Topic: Advice for Persistent Masses

Sent: 1:29 AM - 10/1 2000

Additional advice for using PMs:

1. Do the Source List BEFORE doing PMs.If you can experience yourself as source, totally discreating PMs will be so much easier.

2. Do the Excersise "It s ok to feel this way" too.

3.When you sit down to do your PM notice the difference between an overal appreciative, curious and interested attitude and a serious attitude.Gain some gentle appreciation before diving into the PM.

4.Instead of asking "Where does it seem come from?" you might want to try out this Variation: Command "Where is it from"...then let your attention drift wherever it wants to take you...sometimes just lying there waiting will eventually do the job.

5.Taking your Persistent Mass to sleep with you can also be effective.After asking "Where is it from?" you let yourself drift to sleep...sometimes dreams or nightmares will arise...experience them fully.

Tinno: Our group also paired off into duos. We asked eachother the Grok Drill questions and experienced them. Group members experienced a sense of nonseperateness and group mind also. Not only did people experience being fused with their partners, we experienced being fused with the rooms in which we performed the exercise. People were definately on the same wavelength after even the third drill. This was a very peculiar experience for many except those who were vets of group Holotropic Breathworks. They reported similar group mind experiences, but they did not believe it was as intense as the Emoclear group mind. Partners appeared to know eachother's thoughts and feelings. And when we got together as a group, we reported

this going on in the large group as well. And like you reported in your group, people were just clearing on anything that opened up after awhile.

Yeah, but ;-) ...by now you only have two in need of attention: (1. The thought that there are too many, etc. and you'll never get through them. (2. Whatever primary it was that brought up that thought.

At this point, I would have the student note both of them (maybe write them down), and then take a break to relax, and maybe do some Feel-It's before working on one of them again. You don't need a cleaver to peel an onion.

Eternal Dog, The Pilot's Self-Clearing book is really solid old school tech. I've gone through it twice in over a 4 month period. There's some outstanding tech there. Steve clued me in about it awhile back. They have drills in there that will show you how to exteriorize. There's a practical viewing section. It's old school tech written up without the jargon. It moves at a gradient. It's for "home schoolers" and it's fun to do. It's free and so are a lot of other Scientolo type materials. I like the Pilot's Self-Clearing book the best because of its readability and doability. The exercises really peel back your awareness. There was one where you go around the room doing an exercise. It really opens up your awareness about how the room used to be. That and exteriorization were some of my favorites. It's best to do that book chapter by chapter and section by section. I understand a lot of this stuff was actually early scientolo, but got yanked because people were going clear to fast. The Pilot's a pretty decent sort friends tell me.

You can always do a "could I let this go?" on your problem (feelings or wants). If it works, great. If not (at least the problem area has been identified), you can go on to Emoclear- the industrial strength clearing method.

TM,

Back off, relax when needed. You can get into a trance by repeatedly pounding on a secondary, and that is not what the exercise is for. If source list gets heavy or serious, find humorous ways to exaggerate the secondaries. Exaggeration does not mean piling more seriousness on top of an already existing resistance. Comedians are great role models for exaggeration - think Eddie Murphy, or Robin Williams. These guys can take a simple personality trait or a single repeated idea, and build it to the point of being hilarious. That's the art of Source Listing. It's not a heavy exercise. The Avatar materials explicitly state to lighten up and laugh a lot when doing the exercise. -Y

re: Feel-it visitor 7:42 am tuesday september 19, 2000

Eldon, thanks for that answer. You seem to have the gift of being able to answer a question at the level the person asking is at. That's a very powerful gift. Perhaps you can answer just a couple of other questions for me? The first is, how important do you feel resurfacing is to the avatar course? And secondly, how important is the source and creation lists? If they are important, how do you do the exaggeration thing? It seems that what i think of exaggerating is somewhat different than avatars definition. Thanks Eldon.

re: Feel-it Yogi 7:49 am tuesday september 19, 2000 Visitor,

The "small child" viewpoint Eldon mentions is very useful. I once

asked a small child to look at a few things and how they felt to

him. I gave no explanation of technique, no theory, nothing.

Just "Look at that, how does it feel?" The child started

describing textures and physical sensations to me. He was

receiving sense experiences from putting his attention on an

object. That's a feel-it. It's natural, its what kids do before

their heads get stuffed with labels from our cultural

conditioning. Hope this helps,

Yogi

re: Feel-it Jenna Burweiser 10:00 am tuesday september 19, 2000 Everyone:

I wrote down Teko's initial breakdown of the feel-it out and then

added on key pointers from the rest of you. This feel-it is not

very easy work to get at all. In fact it's extremely difficult.

I read where other posters find the feel-it difficult. It's good

to have all these knowledgable people around explaining the feel-

it. I've done two feel-it and it's interesting. I've never

been a brick before! Am I correct in assuming that somehow this

is supposed to help you feel things so you can be more into the

discreation mode? I've always been a good feeler and visualizer.

Hey are we going to learn the whole course here by people

explaining it? So far it feels with all you guys explaining that

I am taking a course. Is this legal? Can people explain Avatar?

I thought it was some secret course. I don't mean to rain on

anyone's parade, but it seems as if you are delivering these

secret materials. Am I wrong? Maybe you are doing it legally?

Love, Jenna Burweiser

 

 

re: Feel-it Eldon Braun 10:28 am tuesday september 19, 2000 Jenna,

We are talking about it. Don't you think that's legal?

As for your question, the feel-it and label-it exercises are

supposed to open the doors of perception, or put you in control of

your own mental "filters" by consciously using them.

Look at your computer, and try to get a pure sense of what it is.

Then get the idea that it's a gift from God, and a wonderfully

benign machine. Then decide to think it's the work of the devil

that's going to crash on you at the worse part of the time because

it's inhabited by an evil spirit. Then label it "just as it is,"

meaning that you see it without stuffing thoughts and opinions on

your perception.

That is what you do with thought forms all the time, and yes, this

is practice for discreating them on the Avatar Course.

Best, Eldon

re: Feel-it William Tekada 3:45 pm tuesday september 19, 2000 For Everyone wanting to improve their feel-its and label-its

work,Steve emailed me awile ago about utilizing simple energy

work to help visualizing. This would apply to feel-its.

Always allow your visualizations to happen and take the two

fingers next to your thumb and place them on the area half way

down from the split between your ring and pinkey finger. This is

the gamut spot used in TFT and EFT. Just keep those fingers

there for thirty slow in inhales and exhales. This area is about

halfway down the top of your hand. This tends to intesify

visualization and would be very useful before becoming a tree or

a box. Enjoy boxhood!

Feel it on belief Eldon? visitor 2:29 am wednesday september 20, 2000

How do you feel a belief? I am finally able to do a feel it on an inanimate object and i have also done one on an animal but i'm not sure i understand how to on an abstract thing like a belief?

re: Feel it on belief Eldon? Eldon Braun 2:33 am wednesday september 20, 2000 Visitor,

We will get to that later when you are able to easily feel people

and pick up their vibes with no effort. In the meantime, I suggest

that you go back to inanimate objects and do a few of those, and

work your way up through plants and animals. Just sort of follow

the Darwin path on this one.

re: Feel it on belief Eldon? Teko 9:23 am wednesday september 20, 2000 How do you feel a belief?

Remember this:

Steve brought this to my attention. Feelings are made up of

awareness. They exist in our awareness. They are the energy of

awareness. Beliefs are made up of awareness. Beliefs exist in

our awareness. They are the energy of our awareness.

All sensations. All feelings. All Beliefs. They are all apart

of the label awareness. There is absolutely no difference between

a belief and a feeling. Only a belief made of awareness

separates them. A believed description. The sky. the moon. hot

and cold. All awareness.

Don't even bother to call it awareness or energy. BAAAAM!

CRAAACK! You'll get it.

