The greatest tool I received, as a conscious co-creator, was the ‘Domains of Language.' Knowing the domains of language make it easy to see where I am in consciousness each and every moment. Additionally, conscious language's commitments and agreements with life has taught me how to easily move through any feeling or limited belief and birth them into my highest choice. I use conscious language each and every moment of my life, and I wake up each day recommitting to my agreements with life; Playing at 125%, Being Fully and completely present, being honest, being on purpose, being a committed listening, agreeing to win and empowering others to win creating win/win, etc. I watch my language patterns, my body sensations, my thoughts, and my feelings continuously in order to stay committed to my agreements with life.
Instead of seeing my beliefs as ‘truths' about the way things are, I saw them as my previous choices being reflected back to me so I had an opportunity to repeat them or choose again. Realizing my power of choice, I upgraded my world rapidly.
My life before Conscious Language was experienced ‘in my head.' Even my emotions were guessed at by my mind, as in ‘I feel that... or I feel like...' I was a prisoner of my language, my thoughts. Ironically, it was language that freed me from my self-imposed tyranny, Conscious Language.
I moved from using vague and grandiose words, and began to use specific outcome oriented speech. As I teach/train myself to become more and more specific in my life I experience greater levels of joy with my self, my family, and my work. Becoming specific and knowing what I am feeling each and every moment has been the greatest blessing in my life. I have experienced blessing upon blessing since I have began to speak specifically. My daily life has become easier, communication with my wife has become easier, and my relationship with my parents has become a great joy.

Beliefs are imaginary tools which give us a sense of understanding life. Mastery has taught me that my beliefs are shaped by the words I choose in the language I speak. If I desire to change the outcome of my reality I can choose the words which will shape my beliefs and ultimately my reality.
My greatest benefit in my personal life was that the first training in 1986 gave me the impetus to create a natural and organic products company in Austin, Texas, which flourished in abundance and prosperity for 15 years. During these years, my co-workers were able to live in an atmosphere of love and respect unlike the typical contemporary concept of a corporation in the business world. Conscious Language anchored me in my desired outcome to provide healthy and organic products to health food stores with a loving team of co-workers assisting me. Since I had no idea previously how to start my own business, I knew that committing to a goal of finding my spiritual path would facilitate the challenges ahead. I so committed.
What impressed me the most was a tool called agreements, especially, the agreement to be drug and alcohol free for the weekend. I believed I could survive one weekend without any beer. The real challenge came three months later at one of this man's five day seminars when he explained agreements can be functional for all types of relationships as well as for us personally. He set forth the challenge to be drug and alcohol free for the rest of our lives. My girlfriend and I accepted the challenge and I incorporated this agreement as one of mine. Ten years later I have many friends a small Spiritual community and many successes in my life. My children and I have fun in every activity we participate in. I am committed daily to my highest choices and I maintain my sobriety and consciousness through the power of agreements. P.M. Realtor
Bob's teachings will assist you in recognizing old belief systems which no longer serve you. You will listen to your inner guidance, and your internal dialogue. Whatever outcome you choose to create will manifest. How exciting, that as co-creators we touch other's lives on our journey homeward. Thank you, Bob. P.J.G. Healing Arts
Bob is an amazing human being. I feel honored and blessed to call him my friend and mentor. I love Bob as a human being and he is at the top my list of people with integrity, humor, sincerity, love, and intelligence. He is a brilliant, artful facilitator who has given me practical, useful tools and technologies that have uplifted my life. I am more conscious and more deeply feeling as a result of using conscious language. I share conscious language with students, friends and anyone who demonstrates enthusiasm for learning and evolving spiritually.
Bob is a facilitator extraordinaire! I have participated in several of Bob's classes and they have changed my life in the most uplifting and positive ways. I will be ever grateful for his guidance and clear direction. Now that I am more conscious of my thoughts and words (internal and external) I eliminated the word like from my speech. Especially the phrase, ‘I feel like'. I realized, with Bob's help, I was avoiding my feelings by feeling like something rather than actually feeling. For example, I feel like having fun. Now I would say, I am having more fun every moment or I am having so much fun etc...
