This is the establishment of identity. He imposes some distance and delays and barriers to his communication and perception so that he will not simply be a reflection of everybody else all at once. Initially, these barriers are selective and he shifts them around at will. But they are barriers and as a result, he can be surprised and be presented with things that he was not aware of or prepared for. The early being, before he decays, cannot be harmed or impacted, but he can choose to reject things on an aesthetic basis, finding them undesirable for whatever reason. And so there comes to be a flux of acceptance and rejection and the possibilities of communications being blocked or misunderstood. In the face of having undesirable things pushed at him or having his valued presentations rejected by others, the being may go into protest, objecting to the enforcement or rejection. If a being's attempts to communicate a protest are blocked, he will create something to convey his protest in a more physical manner that is harder to ignore. And so he creates something and insists that others observe it, and because it is often rejected, he begins to create it compulsively. Protest lies at the root of most compulsions. In theory, you might think that acceptance would solve this, but it is a two way street and half of his protests are due to other's lack of acceptance of his creations rather than his own lack of acceptance of their creations. Therefore, the protest mechanism must be addressed directly. Although communication barriers are the initial abberative factor in a being's existence, they are not themselves aberrations because they are done by choice. Protests are the first actual aberration (lessening of the beings ability and awareness, in this case because of doing something compulsively). The keynote here is to spot protests and identify what you are creating to communicate those protests, and who should have received and acknowledged the communication. By bringing these into view, you should be able to regain control over things that are being compulsively created. The limitation here is how deep and early can one reach, because many of the compulsive creations are in protest of things that are not only long forgotten but so far out of the sphere of human existence that they are not really comprehensible until one has advanced extremely far. So take this as far as you can at this stage and count on finding more on a second pass through this book. 14.1 Current Protests 14.1.1a) What are you protesting 14.1.1b) What have you done to communicate that 14.1.1c) Who should acknowledge that Next run: 14.1.2a) What about you is another protesting 14.1.2b) What have they done to communicate that 14.1.2c) How could that be acknowledged Then run: 14.1.3a) What are others protesting 14.1.3b) What have they done to communicate that 14.1.3c) Who should acknowledge that 14.2 Past protests If the answer to the first question in each set is "nothing", then skip it and go on to the next set. Each set is run as follows: a) spot the protest b) what did you create to protest that? c) who should have acknowledged it? And then look for an earlier similar protest, including past life protests. If there is none apparent, then spot another protest in the same area. For example, on "What have you protested about your body", you would then look for an earlier similar protest which might also be about your current body or a body that you had in an earlier life. If you can't spot any, then look for another protest about your body or about bodies that you have had in earlier lives. If there is something on a topic (such as your body), then continue running protests in that area (earlier similar etc.) until you feel good about the area. 14.2.1a) What have you protested about your body? 14.2.1b) what did you create to protest that? 14.2.1c) who should have acknowledged it? 14.2.1d) Find earlier similar protests and repeat 14.2.2a) What have you protested about your family? 14.2.2b) what did you create to protest that? 14.2.2c) who should have acknowledged it? 14.2.2d) Find earlier similar protests and repeat 14.2.3a) What have you protested about your jobs and work environment? 14.2.3b) what did you create to protest that? 14.2.3c) who should have acknowledged it? 14.2.3d) Find earlier similar protests and repeat 14.2.4a) What have you protested about society? 14.2.4b) what did you create to protest that? 14.2.4c) who should have acknowledged it? 14.2.4d) Find earlier similar protests and repeat 14.2.5a) What have you protested about living things? 14.2.5b) what did you create to protest that? 14.2.5c) who should have acknowledged it? 14.2.5d) Find earlier similar protests and repeat 14.2.6a) What have you protested about the physical universe? 14.2.6b) what did you create to protest that? 14.2.6c) who should have acknowledged it? 14.2.6d) Find earlier similar protests and repeat 14.2.7a) What have you protested about spirits? 14.2.7b) what did you create to protest that? 14.2.7c) who should have acknowledged it? 14.2.7d) Find earlier similar protests and repeat 14.2.8a) What have you protested about God or religion? 