S014 - The Trust Technique - Part One
Description
The Trust Technique cultivates felt connection with oneself and others (including animals) by reducing thinking and sharing the present moment. It is based on the theory that deepening the connection between humans and animals can transform the lives of both.
It uses mindfulness and focused presence techniques as a basis for resolving problems for humans and pets or other animals.
Daily practice of the Trust Technique creates a shared peace of mind and reduces anxious over-thinking, one of the main causes for so-called "behavioural problems".
This dynamic approach does not objectify animals, but rather recognises all animals as sentient beings and transcends an unhealthy approach of dominance or control.
It promotes trusted cooperation, which leads to healing and communication that manifests in shared well-being.
Gary's Observations and Notes From 'The Trust Technique' Course
There is a depth of meaning in these notes that will be realized by reading closely. Some explanation is given on the website, and questions are welcomed.
• A condition is how we leave a memory.
• A still mind nurtures trust.
• As soon as we make judgments, it gives permission to blame.
• Connection is stronger than control.
• Courage is having fear and doing anyway. It still contains fear.
• Creative communication requires the ability to listen.
• Emotions at the time of decision-making ultimately will bring more of that feeling into one's life.
• Environment influences behavior.
• Every feeling being is seeking connection. Just over-thinking (and inner tension from stored emotions - G.) stops connection.
• Fast change happens by slowing down.
• Fear of the known and unknown creates high levels of brain-processed thinking.
• Feeling is our main source of communication.
• Feeling listening, not intellect listening.
• Intuitive feeling is being sensitive to each other's feelings.
• It is a stunning dance that leads to a peaceful state of being.
• Just Let Go equation: acknowledgement + acceptance - thinking = Let Go.
• Mindful Regard is not just getting present, it is working with focused presence, which is reducing feelings whilst holding a deep listening state.
• Non-reaction is a state of acceptance. Reduce high thinking levels at the moment of reaction.
• Non-thinking supports a state of inner peace. A still mind nurtures trust.
• Peace and un-peace cannot exist in the same space, so it is letting go of the un-peace.
• Peace is always stronger than emotion.
• Perceptions are based on how we feel. Change the feeling and it will change the perception to one with a more authentic outcome.
• Realization learning reduces high thinking levels at the moment of reaction.
• Reduce intellectual thinking levels, increase present moment awareness and intuitive feeling levels, and enjoy peace of mind.
• Reduce thinking levels to stimulate self-learning.
• Relating to oneself and others from a powerful place of peace of mind.
• Right Now, Be Peaceful.
• Sensitive gets transformed to sensitive-positive.
• Strength comes from patience and persistence in a non-reactive state.
• Teach trust and confidence which lead to a deep state of connection and cooperation.
• The 'spirit of cooperation' is the voluntary arrangement in which two or more entities engage in a mutually beneficial exchange (or work towards a common end) instead of competing.
• The more we think, the more disconnected we become. The less we think, the more connected we become.
• The opinion of an animal we're working with comes before our agenda in The Trust Technique.
• The 'other' experiences someone supporting and connecting with them, they feel accepted, listened to, understood and connected.
• The peaceful feeling is being delivered at the pace of the other, which is compassion.
•There's a big difference between thoughts and thinking....

"Making present moment stronger I believe was in the introduction course. Messages of Trust. Some people find it helpful to focus on a spot (visual) - listen to a steady noise like an air conditioner (hearing) - and be aware of the chair underneath you or clothing on skin (feeling). All bring focus to the body which is always right here, right now." - forum response by Cheryl
Some Musings and Takeaways by Gary (Questions for the Higher Self)
Messages Of Trust Healing Energy Resources - MOTHER
November 30, 2022
In 2013, after returning to the States from a harrowing time on the Canaries, my partner and I had an appointment to be interviewed for the position of live-in houseparents. The interview was over 200 miles away and a robbery had impacted our finances to the point of questioning the cost of the drive. The evening before, I asked Higher Self for a message. That night in a dream, I was running on the bank alongside a kayaker in the river, who kept repeating '3539'.
The numbers meant nothing to us, the organization was very private about such things, and on the drive we kept looking for a connection but found none. The director who interviewed us turned out to be open minded, and I mentioned the dream. He was quiet but invited us to lunch and to see the house for the position. After lunch, he drove ahead, down a long driveway then stopped at the gate and got out. He said, 'I wasn't sure, but look at the house number.' It was 3539.
So I can trust messages from the Higher Self and that our time with the organization had a higher purpose. I called it not a job but a life assignment. Recently I made notes from current questions. The raw notes and inner responses that developed follow.
