>>I have been welcoming the posts about games, both complementary and
>>non-complementary. Here is how this reading is shifting my viewpoints:
>>
>>Only from my own subjective experience am I writing. Right now I am reaching
>>for -- and moving towards -- unconditional love, absolute impartiality.
>>
>>However, I do like to play a lighthearted "non-complementary" game, but as
>>soon as I realize that the other party is much more serious about playing
>>that game than I am, I go into a no-games, because I know that I, at this
>>stage, will only succeed in dragging me back into overts and motivators,
>>etc., and that I have already committed an overt by causing one to experience
>>something that they are not willing to take lightly: I wanted to play
>>"bumper cars" and bumper cars looked very serious. Non-complementary. Worse,
>>distraction from finer games, or, in scientologese, "Dev-T".
>>
>>For example, a finer game - postulated problem of creating the foundations
>>of a cleared civilization. How much perfect harmony among "Masterminds" is
>>needed to pull that one off?
>>
>>In all of my down-the-wholetrack sessions with R3x, repeatedly the overt
>>against myself and others was simply that I got too serious. The freedom is
>>that I do not have to do this anymore, don't currently have a taste for it.
>>Can I still get provoked? More interested in playing with the concept of
>>unconditional love. But, the answer is "Yes", thus I exercise myself in
>>preparation for Level 5 cycling through.
>>
>>So, I am not in unconditional love (calibrates at 540 on David Hawkins LOC,
>>which can be done by e-metering), but more in a lower band of neutrality and
>>acceptance, but that is much better than where I was.
>>
>>Trom, power processes, sedona method, and MY INTENTIONS, MY REACH, is what
>>brings me the nine-fold gains.
>>
>>Intention and reach is senior to any dogma one chooses to adopt.
>>
>>Trom list members sometimes ask why TROM is not more well known. Well, where
>>is the perfect harmony of some "Masterminds" to bring this about?
>>
>>I know a group with lower tech, but much more harmony, complementariness, and
>>much more widespread, helping many more people.
>>
>>Okay, Apple computers, some say, had the better tech, but IBM had the better
>>and larger Market agreements established. I'm not compelling anyone to play
>>either game represented by this awkward example. It is an ancient polarity
>>game.
>>
>>Even in my own small select group here in Connecticut, the four of us
>>trommers, we have yet to handle our minds and come up to that level of
>>PERFECT HARMONY to be able to sustain a perfectly complementary game re TROM
>>and resolving the apparency of a problem of an apparent stuck flow re TROM.
>>
>>Pete, with his confessed high TA, etc., is the ONLY ONE I know on this list
>>who exhibits the patience and love and tolerance and complementary attitude
>>-- and look at what he alone has contributed...just look, I don't need to say
>>more.
>>
>>No one on this list has presented any experiential knowledge, or "his-story"
>>that I did not already likewise know about, and even more than anyone on this
>>list has ever spoken up about. I am not the only one who can say this about
>>themselves. It is of no importance.
>>
>>Two days ago I had run on me one of the Power Processes and I ran off the
>>shame of being a "Nothing", dropping all the stories. Even telling you this
>>is a "her-story".
>>
>>Pride is very very "floating" and quickly attaches itself to even the most
>>sublime realizations. Beware, loved ones. And I welcome your loving
>>corrections.
>>
>>Thank you, Pete, for all of your loving corrections
>>
>>The lightness grows on this list. I can see the changes among ourselves.
>>
>>signing off as me, dropping the stories
