The emotionally shattered young woman who was literally carried into Gary De Rodriguez’ office by friends did not want to live. Weeks before, she and her fiancé were kayaking in a glacial cave in Alaska when an ice stalactite broke loose from the cave ceiling and struck the man on the head, killing him.
”When Juno died,” recalls Sue Harley, now of Denver, Colorado, “all my dreams and hopes, my whole future, died with him.”
De Rodriguez, founder of the Santa Fe, NM based Life Design International Training Center and creator of the Life Design Trainings, had a reputation for helping people use the untapped power of their mind to heal their body and spirit. For Harley, De Rodriguez was her last chance to live.
”I immediately knew I could trust him when I told him the story of Juno’s death, and he cried right along with me,” Harley said. “Then he helped me find my way back from total despair through a timeline process by showing me my future.” Through this gentle, powerful method of harnessing and directing the power of the mind, Harley said, she began to see more and more exciting reasons to keep on living. In the new future she was mentally creating, she saw an attractive man with an accent; children; a new home. By imagining these mental pictures, and feeling the joyful emotions that accompanied them, Harley began to embrace her future life with enthusiasm.
Six months after completing her work with De Rodriguez, Harley said she met a cute man from Australia – and the future she designed for herself became real.
As astounding as Harley’s physical and spiritual recovery was, De Rodriguez says each of us holds the key for such dramatic change in our minds.
“We choose our heaven or our hell inside of our own neurology,” De Rodriguez explains. “The pictures we’re mentally contemplating, the words we’re speaking in our internal dialogue, and the emotions we’re producing all become our reality and determine any limits to our success.”
De Rodriguez speaks from experience. He traveled a winding and uphill spiritual path to overcome the hurts of his past – child abuse, juvenile drug addiction, paralyzing depression, the agony of seeing friends waste away from AIDS. Fifteen years meditating three hours a day in an ashram in India didn’t heal the hurt or catapult him into spiritual bliss. Studying and teaching positive disciplines like “A Course In Miracles” helped, but didn’t fix everything. It wasn’t until De Rodriguez discovered the mental management tools of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that he was able to completely release the old pains and refocus his life.
”Realize that the brain is a computer,” De Rodriguez explains, “and NLP is very much the owner’s manual for the human body. It teaches us how we created our beliefs, our values, our individual perceptions and the foundation of our personality.” Through NLP technologies, says De Rodriguez, we can see how some aspects of our personalities cut to the very root of our ability to be successful. When we understand how we created those flawed thinking patterns, we can learn how to redirect them.
Deeply committed to helping to raise world consciousness, De Rodriguez built a complete spiritual element on top of basic NLP to create Life Design Trainings – his system of using the mind-body connection to achieve excellence in every aspect of life. His unique approach is being embraced by people from all walks of life, including professionals seeking to establish a more balanced and successful career path.
Los Angeles Attorney Sylvia Esquivel said De Rodriguez helped her gain a better understanding of how differently each person sees the world based on their past experiences.
”Once you understand this of yourself,” she says, “you can understand that other people have their own perspectives which are not right or wrong, but which are or may be different. Becoming aware of this alone is priceless — and it helps in releasing one’s point of view of ‘I’m right, he is wrong’ in personal, business or other types of interactions.”
For a successful San Diego Realtor who participated in De Rodriguez’ 12-day Life Design Training Practitioner certification program, the biggest benefit was a dramatic shift in his ability to solve problems.
”If I got stuck on something, I had lots of different options I didn’t know about before,” he said. As a result, the Realtor says, things that previously would bother him no longer have power, and he’s more confident, happier and able to build instant rapport with prospective clients.
”Where most training programs fail is they never teach the individual how to manage their own internal state,” says Rodriguez. “They put on blanket Band-Aids – ‘this technique is for diversity, and this technique is for communicating.’ But that training is all about your external behavior – and what’s happening internally is what’s driving the external behavior.
”What they’re doing is putting a Band-Aid over the already established ACT. They’re trying to shift behavior at the behavioral level, and you can NEVER shift behavior at the behavioral level. You must use the power of the mind to permanently shift behaviors.”
Psychotherapist Adam Colson interacts daily with homeless and destitute people.
“A huge challenge in my work is establishing rapport with down-on-their-luck individuals, and working with them to shift their mental outlook and create well-focused goals,” Colson says. “I’ve studied many different forms of therapy, and Life Design Training techniques help people change their behaviors more quickly and effectively than anything else I’ve tried.”
“If people had just the basic mental tools,” said De Rodriguez, “they could start improving their lives immediately. Where they get into the most pain is feeling like they don’t have choices. I desire to teach people they have the resources and choices to choose a different road, and a magnificent future.”

