The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 1Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question and Answer Teleconference. My name is Tom Costello and on behalf of Dr. Alex Loyd Services, LLC and The Healing Codes family I welcome you to the call. Tonight in the Western hemisphere it is September 4, 2008 and everything on the call is being recorded. The recording is available as a download from our website.

Tonight I’m going to do the disclaimer right off the bat and that is The Healing Codes is not intended to diagnose or treat any physical or mental conditions or their symptoms. The Healing Codes deal with issues of the heart and it is on those spiritual issues that we focus our attention. Additionally the opinions I express are my own opinions. If they serve you that’s great. If they don’t just let them go flying by as just so much noise.

Let’s get started right into this. As we go along if there is any kind of silence I certainly know how to fill silence and we’ll do that.

Just for people who have arrived after the last time I said it, *6 will un-mute and mute the telephone. Feel free to jump into the cue. Eileen, you indicated interest, so why don’t you be the first kid on the block?

Participant: (Eileen) We talked a little bit and I just kept something to wait, but the first week – I can’t remember what the first week was because now it’s been healed, but last week it was seeking peace. I was so anxious. Where before I had severe anxiety – I’d wake up and be anxious until one. It had reverted to worrying which, to me, is different in that it was better to just be worrying and not have an anxiety attack.

This whole week was real interesting. I kept doing the Code, kept doing the Code, and one of the things that is hard to remember until after it passes is there are times when the healing response – I don’t realize that’s what’s happening, but I’m just miserable until the shift happens. So I’m getting used to that. I’m saying, “here we go again. Let’s see what’s going to happen this week, what’s going to flush out.” I feel really, like 80% better. Today was probably the best day of work I’ve ever had. Basically what happened over the week was I finally heard on a heart level, instead of stressing or worrying, asked God how to deal with it at the time. That’s what my faith is. And He’ll tell me what to do. Sometimes he’ll say “Don’t do anything right now.” Other times He’ll tell me a piece of it. I never thought to ask help right at that crisis, or if I asked for it I didn’t do it because I didn’t have faith it would work. At least on a heart level, now hearing day to day and moment to moment, if I start to panic, I stop and pray and ask what I need to know to have peace.

I think now it’s pretty much the weight loss, to have faith. I’ve been working at weight loss really hard for 14 years and have gained 80 pounds. I’m laughing because it’s so sad. I’m thinking, “I have to keep trying to have faith that this actually will happen.” I feel much better. It’s almost like we’re still at the things that have never changed visually. Everything I started to try to do 14 years ago still hasn’t happened – the weight

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 2Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

loss still hasn’t happened. You know what I mean? Changing from the inside out is hard because it doesn’t look like on the outside anything has happened.

One of my questions was I kept remembering you’d say the Q Codes. I didn’t get them yet because I’m trying to overcome the thinking I need any self-help out there, forgetting that I have a source within me, God’s power, the Holy Spirit, whatever. I’m not sure. I keep hearing Truth Codes and Q Codes, but I don’t have the budget for that. I guess I’m feeling like I do The Healing Codes so much, all day long, I feel like I’m spending a lot of time and it’s becoming burdensome. I’m wondering if Q Codes are a shorter thing to do or do you have to do them on top of all of The Healing Codes I’m doing?

Tom Costello: No, it’s a shorter amount of time. It reduces the amount of time you would actually be doing it.

Participant: That interests me. It’s not that I’m not about hard work, but it’s starting to become burdensome how many times I feel like I’m doing The Healing Codes.

Tom Costello: I’d like to make a couple of comments about stuff that you just said, Eileen, that, to me, are very important. First of all, I think that the ultimate tool that all of us have is our connection to our Creator. That’s better than The Healing Codes. It’s better than peanut butter. It’s better than sex, drugs and rock & roll. It’s the best! That connection to our Creator is what we’re all looking for. My belief system says that’s where I came from and that’s where I’m going. While I’m in physical form I’m trying to achieve some level of unity with that energy too. So that Christ Consciousness, that God within, that’s what I’m seeking to make a reality for me; moment by moment, day by day, to know it and to show it. To me that’s hugely important.

An off-shoot of that is the idea that “I’ve got to do everything by myself.” No, we don’t. So you said, “I’m right in the middle of a task or challenge or whatever, and – let me turn to my partner – How are we going to handle this? What do I need to know? What approach is the highest vibration” or however you would express it. That technique, that habit, that activity is fantastic. I think that’s fantastic.

I had a client about a week or so ago who was saying, “A lot of good things are coming into my life. It’s just really unfolding very, very quickly.” Suddenly he discovered a hole in the roof of his rental house when it started to rain. He said aloud, “What are we going to do about this now?” He turned, looked out the window and saw that there was a roofing company at the next-door neighbor. He waked over, had a conversation. When the guy got done with the job he came over, fixed the roof, got it all handled in a matter of minutes. He thought, asking that question, “What are we going to do about this now?” The answer was there. His head turned and boom, that was the answer.

I think we have that ability to tune into that if we can quiet ourselves, ask the question and listen for the answer, or look for the answer, or feel the answer. Thank you for bringing that up.

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 3Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

Participant: It was something how, it’s kind of sad how it’s taken over 14 years to understand that, but I was really brainwashed opposite of that in my upbringing. You know, it took a long time to de-program me.

Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age on a previous call, but when you have a conversation like this with a person who is 80 years old, it’s like, “Better at 80 than at 90.” That’s right.

Participant: If being alive until 100 means what I’ve been through I don’t want to do it. That was a really big thing to realize I’m just tired. That’s kind of where we came with seeking peace and the other caller talked about transcending the bad and seeing what you can make good out of it. You had talked about the MADD lady with drunk driving. Another woman called in and said if we’re the people that have been chosen to pray whenever we’re called to that’s a big job. All of that was super helpful.

This week was really powerful. I kept hearing you. One of the last things you said was “Every decision you make is perfect.” I have had (I’ll use past tense), I’ve had a lot of self-doubt about decisions. I keep trying to say, I’m going to make this decision. I still will have some panic, but I’m trying to realize that as I keep doing that the panic will go away. It’s a habit that needs to stop. As I confirm a decision it will get stronger and stronger.

I’m not really sure where I need help other than I think I’m on the edge of where – I’ve always wanted a salon in my home. I’m a cosmetologist. Long story but I’m actually teaching right now. I still like the teaching but I can’t seem to get the hair thing to go away. My husband and I had finally figured out a way to do it by building a garage. I’ve had a couple of businesses that I was lead to have for a while and then close. Those were steps of faith. I kind of just said, “God, if this is what I’m supposed to do I’m going to take these steps. If the door is open, great. If not, that’s okay too.” I think I started to panic about all the negative clients I had in the last 20 years. I stopped myself. I thought of “The Secret” where by quantum physics you’re going to draw to yourself what you think about. I said I’m going to think of every empowering client, that I can help them and they can help me – every positive thinking one, draw them to me.

