Stephen Dupree of NowEnergetics.com discusses the YUEN Method® and the power of neutrality in addressing personal issues, particularly those related to perceived untruths and symptoms. He introduces an article titled "Liar Liar Pants on Fire," which explores the energetic implications of truth and deception.

Dupree posits that if an individual experiences a problem or discomfort, it signifies a lack of knowledge of the truth, as knowing the truth would inherently strengthen the situation and lead to improvement. He notes that many individuals are bothered by what they perceive as lies or untruths, but the energetic approach emphasizes neutrality towards these statements.

The core principle is that the information itself, rather than its veracity, often causes distress. A struggle arises from the duality of what is true and what is not, leading to an inability to accept either, which can impede personal improvement.

Energetic Impact of Information

Dupree outlines the energetic impact of receiving information based on a random group of people:

• Directly told information affects individuals five times more strongly.
• Hearing information affects them three times more strongly.
• Reading information affects them two times more strongly.

These varying levels of impact necessitate a layered approach to clearing, often addressing the most significant effects first or clearing them abstractly.

The Paradox of Truth and Pain

A specific client session highlighted a counterintuitive finding: the client was energetically weakened not by lies, but by truth. This phenomenon, explored in Dupree's article "When Knowing is Painful," suggests that many individuals subconsciously avoid truth because past experiences of knowing the truth were more painful than remaining ignorant. Their underlying energy may even attract situations that align with this preference for deception, leading them to complain about untruths while their energy is paradoxically aligned with avoiding the truth.

In this client's case, ancestral experiences where knowing the truth led to negative outcomes created a weakness. The client struggled to acknowledge, accept, and shift this energetic pattern when presented with the truth of their weaknesses.

Coping Mechanisms and Energetic Blocks

The session also addressed the client's coping mechanisms, described as a cumulative pile of "dirt" that will eventually resurface with greater intensity. The YUEN Method® aims to delete these cumulative effects to prevent future energetic explosions. When an individual's energy is aligned with deception, it attracts more deceptive situations, creating a larger energetic block that worsens over time when stuck in incorrect assumptions.

Shifting Perspective: The Other Person's Problem

Logically, individuals may question why people are not expected to tell the truth. However, Dupree emphasizes that deception is fundamentally the other person's problem, not ours. By taking on the energy of deception as our own problem, we perpetuate it. The goal is to remain as neutral as possible to such situations, which ultimately energizes a new experience rather than attracting repeated instances of deception.

This perspective is not philosophical but based on energetic assessment. Following energetic weaknesses, which often trace back to personal or ancestral experiences, is crucial for effective clearing. Dupree illustrates this by stating that if one observes person A lying to person B, it is typically seen as person A's issue. However, individuals often internalize the lie as their own problem, thereby perpetuating it.

The Energetic Cost of Not Knowing

The client eventually grasped that the deception was not their primary problem, though this concept of neutrality is challenging for most. Maintaining neutrality is more likely to alter the situation, as not energizing the side of deception may lead others to cease attempting to deceive. Many instances of perceived lying stem not from intentional deceit but from individuals simply not knowing the truth, stating what they believe to be true.

The "Parrot" Phenomenon

Dupree also addresses individuals who "parrot" information without direct experience, having been taught something they believe to be true. He advises neutrality towards these "parrot people," as their information may or may not be accurate. The key is to strengthen what is found and remain neutral to the entire experience, whether the information is true or not.

Neutrality Towards Extremes

The YUEN Method® involves exploring neutrality towards extremes, such as the extreme of everyone lying versus everyone telling the truth. Often, the truth side weakens energetically, which is contrary to common expectations. This surprising revelation indicates that individuals may have been unknowingly energizing the undesired state, thus hindering improvement. The common adage "the truth hurts" carries an energetic imprint that influences this aversion to truth.

"If It Bothers You, You Did It"

Echoing a principle often discussed by Dr. Yuen, Dupree states, "If it bothers you, you did it." This implies that experiencing distress from deception suggests a past karmic involvement, either personally or ancestrally. Addressing these karmic effects and influences is essential for clearing.

Herd Consensus and Settled Beliefs

The concept of "herd consensus" is also relevant, particularly in scientific communities where opinions and parroted information, rather than direct experience, often prevail. These "settled beliefs" may change over time and may or may not be energetically true for an individual. Energetic testing is presented as the method to discern truth in a given situation, as absolute truth is often elusive.

The Fallacy of No Immediate Results

Dupree challenges the notion that immediate results are impossible, particularly in a positive sense. He argues that just as negative outcomes can occur instantaneously, so too can positive improvements. This belief that only negative immediate results are possible must be cleared to allow for positive change.

Information Weakness and Energetic Testing

Beyond the truth or falsity of information, the sheer volume of information can weaken individuals. Dupree stresses the importance of energetic testing to determine what is true for a specific situation, as general information, including that found through search engines, may be inaccurate or inapplicable.

Clearing Hidden Information and Secrets

The session concluded with a shift occurring when clearing "true or not true." The client exhibited further weakness related to "hidden things," which is a shade of lying. Hiding something is energetically worse than lying, and keeping secrets is even more detrimental, approximately ten times worse than lying. The client's own energy revealed a history of keeping significant secrets, demonstrating another instance of an energetic opposite where they complained about secrets while their energy was aligned with keeping them.

Dupree emphasizes that this area of clearing—neutrality to information, hiding, and secrets—is profound because individuals likely operate within a small fraction of "truth." Clearing these layers is crucial for personal well-being and for practitioners working with clients.