14.2.8b) what did you create to protest that? 14.2.8c) who should have acknowledged it? 14.2.8d) Find earlier similar protests and repeat 14.3 Acknowledgment Protest tends to persist because of lack of acknowledgment. So lets approach this from the other side. a) What condition have you failed to acknowledge b) What condition has another failed to acknowledge c) What condition have others failed to acknowledge 14.4 Acceptance a) What protest of another's could you accept b) What protest of yours could another accept c) What protest of another's could others accept 14.5 Compulsions Compulsive behavior is usually started in protest of something. The actual protest may have begun in an earlier life, so that you have to use a loose sort of question along the lines of "what might you protest with that?". This lets you bring up odd answers that don't fit your current lifetime but which might actually be the correct answer in the lifetime in which you created the protest. Very strange answers can show up on this process. Once a compulsion starts, the being will accumulate other mental charge on it in addition to the original protest, so don't be disappointed if the compulsion doesn't magically disappear completely on spotting the protest. But the compulsion will be weakened considerably and you should find that you have much more free choice than you did before. And the later weight that has built up on it will have a tendency to unravel as time passes. For this process, you spot a compulsion and then run the following on it, over and over until a major release occurs. a) What might you protest with that? b) What would be the communication there? c) Who should acknowledge that? 14.6 Chronic Physical Conditions The same process as given in 14.5 above can also be run on a chronic physical condition. This is good for illnesses and things which should have healed but haven't. It is not always applicable to physical accidents although in some cases the person will have brought about the accident in protest of something. Once a physical condition has established itself as chronic, it tends to get confirmed by other things (everything from receiving disability checks to using it to gain sympathy). And there are other factors which can trigger or reinforce chronic conditions (we will be covering this in other chapters). But sometimes this protest button might be the key to resolving a condition, so give it a try and get as much as you can out of it. 14.7 Basic Protest At basic, one protests things that one is forced to or prevented from being, doing, or having. 14.7.1 Beingness Here we are referring to things which a person could be, such as a policeman or a prostitute or a parent etc. a) What beingness might you protest b) What beingness could you accept 14.7.2 Doingness Here we are referring to things that a person might do, such as skiing or stealing or running etc. a) What doingness might you protest b) What doingness could you accept 14.7.3 Havingness Here we are referring to things that a person might have, such as money or guns or cars. a) What havingness might you protest b) What havingness could you accept 14.7.4 Inhibited Beingness a) What have you been prevented from being b) write down any protests you might have about that c) who should acknowledge that 14.7.4 Inhibited Doingness a) What have you been prevented from doing b) write down any protests you might have about that c) who should acknowledge that 14.7.5 Inhibited Havingness a) What have you been prevented from having b) write down any protests you might have about that c) who should acknowledge that 14.8 Communicating protests a) what protest could you let another tell you b) what protest could you tell to another c) what protest could another tell to others 14.9 Acceptance Go to a crowded place. Spot people. For each one, accept them for what they are and mentally acknowledge them for being that. ================= SELF CLEARING CHAPTER 15: PROBLEMS When we talk about problems in processing, we are not talking about things that one solves, as in a math problem, but about persistent difficulties which remain fixed and which one can't seem to solve. For example, we are not talking about solving the "problem" of how to pour the concrete foundation for adding a new room to a house. That is something you handle by studying construction or hiring an engineer. Instead, we are talking about problems such as needing to add an extra room but not being able to afford it. In this case there is a conflict, with two things in opposition. The need for a room and the absence of money. In the sense that we are using here, it is only a true problem if it is a persistent condition that exists because of two things in conflict. If there were only one rather than two things involved, it would carry through to its natural completion. But with two things in opposition to each other, they hang suspended and cause the person's attention to fixate. In theory the person should be able to figure out one side or the other. In our example, he would either figure out an alternative to adding a room or some other solution to his need for extra space or he would figure out a way to make more money or build it more cheaply or whatever. These are the normal mechanics of living life and solving the one sided "problems" which are no more than exercises in how to get things done. But when two things lock up like this, they become difficult to confront. When the person tries to confront the problem of needing more room, he stirs up his money worries and can't think about it clearly. And when he tries to confront his money troubles, he gets distracted by the worries about needing the extra room. And so the problem persists, continually nagging at him and never really resolving unless some outside force intervenes. And he will become habitual on certain kinds of problems, so that even when a specific situation is solved by gratuitous fortune, he gets the same kind of mess going again as quickly as possible. Furthermore, all logic and appearances to the contrary, if he has gotten stuck like this you will find that he is himself creating both sides of the problem. He is stuck because he is putting both opposing forces there and holding them in opposition and sitting in the middle between them. That is why he can't think and do something to change the situation. There is more to discuss here, but we should run some processes first. Most of these processes use "What is the problem?" as the first question. They are generally simple alternating commands where you spot the problem and then spot something about the problem and then spot the problem again etc. You need to keep spotting the problem because it will change and your awareness of it will increase. Also, an earlier problem that underlies the first one may come into view, so don't make a point of continuing to spot the same problem. 