When I ran LTU for example, the only thing lacking was fear destruction. OGSF helps but pales in comparison to the direct approach of running OF by itself. Not taking anything away from EPHRA. It helped me tremendously and I'm glad I ran it. I've had 2 friends purchase OF and they both quit after like a week due to the resistance. I believe that EPHRA "clears the way", so to speak, so it will be significantly smoother for you.
As a former sufferer of anxiety, you will be astounded at how much OF will change your life. Like me, for instance, my way of coping with anxiety was to stay shut up in my room all day. I did that for 15 years. I still have some of those habits. When you see those anxiety-created, hard-wired habits that you've identified with for many years dissolve around you...It's an extraordinary experience.
Your link from Millionaire Fastlane was right on. 90% of "gurus" or "coaches" will just say, "TAKE ACTION TAKE ACTION TAKE ACTION" which is okay, but to me is like pushing your car in neutral: you're moving forward, but it's slow and painful.
Changing who you're being transitions from forcing yourself to do something, to being excited to do something, thus increasing productivity to insane levels.
I've known that for a while, but it's come to my attention that it's absolutely mandatory to
1. Destroy fear with tapping or sub or whatever works.
2. Meditate in some form every day.
3. Visualize or similar to step into "beingness" every day.
EDIT: The 2nd link starts with "change is hard". That's a limiting belief. You're making deep positive transformations in your sleep with the subs. Change is easy!
Shannon is adding the whole OF script into the new eprha so I'll be running that instead. You seem to be doing great on OF, that's one of the things that made it click for me the most.
I'd say I'm most proud about how I have come to be very transparent in how I am with people, I'm quite certain that eprha was the sub that triggered it the most. I have always tried to create masks for myself to appear "okay" in every situation and it's not easy to remove all of them, it's one of the biggest leaps I have made. Remove the lies and you can really start growing. Sometimes I fall back to my old behaviour, but it feels foreign now, so it shouldn't be long until I reject it completely.
I like your edit, what I believe is that there really is no easy or hard. It's hard if we make it hard for ourselves.
I've started to think that all of those self help books are really not that necessary plus they might slow one down. Say there is someone who is incredibly successful in life, successful as in they are very calm and positive most of the time, they don't overdo everything, they just flow with life, yet they are very honest with their actions and open with who they are. And then there's someone for who it doesn't click, stuck in problems, needs to work "hard" and fight against the stream. How do you get from that dreadful life to the fulfilling, happy life?
I think the deep work needs to be done, there's no other way. Most of the LOA books are very dangerous in those terms, they might give the impression that suppressing negative feelings is okay. It's sad seeing someone who writes a whole book about how when you change your feelings to positive then you get everything and at the end of the book there's: The author has passed away from lung cancer at the age of 50. Sad because now someone who is in a bad place might take some of the bad advice and end up in a horrible place in life.
Thanks for the post Geo.
EDIT: I noticed that some of the things that I wrote weren't quite clear or didn't make much sense, so I edited a bit. Wrote it when I was incredibly tired.
