Awesome stuff Devon! Way to take things to the next level AND make it easier for folks to get to the place that many of us have spent a lifetime to get to. I look forward to learning and experiencing more!
Thankyou Devon. I love the physicality of it…the real in-time now facts of how we operate as a living organism. It’s practical and REAL. Bless you and Bliss you!
Thanks so much Robin! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it. Please let me know how your experience goes and if you have any questions.
As for the physicality – amen! it’s all about being in your body. How did THAT get left out of our elementary school education?
Peace in,
Devon
“Wow”,thank you so much Devon, I am most grateful for Inner Game and the way you have offered this learning experience through Go Gratitude. I listened for the first time last night and I am back for my second install & its only 5am! I slept blissfully (without my usual sleeping tablets), had interesting and informative dreams and I feel so calm and peaceful today. I can absolutely feel a ’shift’ in the way I feel my body, it’s like I’m coming alive from a very long, dull coma. This install is powerful. Thank you again Devon for sharing, I will keep posting with progress updates, this is very exciting.
Love to you,
Dee
Dee!
I love hearing about your experience – thanks for taking the time to share it. And I’m looking forward to your progress updates. It’s cool to find out how people’s experience of IIG changes as they pick up and embody more and more of the pieces inside of it.
Also, let me know if there’s anything in there that you’re curious about. I set this blog up specifically so I could answer questions and be of service as you go through the experience so, I’m all ears.
Also, I love hearing that you feel like your body is coming alive. That’s one of the things that let’s me know I’ve done my job well. Kiela too. She’s the wizard who brought all the soundscapes and music to life. One of my favorite parts is the heart beats. If you let yourself go into the experience you’ll notice in that part that there are actually two heartbeats – the mother’s and the baby’s – which would be you in that particular trance).
Love right back to you,
Devon
What happens if you already exist in a very peaceful state most of the time and you listen to this download and experience very little change? I see people post such big changes and I am not feeling such deep shifts and am curious how this is a “one size fits all” for people? Could there be other tools you have that could provide the results I am looking for?
The work I’ve done for most of my life is all personal – one on one or working with a group.
When I’m in person I’m tracking the stuff that each person wants specifically. Installing Inner Game is the first round of creating the software that will allow people to get that experience as closely as possible without actually being in the room with me.
There’s a ton of useful stuff in there even if you’re an experienced meditator and psychonaut. That said, I’ve got lots of tools. The real question is, what results are you looking for? Once I know that I’ll be able to respond more specifically.
All my best,
Devon
Devon,
Thank YOU so much for putting such extraordinary-deliverance product together.
Now, as for my results, I am echoing what “anonymous says:
March 10, 2010 at 11:51 am” said.
However, I am going to keep “installing” over and over and over, because, eventually, something has to happen because nothing ever stops growing as long as it desires to keep growing… ∞
John F Vargas
Thanks for the feedback John.
If you’re already ‘there’ so to speak then I’ll give you my end game for the people I work with personally:
When you’re able to experience every sentence and know what it means in-time, you’ve gotten all Installing Inner Game has to give.
Let me know how it goes!
~Devon
p.s. Thanks for appreciating the deliverance – we all worked very hard to make it as exquisite as possible.
I have to mirror the last two folks, as well. I’m not experiencing much, but can’t stay awake for it either. I have been having more dreams, which is new. Will explore listening at different times. I like the program…am curious about the music/sounds. I suppose they elicit certain brain responses. Could you call this “brainwave technology”, like the holosinc?????I’m still curious………
Heather Snow
Thank you, Devon for a sophisticated tool offered in such sweet spirit! I got deep on my first listen, and this systematic, easy access is just what I want. Question. I remember the words “this is not cognitive,” so maybe it doesn’t matter that I am unable to hear some of the spoken part of “installing” under or over the other parts of the soundtrack. Is neural entrainment the more important thing that’s going on here?
bella calma trovera,
Marie
Hi Marie,
When we made IIG we were not doing ’subliminal’ work. After nearly 20 years working in consciousness, I’m unconvinced that subliminal works well for anything of great value.
That said, we’ve had people run through all sorts of states of consciousness and come out on the other side with some pretty massive results. So, if you can’t make some words out, just enjoy the music.
Neural entrainment is definitely one of the most important elements of the experience. And as for the words – there are plenty of them in there – I’m sure you’ll pick up the majority of them and you’ll get the effects that are perfect for you.
Nel fuoco D’amore mi mise,
Devon
I have downloaded and unzipped both the audio file and the manual. Even though I have not listened to the audio yet, except for the first few minutes, I have read the manual. The manual mentions that the audio has tracks, but I only have one continous mp3 file, approx 1:11 minutes long. Is there any way to divide this up into tracks, so I don’t have to listen to the introduction every time?
Hi Robin,
The short answer is, yes.
Email me and I’ll let you know how to make that happen easily. My email address is:
devon (at) installinginnergame (dot) com
Best,
Devon
Devon. Great stuff. I went deep with the first listen. I am very interested in putting together a program with you a nonprofit we are launching http://www.FinanceYourVision.com. Everyone should listen to your program. Thanks for the heart that you put into it!