Now I don’t know if I’m going to open the salon. We’re in the steps to see if it can be zoned and all that kind of stuff. That’s just an example of anyone who might have something, a decision ahead of them that you can think negative or you can think positive. I’m not sure what kind of a Code that is. I don’t know if it’s faith or trust. I know the weight issue is a love issue based on the journal, or on the manual.

Tom Costello: I think the weight and all of this stuff can hinge on safety. I keep seeing safety come up with clients and myself. It’s huge. It’s a huge factor. I think I talked about that last week. The tendency for people, I refer to the ACE study several weeks ago, Adverse Childhood Experiences, was developed as a result of people being successful at losing weight and then dropping out of the program because it frightened them. It made them feel unsafe. It made them feel vulnerable. The woman felt attractive

Page 4: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 4Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

and the two guards that worked in a penitentiary felt smaller and therefore maybe not as intimidating to prisoners and consequently vulnerable. They couldn’t stand those feelings of fear. All three of them had adverse childhood experiences that planted the seeds of that vulnerability, that un-safety.

So if we know we’re going to be unsafe we add protection. It’s just a physiological fact. It’s going to happen no matter what our heads say, no matter what our lips say. Putting on, getting ready for a famine is a standard process in those circumstances. So from a weight standpoint this idea that you are safe, there’s no need to store energy, right? I would say that’s a biggie.

Participant: With that I’ve got to say another thing that I added. My whole path was always “run through time”. I was a through time person. I was always trying to get out of the situation I was in. I was always saying, “When this happens everything will be okay.” It was just on every level possible. I’d been working on aspects of it, the 12 steps, living one day at a time. I knew that in theory but couldn’t get my body to get it. About a month ago I got a cold. I haven’t been sick for a long time. So I started doing Patience. It’s absolutely wonderful what happened. It was not fun to go through. He kept trying to make me stay within the parameters of the abuse situation and then I would start to feel there was peace even though that had happened. Then I started to see a perimeter, like a cushion around the memory within those parameters. Then I started to hear God’s voice within the parameter. Basically he was showing me I actually can sit within any moment and not have to escape out of it.

With that concept I get it on those abuse levels, but I’m still catching myself saying, “Well, if you owned a salon, can you see yourself doing that for 20 years?” It’s like I can’t just be there doing that. I’m always so proactive trying to protect myself, I need to find out how to just be in today and be at peace and not worry about the future. But that’s not what my brain is doing right now.

Tom Costello: Sometimes when people speak to me about time being a real issue for them I ask them about their birth.

Participant: I didn’t want to be born. I fought it. I’ve worked on all this. I fought it. I was mad at God. I knew what I was being born into. I could sense it in the womb. I had pictures like my hands are all up inside, not letting myself come out. Through the therapy I had, God is a gentleman. He asked me if I would consider please being born. He knows I was being born into pain, but that there would be a good thing that would come out of it and would I just trust him and ride that negative thing through? That he would be there, etc. We worked the whole thing so that when I was born he was excited and happy to see me and there was light all around. I tried to rework it all.

At least I’ve reworked it, but I know I didn’t want to be born. I know my mom didn’t want me. She’s admitted she didn’t want me. She didn’t touch me because she didn’t want me. She’s admitted that to me. My joke is always, “I’m a ‘failure to thrive’ who

Page 5: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 5Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

overachieved so she looks normal.” Does that make sense? I’m laughing about it but it was painful to work through it all.

Tom Costello: We do all kinds of things when we have that sense of abandonment.

From a business standpoint, let me just insert this in parentheses. When you start a business, you start with the ultimate consumer in mind. The ultimate consumer in mind people is the person who is going to buy your business from you. So if you’re starting any kind of business ultimately you’re going to want to sell that business to somebody. Between the starting and the selling the business to somebody you want to sell a lot of services or product to other people in order to make their lives better. Ultimately you want to walk away from your business, hand over the key and walk away with a nice, big certified check. Now you go, at 10 years if you don’t want to play any more, you could sell the business because you’re prepared for that.

What I like to do is refresh your memory about your conversation with God and when he was telling you about the good that’s going to be there. Hmmm…. That’s kind of like taking somebody on a shopping trip or giving them a gift where there’s a box within and box within a box and so on. Ultimately there is a fantastic gift. So if you’ve had a conversation like that in which there is a promise of good, you go, “Okay, I think I got my job. My job is to find evidence of that good.” Now, when you put on glasses, if you will, tomorrow morning as you sit down for a cup of tea, a cup of coffee or a glass of orange juice and toast or whatever. “Is this the good?” Well, it’s good. But I think this is not the good that God was referring to. So let me keep looking. Later in the morning, “Is this the good?” There’s more and more and more and more and more and more you, I think, will ultimately arrive at after about 100 years, it was all of this good. It wasn’t that it was a single event or a single item. It was going to be this whole sequence of good when I got into that stream that carried me to this. When I started looking for evidence of it, it was as if I got into a canoe and got swept away in this. It was good and it was good and it was good and it was good and it got increasingly better and better. I got it!

I’m going to start on this. Looking for the evidence of that good in everything that I do. Yep, I’m in the stream. Yep. And off you go.

Participant: But that can be a problem. Let me say it this way. I know – I think that’s what I heard, but I don’t know if I made that up because that was how and what I knew of God at the time. An example was I did have a false belief that if I prayed and sought God, etc, it would ultimately work out the way I thought. An example would be I wanted this job at a school where I could be on the kids’ schedule and teach cosmetology. I tried so many times and kept missing this job in such an odd way. I’m qualified. It was just the weirdest thing. I said to someone, “Wow, if I ever felt the door shut in my face that is it. I’ve got to let this go. It is not supposed to be mine.” But before I had that lesson I stopped because I thought, “God, you said I’d get a pony if I did this.” That’s an analogy. “And I’m not getting my pony.” The lesson I learned on that was – I don’t know if this is right or not. But God doesn’t necessarily promise a pony. He promises he’ll be there with you through everything you go through. It’s not necessarily promised

Page 6: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 6Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

that it’s going to be a pony. There are natural disasters. There is death. There are all sorts of things that happen that are negative. So if I’m always seeking good, or the evidence of my prize subconsciously, then I’m not finding it. Then I’m at a disconnect. I think we called that conscious conflict last week?

