Cutting the Ties that Bind
Growing Up and Moving On
Epigraph
Freedom is independence from externals. One who is in need of the help of another person, thing or condition is a slave thereof. Perfect freedom is not given to any man on earth, because the very meaning of mortal life is relationship with and dependence on another. The lesser number of wants, the greater is the freedom. Hence, perfect freedom is absolute desirelessness.

Preface of the Editor / First Revised Edition
Once Phyllis had received the Method Cutting the Ties that Bind, she committed to spread the Method to as many people as possible exactly the way she had been shown. The Phyllis Krystal Foundation is happy to present you the revised edition of the first book published in 1982.
The highlighted in grey emphasized text passages are remarks of the editor and contain additional information given by Phyllis Krystal since the first edition in 1982.
Preface of the Author
It will be easier for the reader to understand this book if he or she will bear in mind that it deals primarily with symbols. A symbol is a device by which a message can be carried effectively to the subconscious part of the mind. Symbols are effective because the language of the subconscious mind is composed of symbols and pictures.
The subconscious mind is primitive or childlike and the symbols used to communicate with it should be chosen accordingly. Just as children learn more quickly and easily in a relaxed atmosphere through play and games, so the childlike part of the mind thrives when appropriate methods are used to impress upon it whatever the conscious mind wishes it to understand and carry out.
Rituals with their underlying messages also impress the subconscious mind, especially if they are charged with emotion and performed in a serious manner. The techniques, rituals and symbols presented in this book are all capable of impressing positive messages on the subconscious mind in order to offset some of the negative conditioning that may have been received earlier in life.
The reader will therefore benefit to a greater degree if criticism or evaluation are held in abeyance: the various techniques should not be dismissed as being too childish to be effective. By consciously withholding judgement, the readers subconscious mind will be allowed an opportunity to participate and benefit from the positive conditioning presented by the symbols. Unless the subconscious mind is impressed, no changes can be made in a persons life, no matter how much he may consciously desire to change and evolve.
Acknowledgments
I acknowledge the help of all the people who have worked with me, whose problems and questions have elicited answers which have resulted in the development of the techniques outlined in this book.
Introduction
This book presents a method by which liberation from all the various sources of false security can be achieved. This method enables a person to become an independent and whole human being, relying only on the inner source of security and wisdom which is available to everyone who seeks its aid. This discipline is the culmination of an experiment of more than twenty years, started by another woman and myself. We first met while we were both engaged in investigating various methods which we hoped would help us to find more meaning to life.