Rob
Hey Rob,
Thanks for taking a listen and I’m glad you enjoyed it. Ken forwarded me your email as well and we’re just taking a little time to sit back and think on it. Love what you’re doing and so long as it’s a fit and match for all of us on this end, I’m sure we’d love to support what it – and the visionaries your bringing together.
Talk soon,
Devon
Devon: I equate my first installation experience to this: I have been to films/movies all of my life and then I saw “Avatar” and entered a 3D world that was like nothing I had ever experienced in cinema. I too have been doing meditations of all kinds for many many years and believe I have been living “in purpose”…. after doing my first installation today I feel the same cutting edge tranformational breakthrough and phenomenal experience as the 3D film – only it was me! It was truly an “experience” that I so look forward to doing again and again. I want to share it with everyone I love!
Thank you Thank you Thank you…
Keri!
I love your comment. Kiela loves it too. (She’s the master behind the soundscapes). She was particularly inspired by your analogy. So, thank you for that.
The thing is, we’re artists at heart and we love it when someone really gets the frequency of the message we’re putting out. I’m humbled, honored, elated, and thrilled that you enjoyed it so much. And please, feel free to share it with the people you love.
We’ll keep working on more 3D experiences for you. And in the meantime, I’m so pleased you’re enjoying this one.
Warmly,
Devon
I haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but I’m super excited to do so! One quick question though…I have a hearing deficit in one ear as I had a tumor removed when I was a kid, along with the the eardrum, etc., so I have only slight hearing through the mastoid bone. Do you think that will make a difference?
Thanks again!
Kim
Hi Kim,
There will be some stuff that will be different because we’re doing hemi-synching and three-dimensional soundscape work but you’ll get plenty out of it. So long as you let yourself go into the experience you’ll get all of the magic.
Can’t wait to hear how you like it!
Enjoy,
Devon
THANKS FOR THE GREAT TALK DEVON,, BUT i AM UNABLE TO INSTALL THE INNER BLOG/GAME. tHANKS ANNE.
and I haven’t been able to open the manual??????
First thank you Devon that you agree to offer the résult of your research on Go Gratitude
it is because of t he trust i have for Tracey that Igot the chance to listen to you and be installed!
Iam a 30 years meditator and your création is great and for me unique
i usually do not like to listen to directives when I meditate
this time i enjoy it but not at first
the begining appears to me at first to much noise
also at some place Ifelt fear to really let go but this I think is me as Iam often total and very receptive to hypnosis
but at the 3rd listening iwas able to distinguish the content of the first minute that became then more précise,more sensible.
I still do not get the tracks understanding
as I have not been able yet to stay awake for the total lenght of the inner game)but my listening were during the night)but what I got is vertiginous the stars though touched me,
Iam from quebec and i usally speak french so for me it is more difficult to really get all the words,but I am ”body oriented” and that i got and love very much
last night ibought inner game in the evening and i have listen to it 3 times during the night and feel great this morning
iam on holidays in the keys for 2 more weeks
iwill try to listen to it while waking on the beach on my i pod so then i should not fall asleep
thank you very much, your work is genious
sorry for my english,it is not my mother tongue
hope one day your work will be available in french so I could share it with my friends as I imagine that it is important to also get your words
love and gratitude to you

Being enligtened is being HERE NOW”
osho
Hi France,
Thanks for the post. My first suggestion is to skip the intro section – just skip ahead in the track and you’ll get past the intro. About 15 minutes in is where the ‘installation’ begins. Everything prior to that really is an ‘introduction’.
As for why it’s a more hectic up front – that was intentional. Kiela and I were designing a piece that would keep people alert and conversational in the beginning.
I’m glad you’re feeling great and that you’re able to let go into the experience even though English isn’t your first language. It really is all about the experience anyway. Ken and Stacey were recently telling me a story about listening to a Hopi medicine man and that he only spoke Hopi and they spoke no Hopi at all. And so everyone in the group just ‘got’ that they had to let go of thinking it was about the words and just go for the ride. And just like that – they got the intended experience.
The HERE NOW of enlightenment is so much bigger than words. And Installing Inner Game was designed as an expression of that presence.
Namaste,
Devon
Devon,
While listening to the track yesterday, I couldn’t help but think that this was the missing piece….it’s like I was paying attention to myself on a global level rather than paying attention to the small nuances. Wonderful, empowering work! Thank you!!
I would like to know ….it is a longer piece… would it be effective if you were to produce a shorter version as well so it can be done more often. It may be easier to fit in a 1/2 hr on days that the hour is hard to find.
Hi Gem,
Love your response! Reminds me of Shel Silverstein.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCmZ2jrQooE)
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. As for shorter versions – we’re already working on version 1.2 and let me say, we’re taking it to a whole new level.
Secondly, if you want to email me I’m happy to help you get the entire piece in tracks so you can listen to one track at a time for a simple refresher.
You can email me at devon (at) installinginnergame (dot) com
Cheers,
Devon
I have tried a variety of meditation techniques and this one was enjoyable. I am glad I found the 70 minutes to do the install. I agree that a shorter version would be an excellent tool to utilize for when you need a quick tune-up/tune-in.
