We take on roles that are "personas", where we adopt all the behaviors as if it was actually who we are.  We can, however, take on more powerful personas, on purpose, knowing also who we actually are.  We can also assume "ways of being" that give us more powerful ways of living life.

LIFE - A CHOICE OF HOW WE LIVE IT - Our programs for survival, especially those formulated naively as a child, must be reviewes and redone - or we get to live the life of a child.We can live a life where we operate from beliefs that work and from a paradigm of what works, instead of right/wrong, good/bad.  This piece tells us how we can live it much, much more effectively.

          INTERNAL TRIANGLE 

Knowing this model and how these pieces work together can make the difference between operating at a lower level and operating at the highest in life and for happiness.  We derived certain strategies and beliefs that were very poorly thought out and are very dysfunctional - and it is our job to use this model and process to elevate them to highly functional.  LOOK AT THIS FIRST.

     Inner Child - Do We Really Have One?    
     The Outer Child - This is "The Other" Us that we create to protect us, but which can
