Towards Vanishing the Mind and Total Certainty of Teachings and Practices - no more searching

G. Buddha left a self-indulgent lifestyle and joined fasters and meditators and fasted to the bone, then he cleared his mind - vanished all its evils - sitting decisively under the famous tree.  It is a simple path.  Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao Te Ching keeps me steady.  I am retired and I also do strict dryfasting two weeks at a time....no food or water or bathing 24/7 for two weeks.  The body could go longer but psychologically I cannot, so two weeks it is so far.

I am now in my 13th two-weeks dryfasting session and body is still working internally.  I have done thousands of hours of strict dryfasting no less than 13-14 days at a time - more than any fasting guru or clinician.  The big purges occur from the ninth day on.  All but one of my unnatural food cravings is vanished. No more desire for grains or starches or meats or processed sweets; body loves ripe fruits and wakame seaweed broth. I bought a freezer and it is stocked with bags of frozen fruits.  The whole point is this is baby steps towards vanishing all compulsive cravings, starting with the "To Eat" sensation package. An eternal unlimited spiritual being can conjure up its own sensations without need to use a corporeal body as a via.  I'm much kinder and complementary now to the biochemical and anatomical needs of "my ape", haha.

The NCBI website confirms that a thyroid can be regenerated.  Body still working through parathyroid weaknesses, then it will move on to the cerebellum.  In between the long drys I adopted a lifestyle of one meal a day, being dry the rest of the day.  G. Buddha did better than I'm doing because he sat among those who fasted and meditated and that does help a lot.  I have no one but myself and one other person who struggles to correct the abuses to her body with dryfasting - she's starting to GET IT.  Take someone with you.

Due to surgeries and body abuses my brain and nerve function is impaired and long dryfasting restores the nerves and brain function. I am also now off all the decades long glandulars I had to take due to thyroid removed in 1971. The body intelligence will tell me when it is finished, and then I work steady to do what Buddha did to clear his mind. 

I administer a Facebook page, "Informed Dryfasting" and answer newbie questions about dryfasting on Quora.

I have a mentor (now un-berthed) who was the reincarnation of Lao Tszu, and he left a complete teaching and simple practices.  No more searching for "The Way".  This is a most blessed lifetime, and I do recall existences all the way back to the first separation from the creator of this universe. My skillful therapist helped me go from hatred and revenge to strong interest regarding the creator of this universe and I am much calmer now, not so easily triggered.  I actually saw the creator and how it viewed this universe - a saving grace.  What am I really?  "What are you?" is the proper script, and then a little bit of "What are you not?" for balance, heavily sprinkled before, during and after with 360-degree images to keep the hungry mind satiated.

In the early 90's I discovered Scientology and studied there for a few years and then left after seeing the degraded and degrading acts of upper management.  "Dianetics" and "Self-Analysis" and some other practices got me on the road, and I had some wonderful auditors, thank you.  I knew Ron Hubbard, but as they say in Buddhism, at some point in personal development one "kills the Buddha", moves on to simpler more concise and all encompassing teachings and practices, just me and chez moi  :-))

Hi Colleen,
its nice to read your intro here.  i too find the tao te ching an absolutely excellent descriptor of the goal.  i particularly like a translation by a russian mystic who puports to be a sort of "oversoul" thingy.  one of my earliest insights that these practices from different cultures are all ponting toward the same things came when i read an intro to the "Upanishads" which correlated deeply with the tao te ching.

the past life thing is tough for me to pin down in practice.  i was doing past life regression several years ago and had some pretty profound experiences which could have been actual past lives , but what does that really mean? i don't know.

when i sit to meditate and move through the different layers of mind i tend to do a big yawn at the stage we call here the A&P, or arising and passing away.  it is less predominant now than when it first appeared as a notable recurring event in my practice.

please keep posting

Hey Colleen,

Who is Rob Hubbard? A link to free dharma material is always great!

I'm glad you are open about past lives, I wish more practitioners were open to exploring or discussing this aspect of practice. I do understand why "psychic powers" are somewhat frowned upon, though, because they can be a distractor when it comes to insight. I personally know of one past life of mine, including a specific name and date, which was creepy at the time. I have a few others I suspect might be past lives, but it's hard to say for certain.

Look at Robert Monroe's books, his stuff is great for understanding past lives and why we incarnate. He was an atheist when he started having spontaneous OBEs, so he had to come up with his own framework. It's refershing to read about this topic without having to decode another culture or language.

What are your thoughts on future lives?

Eric

I stumbled into the past life while doing some self-hypnosis with the intention of seeing my past lives. I basically visualized a big white screen and asked to see a past life play out on it. There were some interesting scenes but nothing concrete, and I was getting frustrated. I firmly asked to see a past life that can be verified and I saw an image of a military uniform and got a very specific and unusual name. I did some research and found the person with that name, a military officer in the American Civil War. Very odd, but very interesting.

Right now my priority is vipassana as described in MCTB. I crossed the Arising and Passing Away two years ago without knowing what happened (vivid, colorful dream with mythic theme and explosions of consciousness) and found myself having a very difficult time in the Dark Night. Of course, I didn't know what was going on, so that was most of the problem. I've been a Dark Night yogi for this whole time and am gunning for stream entry. I've lost all siddhis I had before insight practice. Perhaps after stream entry I will be able to experiment with them some more.

I'm diggin' the eclectism you've got going.

IIRC dianetics was based on general semantics and cybernetics. I actually just posted a thread on general semantics here. And, as I understand it, L. Ron Hubbard ripped off Jack Parsons, who was a very fascinating Thelemite rocket scientist.

Speaking of Thelema.... Crowley did his own Tao Te Ching translation, with a few annotations. I think you might find it interesting.

Anyway, good luck on the path

Metta practice for last few days corresponds with my sessions to reduce thirst for sensation gotten from eating and drinking. Quite an interesting project, and supervised by my partner.   It is raising my awareness about processed foods and game strategies, and "to poison" is a non-life goal within the goal set of "To Eat...".  I notice my palate changing tastes, for example I noticed the ripe banana had complex flavors and textures and I realized I never really tasted it like that before these sessions.  Gradually I am able to retain my analytical awareness when confronted with processed foods.

My metta practice has been centered around (and around me) what is important to me regards "to eat", mostly food items and people I associate with eating.

Metta:  A Beautiful Mind

Ah ha!  My mind finally got stirred up enough to drive me indoors and do my practice.   It was a case of A did not want to know B and B was ignoring A in favor of knowing C, and D did not want to know A, and D also did not want to know B, and now especially since A made such a ruckus about it.   D wanted to know the aesthetic E's and be complementary in the situation,   "When in Trumanville, be as the Trumanvill'ers."   Futility of waking the sleepwalkers in that time and place -- could lead to upset and games conditions.  

- huge yawns, incident coming up for viewing
- the first time this life I longed to have a beautiful mind
- someone else's beautiful mind I admired and coveted
- "can't have"
- a beautiful mind co-opted by the ego, pride
-  Eckhart Tolle has a beautiful mind
-  is an unperturbed mind
-  is less [reactive] mind


How does a beautiful mind seem to you now?

More realistic expectations.  Letting go is important; however rehabilitating native abilities also important.

Metta Practice:  My Mind - all around me 6-directions repeatedly until no more change

NOTE:  I've become quite familiar with my mind, at least how it operates within the template of the possible goal sets of "To Know", interacting with others' same template.   What's beyond that I have yet to learn.  Still having fun taking this mind apart.

This a.m. did some mental judo:   My mind wanted to create all kinds of scenarios, dubbing in where there might be lack of real data to go on.  So I decided I can do consciously what my mind does robotically -- creating scenarios.

Also, I had an AHA! moment just deciding I was going to really look at my environment and feel it, touch it, and VOILA! "I'm here".  It was an Eckhart Tolle moment for sure   :-)   Laughter -- the joke's on me  :-)

New discovery:   A small bit of a yellow pill with the brand name of "lipodrene", a blend of stimulants including ephedra -- helps me exteriorize a bit from the psychic mass and metta sessions run better -- not such a grind.

My Mind:
-  keep seeing the pile of scrap wood partner wanted to bring home, still needing to be stashed somewhere.
-  mind wants to make judgements, i.e., it's good, it's bad
-  "No mind" very detached, no conception of a "problem"
-  mind eager to have a problem to solve, hungry for a problem
-  "No mind" amused by this swirl of psychic mass -- "my very own problem solver, gee thanks"
-  "A" must know the wood, "B" in self argument, "must know/must not know", and how can I push "A" into a must not know?
-  mind doing its job like a well oiled machine, but within its limitations of the postulate "must not know" the wood
-  I am reminded that freedom comes from being willing to experience anything
-  fear of rejection; aversion to revelation (being made to know something)
-  Aha! Mind is not capable of being complementary -- it must have a player in the game, an importance.
-  mind must compulsively create best use for this scrap wood -- gearing up to do just that
-  "No mind" amused -- "why must we?", with emphasis on "must".
-  oak flooring has value (reason why)
-  compulsion/fixation and postulate (must know) come before the "reason why"
-  I am amazed at how the mind can focus in on something to the degree it does, hence the term "narrow minded".  no 
   scale of importances at this moment.  For the mind nothing else exists at this moment except the oak flooring.
- so, in order to be complementary with partner I pose myself the question, "what is the best way to be complementary?"
-  answer is:  be him and find out
-  have no dog in this game and do what he wants and even contribute to his own reasons why for having it
-  feeling relief as I see the relation with the being is more important than relation with created things.  At a higher viewpoint it
   is all a solid and persistent illusion, but not so engaging at this higher viewpoint.
-  I also see my partner as a higher being and we are both looking at the game pieces on the playing field, amused in our
   own way.

How does my mind seem to me now?   It is mind and it does what it does and I feel less identified with it and I can use it or not use it; very grateful for the tools that allow me to lift off from the turmoil of the mind.   I am creating a scene of both of us unloading the wood as if we were one -- the one who created both of us.

Tears -- egoic mind crying a dirge.  Thank you to all the others who helped to make me realize the direction I was headed in and gave me a taste of contrasting bliss and serenity as a spur to keep up the good work.   So grateful -- this letting go.  May grace and mercy follow you.

11Sep14 Metta Practice, The Mind:

-  pride, ego
-  dominant postulate, "must be known"
-  mind seems all over the place now as opposed to being "narrow minded" in last sitting
-  many hippo yawns  :-)
-  very thankful that my mind is not me and that I see that more and more

How does my mind seem to me now?       Interesting as a subject for sitting, and why not?  -- I created it.   Life can be so simple without conflicting complexities of the mind.   Calm.


Have Another Create a Calm Mind:
-  yawns as some mis-emotion leaves
-  become the other person and "change my mind" as if I were that person
-  increased compassion and understanding for that person's travails -- what they are doing to themselves which they
   do not need to be doing
-  now receive an email from that person -- never receive any communication from that person -- just now

exteriorization of viewpoint is not necessarily a "leaving" -- it's more like an expansion, an enhancement of viewpoint

You've fascinated me.  I'm commenting so that I will be notified when you post more on this thread.  I know where you are going.  If you were in Arkansas, I would ask you to meet and sit with me.

Hello, Jeremy, kind regards.

Thank you for the example you set in doing your clearing work and encouraging others.

Your past life reminds me of when I interiorized into the precious and beautiful teardrop of a laughing Buddha and it seemed like eons were spent there going from extreme dark explorations of evil only to be lifted up into extremely ecstatic and brightened explorations with the help of angelic beings....to eventually exteriorize, able to laugh finally with -- and at my mind's creation of -- the Buddha.

"...I will teach him Not Buddha, not mind..."   --Tao Te Ching

When you sit, please contemplate my full return to "no mind", thank you.

14Sep14  Metta Practice:  The Mind:
  • clutter
  • simultaneous message of I must know/must not know my mind.  Repeat "I must not know my mind"
  • it is not nice to leave the game and twice as not nice to take someone with you
  • very important to make the distinction between what is "me" and what is my [reactive] mind
  • without mind what am I?    I see this mind as a framework of postulates and their opposing postulates.
  • It seemed like a good idea at the time  :-))
  • much laughter  --  joke is on me

End of process.   How does your mind seem to you now?  Okay and I get the idea I can take it apart and voluntarily create a mind and uncreate anew.  Scour the flesh and get to the skeleton of it - disassemble.

Have another create something:  

(to be continued)

15Sep14  Metta Practice, The Mind:

In doing this practice and keeping the process adressing a very general subject, i.e., "the mind", I find that my mind will give me any and all sub-topics of stuck importance and I'm getting adept at handling it and getting back to the general topic. 

I've noticed that my neurotic fears about the environment (tigers and snakes and spiders and ghosts, et al) is no longer a distraction (payback for being the archetypal "the writer of scary stories" -- serves me right, lol, scaring little kiddies like that)

I thought I was going to need thousands of hours of sitting to resolve a certain mental problem, did some i'net research and started taking borage seed oil -- problem gone  !     Appears one must pay a certain amount of homage to the lower life forms while still engaged in the process of unsticking identification as a body  :-))   Having an alkaline chemistry seems to be a basic importance for this body system, thus the Saatvic diet.

1st Process command:   "Create a beautiful mind" -- put it all around you 360 degrees

  • "beautiful mind" seems like an oxymoron
  • a mind engaged with higher aesthetics
  • "To Create/To be Created" games 
  • even a beautiful mind can be a trap unless one can knowingly, voluntarily create it and uncreate it
  • aesthetics seems to have been the first sensation lure, and "To Create..." the first sub-goal-set of "To Know..."but if I were to create a mind and play a game I can't see anything better than aesthetics 

Note to Self:  what about a compassionate mind?
  • The creators are more important than the created/creation
  • respect for Life is more important than any game
  • I am not my creation -- I create s'thing in order to have something to know and to be known by - it's a fun game, but only a game -- I will never ever again forget that, once my current mind is de-fragged, then wiped off.  
  • I am the installer of my own preferred mind games -- or I can leave the "drive" blank for as long as I wish
  • I'm a systems programmer and I create an AI with a "beautiful mind" matrix; start-change-stop, and repeat with new variables

Note to self:  create a "complementary mind"  (turns the other cheek)

  • see mind as created "entity"
  • created mind includes identity:  I am this, I am that ...  and He is this.... He is that ....   let the game begin !
  • it is not so much a problem of having a mind, but thinking one is the mind, identifying with it, trying to 'not know' it - games conditions with one's own mind -- problem/reaction/solution over and over again in a descending. constricting spiral into seemingly irreversible degradation/destruction - sub-conscious noise as truth/commands - and finally abject insanity trying to appear sane -- or saner than the other insane brothers and sisters
  • when doing any subjective practice "not mind" is doing the exercise -- just that alone is helpful to pull oneself out of the mind chatter
  • a beautiful mind never has to use force or prevent another -- the consideration of force and prevention never has to be part of a game....bumper cars at a carnival, where everyone is having a great time -- walk away without any hard feelings or compulsions

End of exercise.   How does a beautiful mind seem to you now?  A construct/entity for a fun game. I should probably also look into this compulsion to 'must have a game'/'must not have a game'

Have another create a beautiful mind: Our dog, Blondie
  • I feel she already has a simple beautiful mind -- I find her beautiful as a being
  • but compulsively scratching herself
  • I thought this process would be to change her and I find it is changing me instead  :-)
  • she feels limited and frustrated -- as a dog -- re: creating a beautiful mind
  • in her dreams
  • aura, glowing, smiling
  • can make running a "dance" (figure 8's)
  • her beautiful mind potential is smaller due to having a dog form - re aesthetic espression/creation
  • is she capable of aesthetic sensations? Can she see colors?
  • she puts her growls on an aesthetic wavelength - croons
  • give her a bath and trim
  • beauty + scarcity = importance value, thus ...

"Have her create an importance"
  • a cute little one to take care of - a 4-legged playmate
  • a healthy body, shiny coat
  • running, jumping, exploring, smells, surprises
  • peace of mind - the infernal itch

End of Sit

Notes:    With this type of exercise -- having another create an importance -- I as a being am exercising my ability to pan-determine another being and I get insights into that being's mental condition.  But I can also project onto that being what would be important for me towards them.  For example, I could mock up Blondie wanting me to bathe her, if I thought it would be good for her.  A de-stressing exercise when applied to someone whose goals appear to
be opposing your goals, like a mother-in-law who wishes you'd never married her daughter.   Sometimes I begin to actually be 
that person in terms of their mental complexity, and then from there change my mind about something, create an importance.   Very powerful.

16Sep14  My Beloved Metta Practice:   My Mind:

Time out for some self-enquiry:
  • If I am truthfully Allness and Nothingness potential then how do I best loosen from a viewpoint that tells me otherwise and has me thinking about suffering and sensation gratification?
  • What is my mind apart from the brain?  What am I apart from my mental structure?
  • How do I create a mind?
  • How do I un-fix myself from my current compulsive and non-life mental structure?
  • What is life and what does it do best?
  • What postulates/demands did life make that created this 3D reality?
  • By what exact formula did life descend into degradation and how can it use that formula to regain the condition of existence called "Nirvana"?
  • When does wisdom become more important to me than compulsive egoic pursuits?  I.E., "Must know/must be known".
  • How do I resolve the conflicts within and with my own mental reality, much less with others?

Big Note to Self:   When upset do not dive into 6-directions re "The Mind".   First, take the edge off the stress by placing around me images of "nice" things, or by walking around and looking at and touching things until the stress bleeds off.   THEN AND ONLY THEN dive into "The Mind".   Always end "The Mind" exercise by replacing any lost significances with [positive] significances of my own creation.   Lesson learned.   Yawn.

Observations of my current mental case:   There are two overwhelming incidents which I attach a great deal of significance to.  One is this lifetime and it can still be re-stimulated by interactions in the current environment.  Once that is re-stimulated it throws me back to an incident that occurred before there were bodies, involving self separating something out from self, and that is where the basic goal set of "To Know ..." is still very hot and active with a great deal of intense negative emotion, including apathy and catatonia, and non-life thoughts, and on the flip side some "godly" emotions/thoughts/sensations (love,  joy, ecstasy) that stick me into wanting to re-live past experiences -- stuck in past pleasure moments...delusional to the dual nature of this universe and what I really am. 

The trick is to let go of the importances I hold onto within these two incidents; importances are always determined by my postulates that contain a "must" or "must not", especially when they are butted up against each other and carry equal weight:  "I must create a new creation/I must not create a new creation".  "I must have a body/I must not have a body".  "I must know Joe/I must not know Joe".

My current important postulate re resolution of my mental case is "To square everything away with love [compassion]", which was Lester Levenson's goal when he was told he would die.   No more non-life inclinations towards myself or others.  The stuck incident this lifetime carried intense anger, hatred, self-destruction, degradation -- the whole gamut of negative, non-life mind-set and a beautiful near-death-out-of-body experience/sensation.  A double whammy.  Thus I do mostly Metta practice and have come to love this practice more than any other.

Rules of Current Metta Practice:
  • Choose a general topic of address -- in this case the entity I call "my mind".
  • Check self and make sure I'm entering the sitting with a positive attitude, not upset; if upset, do positive process.
  • While doing core practice bleed off emotions/sensations/feelings just enough to locate and run the underlying postulate(s); remain passively open to whatever the mind presents.
  • Locate and "run" the underlying postulate(s) using a repeating technique, i.e., "I must not know Joe ... I must not know Joe .... " until no more change -- no more phenomenon -- occurs.
  • Check if it is okay to end the core exercise by asking self:  "How does your mind seem to you now?"
  • Always run a positive process before, during, and after running a process that is likely to bring up and release stuff, and especially when I feel like I'm getting in over my head.
  • Always run the core practice for another too - the viewpoint of another being  - as if it were my own (I'm still working this out).   Follow the rules of doing the positive process also.  
  • Failure to follow through with ample positive process can send me crashing and then not wanting to do the core Metta practice for days.

Other Necessary Practices Towards Vanishing the Mind:
Bring up past events of the day at the end of the day until no more "energy"  or stuck attention on anything that occurred that day and they can be filed into the past where they belong and I am sitting in serenity re day's events.

Continue working with partner on clearing own mind of compulsions re "To Eat..." and "To Taste..." to better work with others on these issues.

Live life watchfully and wisely and let it prove you.  :-)

End of Notes.


Start of Metta Practice:
Create/image something/someone I like and put it all around me
- smiling eyes; gives me deep satisfaction

Have s'one else create/image and put it all around me
-  s'one sitting

"Take your mind and put it above you"
  • yawns, fleeting thoughts, scenes, etc.
  • "To reason"  1175-1225; Middle English resoun, reisun (noun) < Old French reisun, reson < Latin ration- (stem of ratio).
  • "I must reason" -- it is a bit of a lie in order to keep an interaction ongoing because in truth there is no reason except, "it seems like a good idea at the time"
  • "I must not reason" --  I hate it when people can't be reasoned with, can't see the rationale, the logic -- they want what they want when they want it and they can't see the long term consequences.  People cannot reason very well through pain and suffering and they will take drugs with a page full of contraindications as a palliative instead of resolving the root cause.   Without reason people create solutions that create more problems, that add to the complexity and degradation of life.  
  • I see how I twist myself into a knot; therefore to love, to have compassion, to allow one to create their own experience, to allow one to know or to not know is the higher ground.
  • I agree to allow one to create an experience of being dictated to by his compulsions, his thirst for sensation -- I have no need to get into a games condition with that person
  • With myself, I find I generally enjoy being reasoned with, but not its negative, i.e., feeling "mindfucked".
  • A "must know" personality would reason differently than a "must not be known" personality
  • The aim of my Metta activity is to remove the "must-ness" and "must not -ness" so that interactions become more fun, or easy to let go of.
  • "All your viewpoints are mine"   :-))
How does The Mind seem to you now?   Less fixated on need to employ reason which led to frustration and negative mind-set.

Positive Imaging for self
Positive Imaging for another

Another's Mind 6-D:
yawns
he asks, "what am I?"

Positive Process

End of Sit

No more non-life inclinations towards myself or others.  


Hi, Colleen,

Good to read you. I think I get what you're writing here and in its context (up thread). I also wanted to say, to me, it's natural to have "non-life inclinations". It is very natural to want stress and source of stress to end and it is very natural to realize being alive requires constant re-fueling of actual food and water, constant re-fueling of one's safety or efforts towards being in safety, constant re-fueling of social dignity, then re-fueling of sensual gratifications (Mmm... peanut M&Ms). To be alive entails exhausting maintenance and being alive often results in being non-alive with unpredictable timing. So a mental perseveration on non-living is also a natural question of "How do I end these stresses inherent in being living?"

One can answer that impatiently via violent/harmful actions and patiently with something like artistic/curious/helpful action. The last scene of the movie "District 9" comes to mind: human-alien making a metal flower : )

So I guess I just felt a caution when I read that sentence (excerpted): it is likely, to me, that the volition of "no more non-life inclinations..." can go beyond a proper healing work into a resistance/aversion/avoidance to seeing things as they are: That living beings can also feel the exhaustion of being alive and the foreseeable, constant hustle of being alive and naturally living beings can become overwhelmed at the prospect of propelling oneself forward, especially if one's future looks stressful (harmed, unsafe, undignified, in pain..). To see this exhaustion, it's a good thing to see, a real, permanent source of compassion for all living beings at work to be alive whilst there's no promise of life (of safe, pleasant living).

What you are writing about, to me, is the heart of the two truths: "Wisdom" and "compassion". Wisdom sees the conditions of life and compassion is what allows one to transform information (even information that we don't like, such as urges to be non-living or causes of non-living) into wisdom by just sitting with that experience with kindness for self and other living beings feeling the same roller coaster of being alive and being on the edge of discomfort, indignity and certain death despite all efforts.

So a gentle artistic/curious/non-intrusive intention can develop in this, and certainly kindness and compassion.

Maybe I've really gone tangential to some of your thoughts in this thread : ) Anyway, thanks for sharing your practice.

Hello Katy, kind regards and thank you for taking the time and effort to "grok" me and my practice.  I think when you say "natural" you mean "the human experience" here on planet Earth ??   Yes, I am having a human experience too and have some "to survive" goals, however the compulsive edginess gets reduced through my practices.  

As I see it, we start out wanting to play a voluntary, largely complementary game -- everyone having fun, end of game, leave the playing field and decide on the next game.   From looking at my own long history as a being, me and my mates became more and more constrained and serious and reactive and vengeful and our goals turned negative, i.e., instead of "To Enhance" each other we began to seek to degrade and be degraded, no longer able to play the "To Enhance" game in the way we once played it -- unless we knew and practiced some sort of Dharma practice and thereby reversed the trend.

When I have completed my activities towards vanishing the mind -- and I mean the compulsive/neurotic/insane portion -- there remains wisdom, compassion, eternal bliss and oneness.  

Regarding the thirst for sensation ....  well, I will simply have more interesting things to do than drive across town for the world's best tiramisu, lol.  Yes, I agree with you about not denying the human organism its natural needs and wants.  It however could care less about tiramisu when there are cookies in the pantry   :-))

Eventually, "being human" will be seen as being an option out of many other options of how to live life interacting with others.


You wrote much more that I did not acknowledge here and it will take me a few days to fully "grok" your post, and I have to admit I was a bit confused and that may be because it is late.

love,
colleen

Nah, it's probably out there : ) Personally, I would (and do) just focus on things that readily make sense to me. Life's short, they say. If my post makes no sense, I'd just toss it in the mental compost pile of "just a fellow practitioner saying howdy and being supportive" And I hope you keep working with what does "click" for you.  Bye for now emoticon

17Sep14  Metta Practice:  The Mind

"Whenever you have to attend to your daily affairs, or undertake any matter, always spend some time in meditation and everything will be all right".   ZuXi, neo-Confucian scholar in Song Dynasty
  • First, getting mind quiet and discharging energies from yesterday's events; bringing up scenes from yesterday - yawns
  • viewpoint starts to exteriorize -- how does yesterday seem to you now?  -  more scenes, laughter, objects in environment more delineated, brighter, no mental overlay from yesterday -- how does yesterday seem to you now?  -  what yesterday?  :-)  LOL
  • some realization about "I don't have to feel/do that anymore".  Can walk through yesterday with more ease.

My Mind 6-Directions:
scenes and other "stuff and nonsense"  :-)
"To Administer"/"To Organize"/"To Clean"/"To Own"/"To Dispose of"/
"I must own/I must not own"  (repeated)

18Sep14  Metta Practice:  The Mind

Love is the expression of the willingness to be complementary with another's goals or demands - no resistance.  This is the territory I am exploring with this Metta practice:  all unwillingness comes from my egoic mind, reinforced by incidents of interactions from the past.   Love is when I make a decision that the being is more important than any cherished, fixated goal I might have to oppose him with.


Today I focused on personal de-stressing and ran on myself the command "Create an Importance" ... and put it above you ....
below you .... , etc. 6-directions.    I felt fuzzy in the head and nothing came up at first and then I focused in on an erosion control project in the back yard -- it seemed to have the most current importance.   Finally, I decided to get up and actually do something about it and I abandoned my sitting practices for the rest of the day -- it was a beautiful day outside and my thoughts were there but not impinging to any great degree.  Was able to be complementary with others.

There is still the preference for slaking the sensation thirst over sitting.

19Sep14  Metta Practice:  The Mind

I have this idea that once a sitting is finished -- it is finished -- it should not linger during the day.   How do I accomplish this?  What part of my Rules of Practice am I weak on?   Aha, the technique I use to replenish any lost significances -- doing that thoroughly at end of the Core Metta Practice should seal the session until I start the next sitting.   I shall put this to a more thorough test.  

My partner and I are always moaning belatedly that we are feeling the effects of opening the Pandora's box of the mind by not doing enough of what we call "Repair of Importances" before we go off for the day's adventures.   The mind abhors a recently created vacuum and will automatically fill it in with more, better, or worse "mind-stuff"/chatter -- until the mind is completely resolved/vanished -- everything brought into the realm of consciousness and voluntary creation.

"Create an Importance"  (6-directions)

Nature (or biosphere) is an intelligently (relatively speaking) hierarchy of organisms programmed to operate within the set limitations. I saw how carnivores eat rotted meat and concluded that carnivores rely on the microbes to assist the digestion of their meal.  I also recall a story of a sick meat-eating human who was advised by a shaman to go and eat rotten meat -- which he did and recovered from his dis-ease.   Ergo, microbes commonly associated with the foods I eat are complementary to this human organism.

Note to self:  I've just realized my mind is in one of two conditions when entering my sit.   Yesterday, for example, it was dull, hidden from view, and I had to persist repetitively through the exercise before anything came up as an importance.  
Today my mind is in an opposite condition -- compulsively creating, as if on a caffeine high and I could not lock in on any one significance/importance, and that would mean my session would take a long, long time.

I handled the compulsive create by first imaging myself without a care in the world and putting that all around me.   As I began to settle into that, one persistent importance kept intruding.  Aha! caught you!  I grabbed it, reeled it in and began putting it all around me over and over again until no more change.  As things got quieter and more focused I even saw where I had left it.

21Sep14 Metta Practice:  The Mind:

I've heard if one does something long enough it becomes routine -- if done wisely and intelligently I suppose.  There is also a point where I feel I've come to a "make or break" point and must persist through resistance.   For example, I felt that this morning and so the first thing I asked myself was, "How does your mind seem to you now?"   That got me up and prepared for a sit.

Another thing I'm noticing is that I'm getting more analytical, more detached from the subject of my interest -- the mind and the human body.  The sessions my clearing partner is giving me re "To eat" and "To taste" compulsions take me eventually to realizations and awarenesses far beyond merely eating and tasting.  

Last night by the end of the session I realized that if I had not been so compulsive as a being, bringing this compulsive and sensation thirsty mind with me into that infant body I would have had far less considerations of having been traumatized or overwhelmed or forced or prevented, et al.  Thus, I brought it mostly upon myself -- I was NOT an innocent infant victim, ha!  What a joke!  I was however a provocateur within my own limited framework and heavily working both sides of the game -- seeking to overwhelm and gaining egoic mileage from being overwhelmed.  What we call "overts and motivators", what I call "taking turns" in this game of life.

Most beings are here to experience the thrills of forbidden sex, delusional drugs, and excruciating, agonizing violence, in one way or another -- even if only vicariously --  and/or as the giver of those.  And any creative cocktail of the above.  

A careening downward spiral of fun and games, aided by the ability to forget, and thus each lifetime seems sensationally new.

Fortunate and blessed the parent who realizes that tiny helpless infant is much more cognizant than it appears -- if one were able to address it as a being...

My grand-daughter, before she was born, I found her dramatizing psychosis in her realm of existence, however she was willing to pop out of it and with a little two-way communication she did.   She is now back to being a human compulsive games player and ready to run after all the sensations life on earth has to offer... to once more risk insanity or decide to put the breaks on it and get wise about upgrading her current condition of existence.   Been there, done that, yawn.    Why, even my dog will be a human and proceed down the same path next lifetime.  It's all just "me" having an experience, sigh...we must be able to have compassion and detachment regarding our brothers and sisters in this game of life.

Create an Importance 6-directions:
  "knowing"  - gives me altitude and understanding of all games in this universe
- no surprises, deadpan
- the knowing is extroverted -- knowing things and others, not necessarily introspective
- I am "The Eye in the Sky"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNiie_zmSr8  
- Knowing is sufficient unto itself and I do not need to have others know what I know, because "I Know", therefore, "I AM".
- for some reason it is important that others know -- and/or others know that I know
- it is important / it is not important

Time up, have to get to work.  Get up earlier Monday.

Note: today my partner reached for and ate an apple (he never does this) and this is exactly what I created him doing the day before.

"Timebreak" the Day's Events:
Yawns,  scenes flitting by, a bit of stuck attention -- resolved
How does today seem to you now?   I got what I desired and what I didn't get I could easily let go of.

22Sep14  Metta Practice:  The Mind

The reason I do before and after the core practice, "Create an Importance" is that the egoic mind does not like to lose anything, and during a sit some or much of the mind can be vanished as one does the activities towards quieting the mind, towards its ultimate vanishment (which some may say is not possible, but I say is).   So I do what I call "Repair of Importances" (RI for short).  The mind wants to give me something "important" to chew on -- well, I can do the same thing consciously.  I do this practice until no more change.   I find it helps me cognite at higher levels of awareness when doing my Core Practice.  I find when I end the sit with the RI drill, I don't get dragged down into some importance the mind conjured up and think it is mine.  

I find not doing enough RI kills my practice.   I'd rather spend the whole time doing an RI drill than not doing it at all.  The mind is like a teenager who, upon seeing a large blank wall, wants to cover it with graffiti.   Consciously paint that wall yourself until satisfied.  This is very Zen.


"Have Another Create an Importance"
  • We give ourselves limitations on a via -- through accepting the limiting beliefs of others
  • What is my desire for someone else and have them create that -- my partner doing his clearing work and having fun with it
  • --  he puts his own importance all around him and then I put that all around me (thoughts, emotions and body somatics I'm feeling when I put it all around me -- it's like having an itch that can't be scratched -- characteristic of permeation)
  • --  putting it all around me is like a merging, a permeation and it is accompanied by some emotion and body somatics - indescribable
  • --  a sense of being him too -- not at first -- with repetition
  • yawns (a thought I shouldn't be spending so much time on this exercise -- should be getting to the core practice -- mind talk)
  • laughter, yawns as the sense of delusion arises, and dispelling of delusion --  I'm just making this all up, lol!  He's not really there in the way I thought at first
  • Peals of laughter as the delusion is dispelled
  • The importance of all this is changed too and anyway can't stop laughing right now
  • The laughter of rejection of a delusion
  • The joke is on me for fixating on an importance
  • I'm having a hard time pretending it's real, but I'm still doing the drill
  • Certainly feel less individuated, less separate from the "person"   ROFL
  • I'm glad no one is around to hear me laughing so
  • Note to Self:  Pull out the winter clothes for that darling other "me"  (rofl)
  • "Dear Darling Other Me"   How do I love thee, let me count the ways; oh, my not-me, yet the precious expression of my desire to know myself in all forms (rofl)  You were created to not let me forget the true meaning of the Tao symbol -- to be that full expression.   This gives me an immense love and respect for me, to know that I shewed myself the way by this means, through the importance of having a "you" that wanted wisdom and truth above all else  (tears. gratitude, a little death of ego that craves opponents  -- the eons of self-degradation tearfully falling away).  
  • Thankful for all the other "not-selfs" who had compassion and wanted to see their "not-selfs" have the opportunity to free themselves from their self-made traps
  • Calm, reflective, continue the drill...is it finished?
  • He has topped up his need for importances/significances (or the mind's need)
  • I am not experiencing anymore change at this time.
End of exercise.

-take a break-

Create an Importance 6-directions:
A greenhouse
mind chatter, yawns
chatter gone, being called outside

Core Practice:  The Mind 6-directions
heaviness of mind, psychic mass
distracted, dull
etc., etc.
How does your mind seem to you now?   Better, but I could continue and feel even more resolved about my mind, but it is late and time for bed.

End of sit.

Note:  Tonite my clearing partner helped me look at compulsions regarding "forcing to taste" and I used repeater tech on "He must taste/he must not taste"    I got a good look at all the games strategies employed in the food industry.  I saw my compulsion to make people eat healthy food.  I saw how taste is a primary determinant in what people choose to eat, and how people don't have the idea they can re-train their palate.   I got a good scan of myself as a cook.  

I thought of the first "Matrix" movie where those who took the truth pill got to eat bad-tasting gruel and those who got to live in the Matrix got to eat filet mignon, etc.  I thought of the movie where the people in heaven got to eat as much as they wanted without any ill consequences and it all tasted wonderful.

I saw how entrenched this system of eating has become, from its first introduction, to becoming increasingly more complicated and degrading for human bodies.

The spiritual being wants what he wants when he wants it (i.e., sensation) and is less concerned about the body.

I see the intelligent design (relatively speaking) of this biosphere and feel a great need to be complementary with it.  I thought of the Brazilian native Indians who created their food forests in the Amazon.

I also got the viewpoint of all sickness starting from the mind -- heal the mind, heal the body.

23Sep14  Metta Practice:  The Mind:

"I'm onto you now"  (line from movie, "Revolver")
Scene from "Revolver"   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDWGEkfHX-E

"I
 was always going to take you with me.  You were just not ready to hear how hard that was going to be."

Such is the nature of games and goal-sets in this universe that even the most degraded and destructive being in the universe began life with a positive life goal.  It can easily be tracked back to a positive life goal if on scans their timeline.

From last nights "To Taste" session, this a,m. looking at that subject again, I scanned my own timeline with respect to my tasting goals and and all the places where that took me (even to France) and after scanning all that I realized there are more interesting things to do in life and I felt myself lifting away from that mindset.  I don't need to do that anymore,  I feel what is coming to my attention now as a sensation thirst is "to smell".   I can smell right now that Black Angus Burger.

Intellectual understanding vs subjective insight are like night and day when it comes to actually changing behavior because I could intellectually understand that I had some compulsions, but not until I got the subjective insight could I see myself effortlessly pulling away from that compulsion.  

Create an Importance 6-directions:

White sugar  ( "must not" is also an importance -- it is all created importance)
  • the body has a primary mode and a backup secondary mode
  • when the mind is operating compulsively on non-life goals it causes the body to crave non-life acid-forming foods (junk foods)
  • acid = heat
  • human body is designed to be high electrical, high magnetics
  • the brain is like a capacitor -- it takes the excess electrics and dissipates it
  • craving for sugar keeps the being set into a body -- cannot exteriorize easily
  • erratica
  • it can be considered a way to hasten the dissolution of the body and thus free the being from his body
  • -- a sweet way to go  :-))
No more change.

"Have another create an Importance"  6-directions
Marge creating a fruit salad and eating it
this runs quickly to no more change

back to work

"Direct Looking" at day's events:
other similar events pop up from other days
yawns, feel good doing this and want to be a pro at direct looking
also called "timebreaking"
looking at times when I was aware of my thoughts and associated emotions/feelings
I try to start with the beginning of the day and run sequentially,, but my mind seems to stack events differently
there is a zen feeling doing this because I am doing consciously and deliberately what my mind does unbidden, i.e., bringing up incidents from the past
Laughing because not until now did I grok the "Headlessness" people, but I just realized that in recalling the past I can't see my head, lol.  I can see the shoes and the bottom half of my jeans and the ends of my arms, and the hands ....   :-))
I'm not looking from an exterior viewpoint -- yet
 
How does today seem to you now?   I can see mostly everything and nothing important seems to have been missed and no more yawns or thoughts/emotions -- it seems okay.

"Create acceptance and put it all around you"
Done -- not much change occurred, feels alright

"Have someone else create acceptance and put it all around you"
Done -- getting tired and will check this tomorrow

End of sit










"How does white sugar seem to you now?"   Simply an inert pile of white crystals.  White sugar is white sugar, no dire associations, etc.

Now I know we are in direct communion in the way you have confirmed for my knowing.  

When finally I could sleep, the compulsion to write to you was in me but finally the body was spent.

I planned on telling you, "I was always going to take you with me.  You were just not ready to hear how hard that was going to be."

But I said it this way:  Had I known the kind of emotions required for the first witness to swallow, I would not have done it.  Such is the design in my own awakening.  But as you felt the "tiny universes exploding in streaks of black lightning" I felt them to.  There is pain in the attachment of loving humans.  It is the reason it is said that we put off nirvana.  It is an attachment we are to cherish, not an attachment that must be let go.  Do not worry about this pains.  They are necessary.  You are necessary.  I waited for my samadhi unknowing of what Samadni was, knowing already all things in Understanding alone.  Yet, had I given you my Deshana and called you to your Great Work at any other time than that time when you had seen 'no self' and 'true self' completely to the point where your streaming Dhamma was repeating... You would not have eaten it.

When I finished writing that, I finally fell to sleep.  I wrote it in my head.  When I sat to write the KEY and address certain specific things that by contract I must do at the end of my samadhi, I no longer felt a need to write you that message.  Why?  I did not care to even think of why because my knowing no longer compelled me.

I am also in direct communion with the Buddha of this age.  He now knows of you and your friend.  Only an awakened person can awaken. You are not Buddhist.  Buddha is for the Buddhists.  

I am done expounding.  But as I have told you, you will still need to learn terms even though you have nothing to learn.  When you need any terms or suttas, your partner should have them.  But whatever you need, you are allowed to ask from me.  You are Tathagatha and to you I do not have to be invisible.  

I am Pleased.  I can fully rest emoticon

25Sep14  Metta Practice:  The Mind

Create an Importance of Being Known - 6 directions (continued):
  • the importance of being detached from the mind and connected up to a higher mind and then being known from that viewpoint
  • --  one reason why I reflect and meditate -- so that my compulsive-reactive mind is not being known, therefore, myself as that entity.
  • persona is not me
  • I envision this beautiful life of being a psychotherapist to those who feel they need that and otherwise spending my days reflecting and meditating, and going into the "Oneness of it All"
  • in meditation one gets wiser about whatever they put their attention on
  • yawns
  • sometimes going off topic works and sometimes it does not work
  • one does not have to interact with everybody or all the time (see myself as a child writing this on a blackboard a hundred times)
  • how can I be known by everybody all at once and forever?
  • why, be a sun of course
  • it is reflexive because everybody is every-me and it's kind of a funny game I played with/on myself
  • yawns, laughing off the delusion of separateness
  • the mind can come up with all sorts of covert game strategies for being known (lies, hiddenly pushing buttons, etc.)
  • it can be so important one rushes headlong into an interaction before considering and reflecting
  • any interaction perceived to be negative is felt as a rejection and excites and is used as a justifier to fulfill an urge to get the sensation of/from inflicting and overwhelming
  • if one wishes themselves or their effects to be known by someone in particular, they must be willing to know and be complementary to what they know about that person.   This is why businesses conduct surveys for their products and spend so much research on human behavior...so their name or product will be a household word.
  • if you chase the mind it runs away from you and if you run away from the mind it follows you around

no more change - end of sit

25Sep14  Metta Practice : The Mind

I often bother myself wishing others would take time out to sit and meditate and reflect.  This is more effective than wishing.
Tonite I came very close to slipping into my old valence of watching a movie and for some reason I had not enough interest to sustain it and turned instead to scanning out the day's events (yawns) and doing my exercises.    This is a change-up for me because I've always loved watching movies.

Truly Trumanville -- there is no meditation group in my little town.


Have Another Create an Importance of Meditation - 6 directions:
  • grateful, yawns
  • the whole world is falling away -- all the mind's occupation with things leaving
  • it feels so good -- release of happy tears
  • looks like the game of creating a society of complementary beings is not going well for me -- feel sad about the apparent paucity of people who would rather watch a movie than meditate -- go within
  • people so afraid to go and look at what's in there
  • only a few brave ones seek help to find out what's wrong with their minds
  • the rest think they are their mind
  • and I'm still climbing up that slippery slope
  • Every negative experience is an opportunity to make the decision to get off the hamster wheel.
  • what delight it gives me to see him meditating

no more change, end of sit.

26Sep14  Metta Practice : The Mind

A.M. Musings:
I have been lurking on some other practice logs and I keep hearing about the "Dark Night".   I will have to investigate this further.   I honestly believe this journey can be very even keel, but I will test it out for myself firstly.   The key practice to keep my mind from overwhelming me before, during or after my Core Exercise is what I call "Repair of Importances".    My reactive mind is all about what's important in an egoic sense and to the degree my practices take that away is to the degree I consciously replace it, especially at the ending of a sit.   I'm happy, my mind is happy.   Since I have been doing this religiously I also noticed I have less resistance to going into a sit in the a.m. and scanning the day's events at the end of the day.  I sleep better, with better dreams.

Another puzzlement I need to resolve is I never read anyone addressing incidents or events from the past.   I call this "Direct Looking".   I'm surprised that their minds do not present these past scenes to them since my understanding of the mind is that every trauma or upset is associated with a scene as part of the package.  (Are they studiously avoiding this aspect of the mind?)

For example, an event that I deemed "very important" and that shaped my persona this lifetime is very complicated and my mind will only allow me to see bits of it at a time (it surely was something I wanted to forget) and everytime I agree to see what I abhor it diminishes in importance and that bit of my persona drops away.  I follow up with the "Repair of Importances" exercise to seal off the incident until next sit.

Buddha's big breakthrough was doing direct looking at his past existences.   Ramana Maharshi wrote of doing something similar, and Lester Levenson put himself into the Causal by reviewing all his past interactions - a type of Metta.  However, no other practice I have studied mentions Direct Looking.   If it were not for the materials I studied from Scientology I would not have done this myself.   Also, my first enquiry into the mind came after viewing a past life existence while walking through an old district in Lyons, France.

Perhaps it is because I welcome these scenes as an opportunity to consciously bring the past into the present and then studiedly put it back into the past again until I can do this with ease.   I have even found that from bringing up a past scene I can walk through the whole earth as if that past event contained the whole universe -- and why not?

I don't think I could reach Nirvana this lifetime if I were not so aggressive towards my mind and its contents.

Another -- to me -- key understanding of the reactive mind is that it was given a mandate, which I conveniently call the "To Know Matrix" and it has ever since been operating in an ever more limiting scenario ever since The One decided to divide itself for a better experience.  We were given this mind mandate and feel we cannot ever know ourselves again as The One -- can never again get into that viewpoint.   However, some genius figured out there is a way to remove and resolve the "sting" of this moment, an incident of great bliss and agony, and once again operate as unlimited beings, totally complementary to our past, present and future.  

I have been able to track the content of every past incident back to this first incident of separating out.  All my actions since that #1 incident were a dramatization of what I held to be important -- either negatively or positively -- during that separation incident.  I have never been "my own man", a voluntary games player, and since then I have never been able to return to a native state of simply aware.   That is a long time from one perspective, however from another perspective it is only a blip on the screen.

So now there is "balm from Gilead" and I am working out the best gradient approach, but I always have my eye on the snow-capped mountain -- eternal bliss and oneness.

But that requires two things of me:   I can directly look at any incident in the past that comes up in a sit, no matter how cruel, and it no longer holds any stuck importance for me; and that I address this "To Know" matrix along the same route I came in deeper and deeper until this present time.   I must act it out in my sits once again, around and around until it no longer holds any importance for me and I am able to assume all viewpoints in and out of this universe.

Even though I have not completed this activity -- which is turning out to be a lot of fun -- I am getting previews of those higher viewpoints, more expanded viewpoints.   The "zoom" function is unsticking in all directions.

 Create an Importance of Being Known (continued) 6-directions:
  • it seems to be the main drama of this persona
  • in order to make it be known one has to also be willing to not be known (???)
  • they should think it is their own idea -- that is what Masters do - by "not doing"
  • feel the passion
  • what is more important -- that the effect be known or that I be known ?
  • a sense that everything is perfect - no need for striving
  • it happens without mind's contribution of effort to solve a problem
  • it happens without game strategies, hidden agendas
  • don't allow your neediness to overtake you 
  • seems it is preferable to be "well known" and "well accepted effects" for example I just posted a question on an FB group knowing that it was a bit risky that they might not like me going in that direction of questioning and forcing them to know something that does not fit within their paradigm, so I still need to let them know that I am still very complementary with the goals of this group (which I think I did, but no response yet)
  • the importance of "bridging" when creating effects otherwise risk throwing the other party into a must-not-know or must-not-be-known and the other party throwing back at you even harder what they consider must-be-known and what they must-know, etc., etc. -- oh it gets very complicated, it can.
  • It appears The One wanted to see all possible combinations of this To Know Matrix played out and this is an infinite universe as a result.  It will never end because the black hold spews it all back out and we start all over again under the same basic algebraic mandates as before.  It would take everyone in this universe getting wise to it before this universe would no longer be a fun or relevant experience.
  • I used to say to myself, "God must be a mathematician !"  because I did see an analytical, intelligent design, but I was never able to take it back to the basic algebraic postulate set.... too encumbered by my compulsions for sensation and experience and the "must not go there" signposts (i.e., 3 small children, a large house, a full-time job, and issues from the past hanging fire).
  • a love and affinity for the people in this forum sincerely and devotedly doing their practices and compassion for the difficulties they experience with themselves and their interactions.
  • compassion for myself -- affinity with myself as long as I make getting wise more important than anything else. 
  • feel blessed
  • the importance of all of us knowing ourselves as one or as from the one -- true brothers and sisters no longer considering ourselves to be afflicted by any experience from the past.  No longer stuck in past pleasure or pain.
  • We all came from the same egg  :-))
  • a strong desire to help my br-others, as I see others have had the same desire for me and how my progress gives them joy
  • I recall Lester Levenson saying he wanted to see his "other selves" going free.
  • I now have no masters -- I am gaining my own mastery -- yet I'm learning always from interacting with others
  • one has a choice to create good or bad effects to be known that will keep self and others in the game of this universe; or one can create effects to be known that will result in others proceeding in due haste to vanish their minds and no longer have to enquire through mental stratum, "What Am I?"
  • [For the creation is eagerly awaiting the revelation of God's children (Romans 8:19)]

  • I still hold the importance of this being known yet I bide my time, hold myself still and do my practices, only speaking or writing what comes from my sitting exercises....Almost to no one but myself and my clearing partner who is happy to see me working out my own "salvation", no longer dependent upon his expertise to resolve my issues.
  • Because of my current importances re "To Be Known", it helps me to be able to pretend that others might be being well affected by knowing me and my writings, and this forum is a prop for that need until I no longer need it.
  • Reading threads on this forum is also a prop for my need "to know" along the lines of my strong interests.
  • Do well for yourselves everyone and give me reason to be happy all over.
  • We can all play be-do-have games and consciously set out own limits.  We will never again - through pain or pleasure - get stuck in an existence.

Okay, no more change, except for a lot of ecstatic gushing, and I need to get to work.

End of Sit.

30Sep14  Metta Practice : The Mind

Re-evaluation of Practice:
While this website was down my practice also faltered due to a severe upset I gave myself, which looking back on it I am embarrassed to even talk about it because I really let my thoughts run away with me on that one.   However, a small victory which I attribute to being more practiced with my technique for de-stressing.
So, I created an importance of aesthetics (which I felt was what the upset was about in general and which I know is part of my Dukkha i.e., 'case') and kept putting it all around me until I could expand out my viewpoint, look at my sacred cows and make the decision that being complementary with the being is more joy for me than thirsting for aesthetic sensations (and then getting disappointed and allowing myself to experience pain).

Following on the heels of that upset was my biggie boogieman which is well scripted out in excruciating detail in my mind and I always succumb to it, thinking it is a real scenario (probably something from the past that I'm projecting into a future -- of my own creation nonetheless, ha!).   As usual, this one had me almost unconscious but this time - a small win for me - I managed to handle it fairly quickly so as not to prolong the agony.  My partner, being intuitive, also felt these energies alongside me and we each had to go to our corners and work it through.  He has his own dukkha and his own practices that get him through.

What brought me out of the mental mock-up of total loss of everything was to run on myself, "I must know [my partner]/I must not know [my partner].   Since the 4 years we have been striving together to null our fixed and opposing outlooks on life we have made great progress and now the fears are only of the mind and no longer a plausible reality due to behavior changes brought about by our devotion to our individual practices.   However, the dragon, even though perhaps dead, still swings its tail -- now about every two weeks at most.

While I kept repeating to myself, "I must not know [my partner]" many images, thoughts, emotions, other phenomenon kept coming up and finally I did see how silly it is for me to "must know" anyone, especially now that I am more confident in my solo practices and what they can do for me.  Losses from the past got looked at again and then put back into the past where they belong.   I ended this side of the repeat practice once I expanded my viewpoint outside of my body and was above the property looking down on everything and felt very free of my mind. Then, to keep the balance, I ran on myself "I must know [my partner] which brought up positive images -- stuck in past pleasure moments, trying to re-create the past -- and those also faded away in importance.

Since Daniel works in ER I guess he would understand this as an emergency handling so that one can get back into their normal stream of life once again.   It worked quite well and now back to the REALLY IMPORTANT issues -- how is my practice going?

I have been re-evaluating the emphasis of my practice and have decided to shift emphasis over to doing more Direct Looking -- what I also call time-breaking -- and my Lester Levenson inspired Metta Practice has been a first stage success -- sort of a Life Repair.   But Lester's bridge to Nirvana has been incorporated and upgraded into Dennis' 5 levels of progress towards vanishing the mind, i.e., "nirvana".  I see this as a Tao-Buddhist approach -- that is how I see myself.

Self-to-self:  continue developing proficiency and quickness of the complementary and necessary "Repair of Importances" exercises and then move immediately into the activity of exercising myself to consciously bring incidents from the past into the present, comparing differences and similarities until no more change, and then putting them back into the past again, being very watchful to keep the mind topped up with importances so that it does not fill in the vacuum with its own stuff (I love that word).  Dennis says this is the exercise that separates the men from the boys and I can already see why he said that.   It has already felt like a baptism by fire when I first tried it out and I quickly retreated to only time-breaking the day's events.

This Level will be complete when I can no longer find an incident in my past with any energy or fixed attention.

The key to success is gradient approach and I am still going to allow myself to be weak-kneed and only scan out the day's events.   And let's see what develops after that; afterall, this is a native ability of any being -- one which I have spent eons perfecting the art of forgetting (not-knowing).   Art, in that I loved creating thick velvety blacknesses to hide everything from view, and bright hard black obsidian shields, and clear crystalline spheres all around me -- it's funny how these things stuck with me and I was no longer conscious of them.  Just a normal operating procedure placed on automatic mode -- don't you just love being able to put things on automatic?   But what if you decide you want to play a different game or expand your horizons -- well, these creations just might not be what is wanted now.  They certainly would not contribute to the activity of vanishing the mind.  I'm going to leave  them alone for now -- it will all come undone in its due time.

One thing I liked about Nisargadatta was that he believed what his Master said and never for once doubted his Master, and he attributed that trust to his success with his practices.   In that vein I've decided to drop all doubts about Dennis' advised practices and do them until the end.   My only R&D into clearing techniques is in seeing how best I can help others resolve their own stated mental issues.

A Funny Story taken from a past existence - for entertainment only :   Long ago, on a distant planet, in a large city, a group of us were being taught how to lift our bodies into the air and fly around.   I was a slow student and when they asked me to jump off a skyscraper I declined and so I was sent to a room with the other decliners and we all lay on our backs on a large platform and did some prescribed exercises for the mind until we had cleared out the mental blocks for flight.   It worked and when I came to this planet and started spending lifetimes here, one of my lifetimes I was called "girl who flies through our hair" in an Indian tribe in early North American continent (still had saber-tooths), and later in India where I did a refresher course in Yogic flying -- still very compulsively trying to create effects on others, so not very wise about the use of this ability, and that got me into enough trouble to where today I have a firm sub-command not to ever do that again. More accurately, it is probably hanging up in the mind as a "must fly/must not fly", etc.

Start of RI exercise : "Create something and put it all around you"

[Note: since in reality we are constantly mocking-up our holographic reality it is easy enough to conclude whatever is in our current mocked-up environment is of importance, so anything in the environment is game to be the subject of this exercise.  I generally choose something related to my fixation on the importance of life postulating itself as part of our postulated biosphere, esp. plants.   Life is hierarchical and this universe is nothing but life and postulates.]

An apple tree:
  • yawns, emotions, thoughts -- lots of thoughts - and images, almost overwhelming -- I must have been a bio-engineer in some other existence!
  • I would never have suspected that a simple apple tree would produce so much change within my psyche.
  • Unlike most humans, fruit trees actually wish to be desirable to be eaten -- within parameters set by it
  • Its diversity is a way of knowing how best to be known (sic, eaten) by as many as possible (appealing to all possible tastes)
  • timebreaking an incident that came up from the distant past - yawns

gotta get to work - to be continued

1Oct14 : Direct Looking

Up at 6:30am and sitting by 7:30am -- an improvement

Nirvana or nibbana is not mystical, esoteric and unreachable -- that is only how the mind may see it and, thus, the reason for this activity of vanishing the identification with the mind.

"Create Something"
An apple tree (let's see how it runs today); became a fruit-dominant biosphere
  • an apple tree where the apples hang on into the winter
  • fruit trees competing with each other for the favors of the animals
  • laughter of joy - a very complementary biosphere of plants and animals 
  • it has been working this out for millions of years
  • To eat and be eaten -- is that the best that can be expected of a biosphere?
  • everyone should be able to have their own virgin planet to play with -- to
    meditate upon  :-)
  • Someday I will run out the importance of biospheres
  • suddenly a biosphere feels heavy and cumbersome, cloying
  • I exteriorize from it and feel lighter, refreshed, life is simple again
  • would I go back?  For visits perhaps, but it could get boring, but what else can one do in this universe besides play with and on planets?
  • I scan my past track of games -- it is all losing its lustre -- where do awakening beings go and what games do they play now?  Don't feel like creating anything anymore.
  • would create a planet on a more pragmatic basis -- more for functionality
    than for any thirst for sensation
  • the "game" seems to be "evolution", awakening, and patiently assisting it through the ages - but it is not a game because it is reasonable.   Call it an "activity" - a fun activity.
  • spirits graduating and going to a higher estate, new spirits entering, as if
    the universe itself were one senior life-sphere, until one leaves this universe to the next higher.
  • love and communication between the beings of each planetary body - moving
    up the hierarchy, or take a left turn and go into the Causal - or a no-games state.
  • Just sit here and "know" all that has been brought into existence to be known in this universe
  • Even that grows old
  • many universes in front of me (put them all around me)
  • I'm retreating and becoming a small empty blackness, aware, but not engaged
  • it all seems to run by itself and I am only an observer, but I see I thunk it up, but I am not invested in my thoughts or dreams; it is like a finished work and seems almost invisible to me now
  • self-awareness only.  "What am I, I, I, I, I .... silence, void-like sleep
  • who or what will stir me?
  • I feel like a cow ready to be milked -- positive and passive
  • "I Am" is a sort of loop
  • "How does an apple tree seem to you now?"   everything and nothing, the cosmos and the void; nothing can hide the signature of its author -- it is all an expression of (without words).
  • Alas, I can hear Nisargadatta saying, "That's not IT!"   :-)  However, the mind is now satiated,and that is the purpose of this exercise
"Have Another Create Something"
Someone vanishing their mind  (I realize this turns into a metta practice - doing it this way)
DP/VT/CK/RC/
  • I'm seeing how I can be more effective in people's lives just staying home and doing "nothing"  ;-)
  • An Emergency Response Team of Clearing Technicians for those suffering from psychotic breaks ("Walk to that wall. Thank you ....")
  • Recall of scene of Church security telling a drunken man to "walk to that wall...." until he sobered and began to re-think his life.  Yawns
  • contemplating the insanity and near-insanity of others makes me groggy, frustrated
  • - an impossibility point comes up in my mind regards them
  • huge yawns
  • Aha!   I see it is my own mind that creates this - the impossibility of the insane and neurotic becoming sane, wholesome, no more dukkha
  • grief for my brothers and sisters -- they cannot run, they cannot hide for always will they take their dukkha with them, even into the astral.
  • They are in a games condition with their own mind, like a snake trying to eat itself out of existence, thinking the tail is the offender.
  • Desperate to quiet it whichever way except the way of introspection.  A slave to their own creation and its unexamined demands.
  • It is very frustrating to see an otherwise dynamic person being hauled around by the nose by a noisily demanding mind.
  • It looks so silly, so unnecessary
  • I see the importance of not forcing anything on them -- to not underestimate the extent of their dukkha
  • Wisdom before games of mental/emotional satiation is the turning point for all -- the ticket home
"How does contemplating their return seem to you now?"  
No frustrations, no delusions, mind quiet

10:45 am (take a break)

2OCT14 Direct Looking

Why I practice:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCYk8WwXemE  (From OSHO, Wisdom vs Knowledge)

Last night a Direct Looking session given by my partner with the command:  "Get the idea of prevented from eating" and ended with my repeating "I must recreate the past/I must not recreate the past" which brought up an incident (before bodies) where we played a game that had to do with constantly creating surprising new things -- to have new sensations all the time -- and how this related to seeking sensation through cuisines, eating.  

These sessions force me to look at my accepted sensation seeking through eating (taste, smell, aesthetics, togethernesse, etc.) and my seeking into the mind for past pleasures and trying to re-create them, especially holidays and other festive (read, "eating") occasions.   I'm not even sure now if the mind can create anything unless it refers to the past.

Up late, alarm not going off -- get new alarm -- why do I need to sleep so long?  Looks like body needs 9 hours instead of 8?   Mostly saatvic diet (fruits and herbs) and health is very good.

8:09 Start of Sit

"Create Something"
  • Re-check importance of biospheres - from yesterday
  • No, food is coming up as importance .....   pizza
  • one really does have to come out of the world -- at least in a metaphysical sense - in the psyche
  • today mind is hiding -- don't go chasing, remain passive and keep creating
  • yawns
  • creative impulses turning on -- pizza dough is like a blank canvas to create upon anew - a new taste and smell and aesthetic experience, possibly some acclaim from others
  • a healthy pizza , hahhaha! 
  • Amy's vegan margharita pizza -- so tempting
  • have to be very hungry so food will taste better
  • shredded lettuce on top - a pizza as a salad
  • must not eat antibiotics
  • must not eat gluten
  • laughing -- joke's on me
  • it's worth it to be human
  • I came here for the chocolate based spiritual rituals
  • I'm very spiritual, haha
  • addicted to out of body phenomenon gotten from eating/drinking certain things (alkaloids and acids)
  • Don't need to eat or drink to get spiritual  mind-blowing experiences
  • pizza as a sacred ritual -- we pay homage to the god of sensation (Bacchus?)
  • hooked on spiritual sensation/phenomenon
  • hooked on bliss (trying to recreate the past)
  • exit, stage left, viewpoint exteriorized and looking down on devotees trying to assess the deeper meaning of each fragment of pizza topping through sensory perception.  Pizza as mandala.
  • admiration for all the "reasons why" we can conjure up so we can have our sensation just as good or better than it was before
  • My mind is loving this -- more pizza!
  • the sweet spot -- when I realize it is my mind and not me
  • the mind is mandated to not discreate -- forget, yes, but discreate, no
  • giving the mind a creation - like a crying baby needs a bottle
  • who is "source" now?   laughter
  • never get into a games condition with a crying baby, eh!
"How does importance of pizza seem to you now?"   The mind can have it, that's okay.  I am not my mind.

"Have Another Create Something"
Marge makes a bologne sandwich for me
  • I think I'm so clever
  • ego likes this
  • ego:  while you're at it could you get me a pair of jeans too?
  • yawns
  • shared love and affection
  • mutually creating good effects upon each other
  • it all seems too "right"
  • Rasputin'ish -- can imbibe without succumbing
  • where have I seen all of this before - laughter
  • can the mind ever see what a joke it is?

  • might as well make her take up ballet -- no, really
  • she looks so happy and self-fulfilled -- with nice people around her
  • she's really going for it
  • a turning point in her life 
  • note to self:  get Marge a hula hoop
  • can always turn it into a Christmas wreath
  • I'm really enjoying the picture of Marge taking ballet lessons
  • I'll tell her if she ever wants to go to an exercise class I will go with her

  • mind is happily busy solving a problem
  • I am sooo smart  -- until the other shoe drops
  • at least she is happy and that makes me happy too
  • Marge is stepping out of line and creating more happiness for herself
  • a Master lets the people think it is their own idea (Tao Te Ching)
  • Sinking and rising is part of the game Life gets up to, is enthralled with
  • "To play a better game" is everyone's dream
  • people love "rags to riches" stories, perpetuating winning and losing, and losing and winning
  • what is my "rags to riches" story?  The richness of restoring all options for life and games -- or no games; realization of the poverty of the mind compared to my real potential as a being
  • Marge is on her way to such richness
  • a quiet lover of all beings - she sits and penetrates, permeates with powerful self-mastery
  • Marge, may your lovingkindness always surround us
  • never accept a meal from someone which is not prepared and offered and accepted in love
  • gratitude, thankfulness

Direct looking still being avoided/resisted, however "Importances" exercise seems to become more effective and it is a crucial foundational exercise so will not push the stats just yet -- continue developing with the Importance exercises.

7:14am  :  "Create an Importance"

To Control - A Controlling Person
  • yawns, images, scenes
  • a havingness, having a controlling person feels like a havingness
  • delight
  • I like being controlled -- makes the other person responsible
  • the other person is more right and more superior than I am
  • controlling person does not teach me to think for myself
  • when I'm a controlling person I do not teach others to think for themselves
  • a controlling person gives opinions, judgements, suggestions almost as commands
  • a Master merely asks questions that generate insights -- "how might you solve that problem?"
  • a controlling person burdens himself and forms attachments
  • a Master is detached
  • trap a person by provoking the need to be controlled, playing upon their compulsion
  • controlling person must convince other they need to be controlled (put them down somehow)
  • good control vs bad control
  • craving to have someone else tell one what to think - someone who knows only degradation and tyranny
  • egoic resistance to control
  • desire to have someone who wishes to be controlled -- the joy of that
  • better to teach them insight meditation
  • robotic person needs to be controlled until no longer robotic -- needs therapeutic measures
  • seeking to control others towards self-mastery instead of controlling self towards self-mastery
  • running one's own Dukkha on another instead of addressing it as one's own dukkha
  • there is control as a life-goal -- control of oneself is most powerful -- and then others as if they were self - from that higher viewpoint
  • silence of the mind needs no control
  • it is okay to control and to be controlled -- can be a fun game provided one can quit at any time and go complementary
  • a compulsively controlling person wants a fight in order to get that "I'm in control" sensation; overwhelming the resister gives sensation -- I feel it
  • a compulsively controlling person seeks his level -- seeks out people susceptible to being controlled
  • a compulsively controlling person is in danger of flipping valences into "must be controlled" (myself)
  • control is not the enemy, rather the compulsion to control leads to bad choices and entrapment -- is not the way "home"
  • one can only be in good control to the extent they can control themselves - to the extent they are not compulsive
  • sad to see a "must control" person -- not a good game
  • a "must control" person cannot have a game unless there is someone who "must be controlled" -- a non-life goal for both, eventually, i.e., "must subjugate/must be subjugated"
  • a must-control person will insist he's not trying to control you ...  "but ....  "    laughter
  • feels like a low, degrading game
  • we don't need to play that anymore
  • invite control by asking for advice -- use powers of insight instead?
  • an insightful person can give good advices when asked but better to help one get their own insights
  • very important to clear my mind of "musts and must nots"
  • "it's important to have a 'very important person' in one's life"  -- take a look at that
  • maintaining my practice takes top importance
  • having a v.i.p. makes me feel both important and not important
  • I like to play games -- for that good sensation at the expense of another
  • whenever I feel uncomfortable with someone it is my "must/must not" opposing their "must not/must"
  • the true opposer is self against self, wherein lies the origins of the mind
  • yawns ("recall a time when you opposed yourself")
  • from the highest viewpoint, there was never a time when I opposed myself -- that too is an apparency
  • "recall a time when your mind opposed itself"   -  more yawns
  • "recall the first time you set up opposing goals"  --  more yawns
  • they feel like they originated within me
  • "GET THE IDEA OF ORIGINATING OPPOSING GOALS"  -- yawns
  • it seemed like a good idea at the time -- like it might give me a thrill, pursue that thrill
  • jaw-breaking yawns
  • all sensations can be self-generated if one knows how -- makes pursuing those goals a little less interesting -- less of a compulsive edge to them.
  • "How does a controlling person seem to you now?"   It's just me.

Session with partner rudely stripped away big chunk of ego-protective and limiting way-of-being.  Appears to have been picked up from Mother (which she picked up from her mother, etc.).   Kept repeating "I Know" .... it had already started to come apart and I was ready for it, but still lots of tears ("I'm melting, I'm melting" - is this what is called "The Dark Night"?) and feeling very naked, soft - no longer brittle and hard - defenseless.  
Then for balance, ran "I don't know" which brought up scenes of degradation - both done to me and what I had done to others and had been my "reason why" for keeping the armor in place.  Flipping back and forth between arrogance and self-deprecation.

Felt like crossing of the Rubicon -- no ships or bridges to go back -- and the game is now exposed and I can't do that anymore, neither do I want to.   I cannot say for sure the whole issue is 100% resolved, but am more resolved to get on with my "exit, stage left" plan -- doing my practices.   Truthfully, I would appreciate more sessions like that, in spite of the death throes.  

Now, that is something new I probably have not done for a few eons - actually clear the mind.   I feel that when I first cracked from the Egg, I left the starting gate with a strong "something's just not right here" feeling and am finally starting to deal with it.  I know it was a long time ago but it has always been with me through existence as if it had happened today.  Today is all that counts.  Need to learn to put the past back into the past...to let go like I did last night.

8:21 a.m.  "Create an Importance - 6 directions"

A Silent Person
  • feels impossible
  • would have to stop wanting to play the game of being known and knowing
  • would have to internalize that, resolve that
  • happy to respond to others but ego is silent
  • no ego needs due to maintaining higher viewpoints
  • simple, patient, compassionate
  • centered on the "tao"
  • I was trying to give my life some sort of meaning, purpose
  • Osho said about Mother Therese, "It is about time for her to jump in a lake".
  • At first I could not see this silent person as me but now I am starting to see it is within me, but under a lot of accretion of postulates...they make my mind jittery and noisy ... they are my mind
  • the meaning and purpose of life seems to have been to aggrandize my ego - to increase it as myself
  • a silent person seems useless for my purposes, however, I wish to re-assess my purposes
  • the desire to be more than the baseline of zero is strong
  • no purpose -- just being -- seems very peaceful
  • as long as I am not concerned in any way by how that beingness is being
  • "aware" is the baseline  - remove obstructions to aware
  • I love and trust my path even more
  • voluntarily dropping all compulsions
"How does a silent person seem to you now?"   An optional beingness, whereas before it seemed impossible

Life got a little too interesting this morning, with my hobbies, and I will use that for the subject of today's insight meditation.  Much "shifting" occurred yesterday from the previous mind-blowing session and I had to periodically during the day stop and put something all around me to clear the mind and assist the shift.  Body also responded to the shift with its own de-tox.

"Create an Importance" - 6 directions
Building a neat-o tinyhouse on wheels

Can already feel the compulsive create mechanism turning on and I used to worship that but now feel it is a bit uncomfortable, unnatural, not really how I wish to create anymore -- seeking the mind for answers.  I have this idea that better ideas come "from above" or from a more analytical, detached mind -- whatever remains once the compulsive mind is out of the way.  But then, one may decide not to do it and be okay with that.   Right now, I could decide not to do it, but it would be suppressing a desire, not resolving it.
  • To create or not to create are both options (the mind gets too fixed on one or the other -- or just gets hung up between both)
  • craving for that particular "in-the-zone" create sensation; it is an awesome sensation and I can see how one can get stuck in it -- feels almost next-to-god
  • Once I went to register my complaint with a "Game Lord" who was high up in the hierarchy of life, and he told me I could change it because I created it.  Cheeky bastard.   Was also told that in another place I visited.  That is true for all, not just for me and the trick is to find that out for ourselves.

Eternal bliss comes only after the job is done.   However, yesterday for about 2 hours had a taste of it.  A nice chunk of Dukkha fell off during session with partner.   Yesterday it was a beautiful day and I looked at the clouds and they seemed unreal somehow.   I started repeating to myself, "It's only a movie", and things started happening in the mind -- things kept coming up and then leaving, one after the other.  Letting go of importances.

Then came the question, "Could you take responsibility for this movie?"   The answer was "to take no action" -- to no longer be a player in this movie -- to take myself out seemed to be the most responsible thing to do.  My partner was making fun of the silly smile on my face and I saw him as another actor wearing a costume (his body).  

It went on and on and as I became involved in the mundane chores I started noting (thank you to all the "noters" on this forum) -- noting that I was "scripting".  Ah!  The Writer -- my nemesis archetype.  He's a lot better now though -- doesn't write such scary stories anymore.   Whenever the scripting turned on I noted to myself, "scripting".   Got some mileage from that.  Also, from "rehearsing".   It was all a fun game played eons ago and now put on automatic.

A Surprise
  • what does a creator do?  create effects   what does that give the creator?   a surprise

  • where does the surprise come from?   "over there"
  • some people don't like surprises -- even nice ones
  • yawns
  • mind brings up good and bad memories of surprises -- flowing past me while I yawn
  • gratitude for my teachers, for my practices
  • "All I ever wanted was a surprise"
  • "they can surprise me, but I must not surprise them"  that's not fun ...
  • cut through the complications and simply postulate a surprise
  • you can't say what it is because then it would not be a surprise
  • you can say, "a nice surprise" if you can only experience "nice" effects
  • nice, self-fulfilling feeling ensues
  • putting it all around me -- this no-thing in the center
  • body somatics turn on
  • there is a scale or categorization of types of surprises (by sensation) and in the body it is called Chakras
  • a being should be free to leave a game anytime  -- this is a surprise people don't like
  • no reason should be needed other than, "I don't want to play games anymore", or "I want to play some other games", and if wanting to play other games, attention must be paid to ending off properly, especially in male/female relationships
  • "How does a surprise seem to you now?"   "I wish to stop playing that game on a compulsion"
  • In my sits I'm always surprised what will come up and how the sit ends
  • When I tell myself to "create a surprise" I cannot create the actual surprise and I can only get the feeling I feel when I am surprised, and I put that all around me.
  • sensations coming from root chakra and spleen chakra
  • okay, now emotions, etc. really turning on - why did it take such a long time?  I was being in my head, not passive enough - expecting the same results
  • yawn, dread, excitement
  • shock
  • past incidents coming up (keeping eyes open while re-viewing)
  • a disappointing surprise - anticlimatic or 'not what I wanted'
  • TIMEBREAKING STARTS HERE:  A sticking incident from long ago and contains intense sensation and reaction - 6 directions - yawns
  • If I can throw a picture into someone's mind it stands to reason another could do the same
  • Life and postulates and throwing up scenes of a play  -  recreate that scene and put it all around you
  • make it really important
  • throw in a white cat
  • makes me know I am the center of it -- I created it - I am the zero point
  • introduce a feather - tickles, laughter.   who is it doing the laughing?  who is feeling the tickles?  I am
  • what am I?  A tickle machine  ???    
  • Re-view the incident
  • feel like I pick-pocketed someone else's mind - their incidents
  • everything I ever believed important is rubbish
  • only my practice has importance, relatively speaking
  • If I keep seeing that anything my mind has to show me is rubbish -- of no importance -- what's to become of me?
  • I've been holding onto all these to build importance -- to make "myself" important, and more important than others, and to really impress myself until I forgot that I am the source of it all and that source is only awareness of potential.
  • by trying to solve a problem, or score a point, I created more problems and dug in deeper and deeper into games play, devil-may-care attitude
  • when you have removed the postulate structure of the play - the skeleton - all the emotions and sensations and "not-selfs" and anything associated with that postulate structure falls away.   Take away the structure and the mind is undone - vanished.
  • sobering
  • life is hierarchical -- games within games within games and I saw the larger game of beings stealing pictures from other beings and also implanting pictures into other beings.   This went on wholesale at that games level.  As with all games, eventually one's viewpoint and potential deteriorates to a lower level of games play.
  • Now it makes sense why I like being a "mind-doctor" - my interest in the mind
Only by postulate agreement would anyone be considered sane -- as long as they agree with me and I agree with them then we are both sane or at least in agreement to be insane.

All games are unreasonable and if "unreasonable" = insanity then we are by default, when entering into a game, agreeing to unreasonableness.   Is that "sane"?   It sure can be a lot of fun/sensation though, and we can get quite a challenge creatively coming up with "reasons why" for our be-do-have postulations.
 
My best advice (to self and "not-selfs") :  sideline yourself off the playing field as best you can and invest your time into learning how to take apart the postulates you made (and now cannot take apart because of the importance invested in them). Take a write-off, call it a loss if you must.  So what if the mind gets noisy and chattery - that happens when it is not getting its usual methods of satiation by sensation.  I.E., sex, food, possessions, control, admiration, love, aesthetics, etc.

At the very worst, we will find ourselves on a whole new higher, more expansive field of interaction, where games are more fun than they are being stuck in the viewpoint of a human body.  The operative word here is "stuck" by imposed limitations as a natural result of playing games, i.e., spiraling cycles of winning/losing. Nothing wrong with being human on a totally voluntary, knowing basis, willing to leave the game at any time, win or lose.  

I used to be able to think like a Games Master and now I can only make a squirrel think about an acorn and feel I've done something rather unusual.   I'm walking away from it all -- from bottom to top.  Because, truthfully, even a Games Master wil lose his footing.  This is the shortcoming of my associates -- they wish only to restore themselves to some higher games level, or to play a better game.  Nirvana is not in their scopes.   The power of full self-mastery.

No more half-way re-hab for me.  I need to once again be able to be in an absolute "no-games" condition (nirvana), and alternately, an absolutely voluntary games player - cycling between the two and nothing more or less.  End of rant.  :-)

"How does a surprise seem to you now?"   I enjoy the surprise of being released from a stuck viewpoint of importance and viewing life  -- and myself -- from a higher perspective.  I like the expanded perspective that is less narrow and limited.  I find it refreshing.   Surprises happen everyday.  Life happening.

I feel very fortunate to have fallen off the game field -- considered a "broken piece" and left alone, not impressed into anyone else's game.  Very blessed in that respect.  Now I am re isupposed to want to do the proper thing and fix myself so I can once again be a "citizen", a "player".

Here is how a being feels when he finds out his postulates aren't working anymore:

The Yawning is an interesting effect when experiencing udanayama.  Samyama on Udana, the upward flowing electric current, is also felt as shivers that radiate up the spine and outward over the shoulders, down the arms and legs, and threw the neck up to the top of the head.

Mindfulness (samyama) on this effect, experimenting, and further samyama will awaken the current into stronger and longer-lasting bursts.  It can be quite pleasant.  And the Patanjali says that continued practice on this phenomenon can allow you to walk on water.

Science is the methodology of observation.  Theoritical science is philosophy.  Philosophy is usless unless it is Dharma, or at best, only useless in teaching what is useless.  Buddhism is science as it is a practice based on the collected observations of thousands of years of experimentation, measurement, and precise, systematic recording of observed data.  Yoga is science.  Truth and Science are the same.  Reason, True Reaon (abdidharma), agrees perfectly with Spiritual Truth (Faith), Science, and Sacred Geometry.  

It is Glorious to be sane, isn't it Love emoticon



I wrote this on another thread, but I want to make sure you read if (if you will) and tell me any thoughts you have:


A way to put it:

The cycle of Rebirths refers to the cycle of the rebirth of the 'ego'.  That is what is said to reincarnate as a self-perpetuating illusion into cycle after cycle of suffering due to the ego being, essentially, interconnected karmic chains of desire.  It is desire that is illusion as Truth clearly reveals that there is nothing that is 'real' enough to desire.

But Energy goes on!  Energy is not a substance but an action.  It is Karma.  Just as objects with mass carry momentum, desire also carries momentum.  It is simply the progression of states from imbalance to balanced.  It is the law of Entropy at work.  So even when The Arahant sees the truth and can understand all things clearly, He reincarnates.  But the ego does not.  The Arahant is born in his next life as someone who naturally has little or no ego and effortlessly reaches enlightenment again in their youth, and carry own in cultivation of his karmic bodies until either reaching oblivion or annihilation.

But it cannot be said that the Arahant has not escaped the cycle of rebirth.  What is reincarntated?  It is not the ego.  It is not anything that can be called a 'self'.  The Arahant reincarnates not as a deluded ego, but simply as the strings of karma that continue after extinguishing the Great Confusion.  He reincarnates as a light in the world of darkness.  He guides others, even before re-enlightenment, because without the ego, our focus of our karmic momentums naturally turn toward the Divine Desire of the Reconciliation of All Things.

