  I let go of giving too much of my life energy to the consideration of oppositions and I have become more integrated for it :) and harnessing my will is excellent as I let go with a sense of being in my fate. I think of it as free falling. I believe I am guided by both fate and faith.

  This is the first time I’ve heard you speak. I found it inspirational and really right on. It spoke to me directly, Spirit to spirit. Thanks
  I know about this will therapy I have had the practice of it manifest in my own life. Its the Hand of God when viewed through the Christian Lense or Verse. In the Nishnabe Way it’s the Spirit and as I am raised both I tend toward using both languages.

  Sometimes I choose to be that droid> I choose the robot that helps me to perform responsibily from the heart. Those choices put me in continual fight or flight situations while raising my four kids alone. XD I LOVE THEM yessssss a family of us wheeeee

  I love myself. I love the inner world of connection I have with Spirit and I recognize that without it I cease to exist.

  Thanks for the good words and soothing voice> great meditative moment> Thanks Garret

• 4. chareza nel  |  August 15th, 2008 at 11:32 pm

  i am struggling and hope you can help me. i am teaching at a private christian school in new zealand. we do not charge high fees and because we are private we do not get much help from the government. a parent asked me during this week if i could get her daughter tested for dyslexia. the family do not have money to do so and the government wont give any money to our school. what do we do?

  Thank you so much for sharing this message with me. My passion and calling, I know, is to wrote and speak life into the hearts and minds of those who are broken in their minds. However, because of some recent disappointments, I replayed some well worn and familar old tapes of depression and thoughts of leaving my dreams and going back to work.

  Thank you for a very well timed message in the midst of my deep depression and feelings of hopelessness.

  Blessings,
  darlene

  THIS CAME AT A PERFECT TIME — I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID – I “KNOW” THIS !! IT IS A DAILY CONSCIENTIOUS – DELIBERATE “EFFORT” TO STAY ON TRACK – THE ANTI WILL IS EVER PRESENT – AND CHILDHOOD CONDITIONING IS ALSO A HINDRANCE — I DO HAVE AN IMPORTANT PURPOSE – I HAVE GREAT PASSION TO ACCOMPLISH THAT PURPOSE – I FIND MYSELF STRUGGLING WITH THE “WILL” AND FIND MYSELF ACCEPTING DEFEAT MANY TIMES AS BEING “MY FATE” — I AM READY TO LEARN MORE OF WHAT YOU ARE SPEAKING OF – I AM READY TO “LIVE” WITH SUCCESS !!

  I appreciated the teaching and encouragement of your message today. It was timely and beneficial. Thank you,

  I can vouch for every last little bit of this audio. I learned about the ego from elsewhere but the message imparted here is the same as I was told by another mentor. The ego is a self-sustaining, survivalistic parasite within you. It’s not really you. You just think that it is. It represents a tiny, tiny fraction of what you really are inside, but it is usually in full control of the ship.

  Once I realized this for myself, I saw how my skewed perspective was causing me to lose in all areas of life. And I lost more than most, to include my life itself. My heart’s been retsarted a number of times. Directly linked to how I viewed myself and life around me.

  When I realized I could change for the better, let go of most of what I thought was real, what I thought was necessary, what I thought had to be maintained, I experienced a new freedom! Maintaining your ego is an exercise in selfishness taken to the maximum expression possible. Let that go and learn to go with the flow, your true self, and start helping others, and watch how sweet your life becomes.

  You don’t need to shoot for Ghandi or Mother Theresa-like efforts in your drive to do well. Maybe that will be you but it’s not the point for most of us. You can just do better than you are and enjoy it a whole lot more if you let go and revamp. You are not really anything separate. You’re a part of it all.

  As I started to get the hang of understanding this better, the world seemed to change before my eyes. Is life perfect? No. Do I get upset like I used to? No. That’s a combo I not only can live with but am thankful for! And I work on upgrading the whole experience in regards to quality. That means I do my best to be my best and use what the world puts before me to help those in my sphere of influence as much as possible.

  I am finding this way of living to be exponentially more enjoyable and less stressful. I have plenty of problems but now they look more like the opportunities hidden within challenges that they really are. As you learn to drop ypur ego, this is how it goes. Your problems don’t magically vanish. They just don’t mean as much to you as before and even the bad ones are not as hard to address as they would have been in the past.

  By the way, I send everybody that crosses my path to your book, Garrett. Thanks!

  How did you know that I was currently struggling with some of the most difficult obstacles in my life to date?

  I WILL NOT GIVE UP MY TRUE WILL!

  Please help me to unleash the power of my true will to accomplish my hearts desires.

• 11. conway  |  August 16th, 2008 at 12:17 am

  this is strange – i just had my third chemo session today and prior to that had a bit of a rough week with a fever that could have been potentially nasty. so wasn’t feeling too good in my self.

  after chemo i came home and slept for a few hours then woke up and checked my email…. and found this in the inbox.

  talk about perfect timing.

• 12. Barbara Maxton  |  August 16th, 2008 at 12:22 am

  I needed to hear “Your True Will ” to confirm my personal belief.

