Sorry I am whispering and speaking really quiet in these older videos. I didn't want to disturb my neighbors who were sharing four walls with me. I've since moved and don't need to speak so softly. Thanks to all of you still with me here on MuTube. I appreciate you. - mu
***** Again?? No surprise, there! :) How is releasing? It's all about undoing the sense of doing. Getting yourself out of the way. Allowing. Dropping that nagging voice that nags. It's your voice. The chapter from the Keys to the Ultimate Freedom is especially powerful if you are stuck. I can share some realizations and insights I had that have helped me release further and bring harmony into life. It flows now!
***** Here are the realizations I had after releasing. It's one thing to read or hear about it from someone else. It's a whole different story when you see it for yourself: "Sometimes you think you have BLOCKS. This happens because: 1) You are not taking responsibility for your thoughts and feelings (thinking they control you or not under your direct control). This can be subtle, e.g., doubting, questioning, thinking about it, being "stuck", looking for answers where you have already looked and didn't find them, etc. 2) Thinking you are releasing. If you are "stuck", it probably means your ego has substituted for releasing. Releasing is easy. If it's not easy (and open), it is not releasing. 3) It really comes down to wanting. Release the want (lacking feeling) instead of smaller bits. Release WANTS is letting go en masse of your limitations. 4) Stuckness is a want of control. Lacking control. See this and let it go. It's a decision. If it is stuck, you are deciding to hold on. 5) Can your loving, peaceful feelings get any better? 6) It's a decision. If you have doubts, it means you are deciding to believe in limitations. It's just a decision when you see it." I've had some very harmonious, effortless, beautiful days these past weeks. Everything I need to do just comes in automatically. Can relate to people better, am lighter in my interactions, smile more... having more freedom is much, much more than having "things" or more money. It's being unbothered by things that formerly took up your focus. No amount of money can replace being unbothered!
Yes. =) Thank you for sharing your experiences with Releasing. I've heard these and so many other gains from Releasers over the past 7 years. "Releasing" is really a state of being. When people hear the word 'technique" or "method" it sounds like something to "do", and it is at fist something one thinks about or remembers, until it becomes "habit" -- something that is 'one' without thinking. Lester (and others) brought an eastern philosophy / practice and essentially westernized it in a way, so that more and more people could experience Beingness -- or at least become a little freer and lighter and more at peace.
You said that Lester correlated wanting with physical illness, but the majority of sages that I've read have died of cancer ... even Ramana Maharshi. And Lester himself just didn't decide to die one day, did he? He was ill and bedridden for quite a while, and Hale was helping to take care of him. Someone could ask why was he sick if he didn't need anything, and if he didn't have disharmonious thoughts? Not trying to be adversarial, but if something is a law, it holds up, and if it doesn't hold up, the presumptions behind it must be wrong. Thanks for posting this. Edit: Some people suggest that many teachers confuse wanting with true desire. Wanting springs from lack or need, but true desire is natural and a passionate expression. Thus, if a teacher has not discriminated need from passion, chances are they are repressing the natural flow of their being, and this could have physical consequences. I surely like the idea, though, that I can avoid illness by minding my own happiness. I wonder if anyone has ever addressed the perplexity of disease among the cream of the "ease crop". That would be an interesting discussion. Thanks again. Peace.