Thanks for sharing this enlightenment and a creative way to access it. I connected w/ you through Give Graditude site, an organic connection.
I have been studying compassionate communication through Marshall Rosenberg, explored being engaged w/ Pace e Bene, uncovered deep listening while navigating conflict management through Dominic Barter’s Restorative Circles, and most recently been experiencing the sweetness of now while being WellAware and learning the basics of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction… you all are getting to the same point, to know yourself is to listen to your inner self and to discover how you feel. When you know how you feel, you will know what you need.
Thanks for the trip within.
Peace, Julie
Hi Julie,
I’m glad you enjoyed the trip. I’m thrilled for the general evolution of consciousness that’s rolling over our planet. And I’m pleased to be add something push-button and powerful to the roster.
As for listening to your inner self, personally I would say it a bit differently. I would say, learn the neurosomatic experience of how you are when you’re at your best and then learn how to maintain that at all times in all contexts.
In other words, there’s a very specific way that your body (and entire system) organizes itself when you’re in the Flow or as i call it, the Default. That particular organization is very personal. It’s also the same every time you’re in it. Because it’s the same – you can learn how to replicate it AND when you do, you’ll be in that state. Simple and powerful.
So, the key is learning how you ‘do you’ when you’re like that and then ‘locking it in’. Like this there is no inner and outer you – just you…centered…balanced…and immersed in the profundity of all that is.
Thanks for writing.
Peace in,
Devon
Hello, love the game, but is it normal to have a douser of an headache after listenning to it. p.s. i don’t dare to listen to it again.
thank you
Rachel
Hi Rachel,
Love your comment. And it is NOT uncommon to get a headache after your first listen. For the small but real percentage of people who have that experience it’s usually followed by a massive and very positive internal shift.
Just about three weeks ago I got a report of someone listening to the entire thing, getting a headache, going to sleep, and then waking up two hours later more relaxed than he’d been in a decade.
Results vary but there’s inevitably a major net gain.
Thanks for letting me know. Glad you went for the trip.
Warmly,
Devon
Coooooooooooooooool! Like go back to before I believed everything I believe! I love me! (I love youse guys too!)
Hey, what about listening to it on continuous play while I sleep? I want more more more!
Gracias
laurabelle
Hey Laurabelle!
I’ve had people listen to it during sleep, in meditation, on the subway, at work, while they work out – you name it. During sleep is fine and for some, quite powerful. Let me know how it goes.
And we love you too. Before and after everything you believe. ; )
Keep enjoying!
~Devon
Devon,
I have the same question Robin has: The manual mentions that the audio has tracks,
but I only have one continuous mp3 file, approx 1:11 minutes long. Is there any way to
divide this up into tracks, so I don’t have to listen to the introduction every time?
I love the audio, so keep up the good work!
Dharmananda
Thank you so much for sharing your work through Gratitude.
The first install was not an amazing experience, because I was “monitoring” the information. I didn’t want to be ‘hypnotyzed’ or ‘programmed’ by anybody. Once I “felt’ that this was not the case, my second install was much more enjoyable.
Some questions:
Am I suppose to feel something?. I am asking this, because the whole process seems to be mental for me. I ‘feel’ my brain, so to speak, but nothing else. No emotions and no particular thoughts, which make it hard to answer some of the questions during the install.
Is there a recommended frequency to listen to it?.
Can I have the tracks, so I can skip the intro?.
Thank you very much. Beautiful and powerful work.
Hi Danska,
It’s my pleasure – thanks for giving it a whirl. As for your first ‘install’ – given how you went into it, that sounds about on par with what I would expect. Glad your second time was enjoyable.
re: your questions – The entire program is designed to help you become more deeply acquainted with your body. The best way to do this is to stop listening and simply allow yourself to hear the words. Allow your body to make sense of it all – that’s what it was written for and that’s where the deepest learning occurs.
Also, just go with the flow. Whatever your experience is will be perfect. It’s designed to unpack for several weeks after installation. Then if you listen again, you’ll ‘get’ a lot you didn’t the first times through.
As for recommended frequency – whatever feels right for you. If you like the messages and suggestions do it as often as you like. I’ve had students who’ve listened several times a day for about a month and then felt like they really got what it had to offer. Others who listened once a week. At this point we’re still gathering information on which ways have the most impact for which people. On that note – if you come to some conclusion for yourself I’d love to hear about it.
When I designed IIG I thought, ‘if someone can listen to this and process every word and every sentence in-time, then they will have gotten all this product has to offer’. That was my main intention. Secondary to that was that they would be able to use the elicitation tracks regularly to build and deepen the embodiment of their Default.
As for having the tracks – email me at devon (at) installinginnergame (dot) com and I’ll get them to you.
Thanks for your feedback and questions!
~Devon
WOW, what great information and and new way to present it. Thanks Much!!!!!!!!!
Right on James! Thank YOU.
Short, sweet and to the point.
Glad you’re enjoying it.
Rock on.
~Devon
Hi Devon!
Isn’t it ironic that we are born into these massive meat shields and sent off onto the battlefields of life without any real instruction as to how to use them?