Question:
When was that?
Gary:
A year ago. And all of the sudden, I come back to the States and all these things start happening that would have normally shattered me, absolutely shattered me. Core things, it tapped right into my core wound by people that I felt had undoable love for me. Normally I would have just fallen apart. I breathed through it, like a greased eal. I was like: ‘God, I cannot believe how good I feel.’ Big old betrayel-issues that I could make up, like really big betrayals, I don’t care! They don’t have anything to do with me. I am like’ wow, that’s different!’. That is really different for me. And I know that whatever happened on that table, was absolutely powerful. And when she said ‘you will be in Australia, this is where all the healers are coming” I was like: ok, I will look! All the doors started closing here in America. I don’t want to say all of them, but a lot of them. And they closed in comfortable and not so comfortable ways. And I am just sitting back, looking at it knowing at one level it is not about my ego, it is not about my personality, it is about the life speak. It is about what is life saying to me through theses circumstances. And then all the doors in Australia started flying open. Before I left I was invited to the private chambers of the Governor of Western Australia and had lunch with him. And then like the secretary to the speaker of the house of the Governor comes to one of my trainings and she takes a training. She is like ‘Oh God that is fabulous’. Then I find out that there is a company who I have done a lot of work with. This is the woman that I have appeared to supposedly in my astro-format, saved from breast-cancer and some other horrible disease which I don’t have any clue what that is about. She said for sure I showed up there and that is what saved her life. So her company, which is this multi-million-company is now sponsoring me as a special talent sponsory which is almost impossible to get to come down to Australia. She has made best friends with the secretary of the speaker of The House. And the speaker of The House told my friend who is sponsoring me, he said ‘I am just a puppet, who really runs this office is this lady who took my course. So this lady told my friend who is sponsoring me ‘just lounge the visa and I will make sure it happens’. And I am looking at all of it and I am going: ‘how does that happen’? Those are doors that are opening through life speak. Those are huge doors. Then my attorney says: “oh, my best friend is the Governor of New South Wales, just let me know, I will put you in contact with her”. I am like ‘what is that about’? Don’t you think that’s weird; that does not happen. So I am just looking at that going ‘maybe I am supposed to go down there and buy lots of land so if stuff starts to really happen, everybody will have a place to come to. Yes, who knows. I just don’t have a clue. But what I know is that I am in the slipstream of having a lot of faith in what I trust is opening up through the circumstances that are happening. And I am just following that. And because I know, that when I step out into the unknown like that I am practicing for death. Because when I have to step out of the void of my body and leap out into the unknown, you just cannot do that without practicising. You just cannot. You have to learn how to leap out into the void in life in order to leap out into the void of death. So I thought: What is the worst thing that can happen? I leap out into the void and there is no one there to catch me. So I get to practice. And for me that is what going to Australia is: It is leaping into the void. Far from letting go of the kajak. Yes, because that kayak was a big deal. Almost dieing a year ago is a big deal. I did not really realize how close I came to dieing until maybe a couple of weeks ago and I came so close to like dieing. Of course my sponsors’ first thing out of their mouse was “bloody hell, we better take out some life insurance policies on you, because we have had lots of money booked in these trainings and if you died, we would be like.. I don’t know what we would do.” And I am like ‘oh, thank you so much. I can see your first thoughts up. So, yes, it was like let go of it and swim to the dingy.
I think that there is a lot of possibilities in life and I think each one of us have doors that are opening and doors that are closing and I sometimes think it is our egos, that pound on the doors until we bloody ourselves, because we don’t want that door to close. But it already has. And we are not looking at the doors that are opening. Really, what we are here for is a soul excursion and a soul learning where our soul and our spirit evolves itself. We are not here to back on the call of our egos. The challenge is not knowing the difference. That is why in the training we are doing that we are choosing to bring really clear distinctions between the subconscious, the ego and the higher self so that we can start getting to a relationship with the higher self and the subconscious mind so that we will know. Because if we don’t have that relationship established, how do we know? That’s why I think the training is going to be really life transforming. I know a book is going to come out of it. We just got approached by an ex-mister universe that works at that really exclusive spa where Opra Whinfrey goes and he does her 3 weeks. It is in Tuscan (?) It is called Mira Mar. And it is this really exclusive place and he works there. He runs the whole kind of health department and he saw us work at the production studio. He was in the production room watching the videos, we were doing work with all these clients and he was like ‘that is fabulous’. So he approached us to come together and put a body transformation training (..). And Tricia has been writing a proposal, we are going to present it to the (…?) and since he is already there and he is already very well respected and he will be part of the team we have a very good chance of having that training happen. Which would be, God the exposure we would get, it would be incredible. Because these are really like high-end contacts that we would have exposure to. So things are happening. I don’t know what form they are going to take. But I am like in the slipstream of faith and I am just following how life is leading me. And it is scary. How many of you have been scared before?