Allow your awareness to feel a belief.

Do Mensing's koan wpp practice. You'll never look at these

piddling notions the same way. Does a belief exist in a feeling

or does a feeling exist in a belief.

Take the cap off the frigging mind--it's just a silly projection.

There is no mind. This is notek and that sonofagun Mensing hid

that Notek square in the middle of the that practice. I found

out the other evening. There is no mind. There are no beliefs.

There are no feelings. And there is not even is. There is

nothing to create. You run it over and over until the loop

snaps.

Right now you are reading this off a computer? Right? Wrong!

I'm not joking.

Come to know that nothing separates a belief from a feeling.

They are just other viewpoints of the same stuff. You'll get it.

Just allow it to happen.

Teko

 

re: Feel it on belief Eldon? Teko 9:35 am wednesday september 20, 2000 Added to my previous comments on feeling beliefs:

We note beliefs and feelings as separate. They are only

separated by where our awareness is looking. The rabbit steps

out of his hole and looks around for a carrot. He plucks one.

He believes it would feel good to eat. He feels the belief that

it would be good to eat. Where was the rabbit giving his

awareness?

If I'm not clear pull Steve into this. He doesn't know about

Avatar, but he could assist you in feeling a belief. Be prepared

however for him asking you a bunch of questions so he knows how

your individual processing works.

Teko

re: Feel it on belief Eldon? Eldon Braun 2:53 pm thursday september 21, 2000 Teko,

Absolutely right. But I do note a frequent difference between the

way people perceive feelings and beliefs. A feeling is more like

pure sensation. A belief, or an opinion, is usually a verbalized

feeling. It has some conceptual stuff embedded within it that makes

you think about it. So you may find yourself trying to articulate

it into words or some other form of expression. That is a remote

way to get the essence of feelings.

Music and many other art forms are more universal than words. They

transcend the language barrier.

Feel it on belief Eldon? Fred Baldwin 3:56 am wednesday september 20, 2000

I took avatar in 95 and i have to admit that although i did pretty good with the feel it technique on inanimate and animate objects i also had a problem grasping the feel it on thoughts and beliefs. Can you shed any light on this Eldon?

re: Feel it on belief Eldon? Eldon Braun 9:57 am thursday september 21, 2000

Gosh, I dunno if I can shed any light on doing feel-it's on beliefs or not, because it always came easy to me. For one thing, if you really do feel-its on a person, you are probably going to sense some of their beliefs. Maybe telepathically, or maybe just from their overall demeanor. It doesn't matter anyway. All you are doing is trying to get a sense of how it feels to be someone else, or to hold various beliefs or feelings. You might try imagining a nice little thought form hovering somewhere nearby that telepathically transmits a belief you already have. It's a transmitter that beams that belief into the skull of anyone who comes near...and zap! They think your boss is a schmuck. Or whatever you want to use. So this little sucker just intensifies and confirms a belief you already have. Now try changing the message a little. The boss is sometimes a schmuck, and then with extenuating circumstances. Or whatever. Then try shifting it again. The boss is nice at heart, but frazzled. And so forth. All you are trying to do here is get a feeling for adopting various thoughts, opinions and beliefs. Again, it's play- acting, and you shouldn't take it too seriously. Or what if you were an actor in a play? Except that each night you switch characters, alternating between two archenemies. Conflicting opinions are expressed on this board. Try grokking how it feels to be on both sides of the controversy. Switch back and forth several times. Don't rationalize, just do it. Invent some routines that get you into it and use your imagination. Then I think you will be able to slide into the "pure" abstract form of the exercise. That's the best advice I can think of on the spur of the moment. I believe that is a good excuse. Best, Eldon

The Tibetan Feel-It Teko the Tibetan 4:54 pm thursday september 21, 2000

Friends and secret Tibetans: Here the ancient Tibetan Feel-it as articulated by Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche in Hidden Mind of Freedom. 1) Relax and choose an object. Bird. Rock. Fellow Human. Idea. Feeling. Music box anything you want! 2)Keeping your eyes open, visualize an object several feet before you or at eye leve. 3) Allow yourself without strain or force to view the image distinctly. If the image is unclear or it fades in and out, pay attention to the feeling created by the image, rather than the form. 4)Permit your unconscious to have the sense of the object's presence as intense as possible. Know truly that the object is there. You are feeling it. 5) As you directly touch or feel this knowing feeling, your whole body grows into a full state of relaxation. There is no longer an impression of a specific expance. You are completely surroundeed by awareness. In this feeling state you are the object. Feeling the object in this way is the start of viewing it clearly and well defined. Be a brick. Be a cloud. Be a belief. Be a human. Eventually the image will emerge as clear and vibrant. Suggest you use Mensing's add on of slow left nostril breathing and gamut spot tapping. The Tarthang Tulku original Feel-it gives great results. Teko

Feel-it xmaster 2:54 pm saturday september 23, 2000

I heard about this board recently and decided to check it out. Mensing's tech is great and the explanations are way beyond the level most masters go to in explaining the avatar processes. This is only one of the reasons i left. I have read the posts on feel-its and label-its and would like to add a few comments. Here is how i see a feel-it: Feel-its are designed to bring a person back into a FEELING awareness. Most of us tend to spend most of our time labeling, analyzing and/or judging things instead of just feeling them. For example, say I am looking at a folding chair that has been left outside to the elements. To FEEL something is to experience it on a physical level. BUT... my first reaction on looking at that chair, depending on my own beliefs with regard to things, may go something like this: Oh, look at that folding chair. Someone left it out and now it is all rusted and ruined. *I* certainly wouldn't want to sit in that chair, it would get rust all over my clothes and probably flake paint onto them and maybe even snag the fabric. That chair looks like it wouldn't support my weight anyway. I wonder who left it outside? And how UGLY - it's just a piece of junk now, they should get rid of it. Now is ANY of that about FEELING that chair? For that matter, the simple action of labeling it "chair" keeps us from FEELING it. To FEEL something is to experience it. To experience its texture, its mass, its shape without any labeling or analysis. If you look back at the previous paragraph, it is ALL about analysis, judgement, and labeling. I will try to give you a sense of it. Select an object - obviously, pick something out. Define it - "see" where its edges are, texture, weight, mass, density etc... Identify with and experience it... FEEL it - without analysis, labeling, or judgement. (Just Release all of those things - don't go in with an attitude of "I'm NOT going to judge or label this", because then where is all of your attention? On judging and labeling, of course!) Imagine running your fingers lightly across a piece of rough sandpaper with your eyes closed. You might experience it for just a moment, but more than likely you will then immediately go, "okay - this is rough, gritty, feels like sand"... At that instant, you have stopped feeling and started labeling - essentially gone from the physical experience into thinking. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Donna B.

re: Feel-it Richard Head 3:46 pm sunday september 24, 2000

Hello Donna The subject of feel its has been well aired below and I'm sure that what you have said meets the general approach to feel its, no judgements, no associations and no labels. In other words you have to be an avatar to start with. But I'm not so sure when it comes to labelling things. When you look at things you know what they are, you dont say the words, chair phone or whatever. Therefore knowing is a form of labelling. It then follows, in order to do feel its you have to not know what you are looking at. This ofcourse is silly and graduates know full well what they have been doing feel its on. Again when you come to the labelling excercise you know what the thing you're looking at is and putting a word on it should make no difference at all. Yet students will say "Oh!I cant feel it now". Well all I can say is that thier words must be pretty powerful, I wish mine were. It all seems a bit daft. I should say that I didn't get on with the avatar excercises and did not complete. I thought the course was a bit of a joke and flouted intelligence

This scroll and the endless chain of scrolls it's connected to lead straight away to the divine spirit. The Steve tech up top and the interesting techs below lead straight away to a domain that's mostly outside our general awareness.

