This morning four hummingbirds sat around the outside feeder and
drank in peace. This is amazing. Normally hummingbirds fight with each
other. They don't cooperate. They aren't at peace. They aren't loving.
So why are they all drinking together this morning?
Yesterday was the ending of the third live seminar on Zero Limits
with myself and Dr. Hew Len. It was one of the most loving and yet
intense events of my life. Hundreds of people came from all over the world
to experience it.
Dr. Hew Len revealed new cleaning methods, talked about deeper
aspects of his way to the Divine, and more. I spoke of my own changes,
revealed new stories, etc.
And we both took questions from the audience. Everyone left feeling
either at peace or knowing how to get there.
Apparently that love spilled over to the hummingbirds. It's a
wonderful metaphor and message: when you are at peace, the world
becomes peaceful.
Ever since the 2007 publication of the best-selling book Zero Limits,
written by myself and Dr. Hew Len, people have had some key questions. I
decided I would write this Special Report to answer the most common
ones.
May these questions help lead you to peace-- jut like the
hummingbirds.
Love,
Joe
1 – I noticed that the order of the phrases are never the same. I’ve heard that the order
matters and then I hear that it doesn’t. I’m afraid that I will do this wrong and that my
mis-understanding of the process will adversely affect the outcome.
It doesn't matter what order you say the phrases in. The idea is to say them. Follow your
inspiration and say them within yourself in the order that feels best. Let your feelings be
your guide. In the last Zero Limits event, Dr. Hew Len shortened the four phrases to just
two: “I love you” and “Thank you.” Getting hung up on the phrases and anything about
them is yet another thing to “clean” or “clear” on. The phrases are a simple tool to use as
a cleaning device to help you work your way to Zero. That's all. Being afraid of doing
them wrong is something to clean. My “I Love You” audio that I recorded is even
missing one of the phrases, however, it’s still a cleaning tool and works regardless:
http://www.milagroresearchinstitute.com/iloveyou.htm
2 – When I’m cleaning, who do I say it to? Me? The other person I’m cleaning on? I’m
confused.
You never say it to the other person. What you are doing is cleaning the part of you that
is perceiving the outer as a problem. It's never about anyone else or anything else. The
outer is the trigger that caused you to want to change something. Again, you don't want to
change the outer. You want to change the inner. You use the clearing phrases to do that.
You are addressing the Divine – no one else.
3 – When I have a problem, and I do the cleaning, do I focus on the problem or the
person while I’m cleaning? If my child has the problem and I want to clean for them, am
I invading their personal space if they don’t give me permission to clean on them first?
This is similar to the above question. Again, you don't focus on the other person. You
focus on you. The problem isn't “out there,” it's in you. You focus on the problem as you
experience it. You always experience it within yourself. As Dr. Hew Len has often asked,
“Have you ever noticed that when you have a problem, you are always there?” The point
is that the problem is in YOU. That's where you put your focus and direct the cleaning.
You are asking the Divine to remove the “energy” that you are feeling within yourself as
you look out there and see the “problem.”
4 – Do I have to clean forever and ever for as long as I live? That seems tiring and an
awful lot of work. Is there another way?
There is so much “data” in the world – programming, beliefs, negativity – that our
challenge is life long. Yes, you have to keep cleaning. But how hard is it, really, to say “I
love you” and “Thank you” inside yourself? Also, at the last Zero Limits 3 event, Dr.
Hew Len taught us all a short-cut. Since your inner child holds all of the data in your
unconscious mind, you can teach your inner child how to clean so that when your
conscious mind forgets to clean or needs to take a break from it, your inner child is
cleaning 24/7, regardless.
5 – If all I need are the 4 phrases, then what’s up with all these ho’oponopono products
that people sell and profit from? If you ask me, capitalizing on spirituality is a turn off
and makes me question the validity of ho’oponopono. Can you please answer this for me?
