Agreement

Agreement is control is a main belief. To be out of agreement is to mean you are losing. Anytime you are losing, or feeling bad, you are effectively out of agreement. Vic Baranco wrote, “You can either get into agreement with the situation, get the situation in agreement with you, or lose.” I always took this to meant that ultimately I could control how much I lost and how I wanted my life to be. RJ uses it as, “you should get in agreement with whatever happened or is happening so you can be in control.” With this thinking any violence or abuse we were calling and encouraged to be in agreement with or be victims to the treatment.
