Hello Katie and all the wonderful Staff Members at The School,

I attended The November 2008 School in LA. I was completely thrown off with the schedule and suggestions and was not able to follow the simple directions. Nevertheless, even with a lackluster commitment, those nine days were the most productive of my life. I found myself in very deep places and felt my back was against the wall at times. At other times I was wide open and totally receptive. I had the patient guidance of staff and Katie named my 'type of tune' in one note.
Attention demander with an 'I know' mind, on guard with my exaggerated verbal shtick or sword and shield close at hand. Staff found that working with me was similar to wrangling ego snakes with stories,wily,slippery,strong.
I felt I had failed at my chance for sanity. But even with such defenses the biggest miracle of my life occurred on Dec.1st. My inner critic, my weapon of choice that I allowed to beat me daily, simply disappeared and has not returned.The freedom is immense. I may notice something I do without approval but it carries no charge and is quickly dissipated. I am joyful and wanting to see how deep I can go. I signed up for The New Year's Cleanse. I joined the facilitator program for the structure to help keep me on course. I consider the money I am investing in this program for clarity and sanity to be the education I never received in formal school. This is the best education available for me.
With deep gratitude and love,
Sheri

What I have learned over the years in my spiritual journey is that it is not how many books you read or conferences you attend. What matters is where you are in your spiritual journey when you hear that piece of information. I sometimes hear people ask question now that I would never ask myself now but that is because I have read extensively on this subject. I didn't always know intelectually what I know now. So it did take all these books to get you to understand Katie now and the journey has not ended and will never end, so you will again hear something whether it is from Byron Katie or someone else that will make you say "Aha". It's a journey and sometimes you can make a radical shift with one comment, other times you take smaller steps but they all lead to where you are right now.