Thank you for IIG. I am an artist and a single mom with a full time job and have used meditation to help keep myself centered (and relatively sane) for over 30 years. I have found that it is harder in recent years to maintain and sustain what you have named the Default State. Especially so now in light of the economical and professional challenges i am currently facing. I was very excited to read the e-mail from go gratitude and clicked right away to download IIG. I read the manual first and was so inspired by what I read that I could hardly wait to hear audio. The first time i tried to listen to it i found the sounds and voices seemed to strike discord within my personal harmony almost like an assault to my system. I became so frustrated with the intensity of it that i barely listened to more than 20 minutes before giving up.
Now here’s the fun part…
The next day at work all during the day i was almost bipolar inside. My moods would shift quickly into these dark upheavals of emotional distress with no apparent outside trigger. Then instantly I would remember something i read in the manual or heard at the beginning of the tape that made sense and quickly zero in on some tiny little embedded inner trigger that I had never noticed before. I spent most of the day picking out prickles as if i had rolled my psyche in cactus….lol… and…I begin to wonder if i gave up too soon. I made up my mind to try again and found that the second time i was better prepared for the “discord” and listened to the entire session. My next two days were much better and I find myself noticing with each install that I hear and understand more deeply. Plus I am finding that all the emotional “vomit” is probably just my personal reaction to the realignment. I think too much as someone who has an extremely sensitive self-built nature often will do so it was more helpful for me to tiptoe in from the shallow end as opposed to diving from the high board.
Thanks for the operation instructions to the meat shield, seriously, long overdue. This world is changing with or without us and IIG is a great tool to help us be present in gratitude and wonder for every nuance of that change.
This beautiful gift could not have come at a more important time for me. I will keep listening and learning and growing………….peace…………….rainey
Rainey,
Thank you so much for your in-depth response. As a single dad I certainly appreciate where you’re coming from.
And you have no idea how many times I thunk myself on the head and ask aloud – “how were we not given operating instructions by someone on how to use these things!?”
So, I did my best to start putting those instructions together (IIG is actually just the tip of the iceberg but more on that soon).
Your experience of discordance in the opening tracks is not at all out of the ordinary and, as i’ve said to a number of people in comments above, feel free to email me – devon (at) installinginnergame (dot) com to get the single track version of it. That way you can skip the first few tracks which are designed with an intentional amount of *noise* to keep people up, awake and aware.
And yes, the stuff we’re doing on IIG is a massive update which for some people often is accompanied with some degree of discomfort. That said, it’s pretty minimal compared to the pain of the years of ineffective psychoanalysis our society currently peddles for as a cure for not having good operating insturctions ; )
Thanks again for your thoughtful response to my life’s work and Kiela and my undertaking in IIG.
Enjoy the updating!
~Devon
Hi Devon
Like a few other posters, I didn’t find it so different from my usual practices – especially my Taoist work. Nonetheless it is a nice change and who knows what might come on repeated listenings.
And I will need repeated listenings. Why? Although an English speaker, I’m not American. While I’m extremely familiar with the General or Standard American accent used in film and TV, and while both you and Kiela have accents very close to GenAm, there are just some words from you both that I couldn’t understand first time through – and it was distracting enough to jolt me away from process while my mind asked “What did he/she say?”. I resisted the urge to rewind and managed to get back into it quickly but it was slightly annoying.
I also found the sound the first track (after install begins) to be a little ominous – but then that probably is just my own quirks shining through!
Cheers
Karen
Lovely to hear that you’re finding similarities to your Taoist work in IIG, Karen. And since you already have those kinds of categories developed IIG should have a special kind of impact for you.
And yes! some of the sounds are supposed to be ominous. As Kiela said in another comment,
“You’re right in noting that not all of the music is soothing. I wasn’t trying to make people feel good in every moment of the experience, per se. I was using sound to create the container for them to feel something different than what they already know. ”
Cheers,
Devon
Hi Devon,
I can’t recall a time when I’ve felt so simultaneously annoyed and enthusiastic! The annoying part – is the music (if you can call it that) and that woman’s voice. The awesome part is the CONTENT – I think it’s super-amazing – and I’ve explores LOTS of stuff – but tell me – what’s the purpose of the background din??? Anyway, I listened to it yesterday and Ifeel an AWESOME SHIFT IN CLARITY about what I want and how to do it. Of course I would love to listen/install again, but just don’t look forward to the boom shika boom boom…… If I could hear what the reason you did it like this, I might be happier to experiernce it… Thank you! Cynthia
Hi Cynthia,
I spoke with Kiela (the musician and vocalist) about your comment. We appreciate your feedback and are both wondering what you think should be there instead. Thoughts?
As for why we did it the way we did it – in part we’re using the music and soundscapes to drive the experience and complement the content. Both Kiela and my musical tastes are quite eclectic which allowed Kiela to draw on a diverse range of sounds and styles to help make drive those experiences.
Future versions will be using soundscapes and effects to a more precise degree in order to link state experiences from one piece of behavioral software to the next – the same thing we were doing with the Default sound in this one.
Looking forward to your thoughts and comments.
~Devon
Hi!
This is amazing! The creative sound takes me into various trance states. The only problem is, I haven’t found out yet how to hear the content and stay awake….
