I’m sitting at a cemetery near where I live. A couple horses stand around near me, just past the fence, one eating grass, and the other licking and scratching its face on the bark of an old oak tree.

I let go and thoughts drift through caverns and containers and finally join me here near a wooden grave marker.

Last Sunday a client and I spoke about believing in things we don’t know with 100% certainty. Then we talked about abstract concepts that get almost universally accepted as solid fact.

One example is the term “the world.”

What does that mean? You assume it exists, but can you point at it? If you start to think carefully about it, you might realize that the world only exists in your head. But you act as if the world exists.

Now, what else do you believe in that you’ve never really looked into before? How about your limitations? Many of them are no more than unchallenged beliefs.

So after we talked about beliefs for awhile, I mentioned that some clients want to just get the basic benefits of undoing:

-relaxation
-sharper focus
-greater awareness of your own motivations
-clearer thinking
-knowing what you really want
-letting go

And that’s fine. It delivers.

There’re also a few clients who, for some reason, want to go all the way.

By that I mean to explore fully all the assumptions and beliefs you have, and to rid yourself of everything false. After he said he’d like to take things all the way, he asked me why people seem to need to believe in things, from science to religion to occultism to politics etc.

Good question, and it gave me pause to consider how and why people live out their lives in a land of abstract concepts, make-believe categories, stifling roles, and ideas of how things should be…

Two main reasons dawned on me:

Both reasons relate to a paralyzing fear.

1. The fact that you can’t rely on anything but your own perception and experience.

Your own perception is primary, and the rest is second-hand information, no matter how accurate it seems. This can be frightening to realize, simply because it’s unfamiliar and you aren’t used to sitting on your own throne.

2. No one knows what’s really going on.

You’re born. You develop into a child and then an adult human. You get told and believe all kinds of stories about what’s going on, from evolution to angry sky gods to million armed blue deities to philosophies aplenty to….

Just because you hear about and enjoy and react emotionally to a story doesn’t make it true. Even if you memorize the bible or the origin of the species or a book on brain science doesn’t mean you know the 100% truth of what’s going on here.

That can also be horrifying to realize, especially since the only person you can rely on has no idea what the hell is going on.

It makes you feel important to pretend you know what’s going on. And it gives you a sense of stability, importance, and permanence.

There’s another way to live where you don’t require concepts and beliefs. It takes a lot less effort, and you don’t need to maintain false certainties about what’s going on.

Simplify.

You can remember that your life is the adventure you’ve been looking for. You find it by letting go. Letting go of what? Of all those fears about what’s gonna happen if you stop being the way you think you should be and doing what you think you’re supposed to do.

We all end up in the same place anyway, so why not get a fair amount of joy just by remembering how unlikely it is to be alive, to have a body, to perceive, to feel anything at all.

Is it not utterly magnificent when you really think about it?

Here’s to your adventure!

Enjoy,

-Garrett

————————————————————————-

It was sometime in 2004 I think. Or maybe it was 2006. Actually it doesn’t even matter.

Ukiah spells haiku backwards. I noticed that on the first time through there. The next time, I had forgotten about it, but it certainly played out that way.

Ukiah, California. 200?. Side of the I-5 highway. It’s getting dark and I still pretend someone will stop and pick me up. Hitchhiking from Eugene, Oregon to Santa Cruz, California. My illusion fades as the streetlights flicker on and a cop car pulls up behind me.

I know what happens next, so I get my driver’s license out and face them and their flashlights. Everything checks out, so I ask them for a ride to the nearest campground. We drive around for 20 minutes and neither of the two cops can remember how to find the access road to the campground, so they get frustrated.

We pull into Denny’s restaurant. I’m not hungry. Just tired.

“You can stay here. They’re open all night. Take care.”

I got out and they drove away. I walked in to meet my fate for the night, which was a waitress named Barb and an endless cup of coffee. It lasted me until sunrise, 8 hours later.

During that night, I wrote many things in a notebook that disappeared somewhere since then. Three of those pages were delusional Haiku written after seeing the Ukiah sign reflected in the glass door of the restaurant. I had a chuckle and went back to killing time, 17 syllables at a time.

That night I decided my strategy needed some work if I was to avoid the hell that is sitting in a remote Denny’s all alone through a night of enforced sleeplessness.

It was really the only way things could go. If I hadn’t asked the cops for a ride, they might have just taken me in for hitchhiking. They can’t just leave you on the highway, or if they can, they don’t generally do so. I really thought we’d make it to that campground…

FLASH FORWARD TWO YEARS

Ukiah, California. 200?+2

It’s happening again.

I was standing on an entrance ramp after being hounded off the highway by California’s Finest.

My heart sank into the horizon as another Ukiah night took me hostage.

No Way. I’m getting out of here this time. Just one more car. I’ll ask to setup in the driver’s back yard. Come on. COME ON!!!