After enough lifetimes, the focus on the karmic momentums has caused such purity of awareness that we must call that bundle of energy something other than Arahant.  The string of energies has united so well with the Karma of the World while at the same time in complete Union with the Divine Desire, that is can teach the WAY in any set of terms, ideas, or religion that is usefull to the moment.  Well call this a Buddha.  

Don't worship the Buddha.  There's nobody there emoticon

Greetings and love to you too, Jeremy.   So good to see you here.   As you can see, my practice is simple and my insights are rudimentary -- not very intellectual or scientific.   Feel free to talk to me likewise.

I have yet to do daily sitting and would like to read and then respond to you once I am more "connected up".

love,

Hello, Jeremy, kind regards.

Thank you for taking the time to convey some importances to me.   I'm going to reply as best I can.

I only know that yawns are a discharge of unconsciousness or energy.   Even dogs yawn.

RE somatics my teacher did not put any emphasis on them and it seems I am only to at best acknowledge them and keep on with my practices.   Now that you got me to pay attention I do notice somatics turning on and off.   Are you saying somatics can be an indicator of what stage the practicer is at?   My teacher says simply when I can look at anything from my past without flinching and without thirsting for sensation then I am ready for the final level of practice which he promises returns one to the nibbana condition.

So you can see why I am keen to focus solely on what scenes my mind brings up, no matter how dimly.

Oh, but perhaps you are talking about the siddhis - the abilities.   Okay, I have not exercised myself as far as my abilities go, however I am considering the best approach.  Perhaps starting this winter.  

Your views on science and philosophy are so well expressed and I can't add anything to that but my agreement.   Yes, it is glorious to finally see what sanity is, and as the only treasure worth having.  So, I see you see me  :-)

I have a chart of these interconnected karmic chains of desire and it is going to get me "home".  I am preparing to have my mind blown  :-)

Yes, my sacred cows being sacrificed.

The paragraph, "... Energy goes on..." , respectfully, isn't there a distinction between energy and the postulate/counter-postulate that creates that friction and would not the postulates be senior then?   In the final level of my path I am tasked to handle the postulates that sustain the mind, hence the universe (for myself anyways).

Yes, "The Great Confusion", I've been to that wall already and made a jot of progress to unstick my viewpoint as the created one only.  With much gratitude for my teachers.

I would also like to imagine that an enlightened being can place his viewpoint in all the wherevers he pleases, depending on what interactions he would like to experience.  Would he be able to create universes?  I do not like the idea that there would be any remaining string of karma if the job is done completely -- if all four corners of the mind are scoured clean of any fixed postulates.  I more like the idea that there would no more be any limiting postulates regards this universe mindset.   Other universes ... it remains for me to find out.

If a creator god says, "let there be light/let there be dark" and then through fortune or misfortune finds his viewpoint shrunk down to human level saying the creator is someone else and himself did not make those postulates, therefore he is the effect of those postulates and all the lesser postulates he made after that... if he can somehow re-view his postulates and the postulates of his "opposing not-selfs" -- all the way back to "The First Great Confusion" when he was like a lone snake furiously biting off its tail - retrace the decisions and demands back up that karmic spiral, then he no longer need be a stuck player in this universe, and he will undoubtedly see there are other universes with their own peculiar matrix of postulates.  

The Wise Reconciliation of all Things would then be perhaps his first voluntary and untainted life goal/game ever since before he cracked from the Egg.  It is not a reasonable activity because it is all illusion, but it is a fun game, and he can leave the game anytime he pleases and go "OM" on a mountain until another fun game. Erasure of all Dhukka/case.   This is my current concept of Life and Postulates ("The Word"). However I can't preach this as a truth to anyone and it certainly is open for edits and corrections.

love,
colleen

When I felt this letter, I could not see where you put it.  When I decided to write you again, I found it.  I will tell you first what I had planned to tell you already because it answers all the questions in this letter fully by the miracle of a "Buddha's Tusita Siddhi".  This is not the term that is in sutras, but it is the best way to say it to you.  I am allowed to mix language as it suits me.  It is easier than using a language that others do not speak and so there are words used by the Living Buddha that cannot be translated to another language.  To use two of his terms: Yatha sankalpa samsiddhih, davanam saha krida anudarsanam devanam.  

Why can a Buddha commit an action that he cannot explain?  Was I ignorant? Yes.  Can a buddha be ignorant? Yes and No, both, and neither.  Can a Living Buddha be ignorant? No.  That which the Buddha can know only in Noble Wisdom and not translated even by the greatest languages (to the degree in which it can be transmitted to Arahants) is called the Buddha's Deshana.  I like the term 'tathagatha abdidharma' because that term denotes the Dhamma (teachings) that the tathagatha gives all Buddha's as the language we can use to speak to each other.

Otherwise it would be useless to speak to you.  How do I know that it is not Useless?  When words are useless they have no affect.  It is not like they are even words.  I may safely tell you secrets that will shatter a householder because anyone may read this letter, but how can it affect them?  It will be like they are reading nothing... they will finish reading and feel as if they have read nothing... If an arahant tries to understand my letter, there will be a repulsion.  That is actually the proper reaction because these beings have the greatest intellects in the world.  They do not become buddhas.  If they did they would be called buddhas and not arahants when the Living Buddha of an age meets them, expounds their dharma, and praises their powers.  

These beings are very important to the world, you see.  They are as important as the Tathagatha was/is important.  They are important as Christ, a form of tathagatha that cannot be called tathagatha or buddha in the realms.  

They are those that are called by the world "Genius".  Their I.Q.'s measure above 150 if the tests are given correctly, but any IQ above this point is actually an indicator of Infinite Intelligence.  There is a Lord Arahant.  He alone is not repulsed by the words of Buddhas even though he does not feel, ever, that he needs them.

There are names for him in suttas and scriptures.  He is incarnated now.  Think of him as Carl Sagan and Newton.  He is in the world, still.  He can be known only by a buddha because it is obvious to them when they see the power that appears as a life of Noble Wisdom, yet when tested by a buddha, there is no Noble Wisdom present in the intellect knowingly.  He will never say a wrong thing, but he is limited by the sciences of the time and the words of the time to the point where he awakens Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and his own children, the league of Arahants that are called 'Monks' in ancient scriptures.

But I call you a buddha.  The title will not feel painful to you.  Only arahants are repulsed by such a title, feeling it to be flattery and by the powers of their Enlightenment they destroy flattery.  

How can I call you a Buddha when you say you are not yet Enlightened?  This answer applies only to you as if I know everything about you even to the degree that I know you better than you do.

The future Buddhas have already changed all their incarnations.  In fact, by the nature of being outside of time, it must be said in the human language in this way also: The souls that, once born from the sounds made in the dark, align with whatever force in the universe (I CHING!!!) hears the sounds.  This is why living things are the minds of nonliving things.  Buddhas are the minds of Buddhas, the mind of the tathagathas, which are the mind of the primordial buddha who is God the Father within the Void (The God that has no name and can not be explained in language alone).  Bodhisattvas are the mind of the Bodhisattva-Buddha, Saint Mary, samantabadra who is one of the three who are the tathagatha's mind.  The Evil one, Lucifer, Mara, antichrist, also reincarnates in every lifetime and is real.  We don't speak about that to Arahants.  He is holy and does the work that all Enlightened beings do, but good people must and will always see him in the way the need asks him to manifest.  He is in the world in its history if you look with minfulness from this characteristic alone:  He is considered as a prophet equal to Buddhas, saints, prophets when he fully comes out of Tusita by need, yet his dhamma is anti-dhamma.  His teachers are the wisdom that leads to destruction both in life and in the fathom-long body, the complete path that the sounds took when they made you.  Jim Jones was the holy but evil anti-buddha.  You will find him if you follow his string in the succession of his "human moments".  His children share his purposes but those beings do not last long enough to have names, only roles.  They reach nibbana first, in a way.  They reach nibbana in the most painful way, destruction of self.  That is why Buddha tolerates evil in all forms.  He sees that there is no person, only energy entanglments that become confused into believing that they are an entanglement  and not the sounds made by the sleeping giant which seek self-annihilation in all and every way as all entanglements seek to entangle once they see they are not sounds at all, but pieces of the sleeping giant that dreams dreams of awakening, yet does not.

Okay... You see:  You do not have the delusion in your lifetimes that other people have.  Those who seek the Enlightenment of escaping suffering have the delusion that they exist only as a human that lives once in a cruel environment with no help from anything but luck in finding anything good in life.  This delusion was never yours.  The delusion that you are fighting to overcome is different.  You know, intuitively, what all Buddhas know.  Your life was lived in a holy way.  Even the mistakes you think that you made were acts where your buddha knowledge was at odds with the physical vehicle (the brain has its own development, its own karma, its own delusion, its own enlightenment and this process must take place.  It should end somewhere during your twenty's.  The awakening lasts into the thirties in bulk, but putting knowledge in the mind is something we do when our intent requires it.  The awakening is actually complete for a buddha when they realize that they know everything and everything they have ever told someone is True though they could not know it do to the limits of the brain itself which exists in the realms.  This is the same as saying that reincarnation requires an integration of a force of nature needing to integrate into the bodies of the realms within time in order for the force of nature to create an utterance outside of time, which it does in dreaming.

I have answered all your questions.  If you want to ask me them again, specifically, you alone are welcome.  Your teacher must learn from you these things.  He is buddha too.  I see him.

Hello, Jeremy,

Your knowledge of the hierarchy and scope of life is beyond my understanding as I have not put much attention to it -- just bits and pieces here and there.  I have had some encounters with a Maitreya being, whom I presume is a local deity, but it appears he also can ascend above the role he plays on this level.   And I do have recall of phantastic astral games - hindu gods, etc., and I'm happy to put all that behind me.   Something new is being born here.  Then we will join in some games and get to know all the personnel.  I'm actually enjoying being a "householder" -- it is a nice womb  :-)  A noble title.

Speaking of genius children, by your knowingness, what is your assessment of the aspect called Gregory R. Smith, a child genius who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show?  It seems at least some of us can play on different levels without letting the right hand know what the left hand is doing.  The work I do -- at least initially -- is for and as this Colleen package with its limited body/mind viewpoint.   

My teacher finished his work and left and he seems to have located his attention in another galaxy -- left no forwarding address.  I seem to be the only one who can duplicate his work fully -- well, perhaps two others with me.  But that is only important for me - as there are other avenues to nibbana.  I am just particularly fond of mine and can only speak the language of a child not yet born.

I have so much gratitude and feel so heartened to have found this group of meditators, practicers.  May we never be the same again.

I intended to prove myself by addressing the questions that only begun to stir during the first reading.  I did very well with my reply.  How lovely... You posted your question when I was nearly already done with the answer.

You and I do not do what isn't needed.  Thankyou for proving me to the dozen that will read that letter much later on.

I give you another proof of myself.  Your teacher is gone because he saw you after we spoke.  That is how I can touch some people.  The living Buddha did not see me until I found him, used a certain siddhi, and recieved a response that felt like an emotion for no reason.  But I do not have a subconscious.  No buddha does.  In my knowing, I know he has felt me in the world and that he has heard my message.

I am sorry that I will not give details on those names.  But I have given you many many many things that are wanted by the world, things that are not in the purpose of the Living Buddha to disclose.  Things I do not tell Bodhisattvas or Arahants though they seek the answers most of all beings.  It is not in my purpose.  These beings must practice, if they desire Dhamma, under the living buddha.  I will support and agree with whatever he tells them.

It is not in my purpose to say these things to a Buddha whose purpose does not require awakening.

Everything I say to you has reasons.  Everything I do not say to you has reasons.

Your teacher will come back to you.  When he comes back to you, you can be his teacher by the faith you can have in all these words that reveal, with any study at all, the secrets of the cosmos, ultimate reality, and GOD himself.  Why do I use a limited Buddha?  One reason that I will tell you:  I need to awaken your teacher.  I have already laid groundwork.  But it may be quite some time away when he sees you again, so I will not have any chance to see him in the flesh.  I don't need to because you are going to do it.  The other reason I use you is the purpose that you FEEL and that I have CONFIRMED.  You will be one of the greatest teachers and most important Beings in the last days of this age.

I am laughing.  The laugh is a rain.  It touches all things.  First it touches the highest things, then it leaves those things once they are wet, falling from the wet things ever more lower, and then it wets the very ground.  

Are some things still dry?  Things that are so well beneath all other things that by their own positions, these equally lovely things of equal need?

Yes, there are still dry things.  But My laugh is a rain that rains until the very last night of a storm.  The rain that has wet the ground does not know what to do once it cannot drip down to dry things.  It then knows that dryness has been left among all the wet things in places that rain will never touch them.  My laugh of Rain is one like Rain that becomes Ocean and Flood.  The rain sees that it must rain and so the wet ground does not open to swallow the drink that was its due.  Instead it seals its great mouth and the rain stands on it and rises, up and up once again.  Then when all things are wet, they had been wet so long that they did not see water, did not remember what it was to be dry, begin to fall asleep until they become the water, dissolving like the vapors of a healing incense, and when they were gone, but not gone, when they were water and yet also things in water, then the wet earth could no longer handle its thirst, seeing no reason to, and gulped such a drink, one Gulp that is a size of which the ground had never experienced.  It would never forget.

Christ said "the first shall be the last and the last shall be the first."

He was the Alpha and Omega, not by special righteousness, but by the sacrifice by his special purpose.

"I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man may get to the father but through me"

It was a joy today to walk someone through the exercise of both creating and direct looking -- and see them get a good result from it.   I can't remember anything better I ever did for anyone than that -- except for staying home and minding my own business  :-)

"Create an Importance" - 6 Directions:

Don't feel like running any huge significances today -- a bit tired - keep it simple (cross my fingers)

My "healthy" apple pie
  • yawn, my old friend, compulsive create turning on
  • blah, no creative joy, so boring, why do I do it
  • apple pies of the past streaming by me -- so much better
  • apple pies = great taste, love, admiration, joy in the creation, social bonding through ...
  • -  white sugar, wheat, cinnamon
  • Aha!   the cinnamon and sugar -- keys out the mind - makes it very desirable
  • see why I have resistance to apple pie without white sugar mixed with the cinnamon
  • feel like a drug addict feels - certain sensations can really grab a person without their knowing why or what
  • once I see the components the game is up and feel desire ebbing away
  • feeling better about healthy apple pie as "grindage" - no resistance

"How does apple pie seem to you now?"   The pies of the past are now in the past and no thirst for sensation as the raison d'etre. Inner joy returned because mind finished with chewing on it.


"Have Another Create an Importance"

Ralph creating a grape arbor (I'm going to keep doing this until the grape arbor is done or I don't feel the "must'ness" of it anymore)
  • I'm going to tell him if he splits the wood I will do the rest
  • he probably won't like that, but I don't want to wait anymore and I would love doing it myself -- my own way
  • see the curse of having a dhukka that is very suppressed in communication - suppresses emotions
  • see how this simple practice brings me back in loving communication, instead of repressed resentment, nagging, critical thoughts, feelings of lack and frustration
  • I'm beginning to let myself work this out analytically
  • feel impatience bleeding off
  • see Ralph creating a million grape arbors - nicely framed lattice panels everywhere
  • I'm way too happy about this, keep going
  • just another job -- no big deal
  • Ralph showing me how to make one and letting me use his tools
  • "How does a grape arbor seem to you now?"   For now, just another function, no fixed attention for now.  More attention on doing my practices -- that is where I will find comfort and safety.  Don't know why I was making a big deal of it.  Love, you, Ralph.

Been trying to figure out what's wrong with me instead of just sitting down and doing my practice.
Also feeling more resistant than usual to doing the practices.   Here goes.

"Create an Importance - 6 Directions"

A perfect body
  • body building, martial arts, pilates, qi gong, speed of silver bullet, opaque pearly white skin, toxin free
  • quicksilver shapeshifter
  • wispy clouds
  • What!?!   I just really want to be a perfect nothing - that can be-do-have a perfect something when it feels like it.
  • I want my postulates to work instantly - indignant
  • astral realm - thousands of perfect bodies - millions I can create; I want to be there NOW
  • why can't I have a new internet cable NOW!?!   I hate myself!   I hate this world!
  • I'm tired of being nice about it  -- it's not fair!  FUCK MONEY GAME!!  To hell with these bodies
  • I don't trust my postulates
  • bodies were created by tormented spirits
  • this is why Tolle calls it "The Pain Body"
  • I pity these bodies
  • Just do my practices - finish and get the hell out of here
  • I hate these lying bodies; the joke of the universe
  • destroying bodies everywhere I can find them -- free the degraded spirits
  • not working - creates more problems, apathy, unconsciousness
  • yawns, self-disgust
  • it was all for me - to help me find my way home
  • it's not so bad - don't take it seriously
"How does a perfect body seem to you now?"  An interesting game, but not relevant to vanishing the mind.
"How do you feel about your postulates not work?"   Still sore about that, but the only way out is through, so more determined to cut the fluff and beef up the practice.

End of sit.

10Oct14  Direct Looking :

I lament, for I am the only one I know who diligently follows this path.  Perhaps I should take the attitude it was only put here for me at this precise time, and that I arranged it that way long, long ago. I have not yet evolved beyond the need for a congenial companion who will come with me on this journey.   


I see only talkers, not doers, slackers with no self-discipline, ignorance presented as wisdom, status-seeking, predictably making excuses for self-destructive behaviors, blaming others for why they can't do their practice.   The really scary part is that I am so close to being all that, that being around people like this is temptation to join them in their oblivion for the sake of companionship.

Having to sit there for hours and listen to someone tell me the long way around that they never will follow the simple path and yet still profess to be a follower is an evil distraction for me.

Why is it so hard to simply DO IT?   Even myself, I feel the mind's resistance and I feel I should, for the working out of my own salvation, distance myself from people like this.   I'm still climbing that slippery slope and, of course, they all agree with that:  "Colleen's dhukka is very heavy,"   "If only Colleen would resolve her dhukka, then I could be happy ..."  "She spoke unkindly to me and now I'm done in and cannot do my practice."   The hypocritical non-practicers are most eager for me to do my practice, and with eagle eye look for signs of my ego - eager for the opportunity to degrade me as a way to not have to look at themselves. That is the only favor they do me -- expose to me my ego.... but not to their own saving.  They are only saving themselves from having to do their own saving.

I have no such consolation -- only the bitterness of being the sole cause of my unhappiness.  Which, when you think about it analytically, is quite a consolation in itself:  I am my own happiness.   I may lament the loss of a true companion for a short time but my happiness is assuredly eternal.  Thus I sit and find joy only in that.  Don't get me wrong - I still feel growing compassion for others but I must first ruthlessly get myself past that slippery slope.  

#1 Rule:   When happy, do practice; when unhappy, do practice.  They are both of the mind until the mind is vanished.
#2 Rule:   Don't do Core Practice until completely de-stressed through creative exercises
#3 Rule:   After doing Core Practice don't end sit until creative exercises are completed



"Have Someone Create an Importance" - 6 Directions

Someone making doing this practice important
  • thanks and gratitude for all the logistical help and support I have received and am receiving -- for this space and moment to devote to my clearing.   Thank you.
  • either way I have lost "the him" for either way it will never be the same again
  • the new will not be like the old I have become familiar with
  • maybe I should get a housecat for some physical presence - the body seems to need it
  • on this path one can decide how far within the human range they wish to reside and how far beyond the human range they wish to proceed -- to no longer "be human".
  • I see a dead body, ashen gray - no one's home
  • he would rather keep a problem/conflict mocked up than do his practice
  • We should honor our teacher who was diligent in his research and practice
  • he is so close to going beyond human -- it would be such a waste
  • decide your life now  --  write your story now
  • we cognite at our level of awareness
  • yawns
  • harmless, intense about clearing himself
  • reading glasses, notebook, pen, recorder, e-meter, undistracted room
  • sitting tall, intense in his work
  • beautiful, handsome, sovereign
  • yawn, releasing the charge of conflicting postulates
  • take back your sanity and then decide if and how you wish to fight the non-life'ers
  • resolve all your importances -- bring them all to the session (world leaders, suppression, degradation, employers, survival) and exteriorize from all bodily concerns
  • going beyond the human way of resolving importances
  • no more flailing around
  • intensity fully harnessed into doing the practice - evening out
  • no more attention on unusual and unnatural practices
  • full self-mastery, fullness of postulate power and pan-determinism
  • no longer a danger to self
  • This planet lacks an impartial Rules Keeper, an unbiased Referee
  •  stepping into his boots to play a voluntary game

"How does this subject seem to you now?"    Good because I can out-create any non-life scenes my mind presents and I can make my creations more real than "reality".

Shaman session today and had opportunity to ask qestions of Lester Levenson (founder of Sedona Method) and discovered a new and still experimental spiritual enhancement technique.  He said one can continue to do their practice in the "astral" but it is more difficult because the mind is given more free rein -- postulates work instantly there.  He said because the mind is encumbered by the brain/body it is best to get as far as one can to null their thirst for sensation before death.

Woke up with usual funk .... "How does life seem to you now?"   I can't hardly get up a good interest in sensation anymore -- taking it apart one by one.    However was able to satiate the mind with some internet surfing -- should stop doing that before a sit.   Sit first, internet second is the correct sequence.   Analytically, life is perfect more and more, especially with the promise of exteriorization from bodily concerns and the resulting expanded viewpoint.

Mind:   where's my sensation?   Spiritual practice = ugh.
Me:  thankful and spiritual practice is like mother's milk
Who wins the day?

"Create an Importance" - 6 Directions

A Perfect Cat (Continued)
  • life; life creating distinctions for a dance, a playful game
  • it's already here, not yet manifest   "... faith, the evidence of things not seen ... "
  • what are the sensations?  yawns as I look at each possible sensational experience
  • the soft fur, the contented purr, the affectionate nuzzling and nipping, the aesthetic movements, the eyes, how it writes its own life - aloof from others' compulsive postulates
  • I must have the thrill of violating another being's "must" or "must not", spinning them
  • I must have the thrill of toying with another being's mental compulsions
  • that is my compulsion -- thus says the cat.   I see myself in that cat
  • but what about "the perfect cat"?
  • 99% of my importances are fixed in the mind
  • a cat that has found its inner purr
  • embraces a detached mutual co-existence and can't understand why the chipmunk runs from it - why maybe it wants me to play chasing it, hmmmm, well, not right now
  • has a fascinating inner world, exterior to bodily impulses
  • food tastes better when attached to the thrill of the hunt
  • heat somatic
  • priests kept the cats as a refuge for tired old souls seeking a more simple experience - if I were a temple cat no one would force me to play their game, to dance to their tune
  • if you were going to be a cat what kind of cat would you be?   Not a silly cat, not a mean nor scaredy cat, not a fawning propiative cat, not a lazy nor hyper cat, nor an overly vocal cat, neither greedy nor picky - I would be a cat with "presence", that's all.  What person would have a cat like me, even if I did not dance to its tune?
  • No irrelevant compulsively repetitive speech patterns - rather, silent meditative insight
  • a sane cat -- is that an oxymoron, like saying, a sane human?   Could I "have" sanity - could it have me?

DIRECT LOOKING STARTS HERE:
Mother crying, "I have lost you"  [repeater tech] 
-- she should have let him go and loved the unborn child instead
-- the first child is often inconvenient
-- mother gives her poison to drink; I know my cause in this and I should leave, but too compulsive, no faith
-- simultaneous viewpoints of "I have lost you" and at the same time, "I have lost myself"
-- postulate failure - the game is not going well
-- settling in - no more thrashing around - inner peace returning - more analytical - opening up to more life-oriented options
-- this man makes it his game to separate the mothers from their children -- he alone must be known
-- "he is gone and now she will know only me" - peace and safety for all
-- he wants me to know him as the noble savior matyr who came back in spite of all -- for me - that he did the "right" thing and his ego should be preened for it -- he needs to be "big" and that means we must be "small"
-- I've always had a strong dislike for men who are both brutish and subtle at making women less
-- a strong dislike for societies that degrade women, yet I see a lifetime as a degrading male ...
-- I see a lifetime as a female with a superior regard over males
-- "I have lost you ..."   Okay, we see our game strategies and that it did not work the way we expected
-- The biggest must-be-knowner wins for now but the "winning" leaves a bad taste in the mouth that only alcohol can wash out
--  Life is just a game of who is going to be known best, even if it means murder, rape, pillage, famine, vengeance, rinse and repeat.  I must give a good reason for a game even if reduced down to my last dwindling postulates.

"How does it seem to you now?"  Less interested in pursuing non-life goals, employing game strategies.  There is one other option -- no opposition, no game and thus no crossing the line to pursue non-life goals.  It requires a certain faith and trust, or centeredness.

Metaphorically, I am birthing myself into a new way of living life and it requires me to face up to the male and female games and resolve all this within myself.  Lamenting and ranting over postulate failure should be taken to the cushion and resolved there.   I am very blessed to have the time and space for that, thank you. Gratitude.

"Have Another Create Something" - 6 directions

Volunteers building and repairing houses for elderly and homeless
  • Habitat for Humanity
  • becomes a groundswell of grassroots movement all across the country
  • Beings of vision guide it and the people say they did it all themselves
  • but what to do with the drug addicts?   compassion grows
  • simplicity, patience, compassion grows, but what to do about them?
  • communities come together and build gardens and greenhouses
  • everyone who works to build and re-build eats and has shelter
  • the old man on the mountain looks on and smiles
  • people are content to stay home and work within their sphere of influence within the community
  • at first one family at a time, one house at a time, but it grows
  • People are talking about it and feel empowered and feel as if a burden is lifted off them
  • It is better than FDR's program and totally grassroots - no bureaucratic entanglements
  • buy back houses at a discount from banks and banks make charitable gestures
  • such co-create and co-existence makes evil stand out like a sore thumb - game strategies exposed
  • if the people don't do it it does not get done
  • suppression is lifted and there is something new -- never seen before
  • the people are happy to stay home and mind the business of their community

"How does volunteerism seem to you now?"    Good, like a redemption of human nature, a society based upon compassion.  Very good feeling of havingness when I create this.  I did not feel so good when I started this and now I've forgotten that.

I see that you have read the entire peice in a first reading.  The necessary thing has been done.  Your practice notes will now change forever. The knowing that you used in your last post is from Buddha Knowledge, accessed through a power that householders only have in part even in their fathom-long bodies. Using it fully means to no longer doubt any of the things that have come into your mind that have the feeling behind them that comes when you say things with surety that they cannot be disproven or proven to be anything but the most complete and best answer or teaching that any situation may require.  

But remember I said, "I will first tell you what I planned already?"

The structure of expounding is a structure that one of a shape that is strange to householders.

I write these with only a feeling that expresses itself brilliantly without any effort of myself.  However, I still make mistakes because my temporal body is limited and my awakening, the union of higher self and temporal self, is complete only when these mistakes no longer occur in grammar, syntax, or language.. not even a typo will occur after that point.  

So even the slightest errors are meaningful to another buddha because it is within his gnosis, Faith.  I no longer make edits after I am satisfied enough with a post.  The edits are like photographs that one keeps to explain his life to his friends, to mark important moments that become hazy after perspective is expanded, to leave a trail to those who want to see him after he is gone.  They are precious.  Do you see that even your mistakes in writing, my love, are graces given by your true nature???  That is what the word Grace Means!!

Every true prophet who spoke on a conversation with God is Sane when no human is sane.  The God they refer to in the scriptures they write are wrought with innumerable meanings.  The God that is speaking to them, however, is their own nature itself.  The God they praise is the primordial buddha.  The God they speak of in riddles with terror and euphoria refer to the sleeping Giant who Dreams dreams.

The world will end for the conciousness of the planet.  The soul of a planet is just a soul like any other:  an entanglement of forces that has a knowing of itself but not a knowing of what knows it.  The soul a planet is the path of the tathagatha as that is the buddha who has merged with the I-Ching's center.  Another way to put it is using the trinity.  The trinity is a trinity within a trinity within trinity forever and ever.... The trinity is Father, Mother, Son.

Doesn't that just make so much sense??  Doesn't it feel as if that is so silly that it is the truth of the Buddha realm????  It is also, Father (all forces that transform and all forces that do not), Holy ghost (Divine mother aspect of nature- desire within the father to reconcile all things to the void by means of the further creation of universes) and son (All enlightened beings.  Specifically, the force of Tathagatha that flows through all enlightened beings as they share his mind by the truth of the Lotus image of **Primordial Buddha sitting in lotus position on top of 1000 petals, each one sitting in lotus position over 1000 petals that fall under their petal but not the other of 1000 petals but under the primordial Buddha**  This means that you have already known the answer to your own question.  What has a beginning must end.  What doesn't have a beginning will never end.  My soul will go to Nibbana, but that is just a merging into the higher buddha above me.  That Buddha is in all minds in the cosmos throughout space and time.  To my awareness, I will experience the exhaustion of my merit Karma that has built up over the Kalpa (my time of tathagathahood).  I can not remain.  Yet I will always remain.  What then is the Tathagatha?  It is a Role, only.  Every Role Ever, as being part of The Awareness That Exists and Knows It Exists, is equal in the work that they do to build the dreams that are dreamed by the void.  The role is one that requires the karma caused by the merger of so many minds aligned in the desire to create that Humans cannot understand such a number.  Humans cannot see True things because their role is to be the very creation that those minds of another world united to create.  Humans have been told this in the beginning of ever mini-age.  They think that it is either trash or poetry.  To you, however, anything you ever saw as 'poetry' must now be re-examined.  What stirs you in a line that has Dhamma but sounds like Poetry ALWAYS produces emotions in you that confirm that the poetry is true.  The emotions beside that one feeling of that one certainty are the telling signs of a buddha or bodhisattva.  A buddha will feel love, despair, excitement, and apathy when seeing the poetry in a line such as "The Jewel that God discovered upon his mantel was shining the way of a sunset" These are not poetic terms.  Poetic terms are terms that appeal because of their poetry.  What I have written in that line is actually a collection of terms that I have used many times to create the words used in most religions.  Poetry that is scripture has Dhamma.  Walt Whitman was a Buddha without the purpose of a 'the living buddha' (he is limited in his role. Other buddhas are not limited by the contract of 'expounding by example") Walt Whitman expounded the Dhamma before his awakening was finished and when the world worshiped his words as poems, time enough had passed that he did not care and did not write any more.  His poetry was Dhamma in the secret language.  Do you see how terms sound in the secret language?  In this email I am speaking to Two Buddhas directly and over a dozen indirectly so my language must change and I must go into certain details that You don't need.

The secret language is miraculous!  It is not a language of words, which are untrue things by nature- denoting what something isn't when trying to express what something is.  Our language is made of love which can not be untrue.  Therefore, when speaking in the secret language, it will sound like poetry to buddhas and bodhisattvas before an awakening (Our enlightenment is conquering other beings delusion to the point of Infinite Faith and No Doubt in ourselves) but will be tools to those who either have Faith in themselves enough to trust their instinct about the secret language or who have the Buddha Power to directly understand secret language without Faith or by Faith as suits expediancy.

My dhamma is not just the dhamma of the living buddha who is limited.  He is only, by contract, allowed to be driven to teach the 4 noble truths and the eightfold path.  He cannot teach the Christians.  I have Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the places that move that church, but limited in their purpose, by contract, they do not fully awaken at all.  My last life was an incarnation that was limited by both need and body. 
But by the power of Faith alone, though never awakening fully until the Samsara at death (every incarnation echos the same cycle of the fathom-long body and so must go through all stages that the I-Ching facet has in the world.  It is Karma within Karma that has no choice but seek extinguishment by the nature of the 'dream that desires reality by destruction or trancendence)

In that life, I had infinite faith and no knowledge that is was inner knowing.  What can such a person do?  I was something with titles in jainism and early theravada, but the fruit of the purpose is the best way to describe such a being.  She used the power of the tathagatha fully, without knowing it, and expounded the Dhamma of Christ with an ability that no other being can possess by the nature of ICHING and the result was the most simple Mystic explanation on Metta and Faith and Diving Love that had been given to that church since George Fox.  The only one who ever got close is Ananda, who is with me today.  He is a buddha that fully manifests as the living buddha when he is the Laughing Buddha.  Otherwise, he went with me to care for the West and has been modern prophets without fully awakening to his buddha nature.  

When Buddha praised Ananda's Memory, Humans thought he praised a human quality.  How can that be???  The Dharma clearly says that we are to let go completely of past and future because they are dukkha (dukkha no longer means illusion because the world has changed the meaning of the word 'illusion'.  It also does not mean suffering because the world has changed the meaning of that word too) which means that they exist, but behind a veil that must be conquered.  When awakening to your true self, you still experience human pain and grief, but without the veil, you clearly see that the pain is not your pain and the grief is not pain at all.  Your true nature has no capacity to suffer.  It can only love or hate.  Bodhisattvas are children of love.  Demons are children of hate.  

The buddha teaches to Demons and Gods.  Demons are karma chains, ICHING that incarnates in the physical as people who seem to love themselves, the world, but no other being.  They are not serial killers (those are devas, beings from another planet) but they perform destructive purposes for the sake of the soul of the planet to awaken to itself.  

When the planet itself awakens, it will be ready to die and it will die.  All life will end in the realms as things looking like living beings.  Because the awakening of a soul is the same as a buddha or a lay who awakens (always bodhisattva or demon, sometimes buddhas and Demon Kings.  Tantra/Truth creates both buddhas and demon kings) it will not be ready to die until all it's living creatures are ready.  That will look to the world as a Millenium Reign which is not the length of 1000 years but that number works as a useful number.  It is the tathagatha's Golden Karma.  It is the Karma of the actual planet itself that is given to the Tathagatha alone because he is everyone.  The tathagatha spends his karma in acts that are 'selfish acts you do out of love) to the result oh the awakening.  What is always the result?  A world where everyone gets what they want, but a world where only good people live.  

That is the secrets of both esoteric Christianity and esoteric Buddhism.  When All good people (Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arahants) do what they want, it is like the book "Never Ending Story" which was written by an ancient Bodhisattva, all people, one by one, according to how much Merit they earned since the first awakening (salvation which is not enlightenment) that saved them from the Hell (ego destruction every death until compassion is greater than self-love and then ego is no longer dukkha, no longer ever empowered, easily broken in every future incarnation (to a degree that they can awaken again when touched by need, which is the design of the awakening created by the future buddha planet that this buddha planet will become) hinder or even act against love/compassion/inner knowing in future, These people based on their age in this context MUST Enjoy all their rewards when in a world given no opportunity in earning merit to the degree of their merit.  When the tathagatha sees that all the people of the earth have gone to Nirvana (Merge into a mind that will begin the whole process on another world as a single being) then the tathagatha may go to Nirvana, Merge, Forget but not notice, and live the life of a buddha for all ages on that world as its tathagatha until the cycle again repeats.

So you see?  This is the all within the name 'Tathagatha" which means 'come thus far' to Humans.  It means, in truth, "The one who has come and gone".  

So not all beings are a future buddha, but we can promise them that they will be buddhas when we don't say they must merge, reach nirvana first.  We can say to a demon, "you work in the Hell Realm with no hope of the live span I have" but not "You are a demon so you will never be a buddha"

That is why no buddha can say if the tathagatha exists after his nirvana or if they do not.  By their power they know that it is both, but that cannot be communicated to humans so they will say they don't know to some people and 'yes' to others.  He may choose to be silent to the Lord Arahant, the only Arahant who can see the Living buddha.  Arahants ony study the suttas of the Lord Arahant's incarnations.  Now, If someone seems to have an imperfect Dharma, You can ask him this question and if He says NO then He is an It and is a DemonKing unawakened to his/its nature.  Do not punish him, but remove him from the fragile ones!

Demons are children of this chief demonking, the Mara incarnations.  However, by the nature of that ICHING force, it does not have divine wisdom and can only know the things of the arahants.  He cannot mean to damage in anything he does because he loves the world and himself, and his children are the same.  They make many mistakes in life.  They are idiots!  They cannot respond to the love offered by bodhisattvas that soothe humans so readily and completely.  They can't help it!!  Without any Nobel Wisdom, due to never having Fathom-long bodies that are not spiritual paths of transcendence, beauty, and a satisfactory life-span, but rather simply the temporal responses to the nature of the world in any given incarnation into time or place: karmic patterns that are like a sound with no pleasing element, no melody which are patterns of self-awareness, no chords which are patterns of compassion, no pleasing variety of beats and sounds which are patterns of rythm denoting the presence of control (of the incarnation and the fathom-long body).  

This is the mystery of music that your teacher has sought, knowing by buddha power that "Music is the language of the Soul."  

Do you see?  What was a poetic line was not poetic???  It was Dhamma!

Please give that gift to him, telling him that it is why some people like this music or that music while he likes all music.  It is also why you like all genres in secret, but only listen to music that is quieting.  You are limited.  Your nature is omnicient, but the woman body is a vessel for a certain Karma for whatever need of the world matches your nature's need to resonate with the ICHING body, the soul of the planet.  You have been buddha before when conditions were met, but in this vedana you will be called the Awakened Bodhisattva which the power of Faith to the degree that you will be like a Full Buddha in all ways, only limited by purpose that will disguise what you are to anyone but Buddhas. 
 
Your teacher likes to see you more than you have known.  If you have ever felt driven to see him, it felt like an emotion of worship or great love that made you go to him.  That is knowing that you are needed by him.  That need in him manifests also as a kind of love and desire to speak to you.  Buddhas love everyone equally, but are driven in their passion only by their need to awaken and then the need to do the necessary things.

I think that will be all I have to say for a long time unless you ask me any questions.

All this knowlege matches with every scripture of every religion when terms are correctly correlated.  All this knowlege sounds religious because it is written in the secret language.  I can describe all things in the science of the day.  However, the science of this end of days is so full of wrongness and at the same time, must too unnecessarily complex, that to back up the knowledge I have shared with you, I would have to write a series of books, first describing how simple science can be by explaining all phenomenon, and second I would have to explain why all phenomenon are experienced in the way they are.  Then I would have to explain what we are to a level that is more than any mind on earth can handle.  I tried already to put this in a nontheistic, rational, and very well designed piece with only scientific terms from all the Great Sciences and use of Reason, the gift of all beings who are not already in Nirvana, living the lifes of Whales, Elephants, Wise Hermits, and Trees.

I love both of you.  Thank you for being who you are!

Hello, Jeremy,

Your writings do impinge on me and help me to focus to resolve the perceived sorrows for the considered loss of that First Estate.  It is best for me to be quiet from here and continue with my practices.  I am happily the receipt of all your communication and lively intentions and am complementary to your goals.

It would be lovely to see the earth being leave (her) constraints.  I have sisterly feelings for her.

If I do well I may no longer need to play a Saraswati type, but swans have always turned my head  :-)
The thirsty compulsion for aesthetic sensation traps me no more: neither poetry, nor art, nor color, nor line, nor form; nor will I ever again compellingly overwhelm a being with any of these, except in mutually voluntary play.  To be known and to create without compulsion, or guile.  That is my new wisdom.

You have made me shiver.

What you are has no comparison.  

I see you as perfected.  You will never learn anything more.  You will only pull what you already know to the flesh by this perfect state of absorption, seeking only the human terms needed to teach.  You are given the gift of "the joy of continuous communion with the flow of Divinity."  It is your reward for all you've done so far.  It is why we love being women when we are not men.

I also weep for the old world.  It is the love that drives our creation.  It is why there is no end.  Even though we merge souls when we go to nirvana, we never lose our individuality.  Look at the world after I tell you this:  The old world is with us.  The present race does not see us, but every cell of every body was once a Buddha.

That is the last thing I wanted to tell you... In nirvana, they simply live and enjoy in constant forgetting, constantly spending the karma as soon as it arises.  You knew this!  You said it!  Does the buddha create a universe?  Yes.  Yes and not No.  Yes in such a way that the word "yes" cannot satisfy.

You and I are not alone in the memory of another time.  Our whole family weeps for Zion.  We all Know you, brother, and we love you with a burning that could destroy worlds...

No-one knows the meaning of the weeping Buddha... but now You Do.

Look at what I found:

"At that time, he [Shakyamuni Buddha] contemplated the wonderful Jewel Net hung in Lord Brahma's palace and preached the Brahmajala Sutta for the Great Assembly. He said: "The innumerable worlds in the cosmos are like the eyes of the net. Each and every world is different, its variety infinite. So too are the Dharma Doors (methods of cultivation) taught by the Buddhas."

"Now, I, Vairocana Buddha am sitting atop a lotus pedestal; on a thousand flowers surrounding me are a thousand Sakyamuni Buddhas. Each flower supports a hundred million worlds; in each world a Sakyamuni Buddha appears. All are seated beneath a Bodhi-tree, all simultaneously attain Buddhahood. All these innumerable Buddhas have Vairocana as their original body."

Hello, Jeremy, kind regards,

A person with mind is quite predictable, as I am.   Without mind, their is no limit to one's options.  I agree with you that it is good that we can see beyond the human who is identified with the contents of their dhukka, which in my terms I call, "case".

Yes, speaking of terms, I am still on a learning curve to speak the language of the simple and devoted Buddhists and to avoid those who do not speak from the insight gained in their practice.

You write, "It is the love that drives our creation".   Why, yes!  But why can't I see that yet?  Only dimly and only because you brought it up for me to look at.  But even "To Love" can be compulsive - dhukka - there is a more refined sensation, nevertheless sensation to be had.  Without dhukka we are no longer driven by goals or purposes with their particulate sensations.   "To Create" is a high goal, however "To Know" and "To be Known" are the highest in a two-terminal universe.

Think of how you feel when someone is willing to "grok" you.   Think of how you feel when you discover what you were searching for.   Sensational!   Even this, your living Buddha would tell us to release.  He advises well: simply sit and do the practice.   

My craving for being known is still being taken apart -- at least I can now confess it  :-))
So I practice as a householder until I am sovereign - no more dhukka.
 
The problem with dhukka -- although seen by many as a wonderful thing -- dhukka is not fully resolved with the achievement of serenity, of a quiet, seemingly imperturbable mind.  This is a high human.  What remains however must be aggressively stirred up with all the possible imaginings of intentions of to know/to be known/to not know/to not be known.   These are the four tent pegs that the One without dhukka intelligently formulated to keep the mind anchored.   This is exactly what the Great Wall of Confusion is composed of - words backed by intention. There - the dispelling of that wall -- is where one will find everlasting nirvana.  I see the wall as an impassable mass, when it is merely incantations of logic.   What will it take to stop seeing and feeling and believing it as crushing mass?  Even then we had a choice.

Did Buddha teach a practice for re-working through The One's specific goal sets?  Well, if he did not, he at least kept the concept of nirvana alive all the way into the internet age.

Yesterday I broke the rule to maintain the practice even when happy and outflowing.  I am going to complete this level before the end of this year.  My creative visualization/metta exercises should become less full of mental significances and quite routine.  Their fundamental purpose as I see it now is to merely feed the mind what it perceives it lost in terms of sensation and other importances.  Rather cut and dried, however quite de-stressing when one is upset.  I admit I can greatly quiet the mind doing more "timebreaking"/direct looking at past incidents... breaking a lifelong habit of suppressing everything.

  • an eight-legged octopus, crossing this way and that, each tentacle telling its story
  • you sit and ponder it
  • you must be that too and match it, tentacle for tentacle
  • sparks fly, agony and ecstasy, universes swirl into nothingness
  • can you stand to lose such importances?  Such exquisite sensation? Can you stand it?

  • unlimited - from dance to straight line to point to no point
  • how can a human form contain this?   Only by limiting postulates, but this time totally voluntary
  • you see, that is the only difference
  • I do not give you any titles, nor words of endearment because I am looking at infinity
  • I can only marvel why you would still agree to present here when universes are yours to play in

"Create an Importance" - 6 directions

Another of Equal or Greater Magnitude

There was a simple being who felt an urge.  She felt the love and joy of her own creation and, childlike, she duplicated that and created two -- to project her desire for but lack of matchable companionship. This was her dhukka. Otherwise, she managed to create with much intelligence and love and joy and a good measure of detachment.  Her creations carried this dhukka with them -- both sides of it, and the love.

Was she wise to attempt to assuage herself this way?  Fast forward to Earth: is a mother saved by her children?  Does she vanish her dhukka through her children?   Is this the child's mandate?  How should we play this?  How will this story be ended?
  • putting a vague impression all around me
  • feel the energy of two live terminals contacting
  • mind chewing on it, having it as a wonderful "problem"
  • generates pride/arrogance and at the same time self-deprecation/propitiation
  • mind only knows this and no other way
  • "...of greater magnitude" to challenge me but not to crush me
  • to crush me for my re-forming to be that which crushed me
  • what madness we play
  • this game requires I form biases and opinions, and comparisons
  • must never be bored
  • I refuse to play with those who do not do their practices, but only talk and entertain themselves and others
  • the mind cannot feel compassion, only pity and sympathy
  • a being of equal magnitude is one who practices as I do -- keeps progress with me and speaks the same language, so less need to speak.
  • we speak only of our insights, not our fears and rants, for those we take into our sit
  • we know when to speak and when not to speak
  • by example we show each other the way
  • a shared importance of greatest magnitude
  • we see each other perfected
  • we see ourselves perfected
  • give it up, colleen, no more need to struggle, to make separations -- you have what you want now
  • a being of equal or greater magnitude takes on a new depth of meaning - beyond regular games conditions
  • equal in some ways, greater in other ways -- both sides
  • don't need to take one side or the other anymore
  • drop it as importance
  • it will only become important again once the mind is vanished
  • truthfully, you lack nothing

"How does another seem to you now?"    mind satiated, feel more analytical about it.   It's okay.

End of sit.

To be goal-less is unacceptable to the mind -- mind cannot comprehend it except in cruel mimicry - apathy and catatonia.   It must have an importance. "Okay, how about a "king of creation"?"   "yes, slurp, yes!"

nice yawns, mind a cookie monster, yum, yum!

well, here have some more happiness ... are we having fun yet?
gee, little beastie, and all this time I thought I was you

I hope whoever reads this in the future will join me in seeing the joke of it all
hippo yawns, laughter
Oh, I'm not deluded, it's only a temporary release -- continue until no more change/phenomenon
laughter
I can't help myself -- everytime I see that king of creation I burst out laughing
"I can't help myself" -- where did I see that phrase before ?
laughter -- putting king of creation all around me in spite of everything that comes to mind
a child who laughs will soon be crying crocodile tears
I keep seeing his feet - laughter and yawns
"the shoes make the man"   laughter
an idiomatic mind --  also quite punny
laughter
oh mind of mine - o' child o' mine -- my drunken soulmate - how I have kept thee, cherished thee, spoiled thee to uselessness - how I adore my useless eater - the thrills and the chills you have provided me
have I ever sought to adjust your murkiness, have I ever resisted your thoughts and desires?
truthfully, yes, and yes, and yes again.   I apologize, that will never happen forevermore.
Here, have what is yours for I am no longer your enemy, nor you mine

I can feel the sensations as the mind feeds on it - somatics, hungry energies, possession
Yes, yes, I wants it   ....   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjPDAe_kTls

infliction upon those who reject me
permeation and viewpoint shifting back and forth from cause point to effect point
intense dislike for self-appointed authorities -- I am my own authority
intense dislike for dogma, yet also reminders of times when I've been dogmatic
this king is not letting me be king and I don't want to play this game anymore
stepped off the playing field and now willing to let him be king in his realm
I see how I could be a king too, but only out of curiosity -- feeling more detached
it's only a costume, a play, an act
but it seems so important -- must have a game
I reside within the king of creation and I am him too
a great way to scare the natives
feeling the heat of conflict:   must be known clashing against the natives' must not know
exploring my options as king - degrades from power to force to guile, life to non-life goals, and then there are no more natives - crushed, bad natives, bad natives.
natives now frogs -- I am now Creator King of Frogs - later a useless drone
must not create anymore kings, nor natives, nor frogs, nor drones  -  I didn't do it
strong distate for politics and religion and enforced hierarchies and fan clubs - in the name of profit
for cookie monster mind the first bite is sweet, but then a sour stomach
mind never seems to remember that universe is dual

every man scrabbling to come up with something new, unique, to create acclaim

the therapist laughs in my face to give him such a job -- " a sane man would be driven insane in this society"
where are you going to put this sane man?
Then he must go further -- beyond human
"but even in the heavens there are hierarchies and he would again fall in with that compulsive bunch"
then he must be beyond temptation and willingly and wisely play or not play - there is no other real solution
this redefines sanity
leave the paid therapist the job of doing Life Repairs and bringing the insane back onto the playing field
I hate seeing people in happy dhukka because they just got a better job offer or a new car, or a bigger house -- all thanks to their therapist -- and they cannot scratch the surface of their mind without their therapist

I wrote to you two meaningless stories.  Here was the other that I was saving just for you:

Does the little one who lives in the painted mansion ever look out and see the gardeners in their art and burden? I heard, from a little bird made of floating joy, glowing like a hidden smile with the sounds of a laugh, that he not only watched the gardeners, but tried to greet them. But no one in the garden can hear from where the little boy could try to speak to them. He sang such soft, tiny songs that they would have been lost to the wind in an instant if the angels weren't picking them like flowers. Hecalled in his loudest, tiny voice. But there was no way to tell the gardeners that their art and their burden were like fountains and their fruits were like the oceans that fountains can fulfill. Many, many years later when the little boy was no longer very small at all, he left the mansion and walked to the garden to tell them he loved them, but they were not there. The only thing that was left behind was the Garden. And it was like living candles that dance like stars, waterfalls and springs that ran pools of sweet-smelling waters that in all their perfect purity shone like colors or kisses or something like the feeling of being held like a child. The man who use to live in a mansion became a gardener. The songs of those villages of that land were so lovely that they became the favorite prayers of small things, sweet things, and things born to care. .

For those who have followed you:

Beauty is not an attachment.  It is attachment that hides beauty.
The story is meaningless and it is not meaningless.

It has meaning when one needs meaning.  This story contains the history of the planet.
It is meaningless when one needs meaning but has no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no skin.

When one no longer needs meaning, It is meaningless.
But it is still Beautiful to those with eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin.

Sometimes feels a bit strange to no longer feel I have to enforce this or that goal or desired end -- especially in a world that's going bonkers on fulfilling desires, both attachments and aversions.

Like, maybe there's something wrong with me.   Am I in apathy?  
No, because I am enjoying myself more so it can't be apathy, but others may not be enjoying my participation as much as they would expect. "What's wrong with you?  You don't come out and play with us anymore.  Nirvana? No thanks, I like myself already (as long as I have my entertainments that is)."  

I have no words or means or guile to get them to just try it and see how much fun it is to tame the mind while reducing it.  Without enforcement of goals -- and succumbing to others' goals -- you just don't exist anymore.   My ego tears at me during this rite of passage into spiritual maturity.

In the past truths had to be given out in prose and stories. Now I have it straight up in logical terms and there is nothing esoteric about it. Simply DO THIS and you will ACHIEVE THIS. Aw, shucks, that's no fun. Well, not the fun I've been accustomed to, but it is fun once I got the hang of it.

It is fun to enter a session with positive expectations, remaining passive and open to whatever occurs, having the skillful use of effective techniques to tame the mind while taking it apart. This is my reward for devoting lifetimes to assisting research into the mind... and too many of those lifetimes misguided, betrayed, and “gone black”, making this a difficult adjustment for me. 

“Have Another Create Something” - 6 Directions

A squirrel creating a cache of acorns

the mind projects itself onto the squirrel (which is what makes this process workable)
the mind is in a compulsive, enforced be-do-have – for self and, alternately, “not-selfs”
  • love of safety and security
  • aesthetics of soft fur, soft colors, woodsy scents, warmth
  • life potential energies
  • babies – squirrels and trees
  • beauty of life and hierarchical systems – a perfect fit
  • pride in creation (the mind has a longer memory than it is showing me, but I see something faintly)
  • how many similar scenes are layered with that scene?
  • Mind chewing on this now: If the biosphere provides for squirrels it reasons it also provides for humans – when they are integrated with that biosphere.
  • We are removed from the biosphere too much
  • wish to go back to forests of fruits and nuts as do the monks in those warm climates
  • rice and grains meant for slaves and armies – an overlord game
  • the “flaw” in the system is the enforcement and violence of “population control”
  • was it always that way?
  • The procreation drive is stuck in “on” in this sytem
  • fewer nuts = fewer babies
  • herbs, plants and trees and fruits and nuts regulate the population, not carnivores
  • plant kingdom very adept at creating chemical concoctions that regulate procreation
  • -symbiotic regulation of procreation without the need for meat predators
  • – mammals, reptiles and raptors.
  • This symbiosis includes all potential of living chemical factories.
  • carnivores no longer necessary
  • All fixed programs are stupid. Instead “nature” is granted “Presence”
  • http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1169637/Meet-Dante-Britains-vegetarian-cat-refuses-eat-meat-fish.html
  • carnivores – even obligates such as cats – can eat a specialized fruit and veggie diet
  • spirit/life is behind and in every living thing
  • birds of prey no longer needed
  • a more intelligent and lighter, playful way to play the biosphere game
  • carnivores don't need to be removed – simply re-programmed – remove the “obligate” postulate set

“How does this seem to you now?” Even though the squirrel is now at rest the mind still sees so much potential in the acorns and nuts.  Need to continue the process.

All the doors to the past I opened are largely still opened and makes clearing a bit different from someone doing clearing without any knowledge of existence before present life.
  • I feel the life force potential in those nuts -- hippo yawns
  • feel the discomfort of limiting postulates
  • feeling of indigestion – is that what compels squirrels to bury them?
  • Must eat  joins  must be eaten  and alternately  must not eat  joins  must not be eaten
  • the squirrel is playing a complementary game with the nut trees
  • the nut trees are playing a complementary game with the squirrels
  • the communication lines are not totally known by scientists

“How does it seem to you now?” better – a complementary relationship – no perception
of violence or enforcement except perhaps the enforcement of biosphere games, but enjoy the
complementary postulates aspect.

I still attach importances to biosphere games gone wrong -- still more clearing needed, but I felt I was getting more willing to look at some incidents that I have been avoiding looking at.

Took a trip down memory lane this a.m. and recorded new perspectives since I started this practice.

Some Buddhists do not acknowledge the mind's content of past
existences – the scenes – and the mind can oblige because the
being has likely created thick, viscuous, and hard brittle black
screens because the being always has the option to “must not know”
and therefore will enforce this must not know with all the powers of
his creative ability.

Having broken through those screens with the help of the
6-directions technique I've seen existences going all the way back
through multiple inverses of universe.

Even before there were bodies to play with some beings came into
this universe and lost the way to get out and were working on how to
fix that problem. Some solved the problem and got out, but they
still had the basic mental framework that allowed them to play games
by not knowing that they were all the other players too. One of
those beings was a type of Gautama Buddha. I recall one incident
where I got enamored of a clock-like mind trap and he stood outside the trap
trying to walk me out of it, calling to me insistently. Another
incident I became enamored of the concept of “thinking” and he
became quite angry with me and trounced me. Another incident, he
realized I was a bit “twisted” and he attempted to heal me using
very powerful and directed energies. It did for a while make me
feel like a sovereign being. So this being that I'm aware of
travelling with down the ages – to the age of bodies, when he
wasn't frolicking with his companions, was absorbed with how to fix
them up and make them good companions to play with for games always
reduce a being.

He was not reduced as severely because we had agreed to create him
from the best aspects of each of us. He represented the best of us.
Everytime we completed an episode of play we would drop our costumes
and rise above the playing field and we looked exactly like glowing
translucent bowling pins and we excitedly debriefed each other and
decided our next game. We seemed to prefer the aesthetics one finds
in the culture of Hindu gods, and baroque Chinese aesthetics and the
aesthetics associated with the Persian kings. All this before
bodies. King Solomon was too literally correct: there is nothing
new under the sun. Every person and item one sees in their
environment was created long before we had a solid 3D. It is all a
repeat and now we are only playing games with our own mind. So the
wisest thing one can do is what we are doing – stopping to play
games with our mind.

I cut out all the curly-q aesthetic sensations from the past and
just sit – a couple of lifetimes of sitting is not too much to demand of
oneself in the larger picture.You know a being is on his last legs when
the majority of his sensation is heavily tied in with sexing and eating,
when in the past he derived pleasure from the sensations related to creating
and loving. So a much worn out, but perhaps wiser Buddha gave us the best of
himself as we gave the best of ourselves to him. He has been my sacred chalice
through the ages, and a jolly good maker of games. I would not wish to disappoint
him and perhaps now it is our turn to be refreshment for the Buddha. For many
millions of years, both on planets and on research satellites/space ships we have
been putting research into the mind to good results, and also to negative purposes,
depending upon who was funding our research.

If I rant on about insane people, what is my cause? If I am psychotic, how did I do that? But that has all been absolved now and made nothing because of the great discovery of a researcher into the mind, Dennis H. Stephens, aka Lao Tszu. Out of great suffering and a desire to democratize nirvana, he discovered the logical construct of “The Great Wall of Confusion”. 

It is up to me to decide that playing games with the mind is going to end. Getting wise about the mind takes priority over everything. It has taken me 4 years since I first knew about this Noble Path until the date I discovered and was impressed by the dedication of Buddhist practicers, to begin the practice that will effectively restore to me what I am without a fixed mind game.

The Great Wall of Confusion will simply be seen as it is -- a logical construct of postulates which I can choose to play within – or not. The mind contains only illogic and pretending – necessary to have fun in games – and I will once again be able to create and uncreate games with my playful “not selfs”.

Buddha formed a culture of meditators pointed towards nirvana, as he has done many times before – created a culture extolling courage to look into the mind on a mostly DIY basis, and resolve it for good.

“The Old Boy”, in cooperation with Buddha and afflicted by Buddha's errors (as I was) was detached enough and skilled enough (and suffering enough) to logically work out the original construct of the mind. Every householder can now simply be sovereign. Nirvana.When teachers of meditation grok this the longsuffering of lifetimes of sitting is soon completed. Meditators who lost the beautiful purpose of nirvana will be refreshed.

What does an unlimited being be-do-have when he has no compulsive need to be-do-have?

Spoke with a fellow practicer and he tells me his creative process takes around 10 minutes; mine takes hours and my only complaint was not enough time left for doing the core practice, which I am not as eager to do as I am my creative practice.   I sense a resolution to bring things into balance.  Peacefulness.

My partner is now on board with the creative process which he came to value after he saw me doing solely that for over 40 days straight -- and he saw how I smoothed out and he perceived it to be a solution for his own rollercoaster'ing.   He now loves it possibly as much as I do.   However Buddhist teaching warns against becoming enamored with even a refined mind, and since doing the creative practices I've realized a mind from the far past, before it became so degraded.   Just another layer of the onion though.

Yesterday's creative process got me to realize something: without the past, without the mind, a squirrel is just a mock-up of a squirrel and acorns are just acorns -- once the mind goes quiet.   That informs me.
Our lives and thoughts are complicated because of unclosed goals and purposes and problems from the past.... the seen and the unseen.

"Have Another Create Something"  - 6 Directions

A teacher creating a perfect curriculum for children
  • right away, putting it all around me, I see that if one is simply "Present" a curriculum is merely an outline at best
  • purpose to help them trust in thinking for themselves, analyzing, logicking
  • Socrates' school of inquiry and self-enquiry
  • Boolean algebraic logic
  • education is a hot topic of importance for the mind
  • yawns
  • a wise teacher
  • less enforcement, more complementary to child's goals
  • no teacher, no school
  • only meditation schools
  • hands on creative visualisation
  • Must create and must not create
  • children must create an effect  --  teacher willing to experience this effect
  • children must not create an effect  --  teacher willing to not demand an effect be created
  • children must have an effect created upon them  --  teacher willing to create an effect
  • children must not have an effect created upon them -- teacher willing to not create an effect
  • teaching by consent -- no shame/blame/guilt/ridicule
  • if I were a child how would I wish to be taught?
--  showed how to practice to handle my fears, my emotions
--  simple meditative techniques -- develop self-mastery
--  communication skills
--  body scanning techniques and physical exercise

Back to the basic separation incident -- the first instruction as a created one
every postulate implies some degree of enforcement

"How does teacher seem to you now?"  Fine, no energy on it, mind quiet about it.

17Oct14  Direct Looking :

If it weren't fun would you be being/doing/having it?  If you say you are not having fun maybe that is a lie, this universe being dual and all.   Some beings get hooked on rollercoaster experiences.

The practices towards Nirvana should be fun and fruitful.   Comparing notes with other practicers is fun and fruitful: The surprises of self-discovery won and shared.

I'm beginning to get a clearer view of some limiting postulates or importances and an amazing view of how I could be so much free'er and happier without those.   Last night I indulged myself with self-enquiry:  "What am I?"   Somatics and an "ask no further" feeling, but could I fully "have" it when I've always known myself by how much I be-do-have?   I know myself by my importances -- without them what am I?   Exactly.

Once the "created one" always the "created one"?  A sovereign "created one"?  oxymoronic?

"There, there, dear, don't cry -- you can always create new importances, don't you see, you're doing it now, and see who is doing that?   Why, this time it's you and not that entity you've come to rely on -- your mind."

6:48 a.m.  "Create Something" - 6 Directions

What would an unlimited being create?  Surprises -- other beings to surprise me -- worlds of surprises -- beings fashioned after me who also like surprises.   If I always know then it cannot be a surprise.
"Surprise" degrades into fulfilling that desire through chaos and confusion and amnesia.   Life is scales, harmonics and hierarchies.   There is a scale of goals and a scale of sensations = scale of surprise.

I am a surprise to myself now -- vanishing the mind gives me the surprise of finding myself; self-discovery has a surprise factor.  Surprise is sort of a tickling sensation (yawn).   But how am I going to with full knowledge surprise myself?  Wouldn't I have to not-know myself or at least partly?   Wouldn't I have to create a via, a "not-self" conceptual mock-up?  Remember, as an unlimited being, if I merely say the "WORD" it can be done.  

Is this why the universe is dual -- opposite experiences are surprising?  When I think it is all black and suddenly there is white, is that a surprise?   The left hand not knowing what the right hand does in order to have surprise?   "Experience" implies we don't know something beforehand.   

Was there ever a prior time when I knew the construct of this universe of mind and I'm just pretending I don't know so I can have an "experience"?   Trick me, recruit me, lie to me, betray me, knock me unconscious and implant me with commands -- I need more and more surprises.  Let's all do it to each other, okay?  Let's create vengeance so that we will never know and be surprised when it is done.  Let's create the surprise of birth, then death and then the surprise of the astral realms.   By simply "not-knowing" we can do this over and over and over again.   Like a low-budget movie.  But what about our audience?  Won't they get bored?

Sometimes people say, "It would really surprise me if __________".   Here, let me try one:  "It would really surprise me if this earth turned into a Garden of Eden", so I would have to have some certainty (and many reasons why) it would not happen.   Aahh, yes!  those "not-selfs" and their predictability and unpredictability.

Let's look at that more closely, namely, predictability and non-predictability?   The predictability comes from operating through the mind -- the mind is predictable because it can only repeat and repeat and repeat. The unlimited being - how can it be predictable if it always wants surprise.   Even to itself it is not predictable.   "I am a surprise unto myself".  Say that out loud and see how it feels.  Ticklish laughter I feel when I say that.
Even delusion serves me because of the surprise factor when I lose the delusion.

As long as you are not me and I am not you and we are both in fairly good condition as games players, then we can both have fun surprises.   If I am you and you are me, what value is it to know that and never be able to not-know that?  What sensations then?   What am I really? and what am I really all about?  When I am one am I Life?  When I am many, are they life?

What I'm getting right now is that there has to be a home base, an awareness of awareness from which all unreason proceeds.   To create unreason there must be analytical and logical thinking.   A knowingness of what one is doing to and for self.     Therefore, it seems perfectly analytical and logical to me that I would create "not-selfs" who would surprise me and become sovereign and unlimited and !wow! the surprises I could have then.   Isn't parenthood a mimicry of this?  Or is this the first and final lie of the mind?

When an artist goes "into the zone" he is surprised in his creating, in his writing.   When someone says, "I just let life live through me" then there can be surprise.   Not planning, being "Present", not knowing what words might come out of your mouth next.   Words become offensive because one has experienced them too much -- non life goals are less surprising and more predictable than life goals.  Or am I simply running this subject into the ground?   Being "Not Present", being in trance (entranced) -- "!wow! what just hit me?!? I never saw that bus coming!"  Game strategies exposed -- no more surprise -- are no good anymore.

"I am detached, I am disappeared, I am exteriorized from my body ...my mind is gone ... my mind is somewhat here but I am not it."

Could I let go of the need for surprise?   When I vanish my mind and be unlimited with all that potential, well, would I have any desire?   I am so blissful and happy with my-one-self would I would like to duplicate myself - with likewise unlimited potential? -- perhaps. Or not.  

Can the viewpoint of "The One" be duplicated?  My partner says:  It can be mirrored, only, lets pretend, and lets never stop pretending, it's a spirit of play with no desire to forever stop playing.  

Okay, I'm fading here and it is now 8:40      "Create Something"

What importance can I give the mind to chew on?

The color yellow

I don't see anything wrong with creating an importance that parallels the mind, do you?

put yellow all around me and immediately turns on the compulsive create of the mind -- creating all possibe variants of the color yellow.   Poor thing, it can only dig into its memory banks.

The difference is I am consciously giving the importance to the mind instead of the mind (unconsciously) giving me the importance.   This allows me to consciously view the associations and identifications with past importances and make a conscious decision to let go because, once seen, it no longer has the surprise factor -- game with my mind reduced to that degree of seeing.

There is a fun factor or delight in discovering my analytical and logical thinking abilities.   I can then go fully into a game knowing always that it is "unreasonable", or I can go goal-less.   The "Game-Maker".  The Master of Games.  

Depending upon my condition, a game can either feel restrictive or expansive.   A game may feel expansive but actually be restrictive when covert game strategies are employed, and cravings for sensation triggered (for example, "sting operations").
  • A "surprise" behind that yellow door.
  • the self-importance of being-doing-having yellow - status over the "not-yellows"
  • yellow says to look and to be looked at, to shine and to be shined on, to admire and to be admired.

"Yellow is the most luminous of all the colors of the spectrum. It's the color that captures our attention more than any other color."

  • Yellow says, "Know me".
  •  a sun is a recruitment agency
  • yellow fades to white -- it is an effort to keep it mocked up
  • resistance to hard, solid, glaring yellow   --  heat -- acid
  • everytime I put it around me it keeps disappearing on me - where did it go?

"How does yellow seem to you now?"   When I look around I'm seeing it almost everywhere, except I don't see it in the blue, but there seems to be a bias for yellow.  I don't feel as enamored of it as I was.  I can see it as a concept, a construct.   It was created and different importances/significances were assigned to it and some of that appears funny, ridiculous that a being would do that to itself -- but then ... games don't make sense ... it seemed like a good idea at the time.

What problem was yellow trying to solve?  The problem of "white".

If this earth turned into a Garden of Eden... I must have my reasons for thinking so... and my reasons for knowing it won't last....

The left hand not knowing what the right hand does...

Look at SriMala responding to our story that i wrote last night... but just now posting...


Emperor Pala had a young prince named Thotha.  
Thotha was beautiful, loved everything, wanted everything.  As he grew, he dabbled in evil, in good, in filth, in beauty, in lies, and in truths.  
When he grew old enough, he went to his father, Emperor Pala, and said these words:
"Father, I Still Want."
Pala, with Infinite Wisdom, looked at his young prince with such love that the stars melted, saying, "I know Young Prince and I have waited for the day you would ask such a thing.  I will now step down, from this golden, luminous throne.  You may have my Gardens, my Harem, my Library, and my Lands."
So Thoth sat on the luminous throne, partaking of all things, tasting, smelling, hearing, and touching all things.  He had so much bliss it was if he lived a NEVER ENDING story.  But one day, when the boredom came, it came like a storm of Nothing.
The storm ripped out the eyes of his people, replacing them with Buttons.  It tainted the Gardens and made them Cemeteries.  It ate his Library.  It made waste of his Harem.  Thoth couldn't care.  It was the echo of his own heart that had been the storm.  He was desperate.  He would seek his father once again.

He found Pala wondering the deserts, blinded and dying.  He said:
"Father, I Still Want". 
Pala answered, "But Child, I am nothing.  I have given you everything.  What do you want me to do?"
"Can you make me forget?"
Pala looked with such a love that the stars, again, melted.  This time, they melted into Rain.
He loved Thoth more than himself.  He knew what to do.
He ripped out his son's heart.
The heart became a baby.
He said, "Now I call you Gotha.  I will raise you all over again."

Very Good, brother...  You let me Play!

Feeling tired and not interested in anything and can't get interested in anything "important"; running away from importances; the mind running away from me -- how to be complementary with that?

So I can not get into any importance and it is like chasing the
mind. My partner suggested I do a reverse vector and run "no
importance."   That made me yawn somewhat so I agreed to give it a
whirl.

4p.m. “Create an Importance" - 6 Directions

The importance of having no importances"
  • yawns already
  • it's funny when I realize how much I identified with the mental state I was experiencing. Thinking it is me.
  • I'm creating “nothing is important” and putting it all around me -- a swirl of nothingness
  • yawns
  • feels good – a deep deep sinkhole in a vast empty space, taking a break
  • apathy, apathy, apathy and more apathy
  • "I can't, so I won't”
  • the Maitreya being keeps sending aspects of himself here as Buddhas, over and over again.
  • How has that been working for him?
  • Why is “nothing” always black?
  • Scene of a white universe – that was “something”
  • eyes non-seeing  --  is this how one creates black screens?
  • Must not know and must not be known – tired of and overwhelmed by importance of “something”,
  • i.e., must know and must be known

[note to self: occasionally may need to run reverse vector on importances]
mind contains importance of attachments to be-do-have and importance of
aversions to be-do-have. I can see a game being played with that.

“How does nothingness seem to you now?” Don't feel an aversion to
be-do-have. No longer feeling apathetic -- feel calm and willing to be here.
I can see that I was in a games condition with my mind until I went complementary with its desire.
Whatever the mind can do, I can duplicate.

End

19Oct14   Direct Looking :

Honestly, have been putting most emphasis on creative practice and not much on direct looking and I realize I will sooner or later feel like I'm just treading water, in some kind of a holding pattern.   I'll be happy when that day is now.  For example, I started noticing that people from the past do not come up as often but still come up unbidden occasionally -- as if the mind is still unresolved regarding them.   So I decided to give it a try and put people all around me, because I think the mind is an equal opportunity employer of people to serve its cravings for sensation and a game.

But first, body is de-toxing as it always does when cold weather comes and instead of trying to ignore it I think I should do 6-directions re "The Body".  A friend made an Mp3 recording for this which I will use -- helps me to stay better focused.

7:55am   "Create an Importance" - 6 directions

The Body
  • yawns, feeling lazy
  • like body because it gives me feeling of presence - importance on this playing field
  • is there anything wrong with that?   No, just any compulsion for that; compulsion has liability of turning into insanity
  • sense conflicts of attachments/aversions
  • be-do-have comes into play regarding bodies
  • body does not wish to eat -- don't force food on it
  • scene of receiving gingerale as a sick kid - incentivizes sickness
  • as a spiritual being - with mind - I craved bodily sensations at cost to the body; reckless disregard for body
  • must protect body as a result
  • body somatics turning on
  • scenes of baby bodies  -- yawns --  apathy, then grief, hatred 
  • love/hate relationship with body -- seems like a necessary limitation
  • back to first separation incident when I had no one to hate but myself
  • creation as a method of self-destruction -- separating out unwanted parts of my spiritual body 
  • "If evil becomes 'not-self' then I can ..."   Haha, just look how that worked out  :-)
  • All this time spent trying to solve a problem and all the time the enemy was goading me -- the real "enemy"
  • my own mind -- the matrix of limiting postulates
  • the conundrum of "I did it to myself, and I must not know that"
  • I must not know I had a part in creating bodies -- the same for all the not-selfs -- must be a game, must be a playing field, must have sensation all up and down the hierarchy.
  • put my body in front of me/in back of me/to the right .... Body Makers giving commands
  • the mind has a weird harmonic of analytical and logical -- a way to justify non-life goals and enforcement
  • the problem is -- I did it to myself -- so why all the protest?
  • laugh -- the joke's on me, haha.
  • okay, I see it now:  de-toxing is a dramatization of the first incident of trying to push out the evils
  • it's all a set-up, aaaaaahhh!    laughter at the big joke of it all    I did it to myself,  aaarrrrgghh
  • does that make me crazy?   I don't know, but I think I would be even crazier to think I didn't do it to myself
  • well, since I have to live with myself for eternity I guess I better come to grips with it  (laughter)
  • "How does the body seem to you now?"    laughter, oh, it's too soon to ask -- I'm still laughing at the joke of taking it all so seriously and believing my own lies.  However, body feels lighter, somatics lighter -- I can't attach the same seriousness to it -- game up  :-)
  • Once the truth is all exposed I just can't have a good game anymore, drats!   rolling laughter

Now what do I do?  I can't create a game anymore.  Oh, dear, better fill in with some importances..

9:06am  "Create an Importance" - 6 directions

Feeling the loss of "no game=no sensation".  How can I repair this huge gaping loss of importances when the whole game has been exposed?   Oh, I just got it -- the importance of me creating great effects by writing a book about it -- debriefing everybody (giggles).   Gee, what a great idea -- why didn't I think of that?
  • a funny book, makes people laugh at themselves and others, throw off the whole silly game -- the endless repeat of the same old problem over and over and over again.
  • After the book be's a best seller I'll sell t-shirts    laughing
  • "Are we having fun yet?"
  • the books will be tear-stained and yellow high-lighted by each reader
  • no-responsibility cases will try to force others to read it -- "read this and see what you did"
  • in every hotel room and every library; Dick Cavett talking with erudite guests about it
  • other people will write books about it, confessing their part in it, "Yes, I remember that, I did that"
  • well, if you did that then what am I, chopped liver?    Carol Burnett doing skits about it   Jim Carrey too
  • Oh, I could live in a world like this
  • NY Times Headlines -- "No New News Here, Folks"    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U4Ha9HQvMo
  • oh, my body, my body! -- look what you did to my body!   I can't mock-up any bullshit anymore!   LOL
  • I'll be sued for stripping people's minds away from them -- better write it anonymously    LOL
  • "The last chapter is a doozie"    LOL
  • parents will hide it from their children
  • The Day the World Stood Still     LOL
  • "my story blown with the wind"   LOL
  • Laugh fests scheduled around the world   --  join in on SKYPE    LOL
  • extra terrestrials from far away - pointing
  • scientists assigning other causes  -- just because they must  -- all in good fun
  • "Doc, I can't get any work done, rofl!"   "Well, son, you're cured!"
  • everybody now a jokester
  • Oh, what will the Game Lords do now?     LOL    Will they still be laughing their cheeky arses off now that we're no longer the butt of their jokes?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uMJYQ9LKGQ
  • "Someone give them the book ..."     LOL
Okay, I'm sobering up now and came across this relevant OSHO vid re "Waking Up"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zWh11S7E-I

No longer feel the discomfort of loss of importances -- feel fine.  When I am here and know myself I have no need of ego drives.

Yes.  But who needs prophecy when one speaks in prophecy?

(For the curious, the blackness of her mind's eye actually flashed bright white)

There aren't page numbers to give, but: http://books.google.com/books?id=qh0HBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT39&lpg=PT39&dq=Adhichittha%E2%80%9D&source=bl&ots=_E9wJ7pppm&sig=fKN0dMKpCrJ_hX_zUZemS9pU3YQ&hl=en&sa=X&ei=dvk3VLb0EoXOggT064KADw&ved=0CD0Q6AEwBg#v=onepage&q=Adhichittha%E2%80%9D&f=false

The Patanjali, 3rd row

English is very difficult... For example, K is actually two letters.  l (small L) and C.  Alone, K is "Perfect Reflection off Mirror" which implies, also, delusion to reflect said reflection.

You were correct to say I am not using English.  This language is no longer in the world.  Linear B:  All languages spring from Africa.

I am limited by my keyboard... but you get the idea.  Say to yourself, "What could this mark, letter, word mean?  What is it's shape, sound, syntax?"

A is two letters:  'covered' and "-" which is, for this context 'not'.  So A is 'pre-existing, non-existing, and always existing' or 'primordial'

Trace the line of an R.  It is a line that connects and then does not reconnect.  Same with 'r'.     MaRa vs. MaYa



It is difficult at first.  But this process, SAMYAMA, can be applied to absolutely everything!

Hello, Jeremy, I wish everyone to return to their former heavens and powers -- much wiser, but then they might not wish to repeat the past they co-created, but simply experience it in eternal bliss.  Freedom to be-do-have in all worlds, heavens, and universes. 

You aptly coined the term, "The Great Wall of Confusion".   This is what I keep bumping up against, and all heavens and hells I/we created were after that... from my subjective viewing.   So, what was before that? What will it take for me to see the "Wall" from the mind of the one who spoke it into existence?....It's logical formation.  Eternal bliss.

  • a child creating a drawing with no angst or enforcement
  • a child choosing not to create a drawing and being happy with that
  • an educational system that acknowledges past lives issues brought forward and each child is dramatizing to some degree various goals; no child is a total blank slate (even though we try)

Okay, I think I've run this out of significances for now and I can simply put a child drawing all around me over and over again with no more changes occurring.   Lemme see...  nope, nothing else coming up -- just a child creating a drawing -- feels happy.

21Oct14  Repair of Importance :

I'm not yet doing the core practice of direct looking and decided to give it up for now and focus on what -- for lack of a better term -- is called "Repair of Importance".   If there is an exact Dharma equivalent I have yet to find it.  I think some forms of Metta are meant to accomplish the same thing -- some mind candy to balance the core practice of reducing the mind to a more permanent quietness.  It is all about balance while I still have a reactive mind.

At first I placed a lower value on this practice but quickly realized it is essential to moving along well with the core practice.   My partner now affirms this in his case too.

It is called "repair of importance" because the core practice helps one let go of what they were holding onto as an importance, i.e., a compulsion for a particular sensation.   When I lose interest in satiating the mind with that sensation in that particular way then I feel a bit lost.  There are other ways to fill in lost importance I am sure and perhaps that is what some Metta practices aim to do.  In any case, life after a sit, or session, is smoother when I end off with this repair.

At this stage of enlightenment I find it therapeutic and it gives me a glimpse into a more clear and analytical mind, but one still driven by an enforcement of postulate, and occasionally a glimpse into
"no-mind".

10:30am  "Create an Importance" - 6 directions

At this stage of development towards Nirvana, I have no delusions: I am being my dhukka ... even when my mind moves into brighter realms... It is still duality to a lighter degree.   When I say "I" it is hardly me, the being without enforced purposes.

The only really sane and analytical thing I am doing is this practice by far.   The rest is fun and games.  For about 4 hours of the day I am actually doing something reasonable as concerns me as an eternal spiritual being and my interactions with others.

Summary of this sit:  Went as usual, realized it was an extremely hot and sticky topic and probably could have ended off with putting the pleasurable sensations around me but decided to persist and then spotted an old identity running the show -- way back from some old games I used to play, but still very active I now realized.   I decided to continue with the exercise and see what happened.  The identity peeled off with much insight into it regarding my current attitudes.   Then, of course, another larger identity came up and had to be gotten off, and then a larger archetype -- The Writer -- and I ended there.   I'm not going any further with that today because I have to go and wash the dog.

