What i’m doing is pretty straightforward. All i did was take Byron’s protocol from The Work and combine it with the EFT Basic Tapping Protocol.
Personally, i tap out the original statement in The Work by modifying it with the EFT affirmation.
So for Byron’s example first statement
‘I am angry with Paul because he doesn’t listen to me.’
The typical magician will take that statement as a justification to run out and curse Paul, then go looking for a demon to shit in his Corn Flakes or whatever.
With The Work, you examine your own reactions to see if there’s something there.
The isolating statement is to examine the statement, which is a cause & effect statement in NLP:
I am angry + because + (Paul) doesn’t listen to me.
When you work through the work, Byron leads you into NLP-style Cartesian Coordinates, which reframe the original statement. You can do these by permutating the nouns and negating the verbs.
The statements with the inversions then become
I am angry because Paul doesn’t listen to me.
I am angry because Paul listens to me.
I am angry because I don’t listen to Paul.
I am angry because I listen to Paul.
I am angry because I don’t listen to me.
I am angry because I listen to me.
I am angry because Paul doesn’t listen to himself.
I am angry because Paul listens to himself.
I am not angry because Paul doesn’t listen to me.
I am not angry because Paul listens to me.
I am not angry because I don’t listen to Paul.
I am not angry because I listen to Paul.
I am not angry because I don’t listen to me.
I am not angry because I listen to me.
I am not angry because Paul doesn’t listen to himself.
I am not angry because Paul listens to himself.
Paul is angry because he doesn’t listen to me.
Paul is angry because he listens to me.
Paul is angry because I don’t listen to him.
Paul is angry because I listen to him.
Paul is angry because I don’t listen to myself.
Paul is angry because I listen to myself.
Paul is angry because he doesn’t listen to himself.
Paul is angry because he listens to himself.
Paul is not angry because he doesn’t listen to me.
Paul is not angry because he listens to me.
Paul is not angry because I don’t listen to him.
Paul is not angry because I listen to him.
Paul is not angry because I don’t listen to myself.
Paul is not angry because I listen to myself.
Paul is not angry because Paul doesn’t listen to himself.
Paul is not angry because Paul listens to himself.
You then remove the new statements that don’t make sense. Some of them will have things you’ve never considered for you to think about.
For example, I am angry because Paul doesn’t listen to me has the following turnarounds:
Paul is angry because I don’t listen to myself,
I am angry because Paul doesn’t listen to himself,
Paul is not angry because he listens to himself.
Depending on the situation, these or other statements may be as true as the original statement, but you never considered them (and will probably deny them the first time you hear them, but upon further thought will admit there’s some fact to verify them, to your ego’s chagrin).
Whatever the truest statement is, you tap on that as, for example:
Paul is angry because I don’t listen to him. Even though i don’t listen to Paul causing him not to listen to me, i fully and completely accept myself.
This also includes turning around statement 6, where you change
‘i never want Paul to XYZ’
into _‘I look forward to Paul doing XYZ.’
And this becomes
Even though i didn’t want Paul to XYZ, i look forward to him doing that and i fully and completely accept myself in that situation.'
…for you to tap on.
From there, you ask yourself how you can make looking forward to something you wanted to avoid work in your favor?
That will require some thinking. This exercise is a lot harder than it seems and requires lateral thinking, because you’re often facing your own internal demons here.
You as a magician have an advantage over some of Byron’s other students in that you can conjure the emotions and thoughts you come up with directly, and speak right into them to find out what is going on.
Fwiw, every verb and noun can be anthropomorphized as a spirit entity, so if jealousy or resentment is the issue, you can call on the spirit of jealousy or resentment and speak to it directly in trance, asking it for info on what it is doing in your life, and why. In this way, you can find out what jealousy or resentment mean to you, in this example.
You can also banish it, if need be, or command it to work for you rather than against you, as a familiar.
If after conjuring your own internal demons you still want to hit Paul with the blasting rod, go right ahead and do it. You’ll have dealt with your own internal issues and removed all guilt, and Paul will in fact end up finding your desired shit stains in his cereal.
However, 9 times out of 10 you’ll realize it wasn’t Paul at fault at all, rather it was your own internal processing and blockages holding you down.
Your statements will be different, but the process is pretty much the same.
Byron is a genius for creating this Work, it really exposed the things i don’t want to face about myself and can do the same for you if you let it.
