Part 02 of 4

Full path

Who this course is for

For graduates of Paradox Fundamentals who are ready to deepen both their conceptual understanding and their practical toolkit. This is where the work becomes more precise, more intuitive, and more integrated into daily life.

Eight new technologies to work with

From the Manual Process to Persona Clear, each technique gives you a new way to work with emotions, intuition, and identity. Your capacity expands in both personal practice and professional application.

Learn to direct your inner wisdom

The Advisory Key opens the door to insight that has not yet occurred on a conscious level. Instead of forcing answers, you learn how to let them emerge and guide the work.

See how reality organizes itself

Deepen your understanding of the Hierarchy of Behavior, the Elements of the Mind, and identity set points. See why people resist what they want and how change becomes possible.

What changes through the work

8 technologies, 3 lectures

A comprehensive expansion of your Paradox Process toolkit. Each technology can stand on its own, and together they form a more complete system for transformation.

Practice-ready skills

Each technique is meant to be practiced, not merely understood. The course supports real integration through repetition, real-world application, and continued refinement.

Module 2Welcome
  1. Welcome Letter from Co-Founder Thomas M. JonesI am thrilled you've decided to continue your Paradox Process education! Each of the techniques you will learn was, at its inception, a marvel. We were exploring a new frontier and once we discovered and created a new way to direct the mind, we were zealous about what it could do and how it would transform the people using it.

The path through the course

  1. 01

    Observing The Mind

    Develop the "observer position" — the critical skill underlying all Paradox Process work. Through a four-part exercise, learn that you are not your mind, thoughts, or feelings, and discover you have control and influence over your mental landscape.

  2. 02

    The Manual Process

    The foundational technology from which all other Paradox Process keys were built. A 15-minute mantra meditation using "accept the unacceptable" that clears emotional charge while revealing insight. Master this one technique and you can transform your world.

  3. 03

    Hierarchy of Behavior — Deep Dive

    Understand how reality forms through a self-reinforcing cycle: Core Beliefs → Feelings → Story → Filters → Choices → Actions. Learn why this closed system keeps people stuck — and how the Paradox Process breaks through at the foundation.

  4. 04

    Advisory Key — Basics

    Access your intuitive self on demand. The Advisory Key directs your inner wisdom by asking a question and activating the response with sub-keys: Answer, Explain, Stand, and Expand. Opens the door to insight that hasn't occurred on a conscious level.

Course note

“Each technique was originally a significant discovery. Approach each one with curiosity and patience — they take time to integrate, but once they do, they change everything.”

This course teaches you to observe your mind, access your intuition, clear emotional charge automatically, reshape your identity, and understand the deep patterns that shape your reality. These are the essential skills that make everything else possible.

Module 3Observing The Mind
  1. Observing the MindOne of the first "soft skills" to master is being able to create an observer position within your upsets.Video
  2. Observing the Mind - ExplainedI want you to have a relationship with your mind where you can see it objectively and where you can approach it objectively. The more objective you can be about what's going on internally, the more powerful you can be in terms of interacting with it and even changing it.Video
  3. Automatic ThinkingYou weren't generating those thoughts. And I find that interesting, because when you recognize how much automatic thinking is going on without you, you start to realize all of my resources are being used up by this automatic thinking.Video
Module 4Manual Process
  1. The Manual ProcessLet's talk about The Manual Process. It's kind of the foundation from which we've built all of the keys and all of the technologies that we use now. This became a huge discovery, because what we saw was that you can change your attitude. You can change your experience of the very issue that you had originally.Video
  2. The Manual Process - ExplainedI don't know if you guys have ever read Suzuki. He's a Zen master. He talks about the practice of Zen, and he's very articulate about it in two different ways. One, he's talking about the mindset. And the other, he's talking about the actual practice. And he talks about something called the beginner mind. And I love that. Because all my life, I've felt like I've been a student of whatever it is that I'm learning, right? A beginner, if you will. And so what's interesting to me is that he's talking about this beginner's mind with great reverence, which was the first time I ever thought of it that way, frankly.Video
  3. Meditation Music to use with Manual ProcessThe Paradox Process meditation music was composed and recorded by Thomas M. Jones. Its approximate length, 15 minutes, is the recommended amount of time it takes to get clear on an issue and gain insight using this technology.Video
Module 5Hierarchy of Behavior - Deep Dive
  1. Hierarchy of Behavior - Deep DiveLet's talk about the hierarchy of behavior. You know, we find ourselves in these circumstances, these realities, so to speak, and we have very little clue as to how we got there, and so it's interesting to see the formation of this reality and how exactly we find ourselves in the situations that we're in.Video
  2. Story Clear & Belief ClearSo we talked about the hierarchy of behavior and how those core beliefs lead to feelings that we interpret and then create a narrative about. So I want to talk about two different keys that are incredibly useful in terms of breaking this structure down and using it to our advantage.Video
Module 6Advisory Key - Basics
  1. Advisory Key - BasicsWhen we were doing the meditative part of this process, we discovered that there's an inner voice that often gives you insight and information, and it occurred to us that if we could manage to direct that voice in a way that it gave that insight on demand, it would be an incredibly useful tool.Video
  2. Advisory Key - ExplainedThe intuitive self…when we were learning this, when we were kind of developing this Manual Process, the Accept the Unacceptable, we discovered a few things. And one of the things that we discovered that was fascinating was that as you're doing Accept the Unacceptable, there are a lot of things going on internally. And you guys have probably experienced some of it by now - that maybe you'll see pictures or images, or you'll see flashes of color or light. And some people hear actual words, right? And it was intriguing because here I was just doing Accept the Unacceptable. I'm not doing the talking. So who is that other voice? Who is that other self that's sending these pictures and images of the situation or actually saying words, and sometimes giving the experience of insight? Who is that? You know, or what is that?Video

6 more modules are included in the full course.

  • 05

    Zero to Ten with Advisory Key

    Enhance the Zero to Ten technique with the Advisory Key's Stand and Expand sub-keys. Automate the clearing process — the Advisory Key tells you your number, generates inputs, and you clear them. Faster and more efficient than manual work.

  • 06

    Sequence Auto Process

    Run the clearing sequence in about 60 seconds. Whether clearing a negative or creating a positive outcome, this process gives the mind a clear sequence to follow when you need immediate work.

  • 07

    Somatic Clearing & Picture Clear

    Two non-verbal techniques for working on issues without articulating them. Picture Clear processes visual trauma and intrusive images. Somatic Clearing works through the body's sensations. Both release emotional charge without triggering the intellectual mind.

  • 08

    Persona Clear — Basics

    Consciously sculpt how you show up in specific situations. Using a five-step formula, designate a version of yourself capable of creating what you want. Not about controlling others — about changing yourself and your energy to naturally influence outcomes.