• 13. Barbara Maxton  |  August 16th, 2008 at 12:26 am

  I was deeply inspired by your message. You have confirmed my personal beliefs.

• 14. Angie McMahan  |  August 16th, 2008 at 12:37 am

  This is very encouraging. I have had some very tough times. Sometimes feel like my will is just a dream that is never to happen. But things have been turning around. Now that feeling that “true will”. Yeah, it’s still burns. I understand what he is saying. what a relief that someone speaks a language that understand. I always feel like I have no one that really understands my desire. My energy that is so intense I can’t ignore it. I have to submit to God’s plan. How awesome to hear someone put it out there just exactly as I felt but needed to hear.
  THank you so much for your words of wisdom!

• 15. Tref  |  August 16th, 2008 at 12:48 am

  Thanks Garret.
  Feels like your following me and know how Im feeling! The journey to where I want to be is a HARD one. I never expected it to be easy and it can get me down ocasionally.However this big fight for my hearts desires must go on. There is only one way from where I am and that is up! Thank you for sending me something I really needed to hear at this moment in time.All of a sudden the big problems and obstacles I was facing are now opportunities for creative solutions. Where theres a will theres a way. Best of luck to all.

• 16. nicole  |  August 16th, 2008 at 12:57 am

  i want to unleash my true will and to trust God again because i am finding it difficult to believe because it seem he hardly ever answer our prayer or it take so long that you want to or somtimes go out ofhis will

• 17. kathy  |  August 16th, 2008 at 1:10 am

  Yes i just received this audio file its ages since i actually thought about the book, and wow i needed the nice letter , i know its a marketing letter but it did the trick so thanks Garret as soon as i have willed myself to finish my tidying and sorting i will relax and listen to the audio clip , i may even post again if i think its amazing ,

• 18. Rapheal Adesanya  |  August 16th, 2008 at 1:37 am

  How did you know that I was currently struggling with some of the most difficult obstacles in my life to date?

  But, i know there is only one way from where I am and that is up -my hope in christ Jesus! Thank you for sending me something I really needed to hear at this moment in time.

  I want to unleash my true will and to trust God more and always.

• 19. Chad  |  August 16th, 2008 at 1:47 am

  With these truths you convey, we in ourselves do not have the power to truly comprehend and manifest our purpose. At some point this knowledge will drive you crazy without Christ. Within us, everyone has been given the knowledge of right and wrong. That full knowledge is; true rightiousness is in Christ. I said all that to say this. Even with these awesome truths, you will fail unless Christ is IN you. Like I said everyone has the essence of God in them because he created them. Is Christ Lord? Is he your master?
  I just want to know because I agree with many of your words, but I also know that God is a general term. Jesus Christ is truth and the world was made through him. His NAME is above every name. What your saying makes sense, but has little power and I think it will confuse a lot of people. I am just being thoughtful. What do you think? Chad Allen

• 20. Lisa  |  August 16th, 2008 at 2:02 am

  Eerily relevent to this very moment – thank you so much! I just got home from day one of a three day long art festival with few sales today, and was doubting what I know to be true – bringing my art to the world in the spirit of revealing deeper meaning for myself and others. Thank you again!

• 21. Heather  |  August 16th, 2008 at 2:11 am

  Wow. Like so many others on this thread, this came at exactly the right time. I started reading “The Secret” last week, and am finding it to be amazing…but, have been troubled that it leaves God out of the picture entirely. I kept asking myself, “Where is God in this equation?” And I made a “hybrid Secret” of sorts, taking most in of it’s message, but also realizing that we are nothing without God’s blessings. It’s not all us and our power of thought that creates our lives. God blesses and keeps us, and infuses us with our/God’s higher will.

  Thank you, Garret.

• 22. Sherman  |  August 16th, 2008 at 2:13 am

  Thanks for the message.

  A message that has been hidden from my view, but now has come to light. I must admit that there are a lot of authority figures out there that I have been giving authority to. But now I see how these authorities have actually been limiting my life’s true progress.

  Thanks for the heads up.

• 23. Linda  |  August 16th, 2008 at 2:23 am

  Garret, I had an emotional altercation with a disgruntled client today & have been stewing about it. I postponed an appointment as my family needed me. Thanks to you & your timing my faith in my actions, in the best interests of all concerned are restored. I feel strong again & know that I have done the good thing & that I need to let go & get on. My faith in myself & my inner good & direction are usually very strong & to let someone else make me falter & doubt that, is scary. Thank you for reinforcing the goodness & truthful direction of my inner spirit & helping me to believe that I follow the good path. Such an easy way to live isn’t it. Thank God for faith. Warm regards Linda

• 24. Rachael  |  August 16th, 2008 at 2:29 am

  I thank you for your email containing your teaching.
  I have been struggling with believing God lately and trusting Him.
  Lately I have been wondering if what He has said to me was really Him..
  I have been wondering if, even after more than 15 signs, it was really Him, or if it was the enemy.
  I haven’t beleived him because of fears that if it wasn’t Him, I’d be in big trouble.
  My inner voice (and the bible) tells me that He would never leave me nor forsake me, He would always look after me, and His sheep shall know His voice.
  I know I am his sheep, and I know his voice. Deep in my heart I know this, yet I still have fears, just in case it’s not him.
  Well, I can tell you, that I have been prayng and fasting for a sign that it is really Him, and today I opened your email.
  I don’t ever dismiss things like this as mere coincedence, I know that He uses people as tools for communication.
  So i thank you.
  Thank you for making me feel better. God is not just letting the enemy trick me, it is really true.
  Thank you for letting Him use you.
  please keep the channels open, I’m sure He has more to come.