@107594998803664991827 I agree with you about sages and physical illnesses. Ramana said (to paraphrase) that his cancer illness and pain in the body were a way to remind him he was NOT the body. Lester also said that having a perfect body is not necessary. And others have said that as well. In my experience there is no correlation between perfect health or illness and Self-Realization. The strongest souls are often physically weak in body. It is not a measurement of enlightenment or transcendence. New Age and LOA and others have a different idea and philosophy, but it’s all good. There is One with infinite interconnected paths. Every path -- everything is okay. Nothing is excluded in Unity - no separation. When one has realized Selfhood, their own BEingness, or whatever one wants to call it, the body becomes of little importance. In other words, we allow the body to do whatever it does and it doesn’t matter. If it gets sick, it gets sick. I think that is where Lester was at when he died. He called the body the ‘carcase” - nothing more. He was simply “kicking the carcase”, as he said. I was told from a friend and student of Lester’s that Lester consciously chose to leave his body. He knew he was going to leave and asked certain people to carry on his work. You may know more specifics about that than I do. I wasn’t there. I only know what I’ve been told by people who were with him and from Virginia’s book “Choose Freedom”. I’d like to know more specifics if you do know something. As far as ‘law’ goes, that isn’t my understanding or experience. If you are referring to the ‘law of attraction’ or something like that, that isn’t what Lester and Robert Adams and Ramana and others realized and taught. Beingness/Self is not bound by any ‘law’ or cause/effect - except within the duality if one is thinking of it on the relative level. We can be Self-realized, and still function in the world as a body/mind and so on, and yet have a knowingness and inner-peace that transcends all of that. It is a paradox and that’s okay. I agree with you about the subtle difference between “wanting” and “desire”… I spoke on that briefly in another video. Some people will argue, but I do believe there is a subtle difference and energy as I said. As taught in the Release Technique and Sedona Method, the block to being our Beingness is wanting (control, approval, safety) and being in AGFLAP, rather than being in a state of release and courageousness, acceptance and peace (Self or Beingness). Illness and disease happens. It's just part of this physical experience. Every human imagines themselves to be a solid physical body. It's part of this deal. Happiness will not stop illness from happening. It just happens. Let the body do what it will, and we can still be in a state of inner-peace. That is Freedom. ~ Thank you for your comments. - mu
***** Hi Mu. Looks like I lost some of my original comment as well. Anyway, thanks for that. -- In regards to Lester's death, I probably know less than you. I only know from listening to Hale that he was taking care of Lester near the end of his life. -- By law, I only meant what Lester was implying, which was that wanting has physical consequences. I suppose this doesn't necessarily imply, though, that all physical illness comes from wanting. There are teachings, however, that would argue that all physical illness does have a psychological cause. At any rate, Lester did say that you could easily cure the body by believing in wellness, and he encouraged people to do this, so that they remained healthy enough to meditate. -- Regarding awakened individuals, many of them share that there is no way to get rid of their conditioning. The brain spits out what it believes, just like a computer. You can alter that conditioning through different techniques and by questioning it, but many traditional teachers grew up in an enlightenment culture that demonized thinking. The result is that you can get all of these teachers that are really attempting to avoid the pain of their own psychology by "hanging out in silence" most of the time. Ashram records, though, even of the great Ramana, show that "awakened" doesn't mean that you are necessarily free from anger and such things. Ramana could get really angry if you messed with the way he liked his kitchen run. And Papaji, another great teacher everyone points to, once grabbed two men in his ashram who had disrespected Ramana, and literally threw them out the door in an angry rage. And Adi da, good lord! You don't even want to know what he was capable of. I guess what I want to point out is that not everything an awakened person utters or does is gospel. A lot of it just comes from their own conditioning (aka.. the culture in which they were raised), and traditional enlightenment cultures were extremely anti-life, anti-world, anti-body. Lester was very taken with Yogananda, for example, who was extremely anti-life. He may have adopted his "the body doesn't matter" perspective from teachers like this. Many teachers these days, however, point to the fact that a lot of teachers never learned to question some of their deeply held perspectives. Bentinho Massaro is one who speaks to this, and who says that it is definitely possible to value your life as an individual expression of consciousness, as well as to value your own psychological happiness. And he goes on to say that none of this means that he is attached to any of it. The same goes for desire. He says that Being seeks expression, and there is joy in the act of that expression, which is not dependent on the achievement of any result. Who would choose to suffer physically, even if you were happily resting in awareness? It's not pleasant, and just because you have the capacity to not resist what is occurring, doesn't mean that you can't take practical steps to alleviate your suffering. UG Krishnamurti was in agony for about 6 months after his awakening, because his body could not hold the tremendous energy that was released. That didn't stop him from seeking out other teachers who he thought might know how to help him. "The body doesn't matter" is really just a perspective, and if you aren't awakened, the idea just becomes one more idea to poison yourself with. Whatever you believe is wrong, you will fight psychologically, and nondual teachings actually encourage tremendous suffering ... Thought is wrong, the imagination is wrong, desire is wrong, sex is tainted, the body is rubbish, the world is a meaningless illusion etc. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the effect of believing those ideas. If I have desires, and I believe that they are wrong, does that encourage freedom or conflict? The feeling of wrongness and unworthiness just encourages the seeking to get beyond it. In fact, those ideas are the ego. Without them, separation collapses. -- Anyway, I really loved Lester's interest in showing people that they weren't victims of a separate world. Not many teachers have openly demonstrated these things in the way that he did, and I think that the more you believe that you are at the mercy of random events, the harder it is to relax your attempt to "manage" your life out of fear. Thanks Mu. Be well. Seth.