Some dude came walking up the road from the west. Eyes sunken. Scabs crusted on his face. Bad Teeth. Big, toothy smile.

“Hey man. You’re not gettin’ outta here t’night.”

“Yeah I will. There’s still some light.”

“All right. Yell ya what. Imma go to this store over here. If yer still here when I get back, you’re comin’ to my camp.”

“Ok.”

He wandered over the highway bridge toward the store I couldn’t see from the ramp. I have no idea why I didn’t just go to the store and meet someone and get a backyard or park to sleep in. But I didn’t. I sat there thinking I was just about to get a ride outta there at any moment.

I wished for it so hard my forehead got a few new wrinkles.

I saw his less-than-majestic silhouette approaching out of the eastern darkness as the last bits of light faded from the sky. At that point, my mind apparently stayed there on the entrance ramp as I left with the guy down the road.

“I told ya so. Now let’s go.”

“Ok.”

We walked for 15 minutes down the road until we hit a dirt road on the left. Another 10 minutes deeper into some thick, deciduous woodlands. It started to rain a little as we passed a derelict trailer parked in the ditch. During the walk, the guy insisted on having a conversation about meth.

“I hate that meth, and I hate people that do it. I sure ain’t into that bullshit.”

“Ok.”

“Wait here and gimme a minnit.”

“Ok.”

He pulled some slimy bills out of his back pocket and walked around to the door of the trailer.

My mind was far enough behind now that I couldn’t hear it screaming at me to get outta there.

After his legitimate business transaction, we walked further down the road and then a sharp turn into a dirt path through the woods.

After some twists and turns and mud puddles, an old guy, frizzled beard, crazed, half-open eyes, American flag baseball cap, sitting on a bucket.

I stopped to look at him while my host kept moving. He came back. Looked at me. Looked at the guy.

“Oh. That’s Jim. He ain’t gonna make it.”

He lifted up Jim’s shirt to show me a giant pustule growing like an alien out of Jim’s chest. Remember that it’s raining and dark at this point. This was Jim’s bed. I just nodded. Looked at Jim’s tumor.

“Ok.”

“Let’s get going. It’s gettin’ wet out here.”

“Ok.”

So we kept on moving through the woods.

I smelled the fire before we got to his camp. Hamburgers?

No. It was a steak.

We walked into a small clearing. There were three people in a huge Walmart tent, smoking something that wasn’t weed.

“Evrybuddy, this is Garrett! Ya’ll gonna act nice and treat him right t’night.”

I just smiled, took off my backpack, set it down a few feet from the fire and took a seat. The two kids must’ve been no older than 18, probably ran away from mom and dad so they could do drugs and sex without getting grounded.

“This is my wife.” He points at the older woman in the tent currently smoking the not-weed.

“Nice to meet you.” She went back to imbibing.

“All right Garrett. Here’s a beer, and I’m gonna roll up a joint.”

“Ok. Thanks.”

“Maw! Get out here and make Garrett a plate!”

So we smoked some actual weed, drank shitty beer from cans, ate steak and potatoes, and chilled around the fire.

“Set up your tent over here.”

“Ok.”

He helped me setup my tent on a flat and raised area in the clearing. It was the perfect size and shape for my tent, and it kept all the water running away from me.

“What time you wanna get up in the mornin’?”

“Sunrise.”

“Awright, I’ll getcha up. You go get some sleep. You gotta long trip ahead a you.”

“Goodnight, and thank you.”

A faint howl of warning drifted along the night breeze to my ears and gave my a shudder of fear. It passed with the breeze and ran off with the rain. I took a deep breath and fell asleep, warm and dry and full and high and happy.

I later realized that was my mind screaming from the roadside.

He woke me up at sunrise the next morning. We packed my tent and walked back through the maze of woods, past cancer Jim, who was still sitting on his bucket, still alive. He took me as far as the trailer, hugged me, said goodbye, and walked behind the trailer to do some more legitimate business.

“Thanks man. That was great.”

I walked back to the highway, was reunited with my mind, and caught a ride outta there.

Every time I look back on that story, it blows my fucking mind. I don’t know what superlatives I can use to properly communicate the intensity of that experience. I had never felt more relaxed in my life than I felt when my gracious host guided me off that highway ramp.

My legs knew exactly what to do, and there was no use for my mind at all. No questions and no hesitation…

Learn how to listen to your own body and let your legs do the walking. Besides, your mind’s never walked anywhere. It doesn’t even have legs. Here’s the course link again.

Whoa, Where did that come from? I thought, my body heaving, then relaxing over the next minute.

I had just left my first Alcoholic’s Anonymous (AA) meeting….

Oh yeah, you should know that I’m not an alcoholic and have never been.

Once again, I was out in the field on a Command Z adventure.