  11 gold metals, the greatest swimmer in the world, and the first thing they pointed out was that at 9 he was diagnosed with ADHD and today they call him a prodigy.

  The world is waking up slowly but waking up that is the good news. ADHD is indeed to be gifted, they reflect that his high energy, positively directed unleashed through his swimming and allowed Michael Phelps to be recognized for not being ordinary but an extraordinary human being.

  Haleluia…………..these children are indeed here to make a difference in this world, and my son is one of them.

  thanks for the awakening, thanks for this.

• 26. Francine Doucet  |  August 16th, 2008 at 2:43 am

  As said by so many others already, the timing of this is so apropro. I have found myself in a struggle of late, so frustrated at times I’ve wanted to scream one moment and throw everything I could lay my hands on the next. Inside I feel like a volcano ready to erupt. My purpose is unclear to me yet I’m sure God had one for me. I’ve been feeling so small and insignificant lately in the grand scheme of things.

  Thanks for your words.

• 27. bonnie  |  August 16th, 2008 at 3:21 am

  Thank you for giving me the grace to accept a decision I made recently not to attend my mother’s funeral. I knew it my heart that I could not go, it would have been wrong to pretend to be what I am not and I chose not to go against all the people who think I did the wrong thing. I exercised my own will and for once in my life feel freedom and happiness that I didn’t do what was expected of me but did in my heart what I know was the right thing for me to do. So, this coming in the mail is somewhat strange, I am totally at peace with myself and don’t need anyone’s “ok” with how I am going through life. That is the first time I have ever felt this and you know what, it feels very good to finally have this type of freedome to choose what is best for you.

• 28. Gladys  |  August 16th, 2008 at 3:44 am

  Thank You for your words. They are truley inspirational, especially at this moment in my life. I really needed to hear something like this to get me to believe in myself once again.

• 29. Yolanda Torres  |  August 16th, 2008 at 3:44 am

  I feel you have read my mind. I definitely needed someone to shake me up. You have taken me out of a doubt. I’ve been writing my biography and I’m doing it because out there in this world are many orphans like me. I kept putting it off. I found someone to help me make this book. It’s just one call away. I keep procastinating it. I feel the time is now. I can’t wait for monday to call for my decision. May God bless you. Thank you for liberating me. I decided to take control of my life and the time is now..

• 30. Jovita  |  August 16th, 2008 at 3:59 am

  We have to be in charge of our liives. We should make use of our true will. I regard that i didnt do that before and followed my dad’s will. at that time, i was suffering all the time. Everynight i suffered!
  Now, i dont want that anymore. I will only follow my own true will. To follow my own wants.

  Thanks Garret ,it couldn’t be better, just in time!!!!!

• 32. Bentley John Dzogan  |  August 16th, 2008 at 4:51 am

  I must say Garret that the last few months have been the hardest….I have been blesses with so many creative dreams, drawings and inspriration all related to mechanical machines and to deal with some of the green issues that cloud this world….the more I mediatate, pray and ask for insight into what He would like me to do….he has flooded me with some most remarkable things…I am also battling the oh you can’t do it. the enemy with come a snipe me for some of my great ideas and comcepts. Your thruths are such a great blessing when I hear you speak and encourage me to get out of me ego and fear and believe that God HAS blessed me with a wonderful fully functioning Green Brain that does not stop scientifically and mechanically…..I feel the circle of procrastination, doubt and fear of success is smothering me…..such a shame….but I will and am making inroads into a leap of faith and trust that He will guide me to the right people and organizations to maximize these God given talents of mime.
  Your email could not have come at a better time……Leo’s spririt will live on…………one day at a time.

  With tons of respect and thanks to you Garrett.

  maybe it was fate.
  maybe it was due to luck.
  how did you, or who ever got it, find my email?
  you could have not possibly known anything about me.
  i’m sixteen years old. and i have been struggling.
  my guard has been broken down, my will shattered.
  i don’t think i’m okay yet. but i’m hoping that i will be.

  thanks. this made me happily surprised.

  not sure about God , but I believe in GOOD

  and stopping the ‘common purpose’ from destroying our world.

  forced adoptions in the UK and across the world must be stopped, families are being stripped of their children ‘all in the best interests of the child’ now where did we last hear that ‘Hilter’

  Thank you for reminding me that I still have courage and fear is only of fear itself.

• 38. Seti  |  August 16th, 2008 at 7:43 am

  Thanks Garret.Your audio message was
  timely and at the same time awesomely inspiring.Obviously,I have heard about the same content elsewhere but the way you arranged those words together made it a good listening experience and admittedly profoundly effective in terms of taking action in the right direction.