Few people can begin to imagine what's in store for them when they learn and fully experience a tech. I urge everyone here to experiment and learn firsthand about what's inside them and how powerful and rapid change are available. No one believes these techs until after they've done them. 20 years ago if someone told me about Emoclear, Core Transformation, or Avatar I would have thought they were stark raving nuts. There's still a lot of persons out there who have no conception of a major emotional problem being blown out permanently within ten minutes or less.

Or that your doubts and blocks can be altered into states of utter resourcefulness.

Steve if you are reading this could you soon share some of your creation technologies outside of the transformational

resources that are left behind from clearing in the Emoclear style. I know you developed in the mid nineties a creation method drawing on the 5 senses, NLP submodalities,

Left nasal dominance breathing, a specific pattern of tapping and temporal tapping, and energetically snuffing out blocks and doubts. The end result is a gut level creation rooted in a holographic and compeling dreamstate that makes it feel as if you had already accomplished what you merely created. I read that you will likely have Barry post some short version clearing methods. But I hope after that you spill some of your over the top creation methods.

Hey Lyle:

I have an outline of Steve's "Dreamstate Creation" tech.

It sounds like the process you're talking about. I've worked with it and the end result is you've installed an ultra vivid dream of something you want. It's got odd tapping sequences, Left nasal dominance, Ericksonian style questions that get it installed in your unconscious. It's complex, but it's easy to follow. It's starts out with vivid goal creation and then winds up getting put together in a dream in your unconscious. Depending how you tweek up the submodalities rundown, that dreamstate creation can be very powerful and compeling. Afterwards you're not only confident, it feels like you've already accomplished it a bunch of times before. Secondaries are blown out by any of his clearing tech. The end result is a strong emotional sense that you can do something. Not only do something, you flat out own it! Steve I hope you drop this one on the page soon.

Everyone:

Steve has given me the go ahead to post some brief Emoclear clearing processes and his Dreamstate Creation Process. This will be done sometime before next Monday.

In the intrim I'm going to post another of his highly unusual called the "Multi-Solutions Generator". This process is based on the work of Milton Erickson and Solutions-Oriented Therapy. Steve has creatively put together a six session problem solving process that when combined with any of his transformational clearing tech can send a problem realing. This tech forces our minds to look at challenges in a completely unique way. This can be used on relationships, internet warfare, challenges with kids, anything you might deem a problem. The solutions-oriented approach is welded to Ericksonian language structures and gets your unconscious to do the work and provide answers that fit your particular style of doing things. I used this on a conflict I was having with a girlfriend and it brought us much closer together and resolved the conflict.

I used it on a challenge with one of my profs in graduate school and it worked like a champ. Combined with Clearing tech the Multi-Solutions Generator is an extremely powerful problem solver. Steve Mensing demonstrates here that he is quite versitile in the kinds of tech he can produce. Emoclear isn't the only stuff he does.

Anyway I'm going to post it now.

This material was copyrighted by Steve Mensing back in 1991.

Its from a chapter in the "Life Skills Self-Helpapedia"

WHAT IS THE MULTI-SOLUTIONS GENERATOR?

The Multi-Solutions Generator (MSG) is questions aimed at helping us reach behavioral and emotional change goals as rapidly and as comfortably as possible. Based on Ericksonian and Solutions-Oriented approaches, the MSG is geared to create rapid solutions that hold up over time. These solutions will come from us and will evolve from a change in perspective or from a specific action or both.

In creating solutions the MSG focuses on what is possible and alterable, rather than on the impossible and unalterable. Behavior is the primary target for change. During the solutions-generating process the MSG zeroes in on the problem-free times or the exceptions to our difficulties. Example: the time we are not acting addictively or are being angry. Our attention is drawn to what specifically is different about these problem-free times and what can be done to produce more of the same.

To speed our solutions we better choose goals and make them into clear, measurable, and specific outcome images. These goals will be concrete and observable. In making our goals clear, measurable, and specific, we make our goals achievable. (Look for Dreamstate Creation Process upcoming)

We might ask: "What specifically do we want to change?"

MSG goals focus on:

*What humanly can be done

*The present & future

*Concrete & observable behavior change

*Allowances for our human fallibility

*Us

*Changes in viewpoint & action which create desirable behavior

MSG utilizes our own individual styles of performance. The focus here is on solutions rather than problems. The MSG recognizes we possess all the abilities and strengths required to remake perspectives and to take solutions generating action. We take responsibility for our attitudes, behaviors, and feelings.

Present and future oriented, the MSG avoids talk of the past. Viewpoints, formed from a past perspective, tend to give strong life and power to present challenges. With the MSG, explanations and history are regarded as creations after the fact. Numerous explanations may fit the facts well and may hold equal truth, yet searching them out slows the solutions process and saddles it with excess baggage. Seemingly no one correct way of verbally constructing realities exists. The MSG avoids all beliefs not worthwhile to the desired change.

The MSG focuses on observable physical actions. If problems are mentioned, they are described in the past tense. Solutions are represented in the present and future.

The MSG demonstrates we do not need to know a difficulty's cause inorder to find its solution. Insight is an unrequired factor in the change process. No theory or hypothesis in needed for challenge resolution.

People are different from moment to moment and from day to day. No one is a continuous label. No one acts the same way constantly. No one feels the same way all the time. The MSG will point out an individual's differing behaviors and feelings during the course of a day.

Flexible and open-ended, the MSG utilizes whatever a person brings to the question and answer session. This form of self-counseling evokes an individual's resources, solutions, strengths and brings them to attack the problem situation.

The MSG employs language that makes a future solution appear probable and realistic. This probability and realism makes the solution more likely to occur because the approach nurtures a positive self-fulfilling prophecy.

In overcoming problems, the MSG either erases the problem completely or makes the problem appear manageable by reducing its strength and size. Frequently difficulties are undercut by demonstrating they only occur at certain times or in changeable situations. Often problematic behavior is relabeled, has its direction altered, or is linked to an extremely difficult task to create resistance to further performance.

Difficulties are generally found in:

*Frequency of certain happenings

*A situations labels and meanings

* A sequence of actions

*The direct or indirect involvement of certain people.

*Specific physical location

*Factors in the environment (crime, economics, employment etc.)

* The degree the problem is outside an individual's control

*Focus of blame

*Extremely negative predictions

*Emotions

*Physiological states

Difficulties are often kept alive by either seeing no solution or believing the only alternative is another problem. The MSG avoids the trap of repeating ineffective solutions.

The MSG getsw us to look at how reality might appear without a particular problem. Here small changes are seen to effect the larger picture.

The MSG focuses us on altering our behavior in problematic situations and on trading fixed negative labels for everyday positive descriptions. The main tools of the MSG are questions, clarifications, activity assignments, and relabeling.

The Multi-Solutions Generator: Session 1

Are you seeking a solution? These questions will assist you in rapidly formulating a clear direction for your solution. Jot down your answers so you can review them or clarify them further.

1) Why are you using the MSG?

(2) Are there clues leading you to believe a challenge actually exists?

3) Is there something you desire more of? If so, specify what it is. A feeling? A behavior? Something tangible? Something you or another person are doing? Something happening in your environment? Something else?

4)Is there something you want to maintain? If so, specify what it is. A feeling? A behavior? Something tangible? From you? From someone else? From the environment? From a group?

5) Is there something you want less of? If so, specify what it is. A feeling? A behavior? Something tangible? From you? From someone else? From the environment? From a group?

6) After reviewing the 5 previous questions jot down what the problem was. Be clear and specific in jotting down the details to describe what the problem was. Example: Jim watches watches the Extreme Games each Sunday and ignores me.

7) What positive new label will you give this challenge? (Example a panic attack was relabeled and energy festival; a failure was relabeled a valuable learning experience)

8) What specifically took place during the (Your new label).

Then what happened? And then what happened?

9)Who was present during the (New label). What did each person say or do? Then what happened? And then what happened?