Thinking people are capitalizing on spirituality suggests that money is bad. Money is not
bad. Money is in fact neutral. Money is even spiritual. I created an entire audio course
about this issue (The Secret to Attracting Money). If everything is of the Divine, why
would money be an exception? The products are there to help you. If you don't want
them, don't buy them. But why sit in judgment when others are creating products to help
you feel better, get clearer, and be happier? They are doing you a service. Judging it as
bad or “un-spiritual” sounds like a limiting belief that needs cleared. It sounds self-
righteous. I'll clean on it.
6. How do we teach others to clean?
You don't. No one else needs to know anything about cleaning. Only you do. Dr. Hew
Len has spent the last 25 years cleaning himself. He openly says the only reason he is
alive is to clean. It doesn't matter if anyone else does it. It matters that YOU do it. One of
the things I hear at events is people hearing problems and then advising others, “You
should clean on that.” Wrong. Whenever you hear a problem, it's YOURS to clean on.
Just start doing the cleaning right then and there. In fact, you should never tell anyone to
“clean on it.” Whatever you hear or experience is yours to clean on.
7. I've been to a Zero Limits event and I still don't get it. What's this all about?
Basically, this is about returning to Divinity. In my audio program, The Awakening

Course, I say there are four stages to awakening. Most people never leave the first one
(victimhood). Thanks to movies like The Secret and The Compass, many people are
getting to level two (empowerment). Thanks to the book Zero Limits, some are aware of
level three (surrender). But there's also a fourth level. That's where you “awaken” to
Divinity. That's where the Divine consciously breathes through you. Zero Limits is a way
to clear out all the “data” (or head stuff) that stands between you and the Divine (“Zero”).
So, what's this all about? It's about getting clear of the static in your mind so the Divine
lives through you with awareness and love. To get there, we have a lot of work to do. So,
keep cleaning. :)
8. Did this method ever work for you, personally? Did it heal you or anyone close to you?
Do you EVER get to zero??
The only goal of cleaning is to help you erase the garbage that's between you and the
Divine. As you clean, you may get a healing or some other result. But that's not the goal.
The intention is to get to Zero, which is the place where the Divine lives through you.
When Dr. Hew Len worked with the patients in that mental hospital for the criminally
insane, he didn't work to heal them, he worked to heal himself. Obviously, it worked. I've
been doing the cleaning for almost four years now. I do it non-stop. Why? So I can keep
cleaning the interference between me and the Divine. One day, if the Divine so wants it, I
will be at Zero. Till then, I keep cleaning. I wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't work. To
offer some evidence that this method works, here's an email I received one day:
I read your book Zero Limits in December, 2008. I work as a life coach and parenting
instructor at the Women’s prison in Baton Rouge. I hold three classes each week with 20
women in each class. I started doing the ho’oponopono immediately after starting the
book. I could see instant results with the women in the group. I shared the information
with them and bought five books for them to take turns reading. They have shared so
many success stories with me about how the deputies in charge of them are changing.
One day last week, there was some sort of disturbance going on in the prison. I could
hear the commotion outside of my classroom. The warden stepped in my classroom and
had this stunned look on his face. He couldn’t believe the calmness and quietness of the
room with all of the ruckus going on outside. He told me, “I don’t know what you are
doing, just keep doing it.” He has shared with me on several occasions that all of the
women are behaving better and are actually getting to have privileges they have never
been able to have before. I am also having positive changes with my teenage daughters
and husband. Thank you so much for bringing this information to light.

9. What's the difference between Zero Limits seminars and ho'oponopono basic and
advanced courses? Do I have to attend any of these first before taking the next class? If
this information is to be made private, how come you are allowed to reveal some of
the secrets in Zero Limits or release recordings of your Zero Limits events?