It is like, ah I just don’t know if this is what is supposed to be or not. Byron Katie has that wonderful line: If it is, then love what is! It is here as a teacher and there is an undelivered gift in it. Find the gift! And it is our egos’ judgment and condemnation of what is that creates the pain. Because we are judging all the time and that is what causes the separation the pain and the fear. And trust me, I am as lost in it as anybody else. But I know that that is not the right path. That’s why for me to be in a collection of individuals who are doing something similar is a high priority for me.
Really be alert to the company you keep because you will take on color, you absolutely will. The subconscious mind is being programmed all the time and our conditioning is vast and deep, isn’t it? And the world is journaling alignment with our historical tradition, with our historical conditioning. So whenever we are out there and absorbed in that it is just like so comfortable, because that is how we have been historically conditioned to be. So it takes time and it takes effort to recondition ourselves in another way. And it is challenging. That is why the information about language the information about imagination, all that, it comes with the ‘master your destiny training’, that stuff is really important because the NLP-techniques help to unravel the story and program the future, the languaging, the imagination techniques is really what sustains your ability to emotionally have the will to apply the tools you have learned. Because how many of you know when you get depressed the last thing you do is ‘ I am going to do some NLP to get out of that ‘.. .I am just like, I am not doing that! Or when you are really down, are you going to call a friend who can really get you to the other side of this? It’s like, no!
So the best things we can do for ourselves is, to know that every word we are speaking is a prayer coming into manifestation and that we are and we are praying to a god that will answer us, because our thinking will follow our language and our thinking is our prayer. So either the god of your ability to wake yourself up and stay focused on your outcomes will answer or the god of ‘I am not enough the world sucks’ will answer. It is true though.
Question:
Where is the subconscious located?
Gary:
It is located through every cell of your body. Now, there is some great research that has been done by Deprak Chopra(??) and some other people that have done work on the mind-body connection and the same cellular structures that are within the brain is attached to every single cell of the body. There is vast research being currently done, there is a new book out called ‘the molecules of emotion’ which I have just purchased and I am about to read. It is all about how the subconscious mind is throughout the body.
Comment:
So there is a difference between the subconscious and the conscious that has been scientifically proven?
Gary:
I think it is being proven. I don’t know if it will ever be proven from the prospective.. it is beyond hard science. When you think of the fact that they have only been studying mind for the last 50 years so they really don’t know a lot. The mind is really the last frontier for research and they really don’t know. There is more neurological connections in the body than there are grains of sand on all beaches of our planet. I don’t think they actually know. They have done tests where they have scraped the inside of the mouth of an individual and put cells in a petri-dish take it over to a laboratory 5 miles away, put galvactic skin-response tests on the cells of the person and the person is watching porno and the cells like 5 miles away are reacting. It is got to be that there is mind in every cell. If the cells can respond to what the body is doing 5 miles away it must be that those cells have communicative capabilities to the rest of the body.
Comment:
That brushes into the realm of believes, right? It has not really proven?
Gary:
There is hard science backing up the fact that we are very quantum in our prospective. How do we have knowledge of things happening outside of the realm of our physical body? How does Tricia do what she does? How does she do that? How does she kind of tap in and starts hearing your higher self?
Question:
Do we really need to separate conscious from subconscious mind?
Gary:
I think that the difference between the conscious and the subconscious mind is that the conscious mind is simply what you are aware of at this moment. The subconscious mind is everything that is not aware of at this moment. It is also more vast in that because it runs the body. I think that we are the individuated creative aspects of God incased in a body and non-definable by science. And so we are vast possibilities to create anything that we focus on. The problem is that most of us are focused on life based upon our conditioning and those are the only lenses we are looking out from. We are not focused on what our possibilities are. When we are focused on what our possibilities are and we are relentless in that focus, really nothing can stop you.
So imagine now that we’re in the projection room and we’re going to watch the film of your life, the film from conception until now. It will take approximately 5 minutes to watch this film. The curtains are beginning to open on the screen and the one, that part of you that controls things, it begins to flip on the switch of the camera and your film begins to roll from conception to now. Start your films. Review your life as it happened from conception or birth to now. Start your films please. Do that now and let them roll.
