Reclaim Your Real Life with These Four Steps...

1) React: An event occurs and a reaction comes up. The reaction is actually the touch of the Divine, but instead I'm seized and it's claimed by an identity that appears in the same moment of the reaction, which gives me a sense of certainty about what has happened. Work instead to be a "reaction watcher."

2) Reclaim: In the moment of the reaction, reclaim my attention. Usually it's stolen mechanically because I don't know what else to do other than give myself over to the flood of thoughts and feelings derived from the identity in order to substantiate the reaction. I must be the observer of the reaction, not the servant of the "I" it produces.

3) Release: Now that I am present to all the parts of the reaction, I can see the nature that's reacting. As I stand in that attention, I release everything that has come into the moment before it's consolidated into a set of actions that carry me away.

4) Remain: I'm going to stay in this place where I'm aware of the higher and lower at the same time. This is the purpose of the soul, to bridge these worlds. Now there's the beginning of a new kind of purity, where a new birth is taking place.