15.1 Confront This is very simple. Just alternate the two commands, letting the problem shift around or letting an underlying problem come into view as needed. a) What is the problem b) What part of that problem could you confront 15.2 Games and Creation At basic, we are balancing the nothingness with an infinity of creation. As a person becomes blocked on direct creation, he still continues to add to the richness and variety by playing interesting games. When he can't do that either, he starts creating problems compulsively because that at least gives him some kind of game and creation. By inventing problems or games, the person begins to create causatively and can get off of the stuck compulsive creation that is holding a problem in place. Each of the following 3 processes has two commands that should be alternated. 15.2.1a) What is the problem 15.2.1b) Invent a problem of comparable magnitude 15.2.2a) What is the problem 15.2.2b) Invent something worse than that problem 15.2.3a) What is the problem 15.2.3b) Invent a game that would be more interesting than that problem. 15.3 More on confront 15.3a) what problem could you confront 15.3b) what problem could another confront 15.3c) what problem could others confront 15.4 Solutions If one has a problem of this sort (two things in conflict), and one "solves" it without confronting or taking apart the source of the conflict, the solution doesn't actually remove the original problem but simply buries it. In our example of needing an extra room (perhaps one now needs a second bedroom for a child) and not having enough money for it, one might "solve" it by borrowing money or even by getting divorced. This in turn becomes a new fixed idea because the solution must be held in place to avoid the original problem. And being fixed in place, it will in turn become a new problem. This is a self perpetuating mechanism which leads to ever more problems. Let's do some processes on this. 15.4.1a) What is the problem 15.4.1b) What solutions have you had for that problem 15.4.2a) What problem has another had with you 15.4.2b) What solutions have they had for that problem 15.4.3a) What problem has another had with others 15.4.3b) What solutions have they had for that problem 15.5 Incomplete communications The earliest problems came about through fixed ideas that rest firmly on the protest button that we addressed in the previous chapter. But the protest itself comes about because of communication barriers. And so we can also handle problems by addressing stopped communications. 15.5.1a) What is the problem 15.5.1b) What communications have you left incomplete about that problem 15.5.2a) What problem has another had with you 15.5.2b) What communications have they left incomplete about that problem 15.5.3a) What problem has another had with others 15.5.3b) What communications have they left incomplete about that problem 15.6 Responsibility The person is creating their own problems. First run: 15.6.1a) What is the problem 15.6.1b) What part of that problem could you be responsible for And then run: 15.6.2a) What is the problem 15.6.2b) What part of that problem could you admit causing 15.7 Duality Since we are concerned with problems that have two sides in conflict, lets practice spotting two things at a time. Look around the room and spot two objects at a time until you can comfortably hold two things in your mind at once. 15.8 Running both sides Now lets look at the two sided nature of problems. And let's run back chains of problems because the person creates the same problem again and again. This can be run many times, each time taking a problem back down a chain of earlier similar problems until the chain dissolves. Keep running this until you feel freed of the weight of past problems. First spot or recall a problem. Then do the following steps over and over until either the problem dissolves or it seems to be getting more solid or has stopped changing (no new material is coming up). If this happens (becoming more solid or not resolving), then spot an earlier similar problem and run these steps on it. Keep going earlier similar until the entire thing comes apart with real relief. The commands are: a) state or restate the problem b) spot something about one side of the problem c) spot something about the other side of the problem ================= SELF CLEARING CHAPTER 16: MUST HAVE AND CAN'T HAVE When you want something too much, it tends to run away from you. When you want to avoid something too strongly, it tends to seek you out. Think of being in the water and reaching too hard for something so that you make a wave which pushes it away. And then think of pulling back from something so hard that it creates a suction which draws it to you. It is not that you can't like something and get it and have it, it is that you can't crave something and cling to it without getting