Haven’t noticed any effect in my conscious world yet – after 3-4 sessions.
Does it work while sleeping?
In great gratitude
Judy
Hi Judy,
I’m going to answer with something that the smartest man I’ve ever met said to me.
I was at Howard Bloom’s house – if you can call it that. He doesn’t. He calls it an information nest or some such thing. It’s a library of media with cassette tapes, VHS, DVD’s computers, televisions and every other kind of music you could imagine spilling from every nook in every corner.
He said when he’s not writing or researching or teaching or leading teaching groups he’s almost always intaking information – even when he sleeps. At that point I looked next to his bed and took in the two computers that have nightlong science podcasts cued up for him to listen to while he sleeps.
“Do you retain information you get while you’re sleeping?” I asked.
“No,” he replied, “but I feel like I’m learning.”
Im not much for subliminals and sleep work – but I have a number of people who claim that IIG yields massive results when played at night – so, have at it!
I would recommend starting about 15 minutes in and just listening until you feel like dozing off. Go for the ride while you’re awake. And when you get tired – stop. : )
Enjoy!
~Devon
Devon,
One question. Does this work if listening to while falling asleep and sleeping? Thank you for you.
Hugs,
Vicki
Hi Devon,
I listened to the install 3 times over the weekend which also happened to be coincide with my birthday. What a birthday present!
Over the past 2 years, following learning a new meditation technique and using it for long periods, I developed feelings of energy in my body, internal but felt very physically. These have intensified over the course of the 2 years and caused considerable discomfort, pain, bliss, energy shifts, great highs, great lows, insights, insomnia etc. I now have constant energy pouring through my body as though the top of my head is open and energy is just pouring through. I have tried so many things to try to calm this down, controling it, ignoring it, loving it etc but it seems to have a will of its own (well you get the drift, I had past the desperation stage and have just given up realising that I have no control at all over this).
While listening to the install I felt the energy moving to differnt parts of my head and felt more grounded than I have done for a long time. It was very pleasurable and I really felt like a “somatic pleasure ship” as though my body just wasn’t there any more. I have listened 3 times in all now. I still have the energy movement, just as strong as ever but feel that this sort of thing could help tremendously rather than all the gurus, yogis, teachings, advice that I have sought help from in the past that just seemed to make matters worse. I am really keen to know more and thank you for this remarkable information and your willingness to share it with everyone.
Many thanks,
Glynis
Glynis,
What a cool and interesting post – thanks. And I know how disconcerting the kinds of energy and insights you’re talking about can be so I’m really pleased that IIG helped with that.
And the somatic pleasure ship is a wonderful way to ground and distribute energy. In fact it’s actually one of the most potent and important parts of IIG because it sets the stage for the next level of work. Being able to actually operate with the level of power and energy of which our bodies are capable begins with really getting into and enjoying the sensual and sensate experience.
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Namaste,
Devon
I am confused. I installed this, and listened once – now I am wanting to listen more, and connot find it, cannot re-download it, cannot fiind any way to contact you and ask questions. It is annoying, and unclear. I am “trying” to go to my default so that I can write this in an understandable fashion.
I am using windows vista, on a computer that was set-up by the store where I bought it, and is unintelligible to me. I have been using a computer since they first came out, so I am not exactly a beginner, but I am very frustrated because I cannot find this file. I have several files called Inner game or Installing Inner game, but they are not the relaxation file that I originally llistened to. I did pay some for my copy, so it’s not that – sigh————–.
Can you help me out here please?
Teddy,
If you’ll email me at Ken (at) installinginnergame.com, i’ll make sure to get you back on track.
Best,
ken
Hi, Devon. Your mail devon (at) installinginnergame (dot) com is not working. Is there another way to get your tracks?.
Thank you.
Hello,
Where can I download the “Installing Your Inner Game” tracks?
I stumbled on this blog by accident but what I see truly interests me. Please advise. Thank you.
Hello-
I have downloaded but not yet listened to the Inner Game. I would like to know, does this recording use brain wave entrainment and/or binaural beats?
Thanks
WaterBird
Hi Waterbird,
The recordings use binaurals and take advantage of biosonic and psychoacoustic technologies.
Best,
Devon
Hi Devon, Great Work! I enjoyed the music but at time it was distracting to your voice. It cause me to pay focused attention. But perhaps this was the intent. Is that correct?
I have been aware of my body for more than 82 years and now with the use of current technology it confirms what I have instinctive known. I just want to express my appreciation for the work that you are doing.
Eaglejo
Eaglejo,
Thanks for your comment – it’s exactly the kind of comment that is very useful for us as we create future behavioral software.
I’m going to steal from one of Kiela’s responses to answer your comment:
“I wasn’t trying to make people feel good in every moment of the experience, per se. I was using sound to create the container for them to feel something different than what they already know. Sometimes, in our work that can mean accessing experiences that can be temporarily uncomfortable, as in yoga, for instance. Pulling away the curtain for a moment, I can tell you that there are things in there that are not meant to be warm and fuzzy at all. Specifically, I like the idea that some of the soundscapes create an interesting discomfort that resolves if you let yourself go for the ride.”