  I love especially the way you emphasise God, a force within us that many often ignore for a variety of reasons sadly leading to most of our own misfortunes.

  Gladly, my life has taken a new turn from the day I purchased your books earlier; the current message harmonises interestingly well with the knowledge I previously gained from your books.In closing I should say I’m very satisfied with your your services.
  Thanks again,
  Seti

• 39. shawn  |  August 16th, 2008 at 9:01 am

  thankyou for taking the time to give this inspirational lesson. I sometimes have alot of problems with my mother because her genius has been repressed. Her parents beat it out of her then she became an alcoholic to survive (bad choice) and her life caved in because of her choices. Now she is dry, and her life is so well regulated and predictable and she is miserable. But she wants the same for me and is always telling me the dangers of any choice that is not on the straight and narrow. The bad thíng is, I listen to her because I had a breakdown when I was thirty and was hospitalized and have taken medication for 7 years now. I always followed my instincts before that, and wouldn´t take any medication, even for a cold. Now I am taking neurontin and trileptal, and being a “good girl” and not scaring my mother anymore. I am like the main character out of the book: Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance! I have no friends, no boyfriend, I am fulfilling the expectations of others and not myself. Anyway, I am thankful that I found you, because even though I am not ready to break out of this cocoon, I am listening and feeling what you are saying.

• 40. Kyle C.  |  August 16th, 2008 at 9:11 am

  This is a drop of water on the scortching desert; a driftwood in the swift flood. Too often my wish or request is contingent upon other people’s permission, approval or consent. Whether it is applying for jobs or asking a girl out. I am forced to play by their rules in order to get picked, just like any other contender in the larger selection pool. My will has little influence on my life because it is often not valued by others. Until now, I can bravely show that I am different from the rest and am proud of who I am. I believe my inner will guides me to a better tomorrow.

• 41. Ketil  |  August 16th, 2008 at 9:20 am

  Your mail and audio file came to me in my lifes absolutely darkest time. I only want to follow God and mu hearts true desirers but I have been so confused due to so many others will and counsels to me. I love your message – it’s a confirming statement to my own will that has been so unfortunately suppressed. I feel so good listening to the message it is so inspiring. Thanks!! Ketil

• 48. Henric Van Lith  |  August 16th, 2008 at 12:08 pm

  Dear Garret,
  You hit the nail on the head perfectly! The overall Will of GOD is not only the center of everything but also of everyone.
  Very early in life I discovered this fact but there is also a matter of timing. GOD is ready to give Us our power back only if it serves the greater good and only if it serves the great plan. Correct me if I am wrong but some of Us have to wait for the right moment. Thank You very much for Your E-mail.

• 50. DJ  |  August 16th, 2008 at 12:16 pm

  Thank you, I am at a crossroads. I know I have more to give inside me than i am giving, and there is a better me waiting to be discovered.

  I am not a believer in one true God I am of an ancient belief but this is still relevant to me because the belief has to come from inside to start with. No-one can change your life except you, all you need to serve you is inside and all of us have battles raging inside – my anti will has been surfacing too much recently.

  Not now!!!!!!!!

• 51. svana  |  August 16th, 2008 at 12:23 pm

  Thank you for sending me this e-mail!
  Sometimes life is a struggle for me because i have a health problem but i read the Secret and like others i wondered about Gods will in this all. But i have found out that listening to my heart and what it says to me is truly Gods will for me! And now listening to the audio you sent is so wonderful and confirms that i am on the right pathway.

  Thank you so very much and god bless you

  I just can’t believe the promptness of this message!!!!! God bless you, Garret!! Your message reached me at a very crucial turning point of my life, when everything seems to lead to a dead end. Deep down I know that this means there’s something else I need to pursue and that’s why everything else is not working. But the energy is not there, even to think about what the next move could be….Only yesterday I prayed about someone sending out a clear message to me, something to inspire me to go on. And there you were!!!! somehow, out of nowhere (not really, but you know what I mean, a message from the other side of the globe that spoke directly to my heart). Everything you say makes sense. THANK YOU SO MUCH

  “Ego… is not a dirty word…” what a popular/controversial song title from the Australian 70’s rock scene, however while not being a well versed lyricist myself these words from the popular song sprang to mind upon listening to the talk.. ( prior subconscious programming I presume )

  I also found the timing of the lecture synchronistically pertinent, in ways that are relevant beyond denial, a truth in fact… in short I was in need of “something” and was provided with a summary that began to expose the many complexities involved that form the foundation and structure of my confusion.

  Like many others that have posted, I have also been seeking some insight… to hopefully assist me in navigating through the chaos… predominantly posing the questions… where does my cumulative programming cease to function or hold less influence, and where do “I” actually begin? and what would be in place now if there was no cumulative experience had?

  I propose to draw the analogy of Davinci himself when nearing the completion of a masterwork, where he was tired or not concentrating and went a little hard with the mallet and off went the finger, nose or ear of the up to that point.. a potentially beautiful sculpture… I wonder what would he have said…?

  The answer is not what he would have said it’s what he did… he went and sourced more marble. ( and maybe a window after the mallet went through it )

  The way in which it relates to me is how often have I been chipping away at something, chiseling the obstructions only to be disheartened at the result and thus berated by self imposed disempowering thoughts… these particular thoughts have formed my library of consequences.