“I love you” “Thank you” “Please forgive me” “I'm sorry” “I love you” Page 7
The main difference between a Zero Limits event and a Ho'oponopono basic event is
this: with Zero Limits, you get me as the co-instructor. You have to take the basic
ho'oponopono course and practice the methods you learn for at least two years before
you can take an advanced ho'oponopono course. I was permitted to release some of the
information because Dr. Hew Len gave me that permission. He is, after all, the co-author
of Zero Limits and the main instructor of ho'oponopono. If he says I can write a book, or
release audios or DVDs, then of course I can.
10. "I am sorry!"? Does this mean apology or sadness? What do I have to be sorry for
when everything in the Universe is perfect? I don't like having to say it.
You need to say “I'm sorry” and “Please forgive me” for being unconscious. It has
nothing to do with regret, guilt, shame or blame, but everything to do with realizing
you've been asleep. When you bump into someone in the store, you say “I'm sorry.”
Why? Because you made a mistake. You were unconscious and did something while you
were unaware. When you address the Divine and say those phrases, you are letting the
Divine know you were unconscious. Forgiveness is one of the most powerful
transformative tools you have. If you aren't willing to ask for forgiveness for being
unconscious, you are probably blocking the Divine's flow in your life in other areas, too.
Having said all that, I once asked Dr. Hew Len what to tell people who complained about
saying “I am sorry.” He said, “Tell them they don't have to say it.”
Exclusive Brand New Bonus:
What's the Right Way to Clean?

Whenever I spend time with Dr. Hew Len, I'm reminded of the fundamentals
behind Zero Limits and ho'oponopono:
 There's nothing to do but clean.

 The more you clean, the more you can receive inspiration from the Divine.
 There's either Memory or Inspiration, and usually it’s Memory (data).
 The only thing to clean is what you feel inside.
 The only goal is freedom; to be at Zero.
Knowing the fundamentals is one thing, living them is quite another. This is why
we need books, audios, DVDs, tools, seminars, coaches, and whatever else we can use to
remind us that all the work takes place within.
The world is made up of “data” and it’s that very data that needs cleaned. The
thing is, we perceive all that data inside ourselves, so that's where the cleaning has to take
place.
In other words, there's nothing “out there.” It's all inside you. That's where you
experience problems and that's where the cleaning needs done.
But what is the right way to clean?
If cleaning is the number one most important thing to do and is the core of the
entire Zero Limits process, how do you do it accurately?
Here's how I do it:
1. I notice something wrong. This can be triggered by a thought, another person, an

event, or anything else. This is the stimulus. Before Zero Limits, noticing a
problem was always considered “out there.” After Zero Limits, you realize the
problem is inside. Whatever the case, the first step is to notice you don't feel
good. You're angry, upset, worried, scared, or any other of a wide range of
emotions and feelings that could be labeled as unhappy.
2. I start to clean on the feeling. I don't clean on the other person, or the thought, or
the situation, or anything “out there.” Again, the problem is inside. I'm the one
aware of a problem. I'm the one who has to clean it. For me, saying “I love you,”
“I'm sorry,” “Please forgive me” and “Thank you” is the way to clean. I say the
phrases in any order. I say them non-stop in my mind while feeling the problem as
I perceive it. And I say it to the Divine.
3. I sometimes use other cleaning methods. For example, the last time I saw Dr.
Hew Len, he gave me one of his Ceeport business cards. He says it is a cleaning
tool. He said, “In your mind imagine slicing the problem up with the edge of the
card.”
4. I let go until prompted to take inspired action. Dr. Hew Len once told me that he
cleans on a decision three times. If the answer is the same after those cleanings,
he takes action on it. This means if I get an impulse to do something to resolve the
perceived problem, I might clean on it three times before I actually take any
action. This is a way to insure the action is coming from inspiration and not
memory.
5. Repeat.
Everyone wants a short-cut to cleaning and reaching Zero. I do, too. But it’s that
very impatience that needs cleaned. Wanting something right now is Memory playing
out, urging us to get instant gratification. It's data. The Divine has no time and no
urgency. Wanting things to unfold faster than they unfold is a wonderful opportunity to
clean.
