Part One: Only One Oar In The Water At the end of the filming I told Larry that I finally “got” what he had been teaching. He said, “but you were at my very first presentation of BSFF, you have taken my seminars, you have studied my book, so what is different about today?”
•The First Thing: Watching Larry use BSFF in full 
sessions over and over again.
I answered Larry, “Watching you work step-by-step with 8 different people. You basically applied the same principles---the subconscious is the primary cause of the problem and the solution---with each different person and each different problem---a problem that ended up being connected to so many other problems.
It was just so clear how it really WAS the subconscious controlling all the thousands of problems that were uncovered. And---especially with the Fail-Safe System----watching the resistance melt away, often when the person wasn’t even aware that there were any subconscious resistance. I treated myself with BSFF quietly while you were working. I too felt shifts and changes that I had not felt as deeply using BSFF before.
• The Second Thing: Treating My Subconscious Beliefs About Be Set Free Fast [BSFF]
After filming the first episode with “Brave Soul Mary,” I started muscle testing my subconscious during the next episode and I discovered---even though I had previously achieved great benefit using BSFF---my subconscious mind indicated “weak” on “I can use BSFF effectively on all my problems.” I was stunned.
I know some people just don’t like the muscle testing and sometimes I don’t use it either. BSFF works with or without muscle testing. However, if I had not tested my subconscious on this I would have never known how much my subconscious was working against my conscious efforts to change. I had no emotional, no intellectual, nor physical reaction when I said the phrase “My subconscious mind supports my use of BSFF on all of my problems.” I felt nothing. Nada. Deep problem beliefs don’t always show themselves through emotional intensity. If I had just used “SUD” levels, I would have never known that I was a “house divided” when it came to treating myself.
I felt like the dumbest kid in the class.
Dullest knife in the drawer.
Only one oar in the water.
Here I am, producing the first BSFF-DVD, teaching Be Set Free Fast [BSFF] Techniques, and in the past eight years, I had never tested my own subconscious mind if it’s programming supported me “using BSFF effectively on all my problems.”
How could this be?
Well, I had problems that Be Set Free Fast [BSFF] and other energy psychology methods did not significantly change. I had worked with some of the best on these problems, and where other problems moved and often resolved very quickly, these were dead weight. No significant or sustained, noticeable change. Thanks to the clear and simple BSFF theory and being forced to sit in the Be Set Free Fast Classroom for two years, now I know why.
My subconscious was very faithfully limiting the kind of problems I could treat successfully with Be Set Free Fast [BSFF] as well as all the other methods I had tried. It just never occurred to me to “treat my ability to treat my problems effectively with BSFF.”
Larry covers this very well in Part II of II of FREEDOM To Perform Under Pressure & Everyday Freedom. When I edited this episode of the BSFF-DVD I became very strict in my personal work with “meta-testing”---testing and treating my subconscious about being able to test and treat problems. People new to BSFF or other techniques can sometimes just stop using it at this point or bounce from one technique to another seeking relief. Their subconscious is just not allowing them to treat certain problems. Since then, I have found that some people’s subconscious is not allowing the treatment and resolution of hardly any problems. However, that can change with a few BSFF steps that can open up a whole new world of progress.
When I first treated the test statement “I can use BSFF effectively on all of my problems” I felt no change. Nada. Nothing. Well, I hadn’t felt anything before I treated the statement either. So, instead of assuming everything was now fine, or that BSFF didn’t work, I again tested my subconscious using self-muscle testing (NOTE: We will teach self-muscle testing of the subconscious in the Advanced Training and it will be included in the BSFF-DVD Sequel that is now in production).
It still tested “weak” when I repeated “I can use BSFF effectively on all of my problems.”
So, I began testing and treating the BSFF Basic Steps as Larry had with the 8 Brave Souls.
• I found 8 out the 11 fail-safes were active in the subconscious of my “self.”
• I found 10 out of 11 fail-safes were active in the subconscious of my “body.”