Tom Costello: Perhaps we did.

Participant: I don’t know if I’m having some kind of a weird double-bind or something going on there that may be goofing me up.

Tom Costello: Let me offer you my point of view. You guys can play with this and if it works for you, great. If it doesn’t just discard it. Here it is. “It is all good.” Period. It is all good.

Whew! Now the question becomes when you start to evaluate, and I go back to the experience of the woman who started “Mothers Against Drunk Driving”. Somebody could say that was an amazing gift by her daughter and the mother translated it into an enormous amount of good. That was good. There are worst things than death. There are worse things than death. Physically we’ve got cells dying even during this call by the millions. It’s no big deal. We have new ones. When we get tired and don’t invest in living, invest in and offer excitement and high-vibration energy to the things in our lives, our bodies start to become under powered. At that point they’re going to die.

Okay, that’s the physical. That’s like getting a new vehicle, in my opinion. The vehicle is one thing. I’m not the vehicle. You’re not the vehicle. When I talk to people I suggest I’m talking to two people. I’m talking to the physical person holding the telephone and I’m talking to the spiritual being as well.

Scientists will say that physical being is changing every 4-7 years. All those cells are being renewed and dying and new ones coming. That person has changed many times over the course of a life. If the vehicle is getting changed every 4-7 years, the spirit and those memories stay because they get passed on. They stick. We’re healing some of those memories.

I like this idea, first of all that “it is all good” and good is pretty close to God for me. So it’s no different. When we look at tragedies there are opportunities in there for people to really show their true spiritual selves through charity and love and compassion and support and so on. So we rise to the occasion.

In terms of the conversation that you had, did you make it up?

Participant: I don’t know.

Tom Costello: I’ve got news for you. We’re making all of this up. If you look at a hair do, when somebody comes in and says “I want a hairdo that looks like this person”, you make it up. You say, “Hold on, I can create that on top of your head.” You do that. We

Page 7: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 7Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

get dressed during the day. We make it up. We put on this pair of slacks or shirt or whatever. We’re deciding to do this. We’re creating this identity. We’re making it up.

And if you dig deep into that, what would you suggest our Creator promises or holds out to us, a life of suffering and deprivation and bumping into walls or is that our doing? Does our Creator hold out all kinds of opportunity for love and beauty and fantastic experiences and the heights of joy and knowingness and increasing awareness and creativity and on and on? I choose plan B.

I would say that sounds like a great conversation.

I had a client recently who said, “I had the most vivid dream. I never dream. In it was Jesus saying, ‘You are going to be healed.’ But I don’t dream.” He was, is experiencing cancer. He said, “I wonder do you think it’s possible?”

I say, man, I’d accept that as true. I don’t need that certified by anybody. I say that’s it. I heard you, Jesus. I’m counting on you. Now, feel what that feels like to have had that conversation. Every cell of your body will go “Thank you for accepting that conversation, that vibration and all the ripples from that.”

Participant: When we’re talking about positive quantum physics and all that kind of thinking and you believe that vision that person had about healing then all your cells are going to wake up and follow that path of healing. What part is – I don’t know what the term is – sometimes I’ve heard people can make a mistake and they find a lump in their breast and they’re going to pray it away. They’re not going to go to a doctor. You sometimes see it in the news. Then someone will be sued or something will happen because it was neglect and they should have gone to the doctor.

When do you know you should “Healing Codes” it and or – for instance I may be entering menopause. Someone suggested – I have a doctor’s appointment in three weeks. Progesterone cream might balance things out, or am I supposed to keep doing The Healing Codes? Am I cheating or not—It’s funny to ask the question, but am I supposed to be trying to do this all with The Healing Codes and my mind or is there times when the medicine or homeopathy is what you’re supposed to do?

Tom Costello: Well, first of all, I question the “supposed to” part. Let me just back up and say that the client I just referred to is a medical doctor. He knows what the medical treatment of his condition is. He’s thinking, “Uh-uh, I’m not doing that.” Another doctor referred him to me. He’s applying this approach. It’s not The Healing Codes approach, even though we’re doing The Healing Codes. It is healing root cause approach. It’s not cutting, burning and poisoning his body. He’s healing the root cause approach. To me that’s always a good approach.

Sometimes if the house is on fire you’re going to want to use water. That’s an individual decision. You’re supposed to do whatever you say you’re supposed to do. I don’t think that belongs to anybody else. It certainly doesn’t belong to me. So you can make that

Page 8: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 8Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

determination. This is how I want to approach this. But, I say to people, “if you’re going to try to get rid of a condition and that’s what your emphasis is on, ‘I’ve got to get rid of it!’ You’ve got a problem because you are feeding the weeds. What you really want to do is create a new condition. By feeding this new condition, this new business, this thing that you want to come into your experience, whatever else you were feeding before (‘the weeds’) will shift because it’s not getting the energy.” An individual needs to make a decision for themselves about their belief system. If a person can’t tune into faith and the unseen world, that’s true of most people and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, then you gotta do what you gotta do.

Using poisons to create health, though, to me is “Huh?” I personally have trouble with that.

Participant: You’re saying feed a new thing versus the old like the man with the cancer. Instead of saying “I’m trying to get rid of this cancer” which was focusing all that energy on the cancer, he was visualizing a healed body? Is that what you mean when you say that?

Tom Costello: Yes.

Participant: So I would visualize focusing on a positive business or whatever plus a healthy body instead of “I’ve got to lose this weight” and worrying about all the awful clients I could get.”

Tom Costello: Yes. Trying to lose weight you feed weight. So that’s where the emphasis is. It makes it become more solid, denser and more there. Really that weight is there for some purpose. It’s there for some purpose. I say thank it, appreciate it. Say, “I got the message” if you think you’ve gotten the message. And now you want to get on, you can be safe without this extra weight. You can be happier. You can be more expressive. You can be healthier. You can be more of a role of model of the Light, capital “L”. That’s the game you want to play. “I want to be a role model for Light.” I’ve got it under all this weight. No, I don’t need to have that any more. You can be light about it. Lighten up.

Participant: It’s funny, because my name means light.

Tom Costello: There you go. That’s a good focus, right there. “Light” with a capital “L” and also with a lower case “l”. And that’s what you want in a business as well. You want to be bright and attractive so people can find their way to your doorstep and say, “I’d like to buy some services from you.” Yeah.

Before I give a Code did somebody need to say something?

Participant: (Marion) Sometime before the end of the call I’d like to get a Code. I’m just putting a word in before the time ends.