Now being in now, we’re going to run the movie backwards. All the characters, all the internal representations of this film is going to run backwards. All the characters will be speaking backwards. All the sounds will be backwards, all the characters will be walking backwards. You will place Mickey Mouse ears on each one of them and a ballerina skirt on each one of them. Also coupled with this you will put an elephant’s trunk on the faces of every character in this film. Are you ready? Start the movie from now, run it backwards to birth and conception. Do it now. Coming to a close of your movie, bringing it to the very beginning of your time. Now imagine in the editing room as we’re reviewing your film there’s a very large white paint brush that is filled endlessly with white-out. I’m going to ask you to run your film, because I think we can make a better one. What do you think? We’re going to run your film and we’re going to white out all the frames of the film, preserving all the positive learnings from the entire span of time. Are you ready to change things? Begin now. Turn the film on. White paint brush on the film and start whiting out every single frame. Fast forwarding to now. Do that now.
Coming up on now. Frames whited out. Reach now in the next five seconds. Good. With the same white out, same brush, rewind the film, making sure all of the frames are whited out. Begin to rewind the film, whiting out and putting another coat on all the frames of the past. Rewind it now at high speed. Do that now until it’s completely white.
So as you stand at the beginning of the possibility to reimagine the characters, the pictures, sounds and feelings, creating a new sound track, creating new characters in bright, vivid color, in the color of your circle, in the color of your circle of excellence and oneness. We are going to place the qualities of that circle of oneness and we’re going to create new characters of your past where all of the characters are behaving and acting out of their circle of oneness with the heart, the compassion, the connection and the love of the essence of who they have eternally been. All characters will be performing out of their circle of oneness. And your new film will take on the color of your circle of oneness. Create this new film in bright vivid color with every character acting out of their highest connection to whatever is divine in life. When you’re ready on the count of three you will begin your new film based in the color and the qualities of your circle of oneness. One, two, and three. Begin reimagining your life now. Now rewind your film at high speed back to the beginning. Do it now. On the count of 5 we’ll be at the beginning again. One, two, three, four and five. Back at the beginning.
Now we’re going to run your film through again. This time we’re adding Steven Spielberg special effects, the highest quality of special effects. Thx sound. Make it three dimentional. Make wind blowing. Make symphonies playing. You are just going to enhance these pictures so vividly, so powerfully with so much emotion into every single aspect of this film. When you are ready, run the film through again and put in the most amazing colors in the color of your circle of oneness and each character acting out of the script of following their circle of oneness. Run the film again please. Enhance every frame. More powerful. More loving. More kind.
Now that we’ve created new internal representations of your past, let’s bring this process to a gentle close and begin coming back into the room.
Now why and how does this process actually work? The only way you know that you’re you is by the pictures, sounds and feelings in your head. That’s it! You’ve got eye patterns that retrieve your memories and go, ‘remember – this is who you are.’ What if your eye patterns retrieve memories where all you saw was your circle of oneness flowing through every single memory of your past? If you imagine vividly enough your past your subconscious mind and nervous system does not know the difference between what actually happened and what you reimagined. Get that. It is so important. If you consistently go to sleep at night or think during the day vivid imagination about a circumstance that happened in the past and you reimagine it to the place to where you feel it to be real – and the key word is feel it – with more powerful sensory representations, different pictures, different sounds, different feelings, what will happen is that will become your reality. You will become the artist or the architect of your past as well as your future because your past influences and directs your future. And you can build it. We can literally collapse time and make everything right now in this thought – what is my outcome. And the really wonderful aspect of what I just said is that you already do it every moment of every day. The difference is you’ve been imagining events in the future based upon the experiences of your past and therefore your past keeps recreating itself in front of you. What if you spend your time on the obsession of the story of how it’s been and yet the way it’s been has been the exact circumstances to evolve you and what if you spend your life blaming, regretting and condemning the teachers who have shown up to show you the way? What if it all happened to show you a way? Be the love you are. Keep in the story of your outcome. Create different internal representations by imagining vividly enough to where you feel it. Different pictures, different sounds, different dialogs, different feelings.
{Join me tomorrow for more on this}
Everybody close your eyes. My invitation to you is, think of a memory from your past and as you think of that memory just notice the pictures, sounds and feelings of that memory and notice the direction from which those pictures, sounds and feelings are coming to you and point to the direction please. Just imagine your past in front of you now. Ask your subconscious mind to take your past and move it directly behind you. Ask your subconscious mind to swing around from in front of you, retaining all of the positive learning’s in front of you, and swing the past to behind you. Place the past behind you now and imagine your subconscious mind moving your past from in front of you to behind you and locking it into place. How does it feel to have the past behind you?