The Dalai Lama has bodily problems. Saint Lynn, most advanced disciple of Yogananda (who was fully realized before he was born) spent his last couple years in a weak state of health. Same for Kriyananda. I think Lester did have some disharmonious thoughts in the later years because he himself described "coming back into feeling and limitation" about 1968 to better communicate and understand human dilemmas.
Thanks MU, Just an FYI The Sedona Method and Release Technique do not represent what LL did or taught. They really go off course. But Crane has some of LL recordings that are priceless..... Thanks
+wddlegal Yes. I felt that intuitively. And it has always seemed to me to be a 'watered-down' (for lack of a better word at the moment) version for an 'Western' audience. I would have loved to meet Lester in person, but do feel him 'with' me often.

Yes, I have had at one point or another all of the LL audios and have seen his recorded workshops and have read everything available. He was a contemporary of Robert Adams and they both were Ramana Maharshi disciples) and both in Sedona at the same time. LL's autobiography by Virginia Lloyd is good. I've known Larry and some of the older RT teachers for 8 or 9 years. The RT actually does talk about Love and Lester being all love and in fact, LC put out a book on Love and there is a RT course on it. (Larry also in private courses I have taken in the past many years ago, delved deeper into what is rarely if ever mentioned to newbees or 'non grads'.) Personally, I am pretty much in a constant state of 'release'. All 'techniques' can be/are dropped/let go of/fall away at a certain point. The 'techniques' and methods are good as an introduction or kick-start for people who may not be familiar with meditation or Self-inquiry or self-realization etc. and need or desire guidance. I share the LL stuff on MuTube as a way to introduce people to some of these things and give a taste of what LL and others have and had. Intuition (and Lester and others unseen) lead me as far as that goes. Thank you for your comments. - mu
+MuTube Thank you, I Sorry I missed LC's saying LL was all love... I used to do the daily meditations on line with RT and he seemed to always want to up sell programs.... I really look forward to you writing about Lester. I wish more people knew of him, you may try to reach out to Stephen Seretan, he wrote Lester and me... he is a really nice guy and devoted to Lester's work Take care....
I was around Lester for much of 13 years. His constant theme that you can hear on youtube lectures was "let go of your self-created limitations and experience unlimited freedom and peace." SM and RT both are true to that vision. Have they come up with some new angles? Yes. Is it the same vision? Yes.
Do you continue working in the Sedona method of releasing? I dipped my toes in a few years ago then hopped around on different paths like A Course in Miracles and others. I started releasing some yesterday and had weird horrific dreams that were oddly not emotionally upsetting. Have you released much at all Mu? If so, I would like to hear your experiences.
Yes, I practiced the RT for many years, but as I've stated previously, after awhile it is no longer a practice or technique, but rather just a state of being. A simple state of being -- not flashy or noticeable to most. Very ordinary. That's the paradoxical nature of it. There is nothing to "do" or "practice" and nobody to follow etc. Regarding your dream, Larry used to say, whatever comes up, it is just coming up to leave/pass through. Just notice it and allow it to pass through. Whatever it is. Letting go of *wanting* (control, approval, security) is what the RT and other "techniques" are really pointing to and trying to help people get to a state of, as Lester used to say, "hootlessness" or imperturbability." Above" the "AGFLAP" ( although I do not think in terms of hierarchical constructs) - to CAP (courageousness, acceptance and peace). The simplest explanation I can use is authentic acceptance and allowance of all. Everything. Nothing excluded. - mu
MuTube thanks for the comment. I was just listening to some Lester Levenson earlier today. I’m always checking TH-cam for more rare footage that might surface. I would like to know a quick phrase to say to guide me through releasing baggage. The whole “Could you, would... “ questions are quite boring. I like fast and easy. One guy who teaches a course in miracles says to just stand still and when negative emotions come up, just notice the feeling in your body and feel them dissolve and leave.
