I hope this note will help someone down the road avoid the mistake I was making with RI, and can see how simple it can be for the purposes of having a successful timebreaking session.
The mistake I was making was that I presented the creation to my mind for processing and not simply put it all around me as an exercise. Thanks to feedback from fellow trommers, I have more certainty and attention to actually put the item around my physical space and not in my head - not in my mind for my mind to process. It is now simply an exercise. I am exercising command power over my mind. *I* am doing the exercise (technically one could say my current valence is doing the exercise, and it suffices for now). Starting off the RI exercise using six directions (front/back, top/bottom, left/right) helps me ensure I really put the object(s) in my actual space around me, compared with how I was doing it for a long time. To keep it simple I choose an object in my room - nothing fancy - a lamp will do. I hold the object (or multiples of the object, for example, three lamps) in six directions and then add more so the objects (i.e., all the lamps I created) are all around me; alternatively, I can make one larger object and put it all around me holographically (i.e., a very large version of the lamp). I do the same for "another", choosing some object they might have in their space. I don't get into any psychological aspects ... I just want to keep it simple and get onto timebreaking. Either way does the job. I feel stress coming off, it's relaxing, and I feel positive I'm ready to start the timebreaking. Thank you fellow trommers for straightening me out on this with your feedback. Note: I'm not denying there are a lot of fun and interesting things one can do with RI. For example, I did recently post how I was using extended RI to create something from the ground up, and that was more a hobby and not related to a timebreaking session. colleen