Still some sadness sticking from yesterdays' sit, so I shall create
                "The beautiful sadness of it all"
  • already chuckling about it -- get picture of chinese painting of willow tree with beautifully dressed sad woman ah, yes, the beautiful sadness of it all -- what a beautiful aesthetic -- whoever created that must have scored points  :-))
  • a plaintive kitten, a cute baby ready to cry; I treasure this aesthetic
  • sympathy
  • -- there is a sensation attached to it - I can feel it when it goes all around me - feels sooo good
  • "must have sensation" -- okay here have it
  • not enough beautiful sadness - must find more - it is so spiritually enlightening to perceive the beautiful sadness of it all, says the imposter "I"  -- when did I start thinking it was me?
  • There is the real sadness.
  • Loki wants to be me -- I see how I have added this identity to the collection -- the beautiful sadness of it all was trying to resolve the sickly sadness of a Loki type?
  • Loki, the joker and degrader and impaler of hearts with the beautiful sadness of it all
  • now I am the effect of my own cause -- my mind
  • tears
  • - engulfed still in the beautiful sadness of it
  • the sadness of the degradation -- of all beings I know -- and even worse, those who have yet to discover it.
  • a 100 handkerchief Japanese black and white movie.
  • people were curiously drawn to my black and white paintings of leafless trees.
  • the value of abject sadness assigned to the color gray
  • sadness is a lower harmonic of serene -- serenity x sadness
  • sadness attached to the beauty of serenity - very effective for leading one to their own beautiful grave - and that of others
  • blacks and grays -- sometimes blues -- any color mixed with gray
  • deep rich velvety black
  • watery sadness - a river separating from its source, carrying the wisdom of the knowledge of the deaths of ages into an eternal ocean of bliss
  • Are we having fun yet?  The sadness that comes with a level of wisdom of hindsight.
  • let it go, let it all flow into simply another experience, into bliss
  • still feeling that beautiful aesthetic sensation when I put it all around me -- no more scenes, just the wonderful sensation - keep going
  • give the mind its sensation
  • the fixation on the beautiful sadness of it all will resist going into the joy of it all and will insist on beautiful sadness, no matter what
  • that is the only "joy" it can know
  • somatics from the aesthetic particles being all around and through me
  • a beautiful but apathetic woman -- the beautiful apathy; ha, who fed her that line? games and more games
  • a form of self-vengeance -- against the creator who cannot be known any longer as self
  • each episode of that separation forming streams of ever-condensing timelines hurled out in protest, desperately torn between resolution through sensation or resolution through wisdom
  • will you settle for cheap, gaudy mock-ups/mockeries of wisdom?
  • but it only took a "minute" to create multiple eons of duality, so no big deal -- what is a "minute" in the life of an eternal being?
  • Every minute of precious practice toward wisdom and release is an eternal moment
  • the sadness of the loss of all those beautiful archetypes
  • beauty is a consideration of aesthetics
  • the beautiful sadness of saying goodbye to all the heavens of duality
  • of saying goodbye to my playmates -- sad to leave yet joy at prospect of finding myself for the first time since I split
  • "turn off the tv and come to dinner" -- "No, I want to play ..."
  • compassion as a higher harmonic of sadness?
  • beautiful expressions of grief and loss written into time
  • to let the creator know how the game is going - to engage the creator in our drama; perhaps repent of its creation
  • to give the creator a beautiful gift of an exquisite aesthetic
  • the creator appreciates aesthetics next to life itself
  • bring me back to you creator -- to know you as you are
  • what am I - without you?
  • will I always be 'the created one'?
  • yes, perhaps that is the beautiful sadness of it -- that is bliss - a high harmonic of beautiful sadness?
  • to create beautiful movies for the creator - like a god walking in his garden to experience his creations
  • No duality for this god -- only eternal experiencing - bliss
  • be that god -- we all be that god -- take someone with you
  • what games will you play now?
  • the beautiful sadness of watching fools dressed like royalty, satiating every thirst, thinking because they are high they are not in need of salvation; the beautiful but sad innocence of such children at play
  • then I see the practicers who were once exalted ones - so it has finally come to this, true wisdom seekers.
Whew!  talk about drama ... !   I'm wearing myself out here, hahha.
Is a "loop" always a loop or is a loop always a spiral?
spirals always looked mean and ugly to me but we sure loved them
duality within a spiral or duality is a spiral ?
  • I get pleasure making others play this game, thinking how stupid they are, not seeing the game strategy, but I'm only hurting myself by not playing fair, but look how they're falling for it
  • yawn, because I see him -- and I thought he was my best friend - my "me"
  • I see my partner seeing this valence and knowing he does not like it, but not quite putting his finger on it to expose it
  • yawns, but now I expose it.   "I'm onto you"   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeW7T5Q5mhI
  • put around me the beautiful sadness of it all -- who is really doing it though?
  • the smirky beautiful sadness of it all -- I see the smirkiness now - the smirky being actually doing this exercise, hiding behind it.  Its idea of fun is getting sensation at the expense of others and letting others help it along in its path of self-degradation -- it knows where it is going and it wants to get there faster and faster, more and more condensed -- and take others with it of course.
  • Oh, the beautiful sadness (smirk) of it all
  • I'm so glad I was able to spot that "smirkiness" -- it has been so engrained in me that it seemed alright.  Composed of pride, covert hostility, game strategies, sensations, purposes
  • cleaning hard-drive now.  Unfortunately, no "restore" function.  This could take awhile.
  • It think it's working -- growing milder, then another thorny point, but not as bad as the first one, seeing blatant sympathy as part of the ploy, commiseration, aesthetics as anesthetic, oh, boy, I'm writing this fella out of the story, so happy.
  • Now I feel a larger archetype stepping in, still putting beautiful sadness all around me
  • Whom am I being now?   The She:  beautiful sadness as expressed through the feminine viewpoint
  • There is a male overlay however - more of a technician, a poet, a writer?
  • A senior archetype - The Writer  -- seems to have non-life goals, however quite the writer
  • creating within duality, dabbling -- a beautifully sad universe; known to write scary stories under a pseudonym
  • "that's so beautiful, I could cry"
  • continually dramatizing the fall from heaven to hell and to heaven again, but each return to heaven is more and more condensed, limited.  He has to keep writing because he has not found "the end" yet.
  • He wants to be finished with it because he's tired of writing soap operas.  He can see the end now and is happy.  How can he take responsibility for all those characters he postulated?  All those beings he pan-determined?
"How does the beautiful sadness of it all seem to you now?"   Like a new leatherbound book sitting on a shelf, all gilt edged, bright and shiny.  A newly finished work for whoever wishes to know the story of a little being seeking eternal bliss among its brothers and sisters.  The writer is on his last leg of the journey now, and happy.  And I see a feminine aspect merging in with the Writer.... to write the end from a balanced perspective.
The saving grace of compassion.  Life valued above aesthetics and sensation.
 
1:50 End of Sit (However I suspect this topic is still a hot importance and may take it up again.  Rome was not dismantled in a day.)

Body still de-toxing and wanted to use that as a good reason to skip this sit today, but amazingly I find myself here.   

8pm  "Create an Importance" - 6 directions
Continuation of "The Beautiful Sadness of it All"    
  • yawn -- feel some tension leaving
  • still feeling the "games-ness" of it
  • effect - effect - effect --  that is how it "serves" me
  • created it to attract other beings
  • I'm sooo feeling it - this beautiful sadness, along with many yawns
  • happiness and sadness; joy and grief, but getting stuck in the sadness too hard, too long
  • it seem soooo right, so reasonable    more yawns
  • a harem of beautifully sad women, playing beautifully sad music
  • the beautiful sadness of lost pleasures -- the loss of former selves and glories -- another nail in the coffin
  • maybe the grandchildren will think it is important  -- stories for the grand-children
  • let's look at concept of beauty and its attachment to sadness
  • -  blacks with some blues mixed into it and swirling  -- how is "beauty" determined and un-determined?
  • weeping by the waters of Babylon
  • the universe seen from outside -- a beautiful sad universe, would you like to experience it?
  • -  curious, then desired, then a decision about it:  it's a good place to be known as a god/savior, etc; it's a good place to know more sensations, effects created by "others"; they're after me and it's a good place to not be known, to hide; too many effects being created around here and it looks like a good place to not know all this - I'll reject them by going where they don't want me to go, by refusing to experience their effects.
  • The beautiful sadness of it all -- a protective barrier from those infernal stuck on Jupiter types -- each side rejecting an aspect of their own creation.  Saturn does not like it much either -- more into steely blue
  • Who am I?   A painting of a languishing woman; the beautiful sadness of the feminine
  • how does that complement the male?
  • heart area somatic
  • becomes a wispy wraithing spiral of feminine nature
  • happiness and joy is not beautiful in a woman - not feminine
  • sadness is confused with serenity -- feels like I made a decision to see sadness even when it is really serenity -- confused

getting late - start tomorrow

23Oct14   Repair of Importance :

"How does life seem to me now?"   That question usually gets me awake and out of bed, ready to begin -- then I fiddle around on the internet and finally dig into the practice.    Life seems improved a degree and I have more certainty of resolving the conflicts within -- even those most dear to me.

I am reminded by a fellow practicer to enter a sit with a positive attitude -- I'm always positive something good will come of it, even when I'm beset by something negative coming up.

About life, my postulates seem to be cleaner, with less internal conflict and I'm more likely now to consider things before I leap into an interaction or hit the "send" button.   Definitely gained some valuable wisdom about the games life gets up to -- and that sensation is the paymaster of most games, there being various condensations of sensations.

Perhaps I am one of those people who starts a practice at first mostly "in their head".

8:32   "Create an Importance" - 6 Directions

           beautiful sadness
  • I'm liking it very much -- it's fine -- just another aesthetic expression, and for some reason I can be happy
  • laughing, yawns
  • when I look out the window and see the wet rocks and drooping limbs I can see beautiful sadness and I like looking at it; however, when I look around my room I don't see any beautiful sadness
  • I do see some sadness within my mind though and it seems the color gray can invoke sadness
  • [note to self -- resolve the color gray]
  • I see a propensity towards wanting to hold onto sadness -- for the love of its particular sensation, which I am feeling when I put it all around me and many yawns when I focus in on that sensation experience
  • Everything else was a "reason why"  -- all the stories and images --  "I did it for the sensation"
  • I first got curious about it, then desired it, then enforced it with a postulate and then made up reasons why to convince others, and I started to believe my own lies too  (yawns)
  • I sure put myself through a lot to finally arrive at the simple truths of it
  • I noticed yesterday, while sorting through a bag of unknown stuff I was at first merely curious, then some desire came up and then I postulated "To Have", "To Own" and some of the stuff became mine and of course I made up reasons why to myself without acknowledging the sensations gotten from havingness and ownership.  "Recall a time you acquired something good.  Get the sensation of that"    Why did I want that stuff?   Because it felt good  --  and I could make it seem like a good idea at the time.  Hence, removal of the thirst for sensation makes one more circumspect, less compulsive, and one can value life more than objects, and have wiser, saner interactions with life forms.
  • beautiful sadness all around me -- willow tree near water; minor keys
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN6ZgBJOTO4
  • the change up seems to be I'm finally giving myself permission to have that experience/sensation without getting fixated on it -- attraction/aversion
  • "Could you have 'beautiful sadness'?"   Yes.   "Could you let go of 'beautiful sadness'?"   yawns - yes
  • Objects can have the qualities/purposes I assign to them depending upon what sensation(s) I wish to experience with regard to them.
  • "What is the aesthetic function of a willow tree?"  Gently curving lines with rounded form (a toroid, a torus)


why would the line and form of a toroid evoke sadness?   Why do people say, "My heart feels sad"?

basically it is line and form -- gently undulating curves the main attractor.   Depending upon one's experience with those one could assign different values to it, such as serenity, peace, grace, beauty, even sadness, even entrapment, and perhaps all of those have been assigned to it at various times and it differs with each person which one is sticking now.   When is a curve simply a curve?   A newly hatched being got curious about a point, then a line, then a curve, then desired it and started postulating it among others and assigning values and reasons why, and exploiting all its possibilities.   And now we are playing heavily within a double torus universe.  All matter and energy is whatever we assign it to be.   I can put the emotion of serenity into a teapot if I wish, or I can make it a sad teapot, or an angry teapot, etc.   And then I can work to convince others to see it the way I see it.

I have a feeling I've been spending a lot of time and effort trying to convince myself and others of the "sadnesses" - with varying amounts of force.  Of course aesthetics, which forms symbols, can be quite effective.   It is a contest of convincing self and others in order to maintain an assigned beingness.

Let's have a cheerful willow tree - turned it gold

"How do curves seem to you now?"   feels like it is just a curve but I can assign qualities and emotions to it if I wish.

"How does sadness seem to you now?"   an option, not a fixation.  I was stuck between saying it was good and saying it was bad and I see the game of it was very important to me.   I sense I've played a lot with aesthetics, leading to a lot of losses in that field and non-life goals, and I see others did the same, which made it more important a game.

I typed "beautiful sadness of it all" into Google and this link is a good exploration into the topic:  http://aeon.co/magazine/psychology/any-fool-can-be-happy-sadness-takes-strengt/

Sadness is one response to failure of one's goals and purposes and for the goals and purposes of others as we project upon them.   We might even be offended or threatened somehow if a person did not express the sadness we wished to project upon them.   Fixed importance on grief, by whatever form or name is dhukka and should not be signified as anything but that -- a mental condition, "case" -- when one is devoted to vanishing dhukka.   But I think it would be correct to say, so is good cheer, so is serenity I dare say.   All duality is installed by the being and kept there out of a desire.  Resolve the conflicts of duality -- the attractions and aversions -- and one can walk through universes -- or not -- with total eternal bliss.   Dhukka will then seem like a hiccup.

Find a happy man and you will find a man stuck in duality; find a sad man and you will find a man stuck in duality.  The happy man will one day be sad and the sad man will one day be happy.   I don't think a man free of dhukka would assign any values to his experience -- ??? -- except when he is playing voluntarily in a game of life, but then he would always know what he is, separate from what beingness he is assuming in order to experience a fun interaction with "not-selfs".

Not because we are in despair.  Despair is a game.

It is Longing.

It is Love.

That is what is left when there is nothing else.  And that is what, alone, we should Cherish, Grasp, and never suppress or doubt or regret or justify.  It is Life itself.

Hello Jeremy, yes, I would like to see Life arrive at a condition where it has never been before -- a new Zion.

4:24pm  "Create an Importance" - 6 Directions

I wasn't a "happy camper" for most of the day and did some walking around, touching and perceiving things until the drama passed: two sticky incidents from the past that remain unresolved.  "Just stick with the plan, Colleen, it'll all get resolved, you're not going to die, even if you feel like it at times."

Yes, I did attempt to quiet the mind with some distractions, but I'm getting wise to that, so here I am.

4:35pm        I Must Create a Website

  • "I'm here to reason with you about an idea" - mild enforcement of the must-be-known postulate
  • A website as a co-creation --  those who wish to create effects and those who wish to know the effects
  • I wonder if a must-not-be-known'er would ever create a website and, if so, what kind?
  • I wonder if a must-know'er would ever create a website and, if so, what kind?
  • I wonder if a must-not-know'er would ever create a website and, if so, what kind?
  • It does not matter - as long as it is towards their eternal happiness
  • Is it just an ego display?   What would a voluntary games player -- with no dhukka -- be-do-have?
  • --  keep it fun, keep it light, no sacred cows  (Mike Meyers must have had a blast making those movies)
  • feeling the "must create / must not create"  -- it's funny how it all boils down to life and postulates
  • putting a "must create" identity out there and giving it all it's got" and at the same time detached from it.
  • No use of game strategies -- only power of postulate and pan-determined postulates. No hidden agenda
  • Posing the question, " what is the biggest and best effect I can create?"  
  • Yawns
  • Postulate the best
  • The "I must not create" postulate feels weaker or almost non-existent

"How does I must create a website seem to you now?"    Fine, except it is more like I must create a big effect on the internet, but I was too bashful to say and I had to run out some compulsion on it first.   It seems like I could make it a light and fun game.

"Create Something" - 6 Directions

I decided to create the color gray and felt good about it -- a little bit of conflict about it got resolved rather quickly.

Yesterday was talking with a fellow practicer and he kept insisting I follow my passion, follow my heart. Having no heart I could not really understand him, but then my head remembered some technical data that supported his assertions about the heart and passion and so I really let it all go and heart and head got together and agreed on the path to follow.   The path of a soul.

This practice is my "peanut" [reference to George Washington Carver who made the peanut important].
There were some tears of release -- good for me, bad for the ego.

Comparing practices with this fella (no one but me keeps a practice log) I am re-thinking my approach to the Repair of Importances.   This is so I can have more time for the crucial core practice.   The challenge is to coordinate and find a balance.   I can always change my mind.

The core practice is also crucial in helping me more quickly resolve a childhood incident that seems to have followed me up to now.

My partner and I enjoy the idea of building "tinyhouses" and so I had him happily creating a tinyhouse on one of his trailerbeds.  It was fun and did not last long at all.   I think it is because talking with that fellow practicer got me back in alignment with my goals.  Back to the original intended simplicity of the practices.

Hello, Jeremy, thank you for your contact information.   One can "Google" my name and get all kinds of stuff about me if one really wants to know what I've been up to that got me here.   Here and now is really what is important, and the past must be broken away from still.

If anyone wishes to connect with me my SKYPE ID is ATWTFG.   I'm giving this out because I really do not expect anyone wants to know me or my importances that much  :-))   I do need to know people / life better than I do now and so interactions inform me.  

If someone is a people collector, I might not be a good prospect for that....nose to the grindstone and all that ...don't take it as rejection, it's just that I've already played everyone's game -- everyone's, and there is no game promise that can entice me... and no one can help me break away from the past except me...and I have the tools for it, so the best thing anyone can do for me now is to grant me the space and time to get on with it.   I surely appreciate the atmosphere of this forum.

I do not use Facebook in a masterfully fashion and feel rather awkward and in an unknowingness about it, but one can see what I post there -- it is a public Facebook.   The hazards of dabbling in the games of "To Know and To Be Known".

1:41pm  "Create an Importance" - 6 Directions

               30,000 people buying my books


I'm beginning to merge or balance the viewpoints of a "Must be Known'er" with the viewpoints of a "Must Know'er" whereas historically, even though born wanting to know, life's adventures swung me heavily into the 'must be known' postulate -- very compulsive and it was not until I began to receive past life counseling and then getting into my current practices, including the theories about the spirit and the mind, that I began to work directly on the basic postulate sets of "To Know and To Be Known".

All of life's games -- no matter how serious or playful -- are played out within the mandated 4 legs of the "To Know" goal set.   It is this goal set and the incident of its first "receipt" as a being that shamans refer to as "The Great Wound".   

As helpful as it has been for me to know this intellectually and model its possibilities in my mind, I won't see the "1s" and "0s" of the "Matrix" without my own subjective Direct Looking.

30,000 people buying my books from a must-be-known postulate viewpoint:
  • a careless, casual disseminator, a seeder of planets, not a nurturer, merely a seeder
  • enjoying the effects that are created, all effects -- no sense of responsibility or follow-up
  • a writer who seeds planets and then moves on, happily humming along
  • just having fun putting it out there as many ways as I can create
  • no desire to know anyone in any great depth -- the postulate is they know this identity and the effects it creates upon them and my pay is the sensation I get from seeing them "wake up", light up, and the more the better  -- being willing to know this identity and the effects it creates upon them
  • to know me is a distraction and better they know the answer to their suffering - to their playing of a better, lighter game
  • yawning
  • a must-be-known'er walks a thin line between acceptance and rejection, admiration and despise
  • If they reject my books what will be my next step?
  • I will send them down the tubes where they want to go and write sensational trash, degrading them even further, inciting them to war and hatred and craven fear and lust.  They want a game, I will give them a game.  vengeance gives some good sensations too.
  • 2 million will buy and I will sit on a high hill in a mansion meditating on how next to inflict them
  • Now I know the joy Scrooge got from inflicting his workers and how he justified it to himself
  • I'm seeing past existences where I did that very thing and contributed to creating degraded societies that I eventually became the effect of, reading my own stories until neurotic with fear, forgetting that I was the creator.  Now the creation, the effect -- of my own stories, ha!   The joke is on me now.  Like an actor who gets lost in the character. 
  • "Do not do anything to others you yourself would not be willing to experience"
  • How do I pull myself out of my own stories?
  • I must learn the art of complementary postulates, the sacredness of life irregardless of its goals, whether it chooses to know me or not know me.
  • I must examine each day as it passes, checking for habitual responses to life and its postulates, its games.
  • I must examine my deep past to source these non-life decisions until I finally resolve within myself any protest or disagreement.
  • "If they reject you what will be your next step?"
  • I will seek to get wise about "others" and know them as well as I know myself, as if they were me
  • The next set of books will be respectful of life and its postulates
  • hmmm, I can see it, very different, very interesting, very interactive with life and its postulates -- with the rejecting must-not-knowers, and the over-inquisitive must-knowers, and the secretive must-not-be-known'ers, and the jealous must-be-known'ers
  • I can never again take an overly one-sided, simplistic attitude towards life and its goal sets
  • When you decide to voluntarily (not compulsively) engage with life and its game plans you immediately enter into complexity, duality, abberration into non-life goals
  • In order to play a big game in the ocean one would need to know all the lifeforms and what are the basic postulates that govern them, wherein which they seek their fullest expression.  Then one could sagely decide upon their niche, their beingness, and play well, knowing it's always just a game of life, life eternally playing games.  Always respect your fellow players -- keep everyone playing well and having fun in the game.  The quality of the game is determined by the quality of the players and having a high quality game, and many of them is more important than winning or losing
  • Having the ability to not play a game is crucial to being a good games player -- withdraw and debrief.
  • Game getting too serious, not fun?  Pull out.   No games condition.
  • Never again the compulsion for vengeance

7:15pm  "Have Another Create Something"

               RC building arbor panels

It was good "havingness" (love that word) watching my partner saw and route and piece together the first arbor panel.   I'm going to do a bit of Direct Looking at today's events.  Eyes open for comparison.

yawning, big yawning
I realize this will develop recall ability
spotting non-optimum attitudes
it does take some effort to recall and it feels like work, but I'm encouraged by the yawns -- telling me I should be doing more of this
thoughts, feelings and emotions revived
see the point I purposely went into a "must know" -- to experience what it would feel like
some mild humor
this is quite therapeutic and I am more determined to do it everyday
Direct Looking is oriented towards removing negatives while Repair of Importance is enhancement of abilities, restoration of native abilities
cannot recall actual words too well
sensations coming up related to inflicting / rejection; I focus in and increase the intensity of the sensation
In the old days a powerful spirit could go in and out of bodies easily and easier to give up a body in a game
thoughts, emotions and feelings that I suppressed now forced to view and experience fully
Okay, feel real good now and glad I explored those suppressed feelings.

Direct Looking went well and I'm convinced I need to do this daily.   It shows up things that occurred during the day that I might have missed -- cravings for sensation, uncomfortableness, not-there-ness.

Later partner gave me a session to help me find out what was causing some lifelong sadness.   We suspected a childhood incident and started there and it morphed into an incident before my death last lifetime, which contained similarities, especially the striking contrast of ecstasy rapidly followed by agony and then death.  I got a better insight into how I was being and after defusing the pain and shame I actually saw many times during that life when life was good and I was happy.  I was able to look at and 'fess up to things I had done to others.  This was also a major turning point for me to decide to give up these games and seek spiritual enlightenment.

Completed the evening with Repair of Importance.

26Oct14    Repair of Importance :

Still enjoying the release of thoughts, feelings and emotions from last night's session, and seeing the postulates I made under duress or shock, even ecstasy.   It all means nothing to me now except that I am glad I am here doing this practice which I have surety will take me to nirvana.

It is quite different to have someone else work with you and expand your viewpoints or cure a trauma and quite another to do the work solo....why I have so much admiration for the group of dedicated meditators.
I have never before felt this much passion for a work or activity -- and the fun factor is very high too. The fun of discovery.

10:43   "Create Something" - 6 Directions

This morning an image flashed in my mind of a beautifully dyed and draped soft ribbed knit and my response to the beauty of it surprised me.   I would like to create that because I noticed I had a disappointment that the image disappeared and I felt I could not get it back -- felt a lack.   Let's see if this exercise cures that.
  • I see it as a sweater -- quite beautiful in my mind
  • yawning as I notice my entrancement
  • I feel like I can't have it unless it has a practical use, then I feel like it does not need a function
  • Awareness of beauty and baseness -- within myself - my mind
  • the uglinesses of the cravings that are my dhukka tether me
  • To Create and its inverse, To Destroy, both provide "desirable" sensations and both need a "reason why", thus life develops a "story" to tell others and then to tell itself
  • All of my incidents from the past are just a story -- a "reason why"
  • Curious, desired, postulated, reasoned why, in that sequence
  • could I allow myself to have it without all the significances?
  • I'm creating it over and over again and putting it all around me
  • get a feeling I'm breaking a rule - "not supposed to do that"
  • why should I ever want for anything, or feel lack, when I can create anything I desire?
  • this creating way is better than actually having it in physical particles
  • why do I need it physically (particles) when I can simply sit here and create it whenever I please?
  • --  to show others so they can enjoy it too:  "What are you doing?" ... "I'm creating something" ... "Oh"
  • I get the feeling I could spend all day just playing with this creation -- reminds me of childhood  -- if others would simply leave me alone ... but then I got interested in Johnny's creation - and Mary's, etc., and we started playing a fun game of sharing creations - exploring each other's creations -- fun surprises
  • and so went the universe ...   create it and put it all around me once again
  • better to be wise first about playing games than to play games unwisely
  • Anything that has been brought into existence in this universe to be known I can create on my own - in my own universe - even without a body I can touch it and feel the texture, etc.  I can make it my universe if I wish.
  • I can also take universe particles and create things from them to manifest in this universe
  • On an even higher level I can simply manifest a creation (without any smoke or mirrors or technology)
  • These are my creative potentials as a being
  • I get the idea I have done all this before and it somehow led to a forlorn-ness, loss, and when I create in this fashion I fear loss of some sort
  • when I look around the room everything appears ugly compared to my creation - not as light
  • I wish I did not need to pay so much attention to function in my creation
  • function is as much of a made up thing as simply creating
  • who told me I had to make my creation meaningful ... or this or that?
  • why can't I create simply becauses I like it?
  • why do I have to make up reasons why?   ("I need it so we can grow grapes on it...I need it for privacy")
  • I "need" it because I like knowing it around me
  • Okay, then why don't I just create it in my own universe and be content with that?   Aaarrrgh, there's the rub.
  • I'm starting to like this 3D physicality because now I can have all the beautiful things around me and I don't have to keep putting them there incessantly -- they just sit there and be there quite passively, and I can use this created body to experience them.
  • what would Walter Russell say about this?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h75BTk3oj4U
  • creating it and putting it all around me -- ah, so many questions, why so many questions?  To get wise.
  • a being has infinite potential to create -- is that really true?  I don't know, however simply knowing that I can create in this fashion brings me up
  • I can create something to know (experience its effects); I can create something to be known by (it experiences my effects); I can create something and not know it (reject it); I can create something and not be known by it (deprive it of my effects)
  • putting it all around me and feeling very good that I can create my own importances and in this fashion experience all the sensations: of creating, loving, admiring, enhancing, on down to even the most condensed sensation -- as I please.  
  • I can know it, have it know me, not know it, have it not know me   and   as long as it is "not me" I can use all four of these postulates to create up to 16 different two-way interactions.

27Oct14   Direct Looking :

As I typed those words I felt an exhilarant expectation: after the
session with my partner I see more clearly the importance of being
able to do this work solo.   Also, something else I realized --
we had already spent hours looking at the childhood incident and
still the shame and sadness were not resolving and in this session he
asked me if there were an earlier related incident while at the same
time I was beginning to see a last-lifetime incident shortly before
my death. Yes, it contained many of the components of the this-life
incident.

He wisely suggested we take a closer look at what happened there, and
that did resolve things in my mind, just as I am noticing how my
Direct Looking at the day's events resolves daily issues for me.  
I have great tools to bring me to a peaceful and serene
condition, detached from body because my views expand beyond the
body, as if I were exterior to the body.  Ever since late last
life I have been searching for a way to make this a permanent and
stable condition.

The mind holds much memory and whatever is "subconscious" is
what we do not wish to know -- a way to avoid knowing about myself
and others -- about life and postulates. We create blackness. All
practices that encourage us to subjectively view what is occurring
within the mind/body -- and life's interactions with the mind -- are
useful.

Yesterday's events: Direct Looking
  • tension leaves as I re-view yesterday's practice -- pleasure moments there
  • I feel no craving to have it in 3D because I can create it anytime I please
  • I realize my craving for a cat can also be mollified this way -- just create a cat, silly
  • I can also create quite consciously and intelligently all kinds of interactions with cats
  • I can give my mind new models of interactions to work within, no longer needing to get sensation from non-life goals
  • yawning, while I re-view how pride and ego come in
  • I'm so glad for myself that I can stop playing with my mind in a way that has not been working for me
  • a sense of urgency to push forward, accelerate the practice
  • yawns when I compare the item from yesterday with a grocery bag -- "how
  • is it different?"   This breaks unconscious associations of past with present, i.e., "Timebreaking"
  • the BEAUTIFUL THING about beings who continue in their practice is that
  • whatever was non-complementary and foolish about them yesterday might
  • not be with them anymore today.   This cannot be said for those
  • who seek to satiate the mind with external distractions.
  • There is a type of geometrical progression, or an apparency of it.  
  • Perhaps it is more like a spiral of progression, moving from the
  • concentrated end of the spiral towards more and more expansion of the
  • viewpoint within the spiral until up and out - at the point where one
  • first came into the spiral.  Wide open spaces and seeing many
  • other possible spirals to explore -- seeing the games life gets up to
  • from a magnificent view.
  • If one simply saw life as bliss and joy one would not need to do a formal Repair of Importance.
  • (feel love for my partner)
  • I'm comparing the differences of yesterday when I was living my life
  • looking inward and then living my life looking outward, both a
  • different type of be-do-have with their own rewards, but more and
  • more complementary with each other.
  • I see how when I first attempted these practices I was very fussy towards my mind and felt my mind was the master -- that is beginning to turn
  • I am out of this game of good vs evil within my mind
  • I have to keep directing my mind back to simply yesterday -- stray memories pop in
  • I notice there is a resistance to doing detailed looking/comparison of differences; mind automatically checks for similarities so I need to restore the balance of similarities and differences by emphasizing differences.
  • a somatic when I actually put the item from the past right up against an object here and now -- some effort to do this 
  • seems to have something to do with assessment of relative importance, in this case - pleasure, the item from the past giving more pleasure than the object here and now
  • I'm dropping the item from the past and looking at the tree here and comparing leaves (never did that deliberately before)  
  • [note to self:  might be a good gradient into this exercise...first comparing objects in the here and now before moving on to bringing up objects from the past]
  • have positive attitude/expectations
  • realize I can mock up a memory and put it all around me or I can mock it up
  • here and now and put it all around me --  I'm a bit confused and need to understand this better -- some questions arise as to if there is really any difference?
  • I return to simply Direct Looking of yesterday's events -- no more meandering  :-)
  • Everything I re-view seems pleasurable, convivial
  • everything is basically either right angles (squares, etc.) or curves (circles,
  • spheres, etc.) and seems to be how the mind sees differences and
  • similarities re line and form
  • I see desire for attention - to be known
  • I see how forcing to be known can result in rejection and felt as postulate failure, giving cause for being known through infliction of various possibilities.  "That will know you to know me ... you won't forget that effect!"   This can have the
  • liability of turning a potential playmate into "you", wearing your postulate.
  • two must-be-known'ers playing together, hmmm .... depends on how
  • compulsive they are and their relative hierarchy in their conceived game; the one who is more willing to know the other will be the better player, creating more affinity
  • still re-viewing yesterday
  • looking at not wanting to know MH and her effects -- always talking about
  • herself and me needing to listen when I really want to do other things more interesting to me, but I'm trying hard to pretend to be interested because she is above me in the game we are playing -- the benefactress
  • are my affections false?  Hard to admit -- but yes, I see false affection or interest.   Feel more at ease when she is away
  • However, therapeutically -- to quiet a compulsion one simply goes complementary with it, so I am on the right track.   She wishes to be feted and acknowledged -- fete and acknowledge her and be sensitive to her consideration of postulate failure to be known.  
  • This is good practice for me about how to play with others.
  • It does not have to be 100% of the time -- the mind likes a little challenge.
  • return to direct looking - scenes from yesterday being brought up into the
  • present for re-view
  • yawns while running a comparison check -- some stuck energy from watching
  • the movie, "Looper"
  • Do I really want or need to be watching movies that create mental conflict? I can see there is a "want"
  • the importance of the scenes in the movie are bleeding out (do a good repair of importance afterward)

28Oct14  Direct Looking :

Am thoroughly enjoying studying Buddhism and the potential conditions of mankind through the reading of Dr. David Snyder's book, "The Complete Book of Buddha's Lists - Explained" in plain and logical language.

http://www.thedhamma.com/buddhaslists.pdf

Having come this far, practicing daily since early September, I am more sensitive to mental conflict and spot it sooner.   Last night, even in my sleep I was learning about not resisting either side of the conflict -- I saw an apricot tree with ripening apricots and the numerous wicked thorns.   I also saw how my nightly coughing fits for the past couple of weeks are borne of mental conflict.   The trick is to be willing to know the original decision regarding that conflict and then to decide to let go of another favorite way of being-doing-having. "How's that working for you now?"

I'm learning to value the peace and calmness of mind over the sensational gratification (I can feel it right now -- how "right" and "good" it feels).  Mental conflict is held in by the promise of sensational gratification.

In Duality there are the white hats and the black hats in life's hierarchy of play.   It feels that I was born on the black hat side and it has been a struggle to find that I am neither white hat nor black hat -- they both cycle into each other, switching sides so to speak, in a downward spiral, their pay being sensation, whether it be the sensation of loving, or it's inverse, of trapping; of creating or of destroying; of enhancing or of degrading.  To Enhance is eventually it's inverse, To Degrade, if one plays long enough and compulsively enough.   One arrives eventually on a planet like this where the only good game allowed is the game with one's own mind. A planet of mental cases fobbing themselves off as relatively "normal".  God love the conservative middle class.

That's a good thing, given we have practices on this planet to resolve the fixation with our own accumulated past agonies and ecstasies and the postulates we made.  In order to keep playing an old game, one has to keep it created in the here and now.  I find it interesting that one can do that unknowingly via that territory called "The Subconscious Mind".   The mind, as repository of everything we've experienced and postulated in this universe and for the continuation of this universe, does that for us, either in full holographic detail or behind some thick and heavy blacknesses of unconsciousness.

It is not that I need to know the whole story of my existence in this universe to achieve nirvana.  I only need to know what I am holding onto from the past as important, keeping it here and now to guide my interactions.   It is just that I am aware I made decisions during heights of pain, sorrow, or joy and filed away those decisions (both mine and the "other's") and they are still more or less active, subconsciously.  So the trick to nirvana is to intelligently and analytically re-employ the possible postulate combinations within the primal postulate set of "To Know" and thus clear out the mind of conflict.   All this practice I do now is preparation for that final clearing process.

Repair of Importance - 6 directions

"Create Something" -  An empty yard
  • the love of simple, uncluttered space
  • a simple, uncluttered life
  • an uncluttered mind
  • must hold onto vs must not hold onto -- repeating it produces yawns
  • fearful futures creates must hold onto, and burden of ownership creates must not hold onto
  • love of possessions is sensational entrapment, and fearful futures is another "reason why"
  • a future of lack needs to be created and mocked up -- keeps lack persisting
  • my love for freedom and beautiful spaces adorns me
  • willingness to know what is there and to assess it against current purposes
  • willingness to put things in logical order
  • a being abhores an empty space - "must have a game, a purpose"
  • took a break to unsubscribe from all my building and woodworking newsletters and websites -- too many games, even though I like this purpose, there are more important purposes right now
  • create simply for the joy of creating
  • create simply for the joy of creating
  • create simply for the joy of creating
  • neither to have nor to own nor to survive
  • what gives me joy?  What gives me the most sense of sovereignty?
  • the interesting thing about this is that no one can stop me from this sort of causal creating -- only my mind can drop in "musts and must-nots", considerations, fears, limitations, etc.  It does not matter the time of day, nor the weather, nor the proper equipment and skill, nor the permissions.  It does not enforce or prevent anyone else.  And, most importantly, all the sensations can still be had - can be created
  • I can make all the beings in my creations be playfully complementary - co-creating
  • First I be complementary with my own mind

Okay, gotta get to work -- to be continued

29Oct14  Direct Looking :

Am finding even when I cannot get interested in anything, I'm still doing my practice. I used to take refuge in other activities whenever I felt down and out.  As long as there is a mind it will be creating along its well worn path. This practice is aimed at putting creating back under my conscious control.

"Create Something" - 6 directions
As a contributory practice to the Core Practice of Direct Looking, quantity is more important than quality - because the mind is a "cheap date".  I have gone in another direction and been expanding the use of this practice which I've enjoyed very much in terms of insight gained, but leaves me little time for my core practice. I've enjoyed it as a standalone practice and no regrets about that but I am going to start reigning in the practice and use it solely as a contributory practice to Direct Looking.

My realization of the value of direct looking is increased, however I still fear it and that might be partly why I am making a bigger importance of the creative processes.   Also, because I have creative compulsions.

I should keep doing this exercise as dictated until I am willing to do the core practice.   I am going to stay with creating beautiful sceneries to walk in, just exactly what I would be doing in the astral  :-))

"If you could have anything you wanted around you, what would it be?"   might be another way to word it.

My friends and I creating enlightened kingdoms

happily switching roles -- king to maidservant, maidservant to king
letting it go and creating another one, and another one ....
happy simple spirits having a great time  ....  yawning
everyone knows the rules of games - no compulsions, willing to experience anything
ever so lightly holding a separate viewpoint, knowingly being unknowing
modelling all the possibilities of interactions and particles -- eternal bliss

"So, how does eternal bliss seem to you now?"    Great, doable

"Have Another Create Something" - 6 directions

RC creating his desires

valuable car parts on Ebay
constructive use of black matter
all accounts zeroed
floor covering placed
greenhouse
re-burn wood heaters

Okay, feel good about it all and life in general and willing to do Direct Looking

Direct Looking - yesterday
  • a not there feeling, foggy -- take it a step at a time: up the stairs, through the door, glass jar on table ....
  • I like that plate (put it all around me -- feels good - color, shape, form)
  • self-conscious about being curious
  • picking up emotions, tensions, thoughts
  • we all cause our own suffering
  • comparison check of plate with current environment objects -- looking for differences
  • so far feeling rather good about this
  • because particles, called dark matter, are everywhere anyone can create anything that they do not limit themselves to creating.  Otherwise, they might have a consideration that they are breaking the rules of the game to do that.   Once one can know particles, one can work with them skillfully.
  • Particles, like everything else, are the result of postulate conflict
  • When one's mind is no longer conflicted, one can bypass efforting with particles and simply "speak"
  • continue with direct looking of yesterday
  • feeling of must play a game I don't want to play -- quiet protest, displeasure
  • happy in my own universe
  • It is a lot of work to keep insisting one's viewpoint is correct -- feel groggy, tired, into apathy on own POV
  • See everyone efforting their POV -- acceptable as long as I'm not competing with my own POV
  • How free can one be when one has considerations for the body?   food, shelter, climate control, internet, etc.
  • a being in good shape prefers to pursue less condensed goals
  • hear talking but cannot make out the words
  • running ROI (Repair of Importance)  -- seeing all the people in my life coming up and passing by
  • All gone, now to get wise about life and postulates
  • "How does yesterday seem to you now?"    Like it is dragging into today, making me want to be alone and do my clearing work -- which isn't really such a bad thing.   It happens sometimes.   I love my clearing work and study.   The rest? well, the rest is all the past being brought into its conclusive now = karma.  It will feel better when I've made more progress with my clearing.
  • Okay, take another look at yesterday: self-blame and I get the energetics of blame and self blame as constantly spinning on opposing ends, and this creates some kind of friction. I see a figure 8 involved with this.  The mind keeps holding onto it and spinning it -- I see there is some satisfaction when doing that.  The more I look at it the more it changes.  It is as if life started with a fascination with line and form, then adding in motion and counter-motion and playing with these energy forms and then finally putting flesh to them.
  • Gosh, when I look at it from that viewpoint, nothing seems very important from a fleshly viewpoint.  We are all just "not-knowing" that we are playing with our preferred postulated energy patterns...held in by the mind.
  • I sense an addiction to certain motion/counter-motion -- okay, I'm ramping up the sensation I get from that instead of trying to not-know it.  yawns
  • a stuck scene - 6 directions: similar past scenes were stuck to it and the emotions associated with those past scenes felt.  Not being present, not playing wisely.  Self-blame turning into willingness to take responsibility.  Wow, should have done this sooner -- lots of yawns.
  • Now I'm taking an exterior viewpoint to the scene and I see myself also.  I was fighting my tiredness and tiredness won and it is accompanied by a nice sensation of withdrawing -- seeking myself first.  I had a choice of which pleasure to take -- or I thought I did.   Mind is bringing up all the times in my life I told someone something they did not wish to hear that got me into trouble.  Sometimes I forget it is a two-terminal universe.

Got up on the wrong side of the bed this a.m.  I did not do enough ROI (Repair of Importance) last night and I'm certainly feeling it now.  I need to stop doing this to myself, ouch.  Here goes ...

"Create Something" - 6 directions

A field of flowers
  • Oh, boy, this is tough -- mind feeling very destructive and I'm switching gears and giving it destructive images ... okay it's cooling down and I'm trying the field of flowers again ... okay that's better, but still a lot of mental chewing.
  • many past life events of conflict regarding biospheres, planets, suns, ugh, on and on and on -- the story never changes, just the costumes -- and seems to be no commercial breaks
  • appears the sun has some must-be-known dramatizations -- wish I could help it ease its suffering
  • I'm feeling the heat, then suddenly my viewpoint shifts to outside the universe and all is quiet and detached
  • I realize I can place my viewpoint outside that place of suffering or inside the condensed playing field of shame/blame, guilt/ridicule, vengeance, etc.  So, where should my viewpoint be then?
  • The answer is that I am doing this work to be able to place my viewpoint as all-that-is -- willing to experience anything, so my protest about "suffering" in this universe is exactly what sticks me here too
  • run again a field of flowers -- okay better, I'm walking through a field of flowers and putting it all around me
  • starting to yawn
  • decide to take the lotus flower and do 6-directions with it -- more yawns, yawns getting huger and more frequent.   This is good, I like it, mind quieting more, but what a slug.  Am I really doing this exercise the best way possible?  How will I ever get time for the core practice?  At first this was quite therapeutic and revealing about many things I've had my attention (read importance) on, but now it's just slightly different angles of looking at the same things over and over again and I don't feel I need those insights now as much as I feel I need to get on with the core practice, which is the culmination of lifetimes of wins and loses


... Interruption ... oops, gotta go for now.   I'm determined to do my work more efficiently and better follow the instructions I was given.

Going into the future where there is no suffering.  Or going out of the realms where there is no suffering.  
This is the Luminous.  It is a place upon which to concentrate.  At first, one may concentrate upon this point every time one needs.

Eventually, it is the only place there is.

Yes.  You are doing it right!

Sequestered my partner and he demonstrated his way of doing the ROI (Repair of Importance) exercise. Firstly, he uses the command "Bring Something into Existence".

Secondly, he puts it around him in the sense of permeation -- being it -- and that quickly satiates the mind.

Thirdly, this is more productive towards re-learning pan-determinism: being the other and changing your mind

"Bringing Something into Existence" is exactly what one does from the state of Nirvana and is not tied in with other creations.   "To Create" is a postulated goal of the mind, after the being decided "To Know".

Anything I bring into existence has an innate importance but it does not have to be tied to prior importances. Just as "desire" does not have to be tied to "craving". The desire came before the craving and the importances came before the decision to have fixed/compulsive importances.

If I 'bring something into existence' I am not prefacing it with importance. Generally importances are coming from the mind and not from me as a being, so when I tie into importances of the mind then I am going to be dealing with the connected importances that it restimulates. Truly, when I 'bring something into existence' that is the closest to Native State, when no prior importances were necessarily existing, so there is no connection to other importances with prior existence, so the creation is itself – it stands alone, and that way I don't get the stream of past importances connected to it.

As Solomon said, "there is nothing new under the sun" -- everything was already brought into existence before it ever manifested itself -- or got created -- here.

Bringing something into existence does the job, so I can get on with the core practice. It does not necessarily have to be “important”, mind-wise. Natively, what I brought into existence did not necessarily exist as a prior thought. Even if it did, there was little or no persistence, and thus the "To Know" matrix was formulated with the exact purpose of adding persistence.

On the other hand, if I create an importance, say the roof needs fixing, I get to visualize and model solutions to that importance (while clearing out my whole pertinent history of wins and loses re roofs, etc.), and eventually the importance leaves because the fixedness of that importance is resolved – and I want to get busy correctly fixing the roof. That is a type of insight meditation rather than a filler for the loss of importances encountered doing the core practice. For time and scheduling sake, if I bring things into existence that are not a current life/mind importance I will be able to move more quickly into the core practice, serving that purpose, without getting lost in the mind's current importances and chewing on it.

"Bring something into existence" may not be real to someone who is impinged upon by current importances of the mind. Because they are already overwhelmed with importances, what is it they are going to be able to look at except what they are already overwhelmed with?  This may have been my case, however I see I can bring things into existence just as my partner does and I see it is preferred, if one has that choice.

I consider this a milestone in course correction. From now, the 6-directions technique will be used only to unstick a stuck scene during my core practice.  "Putting it all around me 360degrees" implies permeation.

31Oct14  Repair of Importance & Direct Looking :

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360degrees
  • A spider -- get the sense that from where I am located I am growing the spider, being it and growing it from the center outwards; great feeling of motion potential and potentials for interactions (games); it can have a "spider program"
  • A bologna sandwich with mayonnaise, mustard, lettuce, tomato -- it feeds me in a spirit sense
  • A chocolate covered cherry -- ha, ticklish
  • A somatic/effort turned on - persisting through it, laughing, yawning, thought of "what a new discovery" - delight
  • it does not have to be totally holographic, but that does help.  Quantity more important than quality.
  • A bottle of water -- interesting
  • A soda cracker -- I am the soda cracker universe
  • A postcard -- I like to have frilly edges, exciting feeling of going places  (I am the postcard)
  • Unlimited potential is my core understanding of myself and ultimately I bring things into existence as patterns of available energy structured by consideration of the idea of such.  And, with mind, it gets called a soda cracker.
  • The more I look at something the more it disappears - my attention goes off it and perhaps that is a cue to do the Core Practice
  • I have some stuck attention on the soda cracker and I'm doing 6-directions to unstick it -- yawns, scenes from the past -- okay now easier to simply bring it into existence once the charge/importance from the past gets viewed and dissipated.  Now a soda cracker can simply be a soda cracker.
So, from this experience, I think that if something is difficult to bring into existence or feels like something is attached to it, then 6-directions will suffice.   The soda cracker importance went back to my mom eating them when she was pregnant with me and feeling queasy and I attached to the object of her affinity -- no stuck scenes.  But when I brought the soda cracker into existence I noticed I had a lot of attention of just being inside of it vs being it, thus I did the 6-directions to get unstuck from that particular viewpoint.  Just more fun  :-))

Except for the care of my children there has been nothing this lifetime that has caught my interest as passionately and determinedly as this practice.  Even through the mental resistances.

I have been getting educated on Buddhism and the correct translations reading "BuddahsLists" and my question was answered, or is going to be answered, concerning his treatment of goals, which seems to translate as "expectations" or "demands" ("postulare" - to demand).  I am also pleased to see the original languages made distinction between desire and thirst or craving.

I have once again been brought back to the simplicity of the repair-of-importance exercise, which is a governor for the core practice of direct looking.   Direct looking can be intensely depleting, and mastering the Repair exercise is crucial to long term success.  I feel like my life is starting anew -- again.

Basically I have been instructed to not put any additives to the repair exercise: it is simply to bring something into existence (not from the past, but in the now, right now), and if the mind does move to keep doing the exercise until no more movement or change occurs.   Minds were created to provide one with plenty of complications and problems and it is never short of them, so the repair exercise must be used to fill in before the mind adds further distractions. If the mind were like a bowl of water the "repair" is simply adding in fresh water.

A suggestion given to me is to bring something into existence, and to make sure it is not from the memory banks, change it up a little -- for example add colored dots to it, or something to make it not the usual.

"Bring Something Into Existence"
  • doorknob -- okay, yawns and mental movement, and I'm instructed to not go digging into it for insight, but to simply keep bringing a doorknob into existence in a new unit of time each time -- until no more change.
  • Feel resistance to putting it all around me and I call that "change" so keep going; now it feels ticklish, yawns.
  • a sense of victory "Did you bring this doorknob into existence?" "Yes, I did" "Good, continue."
  • "Who is bringing this doorknob into existence?  I am."
  • The action of putting it all around me spherical brings on a somatic.  I count that as "change".
  • I'm starting to realize that doing the exercise this way puts more attention on the act of creating than on the object itself -- it is restoring to me the ability to create without a lot of mental flak (I must/I must not create).
  • If I am willing to tough it out.
  • huge yawns and I'm starting to feel a sense of relief, release accompanied by grief for what is now leaving.
  • how much pain and suffering I have unnecessarily caused myself and a budding sense of freedom
  • A creator is a sovereign being relatively speaking
  • Quantity is more important than quality so I roughly image a doorknob and intend it all around me 360spherical -- until no more change
  • I feel some effort to put it around me spherically -- like the effort I might feel if I tried to see the back of my head
  • If one has hangups about the subject of being creative then this is going to be tough.
  • -- writer's block, creative stagnation, craving admiration
  • When I put it around me spherical, I feel very still, very located relative to the creation; I feel like I'm sitting inside of it 
  • "Don't make it complicated - simply intend it all around you spherical"
  • This exercise works best when one is quite analytical and matter-of-fact about it -- as we once were regards bringing things into existence
  • The spherical expansion can be more or less - as long as it is around you
  • "you", whatever you consider to be "you"; if that includes your body, then around your body too
  • I'm finding I have a consideration about solids, and if I bring it into existence as a wispy holograph it is easier to put around me.
  • Ah, yes, that feels better - making it very wispy
  • No more change

Make this one easier -- a balloon
I don't know how important it is to do it exactly the way instructed, but I do consider it very important that I be able to duplicate and follow directions
This exercise, I see also handles the hesitancy or uncertainty of what to bring into existence
Some people are so stymied that they cannot do this exercise and expect any results or improvement

This exercise is easier to do when I drop the consideration of having a body.
I can simply put it around my awareness
I can make it easier on myself and put a universe around me because I do often have a consideration that there is a universe around me... or my house.. or my room
End of Sit

Today when shopping I was super aware of a man walking past me and I put my intention to be him and I got into his beingness and while experiencing him in that way I, being him, changed my mind a slight degree and started to consciously notice my state of mind.    I, as him, felt like I was an accident waiting to happen -- waiting for the other shoe to drop - and I knew I needed to make a change.   I find this is easier to do when I can somehow relate to the person's mode of suffering.

Just ended a two-hours phonecon laying out plans for a new business and answering questions, postulating happiness for everyone -- how that could best be achieved within the parameters of the game.   "Life is hierarchical" is a concept I would like to explore.   This is the first business venture where I am concious of and am working to eliminate compulsions, and I can see how a business can be conducted with wisdom and caring and not on a basis of exploitation for the sake of gain -- at least within this realm of reality.   However, the energies generated are coming with me into this sit.

The wonderful thing about this new me is that I know when I am acting on compulsion if and when I put off my routine sitting.  So a manic compulsion will not get very far with this new me.


"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical
  • a room around me -- yawns, stress coming off, nice, I like it, some outbursts of laughter
  • playing an exploitive game will keep me from wanting to know the full truth about myself and others
  • no trip-over furniture, lots of empty space, not too big
  • the first person I do not wish to B.S. is myself
  • comfortable for working the internet -- big screen, speakers, feng shui
  • Okay, I'm not supposed to get into all this stuff -- just put it around me and keep doing that until no more change
  • is great "havingness"
  • no more change
  • colors around me -- feels good, white feels like I'm being white; yellow feels like sunshine; green feels like chilling out; blue - some somatics, okay, fine
  • No change

"Have Someone Else Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical
  • RC, a room  --  very tempting to simply be him and and what he wants and put that around me
  • very tempting to do a be-do-have on RC and simply put it around me spherical -- I quite enjoy this too
  • I have RC create a room and then I put that room around me (it amazes me how complicated I can make this -- and to think I used to do this as second nature ...)
  • this can lead to telepathy

Partner says:  "your current reality is other's creations all around you. May as well start enjoying it, and this excercise brings you to just that, as part of its other uses"

Okay, let's see if it is now safe to do some rudimentary Direct Looking (drum rolls)

Direct Looking - Yesterday
  • when I am really happy I don't want to go and look at times when I was really not-happy, but that is actually the best time to go and process through those moments
  • what is the ultimate con that the mind can play on one?
  • it is becoming easier for me to make confessions -- when it seems needful to clear the air, do a re-set
doing ROI
  • -- some yawns - keep doing until no more change
  • even though I am experiencing changes in somatics, emotions, thoughts, and scenes, I am not recording them as an importance and merely experiencing them and then continuing to put the creation around me
  • if I write it or record it I am saying it is an importance and the purpose of the exercise shifts
  • the "importance" of this exercise is my putting a creation all around me until no more change - whether it is my creation or someone else's
  • this particular creation is sticky -- keep going
  • (I keep typing "importances" and then deleting them -- "no longer important")
  • I find this "other's" creation disturbing -- should I stay present with it?   Or should I simply keep putting it around me?
  • I am glad I am resolving this
  • when I view it simply as the other's creation I feel more detached from it even when it is all around me -- it is not mine, it is the other's
  • I am bringing into existence s'one else's creation and it seems okay now, whereas before it disturbed me, so there was some sort of attitude shift, even though I am still putting it around me the same as before.  It is as if I understand that putting someone's creation around me does not mean that I have to have it or own it or know it -- I can but I don't have to.  I can be in it without being overwhelmed by it.  To expand that idea, I can be in this universe without being overwhelmed by it.  That lightens things up.
  • Now I am putting a room around me and I feel my creation is contaminated by contact with the other's creation -- the room is not as spacious as it was before and this disturbs me ... continue to put it around me
  • now I got it back to being the same room but I'm no longer happy with it -- what happened?
  • it's lost its glamour ... continue ... this is a nice room when I want to be alone and meditate but not when I want some company -- to be with a person or people
  • I bring another room into existence to suit my current mood and put it around me
  • I have another create a room and put it around me
  • I'm seeing a common attitude of mine and realizing I don't need it

Back to Direct Looking - yesterday
  • spot a moment where I ridged on something being said -- yawns , then this thought that I can control my attitudes -- yawns -- I don't have to take it personally. I can learn from what is being said.
  • if I continue this practice everyday I will clear out that "beastie" because I will look for it everyday and resolve it each time I spot it.   This goes beyond simply accepting my thoughts to simply erasing my thoughts - vanished.
  • And I can see how that will lead to eternal bliss, nirvana.
  • continue ... sometimes one's posessions can get so messy and disorganized and confusing that I refuse to handle it, am loathe to begin, and I am taking the energy out of it by spotting that attitude from yesterday. Feel better about getting to work organizing.-- yawns
  • This episode of Direct Looking took me far down into the past where I saw that other beings were engaged with the job of the wholesale overwhelming of new beings with a catalog of estabished creations, and thus these newly formed beings never had a chance to create anything.   When I bring something into existence it is already an "other's" creation, except that I am creating it again in a new time and place.   That I can still do -- am allowed to do.  Am I willing to experience that with detachment?  Ultimately, it was my creation.

[Note:  Even if one is very dense and stupid or literal, this resolves through consistent, repeated number of times over a subject with the intention to duplicate. Real understanding comes from doing it.]

"Bring Something into Existence" - spherical
I start by asking myself what is my desire right now? (desire, then postulate)
I'm ignoring the urge to make lists of things to do
yawns, as I'm creating my room perfectly organized and putting it around me
ha! is my life really so important?   Only so far as my practice and who/what supports it
makes me want to get up right now and get to work on it whereas before I was befuddled
Have Someone Else Bring Something into Existence - around me
RC's office space
no change
End of Sit

A funny story (for entertainment purposes only):   When the playing field was astral a spirit pretended it was a tiger and, as Tiger, it was fascinated by a group of spirits mocking themselves up as silver dancing bugs.   As the tiger spirit readied to pounce (as tigers must do) another spirit swiftly arose from nowhere and provoked the tiger spirit to a chase.  Just as the tiger spirit caught up to the being, the amorphous being transformed itself into a huge clown with a button-down white shirt and a very large top hat.   The tiger spirit thoroughly enjoyed the surprise of this image, and while it stilled itself to contemplate what it felt was a playful gesture, the being promptly placed the top hat over the tiger spirit, trapping it.  Because it felt it was the protector of the silver dancing creatures, it did not like the non-complementary game of the tiger spirit and wanted to teach it a lesson and keep it from disturbing the little creatures.  Of course the tiger spirit only learned to avoid top hats, and that top hats make good attractors to trap others.   Today I know this Top Hat quite well and he is today a broken being -- no longer able to play fun games, unable to protect all the helpless creatures, stuck in past loses. I contemplate his return to comedic genius -- and beyond.

3Nov14  Toward Vanishing the Mind :

Now that I've fully duplicated the intention behind the instructs for doing the Repair of Importance exercises, I'm starting to see that there is another instruct I did not fully duplicate and complete, which will mean taking a step backward from my current Direct Looking exercise to simply comparing objects and people from the past with other objects and people.  This may be more necessary prep work than I was willing to accept, and I admit I did glib through it, eager to get on with the main work of direct looking.   On the other hand, it may be already fulfilled.  I've decided to drop back a level and devote to doing comparisons without digging into the incident.

"Bring Something into Existence"
me doing the incomplete level
this is bucking a trend to allow the mind to create my futures
the mind can project futures and so can I
yawns, laughter at the silliness -- I can consciously and analytically project futures, breaking the command power of the mind to automatically use the past to create futures
more yawns,

I have come a long way from where I was when I started and still have a long way to go, even taking some steps backwards.  Yesterday, after my sit, I was walking around with the distillation of "perfect" -- holding it there for everything and everyone I encountered, and I kept this up for hours and then noticed I could no longer hold it there.

"Bring Something Into Existence" - 360 spherical
a) for self: A room
yawns, bad mood starting to lighten and I believe that is because I'm moody when my postulates are not working, and when doing this exercise my postulates are working - I'm postulating things into existence
"Postulates working" is of course great havingness, and possibly if I did this before going to sleep I would not wake up growly.
everytime I do this exercise this way I keep getting this mini-realization, "I can have what I want" -- it seems to resolve feelings of lack and "can't" (limiting postulates).
a realization of a lot of suppressed desires
flat
b) for another: a room
some things are more difficult for me to postulate because of my current realities and considerations so I stick with what I can postulate for another
a) for self:  5000 subscriptions
b) for another

Okay, gotta get to work and I ended this sit with the increasing realization that "I can bring things into existence" and experience them.

Taking a short break from work.  I'm feeling as Helen Keller did the first time she learned to spell water and I can hardly keep up with all the stream of unfulfilled postulates.  I opened a door and feel a  bit swamped -- it's as if my mind is competing with me: "yes I can" vs "no you can't".   Perhaps my creations are out-gradient and I should stay with more mundane creations - stir the mind up less, and, yes, I am in love with this new regained ability.

a) self - once the realization hits that I can create anything I want, it's a whole new ballgame
             a feeling of thankfulness that someone thought enough of me to ask me to do this exercise
             of course, nothing I bring into existence would not have already had its similitude in the history
             of this universe, however it is being created anew in the present and in this location.
             Each fan that comes off the assembly line in China is its own separate creation
I kept bringing electric fans into existence until I stopped yawning and it felt okay to do that, however at first I felt stalled and so I forced myself to yawn and that released the tension.    Flat for now.

End of break.

5Nov14 Toward Vanishing the Mind :
Sometimes things seem so overwhelming that I lose faith in myself - in my ability to put out a different existence.  Fears and pessimisms get challenged by starting this practice in this new fashion.  This particular exercise alone takes me a long way from identification with the mind's creations.  It separates me out, and that is always for me initia lly a bit disconcerting/disorienting.   All these millenia letting the automaticity of the mind (a self-created entity) save me the work of having to think for myself has fed my lazy bones -- and suddenly I'm putting a grinding halt to it?!? - oi vay!

A no-brainer way to do this exercise is to see what my mind is feeding me and take it in a different direction. In general if my mind projects imperfection based on past performances I can bring perfection into existence.  Conversely, if my mind projects aggrandizement I can bring into existence more balance and lovingkindness.  If my mind projects lack I can bring into existence whatever is needed and desired.  The bottom line is that I can now move towards being more analytical and logical about life and the games I choose to play.  It will build up to a point where my "word" is senior to any current reality of mind, and I suppose that would take one into the Causal, the "Thought Universe".

  • I can "out-create" current realities.  I don't have to resonate within current realities.  I'm putting out and all around me a higher resonance, higher thoughts and I can hold them there until the mind breaks down.
  • "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Heb 11:1)   Who creates that "evidence"?   I do.  I am working out my own "salvation".
  • All of creation is a bit of all of us.h
  • Life is senior to postulates, of senior importance
  • This is a hot topic and will need to be continued.   A lot of "stuff" keeps coming up as I hold the scene around me.  I began at 7:30am and am ending off at 11:40am.  Will return to finish.

6Nov14 Toward Vanishing the Mind
Even though this universe is life and postulates, Life can postulate "no game" and I believe this is another way to describe nirvana. Mind extra noisy since I started doing this exercise correctly. I have stepped off the playing field, this complicated hierarchy concerning the planet, and I feel very alone while everyone around me enjoys and/or suffers through their roles in life. I'm not fooling myself -- I still play a self-appointed, unacknowledged role and that contributes to my motivation to continue this "way".
Call it an internship, apprenticing myself to a Master.

a) self - a happy home
  • as soon as I begin the mind wants to, as usual, solve this as a "problem" and the poor thing is nothing but conflicting postulates and wrong targets (enemies), however I, as a being, can simply speak and "it is" -- a new game of life without solutions that lie within the mental band of force.   Now to get the mind quiet ...
  • Just because my creation does not have 3D solidity does not make it any less real -- tell that to my mind :-)
  • yawns
  • - the trick is to keep doing this as "me" and not identifying with the mind's contributions and digging into the mind's storehouse of "happy/unhappy homes", and the mind's
  • compulsive create turning on.
  • who is "the governor"?
  • The mind is ambitious for many things and collects many things, speaks loudly of many things, but the being lacks resolve to follow through
  • - this needs to be re-envisioned
  • one might say that creating one's realities this way is delusional, but the more I do this the more I'm seeing my current delusions about current realities
  • I find it interesting that I have gained much knowledge about the mind and the being -- or have I?  
  • The mind can co-opt just about anything -- as an ego-builder
  • My subjective knowingness is weak, but growing
  • as I do this exercise desires and aversions and uncertainties, etc. come up and then wane as I continue, until the object or scene is quite detached from all that
  • yawns, and going through the laughter band
  • this exercise informs me that I do not have to put out effort of speech to convince another - my effort is re-directed toward convincing myself that I can change for the better
  • I am learning the beauty of quietness and presence
  • Okay, I think this is flat -- hard to tell for sure

b) another - envision a nice scenario for RC, my twin in the sky   
this is moving more smoothly - more quantity and faster, less human emotion and reaction
Okay, have to get to work....    things went better today than yesterday.

a) self

b) another


I recall a lifetime (1700's) where I last showed musical ability and around the age of 50 I dropped dead while conducting a boy's choir.  I was quite embarrassed.  The interesting thing is that the name my parents gave me in that life -- I always hated that name and would ask myself what kind of parents would name their child that?   My birth name was very similar to the name this life, "cailin".  Even though I have degraded myself through
the non-stop playing of games, ever reducing myself to where I am now afraid of my own shadow, figuratively speaking, I am thankful for this enforced rest stop and that I have a logically proven way to nirvana.  "Nervy-ana", ha  :-))

You know who is a holy person to me?   The person who has arrived at the 4th noble truth and has great certainty in his practice to nibbana and sits consistently daily and takes over what he has been allowing his mind to do -- that is to me a holy person.  I cherish that person and grow silent in the presence of that person.  I will name a name -- Richard -- for example, with his insight practice.

Have been lately waking up in bad mood and this a.m. I saw that I had a choice and I chose to be thankful and I even forced a laugh, however sardonic that may have been, lol.  Laughing at my foibles of the mind is always the best laugh.  The beautiful thing about consistency of practice is that I start to become more aware of who I really am aside from my thoughts, emotions, feelings, and even my past (that's a biggie).  I do have a target date of end of year to be complete with breaking away from the past and then going on to the next level, which will take me out of the force band - forcing things.  However, I'm not "lusting for results", simply enjoying the results of each sit, each day.   "Enter positive, remain passive."



"Bring Something Into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) self  - gee, should I torture myself again and RI a happy home?  Oh, why not, beat yourself up, girl.  :-)
instead of listing each thing, I'm going to make "tick" marks for each thing I place around me
************************************
  • I realize I don't have to make a commitment to anything I bring into existence -- it's not serious, it is simply one of life's options, and Life has options, depending on the games it wishes to play. Or perhaps it is simply a sweet scene, one that pleases me, from some past pleasure moments and re-created anew, instead of striving for past pleasure moments.
  • Because I find that as I bring it anew into existence each time, the wanting/lacking dies off.
  • Scarcity determines the consideration of value and beauty.  I can determine the scarcity when I choose to bring into existence one or many.
  • "Value is monitored by the consideration of beauty, and is increased by scarcity. But as both the effect and the consideration of value or
  • beauty are generated by life, then life has a senior value to all things. (Civilizations invariably decline when this truth is lost.)"  ...Dennis H. Stephens
  • I see no beauty nor scarcity of mind
  • I'm becoming more aware of "my" impatience and arrogance - yawns
  • inflicting people with the "truth" about themselves as a form of "not-know" rejection
  • Life is of senior value to "truth" ??
  • It is hard for me to hold onto the timeless value of life
  • I see the timeless value of life, therefore no need for impatience or frustration or striving towards people (life with a physical body thing)
  • laughing at the release, and at the same time crying for the loss of one of my favorite ways of being
  • I don't have to play The Priest anymore - I'm just another lifeform resolving its mentations
  • From this viewpoint, why, I can be complementary with anyone
  • I can know them, I can not know them, I can be known by them, I can not be known by them
Looks like this segment is done ...

b) another - *************************  
  • I am so happy for my partner and his successes
  • life is a dream after Level 3
  • His advices are valuable to me
  • observe their inner conflicts and envision their return
  • complementary postulates enhance life
  • he taught me not to move from my spot and to be present in silence
  • he taught me to contemplate the highest for everyone
Okay, I think I'm done here ...

a) self - *************************
getting more comfortable with this exercise -- better


b) another - **************************
Done.   Yay!  Very happy compared to when I started
It is now 11:30 and I'm going to prepare for work and tomorrow I will make even more progress.

Level 2 - Compare Differences and Similarities

Commands:
a) Select a non-significant past scene. (Masochists can select a significant one.)
b) Select an object from this scene.
c) Find an object in Present Time (one you can see with your eyes) that is different from the past object.
d) How is it different?
Repeat c) and d) (It's permissible to use the same Present Time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change;
then
e) Find an object in Present Time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar?
Repeat e) and f) until no more change, then
repeat c) and d). Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f)
produce no more change.
g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one. 
Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.
Continue the exercise, using more and more significant past objects, until no
more change occurs with any past object you care to select. Now do
the exercise with past persons. Select them one at a time, and
complete the exercise with each person. Continue until no more change
occurs with any past person you care to select.

"The timeless value of life", everything else being of "timed" value, including the reactive mind and all substance.  What is life's urge?  ("urgere" - to press, to force, to drive)  Perhaps it is an urge that turns in on oneself -- the age old question, "What am I?" tied in with "What is my potential?".   The urge to explore potential.  Endless surprises.   When I stop this ruminating and ask myself, "what am I?", it get this sense that I am everything -- even the thoughts of the mind.  I am those too, but not in the sense of fixed identification, but in a higher harmonic of truth.  Then, when I say, "bring something into existence" I get the feeling that, as regards substance, the playing field is cluttered up enough and my attention right now is on my wholeness, just as I am.   I get a sense of rousing myself, of movement, like a gentle swirl....It is the nature of this beautiful latent beast to remain a passive all-potential.

I cannot explain and can hardly describe the thrill I get as soon as I come into this sit.  Already something is falling away from me -- the forces of other importances -- and I feel I'm coming home after a long journey.  I am thankful for whatever and whomever prompted me to begin asking the questions that got me here, and thankful for the people currently in my life who support and encourage my temporary cessation of interactions for the sake of getting wise about all the things life can get up to, and for the sake of ending the games condition with my own mind.

I have consistently been putting concepts of perfection all around me and today I am amazed at how I now see that manifesting in things and happenings.

a) self - ********************
  • yawns, these are mostly envisionments of what I consider upgrades to my sitting space, and fruits, gardens
  • envisioning myself being blissful, which brings back great memories (= "change"); this envisionment turned on a lot of "change", mostly feeling the suffering through time of the loss of that bliss, as if it were something unrecoverable.   I like to think that it never left us, but as soon as I try to connect with it -- the clouds of sadness roll in -- the sadness of the unecessary-ness of lingering suffering.

And it is noon already -- take a break (to be continued)

Starting this new business venture stirred up wins and losses from the past and the heaviness of it -- well, I could have slugged through it until I felt better or I could wait and over time it would run its course, and even though I did some RI to the point where I could be more logical and objective I failed to totally handle it, I was not 100% willing to confront my case, and see what I was holding onto so hard, but it is dying down now and today's session should be more productive -- I'm positive it will be.

However, since I was 100% aware that it was interactions from the past that I was reacting to and not the present circumstance I became even more convinced that my happiness lies in non-reacting the past, thus the efficacy of my practices.


"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) self - ***********************
"tell me something that you could have" - 360 is a positive way to start this exercise
yawns, laughs, ended off with I could have some fun games in life and then leaving off, nothing permanent or heavy because it's just a game, and games are fun.

  • everybody is on a learning curve and it is okay to be patient and tolerant and supportive of their learning curve
  • this exercise is helping me set my highest attitude with regards to my new game
  • playing a game in and of itself is not bad, it only becomes detrimental when one plays too compulsively and it becomes too serious, fixed, and shame/blame/guilt/ridicule/force make it stressful for everyone.

b) another - ***************************
  • holding onto the past - either through suppression or expression -- can make life not fun anymore
  • holding onto moments when my children were happy can make it more painful for me to see them unhappy
  • not fixating on pleasure moments makes life smoother
  • we are going to play a new game now

Okay, it's only 10:18 a.m. and I finally get onto doing Level 2.  This is a good thing  :-)

Level 2: Compare Differences and Similarities
[Note to self: don't run this level until enough repair of importance is done and you feel ready to run this level. Make sure very keyed-out/happy before attempting this.]

a) non-significant past scene: playing with Blondie. Object: yellow ball against present time object of a fan
"How is it different?"  
  • I can see the ball in my hand and put it right up next to the fan that is here now and do comparisons -- feels good (well, I guess one can move the pictures in their head around wherever and whenever they want).
  • The scenes in the mind are just scenes in the mind and have no command power over me and in fact, I have command power over them, being able to move them around and make comparisons - to that degree.
  • some yawns as I shift to other objects in the present environment
  • I notice sometimes the yellow ball seems more real than the now object
  • I notice when I first bring up the past scene with its object it is located in the now space and I at first tend to select a current object that is close to where it is located and then I select an object that is further away from where the past scene/object is located and that makes me have to move the past scene next to the now object.
  • More yawns when I move the past scene around like that.
  • I see a compulsion for experiencing that squishy feeling when I squeeze the ball; yawning
  • I see a fixed attraction for the color of the ball
  • A compulsion to want to feel how things feel when squeezed in the hand

Time compels me to stop here at a good point and run some RI (Repair of Importance) to replace what was lost during discharge.  I've too many times experienced the mental discomfort from failing to run appropriate amounts of RI.

  • the universal exchange of trash, haha

  • a surprise factor countered by degradation - okay, it's flat
  • I realized I like things that age nicely - get a nice patina on them
  • More sensation of the object is gotten by putting it all around me, for example, when I put a stuffed toy around me I could feel the inside stuffing too.  Permeation of the object can occur if I linger on it, but I try to keep moving along - quantity over quality
Okay, this is good.

Seem to constantly underestimate the amount of time and work it takes to seal off the mind once it has been opened up, which is what the Repair of Importance exercise is designed for. I decided that before I go to sleep I will do repair of importance until no more change.

This is silly, but yesterday I cheated on some mac 'n cheese for dinner and then I started creating all different recipes for mac 'n cheese and putting them all around me and was getting crazy yawns coming off. I don't think it had anything to do with the subject matter, and more to do with the fact that I was bringing something into existence and putting it all around me. "To Create" is for many quite restimulative and that act alone seems to blow a lot of charge and I guess I had accumulated mental tension during the day.  At least I'm hoping it wasn't the stupid mac 'n cheese.  Laughing at the whole thing right now.

This morning I went to work again on the mac 'n cheese and still yawns coming off. Have you ever had the type of yawn where you're stuck in the middle of a huge gaping jaw yawn and waiting for the energy to come up and leave so you can close your jaw again? That kind.

Tao te Ching says, "complicated minds require drastic measures". Yup.

I should do repeater tech on "I just want to be a good person", however the urge to operate off of life goals vs non-life goals is very strong, and I see the mind as operating off non-life goals and it interferes with life goals. There is probably a whole history stored in there of times when things started out well and then went south.

  • finally getting some yawns, feeling urges/compulsions, 
  • Okay, after all that work on mac 'n cheese I narrowed it down to mac 'n cheese with pimientos and I'm bringing it up en masse and putting it all around me and holding it there, and my mind gobbles it all up, like some kind of vacuum cleaner and then I have to put it back up again.
  • I have to not flinch at seeing this gross action - at seeing this "thing" in my mind.  Well, who put it there? Yup. It seemed like a good idea at the time  :-))
  • I guess that is how the mind repairs loss of havingness which results from removing sensation compulsions.
  • I always am hungry after a good session, so instead of eating I can do this

This depressing self-deprecation is starting to wear thin on me and is
more open for viewing now that I've peeled away some other layers
that were pressing for attention, such as the impatience of a sage or
priest and trying to fill that role.  Such a relief not to have to do that anymore.
However, have befriended a very upbeat person in my new venture
and she for sure will help me to keep my spirits from flagging.  And the
work I do here to relieve myself of the pressures of the past will finish the job.
Very thankful.

My session yesterday had fits and starts and attempted it twice but did
not get very far, although I did discover something interesting with
my Repair of Importance and will continue with that discovery, which
might make that exercise move along much faster.

  • Seeing that it is the mind and not me always causes laughter -- the joke is on me
  •  [Repeater tech: "I am so tired of this" - big yawns/discharge, and I self-enquire how this attitude served me. Get the sense this is entrenched over a long period of time. Alternating with putting mac 'n cheese around me which also produces yawns. It's a rejection of everything - a not want to know.  ]
  • Okay, feeling "ommm...'ish" and ending off with more RI

Last 3 sits went unpublished -- fairly dry, RI only.  Some cognitive shifts occurring, and a new one regarding guilt - bringing it on others and bringing it on myself.  At the same time I've been succumbing to the lure of distractions more than usual due to some anxieties that pop up during the orientation and initial learning curve of my new business venture.   This is all mind and obviously need more command power over the mind.

A fellow sojourner shared this with me and I am using it for Metta practice.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybtW2VrmwJs
It quiets a critical, vengeful mind and can be run from different viewpoints of existence and towards different people, and might restimulate some feelings of guilt and shame, self-blame which will dissolve if persisted through, passively allowing it to come and go. It can unfix a fixed viewpoint or attitude towards someone.

With that and with some quotes from my partner I decided to devote this practice to imagining myself giving towards others.  For example, giving a bushel of apples to someone, etc., etc.

The unconscious (or hidden) mind is nothing but a series of scenes from the past that contain conflicting and self-serving postulates.  And most of us have had a very long past in this universe, operating under the postulate matrix of "To Know ...".  All lesser postulates -- to create/to love/to admire/to help/.../to sex -- are expressions of "To Know/To be Known/To Not Know/To Not be Known.  This being also a universe of "not-selfs" the hidden mind likewise records the not-self oppositional postulate in any scenes of interactions.

Nirvana is realized when all past importances in the mind are nulled.  Knowing the logical construct of the mind simply makes it a more efficient process. Knowing that I have a collection of past importances (as scenes of interactions) in my mind - even though hidden - I must be willing to allow myself to know them and not flinch - to re-examine the held-in importances by bringing them into the present and comparing them with the now and then putting them back into the past.  This is a native ability and one I must re-learn. Children are sometimes born being aware of a past existence and quickly forget it with all the excitement of their new life.

The command power of the mind over the being is such that it can bring up the past to overlay the present and the being only thinks his thoughts and actions are based solely on present interactions, but often we don't know why we interact with a person the way we do, why we feel about that person the way we do.

Yes, ultimately, it is all an illusion, both the past and the present -- all a game, and it is our held-on importances to past games that sticks us in this present game, within this To Know matrix, which, if we track our history, we created - we can know the viewpoint of the One who created it in order to have a persisting game/dream.  Home free then.  No more entanglements and we can pop in and out of that matrix at will.

Sometimes I have to check myself for attitude of just getting through this exercise, thus not doing it with full attention and intention.

a) self -
  • as one clears more their mind they enlarge their willingness and ability to know the larger society of life in this solar system, galaxy, etc. -- or to not know it, but always on a voluntary, not involuntary, basis.
  • They will be able to create their own solar systems and galaxies if they desire.
  • As far as I can determine now a being with no-mind would want to play the game of self-realization for all their "not-selfs" who think they are their bodies, their roles.  It would be a fun game to play and about as "logical" as one could get from that higher viewpoint, going into a more fixed viewpoint in order to interact in a game.
  • I see a much lighter game being adopted
  • compassion, caring, for the compulsive and the insane
  • No more compulsions to see things go "boom!"  :-)    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L49VXZwfup8
  • Compulsive for surprise a bit?  :-))
  • Should I hit the re-start button as I've always had in the past?
  • We scour for the rare and beautiful
  • gosh, when it is rare and beautiful and functional at the same time - equivalent to "a reason why"
  • I remember that shiny expensive object that I could not purchase unless I convinced myself of what it could be useful for
  • but with beautiful and expensive paintings it is in reverse -- I must have a wall for these paintings, not I must have these paintings to cover a wall
  • not done until I stop laughing
  • who is bringing these things into existence?  I am. Well, then who am I? Well, that's a long story ...   :-)
  • I played a joke on myself -- how awesomely funny

Have yet to figure out the "draft" function and lost all text from yesterday's sit.
Woke up this a.m. and realized that my mind had been quiet all that time compared to how it had been before I slept -- just never quite noticed it that way before
Feelings of gratitude for this moment of self-realization
scanning out yesterday, some yawns
When I stare at the darkened computer monitor I begin to scan out all incidents related to monitors, with yawns and scenes coming up.
Spontaneous laughter - for thinking these things were so important
Running differences and similarities between what is here now and what is in the scene that comes up
Good, one particularly sticky scene -- good for practice

Wisdom begins when the urge to understand games becomes greater than the urge to play them. D.H.S
A game, to be worth playing, must contain elements considered valuable. Value is monitored by the consideration of beauty, and is increased
by scarcity. But as both the effect and the consideration of value or beauty are generated by life, then
life has a senior value to all things.
(Civilizations invariably decline when this truth is lost.)

