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.”
FROM MARIAH
“It was a fabulous experience last weekend to have the opportunity to participate in the Foundational Seminar for a second time with both David Wolf and Marie Glasheen and all the other wonderful people this work attracts. I had no idea what to expect for the 2nd go. The Foundational Seminar, for me, this time was both humbling and very enriching. I feel I could take it ten times and continue to benefit every time. This has helped me feel stronger and more rooted in my path. The more I use and commit to this communication, awareness, and accountability practice, the more connected I feel to myself. For this amazing gift, I wish to share my deepest appreciation and gratitude for your work and the opportunity to be a part of it.
Thank You”

LIVING WITH URGENCY: A Strategy for Freedom From Anxiety
An excerpt from a Life Mastery Program (LMP) group coaching call conducted by David Wolf, Ph.D.
David:
“On our first call we spoke about living our lives so that when we’re a hundred years old we look back without regrets. It’s about living with a sense of urgency. Urgency doesn’t mean anxiety, it’s not about living with panic and pressure; in fact, it’s just the opposite. When I’m living with urgency, I’m fully present in whatever I’m doing, whether I’m with my kids, reading a book, walking down the street, teaching a seminar, at my job. Whatever it is, I’m fully present, because life is precious and I don’t want to lose a moment worrying about the future or wallowing in the past. When we’re living with urgency, anxiety disappears. We’re not lamenting about the past or worrying about the future, though living in the present may involve planning for the future or productively analyzing the past. It’s actually freeing to be 100% present in each moment. It involves being available with our experience, with all our faculties. We’re talking about a conscious way of living. It’s not whimsical, it’s not reckless. There’s a difference between living in the moment and living for the moment. Living in the moment is with urgency. Living for the moment indicates living for some shallow purpose. I ask that at this point in the program we take a look at the extent to which we’re living with urgency, so that when I look back I’ll have no regrets. I’d like to read something by Martin Buber about presence. “In spite of all similarities, every living situation has, like a newborn child, a new face, that has never been before and will never come again. It demands of you a reaction that cannot be prepared beforehand. It demands nothing of what is past. It demands presence, responsibility; it demands you.”
FROM HUGO
“I experienced the empowering David Wolf at a T. Harv Eker seminar last year, and I’m a totally changed person as a result. I bought his book and my communications with family and friends has been transformed. I used to argue with my Mom about me wanting to become a successful entrepreneur, and she wanting me to get a job, and just get by. Whenever we spoke about the issue of money there were massive amounts of anger. Now I’ve used David’s techniques and I’ve punctured that bubble. We have a completely new relationship. Thank you so much; it’s been a true blessing……Today I realized how different my communication is from just a short while ago, how I feel people’s energies and emotions and understand them…I can’t believe there was a time when I did not use these skills…It feels so natural (three months later), like a part of me. I now realize that I have two choices; love or fear. I can mirror with love, or shield with fear…It’s amazing to realize that I’ve lived so much of my life in fear. Thank God for you and personal growth. You’ve changed my life!”

FOUR THREE FOUR FOUR
Signals before the snap? A chord progression?
No- it’s a definition of the material context. If you’re reading this you’re probably a human being- within the material context. Thus, we can consider Four Three Four Four to be the human context, our context for spiritual growth.
Four- old age, disease, death, and birth.
Three- refers to disturbances from others (whether mosquitoes, neighbors, or government representatives, to name a few possibilities), natural disturbances, and disturbances from our own body and mind.
Four- This refers to intrinsic shortcomings of human nature. These include inherent limitations, and the tendencies to be in illusion, to make mistakes, and to cheat.
All of the readers (perhaps even the author?) of this article have cheated in various ways. For example, we’ve all stolen (yes, “we” includes you). And consider scenarios such as the customer thinking “I’m getting this for so little”, while the seller is thinking “I’m selling him rubbish and making such a profit.”
It’s dark and shadowy. Just a few feet in front of me, it’s a snake! No. It’s just a piece of rope. That’s illusion. Also it’s a form of illusion to confuse the body with the self. If I’m thinking “I am white”, I am black”, “I am fat”, “I am thin”, “I am American”, “I am German”- these are all indicative of our tendency to be in illusion, removed from spiritual growth. Our actual identity is no more connected to these bodily designations than it is to designations related to the car we drive- e.g., “I am four-door”, “I am two-door”, “I’m a mid-size Japanese SUV”. Metaphorically, we are the driver of the car. It’s easy to slip into illusion about the very nature of who we are, without even knowing that we’ve done so. As Soren Kierkegaard stated “The greatest danger, that of losing one’s own self, may pass off quietly as if it were nothing; every other loss, that of an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc., is sure to be noticed.”
To err is human. Pressing that “send” button too quickly, lack of discretion with that aggressive investment, a foolhardy romantic adventure- we can make a long list of varieties of mistakes. The same is true for limitations. We can’t see what’s happening directly behind us, or hear frequencies beyond a certain range.
Four- Eating, sleeping, mating and defending. These propensities are common to all living entities within the material context. Some may eat off the ground, and others in an upscale restaurant. Some may defend with claws, others with thermonuclear devices, or sophisticated rationalizations.
Resisting the human context is the source of much suffering and against spiritual growth. Naturally we may endeavor to delay, reduce, or alleviate consequences and symptoms of these fifteen elements. That’s different than resisting the fact that they are inherent to our existence. For example, we of course make efforts to decrease the frequency and severity of our mistakes. Resisting the reality that mistakes are inherent to human nature, though, can result in unnecessary shame and guilt, or hurt, resentment and hostility. Naturally we strive for healthy living to minimize the occurrence and effects of disease and old age. Denying their inevitable reality, however, might be the cause of excessive anxiety, or debilitating depression, and hindering our spiritual growth.
How are we responding to the human context? Are we trying to avoid it, to escape the pain of it? To what extent are we consciously responding to its various features with a sense of purpose? Embracing the fifteen factors as integral to the human experience opens the possibility of utilizing the material condition in the service of self-awareness, of realization that we’re the driver of the car, supporting our spiritual growth. We get to consider how the material context provides a complete arrangement for our process of spiritual growth.
Endeavors to achieve fulfillment, contentment and security within the material context are ultimately futile. We’re eternal beings, and can’t be satisfied with temporary gratifications, any more than a fish can be happy outside of water, whatever amenities the land may offer. Four Three Four Four affects only the material aspect of the human being. Cultivating genuine (as opposed to pretentious) spiritual consciousness, spiritual growth, allows us to transcend miseries inherent to the material condition, and be like the lotus, in the water, though untouched by it. This lotuslike state of being is the foundation for enduring happiness and well-being, not dependent on the fluctuations of the fifteen components of the material context.