So yes, sometimes we intended to cause you to pay focused attention.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
Gratefully,
Devon
Hey Devon, Hey Kiela,
Thanks so much for this wonderful application of technology, art ,philosophy, spirituality and tripped-outness!
I’m very impressed with the fact that you have taken information common to many of us who have been traveling this path for decades, (all us old hippie/meditator types…) and are using a vocabulary that is currently ubiquitous (computer terminology) and an array of innovation (music tracks–mixing and tricks) that make it so accessibly translated for people in a medium (audio/mp3) and via a channel(the WEB!) that spans the GLOBE! How potent! I salute you two for being the current bearers of the message and thank you for knowing the present language for translating it! Wowie Zowie!
Now… a couple of questions; The pdf manual says there is an image to be used to key the inner game on p 22 but I do not have any images on p 22…any ideas? Is it the circle of dots on p 27?
It also says there is a sound that can be used to key the inner game…where is that on the audio? And can the intro be skipped or is it part of the trip?
Lastly, I’m also someone for whom deep silent states are not unfamiliar. I do notice that I’ve listened 3 times now and though I find each listen very pleasurable, I also notice that I am feeling some pretty uncomfortable inner shifting. I’m not sleeping well, I’m feeling an intensified lack of or difficulty in mental focus, I’ve been weepy and kind of ‘out of it’. I suspect this is fine as things are re-aligning at a deeper level. Does that check out with you? Or do you have another take or suggestion for this? Thanks again.
Many blessings,
~marian
Marian – love your post. Thank you on all counts.
And I love the frame too – ‘I salute you two for being the current bearers of the message ‘. Spoken like only someone who’s been around and knows the scoop could speak it. And it’s our honor to be two of the conduits for the message.
re: your questions:
1. Yes – it’s the circle of dots.
2. The sound is the long, deep sound you hear throughout IIG. There is a single version of that on the tracked version of IIG which Ken will be sending out soon.
3. Yes – the intro can be skipped. The tracked version will make it so that you can start on whatever track you like.
4. Yes – that totally checks out with me. If you read through the comments on the various videos I’ve posted you’ll come across that kind of experience a number of times. When I work with people one-on-one, when we’re done, they are usually psychically, emotionally and physically cooked. So, the deeper re-aligning is natural and some discomfort is not unusual simply because of the depth of the work. That said, if you have the muscle of silence already well-developed – you may want to tap into that as well. There’s no need to feel out of sorts for long if you already have the well of inner peace and silence to draw from.
Warm Regards,
~Devon
Thank you Devon and Kiela ! I have traveled seven times in the Innergame. I am certain it facilitates to fruition different timelines I set up before even accessing this wonderful and amazing/comforting/reassuring experience. By timelines I mean flows of activity intended for a particular outcome. Innergame is working retroactively for my business.
Great Gregory – glad to hear it!
The install is designed to spread out and work in every direction of our timescapes. Go retroactive business power!
Cheers,
Devon
My question is, what is the question?
(j/k)
I’ve had the dazed and trippy, kinda of “out of it” feelings as well. I read this blog after 3 installs (2 at night, 1 in the morning) and I am writing this AS I LISTEN to the 4th install ( I know my eyes are supposed to be closed and Im closing them off and on while listening) but I’ve clearly felt transmissions from the 1st install and how very powerful ther are indeed, (especially the breath and the heartbeats part, but certainly not limited to them alone).
Congrats on your artistic intents and manifesting the transmission of this fantastic photonic enlightening and healing energy.
Although the reorganization can be a little unpleasant, it shifts into a natural state of balance. I believe IIG is a tool to step up the process which is the reorganization, shift and ultimate leap that we as humanity are making. Life in the fast lane anyone???
Devon and Kiela, Thank you for everything you have done with your lifes’ work, for who you two are and thank you to Ken and Staci at GoGratitude – I was in the initial wave experiment and just loved it!!
Love, Light and Peace Always, Lynda
I forgot to mention that I cant sync it to my cell phone, which has the (windows medial player) MP3 player in it. Any ideas why not? Thanks, Lynda
Hi Lynda,
Thanks for your in-depth notes on the experience so far. It’s very useful for us as we work on upcoming behavioral software. And I’m thrilled you’re getting a lot out of IIG – that makes it all worth it for me.
As for the ability to sync the tracks on your phone – it should be possible. I have all Mac products including an iPhone and I know it’s possible to sync it there. I’m not sure if we’ve worked this one out or not but you can contact our support department and ask by emailing: support (at) installinginnergame (dot) com
Hope they can help!
Big Love,
Devon
Hai Devon,
Here a little note from Holland!
I thought the innergame was an awesom experience, I ve never before listend to anything that could keep me ‘awake’ and fully in contact with ALL my senses !! And that was, i believe, just the start, since I’ve only listend to it once yet. Now I find myself planning and thinking ‘when do I have time for the next ride done this rabbit hole?’ : )
This is so cool, I want to share it with all my friends here in Holland.
Wouldnt it also be great if for some of my friends at least the manual could be in Dutch? Maybe I will give it a shot and translate it…… ?…
Further more I really think you clever combined insights from divers theories. I can recognize some of the ‘text’, but you know how that can go, reading a book about live and lives experiences will not give you any Real insight on how live could be experienced!
