You really can’t do it alone
Greetings to the Transformational Family,
I am writing about a Transformation I have had in the last week. So much of what Ariel and Shya say is brilliant and profound. You hear it and it makes such sense. Then it drops back into your mind, only to be reawakened with a giant WOW – now it really makes sense – bang – Transformation.
I had such a revelation. I had a private session with Ariel and Shya last week. I had intended to talk about my work as it is in the forefront of my mind and I am looking forward to attending the workshop this weekend, Transformational Time and Project Management with Ariel and Shya in New York.
As usual, Ariel and Shya demonstrated their great perception and ability to listen and very soon our conversation took a turn away from work and to my relationship with my wife. My relationship with my wife Nancy has been wonderful and Transformational, but as it turned out we had a disagreement the night before my conversation with Ariel and Shya. I had minimized its overall significance and essentially dismissed my wife’s feelings as being a mechanical reaction to me. So my mind was using a Transformational concept as a buzz word to dismiss my wife’s feelings. I was just listening to my mind’s chatter rather than really listening to my wife. My mind had co-opted a Transformational concept to slip it past me – how devious of my mind. Last night I spoke to Nancy and really listened to her rather than my mind’s analysis of what she was saying.
It took Ariel and Shya listening to me and taking me outside of the system of my mind to see this. Very cool – you can’t do it alone. There is the danger and tendency of the mind to think it has it figured out. It takes an outside agent to bring one back to the moment. Brilliant. Transformation. Thank you Ariel and Shya!
I look forward to seeing many of you at the weekend course coming up!
Cheers!

It is important that I correct a misrepresentation in this post – Nancy is my partner and my love, although she is not my wife. I have lived with her for more than 8 years and Transformation has made our relationship magical in the last 5 months. I have thought of her as my wife, but Ariel and Shya have reminded me of the importance of honesty.
Calling Nancy my wife is not being honest. I remain married to my first wife, Lesa. We have two children together and my relationship with her has been cordial. I have not yet divorced Lesa and this is a huge in-completion in my life that I have resisted. Clearly the time has come to complete this in my life. Thanks to the Kanes, I am being transformed and I am being with my in-completions including this very large one.
I just attended the most recent weekend workshop in New York City. It was my second workshop and it was wonderful to meet old friends and make new ones. Transformation, as taught by the Kanes, is the most amazing thing in my life because it supports my life in a way I have never experienced. Thank you to the Kanes and everyone in this wonderful transformational family.
