Your Transformation? You're Looking in the Wrong Place!

Key takeaways

  • Transformational work fails when you address symptoms from teenage or adult years rather than the root causes planted in early childhood
  • The garden metaphor: weeds (limiting beliefs) are seeded in early childhood but only grow visible when triggered by life events
  • The PIS method has two steps: Purge (removing negative roots) and Power Extraction (unlocking primal power stored in those moments)
  • True transformation requires accessing unconscious imprints from before language development, often inaccessible to conscious memory
  • When you remove limiting patterns at their root, the brain automatically fills the void with new possibilities and strengths

Show notes

In this episode, Paul Vette reveals why most people search in the wrong place for their transformation. Using the powerful metaphor of a garden, he explains how limiting beliefs and patterns aren't created during the traumatic events we remember from our teenage or adult years, but were actually planted as seeds in early childhood. Paul introduces the PIS method (Purge and Power Extraction), which targets these deep roots rather than surface symptoms. He demonstrates how trying to solve problems at the point where they became visible is like cutting weeds instead of pulling them out by the roots. The episode explores the five layers of identity and explains why accessing the unconscious mind through trance is essential for finding the true imprint of limiting patterns. Paul shares practical insights on how the brain automatically fills voids and how this principle can be leveraged for rapid transformation when working at the right depth.

Welcome to the Paul Vette podcast, a podcast about leadership, mindset and hypnosis. Enjoy listening. You're looking in the wrong place for your transformation and I see it over and over and over and over again. All kinds of people who have been searching for weeks, months, years, sometimes decades in the wrong place for their transformation. And I understand, because it's proclaimed by so many people where you should look, but that's completely the wrong place. And I'll explain it to you in a moment using a metaphor and I'll also tell you where you should look. In our PIS method we have step 1 and step 2. Step 1: the purge. Step 2: power extraction. And what we do in those 2 steps is we go to a completely different point. And you need that point for your transformation. Step 1, the purge, we remove all negative baggage. And step 2, power extraction, we ensure that all primal power and primal talents that are stored right there in that moment, that they become available and that you can use them for yourself. I'm going to give you a metaphor so that you actually understand this immediately. You can scientifically support it completely and explain everything that happens in the brain, but that's much more difficult than this story. Let me explain it in black and white. When you were born. Then you had a kind of nearly empty garden that you could seed. And in this empty garden you planted seeds, but based on the experiences you have. And when you were born, you were allowed everything. You were allowed to cry, laugh, poop, pee, even if you spit all over your parents. I have a six-month-old son, he does that sometimes. I love him dearly. That was the case with you too. You were loved or at least cared for. As I said, I'm explaining it in black and white. But because you were allowed everything, everything was good and only seeds were planted in your empty little garden from which beautiful flowers emerged. But then you grow up and you're, for example, 3 years old and you walk to a coffee table where there's a really hot cup of tea. And this time one of your parents or caregivers is just too late to calmly grab you by the shoulder and stop you. Or to calmly say your name, say 'don't do that, because that hurts or that's hot'. No, this time they see it happening out of the corner of their eye. And they run towards you, because they're 'late shouting your name'. So with a lot of force for you as a three-year-old they come towards you. They grab you just too hard by your wrist and shout your name. And you get startled. And then a seed is planted and then you know, yes, this isn't a flower, that's a weed. And parents can't help it. And for children at that age their world falls apart when they have to leave the playground because it's dinner time. So there in your early childhood all kinds of seeds were planted in your garden from which either beautiful flowers emerge or weeds emerge. But then you go into life and you experience things. That's what I thought too, I also did this wrong. Like when I was fourteen I was giving a presentation in front of the class once. I was super bad at it, but really hilariously bad, so you noticed that with the class too. They all laughed at me. Some also to bully, but it was also really hilariously bad. Yes, there was pain for me when I thought about that moment. But what happens at that moment? At that moment sunlight and rainwater fall on the weeds that are already standing in your little garden. In this case my little garden. So there were already weeds. Somewhere in my early childhood a seed had already been planted. Weeds had come from it, I hadn't really had much trouble with it yet. But then at my fourteenth rainwater, sunlight on those weeds and suddenly those weeds came above my flowers. Yes, then I had enormous trouble with it. And there are enough people who say 'yes, but there in my life, when I was 18, I experienced that. And then? No, that's when it originated. Hey when I was 25, that's when I saw that accident happen. That's when it originated. Or at twenty-three I had that bad experience. At eighteen there was physical violence with me, I was troubled by it. And all those moments that you can think of that make you think okay, at such a moment at eighteen, at twenty-three, at twenty-six, at fourteen, maybe even at twelve or at thirty-four years old. It doesn't matter. But suddenly we think that all those situations that caused rainwater and sunlight to fall on those weeds and which then suddenly came to hang above your flowers, causing you trouble in your life, that that's the moment you should look, where you should look to solve it. But that's complete bullshit. That's not where it is. It's in your early childhood often even in the moments before language development in your brain was properly in order. So those memories, you can get them up very difficultly, especially not consciously. And that's why we don't look there. Because you don't consciously think of 'yes, when I was 1.5 I experienced this'. No, you never talk about that. It's hidden so deep in your brain, but that's where it was sown. So you can see the metaphor like this: you now have a garden full of flowers and the things you possibly have trouble with, yes, those are weeds hanging above your flowers. And what people then do is they try to solve it where those weeds suddenly came above the flowers. Where it suddenly became heavy, where it became unpleasant in your life. And then it could be that indeed those weeds were still under your flowers. And the moment you start looking there, it could be that when you're troubled by it now and you start looking for okay, where did it originate? When I was 24, that's when I fell off my bike and since then I find it very scary to cycle or to get on a public road or in busy environments. Or sometimes it's not even related to that. So it could be yes, since I fell off my bike, I'm aggressive towards people or I don't dare to do many other things anymore. It doesn't even have to be consciously linked. And if you look there, it could be that you get a bit less troubled by it, because then you cut away some weeds. But then you continue with your life. And first you cut away those weeds and your flowers are fully in sight again. But then those weeds just come back up again. Because yes, if you don't do anything about weeds, they grow like cabbage. Let alone when something is a trigger again. Rainwater, sunlight, then it comes back up again. And that's why in the purge we go all the way back to where it was once sown. And there we pull it out with roots and all. And in those roots, there's fertilizer for your future. And in that hole, which has then formed in your little garden, that's where the opportunities lie and that's where your power lies. Because your brain can't stand it when something is left out. When I say to you okay, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, you hear 4 in your head. Your brain can't not hear that. You automatically fill that in, it happens by itself. That's also when you remove weeds. And in that place of weeds, that's what we do in the power extraction, we ensure that and the fertilizer that's in those roots, that's in that seed, where a primal power and primal talent is really stored. There we release that power. And we ensure that super beautiful flowers come to stand in that place at lightning speed, so that if you look in the right place, you can on the one hand really solve it and on the other hand you can switch the weeds you have in your little garden to flowers at lightning speed and suddenly your life becomes really fantastic. That's of course what the PIS method is all about, to really get your maximum potential out. But so stop looking in the wrong place, because whatever you experienced when you were 12, 14, 18, 21, 32, even if it was at forty-four. It doesn't matter at all. If you start looking there for 'hey, that's where the problem originated', then you'll keep looking for the rest of your life. It lies somewhere deep in your childhood. And the moment you start thinking about that, it could be that you start recognizing patterns in yourself and that you know okay, if I look there, then this might be the solution and that could help you. But otherwise please go to someone who ensures that you get connection with your unconscious in a certain trance state, with the imprint, that's what it's called, where it originated. Then you look in the right place and there you can solve it. There you can use your brain very well to solve it for you. And if you also do it according to the PIS method, then it's not only a solution, but it's really a power extraction and your life becomes really many times more fun. So really stop looking for all those moments when you experienced something unpleasant in your teenage years or in your adult life. You won't find it there. You'll find it somewhere else. Hope of course that things are going well with you. I hope things are going well with your loved ones. And if you really want to make that identity shift, then you obviously need to come to me.