Level 2 Comparison of Differences and Similarities
Much of my current interactions are online and I am using a large darkened LED screen to look at to scan out my interactions and run comparisons.   For example, yesterday I created a video and it included the pink silouhette of a woman, so I bring that image from the past up onto the darkened monitor and run similarities and differences.   Sometimes just staring at the monitor scans out all my online interactions.  The trick is to successfully put the objects back into the past so that the monitor is just a black screen, with no past attachments.

 okay, done for now -- have to get to work.

Starting this new business stirred up my mind, especially the must create/must not create conflicts, and also I once again felt the must-be-known compulsion; however, they've both been handled and I credit that to all the clearing work and education I've embarked on for the last 4 years.   Gratitude for those who have helped me and encouraged me.  Thank you.  

After yesterday's sit I walked away knowing that I am using this avatar named and registered as Colleen. Partly the game is to satisfy the needs of this game piece, but I have an intuitive or spiritual sense that there is a bigger game afoot here and it seems very important to learn everything I can about communication via the internet.  For now I am developing resolve and learning about the playing of games -- what I mean is learning how to play more complementary games than I've been accustomed to playing.  It is a rehabilitative exercise.

Life is hierarchical and once I stepped into this game I realized that.  I also realized that time now matters much more than it did when I was not playing any game and focusing in on the activity of vanishing the mind.   Both are fun and I'm glad to be able to balance the two.  Make things lighter for those who can have it.

"Undoubtedly, the most desirable state for a being to be in is in the voluntary, or non-compulsive, games state, while having the ability to return to the no-games state by choice. That is the most desirable state for a
being to be in. At any time he wants to he can play games. And then, by a flip of his postulates, he can simply end the games and go into the no-games state, go into the no-games condition, and there can
stay for any length of time he wants to. The no-games condition can be stayed in, of course, for minutes, hours, years, centuries; and a very useful ability to have - if the planet of your choice happens to be in a nuclear winter or suffering an ice age, you simply shut down as a spiritual being and go into a no-games condition for a couple of thousand of years, until things look better again. Then you come out of it and pick up and become a voluntary games player."  D.H.S.

I am still in a compulsive games state and using this new business game to spot it and handle it, in addition to my a.m. practice towards completing Level 2 and then Level 3, which is where one becomes voluntary. This voluntary state is achievable many different ways and I have chosen this way to prove out for myself Dennis' unique but simple approach.


"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) self
  • a voluntary games player has the increased facility of logic and increased access to his analytical abilities
  • in other words, he can play a game and still be able to think straight and he opposes the postulates he intends to oppose and is complementary with the postulates he intends to be complementary with
  • I feel the best game one can play on this planet is "a lighter game" and I'm putting that all around me in various scenarios
  • One way is to simply not take wins and loses so seriously
  • a must be known'er could be very intrigued by a must-not-know'er and be drawn into a games condition with them, at the same time loving them and wanting to make it a good game
  • It actually could be rehabilitative for an MBK to interact with an MNK
  • thus, for an MBK, an MNK is great havingness as a game player, a game piece and perhaps vice versa
  • we used to create civilizations
  • The being who created this games matrix that we experience our existence within did so quite logically and analytically, and the trick is to return to and retain that viewpoint while at the same time experiencing an existence within this games matrix

"It is a law of all games that overwhelming failure causes the being to compulsively adopt the pan-determined postulate of his opponent.
This is the postulate enforced upon him at his end of the communication line. A game, then, can be regarded as a conflict of postulates
wherein a being endeavors to convince his opponent of his own ( SelfDetermined ) postulate, while resisting the ( PanDetermined )
postulate arrayed against him. All games, despite their seeming complexity, can be reduced to this basic simplicity and thus understood." D.H.S.

"The repository of these experiences on the goal ‘To Know’ regarding a succession of effects and substitute effects we call the mind.
Basically, then, the mind is best considered as a collection of past importances. Due to their intrinsic nature, past importances have a
command power over the being in the present. However, as these various past importances are contacted and re-evaluated to present
time realities the mind will be found to become progressively less persisting and less and less solid, and will finally vanish.
Nevertheless, the being can, at any time, by re-injecting sufficient fresh importance into any part of it, cause it to reappear in any
desired solidity. Needless to say, when this stage is reached the mind will no longer have a command power over the being, and his full
abilities will be restored." D.H.S.

My main focus is on Level 2 and becoming quite proficient with bringing things from the past into the present, doing the comparisons until no more change in thoughts/feelings/emotions, etc. and coordinating it with a proper amount of repair of importance, because Level 2 can tear away one's held on importances from the past. I've noticed a lowered attitude towards life if I do not do enough repair after a Level 2 exercise. Of course I could simply notice the lower attitude and choose to stop right there and do some repair, and now I wonder why I did not. Why does my partner not?  Perhaps we would rather experience the routine of suffering.  Nonetheless, we see life the way that our postulates demand, depending on which of the conflicting postulates is having the upperhand.  It is a dual universe and a silly person who forgets that.
It's probably a good idea to analytically assess one's importances before insisting upon them.

a must-not-know, if compulsive, must play a game with a must-be-known and the two go around with rejection and infliction, trading off. It can be played with various degrees of seriousness.  It can be played with shame/blame-guilt/ridicule or without it

Scanned out yesterday, especially the food items. Still making discoveries about complementary postulates and found this great quote:
"The key to the resolution of the mind, then, lies in exercising the being
in the discovery and creation of complementary postulates; and,
transiently, in unraveling the tangled mass of conflicting postulates
that his mind has become. The mind, being a repository of old games,
which are postulates in conflict, has no defense against the
application and re-injection of complementary postulates regarding
the effects it contains. In short, we vanish the mind by
progressively getting the being to create, and do exercises in,
complementary and conflicting postulates; to create and experience
overt and motivator overwhelms, play games, and generally bring back
under his own determinism these four basic postulates -- both as SD
and PD -- which go to make up the interchange we call life. En route
he will discover, or re-discover, all there is to know about life; he
will also discover his true nature as a spiritual being." D.H.S.

For example, I put out a postulate - a must or a must not - and either my own mind and/or current interactions will oppose that postulate and then attempt to convince me with reasons why and I of course will fight back with my own reasons why.  I will eventually end up being overwhelmed by my own mind and/or by the current "not-self" opposing me.   Even if I do manage to overwhelm the being with its opposition postulate I run the risk of shame/blame, guilt/ridicule being employed, depending upon the serious-value attributed to the game of must/must not.  One's own mind contains enough opposers from the past that one hardly needs to add seriousness-value to current opposers - they are simply restimulators.

It is always good to self-inquire: "How voluntary is that postulate?"  A good exercise for me, towards resolving compulsive fixed goals, is to practice voluntarily shifting into the four basic postulate determinations using repeater technique (example: "I must not be known") and timebreaking whatever past interactions that brings up.

I feel my inner resolve strengthening as mental conflicts arise and challenge me while doing my work, both this work of clearing the mind and the work involved with my new business. During the time it takes for the videos to download I bring things into existence and put them all around me.  Am I not gaining more command power over my mind?  Am I now able to say to the mind entity, "I love you, thank you"?

If I did not have the strong purpose to totally resolve/vanish the mind -- to the point that I could re-create it but why? -- I could walk away now and be happier and more stable than I've ever been this life -- and last life too.  I can see why some meditators do walk away, like a Tolle who knows he still has a mind but it no longer bothers him, relatively speaking.  Anyone with a mind still is constantly re-creating it, albeit unconsciously. Why not finish the job?

The answer is of course, yes, but I can't fool myself like that because I have a very compelling theory of the mind and the being that became part of the mindscape, and I have a set of practices that I clearly have not mastered so I really cannot fool myself into thinking I need go no further with any practice, or with some weak, diluted practice.  Also there is the carrot of no more limiting postulates whatsoever, except voluntarily.

I am a compulsive games player in ways I am not yet fully aware of, or aware of but accepting for now, and it is only because of my clearing the mind to some degree that I feel happier, relative to how I used to be compulsive. If my mind were totally vanished, no more past importances, what would I be-do-have now? I suppose "voluntary" and "involuntary" are also part of this dual universe.

To not be able to be surprised by people feels deadly - that people with their mental state are so deadly predictable. I wish to be wondrous to myself and when I meditate I can find that.

I do have this growing realization that I can be-do-have anything if I so decide, but that is only because I have an increased willingness to handle my mind - the conflicting postulates that will arise, the limiting postulates.

A must-be-knowner is wanting to know that people wish to know him and his effects, whereas a must not be knowner is wanting to know what people are up to so as to have reasons why to not be known ... "You see how people are? --- this is why I don't want to play games with anyone (i.e., to be known)."
He is a compulsive collector of materials whilst the must-be-knowner is a compulsive collector of persons.
The must-not-be-knowner got that way by being overwhelmed by a must-not-know postulate while he was dramatizing the must-be-known postulate.  I would not wish to be either, each claiming rightness, yet at the same time able to be either at will.

Level Two:  Exercises devoted to the discovery of the past and its evaluation to present time.

a) Non-significant past scene: cleaning my shoes
  • Firstly, I take myself back to the beginning of yesterday and scan through before I decide on a non-significant past scene. When I first do this the present scene tends to fade out.
  • I'm looking at one scene where I felt I could not lift a piece of fallen fence off the ground; I changed the scene and happily lifted the fallen fence - then I put that all around me just for good measure  :-))
  • I could do this because I saw the postulate(s) that limited me
  • I saw the other person's postulates making it important and how I decided to be complementary to that
  • I saw how I gave myself guilt for not doing it sooner as I saw my postulates for not doing it sooner
  • Whenever I perceive a non-complementary postulate I assign wrongness to myself instead of simply changing the postulate
b) black shoes
c) present time object -  brush
d) how is it (the brush) different?
  • hard wood, handle, string attached, hard plastic, bristles, beige, tan, a brush function, not black, not leather, not vinyl, not a shoe function, not soft, not comfortable, no rubber soles, no red lettering, lies flat, doesn't rock
  • I saw how someone could come up with the idea of putting bristles on the inside sole of shoes
  • however I see they are both well crafted and I feel a liking for well-crafted objects; both are dingy and in need of a good clean up
  • yawning off psychic mass
  • Oh, gee, lifetime as a shoemaker (hot flash as compulsive must create/must not create turns on)
  • see how my subjects of create have been incrementally reduced and limited and a desire to be unlimited
  • -- repair of importance here -- putting things all around me and then another and putting it all around me
  • get the idea that there should not be anything that I cannot acquire a skill of
  • I must have found it incredible as a male shoemaker that women would clamor for shoes that make their feet uncomfortable, but I enjoyed the feminine attention and being able to touch their feet, love them through their feet.  Hmmm...  :-))
  • I see also how I got tired of the creative limitations and at the same time wanting to make good simple shoes
  • Well, I just allowed myself to be limited by my own considerations and the considerations of others - by contagion of the consideration of others

6Dec14 Toward Vanishing the Mind
When the postulated game of to love and to be loved goes negative then the beings become engaged in the interactions of forcing and/or preventing enslavement. Freedom is a huge commodity to beings, especially after some heavy games of love. When I was nearing 40 my desire for freedom sought not inwardly but extrovertedly, and caused me to suddenly leave my family. When love starts to feel too binding (which is in and of itself merely a consideration because a being can go complementary with any postulate by choice) then perhaps it is good to look at all the times I overwhelmed others and was likewise overwhelmed by others' love games. This might be likely to be crossed with bodily functions of eating and sexing, just to add to the confusion due to identification with bodies.

Truthfully, it is my past and whatever in the now that stirs up my past that makes me feel enslaved and in a "must love/must not love" conflict. Within the overarching matrix it translates upwards to two people, one who must be known and the other who must not know, and these conflicted longings devolve into more and more serious considerations of rejection and infliction.  

How far back in the past does this go? Of course, to the first consideration of such, certainly before bodies of matter. So how do I resolve right here and right now if the now is constantly and unconsciously overlayed by similar pasts - so similar that one could fool oneself into thinking they are also now, and not that I am simply holding them here in the now? This becomes more and more marked as one veers towards insanity.

The only way out as I see it is to relieve oneself of the burden of holding onto these past importances, but first I have to decide I am going to know these past scenes so that I can review them and decide if I still wish to make them important.

Since I started playing this new business game I've been looking at the importance of importances for a being. A being is certainly happy when its postulates are working, and that becomes more likely the more a being clears out its past stuck importances that do not apply to the now. The more wisely a being plays the less likely it can be made miserable. Also, cleared of stuck importances, the being can play for the sake of play and less for the seriousness of winning or losing, punishment, censor, etc.

I will never lose sight that this is just a game and I can at any moment by choice no longer "give game". Of course this is when I am well on the way to vanishing the games conditions I am in with my own mind.


"Bring Something into Existence"
a) self - people subscribing as if that were simply the logical thing to do - abundance game
  • some have taken a vow of poverty so they play the adversary - not abundance
  • some are complementary to the system and some are non-complementary, both playing their own side of the game, and of course both right in their own eyes
  • the game gets degraded when one or both sides values something else more than the beings -- their brothers and sisters -- playing these games
  • There are "haters" on both sides
  • both sides serve each other in the realm of games
  • the rich blessing the poor by sharing their riches and the poor, by receiving, blessing the rich
  • when the rich hate the poor and the poor hate the rich, civilization is degrading
  • see the double torus and that is really what is happening
  • I recall when we as beings created cone-shaped spirals and we would hold an attractive "shiny object" in front of the wider end of the spiral to entice another being to enter into our created spiral experience, and I recall how this started out light and fun and became more and more punishing and serious. Why?
  • And should we never have played those games?
  • Lies and covert game strategies enter in and fools never return
  • and now as an internet marketer I am once again engaged in creating infinitely scalable spiralling funnels for beings to have fun with, but this time I am recovering myself and soon will be engaged in creating double torii concepts -- all the while training myself in the ability to go complementary at any time
  • that is what was missing in my past - the complete resolution of self and not-self
  • when I see the To Know matrix manifested as an undulating double torus I can appreciate how beautiful it is
  • I put the moving double torus around me and it stirs up both positive and negative attachments
  • but it does so in such an even way ... hmmmm
  • a "sensation machine"
  • I can be such a torus just as well as I can be a body

b) another - no resistance
  • yawning
  • complementary postulates enhance life
  • laughing off some delusion
  • feelings of love of life
 

a) self
covert game strategies are overts - when you say you are doing for one reason and really have another unspoken purpose - people with noisy mind are prone to this.

b) another

Aahh, just the mere action of entering into this session and I am calmed and can be more logical, and better examine my options instead of fuming that my postulates are not working. Looking inward at the condition of my own mind instead of that of another's - what does he trigger in me, and seeing similar incidents in the past where I was actually like him and became overwhelmed and thus this type is no longer "good". Okay, get that cleared out and now let's look at the situation and my real condition and what I can do about it, now that I am not in a games condition with my own mind, or my "not-self"  :-)))  Laughter.

Recall the times I made an association and discovered some members are self-serving, and how they seemed to get promoted. Then my mind mercifully brings up times when I was that person too. Aahh, the contagion of abberration. The liability of playing games.  So, I'm really angry because of the provocation of a near association to become like him, because he seems to be "successful". Unless I clear this out I will keep myself stymied, frozen in an unresolved mental conflict, focusing on him as the target instead of what in the past he restimulates. And I do seem to so hate this type - which I also have been. Lordy!

Okay, so now I'm laughing off the delusion of fixation on him. Some "thank you"s coming through.
Charge blowing off through yawning
Compulsive beings really react strongly to "stops"
But it is really their own mind of past conflicts they are holding onto, which the present only restimulates
Oh, how I feel sorry for those who cannot play a good game
But I don't feel sorry for myself for I have my tools and practices by which I handle my enturbulations, and what do they have for a clamorous mind? Alcohol, drugs, shopping, tv, sports, travel, money (as a substitute for power of postulates), eating, sexing, etc. Doesn't sound so bad, does it?  hahahaha

Am still fascinated with the double torus, while taking it apart - the past incidents regarding it - reducing its fixed points of importance. But for one who comes up out of a fixed viewpoint regarding it, there is much possiblity for bliss because it is quite a fine sensation machine once one falls back in step with it again, even "being it". One may never leave that state of bliss to discover the past of its very first creation. Perfect - we purposed it that way, didn't we?

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) I'm creating the double torus and changing it into different colors and densities
  • I'm coming up to "ridicule" - not angry anymore
  • "Wow!, you're so smart, and we're so dumb..." laughter
  • hating the double torus (DT), trying to destroy it
  • very frustrating, it won't go away!
  • grief - if I can't put that all around me then what is left? Nothing.
  • an angry, frustrated DT
  • fighting the DT, resisting being pulled into it, going in and out, vacillating, struggle
  • feels constrictive, don't like it
  • grief, tears, having lost my former position and it is now all a consideration of trapped
  • why am I fighting with a creation?
  • this one is rubbery and I don't like it - don't want to put it around me, doing it anyways
  • rubbery things stir up mental conflict and a sort of fascination
  • rubbery robot bodies,lol
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_VydFQmtZ8
  • lots of yawning

"In our model of cosmometry, the torus is the fundamental form of balanced energy flow found in sustainable systems at all scales. It is the primary component that enables a seamless fractal embedding of energy flow from micro-atomic to macro-galactic wherein each individual entity has its unique identity while also being connected with all else. In the words of pioneering researching Arthur Young:
“The self in a toroidal Universe can be both separate and connected with everything else.”

Starting this business stirs up past unresolved issues working with others and choosing to not work with others, and my must-be-known tendencies flaring up. I want to run away from some of my thoughts and am reminding myself that is not the solution. Then I think of the sensation machine, the DT. And my body is also attempting to throw off toxins for its own resolution.

However, I have all the practices and techniques I need to smooth out all my troubles I bring on myself through my chosen interactions and their connections with the past importances which I either am well aware of or have chosen to not-know under blackness.

My practice is not steady. I'm really not kicking ass here because life could be even smoother if I were. I discovered I could still assign blame.

However, yesterday I was able to experience something voluntarily in the "must know" postulate, so I am working towards being able to use either of the four postulates at will as appropriate. The must not know and the must not be known postulates are more demanding as I still exhibit strong tendencies to be known. Okay, get to work.....

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) self  ugh, that stupid torus again, lol
you know what it really is colleen? It's a massive demo of the basic postulate set and you have a problem with that, don't you?
It seemed like a good idea at the time, didn't it.
laughing off delusion, yawns
tears of 'oh, my, what did I just do to myself' fears that I've reduced myself forever
The loss of postulate power appears to equate with a loss of self, which emotions express
[postulates working = happy  +  postulates not working = unhappy] = the spirally spin machine, lol
joke's on me

b) another
I see some people who believe that if they have money they can make their postulates work = be happy
Control the mind, even unto vanishment and his postulates will always be "right"
Chasing after money seems like a degrading game compared to the better games one could be playing
Caring about money more than caring about people
money cannot save someone from becoming a doddering old fool in the end

What the mind wants and what the being wants are starting to complement each other as in an uneasy fellowship.
The mind and I can agree on a type of fair society, from the bottom up and from the top down; more balanced, less polarization
My current steaminess about "criminal" societies is from the viewpoint of the overwhelmer and the overhwhelmed, both.
It is simply not a good game anymore. The lust for sensation that is derived from besting others using covert game strategies - well, there must be better games?

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) self - a more caring society
wisdom from subjective knowing of the past -- all of it
yawns
unwise to play a game without knowing all the players
seen from a larger perspective it is questonable if games will ever stop, and will continue to degrade and become more serious except for those who have found the key
everything we don't wish to remember is there
Each forgetting a smaller re-enactment of previous forgettings
a more caring society has nothing to do with yearnings for past pleasure moments, past golden age societies, for that creates disappointment
feeling less passionate, more humble
For now, live simple, live free
Perhaps this is or is not the best and highest game a being could play

Happy listening right now to Lester Levenson's "The Free State"  
http://pl.ayli.st/Lester+Levenson
He well describes the creation of the mind and how we try to get back to our beingness with the mind and the futility of that
His practice for new people of aggressively bringing up their emotions as the first step is basically correct, except for those who have a too tenuous grasp on the present environment. For those it would require an initial step of hours and hours of getting back into touch with the present environment by walking around and touching things for as long as it takes.

Emotions are expressions of how the game is going and are connected to past incidents, so just clearing the emotions is a type of "Life Repair" to prepare a person for the next step of addressing postulates, which he lays out a few of what Dennis calls "Junior games packages". Such as to-control, etc. This is where Lester's practice gets sloppy compared with Dennis' practice, however I am convinced that Lester did vanish his mind and the rest of games play was voluntary and what makes him unusual in that respect is that most like him simply leave.

Lester dug into his past, cleared it of the emotions, and re-modeled it; he also worked to break identification with the body through bringing up his fears of death (must live/must not live); finally he addressed what he called "separation and oneness", or what Dennis calls "self and not-self".

He is very familiar with the territory of the initial formation of this mind -- what I now dramatize as the double vortice torus -- which very few practices point to, but he made his best attempt with pointing to separation and oneness.  Thank you, Lester

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical
no matter how compulsive I am about having or doing something it never satisfies for long and feels like a roller coaster ride with its highs and lows.  Not able to operate from the center, so to speak. Thus we all do practices that increase our command power over our minds.

a) self - a society of courageous doers
feel tired - stand up and touch things - feel better, laughing, yawning
guffaws of laughter at how I make some things so important at the time
and then a small grief that I keep doing that to myself
those times when I said to myself, "I'm just going to do it!"
this is one of those times - a courageous society starts with me
wise to implement good gradients towards increasing doingness and courage
wise to maintain the practice
doing from an omniscient viewpoint requires doing the practice, reducing reliance on the mind's know-abouts
I asked myself, "what doingness about this business gives you the scares?"
Then I asked myself, "when did that happen before?" and pulled up incidents and started timebreaking, yawning, blowing charge
I'm now scanning out times when I felt rejected and much release, with yawning
I can see I've been withholding myself from courageous doingness until I learned to play in a complementary fashion
If two opposing vortices went complementary there would be no spewing of created matter
calmer now

b) another - a healthy body
the importance of self-disciplined doingness
okay
a) self - torus

Increased awareness of scatteredness of thoughts as I move into doingness, and have taken more to writing down outlines and to-do lists
Preparing for a lemon juice and water fast, finishing off the apples, in hopes of increasing mental acuity

Decided to break the practice up into two separate sessions because the first exercise takes long and I like do it without feeling rushed as it usually takes two hours to complete. This will be done on arising.
The second practice - timebreaking - will be done as a late afternoon break and instead of doing usual repair of importance I will walk around touching things to keep mind filled with importance of masses and keep the focus in to do the timebreaking.


"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) self - society of courageous doers
people mostly afraid of the mind and doing anything about it - takes much courage to see what lies in the mind and do something about it
no need to shirk away from the mind if follow the steps closely
[Just IM'd fella in UK who is trying to be spiritual without doing any consistent practice, but sometimes being lost is better than being sunk into the job mentality]
people stepping into doingness intially feeling lost and confused, feeling the tug of the body and needing to straighten out the body, and experiencing healing crises as they begin to resolve things in their minds and in their life
what is my best probable future now?
when I begin a doingness I come up against two things - body and mind and handling them intelligently has to become part of the doing'ness plan
people twinning up at the gym, getting wholesome with diet
stepping past the conservative edginess
windsurfing
adventurous deaths
"I'm just going to do it" - no need for a reason why
mantra that - yawning - hitting against mental stops when I say that; tone is rising
"I am me"
I used to like my sleepy little town :-))
doing and not doing, both volitionally
okay

b) another - windsurfing
okay

a) self - windsurfing
helping to push me into a doingness mindset

b) another - wilderness exploration
must have internet connectivity  :-))
astral exploration too


So instead of just yearning for certain doingnesses, I'm just going to decide to do it and then that takes me into planning, preparing, etc, etc., or better, an intuitive, "what's next?" attitude towards doingness

a) Non-significant past scene: 
b) Past Object: 
c) present time object: 
d) how is it (the PT object) different?
e) Same Past Object
f)  Present time object that is similar:  


I start by looking at the last 24 hours, releasing some energy tension and selecting an insignificant occurrence
a) scene of peeling apples
b) an apple
c) cell phone case
d) leather/pink/square/fastener/flexible/hollow/black/threads/dry/cloth/label/fastener/no stem/not sweet/not sour/no taste/no liveliness
    I did notice a similarity of having a layer of "skin"
e) apple
f)  apple
  • Done and now it seems natural to continue to check out scenes containing apples as far back as I can go
  • realization that mind took up the issue of Eve eating the "apple" and things going south after that (so they say), thus apple = sin, or something like that
  • Good to be able to spot these little programs in the mind
  • must eat apple/must not eat apple     LOL!   apple takes on significance it should not
  • apple=Eve=mother=sin=bad=poisoned apple=witch=innocent children= monsanto= pesticides= farmers= men= farmers= bad= me= victim= fruit=must not eat=must eat=must detox=poor body=poor me, etc.
  • up to current reality of my diet is almost exclusively apples (now "organic"), and I am scheduled for a supervised de-tox and diet of ripe fruits is preparatory

How does apples seem to you now? Logical, analytical, and taste good too. Feel I got wise about some of the non-life games being played on this planet and am using the circumstances to create a better effect on the body. "Use it and win"

Nothing would make me happier than to see the all-of-me that considers it is suffering to find the route out - the Fourth Noble Path to eternal wisdom - and join me in this delightful activity of the taking apart of our own creation. Afterward, we'll all get together and have a good laugh.

a) self - a beauiful forest
it seems the most beautiful creation does not satisfy, feels barren, only a scene, no life in it
ah, well, it is for the mind only - continue
it seems the mind wants lushness of life to populate its creation
a surprise around every corner, under every rock and in the sky
the must-know and must-be-known of the mind are satisfied with this creation, and implementing must not know and must not be known make it work as a surprise
It feels that the better I follow my mandate, the happier I will be; a feeling I'm just obeying orders, and that's okay
an ingenious way to play a game with oneself!
love for life increasing; valuing the importance of the basic component of all creations; without life, no game, no play
all of creation could collapse into a black hole and not kill the joy of life; the brotherhood, the sisterhood, and the allness of life
just because a lifeform has more limiting programming does not mean it cannot care for life
all life is capable of finding its joy and effusing joy

"Thus, the paradox of all games:
a. All games are played for fun

c. To invite a loss is to eventually have a loss enforced upon one" ...... D.H.S.

a) self - a balanced society (non-compulsive)
  • no desire to play in compulsive, materialistic societies
  • the only logical thing to do would be to work in some capacity as a psychotherapist
  • complementary postulates enhance life
  • a balanced society needs simple, effective self-applied mental health restoratives to remove trauma of postulate failure, which is inevitable in games play
  • this work I do is making me qualified to be a happy citizen of such a society
  • I am the creation and the creator
  • I don't think I have ever known a balanced society on my timeline that I can recall, not to say there were not a lot of fun times had creating various societies
  • a society that understands logic and reason
  • (clearing partner arrived and we spent hours talking about a balanced society compared with this planet. A key characteristic of a balanced society would be the significant lack of blame and shame and vengeance response mechanism)
  • It is wise to be able to discern compulsive behavior in oneself firstly and secondly in others
  • In fact, if everyone in this society were taught the two simple practices I do everyday -- and were taught at a rather young age -- and doing the exercises became of some importance for personal improvement then of course there would be a balanced society. A society where people are not unconsciously compelled to keep re-living the decisions of the past.
  • A balanced be-do-have
  • feelings of gratitude
  • suddenly something that was very important to me became unimportant as my importances shifted to what was really important and I gave myself more options on how to handle the importances
  • a balanced mind  :-))

Colleen Karalee Peltomaa:
  • In fact, if everyone in this society were taught the two simple practices I do everyday -- and were taught at a rather young age -- and doing the exercises became of some importance for personal improvement then of course there would be a balanced society. A society where people are not unconsciously compelled to keep re-living the decisions of the past.

What are these two simple practices?

I see you frequently write pairs of opposites, such as A/not A - what does that mean and what do you do with it?

Thank you!

Hello, JC, the first practice keeps the mind satiated until it is vanished. It might commonly be known as "Creative Visualization" and is done until the mind goes quiet (not compulsively creating, etc.) Also a tool for stress relief. It keeps one's core practice from crashing or overwhelming, because as long as we have a mind it tends to fill in what has just been released through a good core practice. It is the beginning of getting command power over my mind - by giving it a job, a problem to solve, or a sensation to experience. For example, if I let go of an age-old fixation on "must be a priest", my mind has innumerable other aspects to willy-nilly fill in with, and I don't need that kind of trouble :-)

Literally once I started digging into the mind I opened a Pandora's box and the above practice is a governor.

The second practice is the first step towards vanishing the mind wherein I scan out the day's activities to see where my attention might still be fixed, some fixed importance, and I select an object from that past importance and compare differences and similarities with objects in the present environment. This practice is preparatory towards the final step of erasing all past hangups, and thus current and future importances from the mind (which is all the mind is). The final exercise unwinds me from a series of decisions I made through time by aggressively and consciously interjecting those decisions. I can do consciously whatever my mind does unconsciously.

The "must/must not" are also from the past and you can see how that could limit a being. I use what I call "repeater" and when I consciously, deliberately repeat the revealed phrase then my mind gets to work on it and shows me what it is dealing with, i.e., incidents from the past, and keeping my eyes open to see what is now while at the same time seeing all that the mind holds in suspension helps me null or erase that particular hang-up because I see it is of the mind and not necessarily need be continued. 

The past is a collection of "it all seemed like a good idea at the time"   :-)

19Dec14 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Still intrigued with something that feels like a double torus - that represents the motion of the four basic postulates. Sometimes it feels gentle and undulating and other times it is an unpleasant experience. I don't think anyone in science sees the four basic postulates - the "how" of creation of this universe mindscape. 

"Bring Something into Existence" 360 spherical

a) self - painting a room
feels good, but a protest on clutter; the mind is busy with this; protest on imperfection on top of imperfection

b) another - laying a floor
good prep work

a) self - planting apple trees
done
b) another - packing books
done

Sometimes a conversaiton with my clearing partner will stir the mind and evoke cascades of yawns which then prompts a good round of creative visualization to replace the "importances" I saw myself giving up. He is learning some new questions that dig deep, and we discussed my continued foot dragging doing the Timebreaking. Probably should have been finished with Level 2 long ago. There is certainly nothing "hard" about it. We discussed a "therapy" that would help a person dig out postulates that foster resistance.

We discussed my dramatization of a "need for a skillset" for feelings of self-worth, etc. and how continued timebreaking would tame the mental conflicts that prevent myself from learning (a must against a must-not).

We discussed Richard Flook's "Advanced Clearing Energetics" (ACE).  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iG1DL6qk20

MY "RI" is focused more now on doingness than havingness, although havingness still satisfies.

"Bring Something into Existence" 360 spherical
a) self - making a healthy lemon pie
uncooked
feeling various compulsions coming up and leaving as I continue
a resistance to learning curves (fear of failure?);

b) another - basking in admiration and affection
rhythmic mutual exchange is complementary postulates (also double torus)


a) self - giving gifts
egoic compulsions coming up and leaving
a time to give and a time to receive - rhythmic balanced exchange (again the double torus)

b) another - giving gifts
okay, good

To be continued ....


Let's get some Timebreaking done:

a) scan the day and find incident with an object:     a plastic trash bag
b) find different object in PT:  curtain     "How is it different?"

c) find object in PT that is similar:  plastic bag    "How is it similar?"

d) find another object in the past:  candle
e) find object in present that is different:   brush   "How is it different?"

f) find object in present that is similar:  candle     "How is it similar?"

It is okay to be creative, just not compulsively, but to be present with the act of creating
I can see how this exercise, ever so gently entrains one to break up the association of things in the past with things in the present.
And scanning the day out helps me look at what what "important" to me and to have a chance to consciously release it.

g) do repair of importance

a) self - an organized dump
finished with I could leave it just the way it is

b) another - a planet of broken down manmade stuff
if i had a robot body i would probably have more affinity for it, otherwise it seems like such a waste of fine real estate
interesting that the only people are the ones in my mind, lol! It would be difficult to motivate on "rejection"

a) self - a grassy pasture

21Dec14 Toward Vanishing the Mind
Success with anything hinges a lot on being able to stick to a schedule and this morning I start at 6:10 am, one hour after awaking, and I feel it should be this way everyday - while the household sleeps. Listened to Lester Levenson this a.m., as he is the greatest of nudgers. Simply the fact of being identified with this heavy body is a huge outpoint for a spiritual being, a huge unnecessary limitation. I recall Ron Hubbard saying, "What the hell are you doing in a body in the first place!?!" ...Especially these hacked together bodies. No attachment, no resistance, no importance is the key.

"Bring Something into Existence" 360 spherical
a) self - a prison
  • we are all compelled to take vengeance which creates continuously degrading cycles of action, if one could be logical and extrapolate it out, whereas establishing effective mental health technologies that null the all consuming reactivity of vengeance would be the logical solution for true peacemakers. Beings are so identified with their bodies they think they can actually be hurt, but it all goes back to the original hurt - children born in pain - the original pain. Erase that and life is smooth.
  • a prison can be a great opportunity to finally stop trying so hard to be a body - to let go of it, let go of the mind that needs a body to interact
  • a prison is part of that loop that beings get stuck on - from agony to ecstasy, around and around, only they can't quite see that it is each time a smaller fractal unit
  • Now these heavy bodies - what is the next level down?
  • Yet, I am amazed and awed that I as a spiritual being can do this to myself ... amazing ...
  • I have played at being a "noble being" and I have been a degrading and degraded being ... what am I really? No being, neither savior nor enslaver, yet have played at being both, either crying out for the savior or causing others to cry out for a savior
  • and now I sit in my own prison, quietly and happily doing this work, no more need for a savior or to be a savior
Done

b) another - a planet with no people, only junk ("good junk")
curing people was for me in the past a self-defense mechanism and perhaps a taking of responsibility for my own cause along the time track, and it is still a "game" for me but less egoically, compulsively "important", and I have given myself more options on how to play.
every protest is an opportunity to go to the source of it and timebreak it there
okay

23December14 Toward Vanishing the Mind
The initial step is to gain command power over the mind by consciously giving it something of "importance" until it is satiated, and then from that "higher" state to bring up long held onto importances, review them, remove the energies from them (energies are particles which easily dissolve when touched upon), and null that particular importance.

There are two types of past "scenes" I experience. Some scenes with all of their decisions and emotions and interactions include bodies, identification with physical bodies. Other scenes lack the presence of physical bodies or objects yet feel very "important" towards an attachment or an aversion. In fact it feels as if all the "troubles" began before physical humanoid bodies were involved and in fact these games pieces were simply an acting out of much earlier concerns and happenings, and have gained an ever increasing importance over time.

For example, today I woke upset because I slept past my alarm setting. As I went into my session I realized that upset mix of emotions has been with me since the start of time and from whence all my reactive stupidity down the time track.

The final step towards vanishing the mind/dhukka, towards nirvana, is to review my decisions along the track, and that has been made simple by saying all decisions belong in the class of "To Know/To be Known and To not Know/To not be Known". This alone, by analytical and logical design, creates the desired persistency for as long as beings choose to be in conflict. The only "bad" consequence is that beings are in conflict with their past, which is their mind/dhukka. In conflict with their own mind. Without that mind all interactions are voluntary and wise. Even one can choose to be a body or not.

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) self -  life in paradise
  • once I realized all this body needs to eat is ripe fruit it opened up more options for me to secure the body without unecessary financial concerns
  • complementary postulates enhance life
  • as my clearing partner said, there is enough stuff in the mind to be cleared out, and we have the correct practices - we no longer need to create more dhukka. Life in paradise need not be an opiate for us as long as we do our practices daily
  • life in paradise would include internet connection, lol! (and 20 minutes ago I was spitting mad, hahaha - just gave the mind what it wanted - freedom from overwhelm)
  • feelings of regret and sorrow for past stupidities that landed me here in this dhukka condition, only to find out that nothing is as important as it seems
  • a feeling of delight when I put the whole timestream around me - it's there for my viewing pleasure
  • again the double torus with the centerpoint of equilibrium; life as a static that can postulate existences, with infinite ways of knowing and not-knowing
  • perhaps before the torus it was simply a sphere with life in the center
  • and now I feel the effort of the torus vs the simpler sphere, but I was entranced by the torus and now the sphere is important
b) another - life in paradise
  • awakening
  • in discussions with my clearing partner we realized we no longer need to experience the roller coaster of life's games in order to be forced to continue with our practices, and that there is enough "roller coaster" held in suspension in our own minds to taunt us and force us to the cushion. And when that quiets there are the final practices which scour the four corners of the mind until it is totally erased and we understand all there is to understand about how we got into this condition.
  • Yet here - not in paradise - is also sufficient for the work, but we choose a life of non-compulsive engagement to the extent of simply not-engaging with others who are compulsively convinced they are bodies
  • one of the results of doing this exercise with "another" is to be able to "have" another's convictions about life, i.e., what is "paradise" for another will be different than paradise for self
a) self - an ethical business
neither forcing nor preventing; without game strategies
not creating separation, feeling at peace with self and others
5000 happy and loyal subscribers
to learn to grant others the right to their own convictions
to exercise myself in complementary postulates
to exercise myself to get into the other's viewpoint

b) another - finger puppets
spontaneous creative humor and a surprise
a life when you do not know what your next action/creation will be and you can surprise even yourself
upbeat, non-serious, ecstatic child-like laughter
before life got serious
The biggest and happiest surprise of my life is finding myself ending all games - who could have contemplated that? 

Timebreaking:
This could actually be turned into a sort of board game or card game with two or more players

a) Scan out the day and select an object:    a cookie
b) Select present time object that is different:  a brush    "How is it different?"
c) Select an object that is similar to the cookie: a choc.chip cookie    "How is it similar?"
d) Select another object from the past:  apple
e) Select present time object that is different: felt-tip pen    "How is it different?"
f)  Select present time similar object: apple "How is it similar?"  both have the same weight of importance
g) Do repair of importance for self and another
One can control others to the point of stopping them and "to control" becomes "to stop" everytime compulsively, so that nothing ever gets done by self or another as long as one has anything to say or do about it. If you don't like doing the work then don't do it and at the same time don't interject yourself into the work in a way that will make it come to a halt waiting for you to do something which you say is most important and that only you can do because only you know how to do it the right way. It would be better if you let others do the work and make mistakes rather than you not doing the work while all the while promising you will do it. See all the limiting postulates that are uses of forcing and preventing?  Is this a teammate?

I'm glad I'm finally getting some clarity of thought on what has been occurring instead of reacting. Feel calmer, more in a logical mindset, sorting the sense from the nonsense.

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical
a) self - helping someone
released some charge around having to help others that tied in with approval and co-admiration
I am becoming a more objective observer of what this exercise puts the mind through
I can be aware of the thoughts without feeling ashamed, or otherwise affected - all because I think it is me - it's not me, it's the mind, but it is up to me to do something about it
This work is incrementally breaking my identification with the mind
It allows me to proceed with an action without it being attached to a lot of other thoughts
the mind is dreaming up all kinds of seriously helping scenarios
the beauty of my practice is when I am unhappy I can ask myself, "what postulate is not working for you?", and scan through the four basic postulates on my end and the four basic postulates on the side of the "not-self"; alternately, if I'm hung up in a "must/must not" I can likewise scan the four basic postulates and thus resolve it.
these are the basic postulates used to create "not-self-ness"
when one is dedicated to playing a game in life one is also dedicated to ensuring one's "self" and one's "not-selfs" are able to stay in the game and continue to enhance and be an enhancement
help, without taking up time for self-preening, bragging
TO BE CONTINUED
The "to help" button is very hot - I asked my clearing partner to give me a session regarding this.
Okay, done and for now the "to love/enslavement" issue is resolved and I feel a sense of freedom and back on track towards not playing these games anymore, having full understanding of them
He used the "Advanced Clearing Energetics" methodology(by Richard Flook) , which worked very well.

29Dec14 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Listened to Tony Robbins talk about importance of placing creative visualizations into the mind instead of letting the mind rule, and saw that he did this quite assiduously while working as a janitor. A man of great zeal.

That "must love" dramatization was quite uncomfortable and revealing about the negative, degrading aspects of the junior goals package of "to love". True love is unbiased, non-enslaving and not hungry for sensation.

Looking forward to seeing what other personal issues can get quickly resolved using Richard Flook's ACE method. My current drama is suffering from confusion of the mind while putting myself on a steep learning curve and making it too serious, whereas it should be smooth and fun.

Massive gratitude for being given the knowledge of my practices.


"Bring Something into Existence" 360 spherical
a) self - omniscience, clarity of mind
  • see my past track of stupid, compulsive decision making
  • a decision can be a limitation one enforces on oneself, or a sense of expansion
  • letting go of limitations, feeling happier
  • strong gut somatic; wanting vs logical thinking (head somatic); laughing after seeing this struggle for what it is
  • "Must Know" is not necessarily followed up with action, but can be more of a havingness of knowing without any doingnesses; mind is satiated with knowing of effects
  • this goal also satiates a must-be-known for/by my effects postulate; yawns, chuckles
  • envision the creation of a must know/must be known "machine" and a good sensation playing with/in it
  • grandness of halls of knowledge - like a kid in a candy shop; peals of laughter of rejection of a former delusion of importance of must-know; "give it up, colleen"
  • creating a separation between what I know and what another knows - to have a good game
  • stomach hurts now - mind moving off it - let the healing begin :-)
  • a must-know will never get anything good and simple done, mere work being of no sensational interest
  • comparison with David and his slingshot against the ogre and my practice when one develops the skill for it
  • [note to self - make glossary of unknown terms and write out step-by-step action plan]

b) another - happy working with two clients per week
mental projections of fear of flubbing creates stops; need more self-clearing work, which is ongoing
impingement of necessity
peace and joy
simply a doingness and then on with the day :-)

Time's up, end of sit.

"You used to be an expert games player. You are going to be an even greater expert very soon - so great an expert that you will see the futility of them, and so give them up for the infinitely greater joys of nirvana." ... D.H.S.

Level Two Timebreaking
a) scan out the day and select an inocuous incident, then select an object from that scene:  a soup can
it's "scary" how clearly I can see everything as I walk down the grocery store aisles again in my mind - it feels almost as if I am not supposed to being doing that - making it that real again - but here I sit in my room with all the objects surrounding ... maybe next time when I'm in the grocery store I will bring up scenes in this room, lol!
nokidding! Now I'm actually feeling a bit of a panic and a hot flash of clashing postulates. Perhaps, "I must know, I must not know".  I have been fighting the mind on this for so long that to bring it out in the open restimulates old battles. Everytime I start to realize how "there" I am with the scene in the grocery store, I black it out. "How has that been working for you, Colleen?" :-))

It is a new grocery store so I was examining items very closely and thoroughly, especially for the organics. And what is laughingly called "food".

b) select a present time object that is different. How is it different?  a clock
yawns for some reason - brings up a must/must not eat re the soup can (has msg, etc.)
brings up associations with my former lifestyle
 
c) select a present time object that is similar:  a can   "How is it similar?"

Each morning I degrade myself for not doing more of the Level Two; however, reviewing the year I have improved in my practice and gotten a bit wiser about interactions with others - and with my own mind.  It is worthwhile to continue, and with a bit more zeal (been watching Tony Robbins). I have gotten out of this practice what I have put into it, and could get a lot more out of it. This was the year of reaching total certainty of my practice -- of myself, no, but of my practice, yes. And there were many times when I did my practice even when I did not feel "with it" at first, and always ended up glad I did: to know the stillness of a vanished mind ...

"Bring Something into Existence" 360 spherical
a) self - wellness 
  • I might be doing something right, but the mind throws in wrong reasons why too, which muddies the picture
  • supervised water-with-herbs fasting seems important; clear body, clear mind; being complementary with body systems too
  • when I think of body wellness I get scenes of fighting and war and hunting as an "excuse" for not being able in body, so since I'm no longer going to be soldiering or hunting ...   :-))

b) another - wellness

finding pleasure in fruits and leafy greens; riding bike, walks

2-5-7Jan15 Toward Vanishing the Mind
Finished up with chasing after sensation the past two days, and starting the herbal fast along with clearing partner.
The zeal and study and fumbled attempts I once put into finding and perfecting my spiritual practice I'm now experiencing with my SEO research and application.
We both see Advanced Clearing Energetics as an acceptable practice and means of exchange with those who complain of bodily/mental issues.
Sleep kept being interrupted with dreams questioning the importance of living a life of be-do-have and Jim Carey's business card listing him as an agent of travel? Feeling the body shifting into de-tox mode.

5Jan: I''m starting to get wise to the sort of mind candy my business presents, and at the same time I'm seeing how problems I pose to myself about the be-do-have of this business are best resolved when my mind moves off, and then somehow miraculously I simply know the solution. I'm much better off in all ways without this mind. This realization brought me back to my regular a.m. sessions.

This water fast is going better than the last one. Before you fulfill a desire ask youself, "at whose expense ...?"

7Jan: Momma said there would be days like this - slept all day; first time I experienced where I could not give myself a session versus just not wanting to. Mind is hungry but body is not. When I first woke up felt fine, body and soul, but as the mind came in started to notice throat and belly discomfort - AHA! that's my mind then, impinging upon the body. 10:30 pm - I think I can do the session now. Also am enjoying eating out of a bag of frozen organic spinach with my chopsticks :-) Americans are trained to eat foods and herbs and spices that stimulate moreso than those that simply nourish.

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical
a) self - wise to the games
  • I'm becoming less introverted and more able to objectively analyze; always look for simple
  • this exercise is most likely very close to what I'd be doing once dis-embodied
  • mostly wise to the games with my own mind; not pursuing the next shiny object
a) self - a well received internet site
  • games getting lighter as I burn off the mind - winning and losing less of a factor
  • embrace the polarity too - encourage self-enquiry
  • being detached without being at odds with mostly compulsive society
  • that lovely feeling I get when I see someone have a moment of understanding
  • putting a society of unaware compulsive sensation seeking beings around me
  • the art of communicating past the mental circuitry
  • love lets go, grants freedom, does not judge
  • some people want you to tell them what to do and be careful not to be trapped into a role by agreement with their roboticism - better to find out how you can get them to think for themselves - help them to self-enquire
  • their minds are no different from mine - or what mine has been, which I well recall.
  • The more chummy I am with my own mind the less abhorrence (or attraction) I have for the minds of others
a) self - putting the collective mind ball all around me; yawns
  • plugging in, then unplugging, alternating, producing yawns
  • there is a difference between communicating to minds and communicating to the creator of that mind - the one holding it there
a) self - sense of perfect
yawns as I feel the sense of perfect bumping up against not-so-perfect
happy to be working with an SEO master who also practices meditation - how perfect
nice release of energy, feel more in present time, not much thinking, just looking at newness of environment
content with my role - or non-role - in life, nevertheless I am involved in a doingness
sometimes I think that only the ones who have totally absolved their reactive mind are no longer interested in the futility of games here, otherwise the concept of being-doing-having nothing is intolerable to some degree or another because the mind is still being held in suspension (even the E. Tolle types who still have a mind but are very released from it). If there were no minds then there would be no universe.
"How does a sense of perfect seem to you now?" No opposition currently.

b) Another - a sense of inner peace


b) another - No Games State
pan-determined

Level Two: Incident from today involving a woman compared against a present time object, a stuffed bear
Many realizations of what I was doing and I would have let this small incident slide by if I had not taken it up, and I also see my track with this sort of behavior, then see my dad doing that, and his family,etc., then seeing more of my track, then laughing about it; yawns
Running similarities

a) self - food
processed food is a sensation harmonic of ripe fruits and herbs

b) another - maple syrup
body prefers fresh to cooked, but can be tricked

Fasting on water with lemon juice and maple syrup until the herbs come in. Extra dose of Lipodrene. Blood pressure down, otherwise feeling fine. "...And then there were none ..."

"Bring Something into Existence" 360 spherical
If my mind feels distracted I begin this exercise with perceiving and touching solid objects around me. Mind bolsters itself with more mass - it seems to love mass of all types - the mass of problems it contains, held in a continuous suspended loop for my viewing pleasure. ;-)

a) self - a beautiful challenge
  • feels causative because I know I'm giving it to myself
  • if only I could get my mind out of the business and operate from a higher mind
  • this exercise is likened to throwing a dog a bone so that one can get on undisturbed
  • taking the challenge to a higher, more complementary level, not losing sight of that
  • mind still operating in the force band, however much lighter than when I first started this practice
  • mind seems to have a need to set up for failure, or getting nowhere, so as to insure to not run out of problems; the mind WANTS a roller coaster loop; "everything has to be hard and difficult" - gives one a good "story"; screwing up is just as important as winning - both necessary for continuum of the games
  • laughing and yawning off the delusion and associated energies and present-time environment coming more into focus; perceiving and touching objects with renewed interest
  • mind struggling with must create/must not create compulsion re "to create" (usual somatics)
"How does a beautiful problem seem to you now?"   mind is now further away - not impinging

b) another - having a problem
I am amazed at how minds are so similar across the board; whatever is in someone else's mind is most likely in mine too
becomes more impersonal to me - don't take it personally thus easier to be complementary
It's becoming not a problem; stop wondering; there is no reason why, it just is and everything follows from that
I see another not having to make anything into a problem
Life is simple

a) self - a simple life
unwinding the complications I got myself into
just do this and get that result, but it has to come from within, not without necessarily - to be internalized
my life is much simpler than it used to be and the parts that are complicated are being worked through, such as clearing the body of complications through fasting, while clearing the mind
I don't think the mind wants a simple life, but sometimes it likes to clear the game board - or gesso the canvas - to create what it hopes to be an even more beautifully complex arrangement
a giving up of things, a re-training, steps to be taken to re-establish natural simplicity
I do my practices and when done correctly, a simple/fun activity
my busines a simple/fun activity - take it one step at a time - also a re-training of the mind
"How does a simple life seem to you now?" Within reach

b) another - a simple life
Life seems to become simpler when one establishes activities as routines

Finished the bag of frozen spinach and spinach broth - feel perfectly alert.
Listening to Jed McKenna:
"It is your show.It is your universe.There is no one else here, just you, and nothing is being withheld from you. You are completely on your own. Everything is available for direct knowing. No one else has anything you need. No one else can lead you, pull you, push you or carry you.No one else is necessary to your success. It cannot be simpler, you are asleep and you can wake up. If you understand that it’s the best news you could possibly receive. Rejoice! The way is open unto thee."   Jed McKenna 

"Bring Something into Existence" 360 spherical

a) self - waking up from a dream
  • in order to have the experience of waking up I had to "know" something to wake up from
  • in order to not have the experience of waking up, what did I do?
  • burning off the mind seems the only valid activity
  • that feeling of relief when I can admit to myself that I hate my life
  • the importance of experiencing emotions gets re-evaluated - where there's emotions there is a postulate
  • looking at importances within the dream - the more I'm willing to be the other the less important I need to make them - the sense that it is all me; therefore I can choose to be complementary with the all-me
  • yawns; identification with body is a plight; what am I without this body? In more trouble than you want to know - keep body until done :-)
  • making the dream better is for the mind - to satiate the mind while I do my activities of clearing it
  • scanning all the stories I've created, laughing off delusions of their importance
  • it's more of an unravelling of the dream than a sudden waking up
  • part of waking up is realizing I can by postulate create any sensation I please; remember, the desire came first and then the postulate to satisfy the desire
  • "How does waking from the dream seem to you now?" Seems more like a candyshop of aesthetic sensation .... continue
  • okay, now I'm outside the dream and perceive how I am holding it in place - by my own doing

b) another - doing Level Two routinely
yawns

time's up -- touch things

Back on water and lemon juice/maple syrup and feeling alert.


"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) self - food (why fight it?)
  • interesting, after the raw lemon pie my mind is craving raw smoothies - that was after I told it it could have whatever it wanted.
  • I doing my best to recreate the sensations, as if the food item were really here now
  • I'm enjoying this :-) All the motivational speakers talk about getting command power over the mind, reforming the mind, mastering the mind/body
  • if I refuse my mind, it simply grows noisy (or gets suppressed to pop out later)
  • I think people are basically familiar with their minds and it is just that people don't have the data on how they (yes, they) created it, and so to neatly dispense with it
"How does food seem to you now?" I feel full

b) another - creating pepperoni pizza
  • plain, simple, tried and true, good
  • okay, done

a) self - hunger
  • I guess it's related to greed; realize I can create hunger; yawns, huge yawns
  • like a black hole sucking in all the decaying debris created from life's games friction
  • I have a "must know" on eating and a must-be-known regarding creating things to be eaten
"How does hunger seem to you now?" subsided

b) another - Marge creating her living room exactly the way she wants it
she's hanging curtains
done

Level Two - Getting Comfortable with Handling the Past

Scan the last 24 hours:  - past object - black gloves/ present object heater; "How is it different?"

This is so gratifying - I don't know why I don't initiate doing this more frequently, but I'm not kidding myself because I realize this exercise is still very much touch and go for me and not always a walk in the park.
Scenes from kindergarten; the problem is that as a child I was very serious and insecure, thus even the most inocuous things impinged upon me more than they should have - 
ouch, that was tougher than I thought it would be

black gloves / curtain "How is it different?" then black gloves/paper towel roll

It seems this current scene with the gloves attaches to earlier deary childhood scenes of associations with winter gear, for example, my mom putting clips on my gloves, losing gloves, frozen fingers, etc., etc. - importances I guess I have not let go of yet. So I let this all come up; nevertheless I stick with the current scene when doing the comparisons.

Felt some quite uncomfortable, but not unfamiliar, somatics, like being in a pressure cooker. I believe it is only things like that which makes this exercise difficult and hard to persist with. I'm not very fond of that pressure cooker somatic and in fact am getting quite tired of experiencing it. However, calm now and the fact that this stuff turns on and then dissipates means I am making some progress.

Similarities: black gloves / navy blue gloves  "How are they similar?"

Tears of letting go; grateful; streams of dreary childhoods, both caused and experienced.
I can let go of it now and it does not have to remain a pattern of behavior and a reason for be-do-have.
One of the most cathartic sessions I've had in awhile. What an enslaver love can become.

Am actually craving a snack which is an indicator I need to do some good measure of "RI" Mind is triggered to attempt to fill the loss of importance.

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) self - playing in snow
  • feel very detached ... I cannot think of any activity that is not done to satiate the mind - by the majority
  • Ah, I see there is one child that stayed home and meditated, self-enquiring :-) a wise child
  • and that too is a "story"; turtles on top of turtles

b) another - doing Level Two
  • setting up, eating, shuffling papers, notes handy, well rested, not sick, scanning for a scene ...
  • feel connected
  • relationships and interactions go so much better when people take time to gather insight

a) self - sauna and cold dip
It's still a mystery to me how one creates a free-will being out of thin air

b) another - perfect
eventually we all unravel ourselves and I think I have simply been in this universe quite a long time compared with others who have not yet decided to call it quits and get the heck out of here.

End of sit - good session

10-11-13Jan15 Toward Vanishing the Mind
Mt. 5:45 paraphrase: The sun rises on both good and bad people. And it rains on the ones who do right and on the ones who do wrong.

Just woke up out of a very interesting dream with Bill Murray (starred in "Groundhog Day").
 
"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical  (until no more change occurs)
This a.m. someone msg'd me telling me they need "immediate cash" and before answering them I decided to put that all around me to see how that felt for me first, and to clear out my biases concerning cash. It stirs up emotions and somatics, etc.

a) self - immediate cash
  • The mind loves a problem, right? The mind can only "solve" a problem by referring to its memory within the context of the remaining postulate sets it is allowed to operate within. I as a being can of course simply have cash (or anything) materialize, but the mind cannot do that, thus it has to figure-figure-figure.
  • The emotions that come up are from past games, as indicators of how the game went -  bad to "meh" to good.

The mind can project whole future scenarios adapted from scenes from the being's past (or past of "other" beings, there being an acknowledged cross-sharing of memory). The mind sorts through and presents scenarios saying this should not occur and likewise scenarios with equal reason why this should occur, or how this "should-not-occur" scenario could be corrected and made "alright". So the mind is also capable of mocking up new and revised scenarios based upon its remaining postulate options and access to memory banks (most of it below consciousness).

This subject ("immediate cash") also turns on projections of futures - creating possible futures of be-do-have.

The problem with this sort of mocking up (i.e., creating it and holding it around me) is that whenever I take my attention off of it, I have to make effort to put it there again - to image it. As soon as I take my attention off of it ... poof! 

The mind craves a "story" about this over simply putting cash all around me - it wants to fulfill the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh and the pridefulness of life. The phrase, "immediate cash" seems to equate to "immediate gratification" - on a via.

The mind is also generating "reasons why", but I'm not buying into it and continue to put the subject all around me. Finally I could not hold it there anymore and burst out laughing while still trying to put all the sense of urgency into it that was originally conveyed to me by my associate....continue.... it's like what Dennis says about realizing the futility of games and losing interest in playing them, and these desires of the mind that got stirred up with this exercise are starting to wear thin.....continue....

many yawns later - mind starting to lighten up and include cash for many, then for all; importance starting to shift from the cash all around me to the one who is doing the exercise...continue.

When I try to hold it there with conscious intensity a sense of silliness pervades and I break into laughter but I want to keep going and see what happens .... it is also within the scope of the mind to laugh off the seriousness of cash so I'm going to consider that as "change occurring" and continue on.

Suddenly got much needed insight into some goings-on in the SEO realm (my business). Oddly, I also am in a place now where even the "To Know" matrix looks distant and rather unimportant - as it should be in the end. Everything I've ever read or written or believed can all go up in smoke.

Now the importance is shifting to must have something around me; in fact, it seems terribly important and a sense of panic if there is not anything around me. It is as if each cash bill around me is an entry point into a scene, a world, a universe - my "treasure".

Now, to the mind the configuration (i.e., aesthetics) of the cash bills seems important and thus you can see how my mind leads me like a cow that has a ring in its nose...continue. Aesthetics is also within the scope and sensory urges of the mind.

Now there is a feeling I caused "others" who also now must have something all around them (such as "immediate cash", which started this). My creation is likewise abberrated and I'm feeling sorrow and shame.

But, wait, no, it's all folding in on me now, going within as if it were never there and it disappears and it was all like a dream. Everytime I put it all around me ("immediate cash") it collapses in on me. Well, that is "change" too ... continue. I can't put it up anymore - very difficult to keep it around me; it's gone for now and I'll call that a "done".

Took 3 days on and off to get to this point - very hot topic on many planets.

Ending this page and starting a new page.

In the last session it was revelatory for me to see that seeing my cause of local abberration and feeling the shame of it is also of the mind and I need no longer dwell on it as I have been.

Am studying the skill and art of memes and intend to have fun with it. Herbs arrived.

"Repair of Importance"
Walk around touching the solid-seeming creations and that suffices today. 

Level Two of doing what the mind does - bring the past into the present and put it back into the past after thorough treatment.

a) Select a non-significant past scene : examining tree bark
b) Select an object from this scene : tree bark
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object : nylon comforter
d) How is it different? 
  • I find that I can take the scene of the tree bark and make it small or large, bring it in towards me or away from me; I can also overlay it upon the comforter, still seeing both at the same time.
  • Some charge when comparing the fibers, and this has come up before related to fibers/weaves - as if there is a "do not look there" command bumping up against a "must know"; aesthetic revulsion re broken strands and weaves; desire for smooth line and form: broken lines = bad feng shui = miserable, says the mind :-)
  • charge dissipating and beginning to question the importance of it; have this feeling a woman gets when she sees a cat's claws coming dangerously too close to her nylon stockings.
  • big aesthetic importance on variations of smooth and shiny and soft and fluffy and how they can be made to complement each other; distate for not smooth, not shiny, not soft, not fluffy; okay to be hard if smooth and shiny - like a polished stone; okay to be not shiny, not smooth if fluffy and soft, like a cotton ball -
  • I should someday make a separate list of all my aesthetic likes and dislikes. I recall as a child I could not stand to touch anything that was rough, and that was how I got out of folding the clothes. I have to thank my mother for never really using force, or trying too hard to prevent me from pursuing my interests. She merely enjoyed discounting things, making nothing of things all across the board and I simply chose to take offense to it, whereas now I see it as a passed opportunity for me to wake up.
  • This exercise is making me take a second look at all of this, and to question if I still really want to make it that important. This aesthetic consideration still harbors in my unconscious but I feel like I'm starting to take it apart and null it, to take the charge out of it. I see a time when none of this will be of fixed importance.

Repeat c) with different present time object: blinds
and d) "How is it different?"
the tree bark in that scene is starting to dissolve, as if there is no importance to hold it together anymore
I can bring it up again and then it dissolves

Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.  rough candle, another tree, another tree
f) How is it similar?
yawns, starting to laugh

Repair of Importance:

a) self - putting a forest all around me and holding it there
yawns; this exercise also trains one to see without using eyes' forward only vision.
b) another - a turtle
done

I can very much appreciate the zen-ness of these exercises - doing consciously and deliberately what the mind is known to do unconsciously, automatically. Not fighting with the mind, and taking over its automaticity.

Instead of doing the cognitive Repair of Importance, which seems to take me a much longer time to complete than it does for others who do this practice (a number which is unknown to me - 3? 5?) - although I enjoy it to the very end when my mind goes temporarily quiet - I decided to do the "Perceptual RI", hoping it will not take as long to lubricate the mind, enabling me to have a smooth Level Two session more often than I am now. I acknowledge that RI is great, but it is a holding pattern and I don't want to get stuck in that holding pattern.

Perceptual RI - walk around and perceive and touch things until no more change occurs
did this for one hour

Level Two - practice timebreaking objects

a) Select a non-significant past scene: using emoticons
b) Select an object from this scene: an emoticon
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object: bluebird; jacket 
d) How is it different?(Repeat until no more change, using either the same or different present time objects.)
  • yawns; objects in present time can be used to anchor the pleasant memories/sensations, and that seems to be its sole importance - to keep me stuck in the "good times"
  • a sense that "suns" and "bluebirds" will go on forever in this neverending universe; I'm okay with that
  • also what is coming up is the desire to use objects to create effects - the sun emoticon creates a happy effect and the bright blue ski jacket creates an uptone effect; this also breaks the fixedness of past associations of skiing in the sunlight

Then: 

e) Find an object in present time that is similar to the object in the past scene: round disk; penny; sticker
f) How is it similar? (Repeat until no more change)
sometimes I use happy emoticons even when I don't feel like it - just to be social - but it also cheers me up
feeling carefree right now, gratitude - I can deliberately take images from the mind and bring them in close to me


Then:
repeat c) and d).  Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.
done, yay!

g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one.
Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.
not done, time running out - do RI

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical

a) self - a forest
I loved it too much and it went out in a blaze of glory :-) haha
b) another - grapefruits



I think the real test of whether I've truly mastered Level Two will be when I'm in the throes of a Level Three session and have to drop back and run Level Two on the incident because it is not timebreaking.

Perceptual Repair of Importance - 1.5 hours
Theoretically, it wouldn't be "here" if it did not have some importance so this exercise suffices and in fact is one of the exercises used for people who have slid into psychosis and helps them pull out of it - it's that powerful. I have a girlfriend who has no knowledge of things like this but intuitively designed her own practice doing Ho'opopono and walking around touching things and it keeps her steady.

30 minutes, started laughing and realized how silly my previous attractions/aversions to textures and wondering how my mind can get so bound up with something like that. Touching things got me to feeling mentally lighter and more of a fullness, but after the laughter immediately follows the tears and a feeling of being trapped, trying to escape and nothing I'm touching is helping, as if the very fabric itself is attacking me (probably related to childhood incident, seeing scenes, and the association between love and entrapment).

A feeling that one cannot escape their past and that I am supposed to be this way, that it somehow serves a purpose. Ah, yes, it is supposed to be another marker to draw me towards the original incident, to never let me forget it. It seems important to keep it important. I hope that is so that I can someday find my way back home, and the thought of "home" makes me sad because I am convinced I lost it, like a bird kicked out of its nest.

Then I see an array, a framework (the universe) and know I am responsible for it and feel shame that I did that not only for myself but for others too. I feel very sorry, but I can't hardly see how I could have done anything differently other than what I did - continue this trajectory until I hit a dead end. Isn't that what every being does? Yet I know I could have dead-ended myself by intention - if only I had stopped long enough to take stock...well, I'm doing that now and I better get on with it :-)

Level Two - stripping the fixed importance out of the past
Just because we don't want to see the past does not mean we don't see it on some level. What if we covered it with blackness so that it would not trouble us anymore? Like Dr. Phil, I'd have to ask, "How has that been working for you?" I stare at my feet with a silly look on my face, "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time ...".

This is where my respect and gratitude for the Buddha comes in, for he, with great intention dismissed the blackness and did not flinch at the scenes his mind presented to him - his demons from the past that had been there the whole time while he starved himself towards purity and release. I see no other way for myself either (minus the starving regimen), and that is only the preparatory work.

a) Select a non-significant past scene: trimming a bush
b) Select an object from this scene: a green leaf twig/clippers/mulch
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object: heater/straw/paper towels/flyer  
d) How is it different?
the reason for this question is that it seems the mind seeks first for similarities and will grasp onto any similarity, down to the colors, outlines, patterns, etc. (at least my mind does)
This exercise causes me to look around my space and see all the things I consider important.

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar? 
okay, done, now do some cognitive RI
I decided to do it with an attitude of gratitude

a) self - a forest
spying is a must-not-be-known game (I must know them to see if they are knowing me or not)
grateful that I can create things and put them all around me

b) another -  a desert
grateful for another's ability to create

Perceptual Repair of Importance - walk around touching things until no more change occurs
I did not time it exactly but took about 1.5 hours - got distracted and started dusting too. As with the past two sessions I started laughing, then crying, but this time the tears were accompanied by, not shame, but a wave of gratitude for everyone and everything and I felt so released from the critical chatter of the mind - a big win for me and I would like to continue doing this exercise.

Yesterday I did not finish off with enough RI and and could tell because I had an unusual craving for cooked food and cooked some rice to satiate the mind. Looking back, I should have simply done some more RI, but mind had the rulership. I even feel gratitude re my current spiritual condition with my mind and with others.


Level Two - To learn how to consciously bring up a scene and then put it away, doing consciously what the mind does automatically

a) Select a non-significant past scene: dusting snow off the car
b) Select an object from this scene: snow/scraper/windowwiper/mirror
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object: straw basket/fan/grapefruit
d) How is it different?
  • I see the scene of clearing the snow and have it right up against the straw basket and there is a bit of charge on the orderliness and functionality of the basket compared with the frustration I experienced in the snow scene of reaching the top of the car and having to clean the windshield more than once;
  • wanting to please someone in the scene compared with simply pleasing myself with the use of the basket;
  • I denied myself the aesthetic appreciation of the snow, but I feel it now and am comparing it with the aesthetic appreciation of the basket, but simple unbiased gratitude prevails for both;
  • matter is passive, it just sits there and is no problem until one decides it is, based upon the strength of their importance
  • if there is any "must" or compulsion in my activity it becomes more of a strain and I'm not as efficient in the action
  • I also put the scene in different locations and made it large and small and I detected that scenes have a certain mass and energy (= importance) in addition to the importance of whatever postulates are involved
  • in the final run it is the putting up of opposing postulates that removes the importance of all scenes the mind holds onto
  • all personalities are an algorithmic accumulation of postulates - "if this, then that ..."
  • all matter, besides what importance I agree to attach to it ... all matter is generated out of life putting up opposing postulates; this agrees with Walter Russell's "Russellian Science"
Finished here and taking a break to eat and touch things

Repeat c) and d) until no more change: snow<>fan
"How is it different?"
  • yawning, chuckling
  • I can view the snow scene as exterior to it or through my eyes as I saw it then (interior)
  • both the snow and the fan (by its bright color) have a 'must-be-known' quality
  • bored with that, after some yawns, etc.
snow <> grapefruit
  • initially, it feels degrading to be the effect of matter (particles) and to make them important esp. when I am sure at one time I could simply bring something into existence, more solid than anything that exists today
  • the lie or illusion of this creation due to past scenes being attached to it
  • what Solomon said, "there is no new thing under the sun" is literally true
  • now I feel very grateful to have had all this play and experience/experiments
  • I also see when I forgive myself my self-centeredness I can forgive others too
Then: 

e) Find an object in present time that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar?
snow <> snow from freezer/pile of salt/stevia powder
yawns and everything in environment suddenly becomes sharp and clear
 
End of sit - walk around and touch things

19-20Jan15 Toward Vanishing the Mind
Yesterday the usual perceptual RI. Felt very apathetic and asked clearing partner to give me a session. He used the ACE modality he is testing and it worked quite well and think it could adequately replace "Level 4" style and "Root Healing" and eager to test it out with other issues. The heavy feeling of apathy got resolved plus I had a more clear idea of how to conduct my business. As usual the upset gets traced back to incidents before even matter existed. It's :all there in the mind waiting to be tapped.
Also since yesterday's session I became more aware of a certain mental habit.

"Bring Something into Existence" - 360 spherical
Enter the session with an attitude of gratitude

a) self - a forest
  • At first it started out with heavy importance and I got up and touched things while holding this in mind and then that turned into hearty gales of laughter at the delusion of the importance of anything in this universe.
  • why would I as a non material being consider anything related to the body of importance?
  • why would anything be more important than the work I'm now doing?
  • yes, there is a thirst for sensation, especially if aesthetics are involved - a beautiful body, a beautiful table of food - trapped within a golden prison of my own desires and it is never enough to satiate the mind
  • I am here yet I am not here; to be here without being invested is the trick
  • a realization that now that it is not so important I can have whatever I want, if I still want it, but, hey ....
  • also I saw a lifestyle that I would trade in all my possessions for ... so they did not seem so important when I touched them - as they did yesterday
  • I would give up my little "paradise" for a better one that I can envision

b) another - a completed work
actually completing a cycle of action
laughing, but gratitude also


Level Two - learning to null the past
a) Select a non-significant past scene: pruning a tree
b) Select an object from this scene: pruning clippers
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object: heater 
d) How is it different?
  • starting to notice how easily I manufacture significances to be-do-have instead of simply being-doing-having
  • and opposing that is a protest on making things important, but the only reason these two objects exist for me is due to assigned importance; yawns
  • using the several different present time objects is better than using only one
  • yawns, grogginess and apathy starting to lift; 
  • no more change

Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene: scissors
f) How is it similar?
felt relief - much easier to do

No more change.

22Jan15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Now that I'm relying more on the perceptual Repair of Importance to lubricate the core practice I get this realization that I would give everything up for a villa in the Caribbean; however, after a few more rounds even that seems less important, or a made-up importance for a made up person/ego, for I am truly a contrived thing.

Knowing that everything is a lie how could I ever run a business or attempt to be-do-have anything or anyone? Yet, I know I am capable of that - but it seems so silly. How can one feed and shelter the body by simply being? I don't think life works that way ... the joke is on me when I see the cabinet door with the handles that I created at the beginning of time nonetheless....and here they still are. Nothing new here, folks, move along. Such a sad little being I am having accomplished nothing more than that, and I am reduced to being a slave to what was originally created, to my own postulates, and the fantasy of "our" agreements.

As I continue with the exercise I wonder why I make such a big drama, and I feel more in present time with the objects and can even take an interest in them if I choose: the heater is simply a heater without the burden of the past...and, yes, it is "here" because I am/we are holding it here by agreement. I'm cool on that...for now, but I wonder what the world will be like when the mind is gone like a swan.

I am okay with operating a business on a be-do-have basis, and in fact it could be a lot of fun - that's all games were meant to be, nothing more.

It took me about one hour of walking around touching things to come to peace.

Level Two - remove past importances from present time objects through conscious comparison of past with present
The mind is always unconsciously, automatically making comparisons of past with present, attaching past importances to present time objects and persons. When I interact with a red-haired woman how many red-haired women do I unknowingly see behind her? I knew a man who whenever he saw a blond haired woman he would see the scene of him walking into the bedroom on his blonde haired wife and his best friend. Everytime I see a German Shephard I see the one that unexpectedly killed our beloved dog, and my breathing changes. Level Two and Level Three will go far to take the sting out of the past. In fact; however was a blessed memory that brought me to this point of self-clearing.


a) Select a non-significant scene from the past: someone opening a door
b) Select an object from this scene: door handle
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object: stuffed teddy bear  
d) How is it different? 
  • as I'm ticking off the many differences some slight similarities intrude - of color and hardness; yawns
  • teddy bears don't hurt people - people hurt people; people are stupid, ignorant, uncaring, not in present time, fixated, full of excuses, vengeful, ridiculing - and that describes me too in that moment in that scene :-))) 
  • [Note: I decided to break the rule and choose a recent scene with some significance.]
  • It brings up the subject of surprise and I see there are some surprises I do not like

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.  

Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar?
Done

End of sit - walk around and touch things to repair havingness

22Jan15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Clearing partner gave me a modified "ACE" session to help me address the mental mass around the throat.
What became clear is the extreme polarity of communication, and that now feels de-polarized. The second issue after that was the perversity of laughter, the ridicule as a habitual way of interacting, and that also began to feel less important, and I'm still processing that. Needless to say, I'm now a bit  confused about laughter.

There is still some mental mass associated with the throat and it has different sorts of scenes attached to it and we will have another session to address it. It became clear to me during the session that last lifetime there had been some recreational use of laughing gas or some type of laughter inducing substance.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG-t7RjUjM8
 
Ended the session feeling more sober and reflective.

I probably have a more complete history of this universe - the trends that led to life on this planet and current trends of the human mind - than most people, plus I am much better educated in the theory of the mind and the being that created it who is now the effect of it, and I have some simple practices that can resolve the mind. So, I am not simply intellectualizing the data.

All of the above gives me an advantage towards making a determination to not be a Repeater in the same fashion I have been. Not to mention I have a clearing partner who is likewise resolving his mind. These are the best of times for me.

Level Two - steps towards handling the past
a) Select a non-significant past scene: 
b) Select an object from this scene.
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object.  
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)
d) How is it different?

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar?

Repeat e) and f) until no more change, then repeat c) and d).  Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.

g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one.
Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.

Okay, that went smoothly and I'm touching things.

Bold words for such a meek girl, crawling along at a snail's pace; however this is the foundational level and the good progress of all other levels depends upon doing this thoroughly and correctly and achieving the end result. Once these two practices are thoroughly drilled in Levels Three - Five should run smoothly.

I think the whole purpose of any meditation is not only to burn off the mind, but also to have some life changing realizations, until the stories of my dramas no longer trouble me.

Perceptual Repair of Importance
Notice that laughter has not been turning on and the exercise takes less time now. I do believe my clearing partner deserves my thanks.

Level Two - taking control of the activities of the mind

a) Select a non-significant past scene: walking in the snow


b) Select an object from this scene: snow on a tree
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object: heater 
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)
d) How is it different?
  • yawns when I put the two side by side; emotion of sadness turns on, and feeling of degradation towards myself and regarding others
  • Trying something different - placing an image of the heater in the outdoor scene from this a.m. - yawns
  • This practice sharpens the recall ability - objects can become quite detailed; yawns
  • I like the yawns because they let me know I'm doing the exercise and it is working
  • To drop the body from cold in such a beautiful snowy scene is acceptable, if one had it to choose :-))
  • The full appreciation of things is dimmed by certain nurtured characters from the past. 
  • Obviously, this exercise also informs me that I can see things with eyes opened or closed
  • The difference between the present time object and the past object is that as soon as I take my attention off of the past object and put it on the present time object the past object vanishes and I have to put it back there again. However, if I am overwhelmed by a past scene I hardly see objects in the present - like walking through two overlapping dreams. And if I take off my glasses the heater becomes blurry but the scene I'm holding next to it stays as sharp as it was.
  • Right now I have this "I am that" perspective: "Am I a joker?" "Yes, I am that"; "Am I a hater?" "Yes, I am that"; "Am I an apathetic person?" "Yes, I am that". I can see having been all of these and none of these, but it seemed cathartic at the moment to put emphasis on acceptance of the negative aspects.

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Done

Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene: freezer snow
f) How is it similar?
done, and I also scanned the room to see if anything else felt similar to snow, such as color, texture, shine...

Repeat e) and f) until no more change, then repeat c) and d).  Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.

g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one.
Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.

Continue the exercise, using more and more significant past objects, until no more change occurs with any past object you care to select. Now do the exercise with past persons. Select them one at a time, and complete the exercise with each person. Continue until no more change occurs with any past person you care to select.

More from Dennis:
"As you do this exercise, and the compulsive games condition between you and your mind begins to break down, you’ll find that it becomes progressively easier to place the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects side by side for comparison purposes, until you are quite easily able to view both the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects simultaneously. You are learning to Timebreak. 

By the time the exercise has gone null you’ll be an expert Timebreaker. Don’t rush the exercises; nothing is to be gained by so doing. Once started on a past object or person you should persist with the object or person. To change around all the time will not make it easier for you, you are just prolonging the agony - and the exercise. Run the changes out as you go, that is always the fastest way.

Remember, you are running out a compulsive games condition between you and your own past. The exercise continues to produce changes as long as this compulsive games condition is highly charged; as the compulsive games condition quietens down, so the exercise ceases to produce change. You end up feeling quite different about your past - quite friendly towards it - as well as being a competent Timebreaker, and so ready for Level Three.

If Level Two has been properly done then Level Three will be easy. It's just a romp around your past; learning your skills and applying them. However, if you’ve skidded off Level Two and hope to find salvation in Level Three I have some bad news for you. Either nothing will happen, or all the things you hoped to avoid will come back and haunt you at Level Three. And, what is more, you’ll be stuck with them from here on out. You’ve either ‘cooled’ this compulsive games condition you are in with your past at Level Two, or you haven’t. Level Three is no place to be playing this sort of game. Simply because while you are still playing this game you cannot effectively Timebreak, so the exercises will not benefit you. So, if in doubt about whether Level Two is finished, then it's not finished and you must go back and finish it. Then, and only then, will Level Three help you.

Once Level Two is complete the being is able to comfortably place ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects side by side for comparison purposes. Indeed, it will be found that the comparison has become largely automatic. Once he so places them the comparison occurs almost instantly. This is as it should be. A being cannot view through time; this is an illusion. He can only view across a distance. Everything you view, you view right now. The action of simultaneously viewing ‘then’ and ‘now’ breaks the illusion of time. It literally breaks time - Timebreaking. While the being continues to try and compare the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects while still considering them in different moments in time he never achieves a full comparison; thus, he never achieves a true evaluation of their relative importance, and the ‘then’ object still retains a residual command power over him. Once Timebroken, the command power of the ‘then’ object is vanished forever. This cannot be done until the illusion of time is broken: the illusion of time is broken once it is done. There’s nothing mystical about this; its all good, solid natural law. How can his past influence him if his past is now in the present? Flip... See it?