into trouble. It calls for a lightness of touch rather than desperation. The more desperate you are, the harder it will be. You might say that your energy is behaving in a backwards fashion. Your attempts to draw in what you "must have" and to push away what you "can't have" between them create a sort of unpleasant vacuum. It is similar to the "ridges" formed by the opposing forces of a problem (two things pushing against each other forming a sort of wall) but it is more dynamic in nature with love, fame, and fortune rushing away from you and undesirable things continually landing on your plate. If you can reach a level of acceptance, of being willing to have or not have, if you can like and enjoy without craving and compulsion, if you can be disinterested or walk away from something without rejection and revulsion, then you can rise above this mechanism and dissolve it. That is the real secret of success. That is how to lead a charmed life where good things come your way instead of studiously avoiding you. One of the best ways to break down a "must have" is to visualize wasting the item. Sometimes it might feel like you are feeding things into a vacuum for a few commands. And then the barrier will break down and you will find that its easy to have something if you will give a little bit of it away. Then you can go further by visualizing giving it to others and others giving it to you. We will run this on a number of common "buttons" (a button is something you push or that somebody else pushes on you to bring about a reaction, in other words, a hot topic). In some cases, the item might be one that you are trying to avoid instead of something that you are trying to have. In that case, instead of "wasting" the item, you should run "having more of" the item as the first process (the other processes remain the same). We will discuss that variation further in the next chapter. For now, if one of these seems like something you want to get away from rather than have, use "have more of" instead of "waste" as the first process in the area. 16.1 Money 16.1.1 Visualize (invent and create a mockup) of ways to waste money. Imagine actual physical actions which do waste it. Keep mocking these up one at a time as well as you can until something comes apart or falls away. If the need and craving were really bad, you will often feel warmth and energy (a pleasant sensation) as the barrier falls away. Of course there are a few people who are already in good shape in this area, in which case the result might not be spectacular but simply feeling good after a few commands of this. But note that even many rich people are not in good shape mentally on the subject of money, being trapped by their fortunes. 16.1.2 Note that money is the "energy" of society and it needs to flow freely. Run these alternately: a) visualize giving money to another b) visualize another giving money to you c) visualize another giving money to others 16.1.3 Money is only a medium of exchange. It is only a symbol or a substitution for actual work and possessions. Run these alternately: a) What could money be a substitution for b) What could substitute for money 16.1.4 You need to be free on both accepting and rejecting. So let's run: a) What money could you accept b) What money could you reject Note that you can both accept and reject the same thing (in other words, you could do either one comfortably). 16.1.5 This drill is done by closing your eyes and visualizing clouds of money around your body. Then you take the cloud and push it into the body (don't pull it in, push it in from outside, just visualize this as well as you can). After you do a few commands of this, mocking up a new cloud each time, then you throw the cloud away and have it explode in the distance. Again doing it a few times. Then go back to pushing it in, alternating these two actions back and forth, a few commands of each. If either throwing away the cloud of money or pushing it into the body seems difficult, then do the opposite command a few times (push clouds of money into the body until you can throw them away or throw them away until you can push them in). Begin this drill visualizing dirty and degraded money to start with and later (when you can handle that well) gradually improving the quality until you are mocking up extremely nice money (gold or whatever). It is best if you mockup the stuff in a sphere all around you rather than just in front of you. Do this until you feel really good, and can have or reject money comfortably. 16.1.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city. Preferably one that you have some familiarity with and do not have a great dislike for. Spot accumulations or flows of money within the city. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Initially you might find that these things tend to suck you in or that you have trouble disconnecting. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any difficulty or urge to remain connected. Note that a "greedy soul" between lives can often be lead around by the nose by mocking up some gold in front of him and leading him along behind it. This process should make you immune to silly tricks like that. This entire set of processes should be continued until you can either have or not have money comfortably and do not feel under any compulsion either to get it or to avoid it. If you do feel any craving or compulsion, you should go back and run the above set of processes again. After this, you should find that it is easier to think about money sensibly and that it is less difficult to acquire because you are no longer driving it away by clutching at it too hard. A bit of it might even fall into your lap gratuitously. And you should no longer be trapped by your own greed. 