Hi Colleen,
This all sounds really great. You are attacking directly what the
mind really is and how it is made. It is a conglomeration of
importances from the mundane to the really serious, painful,
unconscious, don't ever let that happen again, past events. This
goes above and beyond what TROM handles. You are actually learning
what it takes to make a mind. Everything in the mind does not have
to be painful, unconscious events. There can be all of those stuck
biases, prejudices and simple decisions as to what one must have and
must not have. Those simple mundane things such as types of food can
become subconscious compulsions too and they certainly do. They
become one's habits and ways of acting all of the time.
Having that knowledge and understanding of what one is doing that
creates one's mind, just the simple mechanics opens one up to a true,
thorough and complete freedom. One's ability climbs to infinity as
they are capable of employing any and all of their abilities to any
and all situations. Nothing is ever the same any more for certainly
one never acts the same any more for all situations that one can
encounter in life. One is no longer a programmed automaton when it
comes to living life. Life is no longer rote responses. One is
living life to its fullest.
The compulsions, 'ALL' compulsions of the mind are now vanished. One
can now always be right-handed or always tie their shoes the same by
decision, by their own determination and know that they have
determined that because there is always the sense of being cause for
every action, every moment, every breath. There is a real sense of
really living.
Paul, keep on TROMming

I'd been meaning to post this and seeing Theresa's post encouraged
me. Just remember, I fall into the category of compulsive games
player - quite compulsive, however since I began doing RI everyday
for a couple of hours (until no more change -- yes that's how long
it takes, sob) I'm starting to learn about my mind. Here is
something I recently learned while trying to do RI.
I (or my mind?) felt like "No Importance" -- I could not round up a
good importance - no interest. So I created the importance of no
importance and put "that" all around me. It was basically black
screens or swirls of blackness all around me and my mind
immediately went "Aaaaaahhhhhhh, that feels good" so I kept it up
until no more change. "Change" for me is the mind brings up past
scenes -- they kind of flick by quickly because I don't stop to
timebreak and continue with the RI.
I could stop to timebreak but I find that in my condition at least
it gets confusing and I find I can make a note of it and go back
and timebreak later.
So each morning, each session I first look at what's going on in my
mind and seek to parallel that. Getting real good at RI alone will
help a person temporarily quiet their mind and they get great
comfort knowing they are not going to "lose it" anymore.
I can say for myself that after doing RI devotedly since September
8 (and almost no timebreaking) I will never again dismiss it as not
important. Also, at first I was very interested in the content of
the RI -- the changes, the "insights" -- why yesterday I wrote a
whole outline on how the educational system should change -- while
RI'ing a child creating a drawing.
That's all fun, but what you are really going for is when there is
no more change and you are simply putting a happy child creating a
drawing all around you -- the mind quiet.
I am going into session right after I "send" this and right now I
see my mind is in a somewhat sad mood and so I have to determine
accordingly what I am going to give it as an importance, so I am
always sure to consciously do what it is doing -- I can create sad
things too. Anyway, I'm still on a learning curve, so don't quote
me, please. Your mileage may vary and you may be smarter or in
better case shape.