Page 9: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 9Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

Tom Costello: Deal. I would be willing to stay on this call as long as anybody wanted a Code. That would be cool. (Tom tests for Code) As a focus I like if your name means light and you want to connect to that light within. It’s all about that light. It’s all about that vibration. It’s all about that energy, that highest, brightest, most loving and every good word you can think of you can attribute to light. You go, “That’s me. I want to grow into my name. I was appropriately labeled.” There you go. (Tom gives Code)

Really settle into that so that which doesn’t belong to you – erroneous beliefs, fears, doubts and so on – that obscure your connection, your lightness can dissipate, can burn off. Kind of like a little shadow when you turn up the light.

Participant: How many times a day do I have to do it?

Tom Costello: Three or four. Want to do it.

Participant: What did I say, “have to”?

Tom Costello: Yes. Get into the mode of being a kid in a candy store and this is like going to a candy store. Cool?

Participant: Yes. Thank you. Take care. I’ll talk to you in probably a week.

Tom Costello: How about you, Marion?

Participant: (Marion) Yes, thank you. First of all I wanted to tell this lady of the light to keep on doing what she’s doing. I’ve made so, so much progress using The Healing Codes. She is already and she will continue to. It’s been I don’t know how many years, Tom, but at least 3 I think maybe. I will put in a plug for the Q Codes. Exactly what she was saying. That is what I use. I use them through going on a weekend. I did that before you could buy them as a package. It’s a lot more affordable now. I will say I always choose Q Codes over The Healing Codes because I know some people do both. I really do like how efficient it is. My life is busy. I can do – I’ll do Q Codes numerous times through the day and can do them fast and really feel an effect quickly, quicker than I did with The Healing Codes. So that’s my experience that I share for her.

I would like a Code. I do have a coach, but this is my ongoing thing. It’s my finances. I don’t have the finances right now to purchase more Codes. When I found out that I could get one on this call I said, “All right. I’m going to go for it.” You’ve heard me talk through this. It just continues. I keep doing Codes and all those things. There’s some block.

Tom Costello: Are you in a car or some place where you can write?

Participant: I can write.

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 10Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

Tom Costello: Do this. Anybody could do this on this call. I’m going to draw a little stick figure on the left side of the page about an inch tall. That represents you. I’ll put a smile on your face. Off to the right, about an inch tall, I’m going to put a $. I’m going to put a horizontal line beneath your feet that extends over to the $. That’s the distance between you and the money. And that distance is real and variable for all of us. You could turn around and sell a pumpkin pie in four minutes and that distance is very short. Or, if you are trying to sell a house or something, that distance is apt to be a little bit longer. But that distance in terms of time and distance is a relatively minor point in my conversation here.

Now, between you and this $ there seems to be some sort of impediment. I’m going to draw two circles. I’m going to draw a circle around the $ which represents, for us old enough and cool enough to know what Star Trek is. Remember the force field in Star Trek? Zzzzt “What’s that Captain?” We put force fields not only around objects and concepts and people and places and things, but we put it around money. We put a force field around that to keep it there.

We also, and this is the second one, put a force field around ourselves. You can just imagine if I were to describe it a little bit differently. I take two magnets. I try to push the same end, the south pole or the north pole of the magnets, and they resist. You know, you can’t push them together, you can’t push them together. Only the opposite ends will go. It is that kind of a field that when you are trying to approach money it goes away or when it’s trying to come to you it bounces off.

Now if I simplify this and say those two circles represent force fields, if I’m talking about the field around you it is one of safety, deservingness,

Participant: You’re saying this, Tom, because you know me and you know these things about me? Or is this sort of the human condition?

Tom Costello: I think this is really the human condition. Because this is a chronic problem for lots of people there is an energetic component here. It’s not like “I’m in a town and there’s no job.” That’s not what we’re talking about. We’re talking about energy here.

Safety is two fold. Oftentimes it’s like this: Would I be safe being rich? I’ve literally had people say to me, “I don’t want to win the lottery.” Why is that? “Because then people could take it away from me. You could get robbed. Your relatives could borrow your money. Then the Income Tax and IRS will all be after you. Then you have to worry about it being invested and people scam investments. They would take it.”

Oh, you wouldn’t be safe if you had money? Yeah. I think that’s what he was saying. Right? So that is one issue of safety. There’s another issue of safety that says “If we had money we might be bad.” We might look down our nose on other people. We might not be humble. We might not be spiritual. We might not be able to get to heaven. We might

Page 11: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 11Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

not be able to… We might forget our roots. “I don’t want to be like that. I guess I’d better keep money away from me.” Right?

I’ll speak to the two people I made reference to before. I’ll talk to the spiritual being, Marion, basically I’m talking to all of you, and the physical being, Marion. The spiritual being you is so fantastic, so well intentioned, so God-connected, so bright, so light there is no danger of any of that. The physical being goes, “If I had some money the first thing I would do (this shows you how I am) is buy a gallon of ice cream and eat it. I’d buy a coffee cake and eat it.” Or whatever other images we may have accumulated early on of our own or of our parents and grandparents, right down the line.

The physical, when we have those urges, and I mentioned this a few weeks back, these urges that suggest – I suggested this. When you have some sort of emotion that looks like mis-emotion, like whoa, that emotion is inappropriate. There are no real reasons for that. It’s that physical being got rubbed the wrong way and some memory, maybe yours maybe your parents’, maybe your grandparents’, maybe somebody else in your blood line, somebody somewhere had a memory and it just got rubbed the wrong way. You, as a spiritual being go, “Hold on a second, I’m going to pause for one breath or two breaths.” You can make that turbulence, that little teeny turmoil, and maybe not teeny, that upset go. “That was just a memory. I don’t have to get all bent out of shape.”

Those two things, right off the top of my head, I would want to heal. You would be fantastic. If you were rich here’s what it would do for you. It would change your mobility. That’s really one of the great things of having money is it allows you to move from point A to point B more conveniently. Instead of walking you can ride. Instead of riding you can fly. Instead of taking a row boat you take a cruise ship. It’s convenience in moving your energy.

And, you serve as a fantastic role model of the abundant nature of God’s creation. I think this is promised a lot of places in the Bible. “I’m evidence. I’m open to it. I allowed it. I accepted it. I modeled it. You can do the same thing.” I like the statement that I can’t quote exactly from the Bible, but it’s basically where Jesus says, “I do this and I do it through the Father. It’s not me.” And another time he’s describing something else in which he says, “I can do this and you can do these and even greater things.” He was talking to us. He wasn’t talking to those guys around them as “Only you. Nobody else in the future. Only you guys.” I don’t think that’s true at all. I think he was speaking to us.