16.2 Sex and Sensation Here we are talking about the sex act as a mechanism of strong pleasure and sensation rather than addressing love and admiration which are much higher level feelings that will be addressed later. We are also talking about strong pleasurable sensations in general and if sex is an inappropriate item (you are too young or whatever), then substitute pleasure or pleasurable sensations in place of sex in the commands. Also, if you are stuck on some drug which gives a powerful feeling of pleasure or ecstasy, then run this entire set of processes on it (using ecstasy or some other appropriate word) either instead of or in addition to running these processes on sex. These are run like the ones in section 16.1 above unless otherwise noted. 16.2.1 Mockup a way to waste sex 16.2.2 a) visualize giving sexual sensation to another b) visualize another giving sexual sensation to you c) visualize helping a prospective partner to have sex with someone else d) visualize helping someone else to have sex with a prospective partner. Note that c) and d) are not meant to mean participation in an orgy, They are meant to be selfless aid of another even though you yourself might desire the prospective partner. Note that this is a bit different from the way we ran money because with sex, either giving or receiving (questions a or b) are both to some degree have for self. You also need to run allowing others to have so that you can really be free in an area. Hence, the need for commands c) and d). 16.2.3 a) What could sex be a substitution for b) What could substitute for sex 16.2.4 a) What sex or pleasurable sensation could you accept b) What sex or pleasurable sensation could you reject 16.2.5 Mockup crowds of sexually desirable bodies around you, either clothed or not, and have them radiate strong sexual sensations at you. Begin with dirty and degraded (but still sexy) ones and gradually work up to ideal ones. Push the crowds into your body a few times and then throw them off into the distance and have them explode a few times alternately as in 16.1.5 above. Note that some mass or object is needed for this process, so that if you are running it on something like ecstasy instead of sex, you should select and mockup and appropriate mass to contain the sensation and radiate it at you. 16.2.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 16.1.6 above. Spot desirable sexual flows and activities. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any difficulty or urge to remain connected. 16.3 Food and Eating We have bodies that, on a mechanical basis, need to eat. Since the need is chronic, it is easy to build up must haves and can't haves in this area. 16.3.1 Mockup a way to waste desirable food 16.3.2 a) visualize giving desirable food to another b) visualize another giving desirable food to you c) visualize another giving desirable food to others 16.3.3 a) What could eating be a substitution for b) What could substitute for eating 16.3.4 a) What desirable food could you accept b) What desirable food could you reject and then also run a) What undesirable food could you accept b) What undesirable food could you reject 16.3.5 Now mockup huge amounts of extremely desirable food surrounding you. Begin with yummy but "degraded" food (whatever you think of this way) and gradually improve the quality. Push them into the body and throw them away as in 16.1.5 above. 16.3.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 16.1.6 above. Spot desirable accumulations of food and crowds of people enjoying eating. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any difficulty or urge to remain connected. 16.4 Work and Jobs Although you might detest working, work and jobs are something that most people need to survive. Here we will use "work" in the process commands because it isn't always a formal salaried job. Housekeeping or going to school or doing charity work or simply having some role or task which one has undertaken and become responsible for are all included in this. Note however that we are aiming this at desirable work rather than drudgery or slave labor. 16.4.1 Mockup a way to waste desirable work 16.4.2 a) visualize giving desirable work to another b) visualize another giving desirable work to you c) visualize another giving desirable work to others 16.4.3 a) What could work be a substitution for b) What could substitute for working 16.4.4 a) What desirable work could you accept b) What desirable work could you reject and then also run a) What undesirable work could you accept b) What undesirable work could you reject 16.4.5 Now mockup clouds of work related objects, whatever seems to represent work for you, beginning with degraded ones and then moving on to better ones. Push them into the body and throw them away as in 16.1.5 above. 16.4.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 16.1.6 above. Spot places with desirable work that you'd enjoy doing. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any difficulty or urge to remain connected. 16.5 Desirable Possessions Here we want to run the kind of stuff that you really would want to have and perhaps can't have. This could be cars or stereos or fancy china or jewelry or whatever. If you have a strong desire for children or pets or even plants or some other special thing, then repeat this entire set of processes again using that. This can also be run on "beautiful things", with the emphasis on the aesthetics of the objects, especially objects of art. 16.5.1 Mockup a way to waste desirable possessions. 