The Butt System

Larry's Butt System is ingenious. By making a goal to achieve something through releasing alone brings up all of our resistance. More importantly though it brings up all the rules we have for success.

We all have them, those rules or prerequisutes. I have to be better educated in order to succeed. I have to be better looking, smarter, have more opportunities, release better, be more spiritual. When you make a goal like "I allow myself to have a gazillion dollars by releasiing alone" you recognize that those are all beliefs, self-imposed limitations and you can begin to let them go.

But there is another side of it that I see all the time. And that is the tendency of the mind to make a new rule. And the rule is this. In order to get the gazillion dollars (or pounds, or francs or whatever) I CAN"T do anything. In ortherwords if I make the goal to acheive the thing by releasing alone I somehow jinx it if I actualy do something.

This is a big mistake. I hope you can see that this is just the creation of another rule. The point of the butt systems isn't to never have you get off your butt but to let go of the notion that you have to. That is has to be a lot of work and struggle. You don't and it doesn't. It can all come to you. But you also have to be willing to get off your butt and do something as well.

Oftentimes when you really do release on something, the way it comes to you is through action. You may get a great idea for a business or a product or an article or whatever. You may get an intuition to call someone, go somewhere and have a coffee and strike up a conversation. If you are convinced that it just has to come in some extraordinary way you have cut all the ordinary ways out of the equation. And folks, there are a whole lot more ordinary ways for new success to come into your life than extraordinary.

To really be in release means you can sit on your butt or get off of it. Not one or the other, but either. You are free to respond to the moment whatever the moment requires.

If you take a big step back you'll see that everything actually does just come to us. Everything! That is how it actually works. The ego thinks it has done something but in fact it has come to us from the universe in response to our deepest request. So even if it appears that you have to do a lot to get it, that is just an appearance. Let that interpretation go and you'll see that everything does come to you. Its just that sometimes it brings you to the reward instead of the reward to you.

Does it matter which way it happens? Absolutely not. So let yourself be free on your butt or off of it.

Comment by Mário [Hootless Crew] on April 28, 2010 at 4:26am: Yes, the Butt System is a summarized version of Goals part in Goals and Resistance, and Goals and resistance should be called "Resistance and Goals", as the main focus is to use goals and other stuff to release resistance.
If I have one goal and just want to manifest it I use the Butt System. There's a 1 hour main cd to use with your goal and 4 or 5 cleanups showing different ways to work on that goal.
The Goals and Resistance is a 4-5 weeks process to learn to find and release tons of resistance that are hiding in different places. If I am not getting the goal just using the butt system, it means that the resistance is too much, so I would go through the Goals and resistance using this one goal.

Comment by GP Walsh on April 27, 2010 at 3:57pm: That is an interesting question. i can't speak for Larry but I think the butt system is designed to open people up to what is possible and expose our limiting beliefs. He doesn't go into goals much in the butt system recording (if I remember correctly, I haven't listened to it in a while).

But of course the goals and resistance course is also designed to expose limiting beliefs as beliefs, in order to let them go. The thing wanted that prompted the goal then gets stripped of its emotional charge (or want if you prefer). So you are free to have or not have and not lose the sense of well-being. Then goals happen because there is a natural energy that makes things happen.

So I think they are just a different approach to the same thing. I find in my coaching practice that I will flip back and forth between goals and no goals depending on the person (and the day) until they get that neither side is right or wrong, just different perspectives on the same thing. And that thing is you.

The important thing is to not get stuck anywhere but to flow between the absolute and relative as needed.

Comment by Warren [Hootless Crew] on April 27, 2010 at 1:40pm: How does Larry's BUTT system program fit in with his Goals & Resistance program? Is the BUTT system a shortened version or a primer of G&R or does the BUTT system contain different processes?

Comment by Mário [Hootless Crew] on April 26, 2010 at 5:55pm: Exactly. The ego doesn't want to shift its perception about what hootless really means. It's not about getting the goal. It is about using the goal to bring up the anti-winning programs, as you pointed out. If you are still working on goals to get the goals, there's no way to be hootless about it until this perception changes. The goal might happen or not, but if you have not completely released the goal itself, the remaining limitations will just float to a different subject. We must achieve the goal to prove not only that we can, but that the goal is not what makes you happy. When we have enough of our goals, we will see that exterior stuff is not what makes us happy and we will direct our focus to where happiness really is.