I started laughing hysterically. With all the work I had done with BSFF, and all the benefit I had truly received, I WAS ONLY SCRATCHING THE SURFACE! I was impressed with the amazing benefits from BSFF up to this point in spite of dragging my subconscious behind me like a heavy log.
I carefully treated both sets of the Fail Safe System---self and body---as Larry does in the BSFF-DVD (NOTE: I organized the DVD Special Training Feature “QUICKSTART” on Disk One with the exact sequences I used and Larry teaches---more treatments can be necessary and there is much more to BSFF than just these steps, but the BSFF Basic Sequences form the foundation of Be Set Free Fast Techniques and are important to master---says the dumbest kid in the class---before moving on to more advance experimentation and applications.)
I then treated “About and Toward.” Then, “As a Result Of”, then “Self Esteem,” then “Self Confidence,” then, the “Closing Sequence.”
This was one of the more memorable moments of my energy psychology and personal growth life. I had such stillness. I felt such a relief. I didn’t even know I needed relief. NOW I noticed a difference. Just “treating my ability to treat” felt like I had loosened every muscle in my body. I felt so calm. And, at the same time, I had such excitement and anticipation.
A whole new door to freedom flew open . . . and I became even more determined to edit the BSFF-DVD so everyone can see, hear, experience and ---if you watch the BSFF-DVD enough times---get it on both a conscious and deep subconscious system-wide level.
People are reporting just watching the BSFF-DVD starts giving permission for BSFF to work for them . . . and that was the intended design . . . as if you are also there witnessing—up close and personal--the Brave Souls working with Larry and getting the more freedom of choice by being responsible and the leader of their own subconscious.
I immediately started testing some of my most stubborn problems (you know, the ones only your spouse—or your “ex”---knows about. The ones you try to keep secret—especially from yourself. Those problems you try to convince your spouse that they are crazy to think such things about you---after all, nobody else does . . . you know, those problems--more about this later.) Many of those stubborn problems tested strong on “I am free from ________” in my “self.”---I had treated them until I was blue in the face but my progress had just stopped. But, EVERY ONE of those same problems had active fail-safes in my body’s subconscious. They were stopping my treatment progress. Now it made sense.
Sometimes a muscle test of the subconscious of the “self” will show everything ready for effective treatment, yet the felt-sense of the problem remains strong in the subconscious of the body. (This is dramatically demonstrated in “ Brave Soul Maryam’s” FREEDOM From Overwhelm—an episode that Larry thinks really shows the power of BSFF when you don’t even have to mention the presenting problem in the treatment.) The “fail safe” in the “self” can be inactive, but there can be active fail-safes somewhere else---such as the subconscious of the body---that are impeding treatment progress. (In BSFF Advanced Training we will teach more ways to find more fail-safes in other areas for broader and more effective BSFF treatments.) Under closer inspection, sometimes I found the cue word would treat both the subconscious of “self” and the “body.” But sometimes it didn’t. By the time we were filming Joan’s episode, “FREEDOM From Unknown Causes,” I began treating for both my “self” and my “body’s” subconscious to support me to consciously understand and use BSFF fully and efficiently. And, my body began to respond with deep relaxation and calmness.
The dumbest kid in class just got a little smarter.
However, I wasn’t really dumb, at least not in this matter. My subconscious was actually doing its job quite well. However, it is my “conscious” responsibility to direct my subconscious to make the changes that support the life I want to live. But to do that, I sometimes need to use my “subconscious detective tool”---muscle testing as a subconscious indicator----to know what, where, and how to direct this faithful servant to be most helpful. I have to consciously sharpen that dull knife in the drawer. So, in summary.
Don’s Be Set Free Fast for Dummies • Lesson Number One: “Treat the Ability To Treat”
Make sure my subconscious mind supports the full understanding and use of Be Set Free Fast [BSFF] on all my problems and those problems I help others treat---both in “self” and in the “body” subconscious.