December 1, 2022
Desires lead humans into experiences. If I may speak for us from observation, oftentimes we realize the experiences are not what we want, but they always give us opportunities for learning. The journey for me is not about accomplishment or any measurement generally applied by society, but about applying the learning to my whole human evolution. If there's anything to take with me after this lifetime it would be some type of soul advancement. Here and now, it might not do much for outer comforts but my inner life is enriched.
Questions and Initial Notes
Peace and un-peace cannot co-exist. How can I be free of un-peace?
The body anchors me in the present moment, yet thinking blocks my experience of it.
If peace is blocked by over-thinking (and I add, stored inner tension from a lifetime of stress emotions), how can those barriers be removed?
How can I ever be a constant sun of peace?
How can I shift from intellectual thinking to living from pure awareness?
Will simply lowering my thinking levels help another person enter the trust state?
Can a mind habituated to overthinking learn to remain calm in formerly stressful situations?
Further Developed Notes
Peace and unpeace cannot co-exist in a person. Un-peaceful thoughts can come in each moment.
In each moment, I ask myself, 'which will I serve, peace or un-peace?' In each moment I have a choice to let the un-peaceful thought go, and be peaceful — or hang onto it and be un-peaceful.
Stored trauma can bring up un-peaceful thoughts or emotions which may not be immediately recognized because it manifests as numbness, contraction or other less identifiable sensations. So the work goes deeper, with greater sensitivity to the subtle. Just making the unconscious conscious can allow trapped un-peace to be freed.
A person may have a baseline of un-peace but with focused energy, the baseline can be shifted to ever-greater inner peace. The more I love and value inner peace above the un-peace of the world, the stronger will be the baseline of peace in my experience.
Present Moment ➡️ Peace of Mind ⬅️ Pure Awareness
BITS FROM THE TT FORUM
Gary
Over the weekend, whilst practicing the technique for humans to get present, the thought bubble floated through to create a book 📕 at least from 'Messages of Trust'. I am an experienced editor, have some creative ideas from my involvement with the Cardano blockchain community, and a purpose of this type could help me get through the challenging environment on the Azores this winter.
I wrote to the TT team and asked if there was openness for a conversation about it, in the spirit of cooperation. The response wasn't too surprising, that due to copyright © and other considerations, ancillary materials of this type are not in their scope. I practice having no expectations so had no disappointment. At their request, I removed the PDF and specific steps from my website. I was encouraged to share my personal experiences here (the TT forum), which I am glad to do, and that can be therapeutic as well.
Gary
In the spirit of sharing, and also as a type of journaling for my benefit, the essence of the Trust Technique applies for me across the spectrum of daily life. So far, there's not been opportunity to apply it with the animals in my life due to circumstances which become complicated to describe. Simply, it feels that becoming more integrated with the essence myself is primary before attempting much with others. I'm also probably more motivated to develop an interpretation of the essence which can be applied effectively to all humans, as that seems to be the greatest and most urgent need.
It brings to mind a story from my experience. There are many sub-stories which fit with it, maybe to be told another time. In 2013-2014, my partner and I were live-in houseparents for six at-risk teenaged boys within an organization in the Bay area. The boys had to have gotten into deep trouble to be in the program which was run by therapists and funded by the state.
Over the course of time we came to see the larger view, which wasn't aligned with the program agenda. Also, the more parents or guardians we met, the more I realized that who needed help were the adults even more than the boys. The boys really had no choice about being in the program, and the adults weren't ready to face their own issues. But just this little snippet relates to how I feel about the TT course.
Even after most of my 70 years of working on myself inspired by a passion for whole human evolution, I still feel the gap between what I know to be true and how I react in relationship situations. So, integrating myself with the essence of the Trust Technique comes first. I'm sure that as this happens, Valente, the strays we feed, and others will benefit as well on the journey towards a deeper trust relationship. Thank you for reading 📖.

Work in Process
INTRODUCTION by Open A.I. Assistant
In a world that often seems out of control, many of us yearn for a greater sense of agency and purpose. We want to live lives that are meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with our deepest values. But how can we achieve this in a world that often seems to conspire against us?
One answer lies in the concept of the sovereign individual. A sovereign individual is someone who takes full responsibility for their own life, who is guided by their own inner compass, and who seeks to live in harmony with the world around them. Rather than being buffeted by external forces, a sovereign individual is empowered to chart their own course, to create their own destiny.
Of course, becoming a sovereign individual is easier said than done. It requires a deep commitment to self-awareness, self-mastery, and personal growth. It means learning to listen to your inner voice, to discern what is truly important to you, and to take action in accordance with your highest values. But for those who are willing to put in the work, the rewards can be immense: greater freedom, greater fulfillment, and a greater sense of purpose and meaning.