You go, “That’s what I want to do. I want to model God’s love.” Hey! Do that and now all of a sudden there is no force field around you.

What is money? Money is an energy form. Sometimes you can’t even see it. Something pops up on your computer. Something just got deposited in PayPal. You don’t even see it. It’s not even dollars and cents any more. It’s a couple of electrons signaling you from your computer screen. You hand someone plastic and you end up with product. Then you electronically pay so you never even touched a dollar or change. It’s energy.

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 12Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

Participant: When you think of the word “currency”.

Tom Costello: Yeah, that’s pretty electric. Exactly. You know what I want to do? I want to start a flow of currency to me and through me. That’s what I want to do. It’s very clear to me this concept of priming the pump. I love that image. I love the way I learned that when I was eight or nine years old and saw it for the very first time. You know, one of those hand pumps on the farm? Me and one of my friends both wanted water. We were hot and sweaty. We came across the can of water and the farm pump. I thought we were going to share drinking the water out of that can. He goes, “No, that’s not how you do it.” And he poured it into the pump. He says, “Lift that handle up and down a few times while I do this. I go, “Oh, you’re pouring our water away? How does this work?” He trusted in it because of his experience. A second later we had gallons and gallons of fresh, clear, cold water. “Wow, that’s amazing.”

But it took us to prime the pump. You want it? Give it first. You want love? Give it first.

I’m going to digress a little bit because I think this is important and obviously I’m enthused about it. Leo Buscaglia was a famous self-help guy. He was very loving on TV all the time maybe 10, 15, 20 years ago. He tells the story about a girl whose body was discovered at the bottom of a bridge where she had jumped to her death. They were going through her pockets trying to identify who she is to notify next of kin. They come across a note in her pocket that said, “If somebody would smile at me on my way to the bridge I wouldn’t jump.”

Clearly nobody smiled at her. That’s very sad. It says that a lot of people are involved in their own thing – I do the same thing – we’re so involved in the same thing we forget the power of that energetic flow where we could prime the pump by smiling at another person to validate them, to give them love, to give them respect, acknowledge their existence, make it safe for them to be, to tell them they actually do “be”, they do exist and I noticed it.

But the saddest part of that for me in the priming of the pump example is every one of us on this phone call knows in an obvious way. If any person here wants to stand on a street corner and want a person to smile at us we know how to do it. I’ll smile first. It would basically be impossible for people to walk past us without smiling back. We can make them smile at us whether they want to or not. Whether their toast was burned and their coffee was cold, we can make them smile by smiling first. We can prime the pump. We can give that energy and it would bounce right back to us. We would have improved their day and our day both in that same single act.

I think the same thing is true of money. We can have a new relationship with money. For those of us, and I would guess it’s the great majority of us, who have done incredibly foolish stuff with money, incredibly thoughtless stuff – I’m speaking of myself. If this resonates with you, you can go “me too”. Unbelievably ignorant stuff. Terrible uses of money, wasted, squandered. Yikes! You know what? If I look at money it’s like “Uh-

Page 13: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 13Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

oh” I’m looking in the mirror of my foolishness and I feel bad about myself. You know what? It pays to forgive myself for that foolishness. It pays to forgive myself. It wasn’t money’s fault. I forgive myself anyway and I forgive myself for the way I misused it. I was ignorant about it.

Now I don’t have to defend myself from money. I don’t look at money as “money makes me feel bad about me.” I can heal that. Now all of a sudden that circle around the money changes. If there’s an opportunity for me to give value to start a flow I give value as you do when you work, Marion. I know you from that context. You give value – money flows. You give value – money flows. You give energy – energy flows. On one end you do it one way and the other is dollars and cents. You go, “I like this.”

I would use that for – out of that ton of words you can extract a focus, okay? (Tom tests for a Code)

This is a thought that just occurred to me. I want to share this with everybody on the call. This is an opinion, but I would like you to accept it. We are not 25 watt light bulbs. We are not 25 watt light bulbs; we are brilliant, brilliant lights waiting to be turned on. Know that is more the truth of our natures than this little teeny glimmering light. If we bought that, somebody sold it to us or didn’t know what they were doing or we misunderstood. We’re bright lights. Turn it on.

(Tom gives Code) You’re going to want to settle into this and not work hard at it. I think what I was describing is true. Thinking you are going to knock down barriers makes the barriers bigger. “I know what the game is. Big barriers and I’ll knock them down.” No, no. They’re shadows like little energy patterns. I’m turning up the light of knowingness of my deservingness, of my safety, of my goodness and my role as an expresser of Godness and goodness modeling God’s abundance. Yeah.

Participant: Okay. Thank you, Tom.

Tom Costello: Somebody else on the call have a point of view? An answer?

Participant: (Gail) I have a gland, I think it’s a gland underneath my chin which comes on and off. It must be relative to anger or something because it’s sore and it swells. It moves with the motion. If I massage it and do a figure 8 on it, it seems to be better a little bit. I think I have some anger hidden in there.

My name means “path of joy” and that is a striving thing, not easy.

Tom Costello: What does your name mean?

Participant: It means “path of joy”. That’s my business card as well, but I can’t seem to achieve that, allow that.

Tom Costello: Okay.

Page 14: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 14Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

Participant: I would like a Code to be true to my God-given name. I have a huge desire for joy and I am lit up when I have clients. When their physiology changes I am just ecstatic. But then I go home and I don’t have my joy. I can’t seem to manifest things that I would like as well that pertain to joy like lots of clients, a really good relationship, just a rounded thing. When things seem to start going well I notice that I have an energy that seems like fear.

Tom Costello: In the past in your conversations with me on these calls you indicate a sense of urgency, not necessarily a good thing which not about the path, it’s about the destination and the arrival. It’s the arrival of joy. The path of joy is to enjoy the path. That is, if I were talking about eating a sandwich, it would be take a small bite, chew it as many times as you possibly could focused on joy.

Now you’ve chewed 10-12-15-18 times and gotten the maximum amount of joy out of that sandwich. You go, “Wow, that was really good.” You take another small bite and you do the same thing. I’m only guessing.

Participant: You’re doing more than guessing. I think you’re right on. I think that what is being demonstrated is a greed-craving, desire-based living out of some real poverty consciousness.

Tom Costello: Frankly I’ve known people with tons of money who had to take sugar packets out of a restaurant and worry about things and worry about things. They had plenty of money, but they weren’t rich and they weren’t wealthy. They were poor.

Participant: Got it.