As instructed by the course, I looked up AA meetings in my city that I could attend. To my shock, there were more than twenty available in my city on one night.

I crafted an alternate identity complete with enough background and sob story to interact with at the meeting. I entered the room of reformed drunkards two hours before my scream to play the role of an alcoholic for the night.

Steve was my name. I made friends fast as soon as I walked through the door.

Welcoming little club they have here, I thought to myself.

As I went talked to people, shared my tale, and listened to theirs, something became glaringly obvious to me.

Of course this is all just my subjective opinion and ain’t worth shit, but hear me out. Doing an experiment like this really ramps up your sensitivity to everything around you.

What I noticed was how melodramatic and childish all these people and their problems were. It was obvious to me that the problems they presented were just masks for even greater problems beneath the surface.

Problems that they couldn’t confront on a conscious level. Problems that were living through them, having them search in ridiculous places for relief.

AA seems like it was pretty much designed to let this false sense of “healing” take place. AA was their blankie. These people used to run away from life with booze, now they do it with this group.

Ok, ok, so maybe it’s not news to you that AA is a sham, and maybe it shouldn’t have been for me. But that’s not the point. As always with the Command Z work, the goal is to take a giant mirror and turn it back on yourself.

And boy was it a shock for me when I took a look in the mirror….

It was clear.

I was engaging in a bunch of bullshit and drama out of habit and belief, just like the people in this group. Fuck me…I’m a Drama Queen! It’s true. I couldn’t deny it. I am among the least dramatic people I know, but all the same, it was true.

I forced myself to ask….

What is MY AA?

Where do I walk in and get off on spreading my own self-limiting bullshit, loving the fact that the others won’t say a word about it? Just “accepting” me, because it makes them comfortable that someone else is lying to himself as much as they are.

Who are the people in my life that let me get away with this?

Who are the people who allow me to reinforce my bullshit while acting as “support”?

“You ignore my obvious lies, I’ll ignore yours, we’re best friends, high-five”.

Is it Family?

At Work?

My Parents?

Friends?

Clubs?

Therapists?

Partners?

Who happily lets me lie to myself about who I am and how I live?

I confronted all of these possibilities thoroughly.

Hey you, the one sitting there reading this…pretty entertaining, ain’t it?

Guess what:

This isn’t about ME…

It’s your turn.

What is YOUR AA?

Where do you walk in and get off on spreading your own self-limiting bullshit, loving the fact that the others won’t say a word about it? Just “accepting” you, because it makes them comfortable that someone else is lying to himself as much as they are.

Who are the people the people in your life that let you get away with this?

Who are the people who allow you to reinforce your bullshit while acting as “support”?

“You ignore my obvious lies, I’ll ignore yours, we’re best friends”.

Is it Family?

At Work?

Your Parents?

Friends

Clubs?

Therapists?

Partners?

Who happily lets you lie to yourself about who you are and how you live?

Can you confront all of these possibilities thoroughly?

Do you feel something burning inside you right now?

Do you feel a little uncomfortable with what you just learned?

Here it comes…………..

Get Ready….

LET IT OUT!

I’M A DRAMA QUEEN!”

Relax and Breathe……

There’s no one to blame here, just awareness to be gained and relationships to be changed. What we call Undoing is actually pretty fun when you get over it being terrifying once in a while.

The great thing about the Command Z courses is they are customized to you.  Your experience WILL NOT be like mine. They are truly choose your own adventures that will tailor themselves to your life.

It’s not all about going out in public and being a jackass either. This is highly personal work that mostly takes place in the comfort of your home.

If you’re curious to learn what taking on the Command Z work could do for you, now’s a great time to dive in to Radical Undoing 101. This revolutionary course can change your life forever.

Hope it works! We could remove the self-development section from the book store. Everyone would already be so stoned-on-bliss no one would be buying. Could do away with anxiety pills. Anxiety support groups. Stress reduction techniques. Stress-driven addictions would evaporate, including the industries that spin their wheels trying to cure them. In fact, if this formula can really make everyone so perfectly happy, many businesses simply wouldn’t have anything to do anymore. Is that what’s happening?

Are your neighbors, family and friends livin’ it up? Waking every morning on fire with desire to hop out of bed? Looking for the next alligator to wrestle? Ready for another day of doing exactly what they were told? Sticking their head between their knees and smiling at how great the formula works? Hell yeah. Sign me up.

But as soon as you ask the first question, you’re fucked. Because it was always just a lie. If you don’t want what everyone else has got, it’s time to look outside the big river for what YOU want out of life.

I’m not knocking on anything specifically, except the idea that living the copy and paste life works. That you just do what your parents and friends said you should and everything is just cool. No one is doing it because it works. So why are they?