One tool that can help in this quest is the ENDgame, an experimental approach to deepening one's awareness and connection with the Source of all consciousness. By employing the rolling of dice to hear messages from the inner compass, the ENDgame allows each person to adjust the terminology to their own understanding and to allow it to evolve with them. It's a non-dogmatic way to explore the depths of one's own consciousness and to connect with the universal consciousness that connects us all.
By embracing the ideal of the sovereign individual and using tools like the ENDgame to deepen our connection with universal consciousness, we can create a world that is more in harmony with our deepest values and aspirations. It's an ambitious goal, to be sure, but one that is within our reach if we are willing to do the work.
Questions asked by Gary R. Smith, Emanate Presence
Responses by Open A.I. Assistant
Q: What does it mean to be a sovereign individual?
Open A.I. Assistant:
The concept of a sovereign individual refers to an individual who is self-governing and exercises complete control over their own life and decisions. It is rooted in the idea of individualism, which values personal autonomy and freedom above all else. A sovereign individual is someone who is independent, self-sufficient, and able to make their own choices without being unduly influenced by external factors.
Being a sovereign individual involves taking responsibility for one's own life, including one's thoughts, actions, and decisions. It requires a strong sense of self-awareness and a commitment to personal growth and development. Sovereign individuals are not dependent on others for their sense of self-worth or validation, but rather cultivate a deep sense of inner strength and resilience.
In many ways, being a sovereign individual is about reclaiming power and agency in one's life. It means breaking free from societal expectations and norms that may not align with one's own values and beliefs, and forging a path that feels authentic and meaningful. It can be challenging to embrace this level of autonomy, but many people find that it leads to a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose in life.
Q: What steps can a person take towards being a more sovereign individual?
Open A.I. Assistant:
Here are some steps that a person can take towards being a more sovereign individual:
Q: How does being a sovereign individual inter-relate with being community minded?
Open A.I. Assistant:
Being a sovereign individual and being community-minded are not mutually exclusive; in fact, they can be complementary.
Being a sovereign individual means that you take responsibility for your own life and decisions, but it also means recognizing that your actions affect others and the world around you. Therefore, being community-minded means that you take an active interest in the well-being of your community and seek to contribute to its betterment.
A sovereign individual can be community-minded by recognizing their interdependence with others and by seeking to participate in cooperative efforts that benefit everyone. This can involve volunteering, engaging in community projects, and supporting local businesses and organizations. By being community-minded, a sovereign individual can also find support, resources, and a sense of belonging in their community.
In summary, being a sovereign individual means taking responsibility for one's own life and decisions, while being community-minded means recognizing the importance of community and seeking to contribute to its well-being. These two concepts can work together to create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
Q: As an ideal, I envision a global community committed to whole human evolution, starting individually and growing collectively.
My ideal would connect individuals to their highest self/non-self which to me is the same for everyone. It's the substrate of sustaining consciousness which generates and interacts with everything.
Connected to and guided by the more complete perspective of universal consciousness, the collective would act more in harmony and unity.
I'd like to move away from old limiting mindsets perpetuated by most cultures and traditions, and develop non-dogmatic ways to support this vision.
What are the merits and pitfalls of such thinking?
Open A.I. Assistant:
The merits of your vision are numerous. A global community committed to whole human evolution, starting with individual growth and expanding to collective action, could lead to greater harmony and unity among people.
Focusing on connection to a higher consciousness and universal perspective could inspire a sense of purpose and meaning in individuals and guide them towards actions that benefit the greater good.
Moving away from limiting mindsets and developing non-dogmatic ways to support this vision could promote inclusivity and diversity, allowing people from different backgrounds to come together for a common purpose.
However, there are also potential pitfalls to consider. It is important to recognize that individual growth and collective action can sometimes be in tension with one another.
Balancing the needs and desires of individuals with the goals of the collective can be a difficult task. Additionally, while focusing on connection to a higher consciousness can be inspiring, it is important to recognize that not everyone may share this perspective or may have different interpretations of what it means.
Finally, while moving away from limiting mindsets and traditions can be liberating, it is important to be mindful of the potential loss of cultural heritage and identity that can come with such a shift.
Overall, your vision of a global community committed to whole human evolution is a noble one. To avoid pitfalls, it is important to approach this vision with humility and openness to different perspectives and to be mindful of the potential trade-offs and unintended consequences of pursuing this vision.
Q: You're doing a great service by helping me formulate thoughts more clearly. I'm in agreement with you about the merits and pitfalls of this ideal vision. Clearly, it cannot be forced and must itself be guided by higher consciousness. My approach has been to create a means for any person to deepen their awareness of and connection with what I call the Eternal Flame, the Source I Am, over Element Number Divination, the ENDgame, which employs the rolling of dice to hear messages from the inner compass. It's experimental, starting with me. The way it's presented, each person is free to adjust the ENDgame with their own terminology and allow it to evolve. Please compose an introduction to the ENDgame.