10) Where did the (new label) most frequently occur?

11) Was there a particular time of day, month, or year when the (new label) was most likely to happen?

12) How was this (new label) a challenge for you?

13) If a close friend, relative, or boss was present now, what would he or she say about the way you went about solving this (new label)?

14) You just snapped your fingers and blinked. Suddenly a change occurred and your (new label) was solved. How would you know the (new label) was solved? What would be different?

15) When you have a solution, what would you be doing? How would you feel? What would you be saying to others?

16) Right after you found a solution, what would life be like? What would you see? Hear? Feel? Smell? Taste?

17) Immediately after the solution arrives, what challenge would you overcome next? Or would you rather relax and take it easy for awhile?

18)Describe your (new label) free times.

19)What happens when you don't experience your (new label)?

20)What is different about the times you are getting what you want?

21)What are you and others, involved in the (new label) doing differently during the (new label) free times?

22) In describing the (new label) free times,on what do you focus?

23)In describing the (new label) free times, what do you ignore?

24) What is different about those times when the (new label) is manageable?

25) When do these (new label) free times happen?

26) Would you rather have a complete solution today, tomorrow, in a week, or in a few weeks?

27) (If the (new label) is not yet solved) Before the next session would you rather observe all the (new Label) free times and make a note of your observations or would you rather do something differently during the time when the (new label) most often occurs?

I appreciate the way you assembled the MSG. I've been a large fan of Ericksonian and the Solution Oriented approaches since they started popping up in the late eighties. Your questions and their order really change perspectives on a socalled problem in a hurry. The Solutions-oriented folks studied why therapy worked and why it didn't. They conducted their studies out in Palo Alto through a two way mirror. They began to see what slowed up the therapy process. They studied language forms and it's affects on perspectives. Your 6 session brief counseling approach in MSG is very well constructed. Add you clearing methods and you have a fool proof approach for helping people change. I use Ericksonian and Solutions Oriented approaches to swiftly pull people out of the idea that their situation is hopeless or anywhere near it. This material has real application in marital therapy. Your introduction offers some real insight into why problems are the way they appear.

Wow, go away on vacation and come back and everything has changed. I guess that's what one should expect from a tech board dedicated to transformation.

Steve, WOW...really like the Gork drill. Did you read my mind or what?

Previously there was a discussion on Monkey Mind on the other board. I had completely forgotten about this technique until I had time to reflect during a long car ride.

Now that Label it's have been explained, this is one way of utilizing them. After I had gotten really good at doing label it's this was suggested to me. That all one had to do was a "label it" on one's thought. Watch what happens. If another thought appeared, label that, and so on and so on.

Steve I had completely forgotten that after experiencing this place of "no" thought a few times, that I had anchored it with a label, I used the label "clear". I don't know if I did that intuitively or had read it somewhere. I was amazed that after six years that anchor was still in place. I also anchored a state that I refer to as "present". I was somewhat successful with that. I also tryed anchoring a state of being that I refer to as "grounded", as you all might suspect, I have never been too successful with that one. LOL

Perhaps others could share what it feels like to be grounded.

I once asked a pyschic how she grounded yourself. She answered that she used food. I started noticing that alot of females who are pyschic are usually overweight. Doesn't seem to be the case with men. So guys, is this not a problem with you?

The reason the anchor didn't work was that I hadn't fully experienced that state of being.

Does the fact that I have not been fully grounded in my body for most of my life help explain "why" expereinces of altered states have come so easily for me?

Mildly dissociated states are common. A lot of artistic folks are this way. Artists. Poets. Designers. They travel around often not fully in their bodies. This is why self-hypnosis and visualization often comes easy for those

who are mildly dissociated. Frequently these people are called "spacey". This way of being in the world is a resource for many. There's another variety of dissociation that occurs where the person is dissociated to their intellect. They think more rather than feel. The artist imagines in a visual way rather than feels. These are all personal styles and nothing's really wrong with it. It makes for talents and abilities. It's ashame however when folks of a particular category have a challenge accepting others from another category. Artists and business people usually clash from their profound differences in the way they view their surroundings and take in information.

Steve,

Your Multi-Solutions Generator is really strange. It allowed me to look at a "challenge" I was having with my friend in a completely differnt way. Before I finished the first session two solutions looked obvious. The process also let me look at how my thinking about a problem can actually held create the problem. Language and how it's used has a lot of power that I don't believe many of us are fully conscious of. We get locked into looking at reality a certain way. I see where you keep people out of the past tense and negative labels. After I finished the session, I felt more energized and alive. It altered my mood and gave me a sense of hope about this situation. This process might be very good for people who were depressed or felt hopeless. It gives you a sense of control. I almost wish I had more problems so I could work some more with this.

I would like to share with everyone that on Monday I got the results back from a recent MRI. These results showed that several malignancies growing on my liver as recently as mid August are no longer there. This thrilled me no end let me tell you. I attribute this remission to several factors I have added to my life since I recieved the initial diagnosis of cancer in March. I have undergone a raw foods diet, the use of mega doses of anti-oxidents and nutritional supplements, visualizations, and NAP tech processes. I suspect they all worked in a powerful synergy.

The NAP tech I used most often were the Vortex and the Meridian Grasp. I focused on those areas which were causing me great stress. My fear of death was overwhelming.

It is no longer a factor in the slightest. I have no fear of death. It is gone and has been replaced by a very relaxed acceptance of life. My fear of death had many individual parts. The Vortex and Meridian Grasp altered all these parts profoundly. It is strange somewhat that in altering my fear of death my daily anxiety states vanished along with it. My automatic assumptions that I had little or no chance of survival vanished. It is stamped in pure steel in my mind and body that I will live. It feel like a forgone conclusion. I can not begin to tell you what that does to my spirit. I feel like my healing spirit has been set free. My relationships with others have been opened up by this whole experience. I use the Vortex tapping structure several times a day to make sure my energies are flowing in harmony. I completely believe the change in diet and my use of the NAP tech were the keys to this turn about. If you cut out your internal stressers that means so much to how you see and feel.

Steve,

The state of being "grounded" is really anchored. Cool...

Can you imagine anchoring a state such as satori? Might try anchoring, if I ever experience that state again. Probably not SAFE, but it's LEGAL. LOL

How about a "thinness" state? How would that feel? This might be the most effective creation tech I've ever experienced. So now tell me step by step how you anchor something. I don't have a clue how I do it. (I hope the instructions include a few taps here and there to make it more effective.)

Teko,

Wouldn't it be cool if you could anchor that state in athletics known as the "zone". I wonder if Tiger Woods has been able to do that? I was playing putt-putt on vacation with Hubby and friends. Hubby and friends are regular golfers. I was beating them when I was thinking about this.

The word grounding is very interesting; it is one of those words that one tends to accept automaticaly without really asking what it is, except on this board. My Oxford concise defines it as, "teaching the basic elements of a subject", i.e. a thorough grounding in etiquette. But in the personal developement field it has other meanings and is used loosely to describe a state such as being in the body , or being centered, or being connected, or simply being there. So here is a word that has fairly common usage in therapy that hasn't reached the dictionaries yet. My ideal idea of being grounded are two Samari warriors sitting crossed legged with their bums well rooted to the earth, facing each other and exchanging communication unflinching and unwavering. One method for grounding I've come across is to walk slowly barefoot on earth or grass keeping your attention on each step. This is useful if you've been spending too much time upstairs and you need to draw your energy away from your head.

Michael,

I am so glad to hear your story of recovery. Any recovery is very good news, whatever the means.

It seems that you pay tribute to your diet and the NAP techniques. 2 very good cause and effects on health. Diet is obviously important and we do not really need to discuss that.

