I definitely relate to this and am looking every day at how to create and offer the support I seek in order to live accountably and move forward in my journey of creation and contribution. Getting ‘stuck’ in the environment that I’ve created all these years is an all too easy set back. Sometimes it feels as if the gap between the two is long and painful, especially when I lose sight of the journey and goal.

Thanks Jay for that dynamic and necessary talk on “the wound of personal development”. Yes great transformational training companies GET TO deal with this openly, wisely and compassionately. How brave and wonderful that you and yours are so inventive and committed and absolutely leading the way with Creator’s Code!

Here is a little of my personal experience with dealing with this retraction that creeps in so slowly, almost unnoticed at first, after you’ve expanded the vision of your life so dramatically in training.

Twenty-one years ago, I did my trainings. Because of life and timing, my work in ‘the room’ and out of it, ‘took’. The biggest factor in maintaining what I had gained was the people that enrolled in trainings because of my encouragement, became my own trained support system….and I theirs. We were a loooooonnng way from head office, so we were left to do it on our own. Like the settlers on the prairie. we had left everything we knew to risk uncharted territory on a daily basis. We chose this stretch (which we hold to till this day) that “our work” is never finished. We chose the story that we were never really left on our own….we trusted and knew our company would come through for us if we really needed help. So that’s how my dearly beloveds and I invented a safe but rigourous “life-raft” and love-net which has lasted over years and distances. To this day, we are each others BS-o-meters. So hard sometimes, but also so fun and funny! Intuitively we changed our environment to suit our new found knowledge. But what if we had not had each other?
So Jay congratulations, I am checking out your Creator’s Code…what a resource and a gift to the world of |transformational life choices”….you and PB are “The Best!” You never know, you may find me in your front row with at ‘right back at cha’ hug-look in my eyes…Love and thanks to all, Phyllis in Ottawa

Thanks for posting this, I’ve heard people actually talk like you describe and I never got it, after hearing this I feel way more understanding and compassion now. My transformations were so amazing, that I’ve always promoted courses that “changed my life”. I now have a greater appreciation for the structure,support and people that showed up in my life around that time, and the gift that truly has been in my life. I also have an awareness of the people & circumstances that exited my life at the same time, and how that supported me in creating what I live now. It really is more than just putting my heart into the course, its the difference my community that I choose to surround or immerse myself in, that facilitates the full effect of growth. Thanks for posting your Rant!