  Davinci would always see another slab of marble to explore regardless of success or failure, his desire to keep moving forward constantly exploring what is possible, rather than languishing in the defeat of the moment, rationally evaluating his list of consequential possibilities.

  In my humble opinion the will and the anti-will that has been discussed could possibly evolve in part from the correlation of the data of life consequence… some internal dialogue may sound like this… “the last time I tried that I failed…, but the time I did it the other way I succeeded” this may begin the deliberation of undertaking a potentially willful commitment…

  Enthusiasm to despondency… I chose to write this post, I was inspired by Garret to write it… I am not in fear that it makes no or very little sense…. because I am going to post it regardless…

  Have fun,

  Matthew

  By the Holy Spirit given to me by Christ, I do understand that some authority is correct, some laws must be obeyed, but yesterday, before I was given this link, my purpose was deeply placed upon my heart, and the first half of your message was profoundly placed on me before I heard you.

  There are places where I slightly disagree with you, but only because your statements have the potential to lead the naive into believing they have all the authority of God, such as the authority to judge, which is the one authority that everyone tries to have, but that nobody has the right to have.

  This was really what I needed today.Thank you so much.
  I’ve written down all the main points and oh The One that lives in me is greater than he that is in the world.Thank you and the strength I feel right now I can’t describe.God knows but this week will in His Name be a blessed week.

  It is noted that you have sent this on the Religious Calendar’s day of Ascenscion for Our Lady, Saint Mary the co-redeemer with Christ. Is that indeed intended? I thank you for this and I do believe that my ego protection is fighting back as ever. It is a huge struggle and I am trying to turn to a higher authority, I thought that I already had. But clearly I have not. Unless the struggle is all part of it.

  I feel like Pilgrim in Pilgrim’s Progress. . . .

• 64. Samantha Baxter  |  August 16th, 2008 at 5:09 pm

  Wonderful! Within the past 2 months, I have done just this very excercise. At 50, I am going back to college, for psychology. My brother, and even my own mother, were nay sayers. They kept pointing out my falults, saying that I should not do this, as I would probably fail. I was dumbfounded, and mortified with what I was hearing. These two have, I realized, been keeping me “down”……in my “proper” position in life…going nowhere. I sat up a little straighter, firmed my jaw, looked them in the eyes , and said, I am truly sorry that you percieve me as a loser. I am a winner. IN my heart, I know God meant for me to have a much fuller and more productive life, and I also KNOW that I am here to serve others….to listen to them…to help them. That was the first day of my self imposed will therapy. I, now, am at peace. Sure, I have moments of doubt, when my anti-will tries to sneak in, but I swiftly put that little bugger right back in it’s proper place….WELL beneath me, and in MY control. Thanks, Garrett, for the affirmation, of what I stumbled onto. My life has FINALLY begun.

• 65. BS Kyambadde  |  August 16th, 2008 at 6:09 pm

  What is it that I truly want…feeling completely vulnerable and naked, and trusting TOTALLY in GOD, Jesus, and all My Angels…being a living Heart, accepting divine faith choosing my heart…opting out my ego…would be the greatest gift of all…I want it and I want it now. No more sacraficing all my greatness that hides inside, and to be a more athentic me. I want to surrender to the Higher Authority and have Faith…..what an incredible message…Thank You Garrett…Love @ Light

• 70. Rosemary  |  August 16th, 2008 at 10:00 pm

  Hi,
  this was a good tought pattern. Being a Spiritual Teacher the first thing I teach my students is to ALWAYS listen to their gut feelings, their intuition, what their heart says is the most important thing that they do. As a therapist I always ask for the healing for the persons Highest good and always hope that one treatment is enough.
  many blessings

  Please can we all pray hard to whoever/whatever we believe in and send a lot of love and positivity to Syed – message 46/

• 73. Christy Rhoades  |  August 17th, 2008 at 12:17 am

  Thank you for sending this email to me. I needed to hear this my True Will needed to hear this. I needed to know that I am not alone. I struggled as a child, I always felt no one understood and I was always misunderstood. This did allow insecurities to creep in bit by bit. But now as an adult I have come to realize to always rely on my “inside voice” my “true will” and it has never failed me and to know that it comes from God. To have you explain how I truly feel is huge for me!!!! I have always been able to have a constant and immediate connect with God. I know that it comes from a higher place and I have the ability to stay connected. That is natural to me but in the “world” I live in I have always felt like a square being forced into a “circles only” place. I think differently & I learn differently and I never felt like I fit in at school or church etc… I see now that I was working w/ in my true will but was told it was wrong etc… and I believed them. It wasn’t until I became an adult and a mother that I started questioning things and truly sitting still enough to “listen” to what was going on inside. And I started assertng this first by reading the Davinci Method. My children & I are ADD & ADHD or I should say “Davinci’s” and I knew in my heart that we were not “disabled” or had learning disabilities and I was searching for answers and I came across your website and ordered the book. I am my children’s mother for a reason – I will do my best to help guide my boys to listen to their True Wills and let them figure out their passions and that we have a “gift” that God gave us and to learn to use it the way it was meant to be used. My passion right now is that my boys love who they are w/ confidence and have peace reside w/in them so that they will find their passion now and for their futures and their children’s, children’s futures. Again , I want to thank you for listening to your True Will and sharing it like you have because it means a lot. My children will not grow up feeling alone and misunderstood and they will have peace and feel loved because their mother now has peace and loves herself.

