What exactly is ARC’s Foundational Course for Living your Potential? (or: What does this product do for me?
This course presents Releasing: a very practical, easy and tangible mental process for letting go of every thought and feeling between you and the experience of Happiness, Life Control and Self-Realization.
Lester Levenson (1909-1995) is the Releasing’s discoverer and presented us with a simple and extremely effective way to have both Happiness however we define it and Self-Realization. Releasing is self-directed or do-it-yourself and can, as a rule, be learned by anyone of any age. People from age 4 to 94 have learned it.
Levenson discovered that great Masters of all ages and eras were in agreement – thoughts and feelings are what the Mind really is; thoughts and feelings make the Mind noisy; Mastership comes with quieting the noise of the Mind.
As you do this process more and more, and let go of the noisy thoughts and feelings, you experience “side effects” we call Happiness.
This Happiness comes in many forms – better health, more harmony in relationships with the world and with people, more financial abundance and more peace of mind. The process offers specific exercises to achieve improvements in each of these areas and more.

Why is the Foundational Course so expensive?
Most students have claimed to us that – if they’d known before purchasing the Course what personal power it would give back to them to control how their life unfolds – they would’ve willingly paid vastly MORE for the Course.
The Foundational Course is a complete and self-contained process that anyone can do experientially to improve one’s happiness, health, abundance and all types of relationships. You don’t need any other teachers to complete this Course.
By following the processes and techniques presented in the way they are taught, anyone can make vast improvements in any area of life that needs “fixing”.
By following these simple processes, one can quiet the Mind and eventually – when Releasing is taken to its natural conclusion – reach a state that Masters of all eras have called Self-Enlightenment.

What sort of specific results can I expect?
In a general way, you can expect life to feel more effortless. You can expect “feelings” to start being less overwhelming and less and less controlling of your behaviors.
You can expect yourself to feel lighter and more carefree – more able to cope with the large and small dramas of life. Just by releasing on the topics included in the Foundational Course, you can expect to let go of some of the heavier feelings that are running you as if “on automatic”. This will directly lead to feeling happier and more carefree.
Specific types of results depend on your focus.
For example, if you are focusing on improving your body's health or wellness, and do exercises with that goal in mind, these are the types of results you may expect. For instance, if you are working on improving relationships with other people (family members, people in the workplace, etc.), and do exercises with that goal in mind, you may expect an improvement in those relationships. Please note that many releasers report experiencing results in areas of their lives they were not even working on with releasing! For instance, if they were releasing on health, they may have experienced materiality or financial gains, without even working on that area.
Great Minds of the Ages agree on this point: Bringing more Quietness and Love into our inner Self is transformative of the outer world we live in…

- The more we develop love, the more we come in touch with harmony of the universe, the more delightful our life becomes, the more beautiful, the more everything! It starts a cycle going in which you spin upward. Lester Levenson
- A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind. In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without effort on your part. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
- It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly. Things, people, or conditions that you thought you needed for your happiness now come to you with no struggle or effort on your part, and you are free to enjoy and appreciate them – while they last. All those things, of course, will still pass away, cycles will come and go, but with dependency gone there is no fear of loss anymore. Life flows with ease. Eckhart Tolle
- The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed.
How do I know it works like it says?
You don’t… not until you actually do all the exercises and follow the entire workbook and CD program experientially. Don’t expect “just listening and reading” to get any results! Do each exercise as guided – with an open mind and heart.
You cannot just passively listen to this program and get results! This is not just intellectual information that you listen to. You need to commit to experiencing the exercises as they are presented. These are primarily mental exercises which most anyone can perform. They simply require some quiet time and your focus.
If you are willing to do the simple exercises – and you can do them all without leaving the comfort of your armchair – you will notice shifts and changes in yourself within a week or so. Many of the changes you will notice are inner-being changes; many people, however, notice material-world changes right away, too.
Please note: some prescription medications and a number of nonprescription drugs (also including alcohol), inhibit a human's ability to experience feelings. (Yes, this seems obvious to many of you – drugs suppress feelings.) If you are taking any of these items, it is possible that you may not experience the full power of the process called Releasing.

Are there live classes (seminars, workshops) that teach this, so I don’t have to do it alone at home?
This was created by Lester Levenson as a self-directed process, and the current generation of his students continues that self-directed approach. ARC – A Realized Community presents the basic concepts in their entirety in the Foundational Course. Once you have completed all the exercises in the foundational course on your own, and it is suggested that you do that 2 or more times, you will find support from the online ARC Friends Club.

How many Teleclasses and Retreats do you offer?
We offer Teleclasses every single month – sometimes 2 or more classes per month. Each class lasts 4 weeks. The classes are very adaptable to your schedule, since the live calls are recorded and available on the website to participants 24/7 during the class (this means that you won’t miss a thing if you cannot get on the live call).
You become eligible to enroll in these upon completion of the Foundational Course. However, some of the classes may not be of direct interest to you as each one is on a specific life topic. See our schedule and class descriptions on our website.
We offer a number of longer Releasing Retreats each year for graduates of 2 or more Teleclasses. Each one lasts either 9 or 12 days. You should consider participation only if you can attend the entire event, as ARC – A Realized Community creates a true get-away-from-it-all environment to help you focus on your own Journey.
Also, some of the retreats are on a particular life topic for the whole event and may not be of direct interest to you. See our schedule and retreat descriptions on our website.
