Overview of YOU University

People fall into 3 broad categories: those that loved their childhood, those that thought it was not too bad and those of us that had a really tough one. But what we almost all universally share is the fact that our families wanted us to be good, not get angry and get along with each other. So we generally learned unhealthy ways to get over feeling angry and some possible distortions of other feelings also. This course will help you get back in balance.

YOU University embodies and combines spiritual principles of forgiveness and love with practical emotional tools to achieve the results which allow you to leave the past behind.

Some of us had difficult and traumatic childhoods and we carry the results of those experiences into our lives as adults. We try many things to help us - therapy, anti-depressants and many other things. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they work partly and sometimes we just continue to suffer.

I am one of those people who was abused as a child - emotionally and sexually. I carried the results into my adulthood. I have been fortunate enough to have the right combination of experiences and talents to make great headway in healing myself. YOU University is one of the results of that healing. So are good relationships with my kids, a happy marriage - finally - and good feelings about myself most of the time.

The bigger picture of YOU University is that if you heal the past, you will be able to uncover the incorrect beliefs about yourself and life that you carry as a result of unheard and unprocessed feelings from the past. When you do both parts – the healing and the changing of false beliefs, you find you are a kind of vessel for inspiration and therefore can perform inspired action instead of the same old hamster wheel of behaviors which will keep creating pretty much the same life over and over. So you could say this is a journey of healing and awareness and if you keep using what you learn over your lifetime, you will continue to create more and more expanded awareness.

You will take this course if you want to learn how to be in charge of your life and feel good about it most of the time. When life throws you a curve, there is no need to crash.

Note: YOU University may be particularly valuable for those who believe they have had a dysfunctional childhood.

What is covered in each Building (Section):

Undergraduate Campus

Building One - Life Is a School Consider this first class your introduction to the program. In it, you will be presented with a basic attitude you will need to develop in order to proceed through this course and in order to change your life. It is an attitude called 'Life Is a School'. It is the attitude that will allow you to recognize and develop the Observer in you. The Observer simply is and observes – no judgment. You will also be taught a very simple writing exercise to use until the Life Is a School attitude becomes automatic for you. It also implies that you created everything in your life.

Building Two - Personal Curriculum You will learn my story and your coach will learn yours. That is our curriculum when we come here to Planet Earth and be who we are. It is what has made us who we are today. You will write it in a very simple way and work with it throughout the program to bring you the results you came for.

Building Three - Life Readiness You will learn the many qualities of yourself that you will want to uncover, discover and/or just plain pay attention to. The two most important qualities required for such an in-depth journey of self are: commitment and understanding what I mean by taking responsibility. You will also pick up a second tool to help you evaluate and take stock of your life quite simply so you accomplish all that you want to in this program and with the rest of your life – doing it both realistically and self-lovingly.

Graduate Campus

Building Four - Deeper Study You have written your story – Your Personal Curriculum in Building Two. In Building Four you will go back to your story and find the gifts and learning from the hard experiences that you have had. You will go back to your unique history to understand what else you can become conscious of from it. This is the first of several exercises to do so.

Building Five - Heal the Past Without the healing, there is a good chance that you will keep finding similar situations in your life to learn and grow from because you didn't "get it" the first or second or whatever time. It's not a punishment or karma or retribution, it just is that way. So in this class, you will learn a way to begin healing the past and acquire ease with the most valuable of tools to continue using throughout your life.

Building Six - To Give Love as Before The following quote says what this class is about perfectly: 'In the long run, it's not a question of whether they deserve to be forgiven. You're not forgiving them for their sake. You're doing it for yourself. For your own health and well-being, forgiveness is simply the most energy-efficient option. It frees you from the incredibly toxic, debilitating drain of holding a grudge. Don't let these people live rent free in your head. If they hurt you before, why let them keep doing it year after year in your mind? It's not worth it but it takes heart effort to stop it. You can muster that heart power to forgive them as a way of looking out for yourself. It's one thing you can be totally selfish about.' Doc Childre and Howard Martin

Building Seven - Mopping Up & Mending Fences I learned about making amends by joining a 12-Step program. The definition of "to make amends" is "to compensate someone for a grievance or injury". In this class that will be your task using a method learned and tweaked from the 12-Step programs. When one has been hurt, it is rare to go the further step and see your part but doing so will really clear your side of the road and you will be amazed at how that works.

Post-Graduate Campus

Building Eight - Friends In-Deed For the past 35 years I have had in my life like-minded and like-hearted friends, life coaches and significant others – those I like to call 'buddies'. The qualifications to get on that very special list are to be able to understand what I have written here in this program and also see value in the tools I use and perspectives I hold in my life. In this class, you will look at who your friends are, what you want from the most intimate of those and where it is healthiest for each person to be in your life.

Building Nine - My Cup Runneth Over Maximizing and taking seriously the use of gratitude as a tool has worked in three essential ways to transform my life: quick mood changer; increases vibrational and magnetic power; teaches what's good about what's hard. That's what this class is all about.

Building Ten - Change Negative Thought You'll notice that you enter this class only after you have learned how to express and heal your feelings. Once you have those emotional healing tools and learning integrated, you are ready to learn to transform your negative thought with no danger of performing a "spiritual bypass".

Building Eleven - Self-Worth, Emotional Quotient & Self Expression Access to and understanding of your full range of emotions is the key to self-knowledge and interaction with your world. The more aware you are of your emotions, the more you know what is going on in your thoughts – conscious and not conscious. The more you know your thoughts, the better able you are to create your life the way you want it to be.

Building Twelve - Putting It All Together The rest of your life - how does one put all the learning together? Ego selfishness is not an attribute of the Real You. Making yourself happy? Is it selfish in an "I am my own hobby" way? Yes. And it is the only thing that works.

Commencement - Scenarios from Life. You are given the opportunity to use what you learn in real situations (with the names changed) and see how the new and Real You would suggest handling them. A fun way to help cement your learning.