  Garrett:

  Please know that I deeply appreciate your work. With all the comments already posted here, it is obvious how many people’s lives you are touching. I am one of those people who’s unique hearts you have inspired.

  Your DaVinci Method book has moved me. I think about your message frequently. My entire life I have struggled with being different, being part of that less than 10%. In my own personal battles, I feel that I suffer in the less than 1% population.
  Even though we are amongst the greatest achievers, I believe we struggle and suffer the most as well. I know that only through the atoning power of Jesus Christ, I can overcome these inner battles and achieve miracles.

  Like everyone who has already posted their comments here, I would also like to say that your message came at a perfect time. It was definitely something that I needed to hear and be reminded of. I greatly respect your inner depth and wisdom and believe that you are inspired of God. I can’t thank you enough. What a beautiful person you are!

  Thank you very much Mr. Garret Loporto,I’m really want to give up about my son who has ADHD and Behavior problems but I knew that I could not give up. I’ve fight with my cancer for a year because of my son and family. I don’t know how to deal with my son any more. I want to know what is inside his soul and mind. I don’t want to give him a pill,yelling, …….. Wonder, why you knew that I’m really need somebody who can tell me how to….

• 77. Dr. Muawia Gorti  |  August 17th, 2008 at 7:57 am

  it very difficult,if not impossible, to find suitable wards to appreciate the MP3 on the true will. my problem is that my son is only 6, and the schools in Sudan denied his access! I wonder how could he understand all what you are telling. lucky enough no Retalin in Sudan; I stopped giving him all the perscribed drugs like Halloperidole; although I’m A medical Doctor. however, in sub-saharan Africa, the situation is always different; and my son is the victim of being in a country whose legislations don’t protect those who are like him,, you can’t imagine his feeling staying out of school when his peers are in
  once more again thanks and I’ll do my best to discover all the extraordinary “wills” inside him and I’ll make it a reality

• 85. Jeanette Phillips  |  August 17th, 2008 at 3:49 pm

  Thank You Garrett, This is a beautiful message and I know exactly what it means for me personally!!!. I have overcome many hurdles to get where I am today, and the future beckons with avangence. When I think about expanding this Business into my “True Will” I become scared and fearful, but I know that this is just the aniti will. Recently I woke up in the middle of the night in Dominican Republic and saw a Turf Tower by the side of me (at least seven foot tall) beautiful sparkling turf tower, perfectly formed and stacked!!. I know this was a message to keep building yoyr dream!!!!. (Incidentally we provide Community Services into Clients homes in West Gloucestershire (UK) now we are about to spread out around the Country to create the 21st Century Health Service at Home!!!. This I intuitively feel is my true will, and nothing/anybody will ever influence my true will again!!. Thank You and God Bless.x

• 88. Tasha Claire  |  August 17th, 2008 at 8:57 pm

  You are standing at a cross roads in your life. road signs point you in four different directions. one says…for your career, straight on. another, for love, says turn left. another, for education, says right. one sign reads fear and says, turn back. you don’t know which way to go. you stand, perplexed, as the road that brought you here, though it had twists and turns, seemed the right way. you were following the path of your heart. no one else on this road can help tell you which way to go. which road do you take?

  But then you remember that long ago your parents promised you three things. one, they promised that they would always stand by you, no matter what your decisions were. they promised to help you as much as they could. and they promised that one day, they knew, you would fly. that you would learn that the only person who could hold you back was your own self.

  You still carry the bag from childhood, though you have lost some of the fears you had from when you were young, there is something in the bag you have never used. something that anyone who ever loved you has given you permission to use whenever you needed to follow your highest calling. when you needed to reach for the stars and achieve all your dreams.

  You take the bag off from your shoulders. inside is a neatly folded unused pair of wings. they are yours. you need them now because the only way you are going to realise your true potential and acheive everything your heart has been longing for is if you get off the road, where travel is long, lonely and slow, and learn to fly.

  There are no limits in space. take your wings and find the freedom of the skies.

  Hi Garret,

  I understood fully the message. Most of us comment and make so much noise about people and our situations but we never listen to ourselves and our inner voices as we do not trust our own internal guidance. I have always made comments about people but I understand now that this is our “ego” in order to help others you have to be accepting of all. In acceptance comes forgiveness and this gives us all the ability to move forward.

  Thank You I will listen to the message many more times.