And all that info tends to go no further then ‘inside your head’ ,
it will then take a lot of real live practise to integrate what ever you have read into your live, with no practical manual at hand, for everybody will have a different approach…the transformation of all that info into a language that not only ‘the head’ will understand, but can be felt on a deep emotional level, and then after that into the embodiment will allways take some pratice and time. One can experiment with different approaches but will they resonate with you in the way you would want to be ‘touched’ ?
Listening to your audio has a much deeper impact then any understanding coming from books, or even for me after nine years of practicing Tai Chi! Your audio truly has a big potential not to reach ‘out’ and touch, but to reach ‘in’ and be touched.
extraordinary, ….what more words can i find describing my experience : )
So I want to keep you posted on my progress, I hope you will do the same at your end : )
With love,
Erna
Erna,
Thank you so much for writing. What you’re describing above has been the main focus of my work for the past decade and a half. Namely, how do I deliver the actual EXPERIENCE rather than just the words or ideas? How can we wind the wisdom into our muscles and make it embodied so that people can benefit from all this amazing knowledge and wisdom we’ve accrued as a species over the long years?
I’m so pleased that we’re on the right track to making that happen. It’s only going to get better
And I’ll most certainly be keeping you posted. There’s a lot lot lot to come. This is just the beginning.
With love back to you,
Devon
Hey there Devon~
Thank you for your work and your being. What a gift!
So far I’ve loved it. I’ve only listened 3 times and only fully listened to it once, because it puts me into such a trans state, I end up falling asleep!
I haven’t noticed much change yet, but interestingly, after listening to it my first time twice in one day, the next day I suddenly fell ill with a wicked flu or stomach bug. Upon reflection, it seems like no small coincidence in which the installations started and the germs/sickness in my body was forcing and allowing me to “let go” from both ends.
I will continue to listen, learn and let go, so I may become full with the new. We will see what happens. I would love to know more and am very interested in all of this, being a avid learner of mind-body-spirit realms and subjects, among others.
In Love and Laughs,
Samantha Shatek
Samantha – thanks for commenting, although I’m not sure I’ll be leading with yours as our number one testimonial:
IIG – “forcing you to ‘let go’ from both ends”.
But on a more general note – what you’re describing is not unfamiliar in a number of the comments on this blog. A good number of people have experienced some imbalance after first listening to IIG only to have it followed up with an extreme sense of ease and balance throughout their lives. I hope you find the same results.
In love and certainly laughing with you,
~Devon
I was not able to download inner game – is this for high speed only?
Hi Lynn,
Unfortunately since the file is so large people with dial-up connections are finding it difficult if not impossible to download. I believe Ken sent out another version of the file with tracks recently – maybe you’ll have more luck with that.
Cheers,
Devon
Hi Devon,
Fantastic programming. Wow! I am really impressed with the whole concept of the “innergame” and am finding it to be having an incredible inpact. It has been my goal for some time now to be able to live in a neutral to positive “default” state. I find that this tool you have created is an ideal way for me to move towards this as a consistant state of being. After listening just two times I am finding myself becoming aware of my state of “being” hundreds of times throughout my day. It seems that I semi-automatically click into my default state which occurs similtaneouly with my awareness that I am at some point not in it.
The physical shift for me starts with a conscious breath from the lower abdomen vs. the upper chest breathing that I usually find myself using when I am not in this default state. Next I become mentally aware of my “awareness” and this follows with a sort of melting of my senses into one communal sense and I notice that the outer corners of my lips turn up. Sort of an inner/outer energetic clearing/smile.
I really appreciate the effort you have put forth to make this available to all of us and I have sent your link to many of my friends. I am a person who is very conscious of the thoughts that I allow to be injected into my brain and I think it is phenomenal that you are able to put together 1:11 minutes of thought that pass through my editing process as exceptable thoughts be allow myself to permanately internalize. I have noticed while reading some of the other comments on your blog that people tend to have sensitivities to certain words. One person did not resonate with the term “locked up” and preferred other verbage etc. For me there is only one sentence that I have not been able to find a way to flow with and the is at 7:45 minutes into the programming where it says “After you were born you had parents and they screwed you up” … I really don’t want to internallize that thought and it isn’t true for me and hopefully for my children either. I know that you mean it in a general sense but it seems like you could really use some better verbage. In one of your blog responses you refer to the same concept by saying “our parents, our schools, and our media have unintentionally riddled our Human Operating Systems with behavioral viruses. ” this wording flows with me in a much smoother way. It does not seem that there is much gain in programming our mind to to blame any one for our other then optimal mental programming but I get that it is good to have the understanding and awareness that we have infact been intentionally and unintentionally programmed throughout our lives.
I am wondering if there is some way other then skipping the first eight minutes of this fabulous programming that I would be able to edit that sentence or if there is a format that you would be able to send out your programming in where people who have adversity to a certain word or phrase could just go in and delete it or record over it. Basically a way to customize this progamming so it has a perfect fit for each individual. Just a thought.
I celebrate and applaud you and all of the thought and time and energy you have put into this project and I so excited that something like this has become accessible for our minds.
