Sharyn,
Thank you for posting all this material about Ho'oponopono. It is helping me sort out all the confusing feelings I am having in my first week on that module.
I have a few comments and questions to throw out there for discussion.

When we experience stress or fear in our lives, if we would look carefully, we would find that the cause is actually a memory. It is the emotions which are tied to these memories which affect us now. The subconscious associates an action or person in the present with something that happened in the past.

This is consistent with quantum physics, teachings in What the Bleep, Busting Loose from the Money Game, etc. My mind is convinced of such things but I have been looking for a method that I can actually use in the throes of a negative emotion to really FEEEEEL that I am not a victim of the emotion, and to change it to peace.

In this system, there is no need to analyze, solve, manage or cope with problems. Since the Divinity created everything, you can just go directly to Him and ask that it be corrected and cleansed.

I'm not really sure how to do this, since it is my emotional self that can't be talked into the idea of "god." Intellectually, I accept that there is a divine creator. Emotionally--no.

Morrnah works with her associate, Dr. Stanley Hew Len, who spent several years as a consulting clinical psychologist at the Hawaii State Hospital. He has had profound results by using this process with the most dangerous, violently "mentally ill" criminals in Hawaii. Yet he never talks to them, in fact, he never even sees them. He writes down their name and then just works on himself. He cleanses his judgments, beliefs, attitudes and asks the Divinity what he can do for the person. As those attachments and memories are cleansed, the patient improves.

I read some of the reviews of the Joe Vitale book on the Amazon page. I'm leery of anything that is aggressively marketed, so when I came across one review that said that the doctor who healed the mentally ill criminals actually used a more complex, written-out method that goes beyond the simple four phrases, I became more curious.
If this is simple, I want to find the best way that works for me personally to access that simplicity, or I won't make a practice of it. (i.e., the Busting Loose process method, while I get the idea of the shift he's trying to create, I'm put off by too many words since that reinforces my overactive analytical mind.)
If just using four phrases works, it can't be through any talismanic effect of the words; it has to be through the feelings they evoke in the person saying them...so along those lines, if one person needs to write it out to make it work, that's fine too.
Any thoughts? I appreciate the input of those who are more familiar with this teaching....
