subconscious will blurt out. Write them down. These blurts
flag your personal negative core beliefs. They hold the key
to your freedom in their ugly little claws. Make a list of your
personal blurts.
It’s time to do a little detective work. Where do your
blurts come from? Mom? Dad? Teachers? Using your list of
blurts, scan your past for possible sources. At least some of
them will spring violently to mind. One effective way to
locate the sources is to time-travel. Break your life into five-
year increments, and list by name your major influences in
each time block.
The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of
two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both
are transformed.

Paul had always wanted to be a writer. And yet, after a
brief flurry of college creativity, he stopped showing his
writing to anyone. Instead of the short stories he dreamed
of, he kept journal after journal, each following the last into
a dark drawer far from prying eyes. Why he did this was a
mystery to him until he tried working with affirmations and
blurts.
When Paul began writing his affirmations, he was
immediately shaken by an almost volcanic blast of
disparagement.