Frequently asked questions

Why do most transformation attempts fail?

Most people search for solutions at the point where problems became visible in their teenage or adult years, rather than addressing the root causes planted in early childhood. This is like cutting weeds instead of pulling them out by the roots. The traumatic events you remember are merely triggers that caused existing patterns to surface, not the origin of those patterns themselves.

What is the garden metaphor and how does it explain identity formation?

Your identity is like a garden that was empty at birth. Positive experiences plant seeds that become beautiful flowers, while challenging experiences plant weeds. Events in your teenage or adult years aren't when weeds are planted—they're when sunlight and rain cause existing weeds to grow above your flowers, making them visible and problematic. The seeds were planted much earlier, often before language development.

What is the PIS method and how does it work?

The PIS method has two steps: Purge and Power Extraction. In the Purge phase, negative patterns are removed at their roots in early childhood, not where they surfaced later. In Power Extraction, the primal power and talents stored in those root moments are unlocked and transformed into strengths. This approach uses trance to access unconscious imprints that conscious memory cannot reach.

Why is early childhood the key to transformation?

Limiting patterns are seeded in early childhood, often before language development when your brain was most impressionable. These moments created the foundational patterns that later life events merely triggered. Because these memories exist before language, they cannot be accessed through conscious recall alone, which is why specialized techniques using trance and the unconscious mind are necessary for true transformation.

How does the brain respond when limiting patterns are removed?

The brain cannot tolerate voids or gaps. Just as you automatically hear the number four when someone says 'one, two, three, five, six,' your brain automatically fills spaces left by removed patterns. When weeds are pulled out by their roots using the PIS method, the brain rapidly fills those spaces with new positive patterns, accelerating transformation and making life significantly more fulfilling.