Hell, at least everyone I know seems to hate their life 80% of the time. If what I’m saying sounds insane to you, you only admit you hate it a small percentage of the time. Only those who know where they are should bother to continue reading. If that isn’t you, you need another 10 years of the lie to piss you off enough to finally do something. Acquiring this motivation can’t be rushed. Or maybe you’ll die first. Good luck with that. For the rest of you still reading, Let’s get real.

I can say, with certainty, that living the formula does not make anything safe, secure, happy, perfect or any of the other magic words we are sold on. It doesn’t tie a red bow on top. Nor does it then add a cherry and whip cream. All it does is get in the way. The whole time, the very thing which was supposed to make it all okay was the only thing keeping you from living.

But your programming is deep in your mind. In every corner, in fact. Stepping outside the rules, you experience very real physical symptoms. Pushing even further, total mental collapse. It’s easy to see why no one leaves the campfire light. Who knows what might be in the forest? Especially following a lifetime of hearing it has to be scary. But is it?

Come and see for yourself. Undoing is the process of destroying all programing. All limitation in your mind. Everything that keeps you living a life you don’t want to keep living. But without this… what would you do with your life, you may ask.

That will be up to you. Personally, I travel the world full-time and just do whatever I want everyday (same as the retired but started at 21 instead of 70). Likely, you’ll try many things and eventually what you really want will come into view. The process starts now. It isn’t something you can just think about it. It’s about direct experience. And i have for you the best news.

You don’t need to continue living a life of quiet disappointment. You need not stare out the window hoping something will change. Waiting for the day it finally comes. You can start shoveling baggage out of your way right now. That baggage is the only reason you aren’t already living the real good life.

Most people wait for a car accident, losing a limb, or some other near-life experience to finally get real. And that does work. A direct confrontation with your own mortality saws through programming instantly. And yes, the people who really live tend to be those lucky enough to have had a few of them, but if you’re done waiting… Hoping… Gambling if it will happen before you die, or just aren’t really interested in losing a limb or driving off a bridge, you can start right now instead.

It isn’t going to be instant, but you’ll be shocked how fast it really can happen. And it’s a helluva lot faster than filling that chair by the window, wondering if you or the dog beside you will die first, hoping something smacks you across the head hard enough so you finally change your life.

We live our lives as we were shown to. We got in the back seat somewhere after birth and now sit calmly. We watch as things go by. But who’s driving? Is anyone? We’re all driving in circles, but no one is at the wheel. Imagine where you might go, if instead of continuing with habits and programming, you hopped behind the wheel. Right now, you don’t need an answer for where, only to acknowledge the desire to do so. To see something new. And leave behind a life of nothing but stress.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I know on my death bed, I don’t want to stare at a map, contemplating the small circle around my house. The space I never left. How I was so sure I had it right? But death beside me, it now so clear my comfort zone was actually not an oasis, but a prison.

I was too afraid to even take the first step.

You can take the first step now. For the next 8 hours, you can get the undoing mega bundle at half-off.

This is about lies. We are about commit heresy: talk about reality in a world that’s sleeping.

When faced with a  decision, how do you begin? Most will engage their system of probability in their head. They figure, well if I do this, then that has X% chance of happening. This has Y% chance. They weight the situation on their mental scales. But let’s go deeper.

Extensive research has been conducted into the effectiveness of eyewitness testimony. Simple, right? If we think someone did it, are people reliable? It’s been found to be incredibly inaccurate, actually. What researchers found was that given 20 eyewitnesses, almost all of them will tell the story differently. Also, they usually just focus on the weapon in fear and forget all of the real details. Including what the perp actually looks like. It’s not only that.

When quizzed, they’d make things up, feeling pressured that they should know something (ignoring their programmed-in limitations rather). Also, their story would change over time. After a week, it would often be so different that it sounded like an entirely different event.

It gets worse.

There have been *hundreds* of cases where, with the advent of modern forensics, a person was found to be innocent after being convicted by eyewitness testimony. Researchers found that the person convicted had been shown to the eye witnesses multiple times in a lineup. They were chosen in the second lineup but really they were the -only familiar face- in that lineup (they appeared before). The witnesses didn’t even remember it accurately at all.

In fact, in the state of Maryland, after a group college students began unearthing old cases of inmates on death row, there were more people coming off death row than being executed. Following, states began abolishing the death penalty. Because we don’t really know. So, how accurate is everyone’s little probability game in their head? (What is it really based on?)

Are you sure that’s going to happen? If you’re afraid of it, don’t you tweak the % so you can feel comfortable not doing it? Does the only familiar option always feel right?

I’ll leave the rest of this honest inquiry to you. But if you want to move past these kinds of games and see what’s really going on, beyond the boundaries of the known (fear), we’re inviting you to experience a radical undoing session for only $37.

