Clarence Kokzuh-Poffen, is affectionately known as ‘The Cleaner.’ This particular Coddle-Popper has a very unique talent, where he can take any limited thought, and turn it on its head to a positive. He cleans our stinking thinking, and turns our ’can’ts’ into beautiful shiny ‘cans’.

Clarence Kokzuh-Poffen has offered to share his technique (for us to help ourselves), to release our self-imposed mental limitations (especially when it comes to taking action). Please grab a pen and piece of paper.

1. Make a list of our limitations. Phrase up to five statements (or more), all beginning with the two words ‘I can’t.’ (I can’t do this, I can’t do that, I can’t this, and I can’t that). 

We start by owning our ‘I can’t’ thoughts. In focusing on our ‘I can’t’ thoughts (our intention is to deliberately create what it is that we hold in our mind, so as to gain a bit of control over it). 

Start with the first statement on our list. Example: (Statement of Rufus Gruffybritches, a student in the art of clearing limitations. He’s always wanted to be a videographer, but doesn’t do it because he doesn’t believe he can). His statement is: ‘I can’t be a videographer.’ 

Whatever our statement is, we close our eyes and focus on it. We fully own that particular ‘I can’t…’ (allow time to get into it). 

Example (Rufus Gruffybritches): I can’t be a videographer. 

We visualize it (as we think the thought) deliberately, and on purpose (It tends not to come up  automatic or subconsciously). The key is to bring our ‘I can’t…’ into our consciousness.

2. Own it deeply. By getting deeper into it, we take more responsibility for it. This is achieved by rephrasing the limitation with, ‘I don’t want.’ 

So, instead of, ‘I can’t,’ we say, ‘I don’t want…’ as if it were our responsibility (like we’re the one creating it), it’s a deeper level of owning. We pretend that it’s not that we ‘can’t’ do it, it’s that we don’t ‘want’ to do it. (Rufus Gruffybritches’ example: I don’t want to be a videographer).

We do this and give ourself time to get into it (it may take a while to get into the feeling of NOT wanting it). Even if this seems silly, it will be true (on some level), that some aspect of us doesn’t want it, otherwise (if we really wanted it), we’d already be doing it. By focusing on the idea of, ‘I don’t want… (whatever our item is), this gives us a sense of empowerment when compared with ‘I can’t,’ where we’re the victim). With, ‘I don’t want,’ we are ‘of Source’. We’re responsible for everything in our life.

Underlying this, ‘I don’t want’ we should feel an emotional pain or frustration (which we may have already felt that by now), but just in case we haven’t, this next step will get us deeper.

3. Get even deeper, right into the frustration/pain/emotion underlying this issue. The way to do that is to become more involved with that issue, and let the emotion come up and out with the ‘because’. ‘I don’t want… because…’

We ask ourself, why don’t we want that? What’s the reason? There’s usually a reason, or payoff as to why our subconscious does not want this. As we do this, answer the question with, ‘because,’ and see what emotions come up. Allow the emotions to come up and pass through (don’t push away, don’t resist). 

Rufus Gruffybritches’ example: I don’t want to be a videographer because… (insert thought)… I’m not good enough.

There might be many reasons come up (reasons WE don’t want, reasons SOMEONE ELSE might not want that, reasons why we don’t want to play along, and pretend. We find out what’s below that, and FEEL whatever kind of frustration/emotion, perhaps some shame/guilt/fear, resignation/anger or some kind of stress.

The way to release these emotions is by allowing them to come up and out by FEELING the emotion (just sitting and breathing with the emotion), rather than suppressing them with thought. If we can release one emotion, we release a thousand thoughts. With that, there might be a pain in our chest/stomach/forehead/solar plexus (where most of the emotions are stored, beneath all the thought rubbish). Allow the emotion to come up. 

‘I don’t want… because…’ is to allow the emotions to come up and pass through. We let them run out by FEELING what is there, instead of pushing back down or ignoring it. FEEL what’s there. We are a part of Source. We’re bigger than those emotions. We’re their observer. We permeate those emotions, and expand far, and wide outside of those emotions. We’re ‘of Source,’ there’s nothing to be afraid of. Some of us might get tears (that’s okay, that’s release), then once we’ve let the emotions run out. We go to the next step. 

Rufus Gruffybritches’ example: I don’t want to be a videographer because… it’s so much stress, because… my movies are actually boring, because… I just want recognition that I’ve never received, because…I’m not good enough, and because… I’m a pretender (examples of the emotions that would come up). 

4. Rephrase our statement to the empowered statement. (The final step). Once the emotions are somewhat cleared, we rephrase our statement to the empowered statement, which is ‘I can’ (I can be a videographer, I can make good films). 

We close our eyes and hold the thought ‘I can…’ (whatever our topic is), this is the empowered opposite of the ‘I can’t,’ (which is now much easier to focus on because we’ve released the old). 

In true Coddle-Popper tradition, it’s a very simple technique. We just have to take the time and awareness to do it slowly, step by step. We focus on ‘I can…’ (Rufus Gruffybritches’ example: I can be a GOOD videographer), and if we want to add some spice to it, we add ‘because.’ The word because supports it emotionally, so ‘I can… because…’ the more reasons we come up with why we can do it, the better! 

We focus on this thought longer than the other ones because these are the thoughts we’d like to turn into habit, and we’d like to emotionalize ‘I can if I really, really, want to.’ 

‘I can… because…’ we really give ourself plenty of time to get into it, to feel it, see it, name reasons for it. Why we think we CAN do that?

At least now we get to understand how Clarence Kokzuh-Poffen became ‘The Cleaner.’ For those that are wondering, Rufus Gruffybritches overcame his ‘stinking thinking’ and is now in charge of the social media of ‘The Land of the Little People’ Band. Those of us that have signed up for the Newsletter are quite likely to come across some of his work in the very near future.

Clarence Kokzuh-Poffen Summary:

We feel better (afterwards) than before. We started out with a feeling of limitation and we ended up with either relief, or a sense of empowerment (real strength). In this same manner, we rinse and repeat our entire list of ‘I can’t’ items.

One at a time, we take our ‘I can’t’ item, and focus on the ‘I can’t.’ We then go one step deeper, and rephrase it to ‘I don’t want,’ and focus on that. The third step is ‘I don’t want… because,’ and as we focus there, we bring up all the feelings. We let them run out and/or through until we’re okay. The fourth step is to rephrase it to ‘I can.’ We focus on the ‘I can’ until we feel a sense of empowerment or relief. You’re welcome.
