Pure joy and freedom

Dear Harry, I reviewed the Wizards Foundation Part 1 course, and it felt like I was experiencing it for the first time. It's funny when you know you read it before or did this exercise before, yet glean something new from it that you never put attention on the first time around. The exercise Lie to Me, especially had such a profound impact on how I interact with others. I discovered how when I or another speaks a lie, how disconnecting it is. Duh! This was obvious. However, as I looked deeper, I saw in myself, how when I want to: please, impress, sell, look good, sound good, or pretend I am something, or someone else, it is all lies, and therefore all disconnecting! And worse yet, I am doing this on automatic without thinking about it, more often than I want to acknowledge, well, most of the time! I suspect I am not alone. After I completed the last day of the course, I had a networking meeting with a group I'm still a bit unfamiliar with, and was now very aware of my default pattern of deceptions. This time, I walked in without desire, for needing to impress, pretend, please, look, or sound good, and instead decided that being me was all that was required! The mask was off! What a difference in my confidence, how at ease I was, and the many connections that I made with people and what I learned about them that now afforded me some familiarity with the group! It was a breath of fresh air! No holding back. No pretense. No need to please! The amount of social pressure this relieved was astounding! Pure Joy and Freedom!! Thank you Harry, for continuing to develop these tools that Always lead to Amazing Discoveries!! I am in Awe and Appreciation of You and your Life's work!! Much Love and Appreciation - Deborah W., USA