At Level Two the being only has to think of something in order to have mental mass flying round his ears."

30Jan15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

How can snow be so fluffy-dry and wet at the same time? My infant g'daughter looks at water and soap bubbles as if she had never in her existence seen them and I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I see not much difference between her and my little dog but have hopes that someday she will choose to be a wise and sentient being, not chasing after sensation.

And speaking of sensation and the mind, my mind is vanishing in layers, by degrees and now the mind can tackle "better" "bigger" problems and I am frankly pleased with that, although I realize I need to continue to take the command and drag the mind into these sessions. In the end everyone walks away happy or seduced, however one wishes to view it.

Today the chant was, "alright I'll do this stupid session just so I can say I did it and then get back to the exciting creative stuff I'm doing and all the learning that surrounds me". So many beings in Scientology I observed would reach a point where they could now go out and triple their business and income and viewed their sessions as simply a vehicle to be able to play a bigger and better game. "Native State" or nirvana was not the aim, as it has been with me since I saw those concepts. I too am now in a better position to build a good business foundation towards a better income, etc., etc. - the work I have done allows me to get to know my creative side and the mental opposers to that. Often, in the joy of semi-creating my little Instagram photos for my business account I suddenly feel a strong discomfort of emotion and heat and have to get up and touch things and stretch until my mind calms down. Yet, so important that I do this because I have stopped myself, suppressed myself for so long regarding the postulates to create and to be created, so that I am happy of sorts that I do get these mental disturbances when I'm creating .... and can still continue, pushing through the barriers.

The last lifetime I remember being devoted to creation was in the 1700's, and even then it was tough because women were supposed to be in the kitchen, etc., so I turned my create towards giving radical dinner parties, inviting the best minds and artists of the time. Eventually I was able to get some of my musical compositions published, but I left that lifetime mostly thinking that I should support the creations of others, not of mine own.

I have Sri Ramana Maharshi's little book, "Who am I?" and reading the first few pages of it I decided to ask the question, "what am I?". As usual the mind answered up and the change from before was that this time I could look at what the mind presented and feel the negatives and then calmly agree, "yes, I am that" ... no argument nor rejection or resistance. This went on for awhile and all the negatives ran themselves to the ground, but what stopped me cold with this process was when the mind presented a young woman who was a pure and innocent soul and not at all negative. It makes me sad to say i could not see how "I am that" and I had to say "I am not that". But it does not make sense to me: how can I not be something or someone that my mind presents to me? My conclusion, and discussing this with my clearing partner, is that I have in recent existences, especially last lifetime, been hot and heavy into some very non-life goals games, and have stirred up the memories of the Great Separation which now sit heavily on me, for having chosen to dramatize it in the way that I did. 

The only reason I can think why memories of all the non-life, non-complementary acts I have done and experienced should be so important to hold onto is that they are the breadcrumbs that led me back to the basic incident which must be confronted and the structure of it viewed and worked over until the very mind itself has nothing to hang itself upon. Logically and analytically taken apart.  It has been this holding of a self-view of what is anathema to me as a being that caused me to ask the questions and do the seeking.

Consider this, if you are finally aware of forever holding onto that basic incident of separation then you must seek that source and the being who sourced it and take down whatever separates you from what you think is not you. The universe will be the way it is as long as beings believe themselves to be the created ones and having a "Creator" if the truth is they are still that creator.

Thank you, Ramana Maharshi :-))))

Perceptual Repair of Importance
The laughter of rejection and the subsequent tears are now lighter and move along swiftly. I have yet to dispel all the delusions of the mind. As soon as I start bringing up my awareness by touching things I am struck by the delusion of it - its fixed importance and thus the laughter, then the tears of degradation caused by refusing to know in order to gratify sensation lust. For me it is mostly aesthetic sensation, is what it ultimately reduces to.

Level Two - or how I learned to manage the contents of my mind
A big swell of resistance regarding this task, but here we go:


a) Select a non-significant past scene:  grocery shopping

b) Select an object from this scene: bag of grapefruit

c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object:  bottle
d) How is it different?
  • it's brown, has a label all around it, has a white lid, plastic, glass, lots of lettering and design, flat bottom, herbs inside (mind is at same time presenting similarities, such as the grapefruits also have a label on them, they are also shiny, and also "healthful", etc.).  It is smaller than the bag of g-fruit and it is not yellow, nor is it encased in a net bag and it has a hardness that the g-fruit does not have (I do however see some yellow tint in the label and in the brown color)
  • I can shrink the bag of g-fruit down to a very small size, and I'm laughing that I can do that - it's funny to make the g-fruit smaller than the small bottle, I'm getting a kick out of it :-)
  • And now the bag of g-fruit is larger than the whole yard and all around me too and for some reason I find that quite hilarious, like some former delusion and/or limitation is being addressed here
  • "Oh, genii, I would like a g-fruit." "Yes, Master - whooosh!", "!?!! Um, genii, could you make that smaller - a lot smaller?"
  • The importance of sizing and ratio comes up... I'm going to create a bear, hmmm, now what size should this bear be??
  • All this gets resolved or worked out and changed up within the interactions of to know and to be known and their opposers.
  • hollow, cylindrical, brittle, non-porous, smooth, fired/molded under heat, hollow, flat on top and bottom, singular, specific letterings and images on the label, pure white, neck of bottle, not bulky, light weight in the hand, gold gilt, translucent ...
  • then a realization and big yawns

Okay, I'm done, gotta scoot, in a good mood.

31January15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Yesterday partner gave me another clearing session and as usual we "timebroke" some negative aspects of childhood incident. Afterwards I had a feeling of being happy to be here and happy to have been born and feeling celebratory about my upcoming birthday.

Level Two, or how to end an exo-political/economic/religious compulsive games condition  :-))
a) Select a non-significant past scene: recent video on 15" screen
b) Select an object from this scene: the screen
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object:  a large black screen
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)
d) How is it different?
  • mind is actively, compulsively looking for similarities
  • yawns in succession as I keep asking myself, "is there a blue sky there?" no.  "are there silver dots there?" no "are there telephone lines there?" no , etc. this produces good yawns and sort of a budding realization of how my mind seems to be attracted to dramatizing scary stories
  • then I remember yesterday's ACE session when I stood at the outside of The Creation thinking that it would be important to experience all of this the way I am now experiencing it, but even that viewpoint was an experience in itself.
  • Take the computer screen - when I break away from the present computer screen all the scenes behind it, what will be of that computer screen once all adhering computer screens from other scenes are removed? Will it appear more solid or will it appear sort of misty, tenuous? Right now, when a past scene is broken off, things tend to appear brighter and more solid as I feel more "here".
  • Question everything.
  • "How does that scene seem to you now?" Not important

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene: computer screen
f) How is it similar?

Okay, done

Walk around and touch things

1Feb15Toward Vanishing the Mind

I say, why would I want to get rid of my "best friend", my mind? I'm becoming rather chummy with it and that super-decision I made long long ago to have all these experiences, whether wisely or not.  When the Buddha laughed his long, long laugh it for sure was because he suddenly realized how insanity was dialed-in, and after nothing from the mind came up anymore to sustain his laughter he realized that the only precious thing left is life itself - and that all life is him and not-him at the same time, or however he wishes to view it moment by moment.

Today is the anniversay of a rather sorry entry into this sphere of influence - and then whisked to an oxygen bath, and I have to say that this is the first birthday where I am happy to be alive, to be here with all the aliveness around me, fully accepting at this moment of all the temporal struggles, knowing that - as with myself - all life will gain the realization of mastery.... each aspect in its own circumstances.

What brought all this on? Remnants of what came up in the last ACE session and the decision to put ALL EXPERIENCE around me as an importance and hold it there all around me, like the eye of the hurricane with the mind swirling with images, each one both accepted and rejected as an importance. Even the agony and degradation, the craving and abhorrence, the glee and the seriousness - everything. Once the mind was done with all the form and force I saw, like beautiful dewdrops, life. Life and its me-ness and not me-ness, like a baby wondering over its finger appendages that seem part of it yet separate. Okay, I'm waxing corny now  :-)))

In order to have an experience you must create things and interactions to be experienced, and to increase the importance of that you must establish some opposing postulates, namely, "must not know" and "must not be known" opposing "must be known" and "must know" respectively.

Make peace with life and grant others their convictions of their rightnesses. If they say they are unhappy find a way to ask them how that could be viewed as a "good" thing. When I last counseled someone I found various interrogatories for her to ask herself and admit to herself that she was using the "unhappiness" as a "service-to-self" - it can be done without getting whacked by the client :-))


Level Two
a) select a non-significant scene:  throwing a plastic bottle

b) Select an object from this scene: plastic water jug

c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object:  scissors 
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)
d) How is it different?
  • First off, my mind see the similarity of the plastic, the scissors having plastic grips and the jug too. But the scissors have metal tips with serrated edges and a bolt and a different sort of grip and colors are different and translucent vs opaqueness and size and shape and flatness and weight, and function, and no scre-on red lid, and different feel in the hand, and lettering.
  • The mind attempts to turn the plastic jug into scissors and can't see how to do that, and wants to chew on it and the scissors cannot be turned into a plastic jug and it chews on that too. Then the mind looks at possible relationships between the two - scissor can cut the plastic, but plastic cannot create any effect on the scissors really.

Okay, another present time object that is different: a cushion
  • I bring the image of the jug up next to the cushion and see how the cushion is different: stripes, opaque, colors, material, density, texture, shape, weight, function, importance rating, mobility, feel in the hand(s); the only "similarity" is the interactiveness of the screw on lid and the zipper.
  • I see a scene of my partner sitting with his back against the cushion holding the jug with water in it - a shared scene and has value depending upon the assigned importance of that scene and the resultant thoughts and energy particles hanging around the scene.
  • If I see him as being his body then by extension I see the jug as being part of him also because he is holding it in his hand as an importance, just as the body is held onto as an importance  - both things.
  • Then a wonder sets in about how all this stuff got put together the way it did, etc. beginning to see both as a put-together of sorts.
Okay, done.

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene. plastic jug
f) How is it similar?
same plastic material, general shape, screw-on lid, handle, flat bottom, label

"By the time the exercise has gone null you’ll be an expert Timebreaker. Don’t rush the exercises; nothing is to be gained by so doing. Once started on a past object or person you should persist with the object or person. To change around all the time will not make it easier for you, you are just prolonging the agony - and the exercise. Run the changes out as you go, that is always the fastest way."

3Feb15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

I have two simple certainties: for care of the body it is fruits, herbs and fasting; and I have certainty of my two simple practices to clear out the mind.

I watched the movie, "Black Gold" and I saw that these poor farmers could easily sustain themselves and family through simply cultivating fruiting plants and trees, yet they wanted the Western education and grains and meats and root crops, etc. They are trading the hyenas and vipers of the jungle for those economic rulers. It appears the games are going south on this planet.

Take coffee brewing for an example: farmers are now forming fair trade cooperatives to cut out the unnecessary middlemen who have need of things such as commodities exchanges. The best beans from local farmers to roasters to point-of-sale outlets. It is actually better tasting coffee because of better quality control. Happy farmers, happier coffee drinkers. Simple. Then look at brewing methods, cold brewing being the simplest. Of course even simpler is to drink water, but even that can get complicated. In truth if one cultivated and lived on a mostly fruit diet the questions of needing water and coffee would totally disappear.

It is the mind that must create systems and methods to occupy itself, to satisfy its needs and for quick gratification.


Repair of Importance - Walk Around and Touch Things
I get different viewpoints when I do this and importance of things in my environment shift and I end up feeling better when done. My feeling right now is somewhere between content and bored, seeing not much importance in any be-do-have, except to handle the current mental and physical condition.

Level Two
a) Select a non-significant past scene: chopping celery
b) Select an object from this scene: stalk of celery
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object:  paper pad
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)
d) How is it different?
  • It is pink and not cold, and has lettering, is flat, not curved, has inked lines (celery has the lines of string)
  • I see letters "Title" on the paper; is loose at one end and secured at other end, no leaves, although pages in a book are called "leaves"
  • lower moisture content, less dense, feels drier in the hand, would have a different taste if tasted, no dirt on it, smaller flat square shape,
  • cardboard backing (yawns); both have some importance related to care of the body and clearing of the mind
  • Get the picture of Jesus multiplying the food and why anyone should ever think there is a scarcity of anything: at some point you can duplicate the postulate sets of any object, any sensation; for example with celery, probably some "must not be eaten" postulates and with fruit, some "must be eaten" postulates
  • I see a similarity of cellulose composition
  • celery is a good diuretic and paper is not, celery is good in soup, paper is not - flavors differences

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then:

5Feb15 Toward Vanishing the Mind
Just as I was ready to "Publish" the whole thing vanished ?!?!

To sum up this sit, I walked around and touched things and noted what I was experiencing while doing so until no more changes occurred, then went into Level Two and one scene from the past which I explored against a present time object rather thoroughly, especially noting some hangups about aesthetics, and then ended off with some insights into current events and ready to get on with business, etc.

16Feb15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

It has been a long time since I felt I could keep my mind occupied with a positive life goal, however now I can also see the ego behind that, but that's okay now.  SEO schooling started to become more and more arduous and mentally restimulative of conflicting ideas, such as "black hat" vs "white hat", etc.. But still I felt no need nor desire to go into Level Two practice. But the fun started to turn into stress and confusion. Then a few days ago circumstances resolved a big part of the stress and the body went into a healing crises - a type of shingles and tiredness and loss of appetite - so I let it do its thing. So for the past few days I was mostly stuck in a "not here" feeling.  That is gone now, because I recalled my training in The Sedona Method, which is a fantastic method, just that it crashes because there is no built in repair of importance.

Last night my partner gave me an ACE session and I discharged piled on negative energies with his guidance, and I started to see that I had stopped taking the command intention over the mind.  I suspect also that I am still not as thorough with the repair of importance as needed to keep the mind from crashing in, and this makes me tend to want to run away from my practice, and I was at the same time keeping the mind nicely busy on its new and progressive project. It was good as long as it stayed lighthearted and fun, but I am not yet that chummy with my mind. I did have some good observations/wisdoms while training in SEO - the glee of insanity and being drunk on having made lots of money that some of these people exhibit. It ruins them.

Instagram did put a hundreds of relatively enlightened people into my feed, people attempting to upgrade their health and wellbeing as best they know how -- mostly with juicing and smoothies and cutting the wheat and meat, etc. A more Saatvic diet (alkaline). Still though a lot of ignorance about the mind/body connection, and sensation seeking. I am learning to be more balanced in the game of knowing and being known, and granting another the beingness of their own convictions - not cramming data/truths on them, not being defensive. However, one woman got upset with me because I posted about Joe Cross and his movie, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". We both scrambled to "unfollow" each other. I think I will puke if I see another bowl of oatmeal, lol.

Partner is focused on MetaHealth/MetaMedicine and Richard Flook's rendition which he calls "ACE", which lends a whole 180-degree shift in understanding of "sickness". Sickness occurs after the resolution of a mental/emotional crises, and while the severity of it can be tweaked with acidying medicants (or chicken soup, which is acidifying), it should be allowed to play out as much as possible and heal itself, and healing can even be accelerated with alkalizing herbs. It should only be slowed down when the symptoms interfere with one's rest. For example, I took aspirin to dull the leg pains so that I could get some real rest.  I also periodically walked around and touched things until I felt mentally de-stressed, or simply rubbed my body and blankets vigorously when I could not get up.

Listened to some Randy Cramer interviews as he outlined the corporatacracy on Mars and Moon. Same games, bigger playing field.

Repair of Importance - Walk Around and Touch Things
I fear I may still be sporadic and glib in this practice but I have done that and now let's see if I can do a Level Two Session. I have felt so mentally out of it that I thought I could not do it.


Level Two - First Step to becoming more friendly with my past

a) Select a non-significant past scene: talking with my partner

b) Select an object from this scene: a brown sweater

c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object:  black monitor
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)

d) How is it different?
  • yawns, somatics and emotions turning on, yawning off; simply the act of saying how it is different from the sweater accomplishes a lot of discharge. I have been so out of "present time" and it is like saying, "Come to present time". That alone is enough reason to do this exercise until no more charge/change
  • I feel an appreciation for everyone being so loving, caring and patient with me
  • Huge appreciation for Dennis making this so doable and workable - he really knew his stuff
  • The scene with the sweater I can move around and make large or small, etc., whereas the monitor is rather just there - it is where it is. Oh, okay, I could make a mockup of it and move that around ....
  • Although there is a nice harmony of a rhythmic balanced exchange there is something to be said for providing a service or giving without any thought of return.
  • I recall a point in life when I really liked my mind, and I was not doing any clearing work, which was the reason why I never did psycho type drugs or mushrooms, etc.
  • love is the contemplation of perfection
  • The present time object (the monitor) fades out and the sweater becomes more "real", but the question, "how is it different?" brings my attention back to the present time object over and over again.
  • The monitor is so different from the sweater that it actually feels a bit strange or uncomfortable to the mind which seems to be heavy on seeing similarities
  • For example when I say the monitor has the label "DELL" on the front then the mind wants to see a label in the inside neck of the sweater, even though I'm not sure there is a label, but the mind seeks it and sees it as a similarity. So I say, okay, that's a similarity and continue looking for how the monitor is different.  There was a discharge of energy about that.

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.
Okay, no more change  

Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene: a sweater

f) How is it similar?
Okay, done

Repair of Importance - Walk around touching things

Since this is an exercise one cannot do too much of I'm going to do it for one hour, just to make sure I'm doing it enough

Still feel out of it and am going to take a rest before continuing.

23Feb15 Toward Vanishing the Mind
And have slept mostly the past days, however did eat a salad the last two days and had some moments of mental clarity and this a.m. did the Perceptual Repair of Importance for one hour with some yawns coming off and feeling more "here". I had some cognitions about how great headway could be made with the insane with some very simple processes that gently encourage them to "come to present time", and I saw the perfect person to train up and make it his mission to do just that. I already know what I'm tasked to do.

My target is to complete Level Two by the end of March and begin Level Three and the doingness of that is to get up early - 6:30a.m. - and spend 3-4 hours daily and run more than one incident per session and AT THE SAME TIME always be sure to run all processes until NO MORE CHANGE.

Repair of Importance - walk around and touch things until no more change occurs
Did that for one hour and am good to go into level two

Level 2 Commands:
a) Select a non-significant past scene: Selecting a bag of peppers


b) Select an object from this scene: a red pepper

c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object:   a cell phone 
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)

d) How is it different?
  • So I take the red pepper from the scene and place it beside the cell phone and I see the cell phone is hard metallic material and it has lettering and symbols and it is silver with black - it is not red or floppy or squishy, nor does it have a green stem. the cellphone has receptacles for plug-inis, it lights up when it is opened. I'm yawning a bit when I see the red lettering on the dialpad matching the red color of the pepper, yet it is still different. The cellphone has a moving clockface whereas the pepper is a simple globular shape with no inscriptions or stickers on it. cellphone is rectangular, flat, engraved with white letters. cellphone is not wrapped in a clear plastic bag with a tie (I'm yawning a lot since I saw the red letters)
  • there is a shared sense of havingness of having acquired something, however the feel in the hand is different (mind is still bringing up similarities, such as smoothness, shine and I have to keep asking for differences)
  • the words "motorola", the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 .... For example I see the lettering on the cellphone and then I thoroughly examine the red pepper to see if there is the same lettering and I see there is not and this produces a yawn
  • now I'm starting to get a bit cheerful about being able to see clear differences, like "why are you asking such silly questions, of course there is not a number 5 on the red pepper..." Okay, so I took command power over the mind and made it run the process until it ran it and not something else. That's the whole point.
  • Just to be certain I take a close look at the red lettering and I examine all over the red pepper for the same red lettering and I also differentiate that the lettering is faded and dull red while the red pepper is brilliant, shiny, shocking red all over.
  • Now my mind wants to get into a create regarding the two objects, but that is not in the directions to do so I continue the command to see how the cellphone is different
  • Once again a sense of relief, feeling good about it as I continue spotting differences, but also a bit of somatic churning in the gut as if there is some protest or disapointment to being forced to keep the two objects separate through discovering differences.
  • It's as if the mind would rather fixate on the past object than the present object - I guess that is what the mind does best and it is being asked, by doing the process, to give up a big importance of itself
  • so, it is not so much the importance of the objects themselves, but the importance of getting the mind to see differences and not do something else - me being "here" enough to be able to run a command on my mind until no more change occurs within it
  • I see there is nothing more important in my life than running this process as often as needed until I'm a confident "timebreaker" and can proceed to Level Three
 Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene: photo of a red pepper

f) How is it similar? red, green step, puffy with ribs, convolutions, shiny, globular, waxy, smooth (yawns), 

Repeat e) and f) until no more change. Okay, did that using the same present time object 

then repeat c) and d).  Doing c) and d) using same present time object 

Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.
Okay, I think I'm done, I've lost interest in the two objects. I did notice that the mind can also falsely assert present time objects into past scenes (hmmmm, was there really a cellphone stuck in with that bag of peppers? ....   :-) )  Oh, perhaps in some other similar scene - COULD HAPPEN  :-))

I'm feeling a bit wiped so I'm going to walk around and touch things (really want to take a nap); it took one and one-half hour to run Level Two and I felt I ran the process without any drifting off onto more interesting subjects. I was being very "A to B".

g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one: different scene - Partner showing me his new iphone and the object is the iphone and the present time object that is different is a yellow bottle with a white lid

d) How is it different?
yawns, some tiredness came up, then more yawns and less tiredness; then again that silly feeling: "of course it is different.." yawns

e) similar present time object: laptop
f) How is it similar? 
Okay, done and it is getting late and I'm going to walk around and touch things until no more change occurs.

25Feb15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Simply deciding to sit down and do the work is exhibiting command power over the mind, which of course could be engaged in all kinds of interesting interactions with fellow humans, etc.  Don't know how much this bout of shingles is affecting my mind, just know I don't feel myself at all - mentally very fuzzy.

Repair of Importance - walk around and touch things
Did this for about one and one-half hours and ready to do Level Two

Level Two - Directing the Mind to "TimeBreak"
  • It is hard to say which comes first but part of the "Importance" of the past is to make sure it is connected thoroughly to the present, so that when I look at a deep murky pool of water I also am aware of a time in the past when I either drowned in similar or drowned someone else, or saw someone drowned, etc. And the mind, even though we are not aware of it, contains the whole history of this universe. 
  • Just take a look at the physicist, Walter Russell who decided he wanted to know everything about the universe, and now today we have a College of Russellian Science. Whether he went outside of the mind I don't know, but whatever is brought into this universe to be known can be known.
  • There are no true secrets about this universe, just confusions and delusions and unwillingness to know (forgettingness), or simply not interested at the moment.
  • Like George Washington Carver I could decide I want to know everything there is to be known about the peanut and not give two cents for knowing about potatoes.

About this exercise, I'm not really having any problem viewing the now and then objects simultaneously. My challenge has been to continue to run the command without allowing the mind to run off somewhere else. That is being corrected now. But so far only with non-significant incidents - or scenes.

a) Select a non-significant past scene:  making a salad

b) Select an object from this scene: frozen spinach

c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object:   venetian blind

d) How is it different? Run this process until no more change occurs.
  • No matter how complicated or compulsive one's mind has become one can still see themselves gaining command over the mind if they persist regularly with this practice. That is a big step forward.
  • As for Lester Levenson (I wrote an article about him today) I know for a fact he did Level Three type processing before he started digging into the major postulates (Levels Four and Five), and I question how he was able to accomplish that without first doing Level Two or similar. I can only say that timebreaking is a native ability, but if one can't make it through Level Two then they have lost that ability and need to re-hab it. Lester did spend years with a psychotherapist so perhaps ....   ??
  • Anyways, this timebreaking is occurring without much change and I think the breakthrough was simply deciding to keep running the command and not letting the mind run off and do something else with the command, like, "Oh, look, but the plate is the same color, hmmm.." Oh, yes, while doing this the mind also wanted to compulsively create using the two objects - like see if it could make a venetian blind out of the spinach leaves, etc., etc., thus the mind still attempted to overlay and mix up the two objects - a very neat trick I suppose if one were an inventor or artist. I did not delve into these mental presentations and kept running the command and now I'm done with it and it took about 15 minutes this time versus the 1.5 hours yesterday. 

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene:
I googled an image of frozen spinach on a plate

f) How is it similar?
  • especially the similarity of the presence of scraggly stems which have to be chopped with kitchen shears before eating
  • Dennis says this flow is not as crucial as the first flow of differences, but more to keep the flows balanced - not to simply do all differences.
  • Nevertheless I am getting yawns off doing this.
  • Once again, as soon as I start asking for similarities the mind goes off looking for differences, and I simply re-impose the command
  • The scene of me making a salad is starting to enlarge and I can see myself standing over the plate of spinach and I have to zoom in on the plate of spinach to recapture the original, smaller scene - spinach on a plate.
  • Still yawning. I guess one never knows at what point the charge is going to be released. (Think of the millions of years of societies with frozen spinach...and I seem to have been very busy in many such societies)

Repeat e) and f) until no more change. 

then repeat c) and d): Okay
  • So, as I move along with this I more and more realize the key is to be able to take an object from any past scene and hold it up against a present time object and focus in on the differences in order to assist in timebreaking an incident. If one is, for example, doing Level Three and they hit a particularly tough incident they can drop back to Level Two and/or do some Repair of Importance before returning back to Level Three Timebreaking.
  • Level Two is a great drill for a beginner of DIY mind clearing.
 

Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.
e) and f) once again and this time even more thoroughly as I held both images side by side


g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one: I'm running out of time and will end off here with enough time to finish off with walking around touching things. This is the first time I got this far in one session with the Level Two steps and that is because I insisted on keeping the mind running the command, "How is it different?" and then "How is it similar?"

26February15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

As Source Being I could postulate existences and everything is always "cool" and "hot" at the same time; however as the postulated "not self" there is the consideration of intense degradation combined with the knowingness that I had no one to "blame" but "myself" which I was no longer connected with, but separated from ... by my own postulates .... and thus I had no choice but to thrust my misery upon my own creations and the other "not-selfs" and feed off my own sensations. In this process of limitation every emotion and sensation was experienced within the parameters of this postulated dual universe. Currently, in my case, I am timebreaking that consideration of degradation that caused me to feel like a trapped animal trying to chew off its own leg, only I knew I had caused my own "demise". And I hated Source too. The symbol of the snake eating itself is apt for this particular incident. The good news is that the incident is now known about and can eventually be fully inspected and the original postulates fully and finally re-visited to remove any considerations of charge or fixedness from them. To view this universe from a Source perspective.

Last night my mind was racing and still pain from the shingles and I could not sleep. My solution was to direct the mind to one object and keep putting it all around me, over and over again in quick succession without dwelling on cognitions, or insights, or other digressions from simply running the process. This worked fantastically, with at first huge yawns one after another until finally everything went quiet and I was quite naturally sleepy except for the pain. Then I also had another create an object and I kept putting that all around me and I slept for several hours through the pain. 

Re-treading some of Dr. Morse's videos and once again reminded that it is the acid side of chemistry that degrades the cells, less often the alkaline side of chemistry, the body overall favoring an alkaline state, thus the ancient "Saatvic" diet. I'm sure that could get boiled down to postulates - perhaps related to the sensations of hot and cold.

Repair of Importance - Perceptual
Done for both self and another til no more change


Level Two - Step One to reducing importance of past incidents
Not enough sleep last night and feel like sleeping some more.

a) Select a non-significant past scene:
(Masochists can select a significant one.)
b) Select an object from this scene:
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object:  
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)

d) How is it different?

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene:

f) How is it similar?

Repeat e) and f) until no more change. 

then repeat c) and d).  

Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.

g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one:

Repeat c) and d) and then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.

Continue the exercise, using more and more significant past objects, until no more change occurs with any past object you care to select. Now do the exercise with past persons. Select them one at a time, and complete the exercise with each person. Continue until no more change occurs with any past person you care to select.
As you do this exercise, and the compulsive games condition between you and your mind begins to break down, you’ll find that it becomes progressively easier to place the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects side by side for comparison purposes, until you are quite easily able to view both the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects simultaneously. You are learning to Timebreak.

As a psyche-therapist the only thing that really matters is to help the client be relieved of the past and the decisions that were made, either consciously or unconsciously. Cutting through the decision to forget is part of the challenge, and there are some clever therapists who manage it.

Last night is the first good night's sleep in about 12 days since the shingles, and woke up with my usual morning-person good mood and a tasty raspberry/banana smoothie. Learning to love this raw fruit and veggie diet. I have only two things to do well today - that is another thing I decided - to stop multi-tasking. This session is the first thing and then the rest of the day for the second thing. Everything else has to wait its turn :-)))

I also started questioning why I need to know anything about the past - I mean outside of session of course. Why do I even need to fuss over the injustices of history, or who is fighting who? I can't see how that would contribute to my clearing work right now. Yes, if the matter does come up in an incident in a session then it gets dealt with as needed. Why should I concern myself with who I once was and the contributions I made to the degradation of species? As long as I'm diligently about my own clearing - what more can I do at this stage?
What does it serve me or anyone else at this stage of my clearing to fret over wars and religions and slaveries and genocides. I feel no compulsion to save anyone but myself and taking my clearing partner with me. Ask me again once I've completed Level Five.

Repair of Importances - Perceptual RI
Room too chilly for walking around and I'm taking an object and putting it all around me until no more change occurs, and the newly re-imposed rule of doing nothing else but the command - repeatedly.

a) self - fruit tree (apricot) and put around me 360 degrees repeatedly until no more change
  • 10:22 a,m.  good yawns for a good start
  • this time I choose a more real up close image of an apricot tree with sticky ripe and sweet orange globules with hornets and insects around them and spiders and thorns.
  • My mind keeps throwing in other images of such trees but I'm sticking with the original image
  • It hurts to hold my ground when the mind wants to make or add other importances
  • The importance is on the fruit being at its ripest moment nutritively
  • 10:52 stick with the original image and mind still busy about it and I think that is because I chose to create the image as a vignette of a biosphere instead of an isolated creation of a fruit tree - before there were such biospheres
  • the mind first got busy with the wasps, hornets and spider and thorns and then past that onto other "importances" drug up from its knowledgebase of related pasts
  • It's terrible to be so identified with thoughts and not realize it is only the mind; where does the mind end and the real analytical, logical me, postulating me show itself? So easy to deceive oneself.
  • I'm starting to question my participation in the continuation of this postulated biosphere - well, it seemed like a good idea at the time
  • This is a dual universe and of course then the mind holds some dualities in a continual duel with each other and thus limits the be-do-have of the being
  • more yawns
  • so I decide I will be complementary with the biosphere as long as I am pretending I am part of it as a body; to be "present" with it as a distant cousin of the ape that I place so much importance on
  • reaching a state of acceptance of life as it is and the choice to be enmeshed in it, having a body
  • If I ever have a pizza again it is probably going to have pineapple and apricots on it, lol!
  • "How does this image of a fruit tree seem to you now?"   Less craving, more just present with it, accepting, allowing of other lifeforms and mind is quiet now - once the urge to grasp was gone
  • Never ceases to amaze me all the stuff I have to go through to get to this quiet state, and while the mind is busy it is so easy to go into agreement with thoughts and other scenes and get all wrapped up in it, but if I simply continue - zip, zip, zip - with the original image it does finally all come to a stop; so happy too.
  • 11:22

a) another - a Di-Giorno Pepperoni Pizza
  • I Googled an image of such pizza
  • I have the other person throwing up in front of me the image of a pepperoni pizza and I accept the image and put it all around me 360.
  • yawns, lots of strong yawning
  • Okay, done and this took an hour of yawns, protests, emotions, thoughts, scenes, until finally quiet in the mind
  • I think the reason is that Dennis said the work would be more strenuous for those with a lot of inhibitions and repressions, and I do have a lot of aesthetic hangups to clear out, so, no worries, it takes what it takes and I think that with others it won't be the rough ride it is for me.
  • Simply deciding to put the law in and run the process repeatedly without getting identified with the thoughts is a timesaver.
  • "How does pepperoni pizza seem to you now?" detached, in that I can see it, look at it, put it all around me and that's it - there is nothing else attached to it.

Level Two - Timebreaking

a) Select a non-significant past scene: Making a smoothie

b) Select an object from this scene: blackberry
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object: heater 
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)

d) How is it different?
That went very quickly and I quickly ran similarities between a raspberry and a blackberry
Feel mentally wiped out though - still recovering from this ailment


Think about it: would it be such a bad life if all I really had to do everyday was do my clearing sessions until I no longer need to and otherwise spend the day taking long walks in nature while procuring fruit for the body?  I think the only thing that has been missing in this Rousseau-like scene is a definitively complete clearing practice. Okay, everybody can have their own universe mock-up - some like beautiful cities too.

1Mar15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Eager for practice this morning. Enter sit positive and remain passive (accepting)
As a being I am not bound by any limitations or considerations unless I say I will be.

Repair of Importance - Create something and 360 it
a) self - a wiffle ball
  • mind was busy this a.m. with renewed body vigor, and many thoughts of doing this and doing that, etc. - nothing to do with wiffle balls, but forcing to focus on wiffle balls and do the drill does eventually run out the mind's store, its busyness, making it easier to be present and focus on doing one thing today
  • "Mock up a wiffle ball" Okay "Good, put it all around you" Okay "Good, mock up a wiffle ball" Okay "Good, put it all around you" [REPEAT until no more change occurs - mind goes quiet]
  • I'm doing it as if it were the most important thing I could do all day today
  • Okay, mind quiet and peaceful now

b) another - $20 bill
Just had a zinger of a cognition - I don't have to make it important!
Well, that was quick :-)

End of sit - have to get to work.








b) another -

It is not my job to force someone to stop dramatizing their case - especially since I have not yet full command power over my own mind.
The mind is the seat, the entity, of all thoughts, emotions and sensations, and the scenes that hold them there.
Both Lester Levenson and the Buddha spent a very short and intense period of time clearing all of that out. To what degree they accomplished that I do not yet know. I might also add the Ramana Maharshi, who likewise dedicated himself to addressing and getting the command power over his mental fears of death, erasing them.

As long as I have a mind I must keep in the exchange program between emptying the mind and filling it, and both exercises are necessary for me.

NOTE: Ever since I started working on memorizing a script I've noticed that I'm also stronger now over the mind with my exercises. I believe the exercises during my Sit and the work on memorizing the script complement each other. I also noticed at first when I started working on the script I also had a lot of yawns boiling off.

Repair of Importance - Perceptual

a) self - wiffle ball
11:04 am - 11:24

b) another - carrot
11:26 - 11:28
It's almost as if I discovered a switch in my brain that can turn off the decision to make an importance of it - I can spot the moment right before the mind starts to decide to "do something with that" and realize it is not me and decide I don't have to "go with it". 

-Take a break to wash the dog -


Level Two - Timebreaking Stuck Importances - Objects
a) Select a non-significant past scene:  trimming the dog

b) Select an object from this scene: pink dog collar

c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object:  comforter
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)

d) How is it different?
Done

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene: headband

f) How is it similar?
Done


Need to get to work
END OF SIT

6Mar15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

I thought I could do both the business requirements and the clearing work and found that I'm still only energetic in the early part of the day and then done for the day around 5pm. My clearing partner agreed to give me sessions in the evening while I expend my a.m. energies on making some sales. Tonight was the first session in a long while. He is still studying and practicing Flook's ACE method.

The subject we took up was some feelings about money and it ended up in a prior time when it seemed that universes were bright, shiny, pretty objects and "coin of the realm" so to speak. Big or small, the mind must have an importance but we got to handle a prior importance and I felt myself letting go of the planet and not so fixated on tropical paradise scenarios. I felt a huge letting go there - as if a mass were lifting off me, and the temporary grief of the loss of such a long held importance, and "now what am I going to be-do-have???" Thus, then we did a type of Repair of Importance:

We went back to before the energy existed - back to the original separation chaos - and I re-mocked the scene to this time be able to instantly remove the charge from that incident instead of careening into endless dramatizations of it. Even though my mind wanted to make a big importance of it, I timebroke it right then and there. End of story.

Then I mocked up a scene in present time concerning money and I imaged myself being very debonair and obliging.

Lastly, I mocked up a future scene similar to the original chaos and I offered no resistance and went in and came out perfectly okay - no game.

That was the end of the session.

I suggested that we should also have the client put the mocked-up scene all around them and I tried that and many yawns occurred and we decided that would not be practical for someone who might be paying by the hour, so we discussed other "havingness" or "restoration of importance" assists, such as "Look around and tell me something you can have...", or having the client stand up and walk around and touch things upon the practictioner's commands.

Even though there was a huge and reluctant release of a long held importance I feel sufficiently repaired on that for now.   Usually after a session delivered by my clearing partner I am extremely hungry and will search for a snack, but this time I had only a mild interest and in fact have more interest in getting to bed on time than I do on food, so I do think the ending exercises went far towards repairing importances - until the next session.

I thoroughly enjoyed this session - the questions that were asked are the types of questions a spiritual being would love to be asked and I found great relief in being asked these questions. To finally be wise.

Today I ordered another round of herbs to continue the de-tox..  The nerves affected by the shingles are healing because now the sensation is ticklish instead of painful.

8Mar15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Today had another ACE session and again remarkably effective and after the session I'm further examining these fixed beingnesses and their dramas and starting to disconnect. My Clearing Partner helps me to have some command power over the mind, for example I was starting to really cry seriously and he would not let me "indulge" and so we quickly got back to running the commands until there seemed to be nothing to cry about.

As for Repair of Importance, it is sufficient to have the client mock up a new scene from the past, from the present, and from the future. No need to put it all around them, just mock up scenes with the person's new viewpoints, generally towards being more complementary than they had been in the past.

It seems there are two persistent incidents with all their importances: the one this lifetime and its relative from somewhere way back in the past. So I keep chipping away at the considered importances in them and how I dramatize that currently.

19Mar15 Towards Vanishing the Mind

My clearing partner has been giving me ACE sessions about once a week while I've been focusing on getting through a steep learning curve in my business studies.

In our sessions the first thing that is asked is "What is problematic for you right now?" and we work on getting all the energies, emotions, and thoughts of that and putting it all together as a package and calling it something - like "A".

Then I am asked to "Bring that down to zero" which I do unless it proves to be very sticky.

Then I am asked "What is behind that?" which takes me to a viewpoint before those energies came into being.

If this is a very calm place then I am asked "what did your higher self want to teach you?". This can take various wordings depending on the background of the client. I may proffer a decision or postulate, and at the very least a desire, which preceded a decision or postulate.

Next I am asked two important questions:
-  what would you not do now that you were doing?
-  what would you do now that you are not doing (or have not been doing)?

I find these questions quite rehabilitative.

Finally the session is capped off with a havingness process which involves reframing the past, the present, the future regarding the original problematic energies.   This works as well as the Repair of Importance processes of walking around and touching things or the "Create an Importance" command. I know this because I never get the munchies after the ACE session (always a problem with me in previous methods). My mind is such that if it is giving up one sensation it must fill in with another sensation and so I start thinking of chocolate cake (for example), but the reframing nixes that quite well.

The last session addressed my energies around not wanting to do my Level Two sessions and that has yet to be resolved and we will do another session on that subject.

Another good thing about the ACE method is that I often go back to a pre-time, pre "To Know" matrix install and I get a brief reminder of what life was like on the "other side".  I find that the mind cannot conceive or explain it very well - is quite flummoxed. I also came to a viewpoint that the "To Know" postulate matrix is not necessarily a crown of thorns but can be also viewed as quite beautiful - once one gets past any stuck considerations of overwhelm, etc. Once one returns to the viewpoint that was responsible for its creation.

We initially studied ACE because of health issues as we saw Richard Flook using it to heal body issues.

Man is a complicated and compulsive mind-entity plus being plus sentient simple minded ape, so we also sometimes make sure to ask, "Whose energy is it? The body's? Yours?"   The hierarchical ape body has its own To Eat and To Sex postulates. A study of the tribe of Bonobos apes shows how complementary the apes can be through complementary sexual bonding and a mostly frugivore diet. A stark contrast to the types of societies "higher beings" impose upon these bodies by taking them out of their natural habitat and forcing the mind's neurosis and compulsions upon them - to the detriment of their health and happiness.

29Mar15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

In the last ACE session I connected with "Something" and my first description of it was, "I am a big nothing", but that wasn't it exactly, but it was. Connecting with that viewpoint resulted in a great acceptance of imperfection and thoughts, feelings and emotions.

Thanks again to Lester Levenson as for the first time in 10 days since the last session I spontaneously started releasing and reframing.

I had not seen anything needful of releasing until last night - not that my mind wasn't presenting its conflicts.
However this morning I am feeling uncomfortably under the power of a "must love vs must not love" postulate conflict and a game set of "Must be loved vs Must not love", which is a postulate subset of "Must be known vs Must not know".  Let's work with it at that level.

As soon as I examine the incident the mind brings up under the light of these two postulates everything goes calm and analytical - we just got stuck to each other with our fixed postulates, nothing more, nothing less, end of story.

However, what happens when the "Must not Know" postulate is overwhelmed by the "must be known" postulate? And vice versa.
The being who operates fixedly on "must be known" is addicted to the sensation it gets from seeing the opponent experience inflicting overwhelm and the "must not know" gets its sensation from seeing the opponent experience the consideration of rejection. Thus each must try harder and the game will never end and that is wonderful - yet highly unreasonable. Vengeance is a wonderful mechanism if one wants the games to never end.

Once I hold up these two postulate sets for viewing, everything becomes understandable and "acceptable" and without any emotion, etc. Someone who operates on a "must be known" postulate NEEDS an"other" to present the "must not know" postulate. They need "each other" because that sensation of winning has become everything. Sensation is the prize.

It gets "insane" when such a game has gone on for too many rounds, and limitations or handicaps are imposed or self-imposed on each new interaction on the playing field that falls within the construct of the "To Know" matrix of conflicting and complementary postulates.

The "insane" being simply is considered insane because he can no longer play a complementary game and operate on life goals. He is stuck in non-life goals. Not that he can't get a thrill from that too, but .... he is considered sane to the degree that he can be complementary with others' goal sets, so it can be seen how insanity can breed more insanity. THERE MUST BE A GAME - sane or insane - seems to be the mantra of this universe of sensation thirsty beings. Look how our culture makes a big thing out of eating and sexing, whether for it or against it.

The insane sensation thirsty Must be Known seeks out and calls onto itself whatever circumstances it needs to justify to itself the having of the experience of the thrill of crushing and destroying. And there are all degrees and types of expression of this because the must-be-known can be quite creative.   A lighter version of Must be Known might simply focus on beings who did not wish to know its aesthetic creations and would be more willing to conform and "get along", being known within the rule sets, everyone still mostly operating on the life-oriented level of the goals of "to create".   Voluntary players, not in a big "Must" about having interactions (i.e., games).

It seems to me that a more sane must-be-known would play with the must-know's that already exist.

The absurd insanity of this is that I see an incident where a must-be-known and a must-not-know are glued together to each other like siamese twins.

This universe could not exist without this structure of conflicting and complementary postulates. Symphony orchestras are composed from these postulate sets.

From the viewpoint of "The Big Nothing Something" it is all acceptable, even the unacceptable, duality and non-duality. It really cannot be put very well into words and one must persist to re-contact that viewpoint for themselves. This is the nirvana that Dennis hinted at: a no-games state and a voluntary games state.

To get back to my first thought, it seems sufficient for now to simply "accept" whatever thoughts/feelings/emotions present themselves and to conjoin that with reframing, especially any situations - past, present or future - that mind-entity brings up for viewing.   This agrees with Dennis' injunction to learn to neither chase the mind nor run away from it. And if I get particularly stuck on some importance the mind brings up I can simply take time out to sit down and examine the postulates that were employed to create that. By consciously putting up for viewing what are the fixed postulates it depletes the mind of their energies, etc. and gets me back into command power over my own postulates and I see once again that I can create and uncreate any sensation I desire sitting on a cushion in my lair.

I dont' need to make a mad dash out the door to get my thrills. Ha! that's funny to hear me say that because I'm preparing to go out the door to get my groceries :-))   Cursed consciousness awareness takes all the "fun" out of it, lol.  No, it's just that I'm learning I don't need to operate on postulate vias anymore. I can if I want to, but soon I won't have that fixed want - unless I want to.  A lot of words from a "big nothing", lol.

Another ACE session and the subject addressed is "performance issues" related to my business. Once again I returned to a sense
of timelessness plus an awareness of a universe on the other side, and I could from one viewpoint conceive of going in and out of
universes. Since today I have been releasing energies related to what was touched upon in the ACE session.  I am told this is
normal because I did not necessarily feel great after the session, but did start to function with more clarity in my business.

The practical application is that I stopped fixating on a non-working modality in the business and took on two new and possibly
more promising projects. The business is useful for helping me confront doing'nesses I have been avoiding for fear of rejection.

The next day clearing partner took a fresh look at the history of his migraines and seemed cheered by what he discovered; however today he says he has a "headache" for which he had to take a pain killer. Per the current working theory, that would
indicate that something resolved in his mind and now the body can experience healing, and inflammation is a way of
healing.

We are working with the idea that all dis-ease turn-ons occur when the mind is near or at a resolution of some stressor,
and that the same re-occurring stress, followed by resolution can create re-occurring headaches. For example, if someone is very stressed out at their Monday-Friday job and then on the weekend they get their migraines, but start to feel better by late Sunday. Reference MetaMedicine/MetaHealth and Richard Flook's strokes of genius in applying this knowledge.

5May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

I left off doing Level Two because it often seemed like a grind to nowhere and clearing partner and I agreed I needed some gradient processes and then let's see after that how Level Two runs for me.  I did make some clearing gains with the ACE commands and then with the Idenics commands. Both of these processes help the being to look and see what his mind is doing to him and what games condition he is in with his mind and what he is like without his mind, without his fixation on both the known and unknown past.

I've also started a business and am learning to exercise complementary postulates with others.

I've also seen that there are other "havingness" processes besides Dennis' "Repair of Importance" processes, for example re-framing of past/present/future, and "look around and tell me something you could have" (also what could someone else have). Mindfully walking around and touching things works too.

Dennis' processes require precise attention to details - for example running an exercise "until no more change".  No fudging. Dennis did promise that Level Two would be a baptism of fire for very noisy minds, but he also promised that once through it the being would never again be afraid to contact the contents of his own mind and work on discreating it.  That's what brings me back to Level Two. I definitely have what Tao-Te-Ching calls a "wandering mind" and I am happiest when I can keep it focused on attending to something practical or productive. I also have a mind that can attach significance to just about anything it seems, so that even a small thing like a sweater or a cup, etc. takes on huge proportions in the mind. Of course I find this quite unpleasant and annoying when I'm doing Level Two or the Repair of Importance. "WTF!! it's just a can of beets!" but no, aesthetic sensation being so important.

Level Two:   (Already ran havingness and feel calm and quiet)

a) Select a non-significant past scene. [good luck with that if your mind is highly charged up - just plough through it and run copious havingness before/during/after - you will create unnecessary pain for yourself without copious havingness]
(Masochists can select a significant one.)
-  opening a can of beets

b) Select an object from this scene.
- beets

c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object.  (NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)
d) How is it different?
- the heater tower: gray, green cylindrical, dry
- starting to feel uncomfortable - going to run some more havingness
- now there is some release while doing the exercise - yawns, feeling good about it, more yawns, it's not so bad afterall
[11:30 - have to get to work - will continue - ending off with a sense of victory. Conclusion is that breaking the exercise up with havingness takes the edge off]


Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then: 
 
e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar?

Repeat e) and f) until no more change, then repeat c) and d).  Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.
 
g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one.
Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.

Continue the exercise, using more and more significant past objects, until no more change occurs with any past object you care to select. Now do the exercise with past persons. Select them one at a time, and complete the exercise with each person. Continue until no more change occurs with any past person you care to select.
As you do this exercise, and the compulsive games condition between you and your mind begins to break down, you’ll find that it becomes progressively easier to place the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects side by side for comparison purposes, until you are quite easily able to view both the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects simultaneously. You are learning to Timebreak.

6May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Ran havingness this morning. I am once again struck by the bare simplicity of this universe is nothing but life and postulates and I only make more of it than that because of my desires - to be in there telling a story, writing a story, playing a game. If one looked at a flower long enough they would see that it is only life with its postulates - "To Be" or "To Do" or "To Have" this or that. If one looked into the mind long enough one would finally see the basic postulate structure of the mind as an entity of itself, just like a flower. It is definitely not a lie to say we created it, thus why can't we discreate it. 

I also had a brief glimpse of how I had been for many millions really counting on scientology to come up with the goods for how to cleanly escape this universe - well of course that means the mind of course. Imagine being in one of your earlier viewpoints of simply seeing universes as nothing more than play marbles. Now we discreate and let go and step away with complete knowledge/responsibility/control.of the nature of games and desires.  All attachments and aversions can be viewed as postulates "To Eat", "To Drink" and their opposers - "To Not be Eaten", for example.

What did Dennis do that was the missing piece of Scientology?  Well, he simply found the correct opposing postulates made by the being himself that created all this persistent separation.  

Hubbard tried, looked in the wrong place, and bad things happened, but he set the stage up for Dennis, and that was all that needed to be done. Dennis cleaned his case up with a bit of early Dianetics running and some earlier processes, then went a little wonky running Hubbard's wrong opposers and that set the stage for him to decide he was going to crack that nut once and for all - for himself first and then for others on a DIY basis. Well good luck with that, you're going to need it, but that does not say Dennis' procedures won't do the job.  Will I do the job? is the only question here. Or will I let myself - and others - down? No matter the procedure it is simply a question of getting the being to realize that he is not his mind and then discreating his mind thoroughly - going beyond the silly irresponsibility of unknowningness of simply disconnecting from it and saying "I'm fine now". Tolle comes to mind. 

I can hardly get enough command power consistently over my mind to walk it through havingness processes until no more change. It's getting better, but still a tough haul each day. I have to give myself pep talks - like what I just wrote was a pep talk. 

Okay, 11:30 and back to work.   I told myself to stop watching movies late at night and get to bed on time, eh!

6May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

A late night modified ACE session. ACE is a product of Richard Flook.

The topic of interest was issues with having command or control power over the mind. 'What's behind that?" Jumped into the baby-sitter incident and reduced the energies in that down to zero. "What's behind that?" took me into birth somatics and reduced those energies as best as possible, but some were still sticky, so we kept going back further until we went to before those energies were created.  What would I no longer do? and what would I start doing given this new viewpoint.

I felt sensations of the body and the mind were no longer that important to keep discussing. Okay, so what if I feel bored, or tired, or annoyed, etc. It's not really "me". Complaining is another mental indulgence and sensation is derived - it serves the mind only and not the intent of any practice towards vanishing the mind. The body and its somatics also serve the mind.

Havingness:
I re-framed the past of the events right before I created the mind, then made copies of it all around me for quite a distance, then I put the scene all around me six-directions, one direction at a time ("put it above you", good, now put it below you, good ...... ).   Had some further discharge and realizations.

Then I re-framed the present and then the future, including making copies and six directions. It further helped to reinforce that none of my creation is me.   One cannot have "control" or command power if one is weak on knowledge and responsibility and this session helped me to have the knowledge of doing all this to myself and willing to be responsive to it, thus more able to take control over sensations produced by the mind upon the body instead of letting them control me. Not so identified with them.

Even though I discreate my mind that creates this universe all the others will still keep the universe created so I don't have to be concerned about it ever totally vanishing, although it might seem more real to others than it would to someone not participating in the constant creation of it.

I also had the idea that if I did want to play and have fun it would not be on the physical plane of existence, rather on some much lighter plane of existence where there does not exist mechanisms of vengeance and shame and blame and guilt and ridicule. My creations would be more like anime perhaps - could be turned on and turned off - non-persisting.

So, I better set the alarm and get to bed and do the session tomorrow and even though my mind might want to register a complaint - well, that's the mind.

8May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Ran some havingness this a.m.. Realized that I lost the game almost from the beginning and no point in continuing further without an address to the mind, so I have made the only real wise choice - to live life as complementary as possible whilst discreating my mind. When I look upon degradation of people and their environments - well who created it? It's really all about me, so I can't point a finger away from me until I sort out my own mental ticks. Nothing more than a bad habit.

Level Two

a) Select a non-significant past scene.
(Masochists can select a significant one.)
- opening a can of beets

b) Select an object from this scene.
- beets

c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object.  (NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)
d) How is it different?
- paper box
- light fixture
- can opener vs striped pillow


Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then: 
 
e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar?
- apple to beet
- can opener to can opener

Repeat e) and f) until no more change, then repeat c) and d).  Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.
 
g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one.
Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.
- can opener

Continue the exercise, using more and more significant past objects, until no more change occurs with any past object you care to select. Now do the exercise with past persons. Select them one at a time, and complete the exercise with each person. Continue until no more change occurs with any past person you care to select.
As you do this exercise, and the compulsive games condition between you and your mind begins to break down, you’ll find that it becomes progressively easier to place the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects side by side for comparison purposes, until you are quite easily able to view both the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects simultaneously. You are learning to Timebreak. 

Seems done for now. Will take up a new scene tomorrow. Now off to run some havingness.

(Masochists can select a significant one.)
- scene with box turtle

b) Select an object from this scene
- box turtle
.
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object.  (NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)
d) How is it different?
- big gray rock

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then: 
 
e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar?
- I could not find any object in present time that was similar so I brought up another scene of a box turtle and compared the two turtles for similarities

Repeat e) and f) until no more change, then repeat c) and d).  Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.

- Okay, done. No more change. Did not really experience any charge from running this particular incident. Ran havingness.

Getting late - need to get to work so ending off here for the day.

 
g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one.
Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.

Continue the exercise, using more and more significant past objects, until no more change occurs with any past object you care to select. Now do the exercise with past persons. Select them one at a time, and complete the exercise with each person. Continue until no more change occurs with any past person you care to select.
As you do this exercise, and the compulsive games condition between you and your mind begins to break down, you’ll find that it becomes progressively easier to place the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects side by side for comparison purposes, until you are quite easily able to view both the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects simultaneously. You are learning to Timebreak.

Ran enough havingness to start with.

a) Select a non-significant past scene.
(Masochists can select a significant one.)
- Peeling an apple

b) Select an object from this scene.
- an apple

c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object.  (NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)

- a light fixture

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.  
-  no more change

Then: 
 
e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar?
 - an apple

Repeat e) and f) until no more change, then repeat c) and d).  Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.
 
g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one.
Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.

Continue the exercise, using more and more significant past objects, until no more change occurs with any past object you care to select.
Now do the exercise with past persons. Select them one at a time, and complete the exercise with each person. Continue until no more 
change occurs with any past person you care to select.
As you do this exercise, and the compulsive games condition between you and your mind begins to break down, you’ll find that it becomes progressively easier to place the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects side by side for comparison purposes, until you are quite easily able to view both 
the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects simultaneously. You are learning to Timebreak. 
 
By the time the exercise has gone null you’ll be an expert Timebreaker. Don’t rush the exercises; nothing is to be gained by so doing. Once started on a past object or person you should persist with the object or person. To change around all the time will not make it easier for you, you are just prolonging the agony - and the exercise. Run the changes out as you go, that is always the fastest way.

13May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Time, like all other postulates, is a lie and is more a factor of perceived distance, thus Dennis explains his procedures as "Timebreaking" - breaking the lie of time by proving to oneself that the "past" object can be brought up to reside beside a present time object and both held up for comparisons.

Yesterday I worked with two separate insignificant incidents and got at most a bit of mental gnawing feeling and some yawns.

I've been having some realizations about the mind loving to create problems and so have been more aware of it in myself and others. It is as if almost as soon as the mouth opens .... even the posing of a "solution" is the granting of a problem.

Have been reading Carse's book re finite and infinite games.

Did some impromptu Level Two because not so frightened of it as before. I also notice my creative visualization is simply more fun, however at one point while playing with crawfish and lobsters I heard and saw a clanging white door that was as if to say "You cannot change things up like that", but I realized it was just the mind, thought it interesting that the mind would do that and continued on playing with lobsters, morphing them, assigning them duties, etc., etc. - having a lot of fun with that.

Then I had my partner creating things and that went okay too, although felt a little more reserved about it - had him do more conventional creations.

However as soon as I started working with the business I noticed some mental discomfort so I got up and ran some havingness - mindfully touching things.

It got me to looking at a conversation I had with a possible business associate. From a must-be-known viewpoint I could say he was "rejecting" me. From a must-know viewpoint I could say he was depriving me. From a must-not-be-known viewpoint I could say he was revealing too much to me and from a must-not-know viewpoint I could say he was afflicting me (loud voice, etc).

I'm not sure yet how to do a good Level Two timebreaking regarding phone conversations since it is mostly about listening, hearing - words and sounds and emotional tones.

OKAY, I'm bringing up for view the exact moment when I felt this person's non-life goal and at the same time I'm looking at things around me. Some yawns coming off. A realization that I'm still surrounded by mostly negative-talk people - and what does that say about me? Wherever there is negative-talk suspect and look for game strategy, whether the person realizes it or not.

So, to sum, since the last write-up I have timebroken objects from three different insignificant incidents and done a copious amount of running havingness, or what Dennis calls "Repair of Importance".

Level 2 Commands:
a) Select a non-significant past scene.
(Masochists can select a significant one.)
b) Select an object from this scene.
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object.  (NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)
d) How is it different?

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then: 

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar?

Repeat e) and f) until no more change, then repeat c) and d).  Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.

g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one.
Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.

Continue the exercise, using more and more significant past objects, until no more change occurs with any past object you care to select. Now do the exercise with past persons. Select them one at a time, and complete the exercise with each person. Continue until no more change occurs with any past person you care to select.

15May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Spent several hours running havingness - at least one hour of that was "contemplating another's return" which was very gratifying to say the least. Then another hour doing creative RI for myself and then another hour walking around and mindfully touching things.

Then did Level Two style procedure on a scene that occurred earlier today where my clearing partner and I were sitting and talking. Some yawns came off and I had no problem putting the object from the "past" up next to an here and now object.

The next objective is to increase the number of objects/scenes daily and start to get really good at this. So far, I'm definitely having a very easy time of placing the then object right up beside the now object and seeing both simultaneously, but don't feel I'm yet at the stage where the comparison becomes rather automatic.   Keeping in mind that this IS A NATIVE ABILITY that I've lost and am regaining, so how hard can it be once on gets past the "willies".

My current realizations are that I'm still experiencing a raised awareness that the minds love to have a problem to chew on, and even to "solve". I'm reading daily an article by Robert Adams regarding self-enquiry. My business endeavors are less a product of wild ambition and more of a practical - it seems like a good idea - sort of activity that requires a good level of resolve each day. It is simply another work or "job" that requires certain activities to earn a $$ reward, $$ still being important at my stage of development and towards handling prior debts, and my being too young for the social security pension. I'm viewing the activities I do as part of my self-development in practicing being complementary with others. For example, I offered a large portion of my first commissions to an SEO developer - taking an everybody wins viewpoint and not being greedy trying to make it off other people's skillsets (and then only paying them $4 an hour- Philippines - geez what kind of a schmuck would I be if I did that).

16May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Ran havingness - what Dennis calls Repair of Importance - for the mind's sake, and then Did Level Two procedure on an incident. It was a rather significant incident although it has been looked at before and had a lot of charge run out of it already so that I could bring up the black and white tiles in the incident and place them beside objects here and now and see both simultaneously without much charge - some yawns, some mental gnawing, but no great discomfort. PLUS I'm being overly careful to keep my havingness topped up, especially after a spate of yawning, which is an indication of release of energies or psychic masses.

Cognitions:
The mind is an analytically designed/created entity that "thinks" within certain set limits - or postulates, four to be exact: To Know/To Be Known/To Not Know/To Not be Known. A being's first descent into this such limited universe triggered all possible postulate combinations of both complementary and oppositional. All sensations experienced rather intensely (at least in my memories). And the sensations associated with being the overwhelmer/winner instead of the overwhelmed one/loser became more important than helping others to be happy and healthy fellow playmates. Winning became more important than keeping an infinite game going. The use of force to wise my "others" up or free them was always an unwise choice: cracking open skulls to free beings - well as Dr. Phil would query, "How is that working for you?" "It's a great sensation" - at first, but the mind is never satiated for long. And there is awesome sensation to be had with both "To Create" and "To Destroy".

The "return" that the Tao Te Ching speaks of is finally returning to the viewpoint of the one who created the mind/universe and letting go of all the pretended importances - no more mind to resolve or not resolve.

It's those little daily conflicts between couples - she insists on not-knowing/rejecting and he compulsively must-be-known/inflicts, rejecting and inflicting each in turn and getting their sensations from that - that is called love and witness a person crying for the loss of that "loved one" when they finally pass on from too much overwhelm of rejection or infliction. How many relationships are based upon mutual but opposing thirst for sensation? How soon would that partner walk away from you if you decided to go totally complementary and not give him/her any game when she must have a conflict sensation and there is none that can be generated?  How hateful would that partner become if you arbitrarily decided to walk away from that interaction, after having enslaved you in the name of love? I'm of course exaggerating to make a point - am I?

Okay, ran some ending off havingness and will spend the rest of the evening contemplating another's return and doing some reading.

17May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Ran plenty of havingness of all sorts - touching things mindfully, creative visualization, contemplating one's return.  Having a great time with all of it. 

Level Two produced some yawns and I saw how it is the mind that makes judgments about things - good, bad, stinky. Yes, one could say or perceive something is stinky but one does not have to have an emotional reaction to it - that is the mind. I recall as a child and older I used to be very squeamish about things - then I went and lived in Kenya for awhile. And then years later Dr. Robert Morse educated me about bacteria and germs, etc. and that made me do a 180-degrees about microbes. 

It was not a totally insignificant incident, but it ran OKAY - just some good yawns and release of some held onto ideas.

I realized today that my space does not expand and contract as dramatically as it used to when I first started this work - it does but I feel I can handle it better.

17May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind, Cont'd

My clearing partner delivered to me a bonus session. The subject I brought up to get looked at and resolved had to do with fear of failure and feeling overwhelmed by a task that I must master. And I felt a struggle between wanting to be very zealous and "crush it" vs wanting to do only the minimum - lazy.

He threw in another question at the beginning: "How does having this thought or feeling serve you?" So that got me to looking at my possible justifiers/motives for keeping it there, keeping it important even though it was an uncomfortable situation to put myself in.

Then he asked me "What's behind that energy?" and we selected from among a few scenes that came up from early childhood and I worked on bringing the energy down to zero. Lots of yawns starting right at the beginning of the session. Then he asked me to go to a time before that energy ever existed and I immediately felt relaxed and happy and that time was not a factor because I wasn't really involved with "others".

Then he asked me what was the lesson I wanted to teach myself - or - what did I want to get out of this experience. My reply was that I wanted to develop myself as a complementary game player in my interactions with others and overcome my mind and I knew that I was setting myself up for a hard game, but I wanted to understand games, understand the mind, master games, play better games from here on out.

Then he asked me what would I stop doing now that I had been doing and the reverse - what would I start doing now that I hadn't been doing. I would be more present and stop setting myself up for failure or giving myself a reason to not be-do-have; I decided I would break the work down into manageable parts and give myself wins by being thorough, not necessarily zealous. So I re-framed the present and how I would approach the task, step by step, which I found very useful. I would not allow compulsive desire to make me feel rushed for time.

Then he asked me to look at myself a certain way which caused me to quietly ask myself, "What am I?" and I found that my mind was not answering up and so I felt very happy about that.

I also saw how this applies to my Level Two work.  A good gradient for Level Two would be to simply place two present time objects side by side and run out differences and similarities. I saw this being done in elementary schools as a first step towards teaching critical thinking skills and restoring a being's native ability to automatically see differences and similarities - to validate that ability.

Things are neither needed to be easy nor difficult - easy and difficult are from the mind. Failure is a mind concept and the mind is only useful for keeping one locked in a game/universe by its insistence upon the basic limiting postulates.

The funny thing is that recently my partner and I both wanted to fulfill a desire to satiate the mind that really wouldn't be practical now - he to purchase a motorcycle that he saw for sale and me to purchase a cute little puppy that I saw for sale. The best we can do is use it as a subject of Repair of Importance exercise, putting those desires all around us until the mind is done with it.

I feel very grateful for being granted the session and very grateful for Dennis coming up with Level Two and RI. My mind really cannot comprehend the magnitude of this moment in life.

Clearing partner and I had a short discussion about how suppressing a compulsion - even if it seems analytical to do so - keeps one in a games condition with the mind. The proper handling is to use a process such as ACE or Idenics. In other words, get to the root of it rather than struggling against the mind's compulsions, even if it is correct not to give in to the compulsion - otherwise it will bite you back later.


I ran havingness: mindfully touching things, creative visualization, and "what could you have?" questions and answers - for both myself and for another.

Level Two

Slow and tedious but got done - two objects, same incident, followed up with creative visualization RI.

Felt mostly sleepy all day.

24May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Ran havingness processes, feeling calm. Ate some fresh ripe cantaloupe - neurotransmitters for the brain. Mind always engaged in something, making something important, but I do think I'm becoming more conscious of the difference between the egoic mind's need to protect itself and its "others" of like mind and body, and its concerns about winning and losing VS what is it my "higher mind" wants me to learn regards becoming more complementary. If I don't have a dog in the fight why should I resist or enforce? I'm a "not human" playing at being human, attached to a body.

The Void appears like a void because in that state the creation is there and gone instantaneously. So then "Aware" came into being, and then the "Source Being" and then a universe matrix guaranteed to produce everlasting disagreement and agreement which solves the "problem" of "voidness". All my desires have now been fulfilled and all is perfect and I no longer need my own mind, but will be better able to enjoy all my creation without it - without the charge built up between the "must knows vs the must-not-be-knowns" and the "must-be-knowns" with the "must knows", etcetera.

The mind thinks it can resolve things by playing non-life games, by playing games, but it is futility for I don't think games were ever meant to resolve anything. Perhaps to fully know thyself - but if you did indeed create universes to accomplish this goal isn't it time to step out of this universe mind and survey all? From that viewpoint universes would appear to be little powerhouses of contained life force. "Horton hears a Whoo", by Dr. Seuss - a very ancient piece of writing.

Level Two

Choose a non-significant incident:  cleaning out the refrigerator
Choose an object: a stick of butter
Choose a PT object: the fan
View them simultaneously and note how the fan is different - until no more change or charge
- the mind is throwing up justifiers
- I made a decision to return the butter and another decision to purchase organic butter and make ghee in the slow cooker
- no longer in a games condition with my own mind and/or with "another"

"What is yours is mine and what is mine is yours." What if we all lived like that? It means that life - the being - is more important than material things.

- yawning
Select a PT object that is similar: another stick of butter
How is it similar?   
- that also produced yawns

Communication with a life form should be more treasured than even the aesthetics of that life form.

I'm going to take a havingness break and communicate with the petunias Marge purchased for me. I once had a petunia "yell" at me pleading with me to stop mercilessly trimming its spent flowers.  As soon as I heard and complied it produced the most lucious blooms and then went to seed, with winter coming on. Life being complementary with life. 

Same scene as before - cleaning the refrigerator
New Object: red bell pepper with some fungus around the stem
Present Time Object: white pillow

Note to self: with this type of exercise it seems I have two ways of looking: 1) I can look at the bell pepper in the scene with the refrigerator and me holding it and examining it for viability -OR- 2) I can extract the bell pepper from the scene and simply put it up beside the white pillow. I believe Dennis means for me to do #2 - viewing both objects simultaneously, and he did not say anything about the rest of the scene.

- I spotted and yawned off the charge that involved some bias for the pillow - some importance got spotted and discharged

Does "The Creator" have a bias for any of its creations?

A great feeling of being blessed to be here and now with this knowledge, this practice and what it is doing for me.

Ran similarities with another red bell pepper

I'm ending off on this good feeling.

25May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Dennis' proffered code of ethics, using the four postulates that make up the "To Know Matrix":
"Never Force anyone .... "
"Never Prevent anyone ... "

So life with a mind is hit and miss and that makes life a challenge and a skill and an art, otherwise life is very simple once one has dropped all considerations of "Gee, that person is trying to force me/deprive me". Without mind all options are open and necessity for motivators gone.  Believe it or not it actually gives one a certain sensational thrill to deprive another - of course not without first mocking up the proper righteous anger so as to convince self and the "other". The same can be said for the affliction that must-be-knowners need reasons to enjoy.  Some of the best psychotherapies ask the client to look at how that compulsion serves them or makes them right, etcetera, until they see what they are doing and decide to drop it. This is why most people need a separate therapist in the beginning of their progress, depending upon how many lifetimes they have recently devoted to clearing their minds. For example, my clearing partner was in his last lifetime a Scientologist and studied with the best techniques of that time and trained to be an auditor right before his untimely death. I also had a taste of Ron's techniques before my untimely death.

I have been very fortunate to have had some good and needed therapists with the best procedures on this planet. Level Two now is actually starting to become almost "fun" whereas before it was definitely not fun. For comparison, I sort of enjoy washing dishes, seeing them get clean, and that is comparable to my level of enjoyment doing Level Two right now.  Not enthusiastic yet, just a necessary thing that gives me some pleasure and I see a cleaner mind as a result.

Yesterday I took Bob Adams' recommendation and explored the fact that "I exist" and realizations from that still washing over me. Such as today it was no matter what happens, no matter what is in the mind, I exist.

Unless people realize that the mind is nothing but overts and motivators which is laughingly called a game, life can get overly complicated. But seriously and soberly, that's all an upset is ever about = so get over it and clear your own mind away, colleen.

More about Level Two later - have to go to work now.

Repair of Importance Processes done to satisfaction

Well, finally got into a Level Two session:

Choose a non-significant incident

drinking water

Choose an object:
bottle of water

Choose a PT object that is different
heater

How is it different?
Okay, this time the water bottle actually sort of involuntarily

became overlayed upon the heater - both being of upright

cylindrical shape and I could see both simultaneously whereas

usually I place them side by side, which I did initially in this

case, but as I say, it happened rather naturally or involuntarily

and I have no problem with it because I can see both at the

same time and run the process even better than when I have

them side by side.

One might surmise I am taking a 4th dimensional viewpoint

instead of the usual 3D viewpoint.

Although it is said that two objects cannot occupy the same

space and that could be said still to be true because these two

objects are of different size and shape so of course not

occupying the exact same configuration of the space. And that

is also how I can differentiate them even while viewing them

overlayed simultaneously.

Choose another PT object that is different; how is it different?
This time some yawns - seems to be more yawns upon

inadvertently spotting similarities among the differences.

The water bottle - as I'm yawning - seems to becoming more

solid and "real" beside the sheet of reflectix. And I have some

stuck attention on the red lid. So I'm taking the red lid solely

and seeing how the reflectix is different from the red plastic lid.

Yawning more - encouraged by the generous release of

energies as manifested by the yawning.

It is also brought to my attention while I'm yawning that my

mind likes to obsess over something - like to have something to

obsess over. I do believe it is related to the "To Create"

abberrations of the mind.

Things only exist because I postulated their existence, whether

from a self or a "not-self" viewpoint, it does not really matter in

the long look.  Without interaction with the postulated existence

I feel like a "nothing", but not "here"; here, within the program

of this universe/mind I am a "something" and my mind likes that,

it appears. I'm laughing at that.

Let's see, how did this story begin? "There once was a felt

selfness ....  ?"

About games, I think that once one plays a few games in the

astral especially - running psychotherapeutic processes upon

astral ruling beings, essentially causing them to drop their non-

life goal, and then in retaliation getting picked up in a series of

implantment 4D spaceships, each one more sophisticated - and

arduous - than the previous - one can quickly see the futility of

playing games...as long as one has a mind that can be further

impinged upon with yet another set of implanted commands.

Without the mind, what of games?

Even if I could knock planets together like child's play, would

I? I would tentatively say yes, however it would be done

without the compulsive thirst for sensation, which is what the

Tao Te Ching constantly reminds me of.

Okay, I'm finished with the water bottle differences.

Ran similarities with another water bottle.

28May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Been looking at the negative goal sets of "To Eat", namely, "to starve" and "to poison". Non-life goals towards life and the manifestations of life. Lately, I've been blithely eating food that has a list of known deleterious ingredients - why would I want to poison the body? Just bringing up the subject causes sparks to fly. The ape entity is a natural "knosher" and in its native environment it never really had to be concerned about a fruit being poisoned and it was an 80-90% frugivore, however a mother orangutan will spend a bit of time passing on her knowledge of plant foods.  For example, my dog has started to mimick me knoshing on dandelion leaves in the backyard.

The only mind I really need to be concerned about is mine own - let others have theirs, just be wise about what I choose to agree to.

Silence = potentiali

A former client messaged me telling me that he finally resolved his important mental issue after 15 or more consecutive sessions using the ayahausca. So I checked out some videos. Interestingly the "shiny" or "glittering" blackness some of them described is very similar to what I experienced in one of my ACE sessions. I suppose those types of sessions would release the natural DMT in the brain/body/mind complex.

Have been working in a home recently occupied by someone with strong negative mental forces and it started to get to me last night, my mind being what it is. Thought I should give myself a good session before I go back and tackle her living space today.

Today's RI is centered on her and her house and my clearing partner working in that house, etcetera.  Reframing with life goals and also consciously creating non-life goals in order to cut out the automaticity of non-life goals. The futility of employing the mind is that the mind eventually will degrade a life goal into a non-life goal - everytime. And why not? the mind is created for and dedicated to the manufacture of sensation, and sensation can be had only by the pull and tug of negative musts and must nots  against their positive opposers. Eventually a being learns it can create sensation - do consciously what the mind does automatically.

Yesterday I recalled the first time I walked into a Scientology Church and the first tape play I listened to was where Ron Hubbard lectured about the importance of "Goals" - of finding the correct opposing goals in order to undo the mind and achieve what he called "Native State", and what others might call "Nirvana". At that moment I knew I was on the right track, only I did not know that Ron had failed. I credit him for pointing in the right direction, i.e., to find the correct basic goal set that the mind (this universe projection) was established upon.

Repair of Importance:
I am alternating visualizing her space in blackness and visualizing her space in light. Producing some good yawning off of energies. For my mind, it is always ultimately about aesthetic sensations.
Okay, feeling more causative now.


Level Two
Select a non-significant incident:  separating curds from whey
Select an object from that incident: white curds
Select a PT object that is different from the white curds: orange notebook
How is it different?
- much yawning
- it took a few minutes to sort the curds out from the utensils and container in the scene
 
Select another PT object that is different: Headphones
How is it different?
- this exercise also invokes a certain discipline to stick with the one scene and not wander off into other scenes involving curds
- some discharge re white vs black - ran some havingness

Select a PT object that is similar; how is it similar?
- Done

Run havingness

29May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Ever wake up in the morning with a super-realization? One that has you saying to yourself, "OMG, what am I doing to myself!?!"
This a.m. it was a super-realization about thirst for (and aversions to) taste sensation vs doing what I know is life-enhancing. I threw all my canned foods out and the rice too. I can see now why people don't want to read labels or otherwise know about ("must not know") the foods they enjoy eating. And it would be an overt for me to force them to know just as it would be an overt for the food industry to prevent people from knowing. However, I hold myself responsible for taking responsibility and control for what I personally know.

What is also different about this realization is that it is not about getting into a games condition with the "powers-that-be" and their non-life goals. It is simply about taking command power over my own mind's thirst for taste sensations. This super-realization had been sneaking up on me because recently I noticed that my palate/my body was not in tune anymore with what my mind thinks tastes good. Well, except perhaps for that chocolate brownie - my palate did at least in the first few seconds get a thrill too.

So that's the good news: palate is changing towards favoring more alkalyzing foods (this started occurring after I did a series of broad array address to various parasites of the body, using herbs). But mind still holds onto the sensational food experiences of the past. But for whatever reason, those beautiful memories of macaroni and cheese or steak or burgers, or pizza, etc. just do not play out anymore in present time. In fact, I had to throw out my latest attempt to recover the past - my latest mac 'n cheese dish just didn't do it for me anymore. And this morning I threw out the rice - I still recall how good it all used to taste.  What happened?!?!?  What's going on ?!?! That's my mind crying out :-))

However, my frozen fruit smoothies are tasting better and better and I suspect are more life-enhancing (read "alkalyzing") for the body.

Oh, gosh, I'm recalling all those lifetimes in royal palaces and bourgeois pig lifetimes and all those aesthetic presentations of acidifying chef creations:  In the 1700's knoshing on floury pastries and serving up great Germanic dinner parties. My mind laments. But taste sensation was not all that it was about - aesthetics really held it in. You can almost always trap a being once you know his aesthetic attachments and aversions, and get him to agree with your own non-life intentions and sensational cravings. Or you can get a being to stay in a trap by provoking a games condition with those non-lifers and he can continue to agree to ignore the handling of his own mind's cravings. He's only going to stop eating such and such non-life foods as a protest against the food industry, etcetera.  Sorry, won't work. He must first get command power over his own mind, not the minds of others.

It is no different from a therapist seeking to "therapise" others and ignoring his own therapeutic needs.

My body's palate is being re-trained and now should I re-train my mind? Hmm, well, I'm really vanishing my mind so why would I bother to re-train it? Well, as long as a repair of importance is necessary .... let's just go with the flow here.

Repair of Importance
It would be a life-goal towards the body to bypass the food industry because even "organic" foods are mishandled. Now, I don't want to get too obsessed about this because once the mind is vanished a being has a lot more options than hanging onto a body in order to play a game. But if I keep pursuing sensation via bodies I will never be free of body games.

To the ape there are three kinds of fruits: unripe - ripe - fermenting.

Yes, the "ape-life" can also be viewed as a sensation trap. Biospheres are at their best aesthetic traps, especially for those who once created them to be traps. We all eventually fall into our own traps, but because life is hierarchical we might not recognize it as long as we seek status within that hierarchy. And that hierarchy includes the priestly and "sacred", "spiritual" roles too - all of the mind though.

What sort of inducement would it take for a relatively expanded being to agree to shrink its viewpoint to that of a grub? I have seen such traps of covert inducement. My best friend used to forcefully throw his associates into this universe as a punishment - and now look where we are, and we don't even realize what we have done to ourselves - the futility of trying to win a game over another. The futility of trying to win the game over our own mind. Yes, from the highest viewpoint it is about the creation of the mind and the experiencing of that creation.

Forget all the rest and simply work towards removal of the tent pegs that hold the mind/universe in place. We here on this Practice Log forum are doing the highest activity, taking the highest responsibility for the creation of our own minds.

The laughter that comes when I really realize that I put myself into this viewpoint vs my prior stance that it was somehow done to me. The laughter of rejection of the belief that it was "done to you", while you are seeing how you did it to yourself.  Seeing that I am inside the crystal ball that I created and laughing at my own joke on myself. 

The egoic entity cries for its sudden great loss (my gain) and so I must walk around mindfully touching things.  Oh, what a joke I played on myself. That "person" or identity within the mind is made up, although real enough, and truthfully what "I" say is real is real. The "I" did an admirable job. My naturopath says that it is a beautiful thing to now see "Consciousness" training itself, now that it has explored its heights and depths.

Dennis wisely says nothing of all these things except what needed to be said to safely and correctly do the vanishment activities. However, he had his own stacks of notes about such realizations, and he chose to keep them to himself.