Normally, it’s almost 10x that, but we’re going to do it as a group so you can try it out. This isn’t about selling you on it. My thing is telling you to look for yourself. Try it out, if it isn’t for you, walk away (I mean it.)

I’m not going to tell you how to live your life. I’m just making the tools for achieving *real* freedom openly available, for permanently reversing your conditioning.

Lance’s Radical Undoing 101 Field Report

Adventure:

Go to a grocery store and shop out of other people’s carts.

This adventure comes from the Non-Sequitor Suite:

When I came across this adventure my first reaction was a cringing resistance. I thought to myself;

Why?

What’s the point?

What if the shopper punches me in the face?

What if they call security?

These thoughts and emotions gradually defused into:

Why not do it?

What is this Adventure all about for ME?

Where is my fear coming from?

How am I going to accomplish/approach this?

POSSIBLE APPROACHES I CONSIDERED:

1. Avoid eye contact take the goods and run.

2. Say hello take their stuff and await the backlash.

3. Ask if I can take their stuff, when they say “no,” I take it anyway.

4.  Say pleasantly “oh, I was looking for those, thanks” and walk away with a smile.

5.  Run in, start grabbing shit and deal with the “consequences.”

Ok, Time for Action

As I do before entering most potentially stress inducing social situations, I loosened myself up with undoing exercises, Simple Twist of Face, Atlas Shrugged, and the Laughing Breath.

Ok, I’m ready to go, I’m walking in the Safeway door;

I wandered about the store looking for someone to strike.  As I would approach potential “victims” I would feel anxiety rush through my pelvis and feet, my breath shortening.  (The more I “undo” the more I have become aware of the physical origins of my fears).

I walked past one young woman kneeling down with her basket a few feet away, I decided I didn’t really want to bother her, in other words I chickened out…no biggie.

I turned the corner and saw an entire family around a cart, I must have been thinking safety in numbers, I have no idea, but I had definitely flicked the switch, I was going to take something from this family… There they are, Bananas!

I inspected their cart and announced pleasantly, “I was looking for these, thanks.” I took them and put them in my basket smiled nodded and walked away.  As I walked away I heard the whole family BURST into laughter.  Alright! When I first considered this exercise I thought it could end with a fist fight; that was not a bad result at all!  I walked away smiling, feeling anxious but more confident.

When my own giggling subsided I spotted another woman with a cart.  I felt uneasiness rising in the body and I could feel my heart strongly beating.   I approached her and enquired about a bag of potato chips, she replied that that there was a deal-“ four bags for 10 dollars in the other aisle”. I asked if I could have her bag, she replied with an an emphatic “NO”.  I reached in her cart and took the bag anyway, I put it in my basket, said “thanks”, smiled and walked away. I heard her shout at my back “Asshole!!”

At this point I began to feel a little anxious, I let the sensations rush over me, I wandered looking for another shopper to “steal” from.  I ended up at the cash register.  I paid for the bananas and the bag of Lays and headed for the door walking straight past the sour lady glaring directly at me one more time. I repeated my gratefulness to her “thanks again” I sang, as I walked out the automatic doors, barely containing my laughter.  Anxious energy and laughter rushed thru me as I walked out into the outside air.

Mission Accomplished.

Reflection

By challenging my boundaries in the grocery store, I acquired loads of information about how I approach other aspects of my life.  As the “moral dictates”(lol) of grocery shopping lose their power in my perception, I start to see the arbitrariness of other matrices that exist in my world view.  Webs of meaning that exist only in my mind.  I also start to see this more and more in others around me, how their imagined boundaries imprison their free expression.  It’s one thing to think about and read about it. It’s a completely different thing to experience firsthand.

I have found that Radical Undoing 101 has encouraged me to bump into my own bars and apply heat, freeing up space for me to move about freely in the world.  As I begin to strategically and intentionally dynamite myself internally with Undoing techniques I find life opening up, Not just in the grocery store but everywhere.  The bars begin to fade into their surroundings as life opens up for me to greet it.

An Invitation

So, What do you make of this?

What does this adventure say about grocery shopping? What does it say about how I approach potentially tense, confrontational situations in my regular life??

And where does my fear arise from? My imagination?  Was my life at risk?

What do you make of this?

What thoughts and feelings does the exercise awaken in you?

Do the experiment and tell us about your experience.  (Or don’t do it and keep your assumptions about it.)

Or better yet, join in all the fun and change for fucking ever.

…We all relax our grip eventually…

We are wired to bend, flex, hide, and attack for the sake of our own survival,even when our lives aren’t really at stake. And we all have a preferred method of avoiding fear, depending on who’s around.

Command Z invites you to take a step back from the lunacy of power hungry, void filling conversations, take a deep breath, have a little chuckle, and KNOW you don’t have to vomit your opinions all over everyone you meet just to feel important. Nor do you have to be affected by other peoples vomiting.

