Questions registered participants may ask:
(sample questions)
Note: There are no correct answers to these
types of questions. It's the conversations about these topics that
make a difference. That is to say, we were supposed to have had
these kinds of conversations with our parents at various ages while
growing up. That we didn't suggests that we are incomplete. The
Support Group supports one in being whole and complete.
Is it possible to have a relationship in
which there is open, honest, and spontaneous communication, zero
thoughts withheld from each other?
Do I approach first or should I wait and
let them make the first move?
Is my integrity such that I will attract a
person who is whole and complete or am I projecting something
that will attract someone to give me yet another lesson in
preparation for my ideal? How can I know?
How do I formulate the intention to have what
I say I want without having to do any of the leg work? I don't
like to project that I'm a pathetic lonely person, so much so that I have
refined a self-sufficient aura (characterized by an on-purpose,
eyes forward swiftness). It might come across as unfriendliness.
I don't know the rules. Eye-contact, look away,
be super friendly, be somewhat aloof, what age group should I be
looking at—what age looks like I'm a letch? How many smiles do I give
another without a positive sign before I just give up on them?
etc. etc.
Is it possible to complete my pattern of attracting those who
are not healthy for me? If so, how long will it take and what
must I do?
Is there a way to know now, whether I intend to have a mate
or will I only know five years from now? Do I even have a choice
or is it a matter of fate?
Am I intending to create, have, and sustain, a magnificent
relationship or am I lying to myself? Is there a way to know
what my intentions are?
When do I reveal that I have been in an abusive relationship or
that I have a health/physical condition that a potential new
partner should know
about?
Just how do I go about explaining a terrible previous
relationship without badmouthing? It seems that no matter how I tell
the story my new partner will end up not liking my previous partner
without even meeting them
What (and when) do I say if I am estranged from my parents? (reasons for
estrangement might be, mentally/socially
dysfunctional, alcohol/drug addicts, abusive, involved in illegal
activities)
How can I tell if what another tells me is the truth?
What are the effects of dumping my dysfunctional family on the
one I say I love? Is there a way to not have to submit my intended
to the abusive communications of my family members?

about
Questions about the Tutorial:
long
It takes about 30 minutes to read. However it takes a while to
compose and post a question and wait for the coach's reply (seldom
longer than 72 hours).
The material is designed to stimulate conversations between you and
the coach. There is no outside reading required.

can
Can I do the tutorial even though I am already in a relationship?
Yes. Assuming of course you have communicated
verbally to your partner that you are still looking.
Delivering the
"You're not my number ten" communication up front is an excellent
way to create a magnificent relationship. It creates space for other
uncomfortable truths to be shared.

sex
Can I do the Tutorial if I am looking for someone my own sex?
Absolutely yes. You have to be willing to identify your sex and preferences
to the coach otherwise it would be impossible for you to communicate
spontaneously—you'd have to keep part of your mind on hiding (deceit) and gender nouns
etc. Also, if you have not already, you would be supported in "coming out."
First to your family,
then your
close friends, so that we could be certain that thwartings and
communication breakdowns were not the consequences of deceptions. To
"come out" we'd first address the source of your fear. Then we'd
design communication scenarios for each person.

quit
What happens if I start and quit?
If you start and quit for any reason life will continue to work as
it's supposed to. Each of us have different paths. No matter what
path you choose it will ultimately work for you—it always has worked
perfectly and it always will. Whether you are enlightened, have been
enlightened and are not now, or
searching for enlightenment, this process is merely a game to play.
If your intention is to have this process work it will work. The
coach serves as a guide for those who enjoy the unique conversations
and speed of traveling
with guides. Many participants take one or two-year vacations and process
what they get through coaching and then return.
Note: Participants are asked to agree to reply (to answer or at
least acknowledge receipt) to the coach's posts/questions within 72
hours. If you think it might take you longer or that you are
planning a long weekend, then let the coach know by-when not later
than (NLT) you will post a complete reply.
If you start and decide to take a week or longer recess then we
say that whatever came up for you was a positive effect of the
tutorial and our conversations. When you come back you will have to
re-register for another 30 days.

philosophy
What is the philosophy?
The philosophy supports
personal responsibility—open, honest, and spontaneous communication,
keeping ones agreements and telling the truth. This is sometimes
referred to as "operating from impeccable integrity." The
communication model used supports communicating through to mutual
satisfaction. "I think you're ugly" may be one's truth but for most
it would not feel good to hear, except by request with express
permission.
The education process is referred to as
Discovery Learning. The premise being, you already know the content
of the tutorial. The tutorial merely brings (and keeps) what you
know to the front of your mind at a time when you are intent of
having truths work. The tutorial also examines beliefs and
understandings held to be truths which are not.
The process is not therapeutic; it's not about
getting better or analyzing behaviors. The process is educational,
and, you may find yourself feeling as though you're "getting
better."
The process is non denominational and non
secular; however the experience of communication, of being gotten
and acknowledged, is described by most as a spiritual experience.
