my review of LPIP - at half way point
those of you in the LPIP forum will recognize this post. I decided to copy here to let folks get an idea of the benefits of the course. The views are my experience only. Your mileage may vary based on your personal experience and what you bring to it...
I’ve been doing more of a review of where I’ve been in this journey of learning to create my life. The reinvention of me has been nothing short of astonishing, to me at least. It’s especially gratifying when other people begin to notice changes in me, and that has begun to happen.
When I first discovered the Law of Attraction, I was excited. I thought it opened up great possibilities and was fun to think I could cause things to happen or come to me by my thoughts. Shortly after realizing that I create my life, I became depressed and distraught. Having responsibility for my life and being the cause of what I create just shifted the blame. So now, I couldn’t blame random events or people for the results I had, because now, it seemed, it was all my fault.
This created quite a vicious cycle of feeling bad, having bad results and then blaming myself for all of it. I invested in a few more self improvement products, looking to change my life. Some of the stuff resonated with me, some of it didn’t. All of it fell short of creating change in me. I’d do well for a week or two, and then fall apart again. Mostly because it all depended on something I had to measure up to in order to create the change. So when it came time to do it, I couldn’t, because my beliefs were proving that I couldn’t possibly measure up, just like they’d always done for me in the past. It didn’t matter if I set up a support system and got positive feedback, because the inner critic was always putting me down for not measuring up to impossible self-imposed standards.
So here I was, desperate to change who I was, how I lived; and wanting to feel different, to be whole. I’ve heard my entire life about my potential, and have secretly felt I’ve never achieved any small measure of potential. So next I started with Holosync, not because I cared about meditating, but because I had heard people were achieving some measure of peace with themselves. I felt that as a poster child for stress and drama, this might be a good fit.
The first few weeks put me in massive resistance mode. I felt like my world was falling apart and I didn’t want to do anything. It was an effort just to get out of bed and I had a business to run. I got some benefit by forcing myself to stick with it. Someone recommended the Making Change Easy cd and I remember wanting to chuck the player across the room while listening to it. I checked out the affirmations on the cd and realized just how addicted I was to staying just the way I’d always been.
I came across LPIP and hoped to accelerate the results I was now getting with Holosync. Things that once upset me deeply were now no longer a big deal. LPIP really talks in depth about witnessing. There are a bunch of other concepts, but the witnessing thing, becoming very curious about how I do things has been a catalyst of change for me. At first I couldn’t do it without using it as an excuse to beat myself up where I didn’t measure up. But continued practice brought about some amazing changes.
Somewhere in the midst of all this, I discovered an ability to watch how I do what I do and the inner critic became quiet. She may not have been completely silent, but I was able to begin ignoring her as merely an echo of the past, with no real substance. At that time, it became increasingly easier to realize that I am part of everything, in a sense to see the background in addition to the foreground.
I discovered acceptance of self, not in a sense of conceit, but to genuinely start liking myself, complete with flaws and shortcomings. I’m coming to discover that I’m okay, right where I’m at and at the pace I am progressing. While watching these things, I discovered a really non-resourceful aspect of myself. I got to watch myself interpret an event as proof of a very negative belief about me, even though I knew the belief had no truth in this instance. This was a powerful realization, because I got to reframe the situation and look at the benefits of it, and apply some new beliefs. I got to see how default thinking moves to recreate reality the way it’s always done and was able to take charge and actually implement something new and different.
I’m still in an infancy stage with this, but the change is the equivalent for me of years and years spent crawling around and suddenly mastering taking some tentative steps. A close friend could not believe how differently I had moved through this last experience, because I wasn’t a crumpled heap like she’s seen me do repeatedly in the past.
The miracle of all of this, is that change in the past required Herculean effort, and was hard won and not very lasting. Now there is effort, but it’s more about paying attention as default thinking and reactions kick in and just studying it. From that vantage point, I can insert new strategies. Being able to relax about all of this is creating some weird kind of vortex for attracting things. I have only to think of someone for a moment, and I will hear from them. The other day I was looking for an email. I went to find the email address of the company, and in less than 30 seconds an email from the company was brand new in my mailbox. I’d noticed this before with amusement, but the power and intensity as well as speed with which it has grown is nothing short of astonishing.
So I’m not surprised when people who haven’t seen me for a while bend their minds trying to figure out what is different about me. A good friend said, whatever you’re doing, keep it up, because you just seem to be glowing from the inside out (this said without knowing what changes I’m attempting). Clients want to know if I’ve lost weight, or changed my hair color or have found a new love. “I can’t put my finger on it. What’s different about you?” they ask.
I guess the best part is the apparent ease with which the changes are taking place. The more I relax about it, the easier it seems to be. Being able to find peace within myself and comfort in my own skin is miraculous and I’m only half way through the course. I’m excited about deciding what my potential is and enjoying a wonderful adventure. I am also looking forward to what the second half of the course brings.

Here's a great blog by Bill which he touches on the benefits of LPIP, plus deals with lots of other stuff. After his writing there's that option to listen to it as a podcast. Something I've been tending to take advantage of more often than not.
"Stuck about money or success? Here’s my advice…"

Funny, for me, the Inner Circle and the free stuff including with signing up for HS, and other stuff I read and studied to get on the path to finding out about HS, as well as being an 1.5 hour a day listener to HS, seem to overshadow the LPIP course. I expect many to disagree, but somehow while Bill is right on most things, he is not teaching me that much in LPIP. so far.

Mark,
Why would I disagree with your experience? It is your experience and therefore valid. Mine just happens to be different, not better or worse, but different. It's all good, I think. I haven't been doing as much HS due to time constraints and I'm okay with it. I will complete the program eventually, but I am thrilled for the learning I'm getting from LPIP. I had a major breakthrough about a week or 2 ago, and it's been getting better for me ever since. Being able to tap into that place of peace at will is well worth the price of admission for me. I think having both our viewpoints in this thread is valuable feedback for others looking to make a decision.
As I said when I first started this thread, your mileage may vary. I'm just really happy with my breakthroughs. Being able to let go of guilt and shame is the equivalent for me of releasing a frozen emergency brake. I'm so excited with all the new possibilities for me without those personal storm clouds following me around. Great stuff for me. Perhaps as you progress in the course, you will have a breakthrough of your own applicable to your own personal needs? It did take a while for mine.