Command Z invites you to stop giving a fuck.

Not giving a fuck can sometimes carry the stigma of being apathetic, lazy, or cruel. Don’t get confused! All too often, the people who claim not to give a fuck, clearly do give a couple fucks.

Not giving a fuck isn’t about posturing, pandering, criticizing or thinking you are better, tougher, smarter than everyone you meet. Not giving a fuck is a gentle art and is quite effortless in its application.

But first, before you can naturally not give a fuck, it will help you to test out your own personal boundaries a little bit…

To push my own not give a fuck boundaries, I decided to spice things up with a tactic I learned from the Radical Undoing 101 course. An Adventure called Mis-Pronounce Words.

Heres how it goes:

I had a particular manager at my work that I was a little intimidated to deal with. I wasn’t sure how to approach him. We seemed like oil and water, always having tense and awkward conversations.

The 101 Adventure instructed me to engage in a conversation with someone and just start mis-pronouncing words randomly. Thinking about the adventure before hand I thought to myself, piece of cake!

I walked into the manager’s office to go over a couple things on a Tuesday morning. My heart started RACING. You would think I had entered the room to shoot the man!

Clearly my body was identifying this situation as far more threatening than it really was in fact. I felt my gears turning trying to find a moment to slip in a mispronounced word. Fuck, I thought, this is way harder than I thought.  But, Eventually, the words started to spill out… B’s became P’s, F’s became S’s.  I must have sounded like I had my tongue chopped off.

My brain felt like it was overheating, I became so uncomfortable.

The strange thing is, this guy didn’t even appear to notice! What kind of autopilot was this man on, I wondered. Not even a raised eyebrow! It made me wonder what would have happened if I had gone in and dropped my pants. Would he have even noticed? Would he just ignore that too? Or if I flipped his desk over and spit in his face? What would it take to get a spontaneous response out of this man’s body?

As I left the office and felt something wash over me, I’ll call it “relief.” This shortly turned into a giggle as I asked myself, What the hell is going on here?

There are 52 Tuesday’s in a year. I couldn’t tell you what I did on 51 of them. But I will for the rest of my life remember the day I Mis-Pronounced words. I find this type of experience is pretty common in the CZ work….

Try it yourself; Purposely mis-pronounce words while talking to your friends, co-workers, boss, strangers. See the effect this has on them and you. At the very least it will jolt you out of the mutually shared trance you may have been sharing. And the next time you speak to this person you may feel a little more free. Try it out!

If you’re still asking, “why even do that?” Continue reading…

As I learn to give less and less of a fuck, in a genuine way, I’ve found that I am more and more ready to react and respond to life in more natural ways. Ways that don’t drain me, or leave me feeling discontent, guilty, regretful, special or any other pointless emotions.

The indifferent freedom that kindly… not giving a fuck allows, frees me from being ensnared in other people’s bullshit, no matter who they are, and no matter what their credentials. This opens life up in interesting ways and frees you to live it YOUR way.

Radical Undoing 101 encourages you to make yourself the only priority in your life. The great part is that the people who matter will stick around with you to live a more fun, less judgmental, more adventurous life, while seemingly changing along with you. The people who don’t matter, well, they might not be around to annoy you anymore, or, you may just become incapable of being annoyed.

Radical Undoing 101: take the power back (which you never really lost).

…some CORE insights…

I realized something at the Core of the entire undoing process. I’ve had to navigate some difficult and hazy experiences trying to handle the assertion that the Self Undoing process is somehow a system or a practice or a meditation or other such inaccurate assessment.

My experience demonstrates consistently that the assumption is false. That doesn’t mean it’s easy to describe the process. So far, I haven’t described it accurately.

The process you start when you fall into undoing yourself becomes your own personal madness, the only friend you’ve ever had, and the destroyer of all systems, practices, meditations, philosophies, teachers, and teachings.

As you usurp the power from words and assumptions, your awareness drifts away from fear-based veils of thought and into something different and alien, and yet intimate and obvious.

The only real wonder is that you never noticed it before.

Once you do an exercise—Mussolini Jaw for example—the movement and sensations ARE YOURS ALONE.

The entire undoing process will reveal to you that everything you’ve ever experienced is yours alone.

The process is not what you’re reading about here and now.

The process is what’s going on inside you all the time. You can resist it or assist it. This compendium of movements labeled Command Z gives you tools to assist your own inevitable process.

There’s no real way to resist the process, otherwise known as “What Is.”

Resistance to the process amounts to pretending that you’re in control of everything and a victim of everything at the same time. Neither of those assertions hold true. If you examine them, they come undone.

Undoing your assumptions and unquestioned beliefs about yourself, life, and everything else is not a system or a religion or a philosophy or a science or a productivity exercise or a law or anything else for that matter.