My clearing partner discovered that mindfully placing hands across the chest is also a de-stressor and can be part of a Repair of Importance exercise.

Repair of Importance is simply doing consciously what one does all day long.

Level Two

Select a non-significant incident: eating a green apple
Select an object from that incident: a green apple with a bite taken out of it
Select a PT object that is different: a basket
How is it different?:
- began looking at neurotransmitters, electrics, and magnetics
- yawning
- once again able to overlay the two objects and see them full-color holographically - occupying the same space, yet not; able to see how they are "different"


Running out of allotted time - Run havingness

30May15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Repair of Importance - Mindfully Touching Things

Experienced a burst of laughter as I saw myself picking wild herbs and comfrey from the backyard and brewing a tea and I realized I had been withholding that from myself - I had been mentally withholding something positive from the body. The mind goes a bit quiet while touching things and these realizations come through.

Recall of mother and g'mother trying to abort fetus with a handy poison and my dad poisoning me with alcohol at a very young age and I recall once I made muffins for my younger brother and I obeyed the compulsion to add some powdered laundry detergent to it so I could see the expression on his face when he ate the muffin, from which I derived a sensational pleasure. That little history lesson shows me I have some heavy motivators and overts on the goal of "To Poison", not necessarily this lifetime (giving a lavish dinner party and being instructed to poison one of the guests - where? Italian lifetime), but it certainly was re-stimulated by my action towards my brother. I also recall telling my mom I would poison her mother if she bothered her anymore. I have to ask myself now where did I at such a young age fixate on such extreme solutions?

Of course all my non-life goals can be traced back to the first individuation and the intense self-hatred and hatred for "that creator" that was no longer "me". That Great Wall of Confusion. Level Five will terminatedly address that.

So, it is more clear to me from recent history of my track why I obsess over the "To Eat" goals package. Not everyone has such a negative track keyed-in this lifetime; however the thirst for sensation beats strong in our hearts and minds.

As I'm touching things I also notice I'm feeling friendlier towards myself, my body, all my food prep utensils, etc., towards life and livingness. The stressors of both negative and positive compulsions Re health and wellness feel much lighter.

As I'm doing the touching of things I've also noticed some sort of shift in my experiencing of the sensation of touch.

Level Two

Select a non-significant incident: chopping a cabbage
Select an object from that incident: head of cabbage
Select a PT object that is different: plastic drawer; how is it different?
- again it is a simultaneous holographic type of viewing of the two objects
- mild yawning
- when people and some animals are feeling starvation they will eat things they do not normally eat and thus the decline of the "To Eat"
   goal set into its negatives, which starts with simply eating and drinking things that have less and less nutritive value - a solution that
   creates more problems because less nutritive foods require additives to adjust or mask the flavor/taste so that it mimics the nutritive foods
- animals self-medicate on herbs, etc. to counteract fungi and other parasites, for example ungulates with liver flukes will self-medicate
   on comfrey
- now I'm seeing a possible cross-packaging of the "To Eat" and the "To Create" goals with their attendant sensations of taste and
  aesthetics
- looking at the translucent plastic drawer face brings up scenes of delicious foods wrapped in translucent sheets of steamed rice flour,
  so how is it different? Ah, also the translucent boiled cabbage leaf. "Must Create" and "Must Eat" (both for their particular sensations)
  are activated
- fascinated with the alchemical concept of transmutation

NOTE: When one is spotting differences one could use the Scale of Sensations:
From "The Resolution of Mind":
"SENSATIONS:
These are particles which occur at the boundary between opposing postulates. Like emotions, there is a scale of sensations. As the space opens up the sensations change to ones further up the scale. Pain is a sensation in very collapsed space. Further upscale is sexual sensation. Then tickles. Above this is heat. Then electrical sensations. Then color, and finally pure aesthetics at the top of the scale. The ones listed here are only some of the well known landmarks on the scale. There is a near infinity of gradations between all of them. Thus emotions and sensations are very elusive things when you contact them in recall; as soon as you touch them they vanish and become something else further up scale."

3June15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Good news: my clearing partner has started to take Dennis' Level Four seriously, although I am don't know if he has totally completed Level Three, however his initial running of Level Four seemed to clear his current upset. Last night partner was in attic with smart phone and video'd the phenomenon of shining orbs passing through the material world as if it did not exist.

Repair of Importance

The creative visualization version of this exercise was difficult and so I got up and started walking around mindfully touching things in the room and after 30 minutes I started to relax and smile and laugh; then after the next 30 minutes I started to yawn off - a phenomenon of releasing energies - and present time objects started to look more real, brighter as I separated from my thoughts and was more simply "here", without thoughts of pasts and futures. So, I must say that this exercise, when consistent with Dennis' instructions, is effective and a great pre-practice prep.

Level Two

Select a non-significant scene:
Select an object from that scene: pink shorts
Select a present time object that is different: teddy bear
How is it different?
- Almost everything that I have around me was gotten without having to pay money, but simply through postulation
- plenty o' yawns
- objects carry more importance if there is a bit of unresolved conflict between "must" and "must not" have: sensation particles
  are generated between the two opposing or conflicting postulates.
- release of must-be-known compulsion regarding both objects
- checking other objects in the room for the must-be-known postulate
- I always consider it a big score when I can reduce the importance of this particular postulate set (must-be-known (me) <> must know
  (other)).
- One can also assign postulates to objects, for example a child pretends the doll is a live entity with the postulate that it must be known.
- Awareness of different identities within the mind with the potential to fulfill the must-be-known postulate
- Thankfulness

Select an object in present time that is similar. How is it similar?


Ending off with more Repair of Havingness - I can see how my mind will abhor this sudden loss of "havingness" and start dramatizing if I do not do the repair of havingness - or what Dennis calls "Importance", which is a more all encompassing term.

Repair of Importance
For the past week I've been making myself do this as soon as I arise from sleep, before the mind gets going.


Level Two
Almost thought I would not be able to pull this off because I felt quite apathetic or energy-less, but I actually did - and with two incidents, two objects and yawned off some charge.

Ended off with Repair of Importance and enjoyed listening to audio of first third of Tao Te Ching.

All  of the above keeps the sense of apathy and loss from being overwhelming.

Repair of Importance

Upon arising in the a.m. - mindfully touching things until no more change occurred.

Took a break and performed some domestic duties. Not feeling much zeal or ambition, which might be a good thing??? 
Topped up with more Repair of Importance (yawned off energies) before starting Level Two


Level Two

Select a non-significant incident: 
Select an object from that incident:
Select an object in present time environment. How is it different?

NOTE: Did not get started on Level Two - allowed myself to get distracted onto other "important" things - at least they seemed important at the time, but truthfully it is a matter of not having enough command power over a wandering mind.

Repair of Importance

Environmental stressors reduced and so this a.m. the time needed to repair importances was greatly reduced. Perhaps too it was all the hours I spent yesterday, 'yesterday' offering up more reasons to feel stressed.

The practices that Dennis offers towards Nirvana are quite simple but demand exact duplication or else one will have a hard time of it and eventually quit or try to change it to make it easier. I have seen and experienced how wonky one can get if not doing enough Repair of Importances while working to dissipate fixated importances.

Last night my clearing partner spoke quite clearly about John Galusha's mind vanishing techniques, called "Idenics". I have in the past used this technique on a subject and have had a few sessions run on me and expect my clearing partner to study up and practice on me.

John G.'s tech handles what Dennis would call "Junior Universes", which could make Idenics the missing piece that seems to be needed to help very compulsive people seeking cessation of mind step up to the plate and boldly take on the deeper levels of vanishment that must be done in order to experience the eternal bliss and joy of nirvana. Remains to be tested.

The major problem of having a very compulsive mind is that it either runs away from one or it intrudes/impinges upon one and that makes any practice a real trial. In addition, it appears you can't clear anything out of it without consciously replacing it with something else - until the end. Idenics, whether John G. did this consciously or not, does have its own sort of "Repair of Importance".

For example, when I do the R.I. or Level Two, my mind wanders - grabbing at passing significances - and it might take several minutes before I even realize it and regain control. That has been the main reason my sessions can take up to four hours, especially with the R.I., leaving only a short time left for the Level Two, and I can't see myself making good gains with Level Two, processing only one object per day. Seems like I would have to be doing about three hours of Level Two - processing three objects at least -  to get past the make or break point of timebreaking....And on to Level Three which involves timebreaking all the significant incidents.

So, the test of Idenics is to see if it will help me more quickly address any fixed identities that I use that slow or stop my clearing work.

I received a photocopied .doc file of the original Idenics course pack from John Galusha via Frank Davis (aka "porkchoplane") who told me John gave it to him with a request to give it to anyone who wanted it (Mike Goldstein has a lock on the name and charges $5k for the course). Last night I began re-typing the badly photocopied pages and will send to those who ask for it.

As I was walking around "mindfully" touching things it felt to me that still was not working - the "mindful" part at least, so I went to a even lower gradient towards getting commmand power over the mind and decided to do the exercise as a series of commands:

"Look at that wall" - "Walk over to that wall" - "Touch that wall" - "Turn around" -- done from one wall to the wall on the opposite side of the room, over and over again until no more change. 

I ended off when I started laughing at the realization that it was my mind that did not want to do this exercise, not me. It is my mind that protests and dramatizes, not me. I could make that a "me" if I wanted to, but I don't have to if I don't want to and at that moment I chose that I did not want to. Had a good laugh of the type "the joke's on me".

NOTE: This command process is actually part of a series of processes that Hubbard put in writing for any practitioner to use on someone who is more seriously compulsive and lacks "presence". Someone seriously stuck in their mind. The whole series of processes is actually quite effective on people who have had or are near a nervous breakdown; however this singular process appears to be very similar to Dennis' "Repair of Importance" (touching the furniture, etc.) that I decided to see if it would undercut and help me resolve the difficulty I was having with the "mindful" aspect. I would say that in this one trial that it did the job for me....took me over two hours to come to that particular subjective understanding of my relationship with my mind.

9-10June15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Notes on Perceptual Repair of Importance - 9June15:
Perceptual RI is beginner level RI, and Creative RI is preferred and more effective if one can stick with it. "To Create" gets squashed at an early age with most so Perceptual RI can be best for me for now, but Dennis recommends learning to do Creative RI asap. I tried it and felt a loss more often than not and so decided to drop down to perceptual RI for now. Even that - I'm not 100% certain I'm doing it correctly.

The practices that Dennis offers towards Nirvana are quite simple but demand exact duplication or else one will have a hard time of it and eventually quit or try to change it. I have seen and experienced how wonky one (myself and others) can get if not doing enough Repair of Importances while working on a core practice to dissipate fixated importances.


For example, when I do the R.I. or Level Two, my mind wanders and it might take several minutes before I even realize it and regain control. That has been the main reason my sessions can take up to four hours, especially with the R.I., leaving only a short time left for the Level Two, and I can't see myself making good gains with Level Two, processing only one object per day. Seems like I would have to be doing about three hours of Level Two - processing three objects at least -  to get past the make or break point of timebreaking....And on to Level Three which involves timebreaking all the significant incidents.

As I was walking around "mindfully" touching things it felt to me that still was not working - the "mindful" part at least, so I went to a even lower gradient towards getting commmand power over the mind and decided to do the exercise as a series of commands:

"Look at that wall" - "Walk over to that wall" - "Touch that wall" - "Turn around" -- done from one wall to the wall on the opposite side of the room, over and over again until no more change. I did not spend more than 30 seconds each, touching the wall, looking at the wall, etcetera.

I ended off when I started laughing at the realization that it was my mind that did not want to do this exercise, not me. It is my mind that protests and dramatizes, not me. I could make that a "me" if I wanted to, but I don't have to if I don't want to and at that moment I chose that I did not want to. Had a good laugh of the type "the joke's on me". Always, some degree of realization of identification with the mind and separating out from the mind is a good session result.

NOTE: This command process is actually part of a series of processes that Hubbard put in writing for any practitioner to use on someone who is more seriously compulsive and lacks "presence". Someone seriously stuck in their mind (neurotic, even psychotic). The whole series of processes is actually quite effective on people who have had or are near a nervous breakdown; however this singular process appears to be very similar to Dennis' "Repair of Importance" (touching the furniture, etc.) that I decided to see if it would undercut and help me resolve the difficulty I was having with the "mindful" aspect. I would say that in this one trial that it did the job for me....took me over two hours to come to that particular subjective understanding of my relationship with my mind.

I noticed that for the rest of the day I felt less resistive towards others and even a modicum of compassion, understanding, but no time left to do Level Two.


10June15 - More on Repair of Importances
My mind might (and does) tell me otherwise, but really I do have available to me many hours - up to 6 to 8 hours of the day to do my clearing work. I persisted through the list of "other things" my mind was throwing up and took about four hours to repeat yesterday's RI, breaking it down into steps of verbal commands; however I ended feeling less than relaxed although I did have some proper realizations during the process, but still some sort of dissatisfaction.

Later that evening I re-read Dennis' write-up about Perceptual RI and discovered that perhaps there was something I had missed because now I'm getting the idea that he means for me to really touch and perceive the object - until no more change occurs.

Dennis' instructs:

"There is another class of RI called RI by perception. This is where the being repairs his scarcity of importances by increasing his contact with, and reality of, an existing importance in the present time physical universe. As any solid object has a residual importance postulate within it, we therefore see that a being can repair his scarcity of importance
by physically contacting such a solid present time physical universe object.
Grasping such an object with your hands and feeling its solidity, temperature, texture etcetera, will repair importance.Many beings who have difficulty with the creative RI commands will be able to use RI by perception. Any being who can use the creative RI exercises will also be able to use RI by perception, but should use the creative version by preference."


I red-lettered what I might have been missing and that brought up the question: "How long am I supposed to do this with one object before I go to the next object? - until no more change regards that one particular object?"

In addition to saying "...no more change" he also says,

"Tell me, did running perceptive RI make you feel a wee bit queasy in your stomach?
Touching all those solid objects? It did? Good.
Continue with it until you feel relaxed
once more
."


I know I'm making this harder than it should be and I think what I missed were the instructs I red-lettered. So today I chose one object to start with and put both hands on it and perceived it as he said. Yes, my mind went through some stuff, i.e., changes and it was quite uncomfortable at one point and then it stopped and I felt relaxed. It took about 15 minutes (felt like forever while experiencing the height of the mental discomfort) and then I did feel relaxed. Should I continue on to another object and do the same thing? No, I did not want to go through that again and I do feel relaxed now and I should be good now to do Level Two. So, "...no more change" equates to "...feel relaxed once more." I'm taking a win that it took me no more than 20-minutes to feel relaxed and ready to do Level Two, whereas before I did the RI exercise I felt some fear and panic at the thought of doing Level Two. That's gone.

Re the last two days of running Perceptual RI - giving out loud step-by-step commands -  I would not recommend it as a routine for Perceptual RI. I tried to hack Perceptual RI.

13June15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

A woman whom I took a PEAT course with called me out of the blue and it was very encouraging to see a demonstration of one who has obtained a great deal of release from the mind and sees the universe as basically friendly. She said her stated purpose for being here is to merge dualities and it appears she has certainly done the work over lifetimes, including this one. As I continue my clearing activities I can see more consistently taking on her attitude.

Repair of Importance
I feel relaxed and can begin Level Two. Took no more than 20 minutes this time to feel relaxed and the only thing I changed was to spend more time with the first object - until I felt relaxed and I did not feel the need to perceive any other objects.

Level Two
A. Select a non-significant incident: 
  • Finding a yellow binder clip
  • Placing sticky-back circular black foam pad
  • Petting the mullein plant

B. Select an object from that incident: 
  • yellow clip
  • black circle foam
  • mullein leaf

C. Select an object in PT that is different. How is it different? 
  • stuffed bear
  • yellow graphic; a small apple graphic
  • light cover

D. Select an object in PT that is similar. How is it similar?
- Done




NOTES:
Check into Hubbard's process of spotting black spots in the room ("COHA")

Level Two timebreaking went well and outside of the Sit I found myself rather spontaneously comparing something in my mind with something in the room - and that should happen more often. I also took a win on bulking up on the incidents and objects. Not much yawning, just the effort of doing the exercise.

16June2015 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Repair of Importance: 8:00 a.m.

Reading John Galusha's more detailed description of what he calls
"mock-up processng" helped me understand what I am supposed to be
doing, and some gradients.

Yesterday I left off with police cars all around me and ran out the
shock and fear of that. So, I'm checking on it, putting police cars
all around me - some yawns. Now I'm putting a negative city official
all around me.

If I have a hard time making the mockups spherical around me I can
start on a gradient with one or two in front of me and build up the
numbers until they are all around me spherical. I can even use the 6-
directions process if that helps, but remember this drill is to repair
scarcity of importances, however since the mind loves a problem,
mocking up negative people or scenes can likewise be viewed as
"havingness" of a sort. Don't be fooled by pretenses of aversion.

Now Marge is creating a negative city official at her front door.
The advantage to doing this is that I also get to feel her emotions -
fear, etc.

In other words, I'm having Marge "create a problem" and then putting
that all around me.  She lies in bed at night and creates problems,
worries. In a negative sense it is great "havingness of importance", and
it recognizes the duality of the mind.

Level Two:
Select a non-significant incident:
- putting mayonnaise on a slice of bread
- Looking at a slice of watermelon

Select an object from that incident:
- white mayonnaise
- slice of watermelon

Select an object in PT that is different: How is it different?
- small table top
- tall candle in glass vase

Select an object in PT that is similar. How is it similar
- i'net photo of slice of bread with mayo
- i'net photo of circular watermelon slice

Take a break for RI:
- more police cars (discharging)
- Ralph creating motorcycles

I can't believe I'm sitting down to do another session
I actually want to do this. Good to do this while I'm feeling so
mellow.


Repair of Importance:
pawpaw fruit
R. creates a toasted cheese sandwich

Level Two
I've had a slight shift of importance towards Level Two. I am so used
to running processes for case gain that I mayhave missed the proper
emphasis of Level Two. I think I will do better if I simply view it as
an exercise for learning how to timebreak and so the emphasis will be
on how many objects and how many (non-significant) scenes can I pump
out in one session, over and over again with enough quantity and
frequency that I have passed the test of Level Two and can start Level
Three.

Select a non-significant incident:
- Making an egg sandwich

Select an object from that scene:
- A raw egg

Select an object in PT that is different. How is it different?:
- sheet of reflectix (discharging)

Select an object in PT that is similar. How is it similar?:

Notes: The first incident/object dragged out because of aesthetic
significances re colors and "shine", etc - lots of yawns and only
mildly uncomfortable, so OKAY to continue, otherwise take a break for
some RI.

I did break off and surround myself with the color yellow until I felt
relaxed about it.

About creative RI I'm taking the tact that to create multiple copies
and put them all around me spherical is a sure thing, but it's okay
too to create one holographic image or scene and put that around me
spherical, just that I'm more certain that I am handling scarcity by
doing both multiple copies and arranging them spherical around me.
That should surely repair scarcity of importances.

The yellow was starting to make me feel a little hyper and I now feel
more relaxed after some RI involving color yellow.

Repair of Importances: 5pm

- garden clippers (discharging)
 
went to bed with garden clippers still hanging fire in my mind.

18June15 Toward vanishing the mind

Repair of importance

Took up the garden clippers again and it finally resolved - I feel relaxed about them. Competency in one's endeavors is a joy, however, compulsive or neurotic urges can sidetrack one from achieving competency, so suddenly the garden clippers fell into place in the whole scheme of things as did the urge to "snip, snip, snip". It has its place in other words, but is not the overriding "reason why". For example my highly neurotic grandmother used to purchase raisin bread and promptly nervously proceed to pick out the raisins. Harmless enough I suppose, but I don't think she otherwise liked raisin bread.


Having S'one else create s'thing:
The person initially had more importance for me than when this was over. They became smaller as I saw the bigger game; my focus zoomed out as I continued to copy them and their creations around me. I felt a lessening of a compulsion to know or to be known and became more content to be right here and now with my surroundings.

Last night googled Hubbard's "Remedy of Havingness" and re-read. How I used to eat his every word and now I can discern more than he could at that time, and I do admire him for giving us a good running start back in the 50's. What a great time to be part of his endeavors. How fortunate I was to be on this planet at that time, leading me to this endeavor.

An excerpt:

"Gravity is a manifestation of havingness. When you have a solidity, such as a planet, it itself is in continuous and continual terminal exchange with a body or another mass. And people get that on an unconscious level. They’re not conscious of this at all. And they begin to dramatize it by having to have and wantingness. It’s a flow, a terminal manifestation. And that is gravity.

So much mass is there that the mass itself attracts to it other masses – that’s gravity. And that’s also wantingness. That’s appetite. That’s why here on earth people eat people, animals eat people, people eat animals, all other kinds of manifestations."

Repair of Importances:

self) Multiple mock-ups of a Marge person all around me, repeatedly
- discharging

another) R. creating a Marge person

Level Two:

Select a non-significant incident:
- eating watermelon
- watching doves
  - break for RI -
- Checking out the mullein plant

Select an object from that incident:
- plate of watermelon chunks
- a dove
- mullein plant

Select a PT object that is different. How is it different?
- table top (hardly a yawn)
- teddy bear (discharging)
- candle vase (discharging); another plant (discharging)

Select an object in PT that is similar. How is it similar?
- i'net picture of plate of watermelon
- picture of a dove (discharging)
- picture of mullein plant (discharging)

"I'm here now and I don't need to let past decisions "aid/goad me" anymore because I'm now doing this and this is enough"

Take a break for RI:
self )- a very angry and hateful being (much discharge); some stuff sure got stirred up however now feel relaxed and calm.

another) - R. creates N.'s; it's like not only taking responsibility for my own creations but also for another's creations - flattening fixed considerations about another's creations. She was R.'s "service unit", lol, as the energies dissipate and the game becomes lighter, less serious, as I see how this mock-up served R. over the years.

As the individuated ones went through the gamut of the "To Know" matrix they learned various behaviors and now it is simply a matter of restoring full conscious and discerning choice. This rather blase viewpoint coming from me is a good sign that I'm coming unstuck from the past. Lots of work ahead though.

End of Sit

Notes: Clearing partner is now reading the works of Zivorad Slavinsky, namely "PEAT". It has come to light that Zivorad spent a month studying with John Galusha and his "IDENICS" mental clearing tech. It also appears that Richard Flook of "ACE" studied Zivorad and adopted/adapted his techniques. Dennis' Level Four and Level Five have still not been matched, although it is presumed that these techs will make it easier and more likely for a person to start and complete Dennis' program.

11August15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Have established a routine of creative visualization for self and others - in the a.m. and sometimes during the daily break if I feel wanting-ness.

Partner coming along with his life repair work and I do notice improvements in his attitude towards life.

We are focusing in on Idenics as a gradient undercut or aid for Dennis' practices. Both practices get the person to look at the past and break it off from being stuck in the present. Both practices get the person to look at their goal sets and resolve them, further discreating the mind.

Idenics does not get the being to re-view his original goal sets (the "To Know" matrix) thus Dennis' work and practices still need to be run to accomplish the complete discreation of the mind.

In my last Idenics session a few days ago and since then I notice a calmer attitude toward my partner. This session made me take another look at how I was before an incident as a toddler and how I chose to be after the incident, and I saw how I got unconsciously stuck in that postulated identity as a way to handle certain interactions. I saw the dwindling spiral of self-limitation from my prior postulated identity. Now that that is unfixed I find I have not around me the same circumstances that were in that incident and so I don't feel a need to reactively respond to similarities because now I can see what is different now from what was then, and in fact the "then" incident does not even seem to come up in that respect.

Towards the end of the session I saw some original games being played whereby the childhood incident was simply a continuation and really not that important at all compared with the larger importances I held even before bodies existed, and in that original incident I simply had to return to a complementary interaction - such as demonstrated in an animated Tao symbol. Seeing the larger and earlier scene helped me to currently feel more complementary with life.

In Idenics one is also asked to do creative work so as to fill the remaining mind's hunger for importances. Knowing now how wonky I can get if I don't do enough creation of self-generated importances after a discreation of mind,  I make sure I do the "Repair of Importance" as instructed by Dennis as a morning routine. I always get big yawns doing it and then brighten up and the world around me brightens too.

I'm also still honoring the body-mind connection and staying close to a frugivore diet which I believe aligns with the "Saatvic" diet recommended for meditators. Watermelon is in season and I feel no bad mental effects from eating it (unlike msg-laden foods and white sugar).

So, to sum, instead of continuing into a tighter and tighter spiral or fractal of increasingly limited options I am moving backwards through the created spiral, discreating the fixed mental limitations and feeling more "my old self" which is still mind stuff - no delusions about that. And so the goal this lifetime is to continue until I have reached a certainty of "No Mind" and wiser for the experience, understanding the nature of (and futility of) everything I've been striving for all this lifetime and these eons of existence.

I am gaining confidence that I can DIY my Idenics sessions although they run better when my clearing partner is present to keep me from swimming and keep me on track.

Using the self-enquiry of Idenics is an aid to Dennis' "Level Three" which would mean I am a graduate of Level Two with which I struggled for quite a time and finally found my peace with it after re-reading and re-reading Dennis instructs.

If while running Idenics on myself I get stuck in an incident I have the resource to run some Level Two on it. I also have the resource of the Six-Directions command. I'm very glad Dennis brought home to me the importance of viewing the past with my eyes open to present environment: that right there is Level Two. Even with eyes open, if I start swimming in the importances of an incident the present environment starts to fade away which is why it is necessary to have these tools and guidances. I lived briefly with someone who was psychotic and I would notice that they were almost continually not looking at the present environment but rather looking at something from the past. For example if there was a door here and now they were not seeing that door but perhaps a prison door from a past incident and that is why one might wish to cultivate compassion for the neurotic and insane, not to mention good practices to help bring them into seeing and responding to their present environment.

Clearing work is now more onto Dennis' Level Three timebreaking, occasionally falling back on Level Two when something in an incident sticks my attention. As I suppose one could call "training wheels" for Level Three, I'm using alternately Richard Flook's original ACE commands or the command sheet of the Idenics practice.

With insight from Dennis and my clearing partner and reviewing my past sessions I realized I was sticking myself into a junior universe of "mother" and I decided to take up the chronic emotions, etc. associated with this within this lifetime. But invariably, after clearing up this lifetime fallouts, significances from last lifetime show up and then quickly back to the really sticking point of the Incident of Separation, let's call it.

I DIY'd a session about my G'mother which went quite well. I simply kept looking at her as my mind brought up scenes from the past. I had some stuck attention on her beautiful auburn hair and dropped down to Level Two and that worked well. By the end of the session I had a very different and much lighter attitude towards her.

My clearing partner gave me an Idenics session and I got to drop a female identification with my Aunt who had a motherly influence on me.

Today I roused myself enough to give myself a DIY session and I used the ACE commands. Basically ACE asks one to alternately release on something and then asks, "what's behind that?" and one keeps going back, alternately experiencing and releasing, until one gets to before that energy, etc. ever was created: A quiet zone for the most part. From that viewpoint one asks oneself a series of questions and then ends the session replacing the lost energies, etc. so that the mind does not get over-active outside of a session.

Today's topic addressed chronic sadness and grief. Going through the ACE commands I dispelled the grief and ran into raging self-hatred; however, "behind that" was electrical sensations cycling with unconsciousness. I threw in some repeater technique on the phrase that came up: "It's too much for me" due to the intensity of the electrical sensations, and then I worked through the unconsciousness by applying the six-directions technique.

Streams of passing significances throughout the session. I realized I was holding onto these opposing sensations because I liked them, and they were self-enforced. Wake/Sleep cycling.

Original Postulate:
To keep going; similar to playing "chicken" with oneself; intrigued with concept of infinity; how far would a being go before it "returned".

Saw how I was recently seeking sensation watching Korean Soap Opera and this session helped me let go of it.
Following the ACE line of questioning I also saw that I would "get sensible" instead of sensational seeking. Every session helps me to get a little bit more command power over the mind.

Finished up with Repair of Importance.

4Sep15 Toward Vanishing the Mind


Observations about Repair of Importances:
  • Dennis Stephens helped me understand the importance of doing creative visualization to aid my core practice of discreation.
  • Then I started looking around at other ways to fill in the hole left in the mind after a discreate practice.
  • Walter Russell's emphasis on rhythmic balanced exchange ("Secret of Light") made me feel that I am doing a rhythmic balanced exchange with my mind - it gives up something and I give it something back so it won't feel a lack or scarcity of "problems". This is a wonderful departure from the usual games condition I am in with my mind.
  • I do recall when I had a lot of fixed attention on the universe as a toroid in rhythmic balanced motion.
  • This brought me back to focusing on the breath (until no more change occurs, per Dennis' instructs whenever running a technique on oneself).
  • At one point it felt a bit like "eating" (i.e., havingness, resolving considered scarcity)
  • I also noted there is a point of "hangup" between the intake and outtake, which agrees with Dennis' theory of the mind and it's hangups between two opposing goals (i.e., "must go to China" <-> "must not go to China"); "must breathe in <-> must not breathe in.". Altough I never looked at it that way before and will have to take a closer look.
  • I feel the practice of focusing on the breath helps me be complementary with a body and cellular automaticity.

This also agrees with John Galusha's Idenics self-enquiry:  "In the middle of that shift, that confusion, was there a quietness (no motion)?" Then he asks one to see the decision(s) made right there before one shifted the mind's goalset to a new one.

So focusing on the breath also produces change (discharge) and remedies scarcity, doing the creative visualization (mock-ups) allows me to look at the "other" and visualize what they want and I find value in taking a long look at another's needs and wants and creating that too. Learning to be more complementary with others.

Although Dennis and John came out of the same hothouse of scientology, they did not work together and never knew of each other. John has this to say about what he calls "mock-ups":

"This is a very useful tool to use in conjunction with handling identities and goals.
It is Quick and Simple.

A mock-up is defined as a mental image made in present time. However,
most people, when told to mock up something that needs to be handled,
will mock of some scene or mass from the past. No point in quibbling
with that – simply have the person make two or three copies of it.
“Make another one, just like it nearby.” Usually, the first copy
will blow the charge. More copies remedy the scarcity of whatever it
is.Therefore, mocking up something and making copies of it accomplishes two things:
1) Discharge, and 2) Remedy of scarcity. [Dennis makes it clear that Repair of Importance
is crucial for continuing case gain,because it remedies considerations of scarcity of importances.]"

Identities
John G. says "identities" and Dennis sees them as a class of "Junior Universes".

Here is his short list of such junior universes:
Mothers. Fathers. Relations. Friends. Associates. Clothes. Food. Excreta. Body parts. Male bodies. Female bodies.
Baby bodies. Pets. Animals. Birds. Fishes. Insects. Bacteria. Plants. Robot bodies. Machines. Valuable
masses. Important masses. Large masses. Energy sources. Energy. Gases. Emotions. Sensations. Time. Space.
Games. Death. Spirits. Gods. Life.

8Aug15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

What I Saw During Last Self-Enquiry:
We followed the Idenics pattern of self-enquiry and again as usual I saw my mother and her mother all upset over her pregnancy and Dad leaving her because of it, etcetera. I disentangled myself from that some more - it's starting to get old hat. What was new was the perspective or view-point I was able to reach this time. The day before I had decided I wanted to meet the being who created this universe.

This is a rough sketch of what I came to see:

                                                                              communication
                                                                                 <- tether ->
                  O-------||||---------O
                        Creator        wall of confusion/separation           created one
                                                                                              [-4 basic postulates-]

The enquiry began into emotions of intense hatred and anger, grief, frustration, self-destruction and were traced back to their source: I as "Aware" was looking at what is represented in the diagram above.   Usually my view-point is stuck in "the created one" having a quite confusing and visceral experience, bouncing its head against and cursing the impenetrable postulate matrix and the one who is on the other side.

The Idenics self-enquiry pattern asks one to look for the confusion and the possible shift in the confusion and what was before the shift, and in this case the before-the-shift was from the view-point of the [delusional] creator to the confused and upset created one (one more cause and one more effect). The reason I say the Creator was delusional is because itself as the created one was like exclaiming, "What was I thinking ?!?!" while it was trying to fit into its newly reduced self, hardly knowing anymore that it was the creator also. My mind still recalls it as a big mess and still more to timebreak. Taking on a body is a similar experience I imagine.

However I have to admit that this time I did see a type of two-way communication or interaction tether or link so it was not as bad as I have been making it out to be, holding onto the past as if it were still happening. We did a lot of six-directions technique and making multiple copies to shake it loose before I could let go of the identification as the created one. What remained was a simpler me viewing what I diagrammed above.
Immediately after the session I lingered in the higher view-point for awhile but then hours later I had a hell of a post-session hangover with emotions of intense disgruntlement and resentment, a bit more outspoken about it too.   So I corrected my error and did more Repair of Importance ("Bring S'thing into existence and put it all around you 360"). I really wanted to hang onto that and it was with effort I went through the creative exercise. The rest of the day I was perfectly fine and enjoyed a nice, mostly purposeless stroll down to the Post Office to get stamps.  Not doing enough after session RI really put me in a pity-pot.

At one point during the day I realized I was taking a lot of space and feeling very spacious and good and so I purposely reduced my space, closed in on myself because I knew it would be the inevitable anyways. So I practiced both expanding and contracting. Also whatever I made "beautiful" I also made "ugly". There should not be this endless roller-coaster of duality, but rather a simple "is-ness", or at least a willingness to experience both view-points.
My clearing partner has a genius idea to introduce the self-enquiry pattern of Dennis' Level Four towards the end of the Idenics self-enquiry patter - when the person has recovered her higher viewpoint. " Were you forced to know...?", etcetera. I can't wait for the next rainy day to give it a good run.

Note to self: Joy and Grief appear to be two opposing values that I'm also sticking myself with and they should be addressed. I'm also starting to acknowledge sticking myself into the beingness of a "terraformer" and all its lesser beingnesses within that class of "terraformer". Soon it will be no more than a passing significance; however on the way home from the P.O. I picked up for seed-saving some crabapples, a pear, and ate some juniper berries.  emoticon It can be those "currently valuable" identities that are hardest to let go of.

25Sep15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Every a.m. upon awakening and after taking care of body needs I sit up in bed and begin the "Create Something" routine, followed by "Have Another Create Something". Usually I do not follow that up with a session as I still allow my mind its rulership and begin to get antsy to "do things", and, yes, they always seem so important; however there is a growing sense of "how important is any of this in the long run, for I shall someday die?"

My clearing partner is helping me guide myself through the Idenics self-enquiry regarding my major ascension experience when I was getting sessions from Robert DuCharme using his expanded Dianetics form of questioning. It resulted in a major crash for which I am now rather grateful otherwise I would not have continued my efforts to totally resolve the mind because the psychic mass of the mind with its lust for sport was no longer pressing in on me. I am taking a very detailed look at that experience and how I decided to change during the confusion of the fall from grace.

Using Dennis Stephens' advices, I keep my eyes open with at least a minimal awareness of my present surroundings and I do notice how the mind likes to take any little similarity in the now and use it to keep the importance of the past in the now too. Dennis' timebreaking technique is spot-on; however Idenics is a good bridge or prep for one and I intend to master it and then guide others through their own self-enquiry until I am done with handling my own mind.

The last self-enquiry using Idenics strengthened my resolve to dedicate to my "truth" and continue on this path. This a.m. after doing the creative processes I took up what I felt was a small but significant enough item - my fear of spiders. I took it up yesterday briefly using the Idenics line of questioning and there was a shift in perspective as I worked through to Question Number 3. Then I got restless and went outside and worked the rest of the day; however I did do creative visualization before that. And the start of willingness to look at this instead of keeping it there as an importance began to work on me and I started to take a more friendly/curious interest in spiders.
 
I am very glad that I made the decision to withdraw from all games of commerce to get back on track working at being a guide or counselor -- even though at the time they seemed to be good business models, and no doubt at some level the products I represented do the highest good for the most amount of people at this time. The problem is that on this planet it seems the downside is that there is always some element of profit-taking at the expense of others and I always had the nagging doubt which I was unable to fully resolve, even though I am aware of the expenses incurred in any business and the hypocrisy of people who loudly protest the profit-motive. CEO's and hamburger flippers alike are prone to self-aggrandizement. Done with that though because as one clears their mind there is less and less mind there that needs to be serviced, thus needing money; one's mere postulation of something produces results, while staying in a rhythmic and balanced exchange with lifeforms.

In addition to the above, I also became aware of a possible technological paradigm shift and decided to learn more about it; however I do believe that the power of postulating is sorely under-rated and no technology can match a being who can determine and pan-determine self and others and material at will.

This a.m. I decided to take up my fear of spiders after doing my usual RI creative visualization. I brought up the incident at age three where I felt I had my first fright and I worked on it first with some Level Two, and yawns and emotional discharge occurred. Thank god I have the RI and the instructs to remain passive going for me because I did experience some unpleasant emotions and sensations. After discharging one item from this incident I started to naturally take a more expanded view of the incident and I saw my Mom and then a whole new set of the typical emotions associated with my "Junior Universe" of "Mother". The scene got a bit stuck and I did some six-directions to get it moving again. I could probably just as well done some "Repair of Importances" but I've been trained to use six-directions when there is occlusion in a scene. There was a discharge and then the importances seemed to bleed out for now and I ended the session (so many things to do outside) with "Repair of Importances" (RI), putting mothers all around me, etcetera. I was also gratified to get into mother's viewpoint too and not get stuck in my own viewpoint at that time.

As much as I like Idenics there is in my opinion much to be said for the simple direct approach that Dennis takes: get the person competent and brave at bringing up the past and using the techniques to put it back into the past by re-viewing the held onto importances and touching on the particles of emotion and sensation, discharging them - all that he calls "Timebreaking". And then as soon as the person is very competent at doing this going straight for the "jugular" -- namely the very postulates and their possible variations that form the mind. Dennis does not mess around.

The value I see with Idenics is in the beginning - perhaps if I had taken up Idenics while I was struggling mightily to get enough grip on my mind to be able to do Dennis' techniques it might not have taken me so many years to finally break into Level Three. Others will not have to suffer themselves as I did if I start them out with Idenics next to developing their skill at handling their past scenes on their own. I also see how once a person is grooved into his mind using the self-enquiry of Idenics, he could then without much rudeness or shock be guided into Dennis' Level Four as a sort of expanded Idenics. Thus we have a more inclusive bridge to Dennis' Level Five and total freedom ... nirvana.

I keep recalling the time Buddha sat under the tree and let his mind rip, remaining passive, not flinching. Then the peace.

30Oct15 Toward Vanishing the Mind

This baby has come a long way since it decided to have such a visceral experience, playing with cause and effect. There has not been much to write home about because I've created an environment - both interior and exterior - wherein not much restimulates the unconscious reactive mind, although I'm aware it is still a sleeping giant and the work is not done; however I have not been aggressively handling my mind other than a daily practice of creative visualization. This is what the Founders Course would call a positive psychology practice which they use to balance out the negative psychology practices.

However, one's creative practice - or what Dennis calls "Repair of Importances" [importances the mind is made to let go of in a session] - is restricted by the mind and gets into a rut (for example, me constantly creating fruity biospheres and putting them all around me until the mind is at least temporarily satiated).

Recently I've re-listened several times to Dennis' two lectures - one of "The Philosophy of TROM" and the other on "The Game Strategy" - to inspire me and to stir up my case. It worked.

Over the past few days I was forced to go and take a look at my compulsion re the junior goals package of "To Help". No matter how life-oriented a goals package is, when it is compulsive I run the risk of violating the ethics of force and prevention when interacting with another. All goals packages produce sensation and it is my needing that sensation that clouds my judgement when deciding to help someone. There are four legs or basic choices of any goals package and one is as sane [in present time] as one can correctly decide how to use them when interacting with self and others.

I was at the same time falling in love with the goals package of "To Reason, to Logic". All life oriented goals packages are beautiful and when employed without any bias for one leg or another one's life is beautiful and one gets along quite well in this universe with the creator's intention. This is where Dennis' Level Five activities resolve that problem once and for all.

Non-life goals, such as "To Hate", "To Degrade" are nested under their respective life-oriented goals package. For example, "To Degrade" is nested under "To Enhance". Dennis gives very strict instructions that when encountering a non-life goal to never attempt to resolve it other than through resolving held onto importances from the past of the associated life-oriented goals package. So in the case of "To Degrade" I would be plugging in each of the four legs of "To Enhance" and run out any charge and past scenes tagged with them and so bring the whole goals package into balance, unaffected negatively by anything from the past. I would be able to interact with others in a perfectly balanced and rhythmic exchange with the basic life-oriented postulates of this universe. No more hate and degradation.

While meditating upon all this I took a look at the public persona of Eckhardt Tolle and as far as I could detect he seemed to me to be an example of one who is not particulary stuck in any one leg of the "To Know" goals package. At least not compared with my own condition. I don't perceive that he particularly "must know" or "must be known" or "must not know" or "must not be known", and he seems to be able to interact with people who seek him out without overwhelming them. I wouldn't however say the same for the Dalai Lama. This is where I need to learn more about game strategies because whole personas can be created to cover up for a game strategy.

This is where the study of "The Game Strategy" becomes important for getting wise about games and staying out of trouble. In his lecture, Dennis gives the four necessary components of a game strategy.

A few days ago I received a surprisingly negative phone call in the dark of the night from someone who violently opposed my attempt to help in a situation. I went reactive and nursed my injury and could not handle this upset to restore my usual calmness but I sure was trying to understand "what just happened?!". I immediately saw my own to-help compulsion being called out and me feeling forced to look at it and admit it. There was a secretive aspect to what I did to help, however logically, using reason, there really was no way I could have created a real threat as I was being accused, so the "other" was also blowing up because a powderkeg of a game strategy in their own mind was being under threat. Two powderkegs at the same time.

Of course, senior to "To Help" is my favorite leg of the "To Know" package, i.e., "Must be Known". Must create an effect to be known by and what better effect than to help. It ever hardly occurs to me that it might be better in a situation to "not help", or "not be known", to not create any effects, where the best effect is to create no effects. If I had only knocked out the secretive aspect of my help and chosen to wait to communicate and get agreement, or no agreement .... my compulsion would not let me do that. However, I was not lacking in reason and logic backing up the help and so that is where not knowing the other's own secretive game strategy for interacting with others made it a problem.

Here is a living example of what Dennis is talking about when he discusses game strategies: I have an aunt who was married to an alcoholic in the days and times when excessive drinking was the norm and the idea that it was a "disease" not yet fully explored. One day she is safely naive in the arms of her lover and the next day after "helpfully" mentioning that he might be "alcoholic" she was literally out on the street and replaced with a female of like alcoholic condition. No second chance. He would rather have killed himself than have his entrenched and secretive (secretive even to himself) way of being exposed and no longer useful for sensation, for playing the game of life (or non-life as was his case).

These were all things I was realizing while attempting to handle that wounded feeling I was feeling. Today I started to take more action to remove the sting from my own mind and do some real Timebreaking of pivotal past scenes. I had already seen it was related strongly to "To Help" and I knew I could not run it negatively and I knew I could not run the whole package per Level Five.  I was finally able to quiet down enough to persist with some creative processing to de-stress and I could chew on this "to help" trap I created for myself.

Using the Six Directions process I took each leg of To Help one by one and, first with "to help" I moved the concept all around me six directions until scenes from the past started appearing, which I could then timebreak. Not surprisingly most of them came from childhood associations with my parents and so I was able to see and handle the basic this lifetime restimuators of the recent incident. OKAY, this is how my dad got pulled in and this is how my mother got pulled in, etcetera. It's always nice when I can see that the incident really was not about that person but really about scenes from the past involving other people. Ultimately one could say it was really not even about "people" but about postulates butting up against each other in ways that were memorable. The basic postulate set came before the people.

"Get the idea of 'to help' and put that above you .... now put it below you .... now put it to the right of you ....." a scene with Dad pops up .... now look around the room and tell me how something that is different from Dad (rudimentary Level Two timebreaking). Yawns of discharge, realizations of Dad's successful game strategies. Oh, the complicated webs we weave.

I think I could have just cut to the core of my this-lifetime case and simply practiced timebreaking all known incidents involving my parents. I certainly have the tools to safely do that, so I think I will. Dennis would heartily approve because almost all game strategies are picked up in early childhood and were successfully worked on us, and then we saw how they could be worked by us on others. This would be an appropriate activity for a Level Three practicer. The six directions process, using people from the past would help bring up occluded scenes which could then be timebroken. I thank Robert DuCharme for drilling me on the six-diretions process.

I end the meditation session by creating all around me people who like me and do that until the mind goes quiet on the subject. And my mind is really lapping this up. Being sure to keep eyes open to things around me. Then, to balance it, I have another create likable people all around them. That was a key component of my Dad's game strategy, and it worked on me.

In my experience, Dennis' practices up to Level Three work to the degree that I study, understand and work with correctly and consistently.

2Nov2015 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father

Repair of Importance Creative Exercises - Self and Another
Command: "Create an Importance"
- People with appeased minds
- Cloud of fear

Interesting: when I had another mock up fear and put that all around me I got into seeing how they express it in many different scenes the mind brought up. My conclusion is that it gave the mind some more to chew on from another's way of being and/or not being.

The very act or intention of putting the conscious creation all around me triggers the release of energies and and the start of yawning.

Timebreaking - Incidents of possible game strategies RE Father

[Timebreaking practice returns the ability to consciously bring up the past and then put it back into the past sans charged, fixed importances. Game strategies are picked up mostly from caregivers in childhood and can become fixed ways of interacting at some later point]

1. Select a scene and bring it forward into the present environment, keeping eyes open so as to be able to visually differentiate between present and past.

Feel really good that I have the ability to do that and that there is change occuring without feeling need to fixate on any passing phenomena and the scene loses its fixed importances. I can actually now hit the ball and run to first base with this practice. I'm so excited; I'm thrilled. I want to do more of this.

I'm going to end off with this winning feeling and pick up later. Being called to do some outdoors work in the yard before it gets dark.

This a.m. did Perceptual RI with a twist or additive of differentiating one object from another object while touching and worked well enough to be able to move right into some timebreaking. Noted the falling away of some previous obsessive importances.

Repair of Importance Creative Exercises - Self and Another
Objects or concepts or scenarios can be allowed here as long as it is run until no more change occurs.

Command: "Create an Importance"
- dreamless sleep (a no-games condition)




In a dreamless sleep there is no awareness, no awareness of a self, no awareness of sleeping, nothingness, but if that is the case what keeps that from being an eternal state ... comparing with the state of no-games-condition at which point one is liberated from identification with a body or persona.
So Not Know and Not Be Known are components of no games condition and the fact that there is a coming back into the dream state means there is also a To Know and To Be Known pair of postulates. And it all just happens without struggle - out of games universes/into games universes.

I see the decision to go unconscious but I don't see the decision or trigger for REM "sleep". Possibly there is an urge and I don't see it.

Not know and Not be Known are complementary to each other so there would be no game because a game requires some voluntary or involuntary opposition in order to be a game, a sport.

To Know and To be Known are also complementary and therefore would be part of a no games state.

Any slight urge for oppositional alignment of  these four postulates, whether light or serious, is a games condition. Thus going from No Games State to Games State is nothing more than a re-alignment of the basic postulates of this universe/mind. The completion of Level Five of TROM restores full ability to maintain a no games state. Also a completely voluntary games player with full understanding of the unreasonableness and futility of all games ... simply that games are fun.

Dreamless Sleep - perfect alignment of four basic postulates = No Game State
REM - variations of conflictive alignment of four basic postulates = Game
Both conditions are very enjoyable when voluntary
Trommers call this Nirvana and Bliss, bliss being a most refined energy manifestion of a voluntary game ability level

I'm not saying I have the whole picture and have a feeling I'm leaving something out and it's okay to presently not know. I knew and then it left me and I'm not going to force it. Continue on with the RI.

A beingness such as that of a Tony Parsons (a no games condition) can only persist in our minds until we fully duplicate his complementary posture. That makes him useful perhaps...  as long as one never wishes to voluntarily play games with full understanding/wisdom, self-determinism and pan-determinism. Simply be a complementary conduit or portal or vessel for the creator identity on the other side of the barrier, never a voluntary games player  There however may be the risk of an agonizing fall from that state, for the provocation will never stop in this endless universe. Nevertheless his condition is beyond human. He came to this one-sided state through application of imperfect, incomplete teachings and practices which are now understandably dead for him. There was enough basic truth about this universe/mind that helped him and that he retains and which the creator identity that he is being complementary with as an individuated being flows through him. It is a marvel and perplexity for we humans.

Dennis Stephens mastered both the no-games condition and the voluntary game player condition.

Getting late. Take up RI for another and then continue timebreaking scene with Father.

6Nov15 Towards Vanishing the Mind

I have now seen glimpses of the creator of this universe from a distance - from below and from above - and my next question is, from the viewpoint of being the creator identity is there any charge or fixedness or any confusion and shift(s) that has now become a fixed solution.

I notice when I am doing timebreaking sessions regularly it is more natural for me to timebreak during the day things that come up. For example if partner does something that I linger on about in thought, instead of forming opinions it is more natural for me to bring the scene up for re-view. Outside of formal session this is light and very swift. Fun and interesting.

Repair of Importance Creative Exercises - Self and Another (Continued from yesterday evening)
Objects or concepts or scenarios can be allowed here as long as it is run until no more change occurs.

Command: "Create an Importance"
- dreamless sleep (a no-games condition)

Most likely, in my psyche there are fixed decisions re consciousness and unconsciousness, sleeping and waking.

In the perceived identity of a body one could have the game strategy of pretending to be unconscious/asleep, not creating any effects (i.e., harmless), while secretly creating effects and/or knowing exterior to the body. Some people call them "Night Walkers". Looking at all the possibilities of game strategies makes my head spin - ugh. Look at all the things I have to get wise to if I'm ever going to be and remain a voluntary games player. Ugh.

Also in one's past going unconscious could have been a succesful way of handling a conflict - one woke up and found the source of conflict or overwhelm had gone away. Opossums and cottonmouth snakes pretend to be dead (a not-know/not-be-known) until the threat leaves. My dog slept until the t-storm was over.


Core Practice: Timebreaking: Scene with Father (Continued from yesterday)

It is a relatively inocuous scene and not heavily charged. Safe to run at my level.
More clarity to the scene and more yawning off associated energies

I'm feeling some discomfort (drowsiness/apathy) so I do some RI (self/another) before returning to timebreaking
- RI'ng an object in the scene that continues to have importance; rather embarrassing to see where I cared about objects more than I did about Life and lifeforms.

I've been working through this about 3 hours and need to get outside - will continue looking at same scene with Dad.

7Nov15 Continued

Repair of Importances (Self/Another):
- My clearing partner is important to me so I'll create more and put it all around me

We are both at the same time becoming less and less AND more and more; withdraw > engage > repeat.

Before there were physical bodies, I - in my own descended state - created these two out of an expansive nature of love and joy, and now that they are together again we are repairing the rift effects.

All life in this universe continually dramatizes all aspects of the basic Separation/Oneness event... both the bliss and the agony.

I'm having my partner create a clearing twin and that's beautiful and valuable too. I saw how my mind inserted it's own need for exclusivity, and I got past that: I maintain my value by continuing with my clearing work and being supportive of the time my twin spends doing clearing.

Shared values: Perfect agreement that the best service is as a therapist - the mind is the only thing one takes with them when they depart a body. The less mind they have when they depart the wiser/saner choices they will make for their next adventure.

Getting late - to be continued.

9Nov15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father

If I do the core practice of timebreaking and neglect the right quantity of repair of importance then I will always be as one who is mentally unstable - making self miserable more times than not. There is no rest or stability for those who eschew RI. This I have experienced.

Repair of Importances (Self/Another)
- a blue swan
- a tortoise shell cat

DONE

It's to be noted that Dennis allowed 3-4 hours for his daily practice. He was also retired and had his life in order and he had gotten hundreds of hours of prior therapy, plus some prior lifetimes along this path. It would not be fair to compare myself with him and I only need keep up the routine and do well.

It's 9:30 p.m. and I'm going to continue tomorrow.

Repair of Importance (Self/Another)

This RI was less mechanical and flowed very nicely and was very soothing. I found my mind protesting certain conditions on this planet and I decided to work with that and "re-frame" conditions towards life goals. Peace restored and mind went happily quiet.

I also re-framed the scene with my Father that I have been timebreaking. For example, instead of drinking wine he was juice fasting :-)) Timebreaking practice is still important though: Lester Levenson combined timebreaking with re-framing - his version of "repair of importances".

For "Another" I circumferenced myself with created images of people texting while driving.

Getting late - still need to look at "father"

8Nov15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Continuation of Timebreaking Father

Repair of Importance (Self/Another):

- a clearing twin doing RI and enthusiastically praising its virtues, affirmed in the efficacy of staying true to Dennis' instructs re RI; making contributions to Dennis' work through increasing understanding and improving application where it is needed.

Mind dangling other importances: "Yes, but what about this ... and this?"

Everytime I fall off doing RI the way Dennis says I do get back onto it again and it is this doggedness that has proved RI to me: it wasn't Dennis' instructions that were off, it was me, my mind having sway.

Ron's Scientology bridge, even though he held up "Native State", his published bridge never gets one out of this universe, never arrives one in the no games condition that he calls Native State and does not give one vanishment of the mind except in rare cases with individuals who have a long history of prior clearing work and are ready to pop. It can, when properly understood and applied, it can expand one's options for playing games. It can cure psychotic, neurotic and overly compulsive persons. And fortunately, the best scientology auditors have disconnected from the non-life goals of the church leadership and happily work with clients in what they call The Freezone, which includes Bill Robertson's version of a scientology bridge to higher states.

With Dennis' bridge, which encompasses all of the mind and does take one out of this universe as a totally voluntary being, there are no formal therapists because it is meant to be a DIY application. However, we have now included Idenics as a prior therapy to ease and shorten one's TROM journey. There are trained therapists to assist one through Idenics and Idenics is easier for a compulsive mind to duplicate and run with even on a solo basis. The two practices complement each other whereas TROM is a shotgun, and Idenics is a narrow focus laser gun, giving fantastic and quick wins regarding whatever in life is troubling a person.

I'm not complete with RI and need to do some outdoors work. To be continued. I really want to get on with timebreaking that scene with my father, but RI is taking too long and I'm going to have to sit on myself and make it happen.

11Nov15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father (Continued)

Repair of Importances (Self/Another)
Started off with a bit of Perceptual RI (observantly touching things) and as usual I started laughing - as if the joke is on me. Then, as the mind lifted off a bit I got the answer to a question someone had posed and stopped to send them the private message, and now back in the chair ...

- as a therapist
- a writer

A type of "holder" for the person who does the work of presenting pre-worked questions to himself as a form of self-enquiry or enquiry that takes him to looking into his past and the confusions and decisions he made regarding whatever he is trying to resolve. I like that this description is more about the person than about me :-))  In weight training we call this person a "spotter".

Timebreaking - Father
Going along well with yawns and sometimes some six directions and sometimes some Level 2 differentiation.
I found I had some charge on one portion of the scene and kept looking at it until no more change.
Begin to notice some aesthetic appreciation
Begin to feel more conciliatory towards Father - it was relatively calm and non-threatening during that span of my youth.
I'm reminded of some of my own purposes - to keep his mind satiated and sedated.
And at the same time disappointed that he couldn't play a better game
He wanted to create effects more than he was willing to receive them so he came across as not caring to know me; only important that I served him
An appreciation for his actual labors - never heard him complain about doing some physical labor, although he was not above exploiting another to do the work for him.
Begin to aware it is all borne out of my own mental construct

Reframing the Scene - a Type of RI

"How was your day, Dad?" - Good roads, good weather type conversation
Politely refusing to get his cigarettes

Okay, done for the evening and I'm still feeling my family was really whacked and seeing it more clearly - both the negative and positive - sorting it out

Repair of Importances (Self/Another)
- unflappable clearing partner
- tomatoes
- a beautiful city
- glass of ice cubes

Timebreaking Scene with Father
Perhaps I took on more than I could handle, however as long as I remember to stop and run more RI when viewing the past gets too overwhelming then I'm okay.
Dennis has a person running their case - their past - like a clinician. Simply perform the RI and Timebreak until no more change occurs - for both practices. Of course when the tears are running hot I don't in those moments feel so "clinical" and it is a proud feat to be able to push through the somatics and thoughts and emotions that get stirred up and simply follow Dennis most simple and clearcut instructions... "UNTIL NO MORE CHANGE," got that? Good. Thank you, Dennis :-))

Otherwise, re this particular scene, after prepping with some good RI, I can see most things fairly clearly and can resort to Level Two timebreaking when attention gets stuck on something in the scene and can persist through the unpleasantnesses or aesthetic fixations or drop out and do more RI before returning to the scene to timebreak some more.

Offically, the scene should be run until no more change occurs and there is no more stuck attention, so I imagine I will continue running what at first seemed a relatively inocuous scene but is turning out to be rather charge, but then I'm already rather charged up for a long time with feelings of shame and guilt and I figure this is my best way to cure that - face up to the childhood events from which this lifetime come these feelings. Yes, I know that I could source every abberrative thought and action from the original separation incident (first time coming into this universe) but in order to be true to my purpose to prove Dennis' TROM out for myself I must follow Dennis' gradient approach. Dennis did not wish a person to be a martyr and get overwhelmed by running head on, full bore, the original incident. It will make one mentally unstable and hard to live with. So he has one peel the past away like layers of an onion and by the time the core incident comes up for view it is a lamb, not a huge multi-limbed monster :-))

So, yes, I broke with Dennis' protocol and took up an incident that was out-gradient for me and I paid the price for about a week and at this point I've decided to continue with the scene and remember to follow Dennis' instruct to use lots of RI, before, during and after.

I honestly do not know anyone who even attempts to completely adhere to Dennis' actual practices. It's man's tendency to think his case is special. I know my case is not special - maybe difficult at first, but not so different that with stick-to-ittiveness I can't make it through the Levels of TROM exactly following Dennis' instructs.

The only way I am making Dennis' TROM difficult is by heavily dramatizing my past. Once I get out of that band of effort TROM should be a delight and a breeze, because one will not neglect their RI practice, unless they WANT to experience the pain and suffering, oh yes!! Bring it on!!!

Dennis did say Level Two would be a trial by fire for some and I think that can be alleviated with plenty of RI.

The only difficulty I see with TROM is that one must have about 3 hours daily of quiet time to sit and work through it. Lester Levenson recommended someone on this path to not get married and not have children and I recommend that too, and I'm very fortunate that I have no such binding ties.

14Nov15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Scenes with Father

Fear has been prevalent from childhood up to present time and I'm seeing in each scene how that continues to manifest by holding onto fears from past interactions not yet resolved. Once again gave myself a big fright reading this fella's whistleblower site:  http://donaldmarshall.proboards.com/thread/75/donalds-original-letter-public - okay so now we've added Vrill into the scene here...deadlier than spiders, eh!

However, it helped me let go of delusions and affections and attachments and dive into my clearing work.

Repair of Importances Creative Exercise (Self/Another)
- cloud of fear (emotions are particles)
- a fun game
- muffin pizzas
- soupy sea of energy
- rhythmic balanced exchange of energy
- old fashioned metal ice cube trays


From a lighter perspective, fear can be like a fun ride on a roller coaster - it's a visceral experience that you willingly enter and you know it is going to end and you'll think on how much exciting fun that was.

Fear - where losing a game is no longer an option; fear of losing s'thing considered important; fear of a game strategy being exposed.

In playing a game, if one considers there is a scarcity of fellow players who can play his level of game(s) then, acting on that consideration, he will reduce his ability in order to continue to have games interaction, having a game, being of senior importance to winning or losing. For example a therapist will reduce himself, will reduce his game just so he can keep on living and interacting. It seems that quantity is more important than quality, there being fewer beings who ask for nirvana and many more beings who want to simply have more enjoyment in the game of life.
By contagion a therapist will sink to the lowest common denominator as he seeks to help others resolve their issues. The problem is when it becomes a fixed way of interacting. Thus the downward spiral of games from fun win/lose to more serious overt/motivator (= vengeance, shame, blame, guilt, ridicule).

Those who have achieved peace as an individuated being within this universe - Tony Parsons, Eckhart Tolle - similarly describe the universe as a sea of energy all around them. Their peace comes at the cost of agreeing with all four postulates, including the "Not Know" postulate and you will hear them exhibit that and speak of that. They are still on this side of the veil and perhaps the equivalent of a Level 4 completion, but not a Level 5 completion for if they were a Level 5 completion they would be able to leave the universe. However, they've made such a good simulation of a no-games condition. Yet their minds, this universe, is not completely vanished. Peace and purity without wisdom.

Dennis however methodically, gradiently, brings one to the condition of, as spoken poetically in the New Testament: "Innocent as a dove and wise as a serpent". Able to play fun games without experiencing the games contagion that leads to decline and once again getting stuck into a universal mindset.

Timebreaking - Scene with Father
This scene is relatively easy to timebreak because Father is just sitting in his chair and I'm the one in motion, getting his glass of ice. I'm trying to see if he is doing anything like watching tv or reading something but it seems he's just sitting there and I will take another look in the next session.

I did some Level Two on the old fashioned ice cube tray. My attention seems to easily stick to aesthetics. At a young age, when objects still seemed new, there are many aesthetic attractions that are stuck in my mind. Aesthetics is a sticky point for me, among other things.

Finish off with enough RI until no more change so that I can change the channel and happily get about my work.





Here is what I am preparing for on Level Five:

"Basically the difficulty is a lack of understanding that you're dealing purely with postulates.You're not dealing with effects here on the chart,
you're dealing with postulates. That's all you are putting up, is postulates. You're not putting up effects, you're not putting up sensations, or you're not creating people, you're not mocking up people, you are not mocking up walls, or floors, or situations. You're simply mocking up postulates.
What we're working with are just postulates. That's the whole level of level 5, is postulates. That is all we are working with at level 5,
is postulates. We don't work with anything else, we timebreak out anything else that shows up. We only work with postulates at Level 5. It is an
incredible thing to work with. At first it seems very strange and so forth, very odd and peculiar to be just working with postulates.

But after one gets used to it, when you get into level 5 you get to a point eventually where you wouldn't dream of working with anything
else but postulates because you get the fastest results working with postulates and you always work with just postulates. You simply
timebreak out everything else that shows up.Any incidents that show up, or sensations, or emotions or whatever shows up. You simply
timebreak them out.So at level 5 you are working purely with postulates. Once you grasp that you have got it.
You have got it. You can work then on level 5 and realize what you're doing." .... Dennis

17-19Nov15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father

Repair of Importances Creative Visualization (Self/Another)

Metta practice is a subclass of repair of importances because sometimes one can quiet the mind visualizing frightening or
unpleasant things - whatever the mind is holding as important and chewing on. However Metta, or positive, loving creations
can also help the mind work through "negative love" and come back up the scale into positive love, from enslaving "love" to
love=freedom. Practicing the act of creating, well, with or without love I am always creating so I wish to get command power
over my mind re To Create - both self-determined and pan-determined.

- perfect roof panels
- papayas
- tar tarps
- space dust
- helping psychotics
- competent handyman
- competent therapist
  - I'm so glad I'm leaving the hot and heavy, bloody guts and glory and covert mind games of last lifetime, and which
    are ongoing into present. It was so tempting to get back in and warn the world and resist evil.
- games master
- beings who voluntarily play pro-life games

When I guide my mind to create something its nature is to refer to the past and it sees all the good and the bad from relative past scenes as possible outcomes. I allow this to occur and regard it as "change". Eventually the mind exhausts its memory banks and conjurings and the thing is simply created over and over again without reference to the past, the mind quieted and satiated.

Timebreaking - Scenes of Father
Continuing with the same scene and just happy to be back at it :-)
  • Level 2 and also RI'ing some objects in the scene, both for self and for Father
  • With the object there is at the same time an aesthetic attraction and an aversion
  • RI'ing the wine glass brought up strong emotions and I kept putting it all around me and suddenly, VOILA!, I pop into present time and the environment is not clouded - but bright looking. Very happy to see that this produices results, and now to have Father create the wine glass and put that all around me. Of course he has a very different viewpoint.
  • 6-directions the whole scene and started yawning and seeing I was holding onto the idea of a timeline, that one thing had to follow another, and started to see it all happening "at once" whereas before I was walking through the scene moment by linear moment, ha, seems funny now :-)
  • big yawns
  • RI: now able to put it all around me whereas before I had to break it up into two separate locations - happening all at once now
  • I'm creating the scene and at the same time the "other" is also creating it
I think the timebreaking is done for now
For me "to Help" was a way to be known in a good way and it was stuck/compulsive, robotic, enabling.
Feeling thankful towards Father
Have a feeling that it is all for good because now I'm learning timebreaking and RI'ing - no harm done :-)

I can see my father in a more balanced perspective, for example I don't recall him complaining and he was able to do work without complaining and he did start a business and took care of our physical needs per the culture. He did not hit anybody. Even though life got off to a rough start for me, that period of time was safe and from his perspective we were having a much better childhood than he had. He really did not want to be a father - he had more fun interacting with other men in the business world and in clubs, like the Lion's Club. That was a more successful beingness for him. But, no worries, it's all worked out for good.

I also see how I could be considered the "spoiler" in their family life because of my condition as a being (before birth) and thoughtlessly contriving to be born. And the funny thing is that now I'm the "savior", loosely speaking. Well, they would have to be willing to "be saved" But I sometimes feel like I'm a poster child for Trom because if I can get through it step by step then who can't if they want to? Studying the mind and the human condition and techniques to resolve the mind is a good way to help make up for the damage and start operating on solely life goals.

End Off with RI
Having fun re-framing the scene, for example I'm bringing him glasses of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and to help and to be helped feel very positive.

21Nov2015 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father

Ending a psychic connection in a decent and orderly fashion - prepared to move through possible confusion that comes before a shift. The players can choose to "shift up" or "shift down" and my intention is we all expand into better options and feel freed up.

For me it is an overdue name change and upgrade of beingness towards my work as an interned psyche-therapist and my progress with DIY Timebreaking.

Timebreaking Father has been trivial relatively speaking yet I'm very grateful for the small changes towards more tolerance, less contentiousness, less obsession with the past, more connectedness with my clearing partner.

Repair of Importance Creative Exercises - Self and Another
- Coaching a must-be-known persona through Level Two (yawns) (S'one who wants to be known creating good effects); I now see how having no-one to help like this can also be a good thing, I can accept having no-one to help like this and be okay with that too.

- Roses and grapes - mind always seems to go through a big failed purpose and IP (impossibility point) states re aesthetics and biospheres; at first mind sees how it is all going to be storybook perfect and then it sees how it is all going to be too complex and impossible. I feel sorry for this planet - it's so messed up and interfered with, not a good place to be. Where is my place in the hierarchy of life in this universe? No place. It has something to do with my dedication to this clearing activity and not being in the game. The universe has no importance for one like me.... I don't even know how to play a good game... useless on both counts. All the games seem so repetitive to me ... ennui. Predictable rising and falling. This particular subject is a tough slog, taking hours to get through. A bored botanist creator type. Feel like I never want to create anything again - futile ..too much interference to be left alone and do my own thing... always a critic, a joker, a spoiler (i've done the same to other creators). 
The universe wants to move along without my interference... it doesn't want any "therapists".
I'm only useful to ones who have tired of this universe, like myself.

- The Universe - awesome but taking a long time - mind very active on this one
- Loving Fathers
- Clove cigarettes
- Warmth
- Living on Bonnair

Another:
- Stupid people - well, the "another" got a lot calmer about stupid people, done with that one
- zombies -
- free energy
- New Floor
- Mutual love
- Living on Bonnaire

Helping s'one who wants to receive the help is mutually fun and satisfying. It's my compulsion to help that is not wise about when and how and who to help. To help someone I would have to be willing to know that person and any effects they would be creating while we proceed through the help cycle of interaction.

In the hierarchy of life we are able to find those in a better position to help us than we can help ourselves. So sometimes I like to think of myself being apprenticed to Dennis and I can consult with him on technical questions.

Timebreaking - Scene with Father
  • Long ago I created these two beings, expressing my love and joy and postulated foreverness; eons later the postulate brought them back together and they hold that postulate.
  • Level Two timebreaking his face and hair (yawns)
  • Father was a high volume must-be-knowner and I took that on too and while timebreaking him it came to me that I neither need to know others or to be known by others, especially due to a prior "forever" postulate with my clearing partner. And it is because I could not hold that postulate that I got into all these fixes along the time track. This is the best of times.
  • Ending off with that good cognition, and doing Repair of Importances (yawned a lot)
  • Does anyone ever leave this universe in better shape than they were when they came in?
Like frivolous charms, I'm removing accumulated importances.

27Nov15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Scene with Father
Continue to notice subtle changes and dropping of importances.


Repair of Importances Creative Visualization (Self/Another)
-  grassy lawn (yawns)
-  the yard (yawns, laughter)
   -  to make sure I was flat on this I asked myself, "How does the yard seem to you now?" That produced a yawn and so I
      proceeded.
[NOTE: "How does it seem to you now?" is a Scientology repetitive process to help run out charge in the mind: keep asking the question and the mind finally runs out of answers.]
    -  We must also hold onto opposers as importances to keep the game going.
-  lemon slushy
-  land with solitude
-  books
-  chocolate brownies

Timebreaking - Scene with Father
RI is the positive process and balances the negative process of Timebreaking, and "timebreaking" simply means consciously bringing up a scene from the past and holding it up close against the present environment (eyes open) until no more change occurs and it sort of melts away in importance and interest. It can be retrieved at any time, but the mind no longer involuntarily brings it close into the present environment, which can confuse the past with the present scene. Neurosis and psychosis are severe conditions of not differentiating the past mock-up from the present mock-up.
  • Yawns as I start to examine the scene more closely
  • Running Level Two differences and similarities on his hair (yawns)
  • Other relative past scenes flash up and I stay focused on this one scene, not going swimming into a sea of past scenes of my father. They can be looked at later, one at a time.
  • Doing RI on his hair and then on something that he creates
This scene is flat for now. It could be because I had a 1/4 cup of brandy last night. Brain fog. Will check in on the scene next session.

29Nov15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father

It struck me yesterday that Dennis simply wants me to practice and get quick at bringing up a past scene and differentiating it from the present scene. Anything else I do with that scene is an additive and from Dennis' viewpoint probably a timewaster because Level Five awaits one and so one can dispense with all the additives and go straight for the interactive prime postulates.

Scientologists who receive auditing get hooked on the "blowout" or "keyout", or what some call an ascension. They also are enamored of their cognitions and realizations. I can hear Nisardagatta's words ringing in my ears: "That's not IT!"

Scientologists are never directly taught to on their own bring scenes from the past close to objects in the present environment. They are not clued in that it is a matter of distance, not time. They are going to have a difficult time grokking Level Two of TROM, even though it includes Scientological principles.

Scientology processes are also forms of timebreaking so it's not a bad thing to do .... TROM is simply more direct and completes the job rather neatly: voluntary interactive being and voluntarily non-interactive. How fast and direct do I want to achieve that?

I saw I am running my timebreaking like a scientologist and I need to stick to the simplicity of TROM timebreaking. Yes, I LOVE all the cognitions and realizations I get when I go asking questions, but from now on I'm simply going to hold a scene up against the present scene and differentiate until there is no more charge or other phenomenon.... as I learned in Level Two.

Of course there will be dropping of importances and lessening of compulsions as a natural outcome of discharging a past scene enough so that it is no longer a "floater". Hehe, a floater, I like that :-))


Repair of Importances Creative Visualization (self/another)
I'm giving the repeated command, "Bring Something into Existence"

    Ladybug
  • Our biosphere is probably a great example of a being or beings creating "solutions" that simply create more problems for which more "solutions" must be dreamed up.
  • Even though "not-self's" are all dreamed up versions of me, being Source, and even though they have the choice to decide to change their considerations regarding suffering, I'm certain I will no longer be interested in causing interactions wherein beings can say they are suffering as a result, now that I've had the visceral experience.
  • I don't care if all of life came to me and thanked me for everything... there must be a better way.
  • Either we are all wrong or no one is wrong.
  • Everytime I tell myself to bring a ladybug into existence I feel shame, as if all of creation here is a degraded non-life goal
  • Shame and loss for the egoic mind (actually that's a good thing, you'll see)
  • Bringing a ladybug into existence feels like a punishment ... rubbing my nose in my shitty idea of how life should interact
  • Seeing how far south Life's postulates have become; asking how can I right this wrong
  • It was all justified as being aesthetic .. aesthetic sensation ... giving aesthetics a bad name ... only a sadistic mind would put thorns on a rose
  • Making lifeforms small or faraway is an attempt to lessen the overt
  • One of the big lies we are told is that we need predators to regulate the population of plant eaters. It's a justifier for violating the rule to not cause others to experience in that moment what you would not be willing to experience in a like moment.
  • It's like I've had my hand slapped and hereon I need to be careful on what I choose to bring into existence.
  • I have to finish this process until no more change but the dilemma is I absolutely do not want to bring ladybugs into existence anymore. What it's really about is my current struggle with game strategies being exposed and seeing cause and effect re game strategies that could only have begun with me at source-point.
  • What increases the problem is automaticity, and that firstly needs to be resolved, thus this exercise, consciously throwing ladybugs out all around me and then pulling them back in, repeatedly.
  • The compulsion behind all this complication is attraction to the sensation of throwing objects "out" and then pulling them back "in"; appear and disappear.
  • However, Dennis does not say, "...pull it back in" so I'm back to simply bringing ladybug into existence and putting it all around me and repeating that until no more change occurs.
  • Still feels like a dog shamefully having his nose rubbed in his own poo, but I'm stalwartly dong the process.
  • And it's not like, "Whoops! I didn't know that was going to happen!" I see I gave myself the reason or cause to feel this shame.
  • If it is all an act it is certainly very convincing, extremely visceral. Is the mind itself nothing but non-life goals, only pretending to be for life? Am I speaking only of my own mind?
  • When we protest the conditions on this planet remember when we were god and the decisions we made.
  • Everytime I bring ladybug into existence I see the the tiny proboscis: that exposes my non-life intentions,
  • Been at this for two days - good thing I don't have a 9-5 job - continue tomorrow

Listened to Dennis' lecture, "Dissociation".
Everytime I scan my childhood and realize how abnormal or disadvantaged I was (brought on by myself) I'm grateful for the deprivation and rejection and lack of creative endeavor. Instead of motivating on it I'm soaring with gratitude, for it led me to my clearing partner and helped me on my way to leave this matrix and turn over a whole new leaf of learning to play games that are fun for everyone... without games strategies or non-life goals.

Last night I scanned some famous and psychotic must-be-knowners and I knew they were my brothers and sisters having problems and I felt no threat from them even though they rule the world with their non-life intentions. Most of the world is composed of must-be-knowners with must-knowners coming in second, then must-not-know people. Must-not-be-known secretive types are very rare and my clearing partner is one of those rare types. He will soon arrive back into his previous "to-know" state.

I am grateful for everything that brought me to this exit-way from a long existence of the snake eating it's tail into a state that is commonly called "Nirvana" or nibbana.

As one evolves from the mind muck there is an experience I would call "rightful shame" as one faces up to and acknowledges all the sneaky game strategies and the accumulated guilt from running these on one's brothers and sisters, making less of them. Ultimately, for me, it reduces to me running a game strategy on myself and creating "not-selfs", and it kept getting worse and worse until now.  Exteriorization from the visceral non-life interactive experience here is a drug and fosters an irresponsible attitude towards life.

3Dec15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father

Lost last session notes. Experienced heavy unconsciousness while dong the RI exercise re ladybugs being brought into existence. Resorted to 6-directions and out-loud command to "bring a ladybug into existence" which alleviated the grogginess and I was able to continue. Clearing partner was at the same time working through something in his own sessions and we seemed to both come out of it with our heads above water at about the same time, resolving our separate issues.

Also noticed an ability to more objectively view psychotics (instead of shrinking) and I scanned out everyone I could remember knowing, and assessed their relative delusional or psychotic condition. Perhaps to stay "sane" on this planet one has to be in delusion (in the matrix) or they have to be dropping all delusions and non-life attitudes through some sort of mind banishing practice that brings them out of a struggle with their own mental automaticities.  "Wine for the dying" as the Old Testament advises; otherwise, it's meditation, fasting and seeking and vigilant self-monitoring for non-life propositions.

The true conditions on this planet, if known, make it not advisable to remain human, and I can see why most neglect to restore their bodies.

Repair of Importances Creative Visualization (self/another)
Ladybug: I think it is beyond the point of change now, but I'm testing it out. That was the longest amount of time for an object or person - very hot and I believe it is because I have a lot of attention on ulterior motives enacted re life and biospheres that go way back and to now - buildup of shame and guilt along the history line and never completely resolved.... And then being asked to bring something into existence went far to stir up guilt and shame for the times when I had evil purposes for bringing something into existence, which we all could do rather easily in the "old days".

ladybug
  • dropped down to 6-directions and getting yawnoffs.
  • Changing the command to "Bring _____ into existence" is working on the mind, so I can't say it's all about ladybugs; I have some meaningfulness re bringing something into existence; feels like something long dead is starting to stir.
  • feel the stir of a postulate-counter postulate re bringing things into existence
  • feel grief and shame for bringing things into existence to serve my gratification of evil purposes
  • The funny thing is I get stuck with the shame and guilt whilst the other being has long forgotten about it - and me.
  • One of the main points of this exercise to to do consciously what a craving mind does automatically - bring thngs into existence
At first my mind gets noisy, then exhausts itself and all is quiet and I can continue to bring something into existence

Seems all is quiet now. Contnue in the a.m.

6Dec15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father
After all that struggle I need to remind myself to "Enter a session positive and remain passive"
I usually find that whenever I set a goal - in this case to timebreak Father - I discover things that need to be addressed first, such as what happened in the last few sessions re RI. Am listening repeatedly to Dennis' lecture re "Dissociation". Since there is a large number of beings playing with must-be-known postulates there is an abundance of us acting out degrees of dissociation.

And I was apprised of some more game strategies on this planet which brought me further out of delusion, into confusion and on up the scale and I had to re-scan my whole existence with that new data. But in the end it was really the same old corner I painted myself in when eons ago I decided I was going to create "scary movies" for others to experience, so earth is for me my decline in the game of "scary movies" and I guess I've met my match here and should congratulate the winners :-)) Now I turn away and towards the activity of coaxing the mind to let go of all that. My next t-shirt will have a picture of buddha saying, "Homie, let that shit go".


Repair of Importances Creative Exercise (self/another)
It looks like I passed the initiation by fire re "Bring Something into Existence" and will likely be using that as a self-command.
Previously I used the command "Create Something" or "Create an Importance". Of course an importance is anything one has a strong attraction to or a strong resistance to, for in these now degraded games of life resistance is just as important because one needs to create motives for staying in the game and extracting their pound of flesh. The motivator hungry are just as culpable as the zombies that feed off them. God help us all. What a pack of siblings we are. I/we need to rise up out of the effort band, drop the considerations of the heavy seriousness of our interactions with each other. For me, it's the perfect setting for doing my clearing activities.