The NAP effect on health needs lots of discussion. The mind really does lead the body. Good or bad health can be generated by the brain. Ofcourse this is not the only cause. Lester Levenson has shown that a good release technique can clear the mind of stress. With the mind, then the body destressed, the body can reassume its natural tendencies toward healing. The power of beliefs has as strong an effect on the body, as say, exercise or diet. Beliefs release chemicals in the body that alter it. That is why the placebo effect is so strong.

But be cautioned, that is just one of many components.

For now, congratulations and enjoy your recovery.

Topic: Anchoring Satori

Sent: 3:50 PM - 10/4 2000

Cyndy:

Just about any state can be anchored. Satori may be a tad difficult because of its multiple brainwave components. However you might give it a shot. Anchoring is really a straight forward process. Most people find that body anchors are the easiest. In the midst of your satori you might pinch yourself several times in the same spot. This same spot will likley reevoke the same state if Satori is cooperative. At the very least satori like states can be resourced when doing some emoclear tech where you get full essence during the transformation part. The same also occurs in the Core Transformation process when you produce a core resourse. Although there is no regular anchor here, what happens is that your flipover/transformational beacon or core state pops up when you again enter into a situation

similar to the one you cleared. You will be in a zone here.

As for athletics, zones could be anchored. I'm sure there's some professional athletes who might be employing NLP anchoring. Also if someone was to transformationally clear on let's say tension around their putting or foul shooting, they could experience being in a zone when putting or foul shooting if they cleared. Hey can you imagine the Shaq laying inside the foul circle doing a Meridian Grasp. If he ever gets his foul shooting together, can you imagine what his scoring average would become?

I really like the Core Transformation Process. It may not be easy for some folks to follow because of all it's steps, but I believe it's rewarding once you get it nailed down.

It's based on or it at least runs parallel to the old roll forward, roll backward exercise. This is what makes Core Trans go. The old roll forward, roll backward. Its simply asking your feelings/problem what good thing it's doing for you. Then you keep asking how that good thing can get better. You keep asking until you hit wall that ends up in essence land. In Core Transformation this is called the Core State. You then take all your answers and reverse dip them in order in your Core State and they are transformed. You essence has energy added to it. This is a great exercise. Then they have that time line add on that gets you to rapidly review past and future and integrate them.

The end result is you have have one of those nice flipovers/transformational beacons.

You really don't have to anchor a core state because this corestate should leave you in a goodway the next time you enter into a situation where you formerly had a challenge.

I'm not so sure if Core States and Satori states are anchorable in the traditional sense because of the complexity of the brainwaves involved. You'd have to experiment.

Hi Cindy,

I don t really see how the Satori state can be anchored, because anchoring requires grasping SOMETHING, whereas Satori is nothing that the mind can grasp or hold on to.

Definitionless, Inexplicable WOW....that s what I like calling it. But if you have any succsess in anchoring it, let me and know.

Dear Robert,

in your post you hint that Avatar tells us we create the physical universe. I did not read this anywhere in the Avatar-Materials. I understand it this way: "I create my perception/reaction/experience of the physical universe".

However, I do believe it s possible to LEARN to expand one s creatability to that point of Mastery, once one has mastered the "Universe of Self".

It's absolutely true that you can't grasp Satori. However Anchoring is not grasping. It's simply reviving a mental or bodily state by linking it to auditory, visual, or tactile cues. However I too bet that might be a chore or a wait with an anchor because of the reason Steve gave {I think it was Steve} and that is that a satori state may have too many brainwaves going on at once. Satori states have been likened to whole brain synchrony where you have a balance of alpha, theta, and beta spiking. Getting that stuff to happen all at once isn't easy. Your brain can't suddenly pop into that without a buildup and I don't see an anchor giving that enough time. Someone experiment and let us know what happens.

I hope you're arn't wierded out by some of the conversations posted on this board. For instance today's posts about the possibility of anchoring satori. Some newcomers may be overwhelmed by the possibility of even achieving satori let alone anchoring it as a "convenient" state. A lot of newcomers to this board must have dropped jaws at some of the stuff that gets bandied about as everyday occurrences. The regulars here take a lot for granted now because they've experiemented with a whole lot of tech. Keep in mind that many newcomers would be amazed by what they hear about Emoclear, Avatar, or Core Trans can do.

99% of psychologists, psychaitrists, social workers, and counselors have no clue about rapid change that holds up over time. If they were to come by here they would be freaked if not incredulous. To newcomers I invite you to read and to experiement. These people arn't as crazy as they appear. The processes, that get bandied about here like meat and potatoes, are for real. You just have to pinch yourself sometimes. I don't mean anchoring either.

The Physical Universe is our biofeedback unit. When someone observes their universe objectively they can determine whether they are creating their primaries (what they now truly intend) or if they are creating their secondaries (prior beliefs which are still operating and are preventing/ in conflict with the new creation).

Just remember that you are already alway Source. You are the producer, director, actor. It is your stage. You set the show. Appreciate the creation that you are creating. It is from this level you continue the creation, discreate the creation, or go on to any new creation that you choose. Accepting responsibility for your creation is always the first step.

Harry,

I've never looked at the physical universe as my personal feedback unit. That is certainly a unique way of looking at the physical universe. Personalizing it as a unit and making it mine. I'm more likely to view the universe as part of my consciousness or as energy to which I am a part.

Is observing the universe objectively set by a criterion based on whether we are creating what we intend versus the creation of prior beliefs that are still operative. How do we create a prior belief? Or are we just observing it now?

I'm somewhat hazy here. Arn't there a lot of other possible criterion for whether we are observing the universe objectively? Arn't these our creations also or our borrowings? Your statement here raises a lot of interesting questions!

What is Source? Is that like a viewer/creator? Is that the same as what some people call witness? Is Source also created when we objectify it? Can Source be discreated?

What is the experience of Source? Knowing that all this is subject to language structures.

I like the idea that we have some control over our reality.

That we can create and discreate and this will certainly raise the probability of what we want being put into motion.

But what if what we want or intend is blocked by circumstances outside our control? We do have to deal with others, with genetics, our talents, our abilities, competing creators and discreators, gravity, solar flares, you name it.

Why would accepting responsibility for my creation always be the first step. Can I take partial responsibility? No responsibility at all and still create? Hey I only want to take full responsibility for creations that work out! If it flubs can I blame my schooling and upbringing? What law in the universe says I have to take responsibility for my creation as my first step? How would this benefit my creation process?

Hey if you're Harry Palmer come on by. There's plenty of room on this tech board.

Kind Bud! Howabout sensimmilia laced with DMT. Now we're talking!

People are going to experiment with hallucinogens anyway.

I think breathwork will take you to the same places as any of the hallucinogens and it is not as intense as high dose LSD.

Why I'm not in favor of drugs generally:

1--it's illegal and you can get busted.

2--somepeople get traumatized by their use. It's more likely the psychological junk already inside the person that leads to trauma and panic. However hallucinogens can help to faciliate a number on some persons.

3--A lot of the hallucinogens out there now are banked and labbed by unscrupulous and greedy criminal types. Quality control is not there. You can get toxic overdoses and drugs cut with speed and poisons. That's a fact.

4--Some people can not handle high intensity trips because they will freak or go psychotic. That's a fact.

5--Most hallucinogens are misused by doper types. They're drinking beer and wine and doing pot speed and acid and the same time. They do it a raves for sensual effects and not for inner exploration.

6--The mob often profits from hallucinogens. The days of the honest campus lab are long gone.

7--Safer alternatives exist.

 

People are going to do hallucinogens no matter what. Just know your sources and know that certain kinds of breathwork will take you there without poisoning you or sending your system out of balance.

William,

I'm in total agreement with your reasons of "why" not to use drugs for exploration.

I also though support the idea that one has to have a certain attitude when exploring. I embrace the attitude that "I am willing to risk it all" or from an Avatar viewpoint, "there is no limit to what I am willing to experience". Safe and legal doesn't fit with that attitude.