It’s cleaning up messes.

Those messes are what stand between you and what you really want.

Which is to enjoy.

Which is to let go.

Which is to stop pretending.

Which is to stop struggling.

Which is to let go.

Which is to enjoy.

The actual process of undoing yourself is so utterly simple. Yet, the momentum and force behind the explosion out of the web you’ve thought of as yourself this whole time is monumental and gargantuan.

Or at least that’s how it seems when I look back at it.

I don’t know if it’s possible to decide to undo your self, or if it’s something that just sort of pops up in the lives of some people. Either way, it’s what I went through in my own experience. Looking back, I can’t discern whether I had any choice in the matter at all.

Now I have no real reason to make decisions, because I have no basis on which to assess seemingly different possibilities. All the possibilities are just imagined, while what is just IS, and it never changes, it’s always what is…

OK, that’s enough for you to chew on for now. Here’s that early bird special sign up link again. If you’re planning on getting in on the Core Course, make sure to sign up, because you’ll get an option to get all the other courses (currently unavailable) at the best rate yet. You’ll also get priority access to the Inner Circle, which has been closed for over a year now.

It’s a controversial question, and one that most people will answer automatically with a sour, “NO!”

Others may respond with a “Yes, but…” followed by some banter about how you’ve got to get rid of “negative” emotions first, or only if you prostrate yourself to some guru first, or some prescription or other.

Robert Scheinfeld, the author of the new book, The Ultimate Key to Happiness, says YES. Not only that, but he says we’ve all already experienced what he calls True Happiness hundreds of times in our lives. It’s just that we’ve never looked clearly at what happiness really is, and what it is that prevents us from experiencing it all the time…

As with everything we present through Command Z, don’t take our word for it, and whatever you do, don’t believe these assertions. Instead, look closely, think for yourself, and find out what’s true. The whole purpose of all of this is for you to experience it for yourself.

That’s how we operate at Command Z, and that’s how Robert operates as well. He experiences things first, and then comes back to share those experiences with others so they can experience it for themselves, if they choose.

Below, you can find a player with an MP3 of a discussion between Robert and I about his new book and the experience of abiding True Happiness. You can listen here or download the MP3 with the link below the player.

To find out more and to lay the groundwork for some of what we discuss, check out Robert’s personal site and the site for the Happiness Book.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, reactions, comments, and questions about the discussion, so feel free to leave them in the comments section below.

Thanks again to Robert Scheinfeld for stopping by to share.

Ya know those local TV ads that run on cable sometimes? Low budget ads targeted at you and your neighbors for the car lot up the street, that carpenter guy who did your cabinets, and that gourmet pizza place–CZ Pizza–you sometimes call to have them deliver their thin-crust sweetness to your living room.

This is the 5th time the commercial raced through your eyes, into your brain, and dropped down into your stomach, where it gestates and grows into a strong desire for some Goddamn Pizza!

YUM!

They give you that great garlic butter dipping sauce and a side of aged balsamic glaze that transforms the crust into a dessert-like experience to extend the goodness Indian Summer style.

Do you understand the beatific deliciosity of this pizza?

There’s no question, you really want this pizza, and you want it now.

So what happens next?

A. The pictures of pizza and your imaginings about what it must taste like are enough to fill your stomach and satisfy your hunger. You carry on watching TV.

B. You grab the pamphlet menu stuck to your fridge with the cute pizza-slice magnet from CZ Pizza and look at all the different options. The pictures are so great. You remember that time you had a Meatball Hoagy that was one part mess to five parts damn good! Finally, after looking at the entire menu, you feel stuffed and go back to watching TV. Satisfaction!

C. You’re not one of those simpletons who falls for commercials and images and menus. You want more. You’re a DOER! You record the rest of Breaking Bad for later. Now’s the time for action! You read the wikipedia article about pizza. You look up every pizza place in your area and research all the different toppings, flavors, cheeses, sizes and other variables that make for a transcendent pizza experience.

Five years later, you look up from your computer screen and realize something very important has taken place. You finally understand pizza. It all makes sense now. In fact, you’re a pizza expert. So you write a book about pizza, and let your pizza wisdom ring out around the world in 50 different languages. Your satisfaction is so complete, you never have to eat pizza again. Just thinking about it makes you feel full and content. You don’t even remember what TV show you were watching.

No, you’re better than that now. You only care about pizza. You’re too busy for TV now. Pizza is all that matters.

Funny thing is, if someone asked you–which no one ever will–when the last time you tasted pizza was, you couldn’t answer them. You almost forgot that you’ve never actually tried it. But what does that matter? You UNDERSTAND IT.

