The calm, clear place If you can keep your head when all
about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you . . .
- Rudyard Kipling
Pursue not the outer entanglements, dwell not
in the inner world void. Be serene in the oneness of things, and dualism vanishes by
itself.
from "On Trust in the Heart" by Seng-t'san (d. 606)
Your questions are:
Am I
now in the calm, clear place?
If you get yes, stop and enjoy it.
Clinical depression stops
instantly |
If you get no:
Can
I now go to the calm, clear place?
If you get a no, ask:
Is
there something I need to do before I go to the calm, clear place?
If you get yes, you'll have to channel what that is. If, for
example, you test that you need to use the toilet, you may find that as you sit down on
the toilet, you suddenly arrive at the calm, clear place. So then you would
retest:
Am I
now in the calm, clear place?
The signal is a confirmation.
If you got a yes when you asked if you could go to the calm, clear place:
Say (and do):
I now bring myself to the calm, clear place. When my finger opens
or moves, I am there.
Have you arrived in the calm, clear
place?
Notice how you feel.
- Is there a difference?
- Do sounds sound different?
- Do objects look different, more beautiful? Cleaner?
- Can you smell smells you did not previously perceive?
- What's it like to touch something?
- Any other differences you can detect?
- Any you can't detect? (You'll only know the answer to this if you test it.)
Now test: .
Is this dependable? Can I depend on myself to
go to the calm, clear place any time I want?
Will I sometimes have to actually remove, install, or discover something in
order to get to the calm,clear place?
Now if you're getting answers on your fingers and you're starting to
realize, "Hey, there is somebody talking to me here" -- fine.
from the audio talk "Would you like to
know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, how wonderful you are? Save someone's life"
Now ask:
Am I still in the calm, clear place?
Once you're there, ask (test each of these things separately):
Am I more:
- alert?
- confident?
- powerful?
- relaxed?
- assertive?
- unflappable?
- unstoppable?
- interested?
- involved?
- committed?
- grounded?
- happy?
- creative?
- compassionate?
- silly?
- light-hearted?
- open?
- accepting?
- determined?
- strategic?
- trusting?
- timely?
- in the present?
- diplomatic?
- goofy?
- witty?
- flexible?
- real?
- free
of stress?
- unattached?
- self-directed?
- bold?
- friendly?
- forward-moving?
- free?
- natural?
- spontaneous?
- fast?
- competent?
- inventive?
- objective?
- focused?
- caring?
- in the lead?
- willing to plan?
Do I experience more:
- health?
- time?
- wealth?
- love?
- happiness?
- freedom from worry?
- synchronicity?
What we've given you above are examples of how you get to the calm, clear
place. It's really a two-step process:
- One, you get yourself there.
- Two, you notice you're there -- notice what it's like.
You hang out there. You see, discover, teach yourself, come to know what
it is to be in the calm, clear place. It really is a place. When you arrive here,
it's unmistakable.
Obviously there are degrees of calm and clear
You will find - or anyway we did - that as you RIK, the calm, clear place you are
experiencing right now will deepen and expand.
If you still seem to be refusing to get to the calm, clear
place, always ask:
Is there something I
need to remove, install, or know/discover?
You will probably find it somewhere in this Cure College.
You'll be able to find it by running your finger down any table of
contents - for example, this one, or maybe this one -or going to the Hub and testing which skill it's in, going into the
skill, and testing which lesson it's in.
Now test:
Am I in the
calm, clear place?
If you got a yes,
Congratulations!
Remember what Frannie said in the introductory
area?
"We feel that belief comes from experience. And if you can experience for yourself that this does one
thing we tell you it will do - that is, bring yourself to the calm, clear
place in seconds, anywhere, anytime, dependably - you will then open yourself up to the
possibility that it does all the things we say it does - here are a few - and prove those to yourself too,
one by one."
Now, let's look at some of the pitfalls.