What were you willing to do to get this knowingness? What sacrifices did you make? I'll bet you didn't just do breath work.

I just recently watched a show about Cat Stephens. (I think you're old enough to remember him) He was willing to give up his music. Can you imagine doing that?

I'm unwilling to take silly risks or risking it all. I'm not self-defeating. I've taken socalled risks in my life, but I've never endangered my life. Taking some of those street drugs out there are now is downright foolish. I did LSD in the mid seventies. Blotters. I did shrooms too--they were a bit better for exploration.

The crud they sell today is downright dangerous. The shrooms were a decent experience. If I knew now what I know about breathwork, I would rank breathwork as about as potent as the shrooms. I wouldn't touch today's street acid with a 40 foot pole. It's amped by speed and strichnine. I used to do 9 or 10 blotters of acid at a time so I mega dosed. It opened me up, but I don't believe for a second those openings took you to places that prolonged zen mediation and sped up breathwork take you. Sure the intensity and the colors are something else with LSD, but that's not the whole game by a long shot. There's still a veil with acid. It doesn't open up some areas of consciousness at all. I've never had OBE's or telepathic experiences on acid--I have with breathwork. It takes you down deep into your unconscious mind without all of acid's distortions. I'm talking as a consciousness consumer. I'd rate sped up breathwork ahead of acid for the most profound exploration without all the colors and intensity.

And as far as Cat Stevens goes I don't think he's a good example of someone who risked it. I think he should've kept doing his music or something constructive. The last I heard he became a muslim fundy. He also agreed with the Ayatolla that murdering Salomon Rushdie would be a good idea. "Yes Baby, Baby it's a wild world." (That's an old Cat Steven's song)

It seems Cat Stevens was willing to risk Salomon Rushdie's life as well!

Acid can be a risk for some people that may well put them over the edge. It's not for everybody and personally I believe it should be outlawed. Especially in the light of how it's produced today in Mob labs.

There are wise risks and self-defeating risks.

I've played with Acid, DMT, mushrooms, and holotropic and circular breathwork. I'd rate fast circular breathing as a very,very profound experience. It was everybit as hallucinogenic as any psyillocybe Mexicana I've done. It also takes you down alleys LSD never did in all its color and profound intensity. LSD is limited. I agree with William that it can be overly distorting. It's a great experience--I won't knock it. But fast circular breathing rules. It flushes up stuff and blows stuff out. It produces psi experiences. It opens up the collective unconscious. It can take you to a place of total wholeness. Do it with classical music, electronica, and primative drumming. It will take you on a very powerful experience.

Cat Stevens to my recollection joined some muslim cult and publically demanded that Saloman Rushdie be hunted down and killed. Maybe he's grown beyond that.

Mushrooms are cool. At least psilosybe Mexicana. But they're not for everyone.

Enough about drugs.

If you feel safer doing breathwork with someone that's okay.

The one thing about doing it with a partner si that when you get lost in altered states and forget to keep up the breathing pattern, your partner can tap you on the shoulder and say breathe. Follow the breathing directions in any of the Emoclear processes. If you want to get there faster, pick up your breathing. Music really intensifies it. I mean really intensify it! That adds to the feeling and the altered state. Ask people who have been in holotropic breathworks--they utilize music there. Hey Steve has a whole interior exploration program with breathwork. He's got a ton of appropriate music that fits under 6 breathwork categories. Hey we can gang up on him and get Mr. Emolcear to post a program for us. When you do breathwork with powerful instrumental music, african drumming, shanai music,electronic music, and machine sounds it really is incredibly impactful.

It can get like acid when that sound wall is falling in on you.

You certainly have brought up some interesting questions for review. Dare I say, MANY questions. Okay, one at a time.

My philosophy is: "What a self believes attracts to that self the cicumstances which that self then experiences as his/her physical universe." Everything else are tools and techniques to manage those beliefs and explore ones consciousness. Resistance to our physical universe only generates increased struggle, suffering and further complexity and entanglement. Until one is willing to accept the responsibility of having created something one cannot experience the privilege of discreating it. Acknowledging your power to create a thing acknowledges your power to discreate it. Denial create helplessness and limitations.

Harry: I could agree to some extent that beliefs can attract to us certain circumstances. They certainly narrow our Perceptual field and cause within us certain actions that lead to the probability of attracting certain conditions. They can set up attractor fields. But there are also powerful conditions that reside outside our conscious control or control at all that also effect our lives just as strongly than our beliefs. We intuitions, sensings, disrupted energy flows, extrasensory perceptions, and lots more that are very powerful attractors that reside outside the domain of beliefs. Add to this senseless dumb luck. Randomness and indeterminancy. Magnetic fields. Ostrilisms in nature. Morphic fields. Our beliefs seem like small potatoes against the background of nature. How much clout can our beliefs have even if we completely buy the Avatar philosophy? I mean it may help some. It may give me some resiliance in the face of adverse conditions. But we likley need to control far more than our meagre belief systems. Attractor fields are enormous and Thomas Velikowski said that beliefs are only 10% of a huge and overwhelming picture. We need much more than just having belief control. The universe is immense in its power. True it flows through out consciousness. But our beliefs our really limited even though we may believe otherwise.

Arn't we really trying to hypnotize ourselves with glorified postive thinking in the guise of scientific belief management?

I agree we shouldn't struggle against the universe. But isn't creating and discreating our beliefs a subtle form of resisting the universe. We want something, we want to change our reality. Isn't this resistance? Can't this create problems for us down the road.

Now here is where I may have some slight disagreement with you. Maybe its word play or I am misuderstanding your philosophy here. I have created and discreated many things in my life using both Avatar methods and other methods. I have never once consciously taken responsibility for my socalled creations. Not once. I have seen them as a mix of learnings from out there and some of it seems to have been done automatically to me through my biology. I have not viewed them as my creations. I have seen them as

energetic forms that are there. I have payed attention to them as energetic forms. And I knew by doing this they would process out. Not once did I think of them as my creations. And not once did I take responsibility for them.

Yet they vanished away. And I have created beliefs through visualization. And I have created transformational flipovers. I never once bothered to consciously take any responsibility for them. I'm not so certain that your stated philosophy is true or even important to the procedures of creation or discreation.

The last statement you made I can travel with because I recognize my power to at least influence my belief systems and some of my reality. At least I know I can boost my resiliancy and up my probability of success.

Sometimes I forget, that there are others reading and not participating on board. I thank you Lyle, for bringing that back into our awareness. Not too long ago, I was a newbie too.

Perhaps, clarification is needed about the underlining theme of what I considered was being discussed in relation to satori and drug usage.

I see one of the main blockages to change or transformation is that of fear of experiencing the unknown.

So often, we don't venture out of our comfort zone, simply because we perceive that it won't be safe. Stay safe, stay in the known, even if it is causing us great suffering.

The experiences such as "satori" allows us to recognize that it's all in our "head". Such states as previous posted are not an unnatural occurance. Newbies, no big deal, don't get lulled into thinking it's something you, yourself haven't experienced. Maybe not to the degree some of us have. But you will if you seek it.

Again, biggest trap I see, fear of the unknown. Just be willing to fully experience.

Since I have always been a feeler, this exercise came very easy for me. It wasn't until I decided to experience the opposite that I came to understand what it may be like to not be aware of ones feelings.

I entered this detached state from the place of "no one" can hurt me. Not feeling, was a defense mechanism.

Do you know how to do the 180 degree drill? Might try that.

What is also very interesting is that I am not a very good visualizer. I have to really work at that, so tech that includes that type of thing, like NLP, is more difficult for me to do. Perhaps you just need to find a tech that is more suited to the way that you naturally process.

If you mean the political bs or what sort of a devil or angel Harry is, I'm for leaving personalities and personal attacks out of here.

Just the tech.