One of the coolest and most useful things I learned is...specificity brings up feelings and when I speak my feelings with specificity I am powerful, clear and loving. My result is people like and trust me more and they like bring around me. Yes! A.H. Artist, Song Writer-Singer, Life Coach
In order to be successful, our language must be successful. Our language is successful when our words, thoughts, and intentions behind our thoughts are aligned. Conscious Language, and Mastery of Language gives us tools and techniques for becoming consciously aware and aligned with our innermost intentions and desires, and helps us upgrade and express ourselves more powerfully and successfully into our world.

I've been working with Bob for 9-10 years. I consider Bob and his now deceased wife, Helena, to be true kindred spirits and deep friends. I have taken more classes than I can remember and have gone on his (in)famous dolphin swim. Bob's technology is profound, and once learned, can be done anywhere, any place, for FREE...so classes or sessions are a lasting investment. As well as his tools, Bob radiates PRESENCE and it is clear to all who have sat in a class, spiritual forces other than Bob's ego are at work. The air is energized and electric, in a most positive way.
Conscious Language showed me clearly how much of my life was lived on auto pilot, based on beliefs that were often the result of unconscious programming. Two concepts that radically changed my life were, I CAN (instead of I can't)...and I CHOOSE. In other words, it was the funeral of my VICTIM CONSCIOUSNESS. Another very useful tool has been imagining out from something, seeing it as a done deal and projecting out: 6 mo., 1 year, 5 years, 10 years...What's new and different about my life now?? (answer is first person, present tense, and detail specific). Oh!...and CREATING my day, qualitatively choosing and planning what to feel before the day ever starts.
One of the blessings of Bob's classes is the wonderful group of friends from around the country that you find yourself having. Perhaps Bob's greatest strength is his ability to transmit the belief that your greatest weakness is actually, YOUR GREATEST STRENGTH becoming. My advice for fellow travelers on the path is SHOW MERCY; first for yourself because it is easy to feel overwhelmed with vast amounts of new information and a new operating system, instead of beating yourself up when you forget (AGAIN), develop an appreciative eye: be grateful that at last you are NOTICING! This is 80% of your work. And show mercy to others, who may not know what you know. When you leave a class on fire, it is easy to think you have a gift for the world, AND YOU DO! but remember, there is a time for everything. Choose to develop mentoring skills, not TORMENTING skills.

I live much of my weekdays in my art classroom with children ranging from 3 years old to 12 years old. Close to five hundred children, accompanied by their classroom teacher, come to my room each week. How fortunate I am to have so many teachers! It is here where I tend my garden of conscious beings! ‘The Language of Creativity Spoken Here' is a sign on my door. The very first day of school I teach the children "I can, I am, I will, I chose, I have, I love, I create, I enjoy." Every one of my students has the Language of Creativity in them. They LOVE saying it and will say it on their own while they are doing their art. I tell them that any thing they say that starts with The Language of Creativity, they can create AND that THEY ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE. Their first day with me is letting them know, "you are the source of the wonder that is you and I am here to supply you with what I know and have, to realize your wonderfulness every day, and how you can make a difference in your world and in the whole world too." They love hearing this!
My specific account of one of the more profound influences speaking conscious language to children addresses their habitual language patterns of "I can't", I don't know, understand, see, have." (all the don'ts), "I messed up", "I made a mistake", "It's no good", "I want to throw it away," "I don't want to," or just plain whining! This is truly the language of limitation and dead ends, in the past. And at the same time, these language patterns are the doorways to personal choice, specificity, self-empowerment, creativity, inspiration, self-motivation, and personal sense experience.
So how does it actually play out? It is as simple as responding to "I don't know' with "Do you choose to know?" Most of the time, the child's pattern is interrupted by this language shifter and they stop and look at me and say "What?" They have (in the past) either; been shut up, controlled, or rescued from their limiting self. I invite them into the dimension of "I can make a new choice here."
