How the Tya Operating System Actually Works

Where it came from.

Why it exists.

And who it’s for.

If you’ve spent any time around Tya and found yourself curious but cautious, this page is for you.

Not to convince you.

Not to push you forward.

Just to explain clearly what this work actually is, where it came from, and why it exists.

What is Tya?

Tya is an operating system for human experience.

It provides a clear structure for how emotion, attention, belief, and perception function together, so conscious creation becomes practical, repeatable, and grounded in real life.

Rather than adding techniques or philosophies, Tya integrates what already works and places it into a coherent architecture that holds under pressure.

How It’s Used

  • People use Tya to identify and resolve the emotional patterns that quietly dictate their decisions

  • To reduce internal friction and reactivity without suppressing emotion

  • To make clearer, calmer choices under pressure

  • To operate from preference and appreciation rather than fear or judgment

Who It Tends to Serve

Tya tends to resonate with people who are already functioning well in the world.

They’re capable, responsible, and often successful by conventional standards.

What’s missing isn’t intelligence, motivation, or effort.

It’s internal coherence.

These are people who may have done therapy, personal development, spiritual work, or deep self-inquiry, yet still notice friction where there shouldn’t be any. Emotional reactivity. Repeating patterns. A sense that their inner operating system hasn’t kept pace with the life they’ve built.

Tya is for those who are ready to treat their inner world with the same seriousness they apply to their career, health, or craft. Not as a project to fix themselves, but as a system to refine how they operate.

What Tya Is Not

Tya is not a belief system, a philosophy, or something you are asked to accept on faith.

It doesn’t require adopting an identity, worldview, or spiritual framework.

It doesn’t ask you to override emotion, bypass difficulty, or “stay positive.”

There are no rules to follow, no hierarchy to submit to, and no dogma to internalize.

Tya is applied, experiential, and self-verifying. If it doesn’t produce clarity and measurable change in your lived experience, it doesn’t work — and it isn’t something to continue.

Who Created It

Tya was created by David Strickel after years of applying, testing, and refining this work in real-world conditions.

What began as a personal necessity evolved into a structured system as others began experiencing consistent, repeatable results using the same framework.

The system was later developed in collaboration with psychologist Dr. Michael DiMarco, integrating psychological rigor with applied emotional intelligence and conscious creation.

Together, the work reflects a balance of lived experience, practical application, and professional grounding — without theatrics, mysticism, or performance.

The Tya Mastermind

Who Stewards

the System

The Tya Mastermind is composed of practitioners and thinkers from disciplines including psychology, medicine, business, science, and education.

Their contribution is not ideological or theoretical. Each applies the system directly in their own life and work, and participates in its refinement through lived results rather than belief.

This group exists to steward the integrity of the system.

This is the fastest and cleanest way to continue —

even if you’ve been here before.

This path is for those who feel ready to explore what applying the work more deeply would look like.

You’ll be guided through a short, adaptive process designed to bring clarity around what comes next.

You’ll answer a few focused questions so the next step — whether that’s continuing independently or having a conversation — is clear and appropriate.

Clarity replaces guessing.
