I at first was drawn more to similarities between objects on L2. I had to work at seeing differences between objects that also had similar qualities. At very least they were in separate locations, being beside each other. Run until no more change.
Well done for putting in the 40 hours! Level 3 will run better for you, knowing you can always unstick something in a past incident by doing Level 2. Smart to be careful to run enough RI - takes most of the suffering out of clearing work. Yes, sometimes if my mind is stuck on a current importance, going to town with it, then RI can be slow and seems almost non-productive. I don't know if this is correct, but at times like that I find it's best to face my fears and create more of it and put it all around me until the mind has had enough to go quiet and be in a "happy place". For example, when I was working on my fear of spiders which became severe while working outdoors, I didn't really want to do this but after some days of suffering I felt the best solution would be to create more and more and more spiders of all sorts and put them all around me (shudder!). I started by creating silly, harmless, funny spiders, working up to the really scary part about spiders. (I also timebroke a related childhood incident after enough RI.) Doing consciously and deliberately what the mind was doing. When the mind is really worked up about something then focusing on my breathing helps before I start doing RI. I'm operating on the theory that the mind considers such fears/aversions "havingness of a problem" so I give it a surfeit of the problem it seems to be obsessed on. Not my favorite sort of RI but it does work for me.... going complementary with the mind. So I say I'm unhappy because of a current scene so I create the importance of that scene not existing, to something I prefer, and I also create more and worse of that scene that I'm currently unhappy with. Whatever works, i.e., lots of clean sinks, lots of dirty sinks. Has anyone done RI, creating the importance of a "quiet mind" and putting that all around them? Pretty cool :-)) Colleen