• 92. Nancy  |  August 18th, 2008 at 2:53 am

  I could repeat what others have said, yes we all want to say thank you and so on…. but the interesting part is that with the change of season starting up in the air, people are starting up a new cycle, a new phase in their lives. It is always felt as a sensation that may be physically, mentally or spiritually felt. I would really enjoy being able to communicate with others having the same feeling as I. I don’t know if you already do, but if you had a chat room… there’s so much potential… Intriguing minds can fascinate each other…

• 93. Nikki  |  August 18th, 2008 at 5:17 am

  Thank you for sending me these pearls of wisdom. In each of our lives, we come to points and moments of realization. Stay with the flow, follow it with each breath as it comes, and ride the crest of self-knowlege that comes with truth.

  In my own life I have known difficulty, but I persevere, knowing, that all of the answers that I seek are already within me. When we follow our our intuition, hunches and instincts, we are already on the way to a better, saner method of living.

  So, Garret, thank you again for your words. They really were a great cap to a week filled with the wonder of self-discovery.

• 94. Sam  |  August 18th, 2008 at 6:18 am

  Thanks Garret for making me realize my inner great strength. For unlocking my true potential. I have always lived in the shadow of my past that restricted me from achieving greater in my future. Thanks for releasing me from my anti-will. From Today 18-08-08 I will surrender my True will to the person I trust, and that is GOD.

• 95. Kedibone  |  August 18th, 2008 at 8:16 am

  This is so amazing as i have been battling with what i feel led to be doing with my life. I have never done it before, and always wonder if i’m crazy to be doing that. On the other hand i have been struggling with fulfillment of life, and yet when i do this thing i feel fulfilled and humbled. Your message came, like everybody, at the right time. And even if my ego tells me I’m crazy, i know that if i don’t follow this path my life will be a waste. Thank you for the encouragment that it is good to feel velnerable. All i have to do now is trust that GOD will lead, guide and protect me.

  Thank you so much, and i will go look for your book.

  Much love,
  Kedi

  A little push to the right direction that is what i need. My entire being agrees to this calling of being a full time business woman and a fulltime mom. Its time to make that change, God help me. To receive this e-mail during this time is beyond comprehension.

• 104. Cokisile  |  August 18th, 2008 at 12:17 pm

  Hi Garrett,

  There are times in life when you find yourself against the flow of life’s channel.From 1st September 2005 until now i had been moving against the greatest tide of life and time.If you know Job in the Bible I know the experience he had gone through having lost loved ones and lately coming across death thrice surviving car accidents.On 1st September 2007 broad daylight my Mazda Drifter was hit by an old car that ran away.Coming from work with my niece on 19th May 2008 the same car was hit by Toyota Bakkie.On 5th June whilst waiting for the Mazda Drifter to be completed the Polo Volkswagen I was lent by my sister was involved in a collission with Honda Ballade through negligent driving of another driver who was making a u-turn in an area not designated for that.I tried everything and managed to avoid colliding wth the 4×4 toyota bakkie but collided with the car that was on its right lane . I thanked God for saving the lives of people that were in the car but I am saddenned by the fact that the driver of the other car has broken a leg and has no income because he was relying on his car for survival.

  The Lord has sent a voice which said all will be accomplished through you, I will not give up on my Mission as long as I live.My plan is to build two churches in the area where all this happened in thanking God,they will cater as institutions which will allow people who believe in African Traditional religion know that we are also created by God.The second one where people who believe in Christianity may fully understand that there is truth in all Religions and wisdom can be acquired from others.This is the dream I had vowed to live for untill the last breath comes out of my body.I had served the South African citizenry by bringing dignity to those South Africans whose land has been dispossessed in the past by Colonial masters and later Nationalist Apartheid government.The vision i am given now is to make people realise that the universe is one and we have God’s image in each and everyone of us.

  Thanx a lot Garrett,may God almighty bless you.

• 105. Dolly R.  |  August 18th, 2008 at 12:28 pm

  12 step programs have been practicing this principle for a few decades now. The third step suggests that we turn our will and our lives over to the care of a power greater than ourselves. That does leave it open for many possibilities. Some people use the 12 step group at first; most just use the “GOD” word because it is a universal word we can all relate to. Some say “Great Spirit”
  some never get it at all. For those of us who do, ours is a life of surrender, recovery and possibilities. How generous of you to share your speach with us for free. I like the Anti-Will concept.
  Thanx.

• 106. Maryleen  |  August 18th, 2008 at 5:07 pm

  Hi Garret

  Your message arrived just now couldn’t believe it – at precisely the ‘RIGHT MOMENT’!!

  Why is that not surprising?

  I spent last summer reading your Great Book, cried, wept and related to everything you said

  Have thought of that so often this year as my summer has been a TOTAL DISASTER.

  It is almost like you heard me ‘railing and wailing’

  Now perhaps with your help I can pull the rest of the summer together.

  Many , many thanks,

  Maryleen

• 107. jane coleman  |  August 18th, 2008 at 5:37 pm

  Thank you Garret. your message has possibly saved my life certainly my sanity…lol Ive had my head in the clouds for too long and been abused for too long.

• 108. Amanda  |  August 20th, 2008 at 8:50 pm

  I was having a bad day in a bad week of doing things to keep other people happy, while making myself miserable., when this message arrived. I now understand it is no longer my job to be the one who only makes choices to keep the peace so that I know my place, or fit in, etc. Garret, your message could not have been better timed. The irony is, I know what my true will is! God has been telling me since I was 12 years old. I’m now 44, and only just begun actually heeding the call. Thirty-five years of conforming to false authorities have made me bipolar in the process, but I think adhering to my true will (along with other treatments) will take a lot of my symptoms away. Thank you Garret, we are blessed for having you and your well-timed, beautifully spoken insights.

