Harmony Program Part 9
Behaviour problems are inherently and structurally different
from health problems in many ways. They are often linked, of
course, and I would encourage you to remember our planes model
and to give serious thought to Hard reasons for behaviour
disorders – the usual mismanagement, environmental conditions,
bad feeding, underlying health or structural or physiological
problems in conjunction with genetic predispositions towards
expressing behaviours that are often species and breed-line
specific.
True behaviour problems always arise as a result from an
individual animal having a disturbed map of the world, created
by trauma or drop-by-drop chipping away at the individual’s
original map over time.
Behaviour problems respond to love energy like a parching man in
the desert will respond to the offer of water.
Love energy, based on the deepest possible connect and deepest
possible regard for the Immortal Beloved as we discussed earlier
in the course, is my first choice intervention for any behaviour
problem.
Simply, the worse the problem, the more love the creature needs
to find a new balance within themselves and to begin to want to
really live again.
Sometimes, we are the first one in many years, if ever, that
could reach into that creatures darkness and loneliness and give
it very literally a ray of hope.
Find any creature at all that might be appropriate for you to
give a ray of hope – a loving, that special energy of love from
one living, sentient being to another. This may be a zoo animal,
a kennelled animal, an animal that you know of and that suffers
in the darkness, or it may be a bitter little old lady who lives
in your street – structurally and technically, it matters not.
This is a distance healing exercise, so please create the
meeting space as discussed in Unit 8 and invite the creature to
join you there.
Look upon it and leave its physicality as it presents to you
behind and meet the Immortal Beloved in the other.
Allow yourself to love them. I know that that is easier
said than done, for we too have our fears of loving. Accept what
you can give and receive and see if you cannot release some of
your old limitations today and love more, more and more until
you breach the threshold into total brilliance and love is,
indeed, all there is.
Please Note: Do what you can. I ask never any more
of you than you are ready, able and willing to give. If you
cannot breach the threshold as yet or if fears assail you at
this point, it is as it is and the beginning, not the end. Try
this exercise often and be gentle and loving with yourself,
allowing yourself the time you need to grow into love.
This concludes the first part of The Harmony Programme. In the
second part, we will consider communicating with animals,
training and animal emotions in the context of the Harmony
Programme.
Please give the exercises in this Unit your very best attention.
I would also ask that you really observe power-based
interactions that exist all around you and become familiar with
how love and power are rationed out, withheld, and generally
used to shape behaviour and to entrain individuals.

Dear Reader.
The Harmony Program is one of the most important things I have
discovered in my quest to seek a better understanding of how the
Universe works than I had been offered by my various well
meaning teachers alive and across the centuries.
I have always had problems with charging for this discovery or
should I say, re-discovery of a truth about the World and our
interactions within it. The Harmony Program, if it was known and
understood, would absolutely revolutionise not just dog training
– indeed, and as much as I love dogs, it is not even here it is
needed the most.
Every single day, everywhere where Western ideologies are in
place, little babies, disabled children, delinquents, old
people, sick people, all people are being treated with dominance
reduction and behaviourism. They still give and withold Smarties
and privileges to seriously mentally handicapped, helpless
individuals, for Heaven’s sake. It is the accepted practise
everywhere and it perpetuates so much suffering in so many
different ways, it is literally scary.
Not everybody “gets” the Harmony Program.
Some people do and have done, a long time before I got to it but
it was never properly written up like I’ve done as far as I
know. A S Neill, for example, the famous founder of the
Summerhill School, used to cure delinquent children way back in
the 1950’s by paying them for every time they wet the bed or
broke a pane of glass and their behaviour would stop, too – as
if by magic.
This is just one of a billion possible applications of the
Harmony Program.
Therefore, I offer this paper to you with all
copyright restrictions removed and for full public distribution.
You can share this with anyone and everyone, freely, and I would
encourage you to do so.
This information
needs to be out there. Every single care officer, dog trainer,
parent, teacher, healer, psychologist who gets even a little
glimpse of the possibilities here for healing, growth and change
and tries it out, no matter how half heartedly at first, is one
more human who can help stem the tides of negativity we are
perpetuating each and every day into the next generations and
beyond by our lack of understanding of the basic idea that
needs need to be filled in order to establish happiness,
health and Even Flow.
Please pass it on.
With my best regards to you and all those who look to gain
attention from you, and love,