Tom Costello: So the path of joy says enjoy the path.

Participant: It’s amazing how you can do that. Wow.

Tom Costello: Hold on, I’m going to test. (Tom tests for Code)You’re going to want to hurry through it, so if you feel the urge to hurry through it, I would increase it by half (from 6 to 9).

Participant: (Laughter)

Tom Costello: Settle in. “My job, doing this Code, is to enjoy it.” That joy, it’s not hard for any of us to imagine, is like turning the dimmer switch up. You know as you’re turning up joy, turning up joy, turning up joy you are so much more attractive, much more magnetic. So that relationship you’re talking about and the clients you’re talking about are going to be easier to attract from a place of joy than one of those other places, because you can attract somebody who is light, somebody who is energized at that same vibration. You don’t want to be in fear and attract somebody else in fear. Yikes! No thanks!

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 15Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

Participant: Yes. True. Thank you. I appreciate you very much.

Tom Costello: Thanks. Someone else on the call got something going on?

Participant: (Paula) I have an issue that I would like to get some success around. I have a problem with, I have things I need to mail, things I need to ship, things I need to package up, take to Post Office, get them weighed and then send them. I guess I’m afraid it may get lost in the mail or whatever.

I remember when I was a kid I went on an errand with my dad real late in the Christmas season. It probably was the day before Christmas eve or Christmas eve. We were on our way to the Post Office and my Mom had packaged up some wax. Remember how people used to put wax on the back of a letter and press it? My grandmother used to like to do that. So my Mom had packed it all up ready to ship to my dad’s mom. I went with my dad to the Post Office. We were on the way to the Post Office. He’s the grown-up and I’m the kid. He’s looking for the Post Office and he passed it. First of all he’s kind of upset with my mom we even left the house that she would wait until the last minute to mail this. She said, “I had a million other things to do. This isn’t the only thing.” She wrapped it up so nice. Then he couldn’t find the Post Office and then he passed it.

He said, “It can’t be this far.” I said, “You passed it back there.” He said, “Why didn’t you tell me?” I said, “Well?” I’m sure I was under 10. I’m not supposed to be telling him. On our way back he was going to stop at the Post Office. By this time it was closed. We went back home. Things didn’t get shipped to my grandma. We didn’t end up shipping it at another time. It would have been received and welcomed just as much late, but …. It just never got sent.

Tom Costello: So what feelings do you think you have about this subject of shipping stuff that you currently have in your possession that you want to go ship?

Participant: I think I’m a failure. I feel frustrated. I feel overwhelmed. I have Christmas presents that I haven’t shipped out.

Tom Costello: Let’s not deal with them. Let’s go through the technology, the mechanics of this process. Do you know where the Post Office is?

Participant: Oh yeah! That’s simple.

Tom Costello: Do you know how to get to the Post Office.

Participant: Simple.

Tom Costello: Do you know how to put stamps on the package or pay for it or tell somebody what you want, like First Class, Parcel Post, Overnight, that sort of thing? Right?

Page 16: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 16Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

Mechanically, Paula, in 2008 knows the process. There’s no fear around this stuff in 2008.

Participant: Right.

Tom Costello: Now the chain on your ankle is related to some time other than 2008. Now if you turn around and look at that event when you were a little girl where you’re picking up on the anger of your father, frankly this is the reality of that as far as I’m concerned. Your father gets mad at your mother because your mother asks him to do something that initially he thinks he might not be up to the task. “Oh-oh, she’s putting my on the spot, making me go to the Post Office.”

Now he went into fear which he quickly converts into anger. He bounces back up to the anger level up a couple. Now he growls. The anger reduces his intelligence, right fight-or-flight – it makes you dumber. So he drives past it. It also makes you angry. It’s the weather man’s fault. It’s the road’s fault. It’s this little girl’s fault for her not navigating correctly. A lot of that static he’s got going on is spilling over now on you. And I would imagine that “Oh, man, we failed at our mission. We’re going to have to take this stuff home. Mom and Dad are mad at one another. I didn’t contribute anything. It’s partly my fault. If I had been a good navigator….”

You’re going to want to heal all of that stuff. The picture we drew for Marion, the line for that, with the stick figure and the $.

Participant: I didn’t hear all of that, no.

Tom Costello: That’s too bad, because you could take a picture of the Post Office and stick it into that second circle and heal your relationship to shipping packages to recognize that you shipping packages, you sending letters is a way of you priming the pump with loving gestures.

You go, “Oh, I was so busy about doing it wrong, doing it wrong, sending the wrong thing, not being there in the right time, doing it wrong.” There’s no wrong. Shift your focus and focus on sending energy. That’s what we do. That’s what we do as people, we send energy. I go back to what I was talking about before, about smiling, we send energy. That’s better than a letter. Send energy in the form of a smile or touch or kind word or greeting.

When you look at this stuff it’s not about you doing it wrong. You’re going to want to heal that. It’s about giving joy, sending light. You go, “Oh, there’s no wrong?” There’s no wrong. Send it any time you want. You are focused on the sending and the joy and value of that sending of energy, moving of energy, like the currency that flows.

Page 17: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 17Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

Participant: I can see that because I was tickled about sending this to the grandmother. It was something that she really liked. To this day I have this glitch. I really want to heal this.

Tom Costello: Good and you can. That stuff is not current. That’s old-time stuff and you can do that. That doesn’t belong to you. You were in between two electric, staticy terminals. You were right in between them – zzzzzt—your hair is sticking out now because you’ve got some static from your father and from your mother and you thought it was about you. It wasn’t. So you can heal that whole thing about Post Offices and see them as facilitators of you sending light in the form of cards, letters, packages, fruit-cakes, whatever. Cool?

(Tom tests for Code) You can heal this issue in 3-4 days if you settle into it, relax into it. You and Post Offices can be best of friends.

Participant: Okay. I’m looking forward to it. Thanks, Tom.

Tom Costello: Someone else on the call with a “thing” going on or a comment, question, answer?

Participant: (Bob) I’ve been using The Healing Codes and am very successful. And I listen to many of the sessions on the phone. Many of the issues are dealing with things that reflect on what has happened in our lives as a result of other people. What do you suggest in things that we have done, or I will say I have done that I have regretted that leave images in my mind?

Tom Costello: Is that the end of the sentence?

Participant: Yeah, I could become very plain about it.

Tom Costello: So you have done things that you regret?

Participant: Yes.

Tom Costello: And rather than them healing they stay like an open wound?

Participant: I know they’re forgiven, but the image of them when I was a kid and a young adult, I’ve fallen into pornography and I know I’m forgiven, free of that. But at the same time those images, it’s like residue from the images that is still on the inside. I think this would be helpful for many people.