• 109. RVT  |  September 4th, 2008 at 1:40 pm

  I have been holding on, and when the pressure started building, i still held on…

  And then this message came along, asking me not to give up. What beautiful timing. I love this phenomenon of synchronisation. Thank you.

  Life is beautiful…

• 110. Terence  |  September 7th, 2008 at 3:23 pm

  I have listened to this a few times and I found it very inspirational. I have also listened to the audio version of the DaVince method (I’m guessing I am predominantly a theater type).

  This audio clip has given me a focal point and that makes a difference. I know this is partly an advert for will therapy, but I’d still like to thank Garret for his contribution – he is a true hero.

  On a point of accuracy, according to the Christian religion, the anit-christ (which was likened to the ego) is not the devil (which was also likened to the ego). The anti-christ is a human figure prophesied about in the bible (book of Daniel and revelation). In fact the Christian religion is pretty clear about the trinity and Jesus christ being the son of man who came to earth in human form. This does not fit in with the inner-divine theory (humanism is a completely separate theology). That doesn’t mean that this point of view is wrong, it just means that it is separate from Christianity (as far as biblical teachings go).

  Having said that, I think saying that God’s will for your life is the will that is the truest for you, is a good way to look at it. I don’t subscribe to any particular religion, btw, but I have done baptismal studies for a protestant religion at one point so I have a basic idea of Christian tradition.

  Genius would be an understatement

• 112. Katrina  |  October 22nd, 2008 at 4:44 pm

  Right on time, Garrett. Right on time. The synchronicities are a constant confirmation of being in the flow. Its an effortless journey when we just surrender to our higher will. Thank you for your courage in being your true self!

• 113. VANESSA  |  November 25th, 2008 at 7:46 am

  The wellspring of the ADHD mind, that rare inner fire myself and other DaVincis’ encompass, is so powerful and unique yet also misunderstood.
  I am grateful I heard this message on true will.It often seems for people with the ADHD minset, we have the ability for greatness but have one obstacle after an other thrown in our path.
  I have The DaVinci Method and it is second only to the Bible.The majority of society, the other 90%, doesn’t perceive life within the same sensory explosion context as we do.I have found within my own life both blessings and burdens.
  Throughout my life, I have often wondered why I have had to witness some of the things I have.The burdens generally stem from differences in reasoning between the “normies” and people like myself.I do not like being told what to do,can be quite stubborn and possess an uncontainable aptitude for creativity.
  Your teachings continue to give hope to millions of people worldwide.You understand how it feels to be a member of 10% of the population when the other 90% is constantly ruffling our feathers in all areas of life.Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this great awakening.If I can be of any help to the DaVinci cause,please let me know.
  Blessings,
  Vanessa

  I’d love to hear discussion on Purpose.

  When I am at peace with my world and my Creator, the juices never cease to flow – I happily bounce from one project to another and am at my very best when it is done with Purpose.

  When I am not at peace with the world around me and have no Purpose, I feel out of control; can’t sleep, thought won’t come together… I’m a trainwreck.

  The bottom line is that when I feel my very best I am Fruitful. Perhaps (speaking only about myself) it’s not adhd but a lack of a meaningful, creative outlet at that moment in time. But that leads me to the question of “Do I really want to spend the rest of my life searching for that Next Thing to give me a sense of Purpose?”

  Garret,
  As a person whose short-term memory has irked hordes of people, thanks for sending me that blurb about lists. I share company with Einstein, eh? Not too bad! I also share migraines with George Gershwin, and I always say hey, if Gershwin can do what he did with migraines, well, so can I! Defiant? You bet. I don’t write music, but i have set out to be the best faux artist in the world. I’m not insane: I’m 48, and ten years ago, I was told I was one of the six most precise artists in the US aircraft industry. By someone who was in a position to know.

  A year back, I approached the people who were crafting Richard Branson’s commercial space shuttle, offering my services to enhane the interior. never heard a response, but I NEVER thought it was an irrational idea. Never, of course. Why wouldn’t they want me to work on this thing?
  I was laughed at by normies who think there is clearly a problem with me, but you know what? I have a poor memory, and I’m also deaf. Thank heaven for that. People with good hearing for that stuff never get anywhere.

  Now, I work on yachts, and sometimes in frustration, when a colleague produces work that shows he’s been paying more attention to the clock, I say: Hey, more perfect than this, you have to change planets. Stick with the program.

  i’m more diplomatic than that, but that’s the gist. i don’t like to waste my breath, but I believe people could do SO much with a littel more vision, a little more motivation, a little more active dreaming!

  Anyway, thanks for the message that convinced me there ISN’t anything wrong with me. Hell, I could have worried I had early dementia, or something!

  Instead, I have the moon in my head… and a list in hand.
  (By the way, my nickname in second grade (1968) was Anne in the moon)