16.5.2 a) visualize giving desirable possessions to another b) visualize another giving desirable possessions to you c) visualize another giving desirable possessions to others 16.5.3 a) What could desirable possessions be a substitution for b) What could substitute for desirable possessions 16.5.4 a) What desirable possessions could you accept b) What desirable possessions could you reject and then also run a) What undesirable possessions could you accept b) What undesirable possessions could you reject 16.5.5 Now mockup clouds of desirable possessions, beginning with degraded ones and then moving on to better ones. Push them into the body and throw them away as in 16.1.5 above. 16.5.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 16.1.6 above. Spot accumulations of desirable possessions. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any difficulty or urge to remain connected. 16.6 Love and Admiration The desire for love and admiration is very basic to a being. Desires for fame and/or respect can also be run here. 16.6.1 Mockup a way to waste love and admiration. 16.6.2 a) visualize giving love and admiration to another b) visualize another giving love and admiration to you c) visualize another giving love and admiration to others 16.6.3 a) What could love or admiration be a substitution for b) What could substitute for love or admiration 16.6.4 a) What love could you accept b) What love could you reject and then also run a) What admiration could you accept b) What admiration could you reject 16.6.5 Now mockup crowds of people flowing of love and admiration at you, beginning with degraded people and then moving on to better ones. Push them into the body and throw them away as in 16.1.5 above. 16.6.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 16.1.6 above. Spot activities involving love or admiration. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any difficulty or urge to remain connected. 16.7 Other Areas If there is some other kind of thing that you feel compelled to have but can't seem to get, you can form a set of processes similar to the above to handle it. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate item. 16.7.1 Mockup a way to waste _____. 16.7.2 a) visualize giving _____ to another b) visualize another giving _____ to you c) visualize another giving _____ to others 16.7.3 a) What could _____ be a substitution for b) What could substitute for _____ 16.7.4 a) What _____ could you accept b) What _____ could you reject 16.7.5 Now mockup clouds of _____ or objects that represent _____ around you. Push them into the body and throw them away as in 16.1.5 above. 16.7.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 16.1.6 above. Spot collections of _____, or activities involving _____. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any difficulty or urge to remain connected. ================= SELF CLEARING CHAPTER 17: MUST AVOID AND CAN'T GET RID OF This is the flip side of the MUST HAVE / CAN'T HAVE difficulty discussed in the previous chapter. These are the things that many people feel they MUST AVOID but can't seem to get rid of. When we were handling something that a person Must Have, we had to begin by wasting it to reverse the stuck flow on trying to get it. Once that is knocked out, then we run general processes of accepting and rejecting it to stabilize the person so that he doesn't start the whole mess over again. For something that the person is trying to get rid of which wouldn't go away (and almost seems like he is pulling in on himself), the first process has to be the exact opposite. Since he is compulsively avoiding, he must mockup ways to have more of whatever it is until the stuck point dissolves. Then we do the rest of it exactly the same as we did for a Must Have because the remaining steps get the person to a point where he can accept or reject at will without compulsion. Refer back to section 15.1 in the previous chapter for general information on doing these processes. Again we will work over some common things that people are often avoiding. 17.1 Drudgery Here we are looking at the flip side of desirable work. This is the stuff that the person doesn't want to do and is not interested in doing but is made to do by whatever circumstances. And the more he tries to avoid it, the more it seems to seek him out. 17.1.1 Mockup a way to have more drudgery. 17.1.2 a) visualize imposing drudgery on another b) visualize another imposing drudgery on you c) visualize another imposing drudgery on others 17.1.3 a) What could drudgery be a substitution for b) What could substitute for drudgery 17.1.4 a) What drudgery could you accept b) What drudgery could you reject 17.1.5 Now mockup clouds of things involving drudgery around you. Push them into the body and throw them away as in 15.1.5 above. 17.1.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 15.1.6 above. Spot activities involving drudgery. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any flinch at connecting to them. 17.2 Pain Most people do not like pain. In trying to avoid it they often encounter more. So let's handle this. 17.2.1 Mockup a way to have more pain. 17.2.2 a) visualize giving pain to another b) visualize another giving pain to you c) visualize another giving pain to others 17.2.3 a) What could pain be a substitution for b) What could substitute for pain 17.2.4 a) What pain could you accept b) What pain could you reject 17.2.5 Now mockup clouds of things involving pain around you. Push them into the body and throw them away as in 15.1.5. 17.2.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 15.1.6. Spot people and things involving pain. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any flinch at connecting to them. 17.3 Criticism Another thing that we often try to avoid and can't seem to get away from is criticism. 17.3.1 Mockup a way to receive more criticism. 17.3.2 a) visualize criticizing another b) visualize another criticizing you c) visualize another criticizing others 17.3.3 a) What could criticism be a substitution for b) What could substitute for criticism 17.3.4 a) What criticism could you accept b) What criticism could you reject 17.3.5 Now mockup crowds of critical people around you. Push them into the body and throw them away as in 15.1.5. 17.3.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 15.1.6. Spot activities involving criticism. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any flinch at connecting to them. 17.4 Aggravation Another thing that we often try to avoid and can't seem to get away from is aggravation. 17.4.1 Mockup a way to receive more aggravation. 17.4.2 a) visualize aggravating another b) visualize another aggravating you c) visualize another aggravating others 17.4.3 a) What could aggravation be a substitution for b) What could substitute for aggravation 17.4.4 a) What aggravation could you accept b) What aggravation could you reject 17.4.5 Now mockup crowds of critical people around you. Push them into the body and throw them away as in 15.1.5. 17.4.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 15.1.6. Spot activities involving aggravation. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any flinch at connecting to them. 17.5 Other Areas This can be used for other things that you are trying to avoid. These could be things such as bills or punishments or whatever. Fill in the blanks with the appropriate item. 17.5.1 Mockup a way to have (receive) more _____. 17.5.2 a) visualize giving _____ to another b) visualize another giving _____ to you c) visualize another giving _____ to others 17.5.3 a) What could _____ be a substitution for b) What could substitute for _____ 17.5.4 a) What _____ could you accept b) What _____ could you reject 17.5.5 Now mockup clouds of _____ or objects that represent _____ around you. Push them into the body and throw them away as in 15.1.5. 17.5.6 Now close your eyes and imagine that you are looking down at a large city as in 15.1.6. Spot collections of _____, or activities involving _____. For each one, reach down and connect to it, and then disconnect from it. Continue this until you can reach and let go of these easily without any flinch at connecting to them. ================= SELF CLEARING CHAPTER 18: CAUSE Early on, the being can act and be at cause over things. But sometimes he regrets what he has done and inhibits himself from further action. And sometimes he becomes guilty or ashamed over what he has done and begins to withhold both his communications and himself from others. Eventually the being ends up in a state where he can't act and cannot communicate and is holding himself tightly under control. In this chapter we are not worried about ethics or morality or responsibility or justifications. Those are more advanced topics, because you need to confront doing things first before you can sanely consider what should or shouldn't be done. And its not just crimes or evil deeds that the person is withholding. Areas can shut down to the point where the person is withholding everything in that area, not just bad things but even nice things. So the emphasis here is on spotting any actions and any restraints. As we did with simple communication barriers, our intention here is to knock out the "subconscious" barriers to action. We want an individual to be capable of doing anything without buried inhibitions coming into play. But this does not mean irresponsibility. It simply means that the choices and actions are conscious instead of hidden. Just because you can do anything does not mean that all things are desirable or helpful. As a further reassurance, let me point out that the fact of withholding is one of the strongest factors that causes a being's ethical sense to deteriorate, and that the dark weight of regret leads to further mistakes which the person regrets even more. In other words, there are feedback effects at work here. Our intention is to break out of a declining spiral where the person becomes ever less capable of acting. 18.1 Willing to Do Let's start very simple. As always, these commands are alternated over and over. a) What would you be willing to do. b) What would you be willing to have another do. c) What would you be willing to have others do. 18.2 Willing to Reveal a) What would you be willing to reveal. b) What would you be willing to have another reveal. c) What would you be willing to have others reveal. 18.3 Finding out a) What shouldn't people find out about you b) Who would it be safe to tell that to c) What shouldn't people find out about another d) Who would it be safe for them to tell that to 18.4 The Body Now let's work over some specific areas, beginning with bodies. Each process has two commands run alternately. 