Think of something very compelling for your future. Notice the direction that future event is coming to you from and point to it please. Make a picture of that internal representation of your future outcome that you’ve been going for, that one yesterday. Make a picture of it. Put sounds in it. Put emotions in it. Create it in your own mind because you are the architect of your future. The best way to predict the future is to create it. Now I’m going to ask you, just looking at that picture of your outcome, that picture of you being the you that you know you’re destined to be, I’m going to ask you now to step into it. Imagine yourself now, you were looking at it before, now step into it. Associate into it. Feel what it feels like to be you already expressed, already expanded, already realized. Step into it and feel it. Breathe in. Breathe in the color of that picture, the sensations, the fragrance, the tastes of that picture. Just step into it and be it.
Now imagine stepping out of it, putting that picture in a frame, looking at yourself feeling what it feels like to be that and have that picture before you. You’re holding it with both hands, this picture of your outcome, of the power to know that you are now consciously creating with the tools you have now your destiny. Imagine floating up above yourself at now, seeing your future timeline stretch out wherever it is and imagine your past time line stretching out wherever it is for you. And imagine these two lines stretching out from your body representing your subconscious mind’s representation and allocation of all the events that have occurred or will occur in time for you in this lifetime. And imagine yourself floating higher and higher and higher and higher above yourself at now, seeing your past, seeing your future, holding the picture of your outcome. Now take a breath, big inhale and blow the color of your circle of excellence into the picture on your exhale. Blow it in. And colorize and accentuize and energize that picture even more. Take another breath and blow that energy into your picture. That’s right. Blow it in. Float back in time above your time line to the very beginning of your life. Float back in time. That’s right. Now take your picture and float down on that time line and install the picture right in the middle of your past time line, as if your past time line could be running through that picture of your future outcome and your knowledge that now you know how to consciously create your future from this moment forward. Good. Now as if we had you in a time machine, I’m going to count to three. On the count of three you’re going to take your picture and you’re going to shoot like you’ve been shot through a cannon, colorizing your past with all of the colors of your now knowledge that you are the master of how you create your reality. You will color your entire past, every image, every event, every circumstance, every relationship with the knowledge of who you are and your power to co-create your universe with the colors of your outcome picture. As we move toward now this picture will colorize all of your past events. Are you ready? On the count of three you will shoot like a missile into your future from birth up until now colorizing all the events and all the relationships with your new now knowledge of consciously creating your reality. On the count of 3. One, two and three. All the way to now. Very good.
Float up above your time line holding the picture, look back on your past and see the new colors of your past. Float back in time again. Go to the very beginning, just like you did the first time. Float down to your birth and install the picture with all the emotions, all the knowledge, all the power, all the wisdom, all the will. Install the picture. Very good. On the count of 3 we’re going to put another coat of the colors of your ability to co-create your world into your past. On the count of three. One, two and three.
Influencing and generating new beliefs, new possibilities, new perceptions, from the point of conception till now, future pacing this out into future with the knowledge and understanding that your past now is completely influenced and impregnated with the knowledge and the knowhow of how to constantly create your future. From above now with the same picture, even more powerful, take a breath, blow more of the emphasis of the color of your circle of power and oneness into this picture again, further enhancing it, further empowering it. Take another breath, blow it in, and as you blow it in watch the colors get more magnificent, and the outcome become even richer and more realized. Blow another breath in. Now take this new empowered picture and float back in time for a third coat of this color and this power through your past. Float back in time to the very beginning please. Very good. Install it into your birth, into your time line. Install it into your time line with the colors even more emphasized and more empowering now. Very good. Now, on the count of three, the third coat. One, two and three. Very good.
Being at now, float down into now and install the picture into your future time line and I’m going to ask you now to move out into your future time line and simply, reverently and sacredly install this picture in your future in a place that feels the most comfortable for the manifestation of it. It may be tomorrow, it may be next week, it may be next month or next year or five years from now. Whichever feels ecologically comfortable to you. Walk out in your mind on your future time line and install this outcome picture in the place where you are choosing to have it manifested. Go do that now and lock it into place. Take three deep breaths, class. Another. And another. Very good. Thank your subconscious mind for its willingness and when you’re ready begin to come back into the room. On the count of three you’ll open your eyes. One, two, and three.
How do you feel? Look at your past and what does it look like? Pink, blue, green. Good. I could spend another hour talking to you about submodalities and modalities and the power of submodalities and why they work and how they work and what they do to the nervous system and go very in depth into what we’re doing here. My highest choice is to just give you experiences and say, ‘Run with this.’ You’re choosing to know the in-depth intricacies of what, how and how to enhance even more. The NLP practitioner training is really the place to learn that. This is a training where I’m just grazing the surface of NLP and you can see how powerful it is.
{More tomorrow}