D. You want the pizza so bad, but you feel so guilty for wanting it. People like you shouldn’t want pizza, but you do want it. Temptation! You know the right thing to do is fight the urge to eat pizza. You mom told you not to eat it, and so did the preacher. The scientists and doctors told you it’s bad for you. If you eat the pizza, you’re going against all your resolutions to be a good person, to keep on track, to do the right thing. The experts agree, you shouldn’t eat pizza, so you don’t do it. You eat a celery stick and read the Bible instead. You hope that no one catches you watching Breaking Bad either. Good people don’t like shows like that.

E. You order the fucking pizza and eat it, and then you let it go. On with the show.

———–

We interrupt this broadcast to let you finish your pizza during the final moments of the show. Come back when you understand just what the hell is going on here?

———–

Here’s your personal invitation. You have 4 options:

A. Feel satisfied that you’ve accomplished something now that you understand this blog post.

B. Read more of the blog posts on the site. Maybe even check out the Command Z youtube videos. In fact, you might want to sign up for the email list, you can do that over in the right sidebar. You’ll get 7 days worth of videos and emails full of practical data to shake up your dusty brain. Watch the videos, read the emails, and make sure you understand everything we tell you.

You can rely on your vast knowledge of philsophy, science, religion, spirituality, self-development, productivity, and personal growth to help you categorize things, box them up, and do you best to forget about it. Agree with some of it, disagree with other parts, feel neutral about the rest. Just don’t think for yourself about it. Your habitual reactions will do just fine. Now you have an understanding that will serve you quite well. Serve you for what?

C. Not only are you going to read the entire blog, study all the videos, try all the exercises, and signup for the email series…you’re going to start a quest to learn and apply every single system for personal development ever invented. You’ll save up meditation points, you’ll find gurus and experts to teach you everything you need to know to advance yourself, raise your vibrations, get a ticket into heaven, evolve your brain, shift your consciousness, attain bliss consciousness, and feel compassion for every speck of dust that ever graced your tile floor.

You’ll join groups, go to events, collect all the books, and become tolerant of all the systems of religion, spirituality, self-development, politics, science, personal growth, and philosophy. After all, all paths lead to the same place, don’t they? Where is that place? Oh nevermind. The point is that they all lead there, and its a GOOD place. It’s just gotta be!

Plus, you’ll be more productive than you’ve ever been. You help everyone you meet. People really like you now. You’re a good person. People tell you that you’re so understanding! You’re happy all the time. Well, not all the time, but most of the time. Well, sometimes you feel happy for a little while, you’ve just got to meditate more, train your brain a little harder, find a new system to embrace, stare at the face of your guru a few more minutes, life hack and mind hack your way to happiness, shun more of those pesky negative emotions, and keep it up. You’ll get there someday, and that’s good enough for now.

Then you write your book. You compile all those experiences you had into a whole new perspective. You’re ready to help people be just like you. You call it: Understanding is for Everyone. People read your book and they understand things better. You’ve made a real difference.

D. You want to transform your life, but you’re supposed to be satisfied. You’re not supposed to analyze your beliefs and assumptions about how things are supposed to be. You feel trapped in the guilt and shame of questioning things for yourself. You don’t want your friends and family to feel bad if you start disagreeing with them. Don’t make waves. Just know that you’re different on the inside, and that’s all that really matters. Even if no one really understands you, at least you’re still a good person, and that’s what matters, right? Do what you’re supposed to do, and don’t think too hard about it.

E. You start thinking for yourself. You let yourself become aware of the assumptions and beliefs at play underneath everything everyone else tells you, and you venture into uncharted waters, beyond the realm of understanding… Into a place where you’re the only arbiter of what’s true or false, real or unreal. Your assumptions and beliefs fall away automatically as you SEE them clearly and realize they don’t contain any truth you can verify at all.

The coolest part is, you get to see for yourself. You get to eat the fucking pizza and find out for yourself just what the hell’s going on. Other people and systems might have pieces of information that help you on your journey, but you walk the journey yourself. After awhile, the realization starts to dawn on you that Life is pretty fucking amazing, regardless of what your circumstances happen to be.

It’s not something you understand. It’s something you know. You don’t have to assume anything or know anything about it at all. It’s just true. Like riding a bike. You don’t have to understand it. You just ride the bike without thinking.

——-

The exercises and material we present through Command Z exists for the sole purpose of helping people move out of the realm of trying to understand, to start the process of seeing through assumptions and beliefs, to initiate the journey of finding out for yourself just what the hell is really going on.

If you feel motivated and resonate with this, try out a guided undoing session. Scroll down to the bottom, click the button, and then use the code: CZOFFER to get your session for $111.

You’ll get to have an experience outside of your interpretations, judgments, ideas, and understanding about things. Once that happens, you can choose to keep going with your journey in whatever way you choose. The cool thing is, you’ll get to eat the pizza yourself, instead of just understanding things other people want you to believe about it.

Enjoy Everything,

-Garrett