Cyndy: As I read the other poster's mention of safe, I understood it safe in avoiding situations where you could easily get restimmed or panicked or go nuts. I think these are potential strong hazards for some people to avoid. I've seen people get enough bad trips in my life to know there are dangers for some people in LSD use. I knew a woman back in college who slit her wrists wide open in a hotbath and killed herself after doing some blotter acid.

I don't believe it's the acid as much as the person doing it. Some people have a much smaller safety zone.

If your son or daughter had a fragile personality or suffered from panic disorder would you want them doing up LSD? Hey I'm for taking risks, but not stupid risks. I've done LSD and loved it, but I would never in a million years say it was for everybody.

There's only a few people out there that can negotiate mega hits of the stuff. They have resiliant personalities and can let go. They're rare persons.

Safe is sometimes smart. Take the small victories until your ready for the large one.

What is the 180 excercise, I haven't come across that? I can feel alright it's just that I can't seem to get into an excercise and really feel something,i.e, a limitation. I'm very certain that feelings are the key to tranformation. nearly everthing we think is based on feelings. If I say I can do something it is because I feel I can do it. If I say I can't do something it is because I feel I can't do it. It is the difference between confidence and fear which are both feelings. Hey! maybe that's what I should do, feel I can't do the excercises right to its outer limits. We are creatures of feeings. Out thoughts are verbalisations of these feelings.

Sure I've done the safe thing. While you all where off doing your LSD and shrooms in the 60's and 70's, I was keeping this baby making machine pure, free of toxins. Now, it's my turn to explore and you all are saying, not safe, don't do it. Sort of sounds like you all have gone soft in your old age or sensible.

I tend to think you did what you needed to do at the time. Just like I did. And if I needed to experiment with LSD or shrooms now, no amount of caution from anyone on board would stop me. It's just not needed at this time.

What's important to me is that I remain willing to experience and not be afraid of the unknown.

Much love,

Cyndy:

Basically read the warning label is what most people are saying. A lot of these guys did some heavy duty experiements back in the sixties and seventies. They saw these experiments as jumping off points to other sorts of disciplined interior study. No ones telling you not to do anything. If you think you're up for the trip you'll find away. However, if you've got a hassle with feeling feelings in anyway, I'd give shrooms a spin if you are going to go that route. An LSD trip could really get out of hand if you have a challenge with feelings. Something tells me you may have some problems with trust. I might be off. But if you you are doing a good dose you may find yourself getting emeshed with some strong suspicious feelings. Build yourself up and get some confidence at a less intense situation. Shrooms can open up some gates. Let me tell you too Breathwork and certain kinds of music can open some heavy duty gates. You need to do this breathing fully, quickly, and with a sense of surrender.

Don't sell that method short by a long shot. You'll be in some deep water and conscious dreaming. The Makyo and the intensity is quite strong. I kid you not. Your breath can trigger pretty much the same stuff as psychedelics if it's performed correctly. It can bring up plenty of stuff. The truth is some people can totally flip out from breathwork if they're fragile. That's why its good to know the Meridian Grasp and have it on hand if suddenly the flood gates open. I've seen people in nighmare alley on breathwork. The good thing is they can slow or stop their breathing and the nightmare clears up after a bit. With Acid you may have to go 7 hours before the peak is over and you come back to earth. By that time the charge is driven down into your being and you've got flashbacks and traumas galore. Anything worthwhile to be revealed on intense acid can be equally revealed on Breathwork. Special abilities can pop up on breathwork. I've never heard of that on acid.

Check out some books by Stan Grof on Holotropic Breathwork.

You'll see some places get opened up. He did LSD therapy and he'll even tell you breathwork leaves nothing to be desired.

Dale: I hope I'm reading you right. I've worked with all the big ticket releasers. Emoclear. Avatar. Sedona. They all release physical energy. It's really noticible if your doing Emoclear on a number of clears because that breathing is often triggering off orgasmic like body waves of energy.

You'll notice this if you take your attention off your targets and you'll see what your body is doing. I've seen my girlfriend doing the MG and the D.I.E. and her body is really writhing after about fifteen mintes of the stuff. I've seen these rhytmic spasms and you could almost detect heat or energy waves coming off her in a candle lit room.

A lot of energy travels out through the feet. The feet get very warm. It's the breathing that really magnifies this.

The others do it too, but to a lesser extent. However if you add breathing to the CHP and the Sedona you get similar effects.

Thanks guys,

On the surface this last weeks discussion may have appeared to be about using drugs. In reality it wasn't.

You see, a couple of weeks ago, my part-time job as being an accountant went bye-bye. Now most of you might not be aware of the fact that CPA's currently are in demand. (I could probably get almost any job I want) So the safe and sensible thing for me to do would be to find another job as an accountant. Not what I want to do. So letting go....

Very interesting to experience. Letting go of the safe, the known. Feels like falling into a deep abyss. The fact that I anchored the state of being "grounded" earlier this week certainly is a god-send. I certainly urge others who may be doing some deep exploration to try doing this.

Hank, you're very intuitive. Trust definitely something I've been exploring these last couple of months.

Okay, here is my official stand on drug usage.

I personally do not support or condone the usage of drugs by anyone who is mentally or emotionally unstable. That means if your tweaked or wacked don't use. Also if you're not of college age, forget it until you're older. I also do not support the usage of drugs for escapism (this includes alchol) But sometimes we do what we have to do.

There are some of us who are more fragile when it may come to this kind of exploration. Where fragility is a weakness here, it may be a strength in another application.

One good thing that has come from this discussion is Steve has promised to post something on breathwork in a couple of weeks. I really look forward to it.

I thank you all for your sharing.

Love and light and all that is,

Often times people will supress a feeling while doing a release. That is why is does not seem to work. That is also why circular breathing works so well. It brings up the supressed emotion. Once the feeling is in the forefront, it can be dealt with.

Consider the the Sedona Method. It has a very powerful question. "Could I let this go?" Wow! There is real power there. Let me break it down for you:

"Could"- A question. Non-intrusive.

"I"- Source. Claiming responsibility.

"let"- Allow. A choice.

"this"- Observing feeling objectively. Disassociating.

"go"- Release.

Many of you may think the Sedona Method is weak. But there is real depth there. But I think we tend to dismiss it too quickly.

Response to Hanks Post: Right on Hank.

Commentary to Releasing:

In order to release something it must first be owned fully.

You can t release what you don t experience yourself source of. As Krishnamurti was fond of saying: BE with it.

Enjoy it. Own it. Have it. Appreciate it.

....before releasing it.

Richard: The Walk for Atonment is a very powerful ritual that is, in my observation, often taught in a hasty and disgraceful way. Someday you might wanna re-consider it.

One of my favorite variations (not mentioned in any Materials): Step 2: "What is keeping me from fully trusting and giving in to Higher Source / God"

Step 4: "I fully trust / give in to my Creator"

Karl: I really like the old Sedona too and it's brother the D.I.E. Both of these are potent release release techs if done right. It's true the breathing really adds to the Sedona too. It builds an energy stream that helps in processing period. Not only does it help bring deep stuff to the surface, it moved the process along. The Sedona is a valuable word structure. Put that word structure in a fast moving river of energy and stuff really releases strongly. Emoclear Steve loves the Sedona. In fact if you read his directions to the D.I.E. he dedicates the D.I.E. as a tribute to the Sedona. The D.I.E. takes a different approach in its dropping method or releasing method. Don't sell the Sedona short. Hook breathing into it and releasing becomes easy. Another good thing about circular breathing is that you are breathing. Stopped breathing will short circuit the processing. Also always do any process with the intention of allowing it to be there. This is basically trusting that things will be handled. This trust grows with experience.

Ancient Temple: I just read your post. You and Steve must be on the same wavelength. I'm a United Methodist Christian and use prayer tech as well as some of the great tech on this board. I see it all coming from the one source. However this source goes by many names. Source. Senior to mind. God. Yahweh.

