See that you are caged by resistance, reactions and distractions that seek to avoid any kind of empty feeling. Agree to enter into the "big empty" and see that the avoiding nature is filled with unconscious resistance. The more empty you are willing to be the more you will understand the nature that wants to fill the emptiness with the noise of self.
When an "I-ling" starts to turn into an "I-fling" by drawing you into its fling with negativity, work to step out of the passive role and into a properly active role so that a new, higher will can be expressed. Begin by seeing "it" -- the state itself -- for what it is, as something that's trying to bring you into its world.
Experience what it means to be S.A.F.E. when strong feelings and beliefs come up: Stop - Attend - Feel - Enact. Stop: In a moment when you are overtaken by strong feelings such as resentment or anger, come to an interior stop. Don't be taken away by the inclination and its reaction. Attend: See how strong feelings prompt the mind to tell you what the moment means, and choose to...
We have no choice but to repeat in life what we don't complete in life. When a disturbance comes, work to complete the moment by seeing 'the pair' -- the unreconciled part of you (passive force) and the event it has attracted (active force) in order to be reconciled and harmonized...
Remove and Replace the old 'I' with an awareness of 'I Am.' Anytime you feel a contraction of, for instance, indignation, disappointment, or even pride, notice the instantaneous surge of a strong sense of self that comes with it. Remember that this sensation comes from...
Identify a few places in your life where you know a disturbance is coming -- for example, when someone doesn't smile at you, or you need to make a call to tech support. Then be watchful, and when the moment comes notice how something starts talking to you -- the door opens and a "reactoid" is there at your doorstep. Instead of identifying with the part of you that resists the initial impression...
Exercise: Spend time deliberately looking at something and feeling what you see. You will need to be empty, not allowing anything within you to change what you see. Then work to see what you feel, which requires that you be active in the moment. You can't separate pure seeing from pure feeling. In this act of double attention, where the active and passive worlds are married, you let the Divine...
Exercise: At the first sign of a 'runaway horse' in you, follow these four steps as you work to remand the appearance of your emotions over to a part of you that knows how to integrate and hold them in your awareness...
Exercise: When you begin to feel pain over something, become conscious of the nature that is suffering and what it is suffering over. Work to 'put on the coat' so that you can begin to change your relationship to the suffering. Agree to consciously suffer for who you are becoming, not for who you have been or hope to be, because you understand your suffering is meant to transform you.
Exercise: See that when you are in a negative state, you have fallen into a 'pit.' Realize that the nature that led you into the pit cannot possibly lead you out of it, and any plan your mind formulates for escape is like pulling on a rope that goes nowhere. The way out of the pit is to be present long enough to hear the rescuing voice from above the pit which reveals the true way out. Your jo...
Exercise: 'Give the first taste to the king.' There is no moment in which we are not being fed impressions from life. Anytime you feel a contraction as an impression strikes you, work to be aware so that you don't grab the first reaction that it brings. Instead allow the impression to be met by the 'king' within you which knows what is true higher food and what is not. Let the king have the fi...
Exercise: In any moment when you are filled with dread or apprehension about what you know you must do, or when you know that you are about to enter into a highly reactive moment, deliberately go in as a witness to the moment. When you know something in you wants to run counter to the moment, and you choose not to bring that 'I' into the moment with you, you are given an awareness of that self...