I keep cleaning because it makes me feel lighter, happier and healthier; it is a fast-
track way for me to remove the data in my being so I can get closer to the Divine, and
because it's easy, effortless, and free.
Until the Divine gives me another way to clean, I'll keep on cleaning.
“Complete responsibility means accepting it all - even the people who enter your life and
their problems, because their problems are your problems. They are in your life, and if
you take full responsibility for your life, then you have to take full responsibility for what
they are experiencing, too.” – from Zero Limits by Joe Vitale and Dr. Hew Len
Bonus:
This is the article that caused Zero Limits to sell out (due to
pre-orders) six months before the book was ever published
in 2007. It's a basic introduction to the head-spinning
concepts in the book. It was written around December,
2006 and reached an estimated five million people. You
can also find it at http://www.zerolimits.info/
Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of
criminally insane patients--without ever seeing any of them. The psychologist would
study an inmate's chart and then look within himself to see how he created that person's
illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved.
When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban legend. How could anyone heal
anyone else by healing himself? How could even the best self-improvement master cure
the criminally insane?
It didn't make any sense. It wasn't logical, so I dismissed the story.
However, I heard it again a year later. I heard that the therapist had used a Hawaiian
healing process called ho'oponopono. I had never heard of it, yet I couldn't let it leave my
mind. If the story was at all true, I had to know more.
I had always understood "total responsibility" to mean that I am responsible for what I
think and do. Beyond that, it's out of my hands. I think that most people think of total
responsibility that way. We're responsible for what we do, not what anyone else does.
The Hawaiian therapist who healed those mentally ill people would teach me an
advanced new perspective about total responsibility.
His name is Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. We probably spent an hour talking on our first
phone call. I asked him to tell me the complete story of his work as a therapist. He
explained that he worked at Hawaii State Hospital for four years. That ward where they
kept the criminally insane was dangerous. Psychologists quit on a monthly basis. The
staff called in sick a lot or simply quit. People would walk through that ward with their
backs against the wall, afraid of being attacked by patients. It was not a pleasant place to
live, work, or visit.
Dr. Len told me that he never saw patients. He agreed to have an office and to review
their files. While he looked at those files, he would work on himself. As he worked on
himself, patients began to heal.
"After a few months, patients that had to be shackled were being allowed to walk freely,"
he told me. "Others who had to be heavily medicated were getting off their medications.
And those who had no chance of ever being released were being freed."
I was in awe.
"Not only that," he went on, "but the staff began to enjoy coming to work. Absenteeism
and turnover disappeared. We ended up with more staff than we needed because patients
were being released, and all the staff was showing up to work. Today, that ward is
closed."
This is where I had to ask the million dollar question: "What were you doing within
yourself that caused those people to change?"
"I was simply healing the part of me that created them," he said.
I didn't understand.
Dr. Len explained that total responsibility for your life means that everything in your life
- simply because it is in your life--is your responsibility. In a literal sense the entire world
is your creation.
Whew. This is tough to swallow. Being responsible for what I say or do is one thing.
Being responsible for what everyone in my life says or does is quite another. Yet, the
truth is this: if you take complete responsibility for your life, then everything you see,
hear, taste, touch, or in any way experience is your responsibility because it is in your
life.
This means that terrorist activity, the president, the economy--anything you experience
and don't like--is up for you to heal. They don't exist, in a manner of speaking, except as
projections from inside you. The problem isn't with them, it's with you, and to change
them, you have to change you.
I know this is tough to grasp, let alone accept or actually live. Blame is far easier than
total responsibility, but as I spoke with Dr. Len, I began to realize that healing for him
and in ho'oponopono means loving yourself. If you want to improve your life, you have
to heal your life. If you want to cure anyone--even a mentally ill criminal--you do it by
healing you.
I asked Dr. Len how he went about healing himself. What was he doing, exactly, when he
looked at those patients' files?
"I just kept saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you' over and over again," he explained.
That's it?
That's it.
