Bennet’s Journey to Abundance 5-11-09
Highlights of Bennet’s NLP TimeLine Therapy Session
Overview: Bennet has recently been getting the flu quite often, and because of that he has changed his diet and other habits to move toward a healthier lifestyle. He is actively moving toward several money-making endeavors that he feels very motivated about — one that could bring in money in the short term; another that will take a little longer to get off the ground, that has to do with an internet library; and one that has to do with the hotel industry and will take some time to learn about and move into. This last one is an idea that he’s been working on for a while, that evolved from an earlier idea.
Ideas about him being a leader have been becoming clearer to him, that have to do with understanding what a real leader is. He has been finding himself making a large difference in various people’s lives, and saying things that cause major reframes for people. He has also been realizing that communities naturally coalesce around him, without him doing anything deliberately. It’s just him doing what is happy and natural for him to do. He is feeling very grateful and happy about that. He’s also realizing he has skills he didn’t realize he had.
He doesn’t feel motivated to canvass the neighborhood, looking for menial things to do to find some way to bring in a bit of money immediately. But is happy and motivated to work on the ideas he has that really interest him. Bennet doesn’t have any survival necessities pressuring him, because he is being supported by his partner, and is, in exchange, doing the household kinds of work. He does, however, want to get into a more equal power and financial position.
Since it appeared there weren’t any limiting decisions blocking Bennet successfully pursuing his money making ideas, Jane and Bennet decided to clear something else that was going on in Bennet’s life that is extremely annoying to him, which comes up about a close friend of his who lives with him. He sees this person as using his influence to distort truth and drag down the people around him.
This issue ended up being extremely significant for Bennet’s progress toward financial abundance, because it has caused Bennet to not want to be a person who has influence.
Transcript Excerpt of Jane’s Teaching: “Evidently you are a person who inherently has the potential for being very powerful and having a huge influence, which is beginning to surface now. So we want to get rid of anything in the way of that potential. Because doing diddly little things just don’t interest you, you have to be out there doing something big. And so if you are inhibiting your power, or have anything against being fully in your power, you can’t do what you are here to do. We need to work on anything that is getting in the way of you fully being in your power.”
The limiting decision Bennet cleared in the TimeLine process: “People with influence can control other people.”
The first event in which Bennet made this decision: Bennet was 5 years old. The preacher, who lived across the street, was talking to him and his mom. Bennet’s dog had just been hit by a car and killed. The preacher said the dog wouldn’t go to heaven. Bennet got extremely angry at the preacher and from then on wanted to avoid him at all costs. Bennet thought the preacher had the power to keep the dog from heaven, through his influence, as if he had made an edict.
Transcript Excerpt of Jane’s Teaching during the TimeLine Process: “Just because the preacher said his idea of truth, that didn’t cause it to happen. There is something larger than the preacher. There’s a larger frame-of-reference than him. He was just an individual bumbling soul, just like everyone else, even though he was posturing and pretending to be more than that.”