Tom Costello: I do too. This is an important topic. So just to digress a teeny bit, I got a e-mail I think last week from a woman who wanted to talk about sexual addiction. Not hers but somebody else’s. Addiction or pornography or any other attachment to the physical that is out of balance can be problematic for us.

Page 18: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 18Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

You can say, food is a good thing, but we clearly know how to overdo that. Sex is a good thing and we clearly know how to overdo that. Work is a good thing and we know how to overdo that. We certainly have the overdo part down pretty thoroughly. So it seems to me the image that I use when I speak and if you’ve been on the call the whole time, Bob, you would have heard me refer to Bob, the spiritual being, who I’m talking to as well as Bob, the physical being. These urges, these other images, these memories, in my opinion really belong to the physical. They’re ours. They are things that we learned early as boys. They’re stuff we may have picked up from our parents and their experiences and the grandparents and their experiences. “I don’t know where I get this from.”

Nonetheless we have it. We have it in our physical being. We don’t have it in our spiritual being. Our vehicle may have this kind of thing. When I look at this and say, for those of us who think “I’m a physical being. Period. End of story. This is the way I am. I’m a cave man. That’s how I’m going to act.” They’re going to act that way. Other people go, “I’m a cave man, but I really regret it.” That’s the awakening of the spiritual being getting through the concrete. “Hello, hello! You’re not really what you think you are or what you’ve been told.”

But if you experience these physical things, you go, “Hmmm…”

I’m going to pause right there and go to a new chapter. I’m a firm believer that our educational system and even our religious systems have set us up for failure.

Participant: I totally agree.

Tom Costello: I describe it “management by disapproval”. We were disapproved of by our parents, by our teachers, by employers, by our older siblings, by our friends, by…. And we were told – this was clear to me as a kid. I was terrified of God. I was hoping I was in a large enough family he wouldn’t notice me and all the sinful things I was doing and all the good things I wasn’t doing. “Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh” kind of thing. Looking back I see that’s crazy to do to a kid. That’s just crazy. It’s very controlling, very effective, but terrible at the same time.

I think because “it is all good” it is just a question of when the good arrives. Does it arrive when I hit the button, does good immediately occur? Or, does it arrive 60 years later or 80 years later or 80 minutes later? But it’s going to arrive.

Instead of judging everything we do as good or bad, sin or no sin, right or wrong, mistake or no mistake, I think that set of scales is a trap. I would encourage – I use this with me and I use it with clients – is to change the scale. Make it a horizontal like and make it “effectiveness”. All the way over to the left is zero. All the way over to the right is 100. You’re never going to get to either end. So we’re going to be somewhere near the middle. But the game is “I want to become more effective.”

I’m standing now and I’m walking as I’m talking. Am I doing it right? Am I doing it wrong? Is this best? Am I making a mistake the way I’m walking? That’s not a good

Page 19: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 19Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

way to look at things. Am I being effective? Yes, I am. Could I be more effective? Probably. Could I be less effective? Probably. But am I enjoying this? Yes. That’s the test. There is joy in it. Not pleasure. I’m not talking pleasure. I’m talking joy which is more a spiritual thing than a physical thing.

There’s a sense of connectedness. It’s spiritual in nature. All is right with me and all is right with the world. It’s that kind of a feeling. So if we’re trying to start our lives becoming more effective, more effective, woops, less effective, more effective….

That’s really the way we’re trained early on. Nobody said to us when the first time we tried to stand and we fell down, “You’re not a walker. You’re not a stander. You’d better just get used to slithering along on your belly. You can’t do it. It’s clear.” Nobody did that to us. We kept standing, falling, standing, falling, walking, falling, standing, falling, walking, running, falling, to the point where we developed effective balance where we could stand at will, walk at will, run at will. That’s cool. We developed effectiveness in there. Nobody ridiculed us into stopping early on.

If we can look at all the adjustments we need to make, and really a mistake is an indication for a need for adjustment. Did you do things in your life that required adjustment? I hope so.

Participant: Yes.

Tom Costello: Me, too. And the person who says, “I don’t want to make a mistake” had better glue his feet to the floor and even that would be a mistake. “There’s nothing I can…” You can’t look at it like that. You just keep adjusting and adjusting and adjusting and adjusting.

The need to adjust becomes obvious to us because we can feel it. From an emotional standpoint there is emotional feedback. If nobody is being hurt directly, you’re not torturing somebody else which should be evident – this might not be a good idea. Then that’s different. But if we’re doing something that prevents our energy from connecting to another person’s energy we isolate and become hermits. That disconnection is not really effective. It doesn’t allow us to replenish. We need to be able to give to others and receive. Give and then receive. The first step is to plant the seed and the second is to reap the harvest.

So adjusting, becoming more effective in that way – I would just seek to translate this experience. I say this on calls. I believe one of the greatest powers that we have is the fact that we are meaning-givers. We’re tool-users, but we’re meaning-givers more so. We can give meaning to anything. You can look at any experience in your life, anything that you’ve done “right” or “wrong”, anything effective or not effective, anything painful or not and go “I decided to view that as education. I chose that curriculum of running head-first into the wall for repeated number of times to learn for sure that there’s a better way to find the door.”

Page 20: Tom Costello: This is The Healing Codes Question …€¦ · Web view2008/09/04  · Tom Costello: All this stuff takes as long as it takes. I don’t recall if you told us your age

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 20Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

You can look at anything that you’ve done or not done as the curriculum. You might go, “It definitely has made me smarter, wiser, more compassionate, has made me more sensitive.” That is a good thing to reap out of a set of experiences. That’s real value. You go, “I learned a lot of me and about life and feelings and my physicality and my spirituality. Okay, that was obviously the course I chose, this set of courses, this entire curriculum in the university of life.” I would say compassion, forgiveness, kindness to self, letting ourselves off the hook… Go to a heavy self-approval diet. Hey, I ran into more than my share of walls, but you know what, I kept on running.

I go, "At-a-boy" that’s great. We can continue to grow, moving forward, progressing, ziging-zaging, going up and down, three steps forward, two back. We’ve got to give ourselves a lot of credit "at-a-boy", "at-a-girl". That’s right. I’m getting better and more aware to be able to perceive this stuff and carrying this stuff on my back like guilt and regret.

To me regret is one of the most painful of all things. I’d just as soon be able let that go. Set it down on the ground. Forgive myself for carrying it for as long as I carried it. It made me aware. Then go on with a lighter step.