Turns out that loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as you
improve yourself, you improve your world. Let me give you a quick example of how this
works: one day, someone sent me an email that upset me. In the past I would have
handled it by working on my emotional hot buttons or by trying to reason with the person
who sent the nasty message. This time, I decided to try Dr. Len's method. I kept silently
saying, "I'm sorry" and "I love you," I didn't say it to anyone in particular. I was simply
evoking the spirit of love to heal within me what was creating the outer circumstance.
Within an hour I got an e-mail from the same person. He apologized for his previous
message. Keep in mind that I didn't take any outward action to get that apology. I didn't
even write him back. Yet, by saying "I love you," I somehow healed within me what was
creating him.
I later attended a ho'oponopono workshop run by Dr. Len. He's now 70 years old,
considered a grandfatherly shaman, and is somewhat reclusive. He praised my book, The
Attractor Factor. He told me that as I improve myself, my book's vibration will raise, and
everyone will feel it when they read it. In short, as I improve, my readers will improve.
"What about the books that are already sold and out there?" I asked.
"They aren't out there," he explained, once again blowing my mind with his mystic
wisdom. "They are still in you."
In short, there is no out there.
It would take a whole book to explain this advanced technique with the depth it deserves.
Suffice it to say that whenever you want to improve anything in your life, there's only one
place to look: inside you.
"When you look, do it with love."
“A house divided against itself cannot stand. This is true for nations,
communities, organizations and families, as well as for individuals. In the
House of Humanity, the individual is the common denominator. When the
individual is divided, the house is divided.” – Ihaleakala Hew Len
Bonus:
I wrote this blog post a few days after Zero Limits: The Final
Chapter was held in Austin, Texas April '09. It reveals a new
way to clean. Enjoy!
This past weekend’s event, Zero Limits 3: The Final Chapter, took all of us (myself
included) to a whole new level of being.
There was the usual (usual for Zero Limits) talk of total responsibility, of course.
I and Dr. Hew Len (pictured above) were adamant in pointing out you can never ever
look out there and say that has to change. It all changes within you.
Trying to change the outer is like seeing your unclean or unshaven face in the
mirror and trying to shave or clean the mirror.
All the work is within.

All of it.
No exceptions.
None.
There was also the usual emphasis on cleaning, or clearing, of the “data” within.
That’s a non-stop job of unimaginable proportions. Yet, all it takes to clean is saying “I
love you” and “thank you” inside to do the work.
You don’t even need “I’m sorry” or “Please forgive me.”
Dr. Hew Len himself could be heard saying just the two phrases “I love you” and
“Thank you.” Say the others if you like, or not. Follow your inspiration.
One participant asked if cleaning was like having a mental etch-a-sketch device. A
drawing or words (or thoughts) appear on the toy, and you just shake the etch-a-sketch
and they all disappear.
I loved the image and instantly made it my own new clearing tool. When thoughts
appear, I just shake the etch-a-sketch in my mind and they vanish. It’s my new
meditation.
The hundreds of participants from all over the planet truly got that the only way to
change is to do it by yourself, on yourself, from within yourself.
After the event ended, over dinner, I heard various conversations. People were at a
different place.
They were loving.
Trusting.
Happy.
They (and me) were taken toward zero; to that place where the only goal, if there’s a goal
at all, is to be “zero” - happy, loving, free.
Words can’t describe this. As I’m fond of saying, “zero” is what I call the whiteboard.
There’s nothing on it. But as soon as you write something on it, you’ve put data on the
board.
Again, the goal - if there’s any goal at all - is to be free.
This isn’t about getting results, or duplicating scientific experiments, or controlling life or
anyone else.
This isn’t about intellectualizing life or developing a formula or code to manipulate life.
This is instead about getting to zero and from there you can hear inspiration and act on it
- no interference, no static, no doubt, no data.
All that remains is love.
And even that is a word written on the whiteboard of the Divine.
Consider: What would you be if the etch-a-sketch in your mind got shaken right now and
you went to zero?