Queen E.
  • I understand her almost too well - it's a bit disconcerting (yawns)
  • realization I'm the one bringing "her" into existence and I could keep doing it many times
  • laughing at the joke's on me - the degraded line of the "Queen Game" :-)
  • feeling more relaxed - it's humorous now
  • "Wake up, Mr. Green"  :-)
  • I'm convinced it is all a projection of my mind - the universe is simply life, and postulates are the building blocks
  • Nice wide yawns - I created myself to always and forever want a game no matter what it took

Solomon is right: there is nothing new and I've seen everything and it is all a repeat. Notice though how some people like to watch the same movie repeatedly. The scale of sensation is the same as it ever was; the basic postulates never change - it's a wonder I don't ever get tired of myself?? I brought my mind into existence and I put it all around me - end of story.

"I must be known" - and do a Byron Katie, "Is that true? Must you really be known?" Well, of course the answer is "no".

Having Donald Marshall bring the queen into existence; misownership comes very easy to me; I'm still laughing at myself; he has to keep doing this because this is my favorite scary movie, lol.


Stop here and do some outdoor work. RI went well today and took some exterior to the games viewpoints which I always enjoy doing. Feeling relaxed, not stressed about anything.


To be continued.

9Dec15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father
Have been moving in and out of the Fear Band of emotion on the way up the scale to Courage. "To Degrade and To Be Degraded" are universal non-life goals and fear is a component. Desire for vengeance seems to keep one less afraid, yet still in the game. Desire for vengeance can certainly keep one keeping on in the body and in the game. The right way to resolve this nasty cycle is a decision to clear one's own mind. So, ever since I started clearing out fear of spiders, further fear and degradation are coming up for address.

I'm taking Dennis' advice to Ron Hubbard: "Leave them alone, Ron. If you don't bother them, they won't bother you" At the same time, the irony is that one with a vanished mind can easily knock two planets together, but then would he? because at the same time he is now an ethical being voluntarily interacting - playing games with other voluntary players.

Dropped out of social media and most groups to narrow focus on clearing the mind and body of toxic (non-life) material. Dennis began his research as a "To Know" case and he focused in on wanting to know his mind as a separate entity and he did not care so much about being known.

Repair of Importances Creative Exercise (self/another)
Using the self-command, "Bring something into existence"

Timebreaking  - scenes with Father
  • Scene of Father sitting in his chair seems to be stuck on him in his chair (not vanishing) and I did Level Two exercise by pulling in a scene of Marge sitting in her chair all comfy, and I ran differences and similarities and charge is coming off (big yawns, some emotions).
  • His leather belt sticks, so Level Two (yawns). Never got hit with a belt though, and stray scenes that include belts flashing up and bye bye (maybe deal with them later if still important). 
  • Checked the scene again and the only thing that looks solid is still the belt, so more Level Two on belt; more coming up from the mind
  • Bringing leather belts into existence and putting them different places around the property and then close by.
  • As a side note, I'm starting to see my lifelong attraction to well made leather belts; in my youth it was usual for men to wear more formal belts. I can feel a nulling of fixedness on men's belts as all the various importances come up and then bye bye.
  • Checking the scene with Father and the belt seems fuzzier, more faded in with the rest of the scene.
  • End off and run RI ("Bring S'thng into existence (self/another))

People bring past scenes up against their current scenes involuntarily (whether they actually see them or not, sometimes occluded even though there). Levels Two and Three put that "ability" back into a voluntary mode.

It would be safe for me to propose the mind is like a library and there is no past, present, or future; it is merely a function of distance: you pull a storybook off the shelf and pull it in towards you and then you put it back on the shelf and pull off another storybook, and the "present" that you do this in is the prevalent storybook scene that you are engulfed in so it is relatively more real, here and "now". The current mind does not always so neatly put the storybook back on the shelf.

Taken on the correct gradient, this clearing path does not have to be strenuous, but can be if I want :-)

10Dec15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father
A small step towards taking apart the universe of "Father" (all patriarchal authority figures), and exposing and de-activating game strategies, non-life goals, aesthetic fixations - all related things held in the mind as "important".

I think one could quiet the mind or ignore/accept the mind or be far removed from their mind without having to microscopically examine it or understand it in any great detail as Dennis obviously went to the trouble to do. I suppose he wanted to make doubly sure it was vanished and would stay vanished. I recall the story of Yogananda falling down in agony upon once again experiencing his mind, which he obviously had not totally vanished.

"Know thy enemy" might have been Dennis' motto, including psychotic states and other severe love/hate relationships with one's own mind entity. I see Dennis as a zen master type who makes the student do the work himself employing masterfully formulated gradients. For some at first it can be a wrestling match with one's own mind to grasp and master the basic prescribed activities. Initiations, like births, vary in intensity with each person.

  • Each time I bring them into existence it is like a surprise (The surprise game)
  • It takes me back to the original non-life goals of warring and hunting and enslavement
  • Profit and exploitation behind those pretty and sweet morsels
  • All because I no longer could unaided bring those sensations into existence as I please
  • When one can bring things into existence they no longer steal or corrupt or degrade or exploit nor participate in a society based upon non-life goals
  • better if I stop trying so hard to regain things or avoid things from the past - once I realize I can bring anything into existence voluntarily

Timebreaking Scene with Father
  • some stuck attention - Level Two on object
  • I'm amazed to see where my strong aesthetic preferences (I won't dare say "compulsions") came from
  • yawns (energy dispersing), emotions
  • After millions of years playing with human bodies I'm not surprised there is some charge related to bodies themselves
  • Aesthetics is such an attractor - it's like I see something aesthetic and I think it is next to god and it fuzzles with my good judgment. It's as if there is anything I consider of beauty associated with the being then the being must be good. I have such a strong need for aesthetic sensation. It seems as if every bit of trouble I got myself into was because of my following after aesthetic presentations. Of course that must have been after I felt I could no longer create aesthetic sensation for myself, by myself. Could no longer mimic others' creations and so I enslaved myself for the experience of their creations.

Yes, there are other sensations too on down the scale, and when I peel them off I am left with the big draw - aesthetics. Why, I could give someone more esteem if they were well groomed with shiny black shoes and a custom made suit, etc. I esteem people and things for the aesthetic effects they create upon my mind. That could be veeeeerrrrry dangerous :-))

I used to dress to the nines too so that I could likewise create a nice aesthetic effect and people would simply like me right off the bat. Now I mostly dress just to fit in and be comfortable, and I do have some consideration about people's mind's making judgements based on how I apparel myself. But I have nothing I want to offer anyone that they (their mind entities) would want, not that I don't have anything of value to offer them - I do, but they won't want it even if they asked about it, which they won't.

12Dec15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father
Been experiencing a mild mental and physical de-tox.
Some issues re male authority figures surfacing. So I'm noticing opposing postulate sets: deep fear is characteristic emotion of the one identity set and bully-ness the other, and they are linked together and I'm getting an unobstructed view of the two identities, and how they switch off with each other, and seeing them in others as I grew up, and in myself too. Looks like a decision to mimic my father's bullyness ("If it worked for him ...."). I enjoyed running it on my younger brother. And I can see it throughout the known family history on my father's side. I feel out-of-sorts right now but overall it's a good thing and I'm thankful for the revelations.

I would not want to trade any talent or position or possessions in the world for what I am gaining right now - getting back to knowing my real self.

Enlightened mental health clinics
If the mental health field knew there were a simple and standard technique to restore psychotics why wouldn't psychotherapists want to make it widely inown?

Completed self and another and feeling better attitude towards life. Getting late so to be continued tomorrow.





Clearing partner assesses that my obsessive "IP" ("Impossibility Point") is "Must know vs Must not know". I can see how that could be the case, considering those spy games I used to enjoy playing last life. He thinks he also knows what his obsessive IP is.

Starting to chip away at what holds the fear I've felt most of my life (suppressed), and seeing that it is in close proximity to another identity set that despises cowards (so did my dad, yet he was a coward when he wasn't being a bully). Finally going to get to the root of this.

A lot of decisions get seeded in early childhood so it's always cathartic to take a second (and third and fourth.... lol) look at our times with early caretakers. However, not losing sight of the crux of my case that holds onto a universe prime incident where I decided on some destructive attitudes. Yes, I'm taking the route of peeling the onion.


Repair of Importance Creative Exercise (self/another)
I CAN FIX IT!
Am having a bit of a laughing episode as I see streams of past importances appear and then disappear, not so important now, but rather funny that I ever thought they were.
  • warmth
    • as soon as I put that around me I recalled someone in my infancy saying, "we must keep her warm", LOL. Good to use for repeater tech.
    • I'd really like to stop obsessing about health and survival of the body
  • a quiet mind
    • this was fun for hours and then got to a stuck point that I could not seem to get past and what worked was running the next item below:
  • confused and panicky people
    • good yawning and then all went quiet and now I'm having another bring something into existence and will run that until it reaches a flat point (i.e., "no more change")

Timebreaking: Scene with Father
Nothing in my mind stirred when I brought up the scene, however when I took an object (a green ashtray) from the scene and worked it with Level Two (differences and similarities) then yawns came off.
Which goes to prove that objects can be considered important in the games of life; aesthetics is at the top of the scale of sensations, sexing at the bottom.
I do sense an aesthetic fixation on some qualities of the ashtray, and also its mass gives it an importance
I have no problem bringing the object right up close to any object in the room and running differences and similarities between the two, and I get good discharging yawning from doing that
I started to lose interest and thought I was done; however 20 minutes later I decided to take it up again and still it is producing yawns.
I'm utterly amazed at how much discharge a simple ashtray could produce, and as far as I can see it is all about aesthetic attractions and aversions bouncing up against each other, and singly

Last night clearing partner talked of the session he is going to give me and it does sound promising re "Father" as a junior universe.


Repair of Importances Creative Exercise (self/another)

Using command, "Bring S'thing into Existence"

Lemon
  • mind very active - same ole compulsive create and felt myself wanting to go unconscious and not have to deal with it, i.e., seeding planets ("Nothng ever seems to go right." )
  • It seemed like a good idea at the time but it seems to have only brought trouble.
  • Feel like I'll never want to eat another lemon again - totally lost my appetite for anything
  • Creation starts with beautiful ideas and dreams and then ends up in the ditch; shamefulness
  • "To create or not to create, that is the question."
  • I'm now having trouble creating the seeds in the lemon
  • Struck by the carefulness that went into its creation; values are shifting
  • As far as the plant kingdom and animal kingdom goes, it's a beautiful complementary interaction
  • appreciation for life
Have another bring s'thing into existence:
complementary life

End of Sit and feel much more relaxed than when started. Getting late so hope to do some more timebreaking tomorrow a.m.

17Dec15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father
I love how a good session of R.I. can relax me and ready me to go and look at the next blast-from-the-past :-))
R.I. falls under the general category of "positive psychology" or positive practice and balances the practices that kill something in the egoic mind - like taking away Linus' blanket (Peanuts comics).

Examples in successful practices is lovingkindness Metta in Buddhism, and the lovingness reframing that Lester Levenson did in his own sits as he awaited his certain death, and Ramana Maharshi with his long walks around his favorite mountain after he processed out his issues with death (ultimately separation/oneness). I suppose you could stretch it and say that Niz's "positive havingness" was smoking his cigarettes. In fact, if I were not training myself to do RI I would be off to the kitchen pulling together a snack after every sit - filling the mental void left after a good session.

I'm starting to be more conscious of and amazed at the places where my mind goes when I'm not directing it. That's progress.
I used to train my dogs and the hardest thing to get them to do was to "heel" in step with my steps. Like some people with their dogs, they let their mind walk them. I don't say I'm any better.

Repair of Importances (self/another)
Using the "Bring S'thing into Existence" command
I'm picking on the lemon a lot because it is important in my current diet for keeping the bodily fluids "saatvic" or as a biochemist would say, alkalyzed. Who knows? - if I do this practice enough I might even turn into a lemon :-)) "Be the lemon..."  :-))
Well, today, I'm all equanimious about it but last sit it was not a happy time I went through to get to this point.


Timebreaking (Levels Two and Three) - scenes with Father
If I were to postulate my father as a brother instead of as a father I would feel more affinity. For me, it seems the mother/father postulates create more wanky individuation than the brother/sister postulates.
  • Checking out the ash tray for anymore charge to get off: yes (yawnings)
  • Also started spontaneously doing some creative exercise of re-purposing it for more life-oriented purposes than being used to hold cigarette ashes, and adding to its aesthetic value (gold filigree, etc.), and putting that all around me - this also produces yawning.
  • Continue with differences and similarities with obects in the room
  • The mind works to see similarities first and I have to command it to spot differences first, as Dennis instructs.
  • Now I'm guiding the mind to scan the room and check out all the similarities which it does quite rapidly (I find this quite interesting). It even locked onto a circular print on some fabric and it took me a second to see why it did (the ashtray is circular).
  • It takes me back to early in this universe when beings were struggling over very basic issues re creating things, i.e., flat vs curved. The mind still holds onto these early struggles re "to create".
  • For example, say, you as a being are at one ability level and you just created s'thing that has certain qualities and another being at another skill level or another approach shows up with something else and you struggle in the "to create" (or "to surprise") game to duplicate or contribute to or even outdo his offering, but being of a lower or different skill you find yourself confused and you take it in as a game loss. You make some decision that handles the confusion and life goes on creating, yet the mind is still faithfully and stupidly holding onto that decision.
  • You had no practice or technique to timebreak the confusion and decision, thus all "solutions" only created more complexity and problems and limitations.
  • Wait a minute ..... back up a bit. Back up to when you first imposed this universe matrix upon yourself, and experienced all the glorious confusions ... and the resulting fixed decisions you made then - you made them and that's that...the games must continue.  It seems that behind every fixed decision (i.e., to be a farmer who provides grains to the Roman soldiers) was a confusion, a surprise, a game changer of a certain forcefulness or magnitude.
  • So here we sit with our self-created entity - the mind, full of all these good decisions and reasons why and the being a slave to the mind, playing hide and seek, and going out the bottom instead of out the top, life being hierarchical.

"How do green ashtrays seem to you now?" No answer. Good, end of sit. Finish off with RI

RI


Some people accuse Dennis of not carrying his work further, and I see it as he simply did his hat write-up of what worked for him and could/would work for humans if and when correctly applied to the letter. I do not ask any more of him and neither do I ask any more of anyone else, and only if asked to as Dennis was asked to by Greg Pickering. Dennis said he is making himself available to answer technical questions and that's enough.

Playtime and naptime will never cease :-))
Today clearing partner helped me hold the focus while I timbreaked myself through an upset that occurred yesterday and continued into today. Then I ran RI exercises until flat.

I feel that my "salvation" as a human lifeform lie in developing a better relationship with Earth and her biosphere, and of course that includes a better relationship with other human lifeforms.... Both acceptance and letting go of human-ness.

Science and technology come across to me as a false or fake hierarchy put over on beings in human lifeform by those posing as "sky gods" or messiahs. These are the beings who use their technology and psycho-technics to create a problem - an upset - within a natural human society, and then introduce themselves as having the solution but holding the intention to degrade humans and the planet that supports them. The enslavement of and damage to human lifeforms seems irreversible, although the human lifeform and the planet have great regenerative ability.

20Dec15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Scenes of Father

Experimental Self-Enquiry Session Guided by my Clearing Partner:
I prepped for the self-enquiry session with a good run of Repair of Importances for self and another,
making sure I was not hungry, and to have a positive attitude with willingness to see and report whatever comes up.

"How did you handle a father?" repeatedly until no more change
"How did a father handle you?" repeatedly until no more change
"How did you handle a father?" alternating repeat, repeat, repeat of the two commands

The asking of the question was natural and without strain and my attention was on my case and looking at scenes from the past as they came up and asking myself the question and then giving the answer. At first, as is usual at the beginning of a session, I was nervous and then I relaxed into telling my side of the story.

This went on for three hours before I finally saw that I was perpetuating an overt/motivator cycle, or what Dennis calls the "revenge mechanism" (the last game a being can play when he finds he can't play any others). I felt the shame and guilt wash over me which was a very good indicator that I was letting go of a very fixed game strategy that finally became exposed to me.

During this whole period of self-enquiry, back and forth with the two questions, I was exposing the game strategy without realizing it - until the very end and I had the decency to feel ashamed.

"How did you handle a father?" was all my story of how in the past I had enjoyed doing this or that or another thing to my father ("he deserved it" was the theme song), and the second question, "How did a father handle you?" was all my story of how he had mis-handled me or otherwise caused me suffering.

This also brought up some scenes from last life, and other lifetimes when I had been a bad father, and touched a bit on my first husband as a father, and my g'father when he lived with us.

My clearing partner for the most part let my mind happily jabber on about this important Father person, and I had not a clue as to how this was going to end up. At one point I said I was bored and he suggested we continue. There were a couple of times where I thought I had gotten the final self-realization from this, and probably would have ended the questioning if I had been running this solo. We kept going, alternating the questions each time one question ran out of steam.

The mind finally ran itself down of importances re a father; an inexplicable feeling of shame and guilt followed by the self-realization of what I had been covertly doing to myself and to a father, and I mean the game I had been playing without really any longer realizing it. I felt myself as being like a drug addict, addicted to the great sensation I got from committing the overt after I had built up enough justification (i.e., suffering) for doing it (the motivators).

It seems cruel, but looking at it quite objectively and understanding how the mind can get very hungry for motivators, every child who is being raped is in the overt/motivator cycle, and that being will take its opportunity to pleasurably commit the overt (get revenge), and not necessarily on the last perpetrator. There must be a game and both the victim and the perpetrator need each other to keep experiencing the addictive sensation one gets from besting an enemy. Father can teach the child that winning is better than losing and the child decides to be like father, and later in life that decision becomes activated. Revenge is highly touted on this planet, both in movies and in books and in social media.

But by the end of this 3hours session I currently feel no desire to continue that formerly compelling interaction with fathers. I covered both aversions and attachments.

My clearing partner is not a father figure, but just the fact of him being a male seems to have taken the edge off my interaction with him too. I feel less "gamey" with him right now, and I didn't fully realize I had been being gamey with him.  It is too soon to say if this is permanent and he tells me there is another part of this self-enquiry process.

I will continue my timebreaking sessions and report any changes. Since my goal for timebreaking scenes with father was to null covert game strategies that got seeded in my chilhood, this "to handle" process complements my solo sessions.

My clearing partner tells me that Dennis advised not using this process until Level Five, and we are breaking that rule, so let's see how the realization changes my behavior. The way this session ran, my mind did not have time to get angry or reactive about having to expose and lose a favored game strategy, and there may be some mental backpedalling, especially if I don't do copious Repair of Importances to fill in for such an important loss of "self".... My best friend .... gone!  If I were my clearing partner, I'd lock my doors tonight :-))

20Dec15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - RE A Father

After last night's 3hours plus session re "a father" I ran enough Repair of Importances to keep the mind from reacting to the sudden loss of a long held important game strategy. First thing I noticed this a.m. is that I woke up happy which is quite unusual because I generally have to do the RI exercises before I get into a happy or calm state. I've learned to be suspicious of happy states and it is probably a mild manic I'm experiencing so I'm not going to get caught up in it and attribute a lot of importance to it.

I immediately began doing the routine Repair of Importance exercise and did not experience any yawning.

Clearing Partner is running the process on himself regards "stupid people". I also asked myself, "How does a father seem to you now?" and the mind was unusually quiet on the subject....just a big gaping hole where that used to be.

Of course we all know that simply being "happy" is not "IT", so I continue the activities as prescribed by Dennis.

Also, what is not to be overlooked here is the power of intention - the power of postulates - for prior to last night's session I had already postulated that I would rid my mind of the game strategies seeded in childhood from interactions with my father, and I had already gone to work on it and been discussing my intention and results with my clearing partner.

Repair of Importances Creative Exercise (self/another)
I tried putting fathers all around me but can't find any ... wait a minute, there is one (an old girlfriend's father) and I'm putting him all around me. He's seems a different fish somehow so he did not get caught in the net.

"Bring a father into existence"
I can conceive of fathers who do not fit into the type of game I was playing with my father and all other fathers like him (including when I had been a father in previous lives)
I do not feel any need to have a better father or to have a father at all, but I can imagine there are fathers, but it seems very different now
I can still see a child trying to be in a games condition with a father, but the father is not reacting
The fathers I'm seeing now are blase, cheerful, equanimious, interested but detached from the drama
I'm looking at the scene of my father sitting in his chair and I see he was trying to detach himself from the drama going on around him and in his mind and that was partly why he drank tall glasses if iced wine.

Levels Two and Three Timebreaking - Scene of Father
Start where I last left off - with the green glass ashtray
some yawns
not much happening here


Continuation of Experimental Self-Enquiry Process re "A Father"
"How has a father been handled?" and "How have you been handled?"

The first question drew no response and the second question brought up scenes
of physical handlings as a child and then back to the last part of last lifetime where
physical handlings were involved until at the point where we ended I was in an
exterior viewpoint to the planet and the whole "to sex" game on this planet - no
longer compulsively involved in it and I can now enjoy a detached viewpoint if
I wish. I can sex or I can not sex and seems wise for now to stay off the playing
field and give it no more importance than eating.

The purpose of this question is to balance out the flows of the previous questions,
and it brought on a nice release from a fixed pattern of behavior.

In line with my postulate to weed out covert game strategies seeded in childhood, the next person to take up
with these four questions is "A Mother".

Doing some RI

21Dec15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - Timebreaking Father
It is always very gratifying whenever I experience a clear and permanent "loss of self" without any backlash. I lost a "self" that had been formed around a lifelong game strategy.

Been walking around like a ghost - feel like a ghost the last couple of days. Listening to Tao Te Ching audiobook (Stephan Mitchell's version), dropping more comm lines on Facebook. Working through acceptance of lessened sensation cravings. Learning about breatharianism. Feeling exterior to the earth and at the same time contemplating my "crimes" and the best way I can say it is that my "crime" in this universe has been that of "tampering with life". Reading the Tao Te Ching can have that effect I suppose. Who can interact with others without use of force or prevention or covert game strategies?

Partner and I discussed possible next subject for next "To Handle" session: A Mother, Males, a Creator. I'm starting to experience feeling of shame regarding something, but can't spot what it is about yet, such is the nature of covert game strategies, being covert even to self after so long a time employing them. Safest to go with Dennis' statement that game strategies get seeded in early childhood.

Repair of Importances Creative Exercise (self/another)
Been doing this on and off all these days and it relaxes me.

Timebreaking - A Mother: Carpets
  • I see no point in further timebreaking scenes of father.
  • I'm timebreaking a scene of a room I visited when I lived in Canada (the guestroom at the cottage) - lots of aesthetics created by a mother
  • differences between two carpets (discharging with yawns)
  • brings up stray memories of my stay in Canada and have to pull my mind back to the task
  • Get an expensive brand new broadloom carpet so you can get nice aesthetic sensations from it and worry about it staying pristine looking, and make people and dogs wrong for dirtying it
  • versus a free floor covering that was a DIY install and does not show dirt and is perfect and can be rolled up and thrown out when it gets beyond cleaning.
  • Well, I think I just resolved my "case" re carpeting and am now completely logical on the topic :-))     That has not always been the case with me, but I just now broke the "spell" of aesthetic demands.
  • OH, I can see it now: there is a huge section in the Hall of Knowledge devoted to carpeting and other interesting floor coverings :-))
  • My mind is scanning it out now.
  • Scanning out other carpet scenarios.
  • Reframing another scene (a form of RI - putting it all around me)
  • There is nothing wrong with one taking loving care of one's home without getting materialistic - valuing objects and aesthetics more than life.
  • All these things can distract from what is most important - vanishing the mind.


Feeling good here and will end off with some RI

25Dec15 Toward Vanishing the Mind - The "To Handle" self-enquiry practice
The Tao Te Ching throws out the challenge to give up something everyday and I like that challenge.

Partner helped me self-enquire re "A Mother" which went on for about three hours. We discussed how I tend to intellectually "swim" instead of simply looking and answering the question which lengthens the session. There is more to be done re "A Mother" and I look forward to doing the exercise correctly and getting a good result.

"How have you handled a mother?" and "How has a mother handled you?"
Upon presenting the question to self whatever scene the mind presents is the scene used to answer the question. I did feel some of the usual shame of how I forced a pregnancy upon my mother, and at the same time I kind of admired my dogged determinism to get back on track with what was started late last lifetime. So, I made a mess of things and yet here I am vanishing the mind. 

The good/bad thing is that my decisions to use force and strategy kicked up an incident with "A Creator" and while I was looking at scenes of Mother at the same time I was seeing scenes of Creator because they were both intense and carried the same issuesor importances. I now see the potential to vanish from the mind that basic incident that hangs around my neck forever, and to vanish "A Creator" as an opposer. Well, for now to simply take the edge off it because it was mightily stirred by my overts against "A Mother" type.

My mother represented the most problematic fixed postulate for a must-be-known or must-know personality type, being she leaned towards must-not-know and tended to commit overts of rejection, being stand-offish whenever I presented my overly bubbly self to her. There was also the draw of aesthetics which clouded my analytical judgement. I would be forever drawn into an intriguing and painful drama with this type if it were not for the saving grace of this exercise proposed by Dennis and implemented by my clearing partner. Vanishing this "curse" sooner than later - very thankful.


Repair of Importances (self/another)
Currently exploring binaural beats and I was better able to bring something into existence and place it 360-degrees around me while theta tones played through my earplugs. Will play around with this.
  • I see how the surprise factor is important in creation, for example the surprise of a hard inert seed turning into a living organism and the plant kingdom satisfies my desire to be surprised - pleasantly of course
  • Christmas is a great time of surprise for those who can still have a surprise
  • I look at lifeforms in nature I see how is that a surprise game
  • It appears the primal separation was designed to be a separation and a binding at the same time; a separation that established a dependency
  • The irony of wanting when you already own everything :-))

Timebreaking Levels Two and Three "A Mother"
For second time I bring up scene of past room. I decided to focus in on the small piano in the room. I compared it with several objects here, differences and similarities. This activated my mind to bring up scenes from the past that had anything to do with a piano and I saw similarities and differences as the scenes flitted past me. There was also release of any charge contained in these scenes. There was some yawning off of energies.

I began to find it curious how integrated are singing (or "musicking") and sexing, but this session only glanced at some related scenes and I detected these scenes were especially charged, and I let them flit by without digging into them. I can't recall when I was ever really that fond of piano or organ music by itself, and I'd rather hear a really good violin.

Only once this life did someone play and sing an original creation that awed me and I exclaimed to him that this is better than sex, which caused him some dismay because he had his desires for me. In truth, aesthetics is at the top of the scale of sensations, with sexing sensation at the bottom of the scale.

I know I've experienced a release or letting go and I can always tell that has occurred because I start to feel hungry after a good session, which is another reason why I do RI at the end of a session - to curb the hunger.

Pause and do some RI
  • I can see how I've made some bad decisions because of chasing after aesthetics
  • I can see how aesthetics is an opinion or consideration that can be changed
  • Dennis called his Level Five "beautiful"
  • If we didn't have these bodies I think we'd be chasing more after aesthetics than sex and food sensations
  • Music could also fall under the class of a "Surprise Game"
  • Restored my interest in my lifetime as Fanny Mendelssohn (when I could still create)



Another self-enquiry process I find deeply effective is, when once in a meditative state, bring up a person and ask oneself, "What is my Cause?" and allow the mind to process that question until it quits. Sometimes after I do this I can say, "forgive me" for I truly see my cause at my beginnings in this universe.

I made the mistake of not running enough RI after last night's sit and mind was especially busy. If I were not experienced with this practice I would be tempted to say "it's not working for me". It is working to pull me out of a chronic negative attitude towards myself and I need to be diligent to run RI before, during and after a good sit.

good, strong yawning
(playing low-alpha binaural beats for concentration)
  • I was putting a grocery store all around me and I realized that I was also experiencing the beingness of a grocery store owner and had to run it until I flattened or nulled the protests.
  • Grogginess for about 20 minutes and then pulled out of it
  • Having another create something stirs up my to-help compulsion which requires that there is someone who needs to be helped and if they no longer needed my help I would be disappointed
  • Feel relaxed, grateful

Timebreaking Levels Two and Three:  "A Mother"
Same scene of a mother's guest room at the cottage and I ended last sit timebreaking the piano and all the other scenes that were brought up related to pianos; for example in the 1800's my mother taught me at a young age to play the piano.
Clearing partner wants to continue with another "To Handle" self-enquiry guided session.


"How Have You Handled a Mother?" alternating with "How has a Mother Handled You?"
This ran for about 1.5 hours, less than last time because I stuck to answering the question and not swimming around in the scenes that came up. I noticed the emoting about mother's love was gone. The most charged and sticking scene was around my assumption of the fetus close to conception because that is where I set the stage for some unpleasantness by using covert game strategies to get a mother asap and get on with my "mission" - the ends justified the means and I was willing to suffer through just about anything to get back on track with clearing tech.

After I released charge around that scene I began to take a more balanced look at my mother and could more readily admit how complementary she had been with me and how in some ways she was perfect for me because she gave me lots of freedom and did not try to influence me very much and she did her best to take care of me when I was sick and she did her best to socialize me. I realized that I brought a trail of troubles with me from last lifetime game strategies and use of force. Once again I realized that my poor decisions and lack of good judgment were often caused by being overly attached to aesthetic considerations.

I am very glad to be here now and doing this complete work.


Finish off with RI

Slept well and long and woke up feeling "less", which felt good. Researched more deeply the activities and interactions of the Mendelssohn clan in the 1800's.

Repair of Importances Creative Visualisation (self/another)
  • I started with a large single lemon and nothing stirred within my mind; then many lemons and nothing stirred and then a planetful of lemon trees and that stirred many variations and scenarios and complicated problems and interactions.
  • In this universe creating things became more and more complex and interactive and one can no longer simply conjure up some lemons in one's fruit basket. Who could exploit you if you could do that?
  • The mind keeps trying to bring it into existence along all these various systems and vias
  • I can sit here and bring a planetful of lemon trees into existence in an instant - what is called imagination - and I can let it dissipate or I can make it more and more graphic, even adding time and concepts of growth, etcetera; however for the purpose of this exercise the emphasis is on quantity rather than quality and it is enough to simply intend a planet of lemon tree groves and put that intention all around me... until no more change occurs and the mind goes quiet on the subject
  • There were oerfectly created lemon trees before there was ever any physical biosphere - before we created with "chi"
  • Creating with chi is also a via
  • When I sit here and bring lemon trees into existence I am not using chi and currently that seems less satisfactory but I think I can get over that preference for using chi and doing this exercise helps clear the mind back to square one regarding how things were created or brought into existence with nothing more than a postulate or intention backed by an urge
  • Putting it all around me 360 means I am willing to fully experience it. and often that is when the charge comes up and blows off

NOTE: I recall a time when driving to the beach and I was excited and I mocked up a blue-green (non-chi) sphere and set it spinning over the water (before I even saw the water in body) with the intention to stir something wonderful out of the depths of the water - a nice surprise. The next day the beach was uncommonly littered with small blue-green jade stones. [Value = scarcity + beauty (with beauty being a matter of opinion)]

30Dec15 - "To Handle - A Mother"
My clearing partner helped me stay on track with the two alternating questions, and the session lasted for three hours with some good resolution of stuck-in-old-games-conditions re "A Mother", specifically my mother.  The sticky scenes were the earliest ones and the second stickiest scenes were the latter ones, and we ended the session with me brightening up when talking about my shaman sessions with my passed-on mother.

In the garden I can remove an embedded stone by rocking it back and forth, and that is the effect of alternating the questions - flipping the mind back and forth between "How have you handled...?" and "How has a ______ handled you?" It effectively dislodged an embedded games condition with my mother.

After enough repetition even the dullest person could begin to see a pattern of behavior and, like the actor in "Groundhog Day" movie, realize more and more what's not working and begin re-framing until the interactions are perfect. I spent a lot of enjoyable time re-framing various scenes with my mother.

I woke up quite refreshed and feeling lighter and look forward to the next session. I should be doing some more RI: my mind never seems to run out of "bad vibes" to replace those that dissipated, and completion of Level Five should resolve that problem.

My clearing partner has discovered the beautiful benefit of doing RI, and that is the ability to think more clearly - to be "connected up", having quieted the mind with enough RI. I find it helps me sleep.

Repair of Importances (self/another)
Dennis refers to RI as "The Governor":
Governor:  A feedback device on a machine or engine that is used to provide automatic control, as of speed, pressure, or temperature (taken from “free dictionary)
  • "Bluntly, these exercises will not work in the absence of RI.
  • In the absence of RI the exercises will very soon grind to a shuddering and rather painful halt.
  • When in doubt - run RI. Whenever you run creative RI in session always run both commands to no further change.
  • Do not leave it while it is still producing change. The second command is just as important as the first.
  • Do not leave either while they are still producing change.
  • The exercise will ‘run down’ your stock of importances; use RI to repair it.
  • Thus, although RI is run to no further change, just the doing of the exercise will make it produce changes once more.
  • Early on your tolerance of loss of importance is very slight, so RI will have to be run frequently; later your tolerance increases enormously, and you have a much wider latitude in these things.
  • However, never will you be entirely free of the necessity to run RI as an adjunct to the exercises until you’ve got to the very end of Level Five and achieved Nirvana."


Level Two and Three Timebreaking
Reminder from Dennis RE Level Two:
"Never miss it: Level Two is the only barrier that sits between mankind and the attaining
of Nirvana. He cannot face Level Two, and so he goes to a separate therapist to help him
through it -- never realizing that by so doing he has negated his own responsibility in the matter,
and so doomed himself to failure. He must do this step alone, or he’ll never be able to cock a
snook at his own mind; there is no other choice.

Reminder from Dennis RE Level Three:
"As you complete this Level Three you will get your first preview of Nirvana. For the first time you will feel free of your past, and no longer feel it pressing around you; the endless ‘chatter’ of the mind will at last be still, and you’ll be able to experience the tranquility of utterly still beingness. Unless you actually recall something your past will remain in a state of total vanishment. This, again, is as it should be."


Continuing to more thoughtfully re-read Dennis' theory and instructs re RI, "The Governor"

How do I get command power over the mind from being in a condition where I have very little command power over the mind? Immediately, the general answer is, "by proceeding on the proper gradients".

Formerly, my idea of "command power" over the mind was to steer it into exterior interactive activities to keep it well occupied and causing me minimum unpleasantness both within and without...the sensational rewards of a game well played.


Repair of Importances Creative Visualization (self/another)
I keep putting myself in a tent with a watermelon patch all around me and I like them and they like me, everybody's happy.
  • Yawns and mind interjects thought of poisonous chemicals and I keep putting original scene all around me
  • I have created a "sphere of influence"
  • Now the watermelons are like happy little guppies
  • Now they are filling up as if they would burst; strong yawnings
  • Now mind wants to differentiate each watermelon by its markings and make significances out of it
  • Now the large leaves have come to light and life
  • Now the mind is putting attention on the brown tent (I did not see its color before)
  • Hippo yawns
  • Now the mind wants to check out what's happening on the internet. I did not know I had a laptop in my tent and it seems the mind wants more randomity than just a field of watermelons.
  • The mind now decides it wants to check the views from the tent opening - seeking yet another sensational experience
  • More involuntary yawning
  • Examining the texture of yellowish dry and dusty dirt with some crystalline specks in it
  • Now the mind has mocked up a companion
  • The mind does not seem to like the natural peacefulness of the original scene and now is mocking up weather occurrences and other possibly exciting randomity of earth, wind, and fire - just to prove that "change happens". So says the mind. Yawns.
  • Once again mocking up the original scenario
  • Now mock-ups of seasonal changes and critters and rot and withering and embryonic sprouts shooting up from the ground and a patina of age and time
  • It's as if the mind is trying to make the original creation have a past - a timeline - to be forgotten and something that must be "recalled", but no, I simply keep bringing it into existence without any consideration of past or future, but I see that is not how the mind operates
  • Now I'm supposed to look at this w'melon patch and admit it must have had a past - and the tent too - like, what led up to its present existence? Mind playing a convincing game when all I'm doing is simply bringing it into existence. I'm certain from experience that I don't have to chop down a tree to create a toothpick, because I once did bring a toothpick into existence because I intended it so (it's a long story, don't ask)
  • If a writer can create an instant w'melon patch in the reader's mind .... well, there you have it
  • Once again putting the original creation all around me
  • No more change occurring and I have no more interest in creating that scenario

another:
I'm going to have another create "crap" and disorder because that is what my mind insists upon, so I'll go complementary with the mind and let's see how this runs out to a flat point - no more change.
  • So, I'm starting out not very happy, disgusted - being complementary with the mind
  • I'm surrounded by another's crappinesses
  • evil glee - from both of us
  • locked in a game, as opposing forces
  • I feel violated and the objects feel violated and the another is self-violating
  • creeping sadness
  • heavily resisting the idea that "crap" is a viewpoint, an opinion that can be changed
  • fear of spreading crap if I go into apathy and agree with it even though I don't really agree - just to get along
  • Thoughts of Wall-E
  • Then I see how I like to collect "important objects" (I can't call my own collections "crap", although I can see how someone else may think that), but on a smaller scale and in my own personal space, not in an open space where others can see it everyday
  • contemplating use of force to remove it all, overriding considerations of another's importance of all that crap
  • I'm looking at my miniscule collection and wanting to get rid of more stuff - pare it down
  • Once again putting another's created crap all around me
  • Seeing some more of my own ugly collection there too - more junking up the yard
  • starting to feel less offended, but still put off by the insanity it expresses - someone so low they mistake it for being high
  • being neat and orderly and enhancing is also not next to god as some mistakenly think
  • both conditions place more value on game accessories than on interacting with life
  • both conditions are at odds with life, with selfness
  • mind coming up with coping strategies and the best one is continue to do these two practices
  • surrounded by crap will keep people from wanting to know me and that is a "good" thing
  • Or it will make "Not Know" people want to come and make themselves known and loudly reject/eject me, and that could be a "good" thing
  • Once again putting a junkie yard all around me - a creation of the another
  • sadness that it reinforces individuation. Yawn.
  • Feeling the trap of "love"; thinking with my heart now
  • Stay inside and Dig into the Tao Te Ching
  • The big mind feels helpless and the small heart mind starting to feel powerful
  • The mind still trying to understand but it can't comprehend unconditional oneness
  • love for the soul of the another
  • contemplating another's return
  • faith, patience, tolerance, simplicity of day-to-day life
  • thankfulness
  • increased interest in another and less in the objects
  • I have created this. Yawn
  • Once again putting another's creation of important crap all around me
  • "Must not waste anything" of another vs my "Must make use of everything" , Which becomes "wasting" vs "using", two different types of collectors; "using" can degrade into "wasting"
  • I'm still putting it all around me but now it feels more like a movie I'm watching or like watching a child going through its growth stages and a bit curious to see what the being does next and having my own postulate for the being's "return".
  • The being is important, not the objects. The character of the being, the self-realization of the being
  • I can see why ageless angels sing when a being removes its involuntary limitations, as they know it will
  • I feel like I can trust the universe in its motion and counter-motion

The yerba mate tea with juice of two lemons for the past three days helps my meditations, my RI, move along more smoothly and I have not noticed any significant feelings of anxiety nor any panicky feelings.

Repair of Importances Creative Visualization (self/another)
A perfect roof. Lester Levenson used to simply look at something or a condition and say one word: "PERFECT"
  • good yawns; negative emotions and somatics arising while yawns still occurring
  • I'm not mocking up anyone doing anything, merely a condition of a perfect roof, however the mind wants to make a story along a timeline, using effort; big yawns
  • No more change
  • Now I have "another" bring a perfect roof into existence and this time I see their intention and I'm putting that too all around me
  • Yawns
  • I'm not creating they are putting in any effort, but simply doing what I did - visualize a perfect roof: perfect intention
  • Life is so much better when things are done this way
  • I love this hands off approach. It strengthens intention

Session with Clearing Partner: To Handle Re Mother

"How have you handled your mother?" and "How has your mother handled you?"
  • This third session re myself and my mother lasted for 47 minutes and we ended off at a good point and I was quite cheerful about my relationship with my mother, but not without some crocodile tears first.
  • One question causes me to see my motivators and the other question causes me to see my overts, and my mind switches from one question to the other once I begin to see my responsibility or cause.
  • It is getting easier now
  • As with most of my incident running (I do see incidents from the past when I ask myself these questions), at last I finally see my aesthetic hangups, and in this session I saw how I disliked my mother's aesthetics and she disliked mine too, and I began to reframe my interactions with her without my aesthetic biases to keep us separated.
  • It is quite a trap for me to value aesthetics more than Life: when I was younger I was stuck in a snowy forest with icicles hanging from the branches and I was so awed by the beauty I told myself I could die happy right now.
  • Aesthetics may be next to God but it's not God. As Niz would say, "That's not IT!"
  • I felt something lift off of me when I spotted the aesthetics argument, however with this set of questions I notice I do not yawn, whereas with timebreaking and RI and frequently yawn.

I finished off with a round of RI

I would desire to get this man and Walter Russell ("Secret of Light") in the same room.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn5rNYjdhNs

Awaiting next session of "To Handle" regarding my mother. Great results so far. A former client who had serious mother issues asked me to share this method of self-enquiry with him and we had a Skype session yesterday and he got some "AHA!'s" from the first question and the session, including the preps and RI, lasted a little over two hours.

I like that I'm merely a holder and a guide. The four simple but cutting questions are the map. It was interesting to see that he ran his Repair of Importance the same as I do. Repair of Importances is candy for the mind and so much more, but its immediate importance, after loss of importances through self-enquiry, is as candy for the mind. The mind LOVES it and the only problem is that the person, thinking he is his mind, is tempted to go swimming in it as I did many times when I first began; therefore I had to keep emphasizing that he continue to image the original object and consistently place it all around him, number of times being more important than the great reveals. After a short while his mind went quiet and he was able to present the original object all around himself with no further response or phenomena (i.e., "no more change").

We are testing out a nootropic stack and finding it can be useful. To describe it would be like trying to describe a state of "no games" urges. It is almost beyond words. Zen masters act like normal people - that kind of thing. I seem to have less resistance to getting into "another's" viewpoint. However, because I have been devoting days to physical labor and have not yet shifted gears back towards self-enquiry I wait to find out how it effects my clearing activities.


Completion of "To Handle" self-enquiry RE My Mother
Partner helped me run this and after about 4 minutes I laughed until I cried tears of shame and then I knew I had erased my mother. Then I got interested in reframing all my past with her. I think I laughed and cried and exclaimed for about an hour while the mind was clearing everything related. I became more interested in practicing patience and quietness, neither provoking nor being provoked.

Worked with client again this a.m. and it ended well, everything done correctly. Does not seem to need much RI after the session. He's making a good separation from his own creation and what the mind does with it. I can see that he is getting more clarity and dropping delusions.

In my own case, after erasing my fixed interaction with my mother, I'm settling in to being less urgent to create an effect on others. I'm also starting to see how in this local game I am being handled simply by "accident" of being here and having a mind of desires. It is still disconcerting that my viewpoint shifts to widely different perspectives - from exterior to this playing field, to close identification and the attendant desires, but I can see how I could share others' interests while holding that larger perspective. This is very difficult to put into words. Nothing really interests me, and I dropped some idealistic delusions about life on earth and so having a human body seems less grand, less important.

Clearing partner tested out new self-enquiry process using the eight legs of Dennis' Level Four "To Know" exercise. One goes through those eight legs often enough and one will see the futility of games. The self-enquiry was directed towards looking at a former relationship and expanded out towards the end to include all similar relationships. Some healthy tears of repentance and letting go of game strategies and compulsions to enter into types of games.


Repair of Importances Creative Visualization (self/another)
Still working with "perfect"
I can't imagine that anything I create would not be perfect; I would have to pretend that I didn't like it or that it was not perfect
I don't change except that my viewpoint changes or does not change and my only protest is when this is not consciously voluntary
I can bring something into existence and I don't necessarily have to manifest it via matter stuff; I'm content with simply bringing it into existence and putting it all around me
In order to hide or avoid I have to mock up or know those who wish to know - another game
Done.


Ran more guided self-enquiry using the eight legs of "To Know" re a person. Very good results. Fewer and fewer games to be involved in.

5Feb16 Toward Vanishing the Mind
"The Book of Afformation" by Noel St. John, has a technique that brings me some peace of mind when I put to myself the question, "Why is your mind quiet?"  It's a combination of living in grace and knowing how to satiate the mind while doing the vanishing work, which to the mind is simply a repair or refreshment of the mind (that's okay - who doesn't want to play a better game?).






Repair of Importances (self/another)
Done

Timebreaking - To Handle Self-Enquiry
  • The "other" is my clearing partner and the question asked is,
  • "How have you handled ______________?"; however, I zero'd in on a particularly charged subject and the self-enquiry is now, "With regard to __[subject]__, how have you handled __[person]__?"
  • This is the second session with this question and still producing charge-off (yawns) as scenes come up for timebreaking (the 'that was then, this is now' realization)
  • Feels nulled for now and I'm more interested in Ralph and the subject now

Repair of Importances: (self/another)
Done


So, currently much attention is on "Viewpoint Dynamics", and the new wording for self-enquiry using the Source Code of the mind ("To Know" parameters), and the perhaps lower gradient, "To Handle" self-enquiry. All these processes are buffered with adequate repair of importances, and any scenes that are invoked are timebroken (eyes open and a "that was then, this is now" realization, which is accompanied by a letting go of some fixation or obsession or postulate, etc.)

From my viewpoint, this is for myself a structured form of Level Three, leading in to Level Four.

7Feb16 Toward Vanishing the Mind
Decided to test out three or four self-enquiry methods using the same person, my clearing partner. The final method will be him helping me run the session, and making note of each method and the final result.

The mind is a machine that computes and solves problems based solely on input, so it is called an entity (does that make me the "ghost in the machine"?). "Data in and data out". It is "virused" with the vengeance mechanism, a deeply entrenched auto-response mechanism.


Repair of Importances (self/another)
A hammock in the forest
  • mind turned on every sort of imaginable terror of the forest and I sat through all that Buddha-like emoticon
  • Laughter of rejection finally turned on with each passing scene emoticon
  • Keeping my eyes open so as to have awareness of present environment too (natural evaluation of past with present)
  • Vrill, nephalim, cloners, bats, bigfoot, snakes, spiders, ants, bears, monkeys, mosquitos, crows, man ...  emoticon
  • "Bear taco"  emoticon
  • My, the universe sure is filled with life manifestations and mind is eating it all up - any importance will do... emoticon
  • "To create" can be a real joy without compulsive input from the mind's databanks
  • As I continue to re-examine and let go of old assumed beingnesses natural creativity increases in scope as limiters are removed (i.e., "must create" <> "must not create" frozen postulates).
  • But for the purpose of this exercise I'm letting the mind be satiated so I sit through its agitations, continuously holding up the original creation I gave it. I honestly don't know if this is exactly what Dennis meant how to do RI - it does the job.
  • After the mind finished overwhelming the body by "others" it gets to work on how to protect a body ("self") in a hammock in the forest.
  • Demonstrates the duality of this universe - it's a two-terminal universe of "self" and "another" for life's games.
  • My client just sent me a non-optimal message and I wanted to retreat to my hammock in the forest - kept running the RI and eventually the negative vibes came off in big yawns.
  • In order to play the survival game one must have opposers, and situations of comparable or greater magnitude get insufferable when this postulate set is unconsciously on 24/7.
Arount 9p.m. we continued with the "To Know" set of self-enquiry, working on the same person and eventually one of the questions did have a bite ("preventing from knowing") and awareness of a game ploy revealed itself with its attendant discharge (yawns). The session grinded a bit towards the end because I had had only 3 hours sleep the night before and because I started to look at a pre-bodies incident of larger magnitude, not sticking to the current person, and my tiredness wouldn't let me  continue, so I did some RI and we ended for the evening.

I'm liking these two processes because they are simple enough for the client to sit alone and ask of himself without need for a separate therapist, if he so chooses. My job is to keep him anchored in present time and make sure he duplicates the instructions and once he can be willing to be enough in present time to handle minor incidents on his own and knows to stop and run RI whenever he feels overwhelmed, and before and after a session, then he's graduated to testing out his ability to run solo.
Gradients, gradients, gradients, and simplicity, patience, compassion.

"Complicated minds require drastic measures" -- Tao Te Ching
The "bad man" is the "good man's" job -- Tao Te Ching

It is not my job to play the game of getting people to change their convictions - that is a trap too.

14Feb16 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Aesthetics is at top of the scale of sensations and in my case seems to be the first influence or desire from which other desires/sensations accumulate to. I say this because every incident I take apart the last thing to come apart, after peeling every grosser sensation off, is the "beauty" or aesthetic attachment, aesthetic as sensation.
 
There is the Games Universe triangle of "Freedoms - Purposes - Barriers". Although clearing the mind should/could be considered an activity and not a game, it is moving one towards greater awareness, more options/freedoms, and the purpose is to vanish the mind, and the "barrier" is the mind itself hiding when being chased and imposing when the being is trying to not-know it.

Yawning is charge dissipating from the body-systems (not the being/beingness)

Repair of Importance (Self/Another)
I sometimes find it difficult to start this exercise. I see that my client circles himself with rings of the obect - multiplies the object all around him and rather quickly changes stop occurring for him.  That does satisfy the "quantity over quality" requirement Dennis made. When I close my eyes I can make my mind do the same thing and I still get discharge (yawns). I did this method with a stuffed toy and the mind kept circling me with more and more copies of the object whilst I typically yawned.

The client has only done RI after a good session key-out and neither before nor during a session. We rely on the 6-directions command during the session, taking the scene or some part of the scene and moving it in 6-directions around him. He is still clearing the scene that re-vivify'ed during his self-enquiry, "How has __________ handled me?".

After I had my partner bring something into existence and held that around me 360-degrees I noticed I began to become detached from that particular "importance".


"To Handle" Re Clearing Partner
I'm moving up the scale of goals as listed per Dennis. I was not coming up with anymore answers for the grossest goal (sexing), so on to the next goal up, "To Eat..."

"Regarding eating how have you handled ____________?"
- run to no more answers, then run,
"Re eating how has ____________ handled you?"
- run to no more answers, and alternate between the two
until both no more answers and/or a good realization.
  • Trying to make him wrong for not eating healthy
  • Trying to educate him and force him to eat healthy
  • Trying to get him to supplement his diet for fear of his health degrading because of what he eats
  • Trying to cook what I know he will eat but with healthy (read "expensive") ingredients
  • Trying to "set an example" of healthy eating - holding myself up as a model of best eating practices
  • Blaming his food choices for his ailments and tirednesses; wanting to be right

  • Demanding him to take me to the grocery store when I want to go
  • Trying and expecting to get him to take care of me in the manner I am accustomed to

NOTE: What came up here is that I'm starting to accept certain isness'es about him and it's okay to make a decision given the current circumstances or conditions of living with him instead of keep trying to fulfill desires and desires fulfilled held onto from past.  I'm starting to make less of a big deal about food and eating. Also I'm seeing my cause for any complaints in current condition because of my allowing myself to get distracted from my personal development and career goal. I also saw eating even when I'm not really hungry. I feel I'm not getting as much sensation from food as I once did but I always enjoy eating some fruits, but don't feel the need to gorge on them either. I notice I'm eating smaller portions (might simply be because I'm less physically active right now. Fruits are viewed more as a not-bad tasting medicine or nurturant or counter-balance to whatever acid-forming foods I also enjoy eating.
  • Asking him if he needs to get food because I want to get food. I'm ambivalent whether he gets food or not because I know he eats crap and he's only eating to satisfy his perverted palate.
  • I use him eating junk food as an excuse to indulge in it for myself too; otherwise I would not be buying or eating much of that, but it's also to keep in the affinity of a shared agreement with him (aka Stockholm syndrome); it feeds the mind and perhaps some critters' minds.
  • Not missing an opportunity to suggest going to the grocery store; getting his mom to take me if I think he won't when I want to.
  • Being greedy - taking offered food even when not really hungry
  • Impressing upon Ralph repeatedly until I was sure he "got it" the importance of my having continuous supply of lemons and apples. [He has no affinity for raw fruits or vegetables]
  • Making a big deal out of eating and food and diet
  • Feeling that his stomach ailments make me right about what I've been telling him about his diet
  • Threatening to completely stop eating to make him nervous (saying it's for a de-tox, which it really is but at the same time I do enjoy using it as a make-wrong or a threat.
  • Going into apathy about his diet and pretending to agree (feel some destructive urges there).
  • Steadfastly looking at destructive urges.
  • Handled him re eating by being somewhat adamant about what I must have when we go to the grocery store.
  • Always asking him if he wants this or that (as a distraction and also as a possible share food).

Within his limitations I've been fairly successful in handling him and handling myself re food and eating, and him not being a food hog and being on a budget have probably been good for me as long as maintain eating lemons and apples.

What I've noticed is that when I think I can't handle him then I attempt to handle myself by accepting the imposed limitations.

I'm starting to go blank on this side of the self-enquiry and shall end off here and do some RI.

17Feb16 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Had THE MOST peaceful sleep yesterday. Had sat and self-enquired re "Handling _________", my clearing partner. The other side of the equation began to rear its ugly head and I ended off at a good point with the first question, focusing in on the goal-set of "To Eat". I'm starting to lose my hunger. This has been slowly occurring over the winter, but I still enjoy my lemon smoothies and bananas and apples and it is the cheap cheat foods I don't seem to be as thrilled about. Mind did not really like that because it leaves a vacuum of "importances" so some really "I'm sooo bored" moments. I once saw a huge snake in the zoo and it was the boredest looking creature I ever saw - bored and disgusted to boot. Without the mind games, the body is happy munching on a few fruits it seems.

If I ask someone to do something because I am not willing to do that myself ... ? Well, of course, my expectations could be unreal.
Repair of Importance (self/another)
Dennis says to bring something into existence and put it all around you 360-degrees
My client brings something into existence and puts MANY of that all around him in 360-degree rings
Now, Dennis did not say whether to put that one thing around you 360 holographically or to put many copies of it around you 360-degrees, but a hint is that he DID say the quantity is more important than quality.
I'm practicing doing RI the way I see my client do it and he is having a good time with it.
My client most likely has a very good imagery, whereas my imagery is darkened and cloudy due to black screens, but Dennis says that does not matter as long as I know I did it, and I have experienced that I can still muck along in spite of black screens occluding full visual perceptics.

I start by holding six of that thing around me in six-directions: up/down-right/left-front/back; then I can fill in the empty quadrants. It is a bit of work for me to do it this way and seems to produce different results too. I'm holding that image at six points around me and yawns begin, i.e., release of body tension.
Because this image is "important" to me I sometimes get an improved idea about it and stop to do a google search for further images, or make notes in another file re that topic, and then I return to the RI. This adds time to the sit.

DIORAMA:  a building or room, often circular, for exhibiting such a scene or picture, especially as a continuous unit along or against the walls.

360-degrees could be either:
1. as a diorama placed upon the concave side of a sphere
2. as fractals of the same thing (like a compound eye) placed spherically around you
3. as a holographic 4d: you are inside the thing and can view everything from that "inside". For example, you put a stuff toy animal all around you and you see the stuffing inside of it and the top and bottom and front and back, etc. - all of it in a 4th dimensional, holographic sense.

"Quantity vs Quality" could be achieved for #1 by repeatedly putting up the diorama scene until no more change. With #2 quantity is achieved by itself and one can simply hold that scene there until no more change. With #3, quantity can be achieved by, as with #1, repeatedly placing the original item there everytime the mind makes a change. The bottom line is to feel relaxed and ready to go into the self-enquiry portion of the sit.

As I'm working at putting this sphere of white around me I realized that my viewpoint keeps shifting to seeing it not around me right here where I am but located outside of right here where I am, looking at a me with a sphere all around the me. I keep wanting to put the image of me within a white sphere out there to view from where I am "here". I'm working to correct this.
So, I'm asking myself, "where are you?" -- "right here" to get my bearings and then from that viewpoint hold the imagery.

Because of occluded vision I can "feel" it all around me, like a blind man relies on his other perceptics.

OKAY, so I'm doing this repeatedly - after everytime I lose the imagery or "feeling" or some other change occurs. I keep doing this whenever it changes or drops away.

The importance is not necessarily in seeing it but in feeling and knowing it is all around you - that is "havingness", similar to walking around and getting touchy-feelie with objects in the environment  -- until no more change (protest, resistance, distraction, physical phenomenon, etc.).

I worked on correcting that and then stood up and walked around putting my hands on things, noticing them and now I'm ready for the core process.

Core Process, Level Three with "To Handle"

"Re eating, how have you handled ___________?"

Scenes in the grocery store coming up. Big yawns
Continued until I started to run out of answers and mind wanted to shift to the other side of being the effect.  Good place to end.

After Session RI (self/another)
With my new correction of how I do RI I'm starting to feel the created item is more solid. So far, it seems my mind is tamer doing it this way - much less compulsive create-create-create, and still lots of body tension coming off.
Doing it now makes me want to stay very centered and still and be sure I am actually putting it around me right where I am, body and all and not making a picture in my mind of me putting it all around me.
Holding the six-directions helps groove this in.
I'm relieved I caught myself doing that. At least I see that how I'm doing it now is a more exact duplication of Dennis' oh-so-simple and succinct instructions.

22Feb16 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Was made aware of a DIY website:  http://paulsrobot.com/
It includes a "looking" exercise which is very DIY'able - user friendly - plus the equivalent of RI using simultaneous rubbing and yawning. On this developer's advice I'm going to start reading to myself aloud my practice log notes while I'm making them.

Repair of Importance (self/another)
RI is better now that I've spotted the difference between putting the item in the space all around me vs putting it in my mind all around me. Hard to explain. I have a lot of mind tampering past to clear out and my case is probably more complicated than most. I do recall having a lot of fun initially playing with minds, but I never early on resolved the initial experience of taking on this mind-set/goal-set. My partner calls it the "then is now" virus, and it accounts for our current state of degradation and shadow-boxing with our past.

My client canceled, saying "technical emergency". I can understand why he is not eager to let go and expose his own game strategies. I'm foot dragging in my own sessions too. I propose this too can be resolved using the Idenics self-enquiry methods.  Idenics is great for getting right at the heart of the problem.

For example, I'm bringing into existence a large sheet of nice 4x8 plywood; I put it around me and if I need to make it larger I first stretch it out in front of me, then behind me, then left/right, top/bottom and hold it there long enough to experience any changes. I would describe it as a holographic experience and one practitioner says he does something similar to what Tesla did with his creations. [NOTE:A fellow Trommer suggested creating six 4x8 sheets and putting them around me as a box and work from there. That worked.]

Re the wood sheet, I'm seeing the light color, the grain, the rough edge and the smooth edge; then I stretched it out equilaterally from the front yard to the back yard and side yards. I can see it as seeing it through a frosted glass pane - all of my visualizations are like this.

I still have a tendency to want to see it in my mind's eye instead of placing it all around me. There is a huge difference in how this exercise runs by simply placing it in the ACTUAL SPACE around me vs what I have been doing, although that was quite interesting and did eventually quiet the mind, but it was more like a "process" and this way is more like simply holding the item there in my ACTUAL SPACE. I can't emphasize that enough to myself.

Instead of making it hard on myself I step down a gradient and place a smaller piece of plywood that is comfortable for me and I'm putting it around me in my space, but not yet 360 all encompassing. It's a 10"x14" rectangle in front of me and I'm really putting it there in front of me and holding it there.

I have to keep focusing on the actual space instead of in my mind. Am I once again making this unecessarily complicated? Probably :-)

Now I have myself actually sitting on it vs seeing it in my mind, and there is a difference which I did not before realize.

I'm playing around with it, trying to make it very solid and real, although I don't know if that is necessary, but I'm starting to have fun with this, and that too is probably an additive, but it's fun.

Yeah, I'm feeling it. This reminds me of a time when I created the smell of my favorite food before my Mother took the ingredients out of the refrigerator: I brought it into existence without the actual doingness of prep and cooking, etc. I can almost see/feel/smell the plywood. Plywood is very interesting when you bother to "know" it.

Doing it this way makes is more similar to the perceptual RI where I would stand up, walk around and touch some existing plywood and perceive it, but I'm still feeling awkward with the 360-degree create.

I have an affinity for a nice finished sheet of plywood and it is de-stressing to bring it into existence and "know" it, right here in front of me and some pictures come up in the mind, but I don't use them, nor dwell on them.

I can see how one could use this type of RI for accuracy on a creative project - one actually places and operates the creation in its actual space, for example, hanging curtains and playing around with different ideas about that. It can be related to sketching it on paper or making a 3D mockup. You keep fooling with it until you are convinced you have a creation that will actually be worth putting hand to and building and will work well - no surprises, because all the discovery has already been done to the point where you can simply collect the tools and supplies ... don't forget to measure twice :-))  I can see it takes some work/practice but it increases actual competency and creative range.  And I find it quite enjoyable overall, just a bit of a head strain, but I think that would vanish eventually.

"How does plywood seem to you now?"   Fine


RI Another's creation:
So, to start, I put it in my actual space in front of me.
For example if I have this person create a red Ferrari then in order to put it in the actual space in front of me I have to "not know" the furniture and wall and window in front of me and only know the red Ferrari. Dennis says that is how people can see through walls.

I honestly don't know exactly what a red Ferrari looks like so it is an approximation of shiny fiberglass and chrome and glass and rubber wheels and a horse insignia.

The initial effort makes me hold my breath while I'm concentrating on getting the full perceptics of the rubber tires. I feel tense while I'm making sure I've got it there in my actual space in front of me. One could create a very real palm tree studded sandy beach all around them, including the warm salty ocean breeze. Hemingway wrote this way in "For Whom the Bells Toll" - you could feel the grit of the dust in your teeth.

I can see that if I make an attitude shift about RI - from being something one needs to quickly do and dispatch with so that they can get into the timebreaking - to being equally important then I won't feel so hurried and impatient to get it done and over with.

I think I'm starting to see it as he sees it, from his viewpoint as a being, with his importances about it.
So I parked it in front of his front door and have him stepping outside and being surprised with it. I also turned it a toned down yellow, then a blue, then back to red.

Now, I'm moving the Ferrari from in front of me to putting it all around me 360. When I do that I become more aware of its metal underbelly and its interior white leather and flooring and steering wheel, instrument panel, etc. Not in exacting detail as I did with the plywood, because I've never really myself given a red Ferrari much of a glance. I like that he likes it and I find it interesting. But I still get a headache trying to keep it from being a mind's eye scene and trying to keep the awareness of it being in the actual space around me.

I guess I'm so habituated to consulting the mind instead of simply myself as an aware being (without need of mind) bringing something into existence. Dennis does say that it has been a long time since anyone actually brought something into solid existence although I do recall a story told by Yogananda in his "Autobiography of a Yogi".

Then I have my Aunt standing in the corner of the room giving me a black stuffed animal and I go through all the gyrations of putting it all around me, first just putting the fabric covering of it all around me, then the stuffing. There was some discharge, otherwise I was fairly equanimious about it. I feel tension of working through it, of being careful and that should disappear with practice.


Level Three using "To Handle self-enquiry"
The more I do this exercise the more I see it is about getting a handle on my own thoughts and decisions.
And, in that vein, I decided to do a 10-day+ water fast - long overdue anyways.

28Feb16 Toward Vanishing the Mind
Yesterday I experienced no emotions and I was really OKAY with that and saw that as a more desirable state than even the happy emotions and that is the direction this path is taking me in I suppose. Games must and do contain emotional expressions on a human level and one can blissfully play games once the mind is gutted. I will no longer be playing games with this old repeating mind.

My current case state is starting to transition from aesthetic entanglesments up the scale to ethics entanglements and I have been dramatizing my own ethical risks on others and myself, so that is the next level of case to get cleared out and I can see that it coincides with my strong reach to expose and clear out all game strategies. I'm simply foot dragging because my whole persona has been built around some very buried and entrenched game strategies and old identities that formed around those particular ways of being. Also I'm working on a person who is very alive and near to me, not dead parents.

The dry fast since the 22nd is helping me stop satiating my mind with snacks and do these activities instead. Also I enjoy the "ethics" of working with the body as a lifeform and communicating with its own body intelligence without identifying with it.

I'm also sporadically taking a nootropic "stack" of 1/2 modafinil tablet and 1/3 Lipodrene tablet. I might need to cut back on the Lipodrene during the dry fast as it's too impinging, but it does help me to "connect up" to a more refined awareness and ease of expression of higher truths. The stack is not helping my foot-dragging though and that might require a separate therapy to source that in the mind. For example, "with regard to foot dragging what incident are you stuck in?" ..... something along those lines to go looking for some deeply entrenched or buried decisions made in the past during a moment(s) of confusion.

I am allowing myself to be more aware and truthful about some of my better known (to myself at least) personas developed around non-life goals. I feel less stupid, although as I said I am dramatizing my past unethical behaviors and being very careful. For example, I had a bit of an internal argument while raking the leaves about whether I should pick up that can or just rake it aside with the leaves and it felt serious and finally I decided I better pick it up so that my whole track of "sins" doesn't come crashing in on me. So I'm still at risk and know it, but I have my two favorite activities here to fall back on so it's not like I'm going to be stuck in this temporary neurosis. I already went through much of this when I was dramatizing aesthetics.

In particular, with regards to ethics, I'm dramatizing all the times I had such a wonderful purpose that I reasoned that the ends justified the means, so I'm being very sensitive to that in myself and in others and very very careful about agreeing with others who even appear to be operating that way. For example, Ron Hubbard once said his purpose to get clearing tech delivered to the world was more important than people's [little] lives (he was referring to his research into the mind that might have messed up some people's minds, being an incorrect technique - he certainly did mess up some minds with wrong approaches, but he also came up with some real "winners" - or at least discovered them and popularized them). This does not jive with me at all, and I know in the past I would have done the same as him, but my sensitivity won't now allow me to do that. And I cringe if I think others might be doing that.

For example, discussing this with my clearing partner, he joshed with me and asked me what about the laborers in China who are exploited to make your laptop? I was so happy to be able to answer him that I got this laptop from the electronics compartment at the local dump and so I did not contribute directly to the degrading system.  SO THERE!!! conscience clean emoticon (where's my halo?).

Repair of Importances (self/another)
Practicing the corrected RI - putting things around me in my actual space feels much better now and I see how I was once again making things more difficult than they should have been, although it was not entirely fruitless, just not efficient prepping for the core activity of timebreaking.

Self: I'm still playing around with a crystal sphere and being more flexible about finding the correct comfortable gradient. For example the sphere can still be 360-degrees and be flattened underneath me while I'm sitting cross-legged on my mat. It's work though, and admittedly getting easier the more I practice. I've also decided to start "talking out loud" my creation as I'm attempting to get it clearly placed around me.

  • The "change" that occurs starts with yawns (body tension - case manifestation that's yet to be resolved, probably tied in with the traumatic near loss-of-body incident in childhood - a good guess anyways; it can also be a manifestation of the loosening up of a long held lose/lose games goals, because I clearly instigated the child rapist using a couple of other personas I had collected in my travels, and he resonated with and went complementary with the self-destructive lose/lose personas.) And you thought all children are born innocent :-))
  • More yawns and possibly the yawns can also be related to breaking through mental barriers RE creating, which is one of the intents of this exercise. I'm also seeing the mental and physical tensions of the day arising and leaving with the yawns ... for example, the hard to experience jitteriness caused by the caffeine in the Lipodrene.
  • A spate of yawns causing me to pause and let it pass. I saw a protest RE ethics arise and fall. Saw that I'm possibly being too hard on myself and that I've been playing that game for a long time and need to let it go.
  • Yeah, so this type of RI really clears away the entwined physical and mental tensions so that one can be ready to do the timebreaking activity. AND ALL I HAVE TO DO is focus to put some simple [relatively important] created object all around me!!!
  • Amazing ain't it?? THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO DO!!!!  emoticon Another Helen Keller moment :-) Gollee, was I making it hard for myself!!!
  • I'm still making it hard for myself, but less so, and I now have regained some lost confidence I had in myself doing this activity.
  • I can make the glass clear or less clear and careful not to go into a total not-know about it by making it too clear.
  • The question came up, well, how did you make it? and my answer is I simply brought it into existence, and, yes I could go back to the sands and move it to a factory, etcetera, etcetera., and I suppose that would be okay too but the being can simply bring things into existence - whatever it can know it can bring into existence to be known.
  • We are moving away from 100% reliance on physical universe chi-matter creation, back to earlier times before that became popularized.
  • I decided I don't have to look behind me to see that I am putting it behind me - I know it is behind me and I know I can perceive it if I wish to.
  • If eggs were shaped like this they wouldn't try to roll off the counter top :-))
  • I see I'm getting lighter, less serious and yawning stopped for now
  • I'm inspecting my "egg" and feeling what it feels like to be enclosed in it 360-degrees, experiencing that for a bit before I move on.
  • Caffeine jitters gone, more relaxed, more "here", time to move on

Another  
I'm usually careless about this side of the practice and will be more sincere about it now.
I like to choose people I live with and I want to stick with simple objects that are not too difficult to bring into existence in a 360-degree formation
I also think it important to have them bring something into existence that would be real [important] for them too because I think one of the purposes of working with "another" is to get more comfortable and able to get into another's viewpoint regarding their own importances; however, I do see that it could also be an exercise in pan-determinism - getting "another" to bring something into existence that is complementary with my own goal(s).
Dennis does imply that these two practices together along with his teaching on the mind and games play will remove one's back-off about using pan-determinism in games play; however I'm still very sensitive to covert game strategies and so not quite comfortable with that yet and, given my case history, it would still be more therapeutic to continue to work on grooving in to being complementary with another's viewpoint and goal(s).
  • So I pause while I look and see what would be easy to bring into existence and be something that person would consider important in some way..... like something they already own.
  • Okay, M-I-Law has a bluish glass sphere so I'll see how that works for me
  • So, I have her bringing it into existence interactive with me and I accept it and place it around me 360. Whew! I know that someday this won't be so laborious, and will be simply routine.
  • She's holding out her empty hands and bringing it into existence in her hands and I take it up and enlarge it to put it all around me. Now, if I had her put it all around her first ...... ??
  • I'm expanding it by holding it in my hands and stretching my arms out to enlarge it.
  • I'm going through these gyrations (or gradients) because I'm still not at ease with suddenly deciding that it is wholly all around me 360. That still does not feel "real" to me, or I'm still working into the idea of placing things around me (probably some resistance to work through)
  • I also want to make sure I'm not just "quickie'ing" this exercise to hastily get it over with, and I may be going too far in the other direction of being too careful. That will get sorted out.
  • I'm trying my best to see it, perceive it in full color and form but I'm still somewhat occluded so that also accounts for my awkwardnesses with this activity. I have what is called, "an occluded case", not as bad as some, and it can be dispatched with some work done.
  • It's a good thing I don't have to hire someone to help me through my lower case - I'd be spending more than half my income and taxing that poor fella's patience; although I do run very well in timebreaking sessions according to my clearing partner.
  • Well,VOILA! After all that pussyfooting around (I'm a storehouse of idioms) I simply took a chance and put it all around me.
  • WHADDYA KNOW!!! Probably a freak moment, eh!
  • But I'm feeling very much like the joke's on me and I'm okay with that and maybe now I can do some timebreaking - oooooooh, scary.  What demons will come out?? Kidding aside, I'm optimistic and willing to see whatever comes up - I think.
  • If I weren't on a dry fast this would be the time I would get a nice tall cool glass of water.

Core Timebreaking Practice - Level Three
If fear to approach this very revealing activity keeps feeling like a stop then I will drop down a notch and go and source that feeling, but let's give it a good college try. See, I am learning about my mind and how to better work within my case limitations, not striving for the absolute to happen right here and now.

RE Eating how have you handled _____________?"
OKAY, let the mind rip ....
  • I was trying to maneuver him to get my coveted grape juice as a rather automatic game I play with him and with my mind, even though it does not yet indicate to me to end the dry fast. I was working with myself to stay in the present regarding physical labor requirements versus the dry fast requirement for lessened body activity. I see I finally did the right thing so I'm glad for that.
  • I see that today, as usual I wanted to handle him on his diet of processed foods and seeing that it could have something to do with his feeblenesses, but I knew that would not go well with him, and I knew he would only agree to handle his body through timebreaking, if he does at all. I know he is attempting to handle his body using the Meta-Medicine charts and data.
  • Take another look at that protest ...
  • I'm working through a need to handle him on his diet - a lot of concerns and worries come up around that plus the opposite swing into carelessness ... and I'm ready to let go of the compulsions embodied there with their attached game strategies
  • This process the way I'm breaking it down into separate goals is working well for me, especially after doing a noticeably good RI
  • Feeling the loss of failure to handle him but not wanting to give up and instead wanting to try harder - some other strategy I have not thought up yet?
  • I'm sure this is "female case"
  • Related past comes up with family members
  • Also see something about being forced or forcing others to swallow pills or eat mind-altering/poisoning doctored foods
  • Oh, yes, that time I fell off my horse after eating poisoned fruit leather .... hahaha ... and it was such a perfect life!
  • [Repeating the enquiry all along during this activity to keep the case moving]
  • Oh, I have poisoned others or attempted to in other lifetimes and so I'm being overly sensitive about one's eating habits, eating poisonous junk food, making a big importance out of it too. I also see times when I really enjoyed experiencing the effect I was creating on that person or persons. It all fits in with my original lose/lose postulates.
  • I'm seeing where I've also agreed to or unknowingly took in a poison or mind-altering limitation
  • I also see I'm dramatizing my unethical abuse of my own body for sake of the food sensations I grew accustomed to in this society.
  • So, on the other side of the coin I have also handled him, using his habits as an excuse, to continue to ignore my body's intelligence about its native diet, so I also prompted and encouraged him in his habits for my own purposes, pretending to be complementary with him.
  • It was good that I was not giving him any flak about his diet but I did not need to go to the other extreme in order to continue my childhood nostalgic habituations and unmet desires re food sensations, because I am very aware that I can cleanse and change my taste buds over to preferring natural foods according to this body's intelligence by changing habits and education.
  • I have handled him by using imploring methods to get him to buy me foods that I know he has no affinity for and I keep trying to work up some affinity in him with no successes so I degraded myself into imploring methods, almost selective propitiation, like ...
  • "Honey, I know you have no affinity for the foods I prefer but would you please allow me to buy this?" Things like that.
  • Also, I see where I got a bit pushy expecting resistance to what I feel I should have to eat, which I see is coming from my own mind's barriers and I'm projecting that on him.
  • He is not against my diet, only against my trying to force it on him or concerns about money because fresh fruits can be more expensive than a 12-pack of ramen noodles, so yes, he may be having a stop in that regard, and so I am too, and I guess that's why I decided to go onto the dry fast while I'm working on resolving through these game strategies I play on myself and on him. So it was also an ethical consideration and I feel more ethical doing the dry fast.
  • Okay, I also see how just because one is "next to god" eating raw fruits does not mean they need to self-induge in it, and I've seen some fruitarians really self-induge and that makes them no better than a junk-food junkie, except that they probably won't get any diseases or cancers from doing that.
  • I've cleverly engaged him in helping me select the ripest watermelons, trusting on him to do it, and the same with avocados. He really is quite good at it, but I was also thinking myself very clever, which implies a game strategy, doesn't it?
  • In fact, I recall now, it was him who showed me how to test for a ripe apple.
  • Of course we all enjoy it when our intimate one is complementary with something that we feel is life-refreshing, but I see how I was projecting the games barriers in my own mind and involving him too.
  • My latest strategy was to encourage him more into eating the canned fruits as he likes them and I even proposed to build a stock of canned fruits, but then he got tired of eating them always and so now they are only an occasional part of his diet, if at all anymore.
  • Gee, except for the chewable vitamins, my children always ate whatever I put on the plate in front of them. If I had to do it over I would train their young and data absorbing minds into preferring raw fruits - so much more fun than what I was cooking up for them. But somehow they made it through childhood with none of the usual childhood sicknesses and seem fairly healthy, so I must have been doing something life-enhancing for their little bodies.
  • I play convincing games with him when I want to purchase something that I know is a bit pricey and might seem to him like a luxury item. i'm constantly feeling the need to defend or go on the offensive regarding my food selections, and a lot of that is because I myself know when I'm merely satiating, self-indulging the mind. This has become an ethical issues for me.
  • For a long time I've felt a need or entrenched decision that in order to make my body systems work well I need to stuff myself, and stuffing myself also satiates the mind.
  • I'm so not used to sharing a budget with someone, being so economically "one" with a person. And it is not that he is not generous when he can afford to be, and he is making gallant attempts to be complementary - within a budget, and I do need to curb eating for pure self-indulgence and distraction, etcetera, but simply to meet the body's needs (a de-toxed body that is not warped on the standard American diet and feeding the desires of the craven inner critters).
  • So, in conclusion in this session, I see that I'm really in need of and reaching to handle myself. Attempts to handle him with various game strategies was simply a way of living that I had become accustomed to and it is currently not my path.
  • I am starting to handle myself, starting with this dry fast which is going very well - me and my body tick-tocking along smoothly with each other. My body puts up almost no protest re no food and drink. I do feel the hunger in my throat, but on good advices I know to only break the fast when the hunger comes from the belly, where that particular "brain" is located. All I feel from the belly is its healing work, taking advantage of the not-eating cycle.
  • I realize I also employ a game strategy of giving out lots of "reasons why" instead of merely stating a simple basic truth, such as "It indicates to me right now". Then if he wants to break out his chart and discover what mental issues accompany that I'm fine with that and willing to take a look. Almost everything we do that seems right to us is still a product of the mind, so open to examination and nulling.  There are no sacred cows here :-))
  • Truthfully, the ONLY sacred thing we do is this mind vanishing activity.

RI to seal off the session.

1 March 16 Toward Vanishing the Mind


Went through my "Elevator" experience and now out on the other side, but it was uncomfortable:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeW7T5Q5mhI Jake Green, in the movie, "Revolver", goes into the elevator and while in there he drops a huge chunk of his mind, but on its way out, the mind put up quite a fight.  However he came out of the elevator free and clear.

So, yesterday I was dramatizing ethics and today I feel like I pushed out further the three corners of the triangle of Simplicity-Patience-Compassion. As usual I went through the emotions of shame, which always seems to coincide with the exposure of a game strategy. Eventually we find out how boxed in we are by our minds and those old games decisions and the addictions to emotions/thoughts/feelings.

Before my elevator experience I had a vision of how people are trapped and dominated by studying their sensational tendencies and then gradually getting them to like a substitute that traps them into an economic system. Now I see why I was kicking up my heels against people who do this - I did it too in my history as a being. I played my part in my long history of a lose/lose postulate. I had to face my own acts too in order to move out of the shame/blame, guilt/ridicule games projections.

Right now, in my relations with my family, I have only one impinging ethical dilemma and I'm starting to get more logical about it, instead of dramatizing it. I'm not sure yet if I have the best solution.

Ive decided to handle my current spate of arguments with my overly sensitive conscience by introducing a logical progression of importances.


Repair of Importances (Self/Another)
Today I can put something all around me 360-holographic, although I can't see it very well and that does bug me, but I'm taking that up as a separate issue which I DO know how to cure, but it's work. The main point I choose to correct first is to make sure I'm not doing it in my mind or as a process and putting it in the actual space around me and not being an absolutist about it.  For example, today my mind wanted to turn my black bunch of grapes into green grapes and I just said, "nope, I want those grapes to be black".

Level Three Timebreaking using "To Handle"

"With regard to eating how has ___________ handled you?

