We have been hypnotized to believe that we are dumb, while we are actually brilliant. Every answer you seek is available to you either inside you or through someone you can access without a lot of struggle. Seeking is not the problem; our angst issues from the notion that the answer is beyond our reach. Yet if you can conceive of the question, you are just around the corner from hearing the answer.
One of my favorite cartoons portrays a classic truth seeker clawing his way to the top of a Himalayan mountain, where he approaches a bearded guru sitting in deep meditation. At the guru’s feet the aspirant reads a simple sign etched with the words, “The Hokey Pokey.” The stunned seeker, eyebrows raised, asks, “That’s what it’s all about?”
Genius is not a gift reserved for a select few. It is given to all, yet few act upon it. Ten-year-old art prodigy Alexandra Nashita, hailed as “the next Picasso,” noted, “the difference between me and others is that I am willing to do what I am good at.” When you and I have the same confidence in who we already are, we can and will rock our world as Nashita has rocked hers.
Live as if you already know. Imagine that you have access to all the answers you seek, and trust your inner wisdom. Then you won’t have to ask anyone for the time, for all your time will be your own. (Alan Cohen)

The challenge is to allow ourselves to KNOW, and to BELIEVE our own inner voice. For a great many of us, success is no less frightening than failure, and the nature of our fears may be buried deep in our unconscious minds. It is because PSYCH-K techniques can reach where our conscious minds cannot that I chose to study and work with it. I don't know whether it is "the" way, but it is "a way", and it is much faster than traditional therapies.