Bohemian Wrecks Thank you for your comment. Please message privately if possible. I am very happy to give you more information about the Release Technique! Peace and blessings - mu

ur voice is so beautiful and so perfect for master levenson`s history ty ^^
Like Lester, Hale, and Larry your voice vibrates with such calm. This technique must really work !

Great voice. Hope you get into professional recording. Very relaxing and as usual, powerful messages from Lester.

How is releasing? It's all about undoing the sense of doing. Getting yourself out of the way. Allowing. Dropping that nagging voice that nags. It's your voice.
The chapter from the Keys to the Ultimate Freedom is especially powerful if you are stuck. I can share some realizations and insights I had that have helped me release further and bring harmony into life. It flows now!
iwanttolearnjapanese Sure. Please feel free to share some of your realizations and insights that have helped you. Thanks for the comment!
***** Here are the realizations I had after releasing. It's one thing to read or hear about it from someone else. It's a whole different story when you see it for yourself:
"Sometimes you think you have BLOCKS. This happens because:
1) You are not taking responsibility for your thoughts and feelings (thinking they control you or not under your direct control). This can be subtle, e.g., doubting, questioning, thinking about it, being "stuck", looking for answers where you have already looked and didn't find them, etc.
2) Thinking you are releasing. If you are "stuck", it probably means your ego has substituted for releasing. Releasing is easy. If it's not easy (and open), it is not releasing.
3) It really comes down to wanting. Release the want (lacking feeling) instead of smaller bits. Release WANTS is letting go en masse of your limitations.
4) Stuckness is a want of control. Lacking control. See this and let it go. It's a decision. If it is stuck, you are deciding to hold on.
5) Can your loving, peaceful feelings get any better?
6) It's a decision. If you have doubts, it means you are deciding to believe in limitations. It's just a decision when you see it."

Do you continue working in the Sedona method of releasing? I dipped my toes in a few years ago then hopped around on different paths like A Course in Miracles and others. I started releasing some yesterday and had weird horrific dreams that were oddly not emotionally upsetting. Have you released much at all Mu? If so, I would like to hear your experiences.
Yes, I practiced the RT for many years, but as I've stated previously, after awhile it is no longer a practice or technique, but rather just a state of being. A simple state of being -- not flashy or noticeable to most. Very ordinary. That's the paradoxical nature of it. There is nothing to "do" or "practice" and nobody to follow etc. Regarding your dream, Larry used to say, whatever comes up, it is just coming up to leave/pass through. Just notice it and allow it to pass through. Whatever it is. Letting go of *wanting* (control, approval, security) is what the RT and other "techniques" are really pointing to and trying to help people get to a state of, as Lester used to say, "hootlessness" or imperturbability." Above" the "AGFLAP" ( although I do not think in terms of hierarchical constructs) - to CAP (courageousness, acceptance and peace). The simplest explanation I can use is authentic acceptance and allowance of all. Everything. Nothing excluded. - mu
Sorry I missed your comment 4 years ago. I am just seeing it now. Thank you for commenting. - mu
MuTube thanks for the comment. I was just listening to some Lester Levenson earlier today. I’m always checking TH-cam for more rare footage that might surface. I would like to know a quick phrase to say to guide me through releasing baggage. The whole “Could you, would... “ questions are quite boring. I like fast and easy. One guy who teaches a course in miracles says to just stand still and when negative emotions come up, just notice the feeling in your body and feel them dissolve and leave.
dear MU