Resentments towards him re eating are arising.
Times he tried to convince me to eat and times he tried to stop or convince me from eating.
Times he ridiculed or resisted or refused to support my wanting to plant fruits
Resentment-resentment-resentment
lots of yawning off while timebreaking incidents
Use of force in the grocery store (also brings up time I did that to one of my children and another)
Having wimpy excuses for not going to the grocery store when I wanted to go - always having to submit to his desires and not liking it
Vowing to have my own car so he can't dominate me anymore
Scenes rising and falling quickly with heavy yawning
I stop to take a good look on things in my present environment, noting some things - produces more yawns


End off here and do RI (self/another)
I took an object in the room at random - a gooseneck lamp - and put it all around me and started yawning and I kept practicing putting it all around me repeatedly. Sometimes I work on outlining its borderline points around me. The more times I do that the more I perceive of it, and the more body tension (at least) is released (yawns). I'm starting to perceive it so well I'm starting to feel like I'm banging myself on the head with it. What am I doing with a head in the first place? I seem to be attached to having a head, lol. Each time I put it around me I'm perceiving more and more of it. The important point though, for sake of the core practice, is the release of tensions and repair of importances. Now it is thinning out and no more yawns.

Another:
I started out putting one in each of six directions and I suddenly realized how much importance I had placed on it when I thought of it as the only one in existence - got a good laugh out of that - joke's on me. I turned something I thought of as rare and one-of-a-kind into something I could make many of. Is that a repair of importance?
Have to get through this laugh attack.
This is how one gets stuck in the lies of a game - you can't have a game without making up some "pretends". But children know they are pretending and adults have forgotten they are just pretending.

2March16 Toward Vanishing the Mind
From the viewpoint of the creator beingness its formulations are perfect; its postulates are perfect. That could equate to "beautiful". Something about the concepts of "proportion" and "relationships" too. I'm also picking up on "motion", or "interaction". All of this is contained within Dennis' Level Five chart, which is based upon the creator's formulations or postulates.

On my ninth day of dry fasting (I stuck my hands in the cool creek water and rubbed my hands and face with it, so I can't technically anymore call it an "absolute" dry fast.) I had a wave of nostalgic loss when I saw my mother eating a sandwich. Then I walked away knowing simply that she was experiencing it for me.

The sensation associated with pride of accomplishment above the others can prevent one from taking the next step above. For example, this absolute dry fast is a rise in competency for me, built on my prior awarenesses and working through them. Instead of feeling proud and bragging on social media (my breatharian group) it's time to know and reach for the next step above dry fasting. This activity I do of RI and Timebreaking removes the barriers to awarenesses.

I have done well, in relationship to my past efforts, to achieve this level of simplicity in handling the body and my mind's desires towards the body and its sensation channels. Now it is time to expand further the three corners of my favorite triangle of "simplicity-patience-compassion". Even above that beautiful triangle is simply knowing, and that is why I do the activities of knowing and vanishing the mind. The dry fast complements in that I am increasingly knowing the body and its relationship with my mind. For example, when my mind is active the throat area and neck vertebrae burns with heat: I had my tonsils and thyroid removed when younger.

A fantastic modern day example of someone very sick who dry-fasted in the desert is Markus Rothkranz with his amazing turnaround story. What he chose to do after that is not my path, although I can experience that through him.

I found an excellent article about dry fasting:
http://www.beautifulonraw.com/dry-fasting-phenomenon-from-deprive-to-thrive.html

Repair of Importances (Self/Another)
Selecting objects in the room.
  • Release of tension (yawns)
  • Perhaps I am timebreaking the object itself without realizing it, thus the yawns
  • To satisfy the "quantity" requirement either putting object(s) 360 repeatedly, or many of that object at once.
  • My throat stopped burning
  • I did not exactly duplicate the object in the room because I tidied it up a bit first and then put that creation all around me 360
  • So I am creating it the way I want it to be and bringing that into existence 360
  • To accentuate the all around me effect I turned my head all around as if looking at it all around me - that seems to help make it more real
  • Some somatics felt
  • I'm reminding myself to not try to be absolute or perfectionist about it
  • OKAY, so I'm inside this object and knowing that and no more yawns or somatics

Another
Mother is handing me a wide-screened tv which I call a "boob tube"
  • So she is bringing into existence for me to experience something I'm not so willing to experience so I am going to put that all around me 360
  • Why, it's just a box with some gadgets inside!
  • A box that make pictures that you can assign some reality to.
  • I'm having another laugh attack at the significance I had been assigning to it
  • keep putting it all around me 360
  • Change still occurring (laugh attack)
  • It's like a way to put the surprise game on automatic
  • We can look into all of that later.
Level Three Timebreaking using "To Handle" Self-Enquiry
"RE eating how has ______________ handled you?"

  • Not supporting my desire for food sensations - invalidating my desire for food sensations, ridiculing, attempts to deprive because of a "know better". Making less of my importances. Trying to [forcefully] take away the pleasure of eating for eating's sake.
  • I see where I've done the same to him
  • I was always being faced with the choice to either fight back (overtly or covertly), repress and submit, or null my case re eating for sensation only; when I choose the latter, I am actually thankful.
  • I'm in a transition supported by the decision to dry fast
  • For him, depriving is his [perverted] postulate in an attempt to resolve what he considers a problem; a negative attempt to bring a playmate up to his playing level or viewpoint; I don't feel any charge on that, just a fact.
  • the challenge for me is to be willing to look at my own case and change or null my own mind vs going into a games condition with him - rather to examine the games condition within my own mind re body needs and sensational desires.

I'm seeing how the body was developed in an environment where its every need was simply met and every desire it could want was there in every fruit of every kind and all it had to do was reach out a long limb with long fingers or flexible toes. Would it ever ask, "What am I?". In the securing of this sensation its actions were not always complementary. There was bullying and intimidation and rejection and deprivation and even murder. There was also close bonding and love and nurturing. I'm not going to go into sex-sensation drives here.

Aside from the mind's sensation aversions and attachments re eating, the body at this moment during the dry fast is experiencing no sensational drives for any sort of food or drink. It only comes up in the mind and its memories of the past. Literally, eating is a "thing from the past".

Because of how the game is owned here on earth by seemingly non-life master/slave mentalities who play covert games in order to get the slaves to trap themselves by their own sensational drives, and thus agree to their work-prison, one must walk with a high degree of discernment, like walking on thin ice, for conscience and ethics sake. It is almost as if they in their lose/lose game they do not even want man to continue. Perhaps they want to shift reliance onto robots of some sort. "The meek shall inherit the earth." This would call for me as a spirit, yet unable to leave the universe, to be willing to be complementary with that and drop reliance on human bodies as an experience channel.

Ethics and conscience is not an act of protest against the current system, but simply a personal choice to live a life of simplicity-patience-compassion.
A being always has the right to leave a game, and other beings can tell lies, etc, to keep a being from leaving a game. Jesus said be in the world but not of it... no attachments, no aversions.

My current worldly condition ethically calls for me to stop eating or drinking and I am allowed the time and space freedom of self-enquiry,

The "god-force" inside plus the carbon-nitrogen-hydrogen from the air can nourish the body if one is not ruled by sensation, etc.
RE "god-force" - in one of my sessions I did see the body has some sort of light/life energy within it that is very powerful/energetic; I also saw a "black dot" of some significance.

[NOTE: Since dry-fasting I do notice my nasal passages opened up and my body periodically takes deep breaths.]

Other than Repair of Importances I am not on a path to feed the mind, but to vanish the mind, but the body has its own intelligence and mind and I'm willing to go complementary with it to its highest and best.

The beautiful thing about the absolute dry fast vs the water or juice fast is that de-tox all happens internally through incineration, so is less messy (like an incinerating toilet).

I am told (I'm not personally aware) that this body has around it other less solid bodies, so it makes sense that one would rise in awareness and drop the reliance on this body, into a higher, less dense body, and of course no need to be located in a body at all.
Or perhaps the higher energetic body could be tapped to energize this more solid body. We're still talking about being restrained within this universe.

The first importance is vanishing the mind, and the body plays an importance in that for now. So the immediate importance of the dry fast is for health promoting de-toxing, and incidentally for aiding in self-enquiry towards vanishing compulsive desires for or against eating sensations. Garbage out of the body/brain/mind complex.

3Mar16 Toward Vanishing the Mind

Repair of Importances (self/another)
After writing my heart out in a letter I felt very peaceful and calm, plus the dryfast puts the body into a more peaceful and calm state doing what it wants to be doing instead of having food and drink forced down its gullet by a spirit whose mind is leading it by the nose, having chosen the body as a sensory and location channel.


Level Three Timebreaking
Feeling a bit separated from the body, I departed from the "To Handle" exercise and ran this repeatedly until no more answers:

"What are you?"
  • This ran very well with yawns and the mind chewing on the questions with answers and more yawns.
  • Then it got stuck in a Loki-type personality (non-life goals) and I unstuck it using the six-directions technique.
  • All the time my eyes are open and aware of the environment around me and I say the questions out-loud.
  • After some rounds of the six-directions commands and "thank you"s, it came unstuck, with some revelations
  • - How often have I protested living on an insane planet?
  • Reminder to remain passive and be willing to experience whatever the mind throws up.
  • Moving up the scale into pride and self-satisfaction; still some heavy identification
  • Now I seem to be working in the thought band because instead of scenes are coming word answers, descriptors; I acknowledge and continue to ask the question.
  • The polarization is decreasing and a sense of awareness of the duality of this universe is arising, and the protest is nulling
  • Six-directions employed on a beingness filled with fearful restlessness and uncertainty (heavy identification stuckness)
  • Shame and tears and sorry-ness, confessions: "I want to be sublime and beautiful". (Waiting for the tears to subside.)
  • I suspected my recent ethics stance was compromised but I could not put my finger on it and it nagged at me, and now it is exposed and clearing out.
  • My desire for being ethical was greater than my desire to continue to be married to this non-life persona.
I'm going to take a win with spotting this and the nice release and would like to continue with this next sit.
This self-enquiry covered higher ground re game strategies than did the specific "To Handle", and it also included my relationship with the person I was focusing on in the "To Handle" self-enquiry.

Repair of Importances (self/another)
It looks like another game strategy tagged persona bit the dust, so good idea to fill in for the lost importance
Sometimes you don't know how much you really need to do RI until you actually start to do it (yawns do not precede RI).


I think the dichotomous question to balance the first question is going to be "What is your body?" or something like that, since this was originally aimed at my decreasing identification with my body. The first question is designed to take you out of your mind and into awareness of static beingness (something the mind cannot perceive), and the second questions is designed to ..... ?? remains to be seen. I didn't want to use the question, "What are you not?" because I don't like asking negative questions.
I wanted a self-enquiry that would resolve the tug between awareness of static and awareness of body.

I am going to call this a First Dynamic (dynamic of self) Static Revealing

Day eleven of dryfast and no body stressors. Mind playing with sensations of thirst and satiation of thirst that comes and goes, so obviously not of the body. Still pee and tongue not swollen so body is okay. Body is content like a sleeping baby and it gives me almost no issue. This type of de-tox is so much better than the "wet" de-toxes (water and juicing de-tox fasts). Air moist and cool and it feels it is soaking into the skin and lungs. I guess that is why Yeshua went into the desert - to do a real proper dryfast. Body incinerating and can feel the heat in various places - mostly neck/throat/vertebrae. 

It is almost a "loss of importances" and last night I had to create a lot of beautiful bodies all around me and was dreaming of returning next life as a handsome Thai woman.

Wishing for a real Finnish sauna to accelerate the de-tox. Will the body ever need to eat or drink again? Can it re-train itself? First out with all the unnecessaries and then we will know. I already know, and it is my mind that lags.

Do those who believe they own this planet and these bodies (and thus our souls) - do they want the body to live or die? I'm seeking to play a win/win game with all - no biases. No need to consider having opposers if not attached to having or not having a body to interact with, and sometimes it feels like they are trying to push us out of our bodies or get us to further degrade our bodies to keep us trapped within them. How does one play a win/win game in those circumstances?

Thus my current focus on the first dynamic of self, particularly the mind/brain/body complex that I'm so heavily identified with and dependent upon for sensory stimulation.  What does the body really need and want versus what my mind needs to be satisfied?

There are two types of exteriorization: to escape "reality" or to be more detachedly present with "reality".

Except for when I command it, the body is like an old dog and just likes to chill out or sleep. It dutifully obeys my commands though and will do work, which is better than I can say for my mind, ha! I think it would prefer to work outdoors, in natural settings.

Even once I manage to maintain a viewpoint exterior (detached) to the body I am still running a physical body in a society that seems to have a love/hate relationship with beings who do such. It seems the more ideal scene is to simply operate using a solid looking projection of a body that needs neither food nor shelter but can still interact as long as one feels they need to, and I still need to.

The question is not when were you first confused? The question is even milder, "When were you first surprised?" and could be canonized into "Tell me a surprise." with of course the dichotomous command.

*But of course placing postulate "A" over there and postulate "B" across from it and letting the sparks fly between them is an all encompassing technique. So back to the basics of vanishing the mind which is nothing but a postulate structure with a lot of viscera attached to it.

Of course, if all of this is an illusion/delusion then why am I crying wholeheartedly over my sins? Because I did not play a good game - a win/win game. I never mastered the game, and now I feel so degraded and degrading of the "others" ["Tell me a game."], all of us sitting by the waters of the Babylon bemoaning the times when we had real unity, not this lower harmonic unity. So now, it is appropriate it seems to devote some time to vanishing the mind of its covert game strategies and non-life goals.... a no more tears formula emoticon

For example, I imagine as a being there have been many sins against bodies which would account for me being in a love/hate relationship with bodies, wanting to protect bodies, abusing the body for personal satisfaction, being made wrong by bodies, etcetera, etcetera. So that now bodies or a body are included within the dynamic of "self". That would include every persona I'm keeping in persistence because I was convinced that I harmed that persona, or it was a winning persona - and now it is me/mine.  You've heard of people sometimes continuing the persona of a recently deceased parent, becoming even more like them.

Never to forget though that bodies and personas and entities and chi affinitized into matter are nothing but postulate structures, so Level Five is still the Holy Grail to resolve all of this. And I've tasked myself while I am on Level Three, before I incinerate my mind doing Level Five, that I will focus on exposing and vanishing covert game strategies that have caused so much degradation.

Read and bookmarked every article I could find about people who do dryfasting and doctors who are experienced in supervising a dryfast. Tomorrow up at 6a.m. to start my first 10 seconds of sungazing.

Repair of Importances (self/another)
Had to step outside in the cool moist air and hug a tree for awhile before I could feel logical again :-))
yawning (I'm always surprised at how much I really needed to do this exercise)

Another
Done



Level Three Timebreaking
Not ready for another round of this yet - tomorrow.




*For example:   Place Postulate "A", "I want to know the grocery store" in one location in the room, where you can be aware it is there; then place Postulate "B"  "You must not know the grocery store" in another location across from Postulate "A"; hold both of them up together and see what happens in the space between them (in your mind). Keep eyes open while seeing/feeling what the mind throws up. Keep doing that until no more change. This is the extent of the exercise in Level Five, using the basic postulate structure of the mind and its possible interactions. It will handle the struggles against the mind and struggles with "others".

Chitta produces chi which can be converted to matter through affinitization. Some beings make use of this for energy and in localized areas sometimes these types of civilizations like to create lots of chitta (in the mind it is called psychic mass) and minds collect this as an importance too so it is fairly easy once the ball gets rolling. This might be a big purpose for meat-body societies and wars, constant degradations, win/lose and lose/lose games being promoted as good.

In one of my sits I experienced being polarized in the beingness of a "chi eater" and it was a wonderful sensational experience and I wanted to keep going until the whole area was sucked dry.. Of course that was only one side of the equation, this being a dual universe being necessary for sensation.

A little talk about ethics I'm imposing upon myself. First my personal ethics on my mind and my body and my home, car, other important possessions.
I'm now in a win/win condition with my body and I am in the dryfast as long as there is appearance of wasting, especially the skin and muscles. When that turns around and there begins a regeneration phase then that is a true breatharian imho. The stomach is sleeping like a baby.  Now the mind: the mind has been using the body for sensory channels and I'm getting wiser and wiser about that daily and currently dealing with the subtleties of thirst sensations and the mind's memories and thoughts, etc.

This body is at risk as long as it is dependent upon glandulars for survival, thus the extra measures to create a win/win situation on the dynamic of "self" as it currently is viewed. My aim is through dryfasting and lifting off psychic mass imposed by the mind's struggles, the body will regenerate the missing body parts. Eating animals' glandulars is not a win/win game.

The results of these decisions and the first stage dryfast is encouraging, even though skin is suffering the worst for looks and I'm having to pay very close and detached attention to the mind's reactions, but after all these hours of clearing I'm fairly familiar with my "Dukkha".

Since the brain and nervous system are also de-toxing, wasting - there is some flare up as body takes it on as a project. Mostly the body is focused on the area where the thyroid and tonsils and adenoids were removed - always much heat there, but I suspect also much psychic mass enbedded there too, so will take some extra measures to work with the mind and make things easier on the body.

The Second Dynamic of "Family" is pretty fucked up now and if truth be told probably always was, just that I wasn't seeing it logically as I am now.
I made the error of not being the "silent witness" and fucked things up even worse, dramatizing my sudden expansion of conscience and desire to play win/win games and not yet having removed an entrenched non-life persona (an old old friend for sure).

After that got nulled (at least for now) I am now able to keep silence and focus on fixing myself first - especially the mind. My emphasis with the mind is to continue to do self-enquiry that exposes buried, entrenched game strategies WITHOUT BEING A MASOCHIST about it and driving myself neurotic or even worse. This dryfast is already putting me through an emotional mill (shameful crying alternating with belly laughs). Also, it's not FAIR to impose a second dynamic family relationship on others using a body and mind that are out of balance, asking others to take on my first dynamic troubles.

Through all this I've started to have more moments of absolutely no emotions = equanimity, at a level or degree I've never before experienced.  I am not currently taking any modafinil so that is not the cause for my suddenly increasing moments of lucidity. I also am finding I am more able to stop a line of thinking or emotional jag and say, "Now, here girl, let's take a logical look at this ..... " and start looking at the "reality" of the situation instead of what my mind wants to project.

Re the body, I suppose it is the need for a thyroid that is the mother of necessity driving me to explore outside the self-imposed box, plus my personal ethic of stepping more and more into simplicity.

My breatharianism Facebook Group has inspired me and supported me.

Tomorrow I need to get up early and go hiking with a fellow aspiring breatharian - she is probably wanting to check me out because of the length of my dryfast, but she also wants to go walking barefoot, so she's COOL! And since my family dynamic feels a bit shot to hell and I don't know what to do about it I look forward to a friendly face who is not asking me to take responsibility for all the troubles. However, I must work up to that, just not yet.

First Dynamic of "Self", Project "Waste and Regenerate" re the mind/brain/body complex that I call "myself", that I use to locate myself on this playing field while I do my vanishing work on the mind and its associated identified importances.

The nitrous oxide from the gums seems to have run itself out and now just crying - don't have the source on that one yet, but seems okay for now - just cry about how I've messed up my whole existence and now I realize better and am turning that around, but still sad about the past mis-handlings too and what my current scene is as a result.

Breaking 13-day absolute dryfast with structured water and squeezed lemons (with stevia of course). Will probably be on that for a long time. Will download eye photos and study iridology. Breathing is more naturally "pranic".

"With regard to _________________, how have you controlled others?"
"With regard to __________________________, how have others controlled you?"

Or else use the full set of "To Know". Either way it will expose covert game strategies and related personas, and get one wise re games strategies.

Before these current bodies there was possibly only the First Dynamic of Self, and the dynamic of a brotherhood and a sisterhood.

Insights Into Dhukka

My clearing partner, somewhere along the line, made a decision that it was better to not create any effects (i.e., Not-Be-Known), and that in fact polarized his mind on the side of the game where it would be better to die a "noble death" or suffer miserably (but nobly) than to create effects, especially concerning the long and failed history of the Group Dynamic project he has now taken up, if history be true. I observe this is true across all his dynamics, starting with the dynamic of "Self" and into the dynamic of "Family". My most complementary action is to not demand any effects from him to be created upon his body or self or his family dynamic, nor his dynamic of "stuff"; nor his personal struggles to effect people with "the truth" (so he can once again be taken down and so have increased impetus to continue this highest of high games - freedom for all. That is a difficult game to let go of.). His desire "to know" is an on-guard, watchful of others with the aim to deny, mostly unconscious of course, accompanied by very reasonable sounding and astute discourse on the subject of "others" dhukka. He is playing a very interesting game based upon his favored postulate sets and the story built up upon that.

My Dhukka is predominately the opposite - must-create-effects, and would rather die a "good death" than not create any effects at all. This is true across all my dynamics and can make me a real pain in the neck for myself and my intimates. This is a great game because I will always be able to drum up interactions of rejection by "not-selfs", and persist down that degrading trail, but with plentry of sensation to be had, so who cares how degrading it gets - I'll take my sensation where I can find it, on a more and more limiting scale. My struggle therefore is being complementary with those who reject my effects (i.e., they don't want to know my effects), don't want to hear about my freedom game. All effects have the danger of being considered an overwhelm so much wisdom and discernment is required in this game. This is where my "must create no effects" partner gives me insight - sometimes going overboard with the automaticity of correction. A must-not-know would hate me for all this revelatory spiel, but would "love" me for giving them a game, esp. if they think they can win out at cancelling or rejecting my attempts to create effects. ("Ha! I shut her down!")

I realized over a year ago that was why I so loved my daughter - with her gentle "we must not know that" rejections, so full of beautiful vipassana-like, "we shall merely know our breath" admonitions.  "But, but, but .... listen to me ..... dear daughter ...., look how awesome I have become ....  bask in my light of true freedom". Isn't it interesting how she makes herself known with the objective to make sure no one is making her know? Otherwise she is silently listening to her own inner song. The lovely waft of chi. Don't be fooled, though - she did marry a flaming must-be-knowner - the game is on.











Dhukka becomes a problem of magnitude to the degree one is using force, persuasion, convincing, prevention, denial, and general non-life goals.... to the degree one is focusing on another's dhukka vs one's own, for it takes two conjured "selfs" to tangle.

12Mar16 Toward Vanishing the Mind - "Thanks, I needed that!"

Regaining strength from 13-day absolute dryfast and eating varied fruits. I learned that if I really want to suffer and aggressively pull toxins from the body I should simply limit my diet to (peeled, seeded) lemon smoothies with a pinch of red pepper. The 13-day dryfast was preferred to that experience.

The long absolute dryfast combined with the sudden disappearance of any past issues or covert games strategies with my parents gained me a clearer conscience, a re-alignment of what's really important,  no more panicky attacks, fewer stray fears, less worries about a current family issue, more laughing, more able to express my truth in a nicer way than before (still a bit playful antagonistic at times, but much firmer in my decisions to follow my own ethics). I find I'm loving the person more than the game or the game accessories. I've started digging deeper into contemplation of Level Five.

My approach as a counselor is very different too - meeker. I am simply a self-enquiry guide and as much as possible I get them to do all the work and I'm happy to be a "nobody". The body is also much calmer, although there is still much stagnant lymph and I will be doing more lymphatic de-toxing from the brain and gut, and de-toxing and nurturing the glands, but this was a sufficient re-set for me for now. My diet is Saatvic for sure - alkalyzing fruits.

All during the dryfast I enjoyed the koan "Why are you in need of nothing?", if it can be called that? Sometimes I would disappear in a buttery swirl. Still need an inordinate amount of naps after any physical exertion. Dog seems to like me more....it's mutual.

RE-Listened to Dennis' lecture re Covert Game Strategies and felt the hot tears of shame of one leaving today - how I'm coming to love those hot tears of shame emoticon I feel like I'm beating Dennis at his own game, introducing this technique at such an early stage of TROM. But he did say 99% of games strategies are analytically decided upon in childhood - how could I leave that alone!?!

Had a new person today and he did very well with the "To Handle" self-enquiry. [NOTE: he did not reply to my latest inquiry]
Discovered a FB "DryFast" group and they've been very helpful... and it looks like I will learn how to wisely incorporate that more frequently into my ongoing body de-tox.



Repair of Importances (self/another)
Very much enjoying new approach to RI: take a postulate and add mass to it and put that all around me. Today's postulare was "To Be Free", for self and for another, and I simply created scenes that represented that and put those scenes all around me. I swore I could actually smell those ylang-ylang blossoms.

It sounds like a great prep for Level Five, which is merely putting up the raw postulate and letting the mind fill in with and discharge whatever scenes is has stored in its memorybanks.

Big yawns
The only thing that is really important is not getting stuck here because you are convinced you are only a human :-)
On the other side of the coin one can also find freedom in being human - by compassionate choice.
In whatever, one need never see themselves as "stuck", unless they do it consciously and are happily stuck :-)
"Happy to be stuck with you."


Level Three Timebreaking using the "To Handle" Self-Enquiry
I want to stick with the 1st Dynamic of "Self" until I'm satisfied with it.
I timebreaked a stream of scenes related to the struggle between wanting to be human and not wanting to be human.
I realized I have to stop this put-on happiness - I just really spotted what I was doing. Not helpful to dhukka to think I'm happy when it is just "efforting".

So, let's continue to take steps to come clean re "bodies".

"How have you handled your body?"
  • Big yawns - timebreaking scenes that come up
  • putting it in unecessary danger
  • using it to build up my ego instead of simply enjoying it and being content with it
  • using it for status and recognition and "favors"
  • to try to dominate males, mess with them (a non-life covert game strategy against males); there is sensation associated with this, both when winning and when losing.
  • unnecessary or non-optimum skin applications
  • An IP ("Impossibility Point") state for and against the body discharged and the realization followed that with compassion there is always freedom, whether with a body or without a body
  • To make a false impression - to project a desired, but false beingness (not doing the inner work first)
  • I'm feeling more affinity towards body now - like a beloved pet, and with no unusual demands on it
  • All of the above compulsions feel lessened.
  • The body appreciates being allowed to go into healing/de-toxing modes
  • The body likes fruits but it doesn't go gaga! over them - rather bland re eating
  • bodies belong in a native habitat of fruit forests - at least this body sentience says so - and the problem is the mind has other memories and attempted to re-inject former societies here on earth, or connect up with former [lost] societies "out there".
  • When I asked the body, "How does being alone seem to you?" I got the idea of colonies and constellations of life that compose the body. Thus the body has an outward stillness that the mind does not.
  • Reading about proper care of the body is for the mind only and necessary to keep the mind complementary with the body.
  • Part of this body's great contentment is that it needs eat only freely offered fruits, berries, and melons and so is mostly complementary with the biosphere - no covert game strategies of the predator or prey. It is only abberrated by contagion, living in a mostly predator/prey environment... a biosphere that has been tampered with.
  • Only the first dynamic of the body was addressed in this sit. Not much foray into sexing, the Second Dynamic.
  • I asked it how does its lymph system seem to it now and got a surprised-joy response - very approving and happy, keep up the great work, me getting out of its way and allowing it to do its work. Feeling that stomach/digestive tract has been over-rated, out-of-balance, swollen - still needs some attention. Almost a feeling that the digestive tract was a later addition - or tampering by mentally busy game players, and/or the tampered food, but it's not making a big drama out of it, it just noted it.
  • When I ask about the brain centers I pick up on a more solid feeling, perhaps an irresonance or irrelevance that could be resolved.
  • I see I will also need to discharge some energy re the tampering or destruction of the biosphere and mind's attempt to come up with unusual, complicated solutions; definitely some compulsions there.
Do some RI
spirals of life
What if all these universes interact and compose a larger body?
quantities of biospheres


How has your body handled you?
I'm also starting to see how my body has been handled.




What does freedom on the first dynamic of "self" mean to me now?
  • full operational capabilities as a body self (healthy body) (eventually stretching beyond)
  • mind no longer impinges on body <> body no longer impinges on mind
  • volitional vs compulsive be-do-have (achieved through mental clearing work)
  • appreciation of self-life, self-sustaining




Here's a good dharma-joke:  "Sometimes my mind is so noisy I can't hear the ringing in my ears."  emoticon

15Mar16 Toward Vanishing the Mind
New person I'm working with is now running his own self-enquiry with some guidance based upon my own experience and data. It is so much better this way: Over Skype he runs his self-enquiry session and I watch and answer any questions and sometimes confirm a realization he is having. We are both on the path to NOBODY :-)

Shamanic session to inquire of Body Intelligence yesterday. Body scanned out all incidents of "poison" and this a.m. body was squeezing and stretching on its own.

I'm still pushing out on the three points of the triangle of simplicity-patience-compassion as spoken in the Tao Te Ching.
Sometimes I simply like to sit and experience the body life - the body is so calm and the mind is a different thing.

Today I pushed back and growled at my love and I felt strong, a growing strength within me; after timebreaking the scene my heart softened and I realized my compassion for him is greater than importance of being right or wrong, and I saw how I could have been more patient, and I released my own case re that interaction. It seems important for my internal peace to allow him to have his own experience but with an increasing knowingness re case and games people play (including myself), and still be complementary so as not to excite or provoke a games condition.

He and I were created to resolve a problem for a higher being and now, as that higher being I'm seeing I no longer need to create in order to rely on others to be a "something" in order to resolve my own case. This frees all of us up to be nothing, a nobody, nobodies, as we each work out our own Dhukka with wisdom and meekness. This is a different type of togetherness and love. It puts each individual right back on their first dynamic of Self and learning to operate from that center or base.

Plus, I should be pragmatic and recognize that there is a cognitive dissonance re the subject of the first dynamic - not an equally shared interest - and ask myself why would I impose my revelations? It's a compulsive type of "sharing" that does not recognize the truth and so use good judgement.

Level Three Timebreaking
Timebreaked the day's events and it was quite productive and my mind felt pushed out way far and I found myself in a future scenario giving an eulogy for a flipping happy deceased mother-in-law. I typed it all in a Notepad.txt just as she wanted me to say it.... "She came in like a lamb and she left like a lamb..."

Gave someone a session this a.m. It went well
Handled some finances, lunch of tomatoes and cucumbers plus an apple
Am going to use another body therapy that has been reported to help people regenerate tonsils
Great day to work on memorizing the Level Five chart
Took a bit of Lipodrene and Modafinil to help me be more alert during session
Strangely, I find it very liberating to be more and more aware of the extent of my dhukka - less delusional; sometimes I say to myself, "don't worry, that will get handled too." whereas before I would beat myself up or try to not-know it.

I'm taking the postulate, "To Eat" and manifesting something all around me about eating

Going to start timebreaking the day's events too
RE thyroid - saw a games condition and released and decided time to end the game
Level Two on the green snooze icon
nice big yawns
"Things are never going to be the same again" [Repeater Tech]; unfixing it from past and postulating it anew, afresh, with reference to present conditions
- a broken relationship - maybe s'thing mum and dad said to each other or thought
- source of my fears when there is an upset
- an implanted command for me to end a relationship when there is an upset; feels like a world-wide implant; deep sigh
- An IP state; body somatics; grief/shame; hopelessness; regret; apathy [END OF REPEATER TECH]

Continue Timebreaking the day's events:
I simply enjoy doing this because I can bring scenes from the past right up in front of me - a fun ability to have :-)
I'm feeling rather good now, so let's do some more RI and then dig into some "To Handle".

RI (self/another)
"None of this is important" (thoughts arising)
Using the TO Eat Postulate


How have you handled a body?
  • Listed everything I could think of - a long list - and summed it up
  • I did do some complementary things for the body
  • I am very glad that now I have much more knowledge to work with and much more decisiveness about the importance of keeping the mind/brain/body complex cleared of toxins.
  • I am very very determined to find techs to handle the missing thyroid issue
  • I did not really detect any highly charged game strategies against the body, except the game strategies of food manufacturers to trick out the body's taste buds. I guess I should take responsibility for agreeing with that on some level of consciousness; that was a covert game strategy against bodies, especially adding msg to make things taste good when they otherwise might not.
  • If I continued eating processed foods I would actually be in collusion with them against the mind/brain/body complex and agreeing with their non-life, exploitive goals
  • I'm moving towards more simple and fresh diet for the body, so far eating only raw fruits
  • the body is only a piece of meat is a thought that came up from others
  • OKAY I might be currently over-rating the body, but it will settle into a balanced complementary attitude
  • I am going to learn a new pattern of eating that incorporates frequent dry-fasting
  • After the thyroid issue is resolved I will once again explore the heights of breatharianism
  • I took a small bite of Lipodrene and did not like the change that occurred and will not need to do that again (I felt it diminished my capacity for compassion and patience)
More RI (self/another)

17Mar16 Toward Vanishing the Mind
Getting "fired" can be a GOOD THING. Especially when I had already shifted into a higher viewpoint but was still hanging on.

I am now more fully in the viewpoint/beingness of the one who conceived us as twins and she is doing the work she should have done instead of trying to solve a problem by creating more problems.... creating "others" to solve a problem for her. This is reflected in my First Dynamic of "Self" work. It was through him that I found myself again in this viewpoint and ready to take responsibility for myself, for my own dukkha.

The desire to end games is greater than the desire to play games, but it was touch and go there for a few days.

I am grateful. Yesterday I brought up a scene from the past of Dennis in his office when he completed Level Five.

My last message:
"I'm very happy with what is occuring for and within me, and you have played a very crucial role to help me to reach this state, this viewpoint.
It is a HUGE turning point and life shift for me in terms of taking responsibility for myself instead of trying to solve a problem through "others".
I wish to peacefully continue on my nirvanic path, leaving all games behind as they come into my awareness. I will not interfere with your current project. Whenever you feel like discussing the Level Five or Level Four please come and see me. I love M. as a mother and have made promises to her."

"How does life seem to you now?"   I feel more relaxed, freed, and happy others are freed of me because I see I was imposing on them, and I want them to be limitless....  and, as they wish, free to explore all their possible limitations ... and for me too. Shifting to a higher viewpoint is sometimes awkward, but I think this one went fairly well.

I wonder if one becomes fully self-fulfilled on the First Dynamic, would all other dynamics vanish? That would  be "Flow 0" - "self-self" wouldn't it?

OKAY, so let's get to know this new beingness and take it apart and see what is above that.

18Mar16 Toward Vanishing the Mind
A simple life: Doing our daily clearing work, taking care of Mom and the house, paying off the debt, doing more clearing work, and with some others too as it comes up; finishing our clearing work, deciding when to let the bodies go at a decent time/hour, exploring new pastures, after leaving behind a decent how-to of how we did it for some others who might also want to do it.
Complicated, fearful, compulsive minds make things complicated and messy. Clearing the past with my parents plus the dryfast helped me get more clarity on this.

All this body alignment work is a step towards orderly and decent and final separation from having to have bodies or having an aversion to having bodies, and to aid my self-enquiry practice which currently requires the use of this body.  The current status is the body needs re-feeding/re-building before it can do another wasting/de-toxing dryfast. This will be done repeatedly until the brain/nerves are satisfactory. The nerves are the most resistant to de-toxing and re-building thus the more steep, but simple measures. Re hunger, I'm learning to listen to my stomach area and not my throat area.

Since I have regularly taken up timebreaking the day I'm now being more conscious and careful of what I actually be-do-have daily.... cause and effect.

I've renewed a vow to myself to not get involved in games and to end all games I'm currently engaged in with my own mind and with minds of others .... as it comes to my awareness. This deeper look into body games supports that decision.

I no longer feel compelled to go to the stream and fill up multiple gallons of water and lug them back up the hill. Now I take one glass mason jar and fill it with water and often drink it right there while enjoying the view of the waterfall. If there's no water, there's no water, that's perfect too.

My creative and sensation urges towards food and drink is largely scaled down as I look wonderingly at how important it all used to seem to me. "How does eating and drinking seem to you now?"  I get a bit on the aesthetics/create aspects and a bit on the social bonding aspect, but I can see better ways to bring people together - people of higher caliber too, or bringing out higher caliber in current people. Now eating/drinking is more of a function towards improving mind/brain/body complex - more analytical and logical, although sensation can be had eating fruits/berries/melons, but if someone gave me a capsule that adequately replaced that I'd make the switch. I really like simple and free.

I am continually impressed with the need to memorize the steps of the Level Five... to ingrain them.

Simplicity-patience-compassion in all my daily interactions. I LOVE the simplicity of my nirvanic practice and I am grateful for this time and space that allows me my daily practice.

Day's events so far


"How has your body handled you?"
  • It sends me signals that can have the effect of keeping me operating within its limits
  • A sense of co-dependency - mutual fear of separation <> mutual wanting to separate ("I must leave <> I can't leave")
  • I keep getting this idea of unconsciousness; some grief; idea of the thyroid malfunctioning
  • okay, I get it - the body responds to my mind impingement by secluding areas where psychic mass is pressing in
[no more answers - switching]

"How have you handled your body?"
  • I used my body to commit overts against it and other bodies
  • many scenes with my children coming up (bodies of my body)
  • starting to stray into past lives

"How have you handled this body?"
  • yawns
  • I made it watch movies of violence against bodies
  • I made it commit violence against bodies
  • Aaaahhhhh - those hot tears of shame, finally
  • "I'm sorry, please forgive me."
  • where is the self-seeking pride now?
  • Now I feel all I want to do re others around me is to unobstrusively know them and silently set a good example and otherwise mind my own business. Detached and compassionate at the same time.

When I watch videos of ape tribes I see they live relatively simple lives, having babies, food in the trees and bushes, and then they die and come back into the tribe in their new young bodies and repeat it all over again, over and over again. As spirits, it is a type of "not-know" nirvana for them. Rosseau's "Peaceable Kingdom".  Whereas, we humans, we naked apes, we seem to be required to use our forebrains and complicated minds to begin our self-enquiry towards an unlimited, full-knowing, all wise nirvanic state, and that we were not meant nor allowed to remain in a simple-minded "not-know" that the other animals experience. Those "Tollesque" humans who do achieve a type of peace by withdrawing and agreeing to not-know are only biding time before their nosy and noisy tribal members succeed in scattering their peace. For we humans there is only one lasting nirvanic path and that is through knowing everything there is to know about our minds and ourselves. This is what Buddha did when he sat under the banyan tree.

    The odd thing is that today I ate a fresh raw chicken liver and it tasted like candy ... oh well ... followed by a chopped dark leafy green salad with cukes and tomatoes and an apple... rebuilding for the next autophagic cycle, and this time we're going further for the brain and nerves.

    Although he gives lip service to Trom, and his 1st and 2nd dynamics, he's completely wrapped up in his 3rd/4th Dynamic big game. He's wants to dominate me as a game piece. If he weren't my partner and hadn't done so many valuable services for me, and that I love his mother dearly, I would not even be giving him the time of day. We'd simply be two people passing each other by on the sidewalk. I do recall he had to suffer through my "big game" attempt until I finally gave it up, but, boy, he's really got it bad. Simplicity-patience-compassion. Nose to the grindstone.

  • I think I am actually IN a body
  • When body gets hurt I think it is my pain too
  • It's gotten me to want to protect bodies
  • It's gotten me to believe that there is no life without bodies, i.e., death of body equals death of me
  • It's gotten me to produce more bodies (children) and be attached to them
  • It's kept me from playing bigger games (that might be a good thing) - very low on the game board
  • kept me busy taking care of it
  • kept me busy taking care of other bodies
  • I didn't have to play all those games though and get caught up in the conventional system of life
  • I can see how I was irresponsible with this game piece and could have played a better game and been more complementary, peaceful and done more clearing work sooner.  That is all this body is good for now - I have no further use for it other than to finish Level Five.

I am not required to give anyone unsolicited advices or opinions, and that includes my family members.
Setting a silent example is my best.
Hmph, I just had this funny realization - I don't want to play the game of enhancing this property, meaning I saw it as a bit compulsive and now I just dropped it as a compulsion. Also, I see I have many other options, and also I see it is enough that I have this time and space to complete my clearing work.... all that occurred because I created the snowblower and put it all around me and it became obvious to me that it was an important "game accessory".

Level Three Timebreaking - Self-Enquiry

"How have you handled this body?"

Even though I see how my mis-handling of the body over the years prevented me from having good interactions and enjoying life, and even though I feel some regret for that, it is really not that important for me to enjoy life but to continue in my nirvanic path: repair and correct care of the body can assist or accelerate.

The bad conditions I created for others I am more willing to take responsibility for and do what's needed or possible to correct any damage I caused through my irresponsibility to take care of myself better, and other non-life goals.

Repair of Importances (self/another)
It seems I nulled an IP state regarding giving the body what it wants in terms of environment - now that my importances have shifted to my path practices I don't feel in a games condition with my body. Yes there are still some limitations on where I can actually live because of current interactions that are important to me. I'm more willing to place myself among other higher caliber beings.

It's nice to be able to help others fulfill their ideal scenes.

26-27Mar16 Toward Vanishing the Mind
snow job - An effort to deceive, overwhelm, or persuade with insincere talk, especially easy flattery.
                                       "The entire presentation was a complete snow job."

I am like a gray rock in the stream - boring, uninteresting, undramatic, simple. I work with others who request it and I work towards them doing their own work solo. I present them with simple self-enquiry tools that they can do for themselves. They empower themselves. Keep to who I am now, and enjoy the new me until the next new me is revealed :-))

The me that is me now, wants to set personal boundaries which is what the former me could not or would not do, being rather suppressed and inhibited and selectively propitiative. This appears to be a mostly female-to-male issue and an ardent pushing back against domination and manipulation, being more aware of it too. Also, at the same time, more aware of my own gaminess towards male partners, and more able and willing to timebreak it out as I spot it. I'm leaving that particular feedback game loop.

I'm finding that the most direct way to cure an upset is to pinpoint what it is I'm upset about (note any thoughts or self-talk or criticalness) and then seek to see how I've done that to others. I can take it further and see what postulates drive that behavior.

I spent several hours today reading studies about men who perpetrate "Lovefraud", and what their characteristic game strategies are, and I examined myself if I did that or ever did that to another, or if that had ever been done to me to any degree.  I think yes on all counts, and the articles gave me advices on how to detach myself from those games without antagonizing the perpetrator.
When I'm in a relationship with a certain kind of male I experience cognitive dissonance between what they say and what they actually are or actually do. I really hate being around people who do nothing but smack their lips together and make words come out - the same words over and over again.... what a tedious time waste. I no longer feel betrayed because there is nothing to betray - no game, no desire nor expectation = no betrayal. Yet, still ... where is my compassion for this type?

How can I make this human drama beautiful and of great value? The answer that comes to me is "Compassion". What could be more beautiful?

"To Eat" - Yawns
When a planet is ripened like a grapefruit is it also considered by some as fruit for eating?
Some delusions you can laugh off if they are comically presented; some come off only with a shudder, or even worse, a near heart attack
Eating galaxies is an acquired taste - a bit like eating ants (more chocolate pleeze)



Timebreaking
I'm starting to be bored with this. That does not mean there is not more material there to uncover; however it's best to move on now after running the last two self-enquiry questions as a closing salvo:

"How has this body been handled?"

Some feeling of shame/tears for splitting myself into multiple (psychotic) identities. I don't know how or why I did that but I sure wish I hadn't, and I sincerely wish to route out any other split-off identities if there be any. Not feeling so good right now.

The past is more clear now: at the end of last life I got myself subjected to some early MK-Ultra type mental and physical handlings and thereupon I split my personality out into two additional identities, each one representing the identities of the two beings who were overwhelming me, one a perverted mad scientist type and the other a fear-eater being. Shortly after I dropped the body and entered the womb of a lady who promptly became pregnant. I brought my mind and all its past records with me.
After being born at some point my father played lightly with me sexually and it was mostly enjoyable for both of us. Even though I could not talk I could let him know that I wanted to have that experience with him (he also gave me good tasting foods along with some sort of sexual sensation while also getting sexual sensation for himself plus alcohol was involved)

So, with that established when I encountered the babysitter's husband I expected the same treatment and gave him the same communication I would have given my father (perhaps I reached for his penis, sounds likely). Unfortunately, my two split off identities were also active and were more sentient and had more data about the babysitter's husband than I would have on the ground in that body and they were the type of identities that would have craved that sort of extreme sensation, each in their own way. So if someone said, "She was asking for it." they would have been partly correct. In my own mind I created the antagonist and the protagonist, the bully and the victim both. That poor man never had a chance after we worked him over.

Then the hot tears of shame as an answer to the self-enquiry "How has a body been handled". "I'm sorry, forgive me."
And I see how since then I have decided to protect this body and feed this body, but as with all good postulates it was equally opposed in my mind, and thus the multiple surgeries and other abuses and self-destructive acts. To a self-destructive being the body is merely collateral damage.

Gosh, how many more "alters" do I have and not know about?

Repair of Importances (self/another)
My simple nirvanic path takes me out - back through the way I came into this universe, and on the way back I re-visit old installed identities, increasingly more simple - and much wiser about how beings like to play games and the futility of games, although they can be unreasonably fun at times too.

Feel need to move into the second dynamic of family. I can cycle through the dynamics again.
Body is rebuilding on fruits and leafy greens and some cooked foods thrown in.
Client person had a good session today. Finding the incident and the trauma and the decision(s) made and then flattening the force of the decisions using Repeater Tech works very well for this one. It is all done within the context of "How has _________ handled you?" This is a wonderful self-enquiry to clear out learned behavior from parents and caretakers.

The emphasis on case right now is on compulsive lying as a game strategy. A culture of lying and lies sorely complicates one's life. First there is lying to self, then lying to others, then others lying to you and then others lying to others.
My first memory of this is with my grandfather and it seems logical I should take him up first, as one of my childhood caretakers.

Check "How has a body been handled?" for any further charge or change - this is complete for now.

Experienced a stream-of-incidents regarding lying, not being true, true to self. It is an old game that appears to be sourced at the separation incident.
  • Tears of shame, and then the compassion is revealed as first compassion for self and then it spreads out to others.
  • This is very precious to me.
  • I feel more simple. I'm questioning many things now. Where did my pride go?
  • It is important to be careful about making rash promises.
  • It feels like the whole universe is a set of lies.

This Old Soul is now learning how to consider the consequences of her choices in regard to people, the environment, the planet, health, other creatures, on collective potential, and possibility.

I feel like I could sit still for days and re-think my life as it passes by me. I love sitting with the soles of my feet touching.

The "Great Wall of Shame" in shamanic lore, and known to me as the "To Know" matrix... a self-created lie-machine, and I feel ashamed I did that - or is it how I reacted to that upon finding myself on the other side, birthed/deathed into this universe. And why does seeing others suffer make me unhappy when I know they caused it just as I caused my own suffering? I want to be nothing, nobody and this shame is making me experience all my interaction with everybody. Ashamed of my degradation and my degrading acts. I feel like I'm in some 100-Kleenex soap opera. How many eons did I hold it all in and can only now honestly say, "I'm sorry". At least this lifetime, perhaps last too.

Why am I doing this to myself? Because the lies and covert game strategies have been the woof and warp of my existence as a games player. Dennis sees the To Know matrix as a thing of beauty and I don't doubt that but right now I see it as a knowingly perverted act. I was knowingly perverted and I distanced myself from the "crime" by doing it on a via - via another who we now call The Creator. Now, both "me" and all the "mini-me's" can point to The Creator as the perpetrator. You are so stupid because you think you have the villain. Peel away all the layers of the onion and there won't be anymore finger-pointing by you. This is why it is good to own the shame and take responsibility as Cause on an ever-increasing scale, from macro to micro.

When one re-visits the reality of past and present interactions with self and "not-selfs" of course the shame of covert game strategies will and should be unsuppressed and re-experienced as one gives it up and gets more straightforward and considerate with their postulates and their interactions. It's a necessary layer of the onion and quite a catalyst for change.... a purge .... a de-tox. For me it is complementary with my body de-tox program. De-tox and rebuild, regenerate, create a new model of existence that puts the old model to shame... or no games state. Time to rethink my life as it goes past me.

People seek power through manipulating and dominating the not-selfs. True power is in self-control and command of one's own mind and body to the point of complete vanishment. However, I have the ability to choose who I will myself support and contribute to.

Timebreaking - Second Dynamic (Family)

"How have you handled A_____?"
  • bullying
  • Trying to fix whatever was wrong with him
  • constantly over-evaluating his cognitive abilities - not seeing the reality, pushing him to be better than he could be; assuming he was a normal person and wondering why that wasn't working, getting frustrated.
  • I fed his lust for data (a "To Know" case compulsion)
  • I tried to force him to manage his finances (earnings, savings, spending, etc.)
  • It sucks when you feel you have to rely on someone else and they don't pull their own weight
  • It sucks when you can't believe anything your partner says and he says a lot
  • It sucks when your partner is cleverly assessing you (from the data you give him) and manipulating you through your weaknesses and sensitive conscience - always getting you to focus on yourself so you won't notice what he's doing. Seeing him get pleasure from the success of his craftiness.

"How has A____ handled you?"
  • Delusional goals and promises
  • pathological lying and story-telling
  • covert "Black PR"
  • Why do I get stuck with people like this?
  • Why do children who take money from their parents have the most dis-regard for them and do less for them than children who don't take money from their parents? He couldn't ever do anything for her, even when I suggested it.
  • I always had to come up with the ideas - never a solution, always a problem; I should have made him solve his problems with himself as Cause.
  • Do we have mates and family just so we can give them our problems?
Conclusions:
I don't have to waste people's time anymore or engage them in my importances.
I can solve my own problems through meditative action.
Once I discharge my own overts in an area I can see someone else doing the same and not react emotionally, but at the same time I can let go of that person and let them go on their own way - to find another easy chump.
Letting go of long, dearly-held delusions is not pleasant.
Seeing my own overts and discharging the energies is the only way to no longer by "gamed" by others. Overts and motivators keep people stupidly in fixed interactions (i.e., compulsive gaming).

Now that I've done ethics on the First Dynamic I would never again choose a partner who does not have their First Dynamic in good shape (mental and physical health combined), and I would never again present myself on the Second Dynamic without perfect mental and physical health.

I now know what a pathological story-teller (liar) is - I'm wised up now, and I don't need to get caught up in someone else's importances, nor do I have to reject their importances - it's more a feeling of being detached from s'one else's importances.

They know what is important to me and they will play on that. I have been a chump - an easily deceived person. I've played both sides of that game and now I can walk away.

"When you try to be shiny people cannot see your inner light" - rough quote from Tao Te Ching
Seeing other's covert game strategies makes one smartened up, and seeing and clearing the charge out of one's own history of covert game strategies makes one cool, calm, and detached, and making cleaner postulates; however in the moment of re-living the past that is right in front of my face I feel like a criminal being forced to watch his crimes on the big screen.
If I were healthy and mentally competent and have or am developing a valuable skill, why would I need to prey on another?

New person very easy to work with and he had a good energy release. He is running the "To Handle" self-enquiry.
I studied a bit about cognitive therapy; and MK Ultra mind implantation techniques (covert game strategies)
Honestly not looking forward to these "To Handle" sessions and doing RI usually cures that and I can enter a sit with a positive attitude.
RE the next extended dryfast, I will clean the gut for 30 days with an herbal formula and continue on a fruit diet, eating less and less. The large watermelons should be in the store soon.
Have a renewed interest in Level Two - it still produces yawns (i.e., "change").
Habitually seeking sensation through interaction with another leads to much ups and downs on both sides. Feeling grateful.
Even though I've barely touched on my Second Dynamic case I'm already experiencing a new largeness and enlarged sense of responsibility and am grateful for the restimulators I've been experiencing. A huge chunk of  dhukka lies here like a vein of gold - to be discovered and extracted.
If one's path did not bring them to repeated realizations that they are crazy to the core (their mind) then I would question it.


Repair of Importances (self/another)
yawns
I simply take objects in the room and multiply them in six directions, which produces yawns; then I place object all around me. Simple objects - sometimes turned a different color - from the room seem to suffice and quantity is the key. Nothing fancy.



Timebreaking: To Handle : Grandfather
Timebreaking means the stopping of keeping to bring something forward into present; "that was then, this is now" is the result of timebreaking.
Timebreaking day's events:
yawns, energies dissipating;
"How have you handled your G'father?"
  • I finally told my mother (and a witness beside me)
  • With obvious disdain and disgust
  • staying out of arm's reach
  • I recall when I first set the handling in motion by trying to tell someone and then it took some time to finally move and leave him behind and I had to tell more than one person, but it finally got to my mother and she told my father.
  • Looking back on it I see how I could have been much more demanding and aggressive and insistent and communicative - how I could have better handled the situation.
  • I see how I chose avoidance instead, which might have been the right thing to do, but I'm still locking myself away and I probably need to revisit that decision.
  • The urge to do worse to him was there but I never acted on it except emotional expressions and thoughts.
  • I'm wondering why I didn't say to my parents, "Today I had to run and crawl under the bed and he started to reach under for me and I thought my heart was going to stop."?? Why the shutdown in communication? They didn't ask and I didn't tell.
  • No parent really knows how to address the spirit of the child and how to rear a child as a spirit. Even I don't know.
  • I'm seeing the bigger scope of cause and effect and my destructive purposes in the separation incident, so I do feel responsible for being here and ending up here at this level with this particular dhukka to finally come to grips with. It seems like a long time and also like not such a long time - like a moment in my existence. I feel both ways about it.
  • For all I know, in our past lives I may have forced myself upon him and set his dhukka down this perverted path - perhaps in my Edwardian life. Also, I'm sure I was not the only being in the separation incident who took offense.
  • It is still a mystery to me that I would, as the creator, think this was all okay. Did I know where all this would lead - to more and more degradation?
  • "How does G'father seem to you now?"   Bland, but on a larger scale I feel shame for the degradation of Life. I feel sorry for myself that I did this to myself.
  • The decision I see is, "I hate you" >< "I hate me" [Repeater Tech]; changes occurring - scenes of hating others
  • "I hate you" - everything and everyone without exception coming up and passing by; I'm feeling like the wicked witch who wasn't invited to the party; I'm wanting everything to disappear - like it used to in the old days; I'm hating the idea of persistence. Some good old fashioned tears.
  • The only person I feel like I can't hate is Dennis and that is because of the path he offered me that can cure all this suffering. I'm trying to find something to hate him for and I can't find anything. I'd have to make something up.
  • If only we could all agree to make all of this disappear. Then I would feel better about myself (my big toe would stop hurting kind of feeling)
  • Once I remove all charge from the basic postulated interactions then I am free.
  • "I hate you" was refreshingly honest vs always suppressing my hate and pretending to myself and others that I love them, etc. I feel something about hating lightened up...unsuppressed, so now I can deal with it. It flew out of the chute with some force and now it simply lies there, quiet, for easy examination. It feels so good to be able to be honest. I'm wondering why it was so important to hate everything forever and ever...until I got what I wanted or stopped getting what I didn't want.
  • I wanted everyone to play nice, to care, to be simple, patient, compassionate.
  • Suddenly I like the ants more (I've been mulling over what to do about the carpenter ants showing up); I see them as life. Best solution is to find some repelling scent and spray so they will go elsewhere.
"I hate me" (need to take an RI break)
9Apr. recheck "I hate you" for any further charge.
Even though I'm repeating this and people are passing by my vision, I'm seeing that I really love them, somewhere underneath the hate. "hating" is becoming a less generalized and more specific knowing of what I hate.
Becoming much lighter: "I hate _________ for .... umm, let's see what can I hate him for .... ?"   emoticon

OKAY, time to run the other flow, "I hate me". I'm almost in too good a mood, but let's see how it runs:
  • Sense the separation of the creator-self and the aspect that ended up on the other side of the "To Know" matrix, i.e., this universe.
  • I feel like there is a separation and at the same time there is not a separation - a very odd feeling.
  • It feels like a big joke I played on myself and I can only laugh about it. It seems like I can only hate if I say "you" - create a separation.
  • If I repeat, "I hate myself" instead of "I hate me", then I get that I hate what I became when I entered the universe, i.e., a "self"
  • Then I feel the separation from the creator of this matrix.
  • Continuing with "I hate me" and suddenly came into present time and yawned off some energies without any feeling of separation or that there are two of me.
  • nice big yawns
  • I hate me for having dhukka
  • Got the idea that it is a crime to hate me; yawns; holding to the idea that it is a crime for others to hate me; yawns; also a crime for others to hate themselves; yawns; hating me is related to craving junk foods; is related to being fixed around a body; yawns
  • I hate me when I use force or prevention/deprivation and covert game strategies; yawns
  • I hate me for being there and communicating when others don't invite me; yawns
  • I feel a hunger in my gut; I hate me that I don't fix all this - life in this universe; that I don't fix myself
  • This includes all the aspects of "me" too - all the other life-forms; I'm seeing them as me - everything I see in them that I see in me - the collective dhukka
  • I hate me for having a body - feels degrading/limiting
  • I hate me for making importances of the matter around me
  • for getting trapped in aesthetics: color and line and form
  • for trying to solve my problems by creating others, i.e., "not-selfs"
OKAY, seems flat for now and will re-check in next sit. Also continue with "To Handle" re G'father. Do some RI to finish off.

Repair of Importances (self/another)
lamp, watermelon, book,
Now that I start with putting the item in six directions, I have more certainty and attention on actually putting the item there and not in my head - not in my mind for my mind to process. It is now simply an exercise. After I put it in six directions I add more so that it is all around me, or I make one larger object and put it all around me holographically. Either way does the job.

Here is an example of me doing RI exercising command power over my mind:
I bring into existence a bowl of plump ripe green figs and put them first in front of me, then behind me, then above me and then below me, and finally all around me.  My mind tried to inerject a bologna and cheese sandwich and I noted it and kept putting the figs all around me. This is an opposite approach from what I used to do. Besides, the figs are healthier and taste good too... logic and critical analysis wins out over the mostly sensational mind. In fact, I made the figs even plumper and juicier and sweeter to outdo the bologna sandwich.

When I choose to put one large fig around me holographically I feel more "one" with it vs when I put a quantity of figs all around me 360-degrees. I lean towards the latter exercise.

I recently read that the bulk of the ape's diet when in his native environment is figs.

Weeding out emotional attachments to people: I realized that a large part of my dukkha is attachments to aesthetics and people, whereas with some other types it might be the compulsion to have aversions that they need to get relief from.  Attachments seem lke such a nice thing that I hardly think of them as dukkha and I realized the need to put more attention on that.  That realization came on the heels of dispelling life-long attachments in my interactions with others. The release of that attachment allows me to have love and compassion for another that I could not have  before. Relationships based almost solely on emotional needs being met and have many ups and downs, once resolved, have to find new and more logical reasons to be together or else they will each go off happily into their own orbits, like two ships crossing in the night.

About games, I had the realization I don't need to be a piece in someone else's game because I can be a Game Maker too; however I've sworn off all games and am busily vanishing the mind with all it's games importances.

Timebreaking: To Handle: G'father
"How have you handled your G'father?"
One particularly sticky incident
Several answers. and related incidents to timebreak and then I felt suddenly love and compassion and concern for his spiritual condition. What a surprise.
I realize I don't need to feel that I need someone to teach me anything in order to know about something . To put it another way, I know where to draw the line in terms of interaction, for example, watch a video, read a book, ask a question, without having to get personally involved with the person's dramas.


"How has your G'father handled you?"
He picked me up
He told me not to tell anyone
He smiled a lot - acted happy or cheerful
He used his thick ugly fingers with his scratchy nails to tickle my pussy; come to think of it I can only remember one time he did that and I allowed him and then immediately tried to tell my brother about it. Timebreaking that incident



NOTE: A must-not-be-known must-know in order to continue along with that postulate of must-not-be-known. For example, secret governments with their secret ways of knowing without you knowing they are knowing and without you knowing them. A must-not-be-known will invest much time and energy into knowing those whom he does not wish to be known by.

The mistake a must-not-be-known player makes is when he tries to convince a must-be-known (through ridicule or shame or blame or guilt) that they - along with them - must-not-be-known. We most likely will not want to know you if you use negative means or scare tactics to convince us to change our favorite postulate, just as we would make a mistake to try to use negative or aggressive persuasion to change your favorite postulate, sic, must-not-be-known. If one or the other or both can moderate their respective compulsions then they can employ more options for co-existence.

Level Five would directly address these two postulates aand their opposers. Otherwise, one might describe them as two ships crossing in the night, because a must-be-known would have plenty of other fish to fry and has no overt urge to-know because they are too busy working to be-known, and the must-not-be-known is okay to let the must-be-known have the spotlight, since he has an aversion to spotlights.... just don't drag him into it.

In fact, concerning Level Five, it might be a separate therapy to put attention on the most dramatized postulate and run that out first. Level Four could also address a singular prime postulate.

OR "How have you handled a (must-not-be-known'er)?" Insert each of the four basic postulates and run until flattened.

The most provacative postulate for my case-type would be people who embody "must-not-know". It would be therapeutic early on to bleed off the games compulsions between these two postulate types.

Gut de-toxing moving along and I feel it does improve my attitude. Intense fear seems to originate in the gut area. Keeping in two sessions per day - a.m. and p.m. No plans for the future. Mother, as of lately, appears much more calm and sane and I'm happy for her. She keeps me grounded.

RE the dynamics, this is a construct that exists only in games, and to that extent it is valid, just as the scale of sensations is valid, and the scale of goals packages.

In the "Know to Mystery" Scale, at the top is the Nirvanic State and right below that is "Not Know". Someone like E. Tolle resides just below the Nirvanic State in "Not Know", which is complementary with one of the postulates that keeps this universe life separate from the Creator. One can have a very peaceful this-universe life by agreeing to not know.

I was finally able to turn my life away from destruction when I decided to find out about the mind. What is the mind? was the answer I sought, and right on the heels of that, how to resolve it.... my mind first. Twice daily looking at the incessant drama of my past is enough to make anyone long for a cool quiet cave and a comfortable cushion. All games are futile and one should know when to withdraw while everyone is still in good shape, especially oneself.

Still timebreaking a sticking incident and getting through it.
Ended off feeling better than before I started.




 NOTES: Each postulate type creates futures that fit in with its preferred overt/motivator sequence. This is demonstrated in the Level Five chart as receipt and originator. Each postulate type needs others to motivate an overt. Game strategies are overts. Each more or less fixed postulate type has its fixed game strategies (overts).

Motivator: Very sensitive to deprivation and will see it or seek it (unconsciously perhaps) in others; very low tolerance at best.
Overt: Revelation

There's nothing left to cling to except my practice, although I haven't entirely given up trying for substitutes to quiet the mind. Denying oneself one's favorite compulsion - one's favorite overt/motivator loop - t'ain't easy.

21Apr16 Toward Vanishing the Mind
Clearing partner seems all cleared up now and back on track and tonight, after intensive looking into my dukkha, he met with me and steered me where to look into the past. Through a series of questions, my looking and reporting what I saw, felt, thought, etc., we ended with laughter and feeling quite mellow. I made certain to top off with Repair of Importances. This time I walked around the room, asking myself, "What could you have?" while touching each item and saying what I could have about it. Yawns and discharge and mind settled .... until next session. Still clearing out past incidents with Mum and Dad. At the end I did come to a realization that I structured my own case, and I got the idea of a shiny and hard many pointed rock-like object. Partner drew a diagram that looked like two intertwined dna strands to represent the interchange between the four basic "To Know" postulates.

It seems like a long trek to learn my lesson re covert game strategies, and I'm wiser and more wary. They go against my philosophy of simplicity-patience-compassion.  Even though I might think what I'm doing is perfectly OKAY, if others strongly disagree then we aren't going to have a good time.

Using this method of relieving one of the past requires that one first interiorize into the mind/universe in order to exteriorize and see a bigger picture of Cause and Effect.


Maha Saccaka Sutta: The Longer Discourse to Saccaka
"When the mind was thus concentrated, purified, bright, unblemished, rid of defilement, pliant, malleable, steady, & attained to imperturbability, I directed it to the knowledge of recollecting my past lives. I recollected my manifold past lives, i.e., one birth, two...five, ten...fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand, many eons of cosmic contraction, many eons of cosmic expansion, many eons of cosmic contraction & expansion: 'There I had such a name, belonged to such a clan, had such an appearance. Such was my food, such my experience of pleasure & pain, such the end of my life. Passing away from that state, I re-arose there. There too I had such a name, belonged to such a clan, had such an appearance. Such was my food, such my experience of pleasure & pain, such the end of my life. Passing away from that state, I re-arose here.' Thus I remembered my manifold past lives in their modes & details."

Second session dealing with pre-natal incident and clearing partner had some astute self-enquiry suggestions which helped me to decide what about the past was more important than the present and it got narrowed down to issues about mothers. I then put images of mothers around me, and then I put an image of my mother facing an image of herself and she transformed into being just herself without all the dukkha of motherdom.

OKAY, so before the session I started to gel the idea that my current case is quite hung up about mothers - a junior universe of mothers committing overts and me as a mother committing overts, etc.   So now I know where to next direct my self-enquiry and looking and timebreaking, putting away the importances of the past.

Then, after the session, we had a heated discussion and now we don't want to talk with each other for several days I suppose, although he did bring up a good idea that right after a confusion the best thing to do is to handle the confusion and clean up any charge and decisions that might get fixed to permanently downgrade ourselves and how we relate with each other. It's late and I can do that tomorrow.

Good session and eagerly looking forward to cleaning up the sub-universe of "Mother", and I feel it already started with tonight's session.

During the session, towards the end I did a type of RI, which is written into this particular procedure.

Clearing partner helped me continue to resolve the past incident with Mum and Dad. There was some good emotional and somatic release and we ended with a long span of Repeater Tech of "I hate my life". The unusual thing that happened while repeating the phrase was that I started being my mother repeating that phrase and I saw her life scenes all the way up to the end of her life when she finally got the lifestyle she wanted. The session ended shortly after
Clearing partner originated he was "The Wanderer" AKA Odin, and that his purpose that lifetime was to collect manuscripts that held knowledge of the mind and the spirit. He is still doing that.

I'm very grateful G'father purchased the whole Golden Encyclopedia set. I devoured every page of those thin volumes. I'm starting to think he wasn't all bad - maybe? Maybe I could feel sorry for him.

Learning to navigate through the complexities of game strategies.
There is a three-point relationship between simplicity>patience>compassion. They rely on each other.
The problem with game strategies is that they are fixed solutions that continue to be engaged because they always worked before.
Ninety-nine percent (99%) of game strategies are analytically formulated through observances and interactions in childhood, although they may not be put into play until later in life. The person can become unaware of employing a game strategy and needs to have it exposed to themself first of all and this is best done in their own solo session.
The "To Handle" technique straight up is possibly too tough unless modified, or unless done solo. When I'm being there helping someone run the self-enquiry I modify the processwith emphasis on running a stuck incident and using Repeater Technique.
     
Little did I realise how much I have always assigned select others as my “Source” and my “parent”, because I am carrying past incidents - esp. from my childhood - that I have yet to resolve. The incidents where I hadn’t felt safely loved, accepted and validated by my parents and have yet to take full responsibility for. The times I decided to “look outside” to try to feel whole again. Once I resolve these pasts with Source Truth I become a source to myself … and it is then that the urges, pulls and addictions will leave me. Even if I lived by myself I would still find something to quiet the mental discomfort caused by unnecessarily engaging with the past. Only by bringing up and re-visiting the past with a thorough look at the postulates, and discharging the energetic aversions and attachments - no longer creating obsessive importances, either consciously or unconsciously - that is the nirvanic path.

29Apr - my client is very happy with his session results and I do believe the key is looking at the before > the confusion > the after separately ... AND NEXT - in the shift/confusion - finding the predominant postulate or decision. Then the client takes that statement and repeats it continuously as long as change is occurring (thoughts, emotions, scenes). Once there is no more charge or change client feels lighter, relieved, happier. In this session the client found that the postulate was made clean and true and unsuppressed. I love it that I hardly need to say a word and the client intuitively runs the session.

The hardest thing for someone to do regarding dukkha is to peer into the frozen time within the confusion, wherein the postulate is made. Thus most clients are very grateful that someone asks them to take a look at that suspended time within the confusion and unfix any postulates made there.

Of course a person follows their own fixed interests re sensations. For example if one is mostly interested in experiencing sexual sensations then that is the "To Sex" postulate that will get freed up and he will experience more freedoms and good judgements and less suppression. He will better manage living in a society that has some ideas about sex'ing. Running clear all four legs of the "To Sex" postulate in a therapy separate from TROM therapy would be very beneficial for that person.

In my case I find I am mostly - at the root - cleaning up compulsions to experience or to suppress experiencing aesthetic sensations, which would be the "To Create" postulate.

Clearing partner assisted me tonight and I cleared out a compulsion to fill empty spaces, and a game strategy re impinging with aesthetics. The original intent of the session was to handle a somatic pain/fear by sourcing it back to childhood, which I did. A lot of charge came off while I was doing the Six Directions process. Incident with babysitter's husband sat rather heavy on me, but not as significant as it used to be. Towards the end of the session I saw how I was motivator hungry and wanted the sensation that comes from committing the overt and overwhelming another... I could feed off of their pain/fear instead of them feeding off of mine.
How much am I dramatizing the things I don't remember?

1-3May16 Toward Vanishing the Mind
The more one is willing to know something the more one can observe its postulate constituents, and that would lead to vanishment of the [fixed] importance of the postulates themselves, and self-mastery of postulated creation.
  • The compulsive "To Know" type craves sensational/sensual effects and so would not allow himself to be known to himself as the creator, much less to knowing his postulates, and must have the "other" produce those effects - to be known by him.
  • The "To Not Be Known" type plays at not giving - or making known - of effects (i.e. sensations) and prefers to play the take-away game. In a compulsive state this type must have "others" - to know and prevent their postulates for sensation, and never a complete "as-is'ing" because that would end the game of taking away others' games.
  • The "To Be Known" type, at his most compulsive seeks to enforce his postulated creations/effects upon "others" and likes to be the gregarious aggressor with the appearance of having the bigger, more bad weapons of mass destruction.... the overt blustering bully. Size matters, etc. and he succeeds through force in creating more "must-be-known" types (through "conversion").
  • The "To Not Know" type plays at rejecting any overt attempt to create an effect by the overt "must-be-known" type. Compulsively this type pipes up on the forums and threads habitually to denounce or reject a person or thing, and must make himself known for that purpose only.
  • To not-be-known and to-not-know complement each other.
  • The games of all these types can range from voluntary playfulness and amusement, and further south into non-life goals, winning becoming more important than the "opposer" as a brother or sister with whom one is simply playing a game.
  • You can tell a game has gone south when vengeance and shame and blame and guilt and ridicule are employed as fixed mechanisms, and when the life-goals packages become non-life goals packages.
If only we knew ....  emoticon

FOR EXAMPLE: I gave my must-be-known mum a must-not-know postulate re some data she was giving me about someone in the news, and she found that provoking, took it personally by reason of the vociferousness of my rejection of the data she presented, and she reacted with a negative generalized statement about how I ("always") interact with her. That was not a win/win situation.
If I could have been voluntarily willing to know the effect she wanted to create by presenting the data, then I would not have provoked her into a games condition with me. I'm still having a hard time understanding why such a topic would interest her so much that she presented it to me with such relish - totally out of character for her. She did collect another motivator (perceived rejection via rejecting her presentation of the data) to justify the mind's wontonness for sensation through infliction - and it does feel good, at least at the moment before people gang up on you and make you wrong for it. Motivator-hungry people will collect the memory of these aversions/game loss like precious gems.

I could then respond likewise and make a decision to reinforce my must-not-know and stand firm and reject any subsequent data considered to be the product of unsavory or questionable games afoot... games replete with covert game strategies to fool the masses. Winning with that postulate becomes more important than her as life. The game will become: the more she seeks to inflict spurious people data the more vociferous (and personal) I will become in my rejection, which I know she - as a must-be-knowner - hates, and winning always feels good (at least in the moment).  I guess this is one way family feuds develop.
The good thing is that she got me to look at a hot games condition I am in with another group related to the data she brought up.

I find that sometimes it helps to talk about it out loud to myself about what I'm perceiving.

Saturday July 23 2016 Toward Vanishing the Mind

The "To Handle" process seems to have run its course. Perhaps it is because most of the covert game strategies were with Mother and Father interactions, which makes every other interaction pale in comparison - flat. Plus it opened the door for me to more freely bring game strategies to the surface for viewing. I know now I won't die :-)

The Repair of Importance activity has straightened out, and I can count on it to de-stress me and bring back access to some creative and analytic ability, keeping to my proper importances. Since the universe is life and postulates, and life can bring things into existence and take things out of existence, the creative action embodied in this exercise returns the being to his first and most simple game - the Surprise Game.

According to Dennis, your case is in fairly good shape if you can mock up a box and postulate that when you open the lid you will find a surprise. If you can play this game with yourself then you haven't been beaten so badly in life's games. When I get up a bit more courage I will take a chance and find out for myself.

I now take my sitting on a cushion sans laptop - replaced with a steno pad. Most of my session time is devoted to the creative exercise of RI - bringing things into existence and 360'ing them around me spherical, with mostly good results now.

My clearing partner has been busy with his own self-development and has made much case change that is clearing the path for him to devote more time and thought to development of a more definitive clearing technology in both its application for practice and explanation to readers. I am fortunate that I make a good guinea pig because I also notice I am contacting more quickly and surely the main postulates in an incident - that time-stop or timelessness - that pulsing back and forth between "must" and "must not" and the resultant drop into the identity that resolves the incident at that time. This new method quickly unsticks one from that sub rosa goal. The more basic the postulate(s) the more case that falls away. For example I ran off the negative goals of "To Help".

The person I had worked with for years, seemingly fruitlessly, responded very quickly with the use of this new clearing tech. He now feels he has resolved what he wanted to resolve and asked to take a break and explore the renewed being. I personally notice he is much more expanded in his options regarding the junior goals package he wanted to address... much lighter, and he now can mock up the sensation of that junior goals package himself without need for a via, if he so chooses.  However that does sort of take the almost compulsive excitement out of games, doesn't it? Why, if you can just sit in your room and mock up the aesthetic sensation of the sun setting over an ocean - who needs to go to the ocean?  Earn the money, count the days, buy the clothes, buy the ticket, pack, board the plane .... stay at home and feel every warm grain of sand and feel the sun and see the sunlight - as many times as you wish, as many ways as you wish. The more one practices, the better one gets at this. Of course - don't let me take this away from you - every option exists, including actually boarding a plane to get there; although you can imagine that in great depth too, and place it all around you 3D. One needs to be in good enough case shape to not need to have surprises manufactured for him - he can play with himself and manufacture his own (nice) surprises.

Isn't it interesting how when one brings things into existence in this way there is no need for time - relatively speaking? The instant you decide to put an object or scene around you, it is around you ... and it only gets better with practice.

You start to get different and more objective viewpoints of games debris... chi ... -- it's not the only way to bring things into existence. You can play games with yourself and you can bring others into existence to play with you and you can practice getting into others' viewpoints, putting their creations all around you. We should all learn this in kindergarten :-)

Case-wise, using this new clearing tech that is under development and testing I have cleared out some life-long issues regarding aesthetics ... all suppressed of course ... all sub rosa. I uncovered and discharged some other non-life postulates that were also suppressed (that was a good thing) until I could feel safe to air them out and disengage them. It seems that no stone goes unturned with this lengthy and thorough process. However, I still feel that the attachments and aversions concerning aesthetic sensations (To Create) is a major case issue and limiter and it will undoubtedly come up again for review until it is completely a non-issue. It seems to be the "holder" in every incident and is the last aspect of an incident to come to view because so much has been piled on top of it as the games degraded.

Level Two of TROM is excellent for nulling aesthetic charge in the mind concerning objects and people.
Sometimes when I do my RI activity I realize a lot of my attraction or assignment of importance to a thing has to do with its color(s). Sometimes I simply bring colors into existence and put them all around me - colors and lights of different hues, etc. Isn't this how it all started? Well, almost :-))

I am enjoying being complementary with my de-toxing and frugivore lifestyle Facebook groups and the permaculture.

I occasionally, and not often enough, devote to re-reading TROM manual in light of the bridging technology we postulate will help those who follow the TROM path.  It has been noted by a commentor of TROM that new people like to "Itsa" - tell the story, give importance to the story of the incident and Level Two is none of that ... is quite sterile in that respect.

If half of the population is Must Know and Must be Known ... I suspect they really want to talk about it ... "Itsa" out loud to somebody about it... this is what seems to make the world go round. This group - of which I am a good representative - can benefit from an out loud and detailed self-enquiring clearing tech that at the same time cuts through a lot of need for endless Itsa and straight for the postulate(s) made during the time-stop. Since they never saw it before and no one ever asked them and they never asked themselves about it they are understandabley surprised and very appreciative that they were guided to look into this area of the incident.

I intend to DIY this self-enquiring technique, addressing the basic goals package in some way that I used it this lifetime - how I worded it to myself this lifetime ... how I saw it as a "problem".

So, in sum, I am still too busy in mind and too busy in practice taking apart my own case to really be of much use as a game player .... perhaps a piece in someone's game that I can agree with in their moments of sanity. I do enjoy mocking up my own planet, my own biosphere, my own societies, and I sometimes practice some pan-determinism, getting into the other's viewpoint and changing my mind from that viewpoint. I honestly don't know what good it does except that it feels good for me to do it.

I am pursuing my own high goal on the group dynamic of assisting another through their own clearing of mind.... someone I failed with in the past and now am seeing some release for that person.

I do have more moments of compassion for the psychotics with too much technology who play covert and unimaginably degraded and degrading games on the people of this planet. I imagine that in the future I will go somewhere to learn the CCHs and learn how to deliver them to psychotic people. While everyone around me rants and rails, creating more separation and justification; and the bible says, "resist not evil ..." . I have long resisted the evil in my own suppressed and hung-up thoughts and find release now through these self-enquiry techniques.

I adopted a wellness routine of cycling through extended dryfasting and rebuilding on fruits and then another extended dryfast. This works for me except for lack of access to truly ripened and organic fruits and berries ... feeling boxed in with no options regarding it ... needs to get resolved. I thought I could resolve the deprivation imposed on me by ascending to breatharian, and I did reach a point where I realized that as a potential and at the same time I realized my mind is not yet ready, and I had too much attention on de-toxing first. I believe with this new health routine I will gradiently move the body and the mind in tandem into something very close to breatharian. My aesthetic/create case makes a lot of importance with foods ... I'm sure I was once an alchemist; add pampered princess and queen dowager and self-indulgent emperor to that and it's all here and now too :-)

I am very greatful to have discovered the dryfast and as a result gotten into a more loving communion with the body intelligence, trusting more the body intelligence... going more complementary with it instead of abusing it purely for sensation and making it sick and miserable. This body intelligence recognition extends out to its mother, the biosphere. I can finally walk away from these sorts of games free and clear or play them as I wish.  One ends a game condition by being able to be complementary - no more resistance and no more compulsive need to interact.

My first dryfast began after I got my kidneys filtering, and it went on for 13 days - 13 days of happy communion with the body which purred like a kitten while in its autophagic mode. I did not bathe nor touch water for 13 days and on the 13th day I gave in. I finally stopped pee'ing and my mouth was very very sticky and uncomfortable and the body was beginning to address the nervous system which felt very jangly, and the body took about a week to de-tox the nitrous oxide I had during childhood dental surgeries. I laughed a lot during that phase. I am cycling back into another extended dryfast on 1 August.

The great thing about self-enquiring clearing techniques is that there is always a surprise awaiting one, and it can be a lot of fun once one gets clear of the pulsating charge associated with hung up postulates.  Dennis calls them "Insanity Points" or "Impossibility Points".

Never forget: you are simply Life, and you are undoubtedly hanging onto a lot of postulates you made in the past. Your first game you played with yourself was The Surprise Game.