18.4.1a) What have you done with your body 18.4.1b) What have you kept yourself from doing with your body 18.4.2a) What has another or others done with their body 18.4.2b) What has another or others kept themselves from doing with their body 18.4.3a) What would you permit another or others to do with their body 18.4.3b) What have you kept another or others from doing with their body 18.4.4a) What could you let others find out about your body 18.4.4b) What have you kept hidden about your body 18.4.5a) What could another or others safely let you find out about their bodies 18.4.5b) What have another or others kept hidden about their bodies 18.5 Sex Note that "involving sex" not only means sexual acts but also sexual relationships and in childhood would include boys teasing girls etc. 18.5.1a) What have you done involving sex 18.5.1b) What have you kept yourself from doing involving sex 18.5.2a) What has another or others done involving sex 18.5.2b) What has another or others kept themselves from doing involving sex 18.5.3a) What would you permit another or others to do involving sex 18.5.3b) What have you kept another or others from doing involving sex 18.5.4a) What could you let others find out about you involving sex 18.5.4b) What have you kept hidden about yourself involving sex 18.5.5a) What could another or others safely let you find out about themselves involving sex 18.5.5b) What have another or others kept hidden about themselves involving sex 18.5 Family This could be parents, relatives, spouses, children, or even members of a close knit commune that you are a part of.

Note that you should use a general form ("a wife") rather than your specific wife right now in case their are earlier similar things that might need to come up. 18.5.1a) What have you done involving family 18.5.1b) What have you kept yourself from doing involving family 18.5.2a) What has another or others done involving family 18.5.2b) What has another or others kept themselves from doing involving family 18.5.3a) What would you permit another or others to do involving family 18.5.3b) What have you kept another or others from doing involving family 18.5.4a) What could you let others find out about you involving family 18.5.4b) What have you kept hidden about yourself involving family 18.5.5a) What could another or others safely let you find out about themselves involving family 18.5.5b) What have another or others kept hidden about themselves involving family 18.6 Work This is the area of work and jobs and group activities where you have some responsibility to get something done.

So if there is a particular kind of person or thing or area that is giving you real difficulty, fill it in the blanks and run this set of processes against it. You can also run this on other general areas such as lifeforms or possessions or spirits or religion or even (for the advanced student or on a second pass) on creation and destruction. 18.9.1a) What have you done involving _____ 18.9.1b) What have you kept yourself from doing involving _____ 18.9.2a) What has another or others done involving _____ 18.9.2b) What has another or others kept themselves from doing involving _____ 18.9.3a) What would you permit another or others to do involving _____ 18.9.3b) What have you kept another or others from doing involving _____ 18.9.4a) What could you let others find out about you involving _____ 18.9.4b) What have you kept hidden about yourself involving _____ 18.9.5a) What could another or others safely let you find out about themselves involving _____ 18.9.5b) What have another or others kept hidden about themselves involving _____ 18.10 The General Version Once enough specific areas have been run, you can finish this up with a general (non-specific) run to pick up any loose ends. 18.9.1a) What have you done 18.9.1b) What have you kept yourself from doing 18.9.2a) What has another or others done 18.9.2b) What has another or others kept themselves from doing 18.9.3a) What would you permit another or others to do 18.9.3b) What have you kept another or others from doing 18.9.4a) What could you let others find out about you 18.9.4b) What have you kept hidden about yourself 18.9.5a) What could another or others safely let you find out about themselves 18.9.5b) What have another or others kept hidden about themselves 18.11 Forgiveness of Past Existence Of course you might have run some past life material on the above processes. It was neither encouraged nor discouraged. But here we are interested in things that are out of your conscious recall but perhaps sitting in the background just out of sight. We have all existed for a long long time and have done just about everything good and bad. Most of it is buried out of sight even on people who remember many of their past lives. The key to really blowing this apart is forgiveness, for in forgiving others you forgive yourself as well. Here we are not limiting the question to things that you remember doing or even to things that you actually did. Imagination and speculation are quite valid here and you might even need to say something that you really never did do just to get it off of your plate. This is the big one and you should push it to a major feeling of relief and freedom. a) What terrible thing might you have done b) Imagine being forgiven for that c) What terrible thing might another or others have done to you d) Decide (as best you can) that you forgive them for that e) What terrible thing might another have done to another or others f) Imagine that their victims have forgiven them for that If you work over every horrible thing you have heard of or can dream up, you might be able to reach a Christ-like state of total forgiveness. But that might be too much to expect on a first pass, in which case it can be left for a second run through this book. ================= -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAgUBNJkoKMsIt3ZgVQbNAQFmFgP+IrxmTgiphZIPdqBRd7rVxFrVLtEk5Fys hVW/kpqkoKVQPLu38Eckq4syhsTQlssscGrMqHiIb4tAKE2AxBySXY6lgIMigeNa qUVFqeZ2Aef3arfuhBsYaqM6ygmMBa2LhUwBeNuTUyy7T4DO0r8VGLXvM1gNBKYa W6yfpua6aXs= =m4rR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
