Guest guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 Dear Group; The following is something I used to help me deal with obstacles on a daily basis. I have not shown it to many people. It is part of a larger structure in the form of map of the mind of a Seeker. References are made to other branches because the map is drawn as a tree. I made a deal with God that if I got out of the depression I was in with this structure I would find a way to give it to other people. Someone on the list might find it interesting. Yours truly, Bob G. Protective Bubble (Flower)-Government-Bad Vibes-Misinformation-Triggers-Pleasure-Aversion-Culture-Other's Anger-Intimidation-Pushiness-Clothes-Preparing to Cloak--Dualism-First-"I" and Universe-Second-Being and Dying-Third-Body and Mind-Fourth-Persona and Shade-Chemical Keys-Apathy-Interior-Self Pity-Brooding-Language-Conceit-Distractions-Identifying With the Abstract Past-"I" Construct -Who am I ?-Cloaking-Ineffectiveness-Fatigue: Visualizing a Protective Bubble blocks all the suggested categories Inner and Outer. Government involvement as an authority figure, Bad Vibes, and Misinformation can easily disrupt daily routines. Visualize an amber tear or steel ball that seals shut around one with a resounding clack or clang. This acts as refuge that repels and protects. A quick breath and a resonance in the heart and a sigh of relaxation follows. When Misinformation threatens, the Protective Bubble will throw up a flag in the Seekers mind to inspect this carefully. The difficult part is ripping things like Self-Pity, Fatigue, and Brooding from the heart. It takes several minutes of effort to get all the tentacles free from the various parts of the body and mind. The things that Trigger the Seeker to fall prey to misconceptions about what are Pleasure, Aversion, and assumptions based on Cultural Acceptance can be effectively blocked. As in the case of Misinformation suspicious material will cause a flag to go up if the seeker is safe in the Protective Bubble. It is then that they can be blocked or not (See The Urge to be Perverse on Original Sin on the Physical Branch). Other's Anger bounces off. Intimidation by Pushiness from people, especially people who are usually treated well because they wear expensive Clothes will not cause the Seeker to alter the appropriate course once set upon.- Every day the Seeker will have incidents occur where success will breed into Conceptualization (See Fluctuations on Mental Branch) and fantasy about future success. Or failure will breed into fantasy about future failure. Preparing to Cloak is preparing to meet a future event that we imagine might happen. I imagine what I will do if a dog tries to bite me. I will hit it with a rock and try to kill it. Visualizing the event produces chemical keys (See Protective Bubble on the Mental) that affect my body-mind complex. This is Preparing to Cloak oneself in an image for an event that is not happening. The excuse is to be prepared but in truth one is better prepared without losing control of the production of chemical keys in the body. To fall prey to this is a form of Cloaking and it is easier to heed the flag that the Protective Bubble throws up when Preparing to Cloak than to Uncloak (See Uncloaking on Emotional Branch).-Dualism is the beginning of Man's problems. All the problems stem from the First Dualism. The Seeker really believes he is separate from the Universe. To have the thought that the Universe is one thing and therefore everyone is part of it does not address the problem. The feeling of separation is acute. Without an identity there to be separate it would not be a problem. Identifying with the instrument of seeing is the cause of the First Dualism. (Identify instead with the Consciousness). The First Dualism leads to the Second, which is Being and Dying. The Universe won't die but the instrument of seeing will. Fear of death is a real test for the Protective Bubble. Belief in any religion has this requirement. Many people conquer this fear and put themselves in harm's way for the sake of their religion. Immanent death is different and the Self will provide comfort. The Third Dualism is the separation of Body and Mind. The mind seems to own the body. Again, having the thought or idea that this is not so is not enough. When the Mind and Body are one the Seeker is functioning at peak level in the here and now. The passing moment is apparent. The Seeker is on the razor path of Involution (See Involution on Ego on Mental Branch). The Persona and Shade are aspects to a mind that is split from the body. Their split causes the Fourth Dualism. The Persona is the part of the Ego it admits to and the Shade is the part it doesn't. The Seeker is visualizing residing in an amber Protective Bubble that will keep out all howling wolves. Healing will come by doing the project before one while residing in the heart. The Fourth Dualism is not a place to dwell and remain inactive. Apathy itself can be extracted. Use the technique described above for inner protection if the Apathy is in place. It is better to do it earlier than later. Chemical Keys can be cellular signals from the Endocrine System such as hormones. Neurons in the brain accept these chemicals and the Seeker feels the effects immediately. Elimination can be time consuming. Many times the Ego will instigate the flow of these chemicals into the bloodstream by thinking and fantasizing. Adrenaline rushes into the body when a fight is imagined. The body reacts the same way when the Ego fantasizes sex as when sex is occurring. All foods contain Chemical Keys. Since Chemical Keys are among the most difficult challenges to regulate the Seeker will eat properly or pay the price. - Fatigue is on the Inner Branch of the Protective Bubble. Fatigue is a State of mind. The body will believe what the mind believes. It can be extracted with the technique above. - Language is a set of symbols and symbols block Intuition. The point is to use Language and not be a victim of it. Conceit will be flagged and the Seeker can deal with it. The Distractions can be avoided or overcome with Visualization. There are only nine Distractions (See Distractions on the Beingness Branch of the Emotional). - The Self is real in the here and now. Consciousness is real in the here and now. The Seeker is part of an automaton (See Memory on the Mental). He or She is an "I" Construct because the Consciousness wearing the Intelligence face (See Consciousness on Mental) misidentifies The I Amness face of the Consciousness with the body mind complex (The instrument of seeing). This is Identifying with the Abstract. It will be flagged by the Protective Bubble and the Seeker given the opportunity to identify with Consciousness. (See Who Am I on the Ego Branch and Self Study on the Mental.) - The Seeker as an abstract is residing in an abstract Protective Bubble because the task of eliminating subliminal traits or activators requires instituting subliminal traits or activators to counter them. At some point along the involutionary path (See Involution on the Ego Branch) such visualizing will not be necessary. - Ineffectiveness is a state of mind like Luck (See Luck on the Emotional). It can be extracted. Cloaking is the taking of a self-image. The Protective Bubble will flag it. (See Preparing to Cloak). - The Seeker should add an item to the Protective Bubble to start it in motion. Pruning (Flower)- Thoughts as Leaves-Discarding-Nurturing: Pruning is a way of eliminating annoying memories. The Seeker visualizes the thought on a leaf of the branch with which the thought is associated. The leaf containing the thought is Discarded with some force toward the ground exploding on contact. Feeling the force of the exploding destruction is part of the visualizing. A quick breath and resonance in the heart and sigh follows. Pruning Thoughts as Leaves is not meant to deny a part of oneself. It is to take control. Nurturing branches to increase ideas on a branch is possible by visualizing watering, loving, and singing. The traumatic repression of memory is different from having the ability to put something from your mind to concentrate. The choice is to put up with embarrassing or annoying thoughts, allowing them presence to try to find their source, or to put them aside for the time being (nothing is forgotten) to organize one's life. The discarded leaf on the map is the thought of Resisting Meditation.