Participant: One of the things in the past few weeks that The Healing Codes has done to me is that I’ve really become aware and I’m able to say this to people that I am thankful for the person God made in me. I’m learning to love myself. To be able to say that and to love the person that God has made is a huge success for me.

Tom Costello: That’s huge for anybody. Everybody on this call would go, “I’ll take some of that.”

Participant: It’s not an arrogant type thing. It’s becoming pleased and comfortable with myself and the talents God has given me.

Tom Costello: That’s fantastic.

Participant: I never could have said, or would not have said that six months ago.

Tom Costello: That’s fantastic. I also hear this in the future when we don’t self-attack, when we are not our own enemies, we have literally declared peace not only in our bodies, but in our minds. Now all of a sudden, because we’re not under attack our antennae are up. Opportunities are obvious to us. We are exchanging information with other people with smiles and speaking. We hear things and see things that before when we were beating ourselves we were impervious to.

I live in Florida so I can look out the window and look at flowers and the spotlights on them that are still opening in the warm weather. That warmth from me allows me to open and blossom and bloom even more. I think that’s what God had in mind. That’s a good thing. That’s an effective thing.

The Healing Codes 09.04.2008 21Thursday Night Q&A Tom Costello

How about a Code?

Participant: I would appreciate that.

Tom Costello: (Tests for Code) I would think of that focus on that person that God has created in you, I would say stay with that. The light of the truth of that growing brighter and brighter and brighter and the joy of that…. By the way I heard zero arrogance. That was clear to me it wasn’t there. That was more like joy of this awakening understanding.

Participant: I retook the Heart Test that’s on The Healing Codes site today. There was great improvement. The Joy category is the one that went from a negative way into the plus.

Tom Costello: I love it. Good for you. (Tom gives Code)

Participant: Thank you so much, Tom. God bless you.

Tom Costello: Thank you. You, too. Somebody else on the call who has a question, answer, comment, Code request?

With that thought in mind….

Participant: (Eileen) I have a question regarding that gentleman who was just speaking. He was talking about feeling bad about the past and things you had done. His example was pornography, but any kind of an addiction is an example of that. You know how you talk about the copyright rules and that with The Healing Codes, but you can share these with other family members or is that against the copyright?

Tom Costello: It’s designed to be shared with the household.

Participant: An example is my husband is terribly addicted to tobacco. Would you use that same kind of a Code for him if he was willing? But he hasn’t done the other 12. Do they always have to start with … I don’t know if he’d be willing. I think if he had some kind of shift with one then he would look at the whole program. Could you give that Code to someone with an addiction? The last one where you describe what you’re saying to the gentleman where you’re focusing on progress and all that kind of stuff.

Tom Costello: Yeah. You might not be able to go into the conversation, “Look, sweetie, there are two of you, your spiritual being and your physical being. The physical being is the one who has his hands on fire with a cigarette in it.” You just go, “I’d like you to try this to see if it has any impact.”

It seems very clear to me. I’m an ex-smoker. I quit smoking in January of 1975. It was clear to me a couple of years before that when I had quit the first image I had of smoking. I believe that’s the trap. “Oh, cigarettes mean this.” I gave it a certain meaning. Years later I’m choking, I’ve got stained fingers and I smell like an ash tray and I’m annoyed at

spending money and my friends bumming cigarettes off me. I’m going, “Uh, this is not the image I had when I was ten years old and watched my mother cigarette and a beautiful billow of smoke came out that looked so relaxing. This is anything but relaxing. Do over.” And I broke that false connection.

This is what goes on. I have somebody who told me the other day, a client of mine, “Why do you smoke?” She said, “I love it.” Well it took me about 15 minutes to stop laughing. How can you love lighting dead vegetation that’s been chemicalized and setting it on fire and breathing it in. That’s like lying behind a car breathing in its exhaust fumes. How can you love that? We love the physicality of it, the handling of the cigarette and holding it and touching it and that whole ritual. I think if you gave him a pen and made him do what he does with a cigarette he’d be satisfied. A lot of people don’t realize it’s that physicality. The same with drinking at a cocktail party. Put club soda or water in a glass and walk around at a cocktail party. It’s totally satisfying. I couldn’t believe when I learned that 25 years ago.

If you let him do this Code and he was willing to try it and he recognized that he has a relationship with this cigarette – it rules him, it controls him. When people say “I love smoking cigarettes” --- you see them standing out on the street corner in the snow, outside of a corporate building because they no longer can smoke inside. You are driving through a city and you see these people out there shivering. It’s cold and damp. I know they’re loving it. That’s why they’re doing it. They are not driving that. The cigarette is driving that.

So if he’s inclined to examine that relationship and regain freedom… to me that was the big thing. I wasn’t free. I couldn’t start the car until I started a cigarette no matter how cold it was. I couldn’t do numerous things until I started a cigarette. I said, “Wow, how did this thing become the domineering force in my life. This doesn’t work.” When you wake up to that you can say, “I don’t think so.” He can do that.

That’s a long way to say yes.

Participant: That’s okay, though. We’ve talked about how so many of these are hitting home for me. I’m writing down what I do each day in addition to the ones you gave me.

Tom Costello: Yeah. There you go.

Participant: Thank you very much.

Tom Costello: Let me just make a plea. I was just reading something and it was indicating that freedom, freedom is such a powerful drive in us. Being controlled by others really is very difficult for us. We are challenged by that and we will do all kinds of things to resist it. To be able to position cigarette smoking as being controlled by a substance, a ritual, an expensive, unpleasant, potentially dangerous habit – you’re a slave, honey. You might not be able to say that. But “your freedom has been taken away,

honey.” You’re right. Now it’s “I can’t have that.” Now you’ve got a revolution on your hands. Which could be good.

Participant: I’ll see how the week goes. I appreciate your help and everybody else who helped me. Thank you.

Tom Costello: We’re 10 minutes after the hour. Anyone have anything? Final words? I’m not trying to shut you down, but if you’re done, I’m done.

I want to thank you folks for being on the call. As each one of us cranks up our light a lot or a smidgen, it improves the lights all around us. People are modeling themselves after us whether we know it or not, whether we want it or not. If we’re going to be modeling, we might as well be modeling the highest vibrations we can. It just brings more high vibrations into our lives.

We’re going to be priming pumps. I think that’s basically a fact. We will be priming pumps. What comes out of that pump is what we’ve primed it with just in more abundance. So prime love, enthusiasm, laughter, joy, compassion, excitement are better things to prime with because we’re going to like the results of that.

Thank you folks, for being on the call tonight. God Bless You all.

Good night.