For me, Conscious Language in teaching provides a definite structure through which learning can travel through with greater ease. Learning becomes an acknowledgement of where I am on the learning curve and what I require to advance. Not knowing is not shameful or embarrassing. It is the point of choosing to know and move forward. Conscious Language and Imagination activation provide programs and structure for moving a student into their own learning and their own creativity. When they speak their choice, they become little masters of their life and this is very good and beautiful.
This kind of conversation goes on for me with many students every day. After teaching 32 years, I see this as an indication of the many students who are hungry for this authentic participation in their own life. Their words help me lead their way to their most creative and intelligent and confident self. Conscious language is a masterful and easy to use tool to travel the daily road of teaching. I am known in my school district as speaking The Language of Mastery, and among my friends and other people I chance to meet. I am an inventor. Words are now clay, paint to me. I form them to feel and sound and reflect my highest choices. I play with them like, pieces of fabric arranged in different ways to make a beautiful quilt. I honor words and their power and select carefully, and it IS fun and easy. There is no such thing as the wrong word anymore. I used to be afraid of using the wrong word! Now, my language is a metamorphosis. Any words I speak transform into language worthy of my highest choices. How do I know my words work? I feel myself deep breathing slowly, I feel my relaxed jaw, my relaxed abdomen, my strong legs, my flexible fingers my focus, my ability to play in my imagination and especially, how I am reflected in the eyes and lives of those who are with me. I feel my healthy life moment to moment to moment continuously. I know by what I hear being said to me and in my joy being reflected in the joy of my students.
My greatest benefit of Conscious Language is the quality of my communication with my children. My sons were nine and five when I first learned conscious language in 1995. From then until now we have learned to speak to one another with wholehearted trust and honesty. We know how to dialogue with one another so there is only win/win, we are each committed to understanding the truth in what the other is saying, and we know the other has our best interest at heart. Also, I know my boys will be going into the world speaking in open honest, direct, outcome producing language. Priceless (THANK YOU ROBERTO)
The Universe rearranges itself to accommodate our picture of reality. We communicate the pictures we carry through the words we express. When I speak consciously I get conscious results. B.C. Transpersonal Psychotherapist, Workshop Leader
Conscious Language taught me that I had very heavy negative beliefs and I was sabotaging myself and was my own worst enemy when it came to going forward in life. Some of these negative beliefs were my parent's beliefs. I was at the time unconscious/out of touch with what came out of my mouth. I had very negative thoughts. It was very painful to get in touch and change these negative words, which were connected to thoughts, which were connected to emotions! I stumbled with every thought and word at first and eventually it became easier for me to speak a masterful language. The energy of being in touch with my words, thoughts and emotions allowed me to finally live in the MOMENT! I was unconscious just living in the past with pain and fearing the future.
My first mastery class Bob said, "Would you jump in her boat?" (Meaning, if you were drowning and needed to be saved, whose boat would you jump in to feel safe and secure?) It was very painful realizing that even I would not jump in my own boat. This statement was embedded in my brain. Through conscious creative language I can now attest that I would jump into my boat and I know many others who would jump into my boat. I even think Bob might jump into my boat!!
Conscious Language is ever simple and yet ever powerful. Each word when using conscious language is felt by the emotional body. With conscious language all possibilities in your life are an open door. Your whole life is a new and exciting adventure. The miracles happen and then they HAPPEN! You open up awareness within that will never be closed and will lead you on your life's journey. Love and compassion enfold you daily. You are bathed in the blessings of Light and Love and all see your brilliance. You see who you really ARE. Others treat you the way you choose to be treated. Your whole life takes a quantum leap into the realms where only the courageous enter. The brilliance of your masterful life is beyond description. You enjoy life as you did when you were a child. At times you love for life is soooo full you think you are going to take off! This is the word and the way and it is GOOD! M.H. Government, Massage Therapist