THANK YOU!!!
Denise
Hi Denise,
Great comment – thank you.
What you’re talking about with the parent thing is spot on. I get what you’re saying and actually considered not including it. On a similar note I also considered not including ‘locked in’. I believe those were actually the only two phrases I considered changing.
After a lot of consideration, the reason that I left them is that ultimately, I decided they would do the most good for the most people as is.
Language is a funny thing and often times I find myself having to give people opposite messages at different times in their life. My intention with that early statement is – “Hey, we’re all screwed up, and we’re all perfect. Why? Because we were born, we had parents, and life happened. Being human is a wild ride and even the best of us need to trouble shoot our systems a little as time goes on.”
So, it’s nothing against parents at all. Quite the opposite actually. My entire position is one of total responsibility. As far as I’m concerned, claiming responsibility for all of the feelings you have and the meanings you make is necessary for anyone that wants to really embody their own power and Purpose.
As for how to edit it – the only way to do it on the tech side right now is if you open it up in Garage Band or some such program and delete it or mash it up with something else. Customized programming is still a few years in the future for us. However, IIG is all about being your own programmer. I like to let people give me suggestions all the time because it’s fun and it allows me to try on other people’s realities. That said, a lot of people give a lot of bad suggestions so I have an internal editor. Nothing ever gets in that is antithetical to the programming i want. I just change the meaning to something i like or give myself a different instruction. Simple and easy.
Thanks for your thoughts and astute observations, Denise!

Hi Devon
Thanks for sharing IIG. I listened to it twice and I enjoyed it each time. I can fully resonate to what you are saying about the default state. I am a craniosacral therapist and during my training something similar to what you impart is being taught in the course. In craniosacral therapy is it called the Breath of Life (“BOL”), a term coined by Dr. William Sutherland.
In our course we were taught various meditation exercises so that we can access our BOL. These exercises are available at http://www.bodyintelligence.com.
I have been integrating this BOL or like you say being in the default state all the time. I find IIG brings more clarity to honour true being.
I wonder whether you have heard of Paul Scheele of Learning Strategies Corporation and Holosync. Scheele incorporates the background music from Holosync. I have been listening to Holosync as well as some CDs of Paul Scheele. Paul Scheele’s work sounds similar to IIG, although I feel Scheele’s work is more hypnosis rather than being embodied within ourselves.
Greetings Devon,
Thanks so much for this wonderful tool. I have been recommending it to most of my friends. I especially like that it has a more scientific /high tech feel to it than many of the “spiritual” meditations that might turn some people off to the work.
For me I am finding that it is a perfect compliment to other work I am doing in accessing conscious awareness and expanded states of being (Jeddah Mali). I also very much appreciate that it gives solid tools for readily accessing this state in our everyday reality. I never knew how much I squint! You are saving me from crow’s feet!
I am however, confused about where to find the Default symbol and sound? I read the whole manual, was the symbol the circle of dots at the end of it? If so, how do i copy it out of the PDF file? And how do I access the Default sound from the recording?
Also, I do want to comment on one thing in the install that is troubling to me, and that is the rather harsh voice that is “scolding” how negative thought forms are a “bad habit”. While the concept is understandably correct, the way it is presented does not feel like a positive message/energy that I want to imbed in my psyche. I would encourage you to shift this in the next version.
It would also be interesting to have a version in which the music is a bit less provocative, for an older audience, and for those who cannot listen to this type of music for whatever reason. For instance, my mother would be interested in this, but the intensity of the sound would not work for her at all.
With Gratitude,
WaterBird
I just found your blog by accident while searching for self help information. The item you are talking about in your video sounds like something I could really use right now. My wife just took our kids and left me. I have not seen or talked to them now in over a week. I am now going from living in a nice 3 bedroom home to a small RV. I really could use a reset button right about now. However, I could not find the download for this anywhere. Could you please e-mail me the download link.

I was just going to post a short anonymous coward post to tell you, Devon and associates, that I think your efforts are awesome and so worthwhile, and I really appreciate what you are doing in the world! Just discovering your stuff was such a big confirmation that the way I feel is valid, that it was almost all I’ve needed to put me there full time, finally. But the tools you provide impress me in that they seem to me to be the first really effective tools available (at least that I’ve found) that can really help large numbers of people who need help knowing what they are. I’ve been waiting for somebody to combine audio and secular, scientific ideas of this nature in just this way, and you guys are very good.
Then, before I began my post, I read WaterBird’s comment above and I am also motivated to voice my agreement with some of what this person said. I like the energy of the inner game very much. I think I am of an age and mindset that is close enough to yours that I can relate very well. I have found myself wondering though, how would this sound to a different audience? Would they be put off by the provocativeness and intensity? I realize that a certain amount of both is intentional and necessary, but I can’t help but wonder if it could be tailored to be more appealing to somebody such as my mother.
Thank you again. You’ve released something really wonderful into the world.
I have absolutely no idea how to get Installing Inner Game (I actually downloaded it and found the RAR was locked with a password), any tips on how I can share in the experience or what the password is?
Hi Devon,
I paid a donation, but when i click on the download link i get… this is a test page.
please help
