You have to see the well theory to understand it. I’ll draw you a picture. Over they years I have drawn hundreds of these examples of how the well looks. I haven’t been able to use any other diagram that works as well. I’m sure there a lot of these examples hanging around as I typically give them as take home assignments.

We all have a well inside us. This well is very deep. In the middle of the well are the things that we know about ourselves. At the very bottom of the well are the things that we do not know about ourselves. These two parts of the well are what our emotional brains use to tell us how to behave.

When something happens to us, it goes into to emotional well looking for directions on how to behave. It finds similar events for emotions and uses those old patterns to tell us how to behave today. We are unaware this is actually happening, it happens so fast.

When our minds find a favorable or even unfavorable event we will reacting according to the conditioning, or belief system, we have associated with the current event.

We will act in predictable and very normal ways.

When something happen to us that touches something that is in the unknown part of our well, the lower regions of our well, what comes out is odd and strange behavior.

The goal is having a well where you move as much of the items you can from the lower regions of your well into the known part of your well. This takes time and must be done by thinking about the events of your past.

When you release an item that you are thinking about, a new item will replace the current memory. This happens because when you release think about your past, the emotions connected to the old event are released and it allows for a new memory, usually previously unknown, to show up.

This truly works!
