Hi Colleen,

Sounds like you are really having fun.

Keep on TROMmoing, Paul

Hello, Paul,

Yes, it is beautiful the way the two processes work for a being. Negative gain balanced with positive gain. The only fault is mine in not consistently doing both. I'll go along good for a few days, then get complacent in the work because I'm so keyed out, and allow myself to get caught up with other interests (read "importances"). That of course is an open invitation to get keyed in (the next layer of the onion dramatizing itself). This is also due to being one of those "repressed/inhibited" cases that Dennis refers to -- I just don't see it coming and so do not deal with it until my TA gets really jacked up.

The key-in however is good in that the misery forces me to get back to doing the work, which always results in a very nice key-out. There is case gain, a letting go of prior importances which is nothing but miraculous, considering that I've lived with these ways of being unconsciously most of my life. They just seem normal until I'm forced to finally confront them. When I'm keyed out (cheerful) I seem to become delusional about my remaining case. Mary Freeman says the formula for delusion is "to fall on your head", which is what always happens.

So, now I see this pattern of doing, then not doing the clearing work. It's very spotty and of course I love beating myself up for being complacent and slacking off.

To handle this, yesterday I assigned the condition of confusion, followed the formula and went all the way up to enemy and saw from the awareness of awareness viewpoint. "Find out who you really are". That lasted a few hours until the next key-in (another stuck importance). Have to admit I did not take the ethics cycle beyond Enemy, which was silly. Not even sure if confusion was the lowest of my condition, but I don't really know the formulas for anything below confusion. At this point I will proceed with the next higher condition, Doubt, adapting the formula.

Now, I'm beginning to understand why early Christian devotees would flagellate themselves. But you said it best:

          Yes, we have created the only thing that can
          possibly hold back consciousness, we have
          created our own personal mind.  Only God is
          capable of holding God back with his creation
          of his own personal mind.

Colleen
