Kelly Clements, a seasoned personal development coach with over a decade of experience, embarked on a mind-bending journey with The Passion Company’s Imagination Technology Guided Upgrade. Having delved into numerous self-improvement programs, she was eager to compare this program to her previous experiences.
A Seasoned Explorer of The Self
Kelly came to IT with an impressive resume of personal growth work:

And much more
Diving into the Deep End
From the very first session, it was clear that Imagination Technology was going to push Kelly to think in new ways. The program's core theories - Day One Theory, Blank Slate Theory, and Quantum Self Theory - challenged her existing understanding of time, mind, and identity.
Kelly's initial reactions ranged from curiosity to skepticism:
"Conceptually, I understand it," she said about the Quantum Self Theory, "but I still get snagged on the time piece."
This tension between understanding and confusion became a recurring theme in Kelly's journey. As she put it, "When I don't think about it, [I feel] liberated. And when I think about it, confused."
Wrestling with Big Questions
Kelly’s comprehension of time and memory was tested by The Day One Theory, which posits that the body transcends time. This concept prompted deep discussions on how we retain past experiences. Kelly applied this idea to her children’s education, discovering it reduced stress and fostered new opportunities.
Throughout the program, Kelly grappled with profound questions:
How can memories or anticipation raise our vibration if the body doesn't exist in time?
What's the difference between spirit and soul?
How do we reconcile the idea of the mind as a blank slate with our lived experiences?
These weren't just abstract philosophical musings for Kelly. She constantly sought to connect the theories to real-life applications, testing them against her own experiences and those of her clients.
From Problem-Solving to Opportunity Capture
Kelly was then introduced to the concept that the mind's natural state is empty rather than full. This resonated with her previous mindfulness experiences, but she continued to grapple with questions about memory and its effects on present experience. Her engagement led to rich explorations of how memories and bodily reactions influence our perception of time.
One of the most significant shifts for Kelly came in her overall approach to personal development. She realized she had been operating primarily in "problem-solving mode" for much of her life. Through IT, she began to see the potential for "opportunity capture" instead.
"I think a lot of times I'm in problem solving mode historically," Kelly reflected. "And I do feel myself shifting more into like, I'm done. I've healed so much... now I'm just ready to move forward."
This shift from focusing on fixing weaknesses to expanding possibilities aligned perfectly with IT’s aim of accelerating conscious evolution.
The Ongoing Journey
In the final week, Kelly was introduced to the most abstract concepts, including ideas about multiple timelines and the essence of passion. This challenged Kelly’s thinking, broadening her perspective on reality and her personal capabilities.
After completing the four-week program, Kelly found herself with new ways of thinking about personal growth. While she didn't fully understand or agree with everything, she experienced several "aha" moments that shifted her perspective. The program challenged her to apply concepts to her own life, making the learning deeply personal.
Kelly’s journey exemplifies the transformative power of remaining open-minded, asking probing questions, and being courageous enough to question even our most deeply ingrained beliefs about our identities and capabilities. Although the Imagination Technology Guided Upgrade catalyzed substantial shifts in Kelly’s thought processes, it also presented her with intriguing questions that beckoned her for further exploration. This experience underscored Imagination Technology’s remarkable ability to challenge and broaden our perspectives, even for individuals with extensive personal development backgrounds.
