Self Mastery Program Gary Van Warmerdam 10/10

The Self Mastery Program 

http://www.pathwaytohappiness.com/self_mastery.htm

The first 4 courses are free, try it out!!! This got me out of depression… easily! Can’t recommend it enough. I’m so thankful I went through depression, it allowed me to learn so many amazing things and this is a very pragmatic approach to spirituality.

in one phrase:

This course teaches you to stop giving reasons for not expressing the feeling of love and therefor increases your happiness and awareness level to the max!

 

So I must give credit to my spiritual master, Gary van Warmerdam and his program that I found to be excellent and helped me to master my emotions… I made it nearly 10 years ago. It is based on the toltecs (ancient Mexican tribe) spirituality, so his spiritual master is Don Miguel Ruiz author of the 4 Agreements best seller book. I found him better than Don Miguel Ruiz, but I only have been reading his books, I didn’t have a course from him. Gary did.

Here are the reasons I deeply recommend this mp3, $200, one year course. that you split in two halves.

The first 4 courses are free trial, 5 to 14 cost $100, When you are done, if you really like it, you can choose to pay an extra $100 and you will get the courses 14 to 26, which is not a must, but you will want it You should work 2 weeks on each exercice, exemption is made on course one to two, only one week there. If you can’t resist, and you go quicker than this, this is your ego that don’t want you to succeed, setting the bar too high and you will fail at mastering your emotions. Sorry no magic button here, you still have to do the work and the work is a one year wicked mind game you are playing without no-one noticing it or needing to know what your are doing.

What? Why paying? Well if you want to master your emotions, it is the way to go, no joke! Paying is not a bad thing, especially if the information is actually worth billions… or how much do you think your happiness is worth?

There is also a ton of free stuff from him downloadable as podcast through iTunes  (called “happiness through self awareness”), but it will be the theory, not the practice exercices. I advise you to do the free stuff first, not to believe me blindly! find it here too: http://www.pathwaytohappiness.com/insights.htm 

This is what makes the difference, the exercices, the doing, not the knowing!

 

What you get from this course: A spiritual course from a former nuclear power plant engineer, very structured mind that want to solve problems, crushing the ego in an effective way. Exactly what a so called grounded and rational person would need! It helps you to release the ground too! But no science,..., spirituality, like Leo I would say not Sam Harris style, that I actually find dangerous and very very little religious stuff talk here.

 

-fact is, you will never get rid of the voice in your head. This course offers you the possibility to be able to watch what happens in your thinking process, watching several ridiculous characters in your head having a dialogue and that you are constantly acting out without noticing it. watching your thoughts becomes a habit and you will then be able to anticipate more and more the reactions of your monkey mind just by doing some given exercise until the next exercice. At the end you are able to do “all” the tasks together, if you do 3 or 4 it is already excellent. It's like learning a new sport or art.

I really had like the matrix effect where everything, the unconscious mind process, slows down and you can anticipate what thought is coming next and your automatic reactions… which gives you the opportunity to change the final reaction. 

 

What I miss with that course is what I found in Leo’s video! I find Leo’s enlightenment videos one of the best thing I’ve ever found on the internet, The no-self concept,. You will also find it in this course but not explained like Leo's breaking ball style. It is a progressive process, a journey into getting to know the monkey mind by heart and controlling it at the end. You can then choose in a millisecond if you want to express empathy or gratitude, love or joy, anything but anger and envy, jealousy and so on…  

I understood everybody’s reaction a lot better too, which makes you feel a lot cleverer than everybody else, a nice and big trick from the ego, which I fell into…

I had a lot of awakening moments, I found my one and only purpose in life too, expressing love, this is for me what it all comes down to, expressing love for no reason at all, for love being the most irrational thing ever and because it just feels amazing doing it!

 

Does it work? Big time! if you do the work, it will work! It helped me a lot and still do. I can help a lot of friends having a hard time handling their ego too. I made the mistake to think that the work was finished after the one year course… ego came back with a vengeance… I learned out of it that the work is never finished…

So enjoy happiness, if you have any questions, go ahead and ask me!

Hey Hengame, I'm glad you are interested. You made the right choice buddy! Gary is not joking about and he is going to root of the thinking process, not by telling you that there shouldn't be a thinking process, but by showing you how you can master control over it.

 I wouldn't know how to help you otherwise than by advising you to contact Gary! I'm not involved in his business what so ever. So I don't know, I signed up 10 years ago, I can't remember the signing up process! But how come you are already signing up for the 4th course... ? 

If you your goal is your well being and not well knowledge than you have got to work 2 weeks on each exercise, there is no way around it, we are talking mastery here, thinking you know already what he is asking you to do is an ego trick for him not wanting to be controlled by your higher self. This is the most important thing to know I guess! Don't fall for rapidity! You will fail miserably and be disappointed of Gary and yourself... no matter how far you think you already are. All he says is common sense and seems easy to achieve because you probably did it once in a while... we are trying to create a habit out of each exercice, replace the old habits, it takes time! It's a one year process and you will notice its action very soon believe me!

 In the time you are waiting for Gary's answer, I would advise you to listen to the free stuff... there is so much to listen to.

Push you work and make a summery of what you learn in each lesson! I made it to the extent that I wrote nearly every word this man is saying, all the theory and all the practice, and I translated it in my mother language and made a summery in both languages. I really worked hard on it!

Don't forget to meditate! Nothing replaces meditation. If you do Gary course and meditate, you will achieve mastery, which is to say reach peace of mind very quickly! This is like crushing the problem from both side!

If you find out what the problem was, if it was a real problem at the end, please let everybody know how you came about it!

Let us know what your results are too!

