FROM AYATAKSI
“What I got from the course: Honest work on my present conditioned state; possibility to get some valuable tools that can really change my life, if I continue to practice them in my every day life; change in the terms that I can honestly take full responsibility for my life. A very valuable course, very basic things but unknown to many of us. I will whole-heartedly recommend this course to all of my friends. This course is so much needed in our community.
I am grateful to David Wolf for his honest work, well designed, and motivated by only one thing, the well being of others. I have a picture in my mind of a teacher that teaches you to fly with your own wings and once you are ready, happily encourages you to continue to fly on your own, in your own space, on your own way. Thank you very much.”
A QUESTION ON CHANGE
Excerpt From A Coaching Letter - By David B. Wolf
I think it important to realize, at least philosophically, that, yes, in a moment I can choose to let go of decades, maybe lifetimes, of conditioning, and thereby change. While acknowledging that possibility, it’s also often essential to realize that, practically speaking, I am influenced by my conditioning, past habits, past and current association, etc. Acknowledging those influences, being 100% responsible for my life, experience and results might look like, for example, joining Alcoholics Anonymous, or adjusting my association so that I surround myself with persons who will be more supportive of me changing the way that I say I want to, etc. If I have decades of addiction to excessively eating sweets- sure, I could in a moment give up that addictive habit. That’s possible. Practically, though, if I’m serious and fully responsible, I’ll acknowledge my weakness and take some external steps, such as, for example, not keeping chocolates on my desk to look at when I’m stressed out during the day. Sure, even if the chocolates are there, if I’m deeply intentional I won’t eat them. Still, being honest about where I’m at, sincere intention will manifest as establishing structures such as no chocolates in the house.
FROM DEVAN
“My experience of the Advanced Seminar was, to say the least, life changing. I am extremely grateful to David for putting the seminar experience together, because it impacted my life in such a remarkable way. I believe the best way for me to share my experience is to share how my life has changed. One huge thing that I’ve noticed is my relationships with my family, particularly my parents, getting exponentially better. Our conversations and interactions are happier, smoother, and our relationship is growing deeper every day. I no long do things because I think I ‘should’, and now put my effort toward things I actually want, and not what I think I want, or think I should want. I feel much more in integrity with myself, and everyone around me, and it’s a great feeling. I am still very engaged in Satvatove and hope to continue my involvement with Satvatove for years to come.”