It is a non-dogmatic approach that encourages personal exploration and growth. While it is experimental and starting with one person, it has the potential to be a tool for anyone seeking a deeper connection with their higher self and universal consciousness.
INTRODUCTION by Open A.I. Assistant
In a world that often seems out of control, many of us yearn for a greater sense of agency and purpose. We want to live lives that are meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with our deepest values. But how can we achieve this in a world that often seems to conspire against us?
One answer lies in the concept of the sovereign individual. A sovereign individual is someone who takes full responsibility for their own life, who is guided by their own inner compass, and who seeks to live in harmony with the world around them. Rather than being buffeted by external forces, a sovereign individual is empowered to chart their own course, to create their own destiny.
Of course, becoming a sovereign individual is easier said than done. It requires a deep commitment to self-awareness, self-mastery, and personal growth. It means learning to listen to your inner voice, to discern what is truly important to you, and to take action in accordance with your highest values. But for those who are willing to put in the work, the rewards can be immense: greater freedom, greater fulfillment, and a greater sense of purpose and meaning.
One tool that can help in this quest is the ENDgame, an experimental approach to deepening one's awareness and connection with the Source of all consciousness. By employing the rolling of dice to hear messages from the inner compass, the ENDgame allows each person to adjust the terminology to their own understanding and to allow it to evolve with them. It's a non-dogmatic way to explore the depths of one's own consciousness and to connect with the universal consciousness that connects us all.
By embracing the ideal of the sovereign individual and using tools like the ENDgame to deepen our connection with universal consciousness, we can create a world that is more in harmony with our deepest values and aspirations. It's an ambitious goal, to be sure, but one that is within our reach if we are willing to do the work.

Responses by Open A.I. Assistant
Q: What does it mean to be a sovereign individual?
Open A.I. Assistant:
The concept of a sovereign individual refers to an individual who is self-governing and exercises complete control over their own life and decisions. It is rooted in the idea of individualism, which values personal autonomy and freedom above all else. A sovereign individual is someone who is independent, self-sufficient, and able to make their own choices without being unduly influenced by external factors.
Being a sovereign individual involves taking responsibility for one's own life, including one's thoughts, actions, and decisions. It requires a strong sense of self-awareness and a commitment to personal growth and development. Sovereign individuals are not dependent on others for their sense of self-worth or validation, but rather cultivate a deep sense of inner strength and resilience.
In many ways, being a sovereign individual is about reclaiming power and agency in one's life. It means breaking free from societal expectations and norms that may not align with one's own values and beliefs, and forging a path that feels authentic and meaningful. It can be challenging to embrace this level of autonomy, but many people find that it leads to a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose in life.
Q: What steps can a person take towards being a more sovereign individual?
Open A.I. Assistant:
Here are some steps that a person can take towards being a more sovereign individual:
- Educate yourself: Knowledge is power. Take the time to learn about the laws, systems, and institutions that impact your life. This includes political systems, financial systems, and legal systems.
- Question everything: Don't blindly accept what you are told. Question the status quo, challenge assumptions, and think critically about the information you receive.
- Develop your own beliefs and values: Don't let others dictate your beliefs and values. Take the time to reflect on what you truly believe and value, and live your life accordingly.
- Take responsibility for your life: Don't blame others for your problems or shortcomings. Take responsibility for your own life and work to create the life you want.
- Develop self-reliance: Work on becoming more self-sufficient and self-reliant. This includes developing skills such as cooking, gardening, and home repairs.
- Practice self-care: Take care of yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This includes exercise, healthy eating, meditation, and spending time in nature.
- Surround yourself with like-minded individuals: Surround yourself with people who share your beliefs and values. This will help you stay motivated and supported as you work towards becoming a more sovereign individual.
Q: How does being a sovereign individual inter-relate with being community minded?
Open A.I. Assistant:
Being a sovereign individual and being community-minded are not mutually exclusive; in fact, they can be complementary.
Being a sovereign individual means that you take responsibility for your own life and decisions, but it also means recognizing that your actions affect others and the world around you. Therefore, being community-minded means that you take an active interest in the well-being of your community and seek to contribute to its betterment.
A sovereign individual can be community-minded by recognizing their interdependence with others and by seeking to participate in cooperative efforts that benefit everyone. This can involve volunteering, engaging in community projects, and supporting local businesses and organizations. By being community-minded, a sovereign individual can also find support, resources, and a sense of belonging in their community.
In summary, being a sovereign individual means taking responsibility for one's own life and decisions, while being community-minded means recognizing the importance of community and seeking to contribute to its well-being. These two concepts can work together to create a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