Buddha Mind. I could go on and on.

A few weeks back when I came to this board I got into an email discusssion with Steve about using tech within a Christian context. I teach a spirituality course in my U.M. congregation and I wanted to incorperate Steve's M.G., D.I.E. tech into their work. He helped me reframe and relabel all of these processes in ways that would be more accessible to the older, slightly conservative members of my class. We talked about prayer and I discovered he once wrote a manual on centering prayer which grew out of Christian Spirituality. By the way Steve is a free spirit liking certain elements of all religions. He leans heavily toward Buddhism, but he's not strictly so. I discovered he knows quite a bit about many diverse religions. To make a long story short Ancient T, when he was talking about making his tech more available to people who come from Christian backgrounds, he said almost the same thing you said. He helped me devise a spiritual exericise where the question was prompted: "What keeps me from letting Go to God and fully surrending to his divine will?" After this question was explored with intuition and slow circular breathing and the reason was opened up and integrated, then there came this statement: "I fully trust and surrender to God's divine will" This opens the path to a christian form of mediation which is grounded in allowing your problem to be handled by God (processed via Emoclear Christian tech)

I found your creator statement quite similar and very wise.

I'm looking forward to seeing Steve's Dreamstate Creation Process. I heard from William that it will create something exactly like false memory syndrome except in a positive sense. You get a passionate gut level vision of what you want absolutely unencombered by any secondaries.

I must have some secondaries because the idea makes me a little tense. That would be an incredibly powerful way of installing somerthing. The end result I'm told is that you experience it as if it really and truly happened already. William told me you have it stored as a memory just like what happens during false memory syndrome. I know it's my call, but the idea still leaves me feeling tense. I'll probably have to do some secondary clearing before I do this one.

Can anyone let me know how to get started? How exactly do I use the Tech processes to clear a conflict or problem? How do I even know what my conflicts or problems really are?

Topic: Walk for Atonement

Sent: 1:19 AM - 10/8 2000

Ancient Temple and Rich Head (great pseudonym!)

The Walk for atonement is indeed one of the least understood of the Avatar exercises. It is not a punishment your Avatar master sends you on for "not getting it".

The Walk is a pilgrimmage, a journey to the inner mountaintop. On the journey we drop all the heaviness of our past (burdens). At the peak we enjoy the pure air and expanded view. On the return we are full of blessings for life and all the other pilgrims, who, sooner or later, will make the journey too.

There are three exercises on the course that I seemed to end up explaining in greater detail and working very closely with the student. They are Transparent Beliefs, Persistent Mass, and Walk for Atonement. Walk for Atonement gets glossed over because its Section I, because the student wants to get on with the secret yadayada. Well, you know what? Walk for atonement is as heavy a hitter as the CHP any day. I have busted major life trauma and baggage with the walk. I have had students who just loved it, and did it every day on course, voluntarily. No punishing here.

Once it is understood what a cool cleanout it can be, all ideas about it being tedious vanish.

Section I Avatar, the publicly available, try it for cheap or free stuff, is as powerful as anything on the Wizard's course. I know, I have been to the wizard's course three times, and you don't even want to know how many walks for atonement I've done, not to mention transparent belief exercises. Don't sell Section I short. It's got some real goodies.

The Walk is indeed a ritual, and it should be treated with the same degree of respect for each symbolic motion that it specifies as you would in, say, a sweat lodge. Feel the thought of each of the steps on the way out. Stay with it until it shifts. Smell the roses at the end of the walk out.

Feel real blessings with every step on the way back. It's a kind of meditation.

I often would follow up the transparent belief exercise with a walk for atonement, and use the transparent belief uncovered as the subject for the steps of the Walk. Make no mistake - it's a discreation process. You feel the creation on the steps out, step out of it at the destination, and re-integrate on the steps back. You should have the same clear feeling you get from a successful Section III rundown. It's just a matter of being thorough, appreciating what you are doing, and not letting the deeper implications of the aspects of the ritual slip by in unawareness. If you need to, stop, refocus, and bring your full awareness back to the exercise. Then continue on. It might only take a half hour. It could take two hours - it takes however long it takes. The result is what is important. Don't compromise on getting a successful result from it. -Y

On the topic of manifesting "primaries" or creating new realities, I think it's simply a matter of degree and agreement. You can change a lot about your "self" in your own mind and within your immediate environment. Repaint the room, for one thing. You can strongly influence personal relationships for the better. It isn't all that hard to make some pretty big reality changes within your community. And there we enter the realm of--pardon the expresssion--politics. Also diplomacy. Welcome to group dynamics. You had better know how to work the news media.

Of course it's possible to argue that all of existence, including the physical universe, is just one big hologram we project through the collective mass consciousness, yadayada. But if you want to change very much about that, you are going to have to figure out how to get the agreements of everyone and everything involved. This may present interesting challenges, as no one has yet agreed on a way to tally up the dolphin and tree votes, let alone those of every grain of sand on the beach.

On Cyndy's comments about trying new things, I think it's also a matter of degree and perhaps some transitional mode of operation. You said you are leaving an accounting job, and are ready for new challenges. Is this a starting point where you can use your valuable knowledge and experience within a different context? Or are you going to scrap your career altogether and take up something entirely different? I have no opinion on this either way, but I do think it's worthwhile to look at what might be the optimum degree of change. As in, how much and how fast?

Here is an adaptation of an exercise developed by Ron Davis to give a sense of orientation. In other words, just spatially positioning yourself, or your "mind's eye" viewpoint in relation to what is around you. It's part of his lexicon of processes to correct dyslexia. Ron likes to do this guided, but I think it's possible to do it solo too.

If some of the various authorities here--particularly newbies to consciousness work--would be willing to try it, I would appreciate your feedback. In particular, were the instructions easy to follow? Did it do anything? If so, what?

------------------------

We'll assume that you are in a room with four walls, a ceiling and a floor. If not, please find one for this simple exercise.

Sit comfortably somewhere near the center of the room with your feet on the floor. Do a little circlar breathing. Cross your right ankle over your left ankle. Put your right hand in the center of your chest so you can feel your heart beat. Put your left hand below it on your diaphragm and feel your breathing. Close your eyes and put your attention on the eight corners of the space within the room. Hold your attention there and notice your feet touching the floor.

Remain sitting where you are. Imagine yourself getting up, walking over to each wall of the room and touching it. Don't worry about the furniture; this is an astral body, so it can walk right through things. Now, imagine yourself strolling back to where your real body is sitting. Your astral body walks up behind the chair. Imagine it putting its hands on both shouldere of the real body that is sitting there and looking down at the top of your real head. Feel the hands on your real, physical shoulders. Now, mentally find the eight corners of the room again. Open your eyes and look around the room.

Hint: If you find yourself getting distracted or "drifting off" when you don't want to, this is a handy way to refocus. In the future, just put the imaginary hands on the shoulders of your real body.

Also, let me know if I could have explained this more clearly, please.

You sound articualte and you say you are inwardly tangled, yet you ask about knowing what your problems and conflicts really are. What does being inwardly tangled mean for you. Can you describe that? What would be peace of mind for you? Please describe that.

What makes you believe you may have a problem or a conflict? At this point in time what does a problem or conflict mean to you.

The tech directions are pretty straight forward. However I would not even begin to do any of this work without first knowing what a problem or conflict is.

You may need to head over to the library and get an introductory book talking about what problems and conflicts are. Without knowing what a problem or conflict is, you can't pinpoint what you may need to transform.

Can you tell the difference between feelings you like and those you don't enjoy? Can you tell which of your behaviors you like or don't like? Do you have thoughts that arn't serving you well? Do you like your moods?

You really need to know what your problems and conflicts are, so I'd head over to the library and get that intro. book on problems, feelings, and conflicts. This w