Take care, good luck

I'm Gary, and I created the content and take care of the site. Thank you for the review Nic.  Glad you made use of the material and worked it good for your self. 

If anyone has difficulty signing up, or anything else, let me know and I will address the issue.  I'm also open to any suggestions you might have for improvements. 

Occasionally I get an onslaught of hacker bots signing into my site so for protection I set the sign up to require a strong password. Two capitals, two numbers, and two special characters.  This keeps the hacking bots out til I get a captcha system working.  Maybe more info than you wanted, but just to say, I try to make the site easy for the user, but that can only go so far before it becomes filled with Viagra spam. (it happened before).

@Gary

I can't believe Gary is in the house! Woaaaaw! Master!? What an honor! Welcome on board! Well, I'm a little shy now... And I feel a little dumb for not thanking you before with an Email…

I never took the time to thank you for what you did for me, so here it is: 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it was a wonderful journey, it still is actually! I wanted to thank you through advertising your course and taking my time to explain others what happened during this journey that I took with you! I never thought you could actually join or even find my words… 

I could be one of your most devoted disciple as I nearly wrote every single word you said in all your podcasts and courses... translated it and made a resume in my mother tong. I did this because I knew there was a lot of brainwashing to undo. I'm still not quiet finished with the transcription yet actually, lesson 25, "Service to others", I still have a blockage on this one, for the transcription and in real life, but this is funny actually, saying this I've just realized that I've been working in service for the last 18 years, OMG! But I have other views on what service is, like charity or humanitarian work, I should also write one of the latest podcast like “What is a belief” fantastic podcast!

Before anybody reads what is coming next, I want to state that I'm not religious, I'm not even baptized, I think of myself being agnostic, very openminded.

Last December, some magic happened to me, to sum it up, after I got to know a new friend of mine that works with spirits for healing, never heard of this before. After that, in the next 4 weeks I had 3 times the feeling that I could not control my body, that spirits entered into me (cold air coming in felt by the witness as well), each time for nearly 2 hours and it felt strange but it was not unpleasant at all, like being on hard drugs actually, heavy asthmatic like breathing, blocked hands, shaking legs, feeling cold and hot at the same time, crying with a smile on my face, runny nose like crazy and the first time it happened, the only thing I could say was "thank you" over and over again and the feeling that my brain gets pulled out of me, entering another dimension but still clear in my thoughts somehow.

This got me back into my self-help and meditation work/habit in no time and made a nearly perfect vegetarian out of me, (I ate nearly twice meat a day before). I also made a lot of connections with the not seeable, magical world. It seems that I attract highly spiritual beings, I don't know about your abilities Gary, but this is (just) one more encounter over the last 4 months and this is my first virtual, internet encounter) and all this changed my rational world view. This raised my happiness level to its maximum and filled me with positive energy. One day I went for a walk where I walk and run everyday, I had the idea to listen again to your "love beyond reason" meditation, the last lesson of Gary's course. 

And there, I got blessed by a shift in consciousness, the meditation that I did with opened eyes and walking was just the last thing I needed to get one of those moments of grace, I believe what I did was embracing it all. I didn't know how to call it by that time. 

Watching later Leo's content, his description of enlightenment (but he is not enlightened) fitted exactly my experiences but I could actually give more details to his description. So with this I just wanted you to know that I reached the gates of nirvana twice for a long moment listening to your last lesson and beyond the duration of the lesson, it lasted 2 hours at least.

For the new Gary's students, don’t expect to reach that state, I believe I got some help from… I don’t know… can't explain it. I listened to this lesson many times before although I felt like the happiest man alive, I wasn’t actually in Nirvana.

I should try again, I haven’t listened to it since. Actually it scares me a little, it so powerful... I wasn’t and I’m still not looking for enlightenment at all, I want to be happy no matter what and make people around me happy, that’s it, and this from a very young age, when I notice the Xmass presents that I got didn't make me happy for a very long time. I'm also very attracted by truth. 

 

So I've got a couple of questions for you, I hope you have the time to answer them... 

-You don't teach about enlightenment, you teach about awareness, this is what I recommend people should do! Can you tell why you don't teach about enlightenment? Do you consider yourself as enlightened and what are you views on enlightenment? Is it something you’d like to attain?

-Leo is basically saying that you have to go through X amount of pain and sitting hours to reach enlightenment, from my own experience, I have to disagree with him even though I’m not enlightened, My experiences show me that it is not a must.   What are your views on this matter?

-What is your view on the no-self? I know you are saying the same thing as Leo but in a complete different manner...

Thank you very much!

So Gary, sorry for this long text, thank you again to make the dream I had when I was a child possible, to make me happy no matter what... Even though I still fail from time to time to refrain from being a true master of my emotions, when I feel bad, I know it won't last long until I can see the truth in my emotions, I have a lot of practice now... I don't know how you came so deep in your self-inquiry but thank you for sharing your wisdom and making this world not only a better but also an easier place to live in! Respect!

Take care and happy Easter!

With Love, Nic

I leave everyone with this great 36min podcast about Gary's view on "what is a belief", you'll find it on Itunes,  it's hard to get more pragmatic and clear about the lies that happens in our heads:

@Richard Alpert

I'm sure Gary will solve this problem anytime soon! You can check out all his free podcast on iTunes, all the theory, if you look for "happiness through self awareness", or go to the free audio on his website, http://www.pathwaytohappiness.com/insights.htm

I did a lot of the theory before I took the decision to buy his course. I would really advise anyone to do so, before one decides to do the practice!

I like "free will", which is not the same subject that Leo talks about, it's about being able to choose the emotions you want in any given situation , but hey, there is a lot of free podcast to choose from, take notes... don't let it be just words you'll forget about soon! There is a lot to learn from the theory too!
