Ok, so there have been these comments about the PROCESS... folks tell me there is so much talk about this and that "work" and they feel left out... I can understand this... i guess I have been telling some stories that may make some feel "inadequate"... so, how bout if I share one technique for "finding things"?. this is a simple one, and we all do it already, to some degree.... I take it for granted, after all these years... but here goes.... You know the feeling of losing a tack on the floor? You know, the clear kind that are hard to see? Let's say you want your mind to "read" the ground and find it, but know there isn't enough available light to consciously "see" the tack.... Here's what you do, you picture it in your mind. Try it. Next time you lose a contact, or a pin, or the channel changer, or measuring tape among the lumber in a project... or try to find something in the mess of your car trunk, try this, ENVSION IT IN YOUR MIND ... do this very gently, don't force... just let the image appear in your mind... and turn it around, back and forth, while you scan th earea where you are searching. Works like a charm.... REALLY. This technique helped me find a contact lost by a friend in a dusty field. I scanned the 20 square feet of space where we all were playing touch football. Nobody could see the contact... the dust had settled, and the grime of the dirt had covered all but 1% of the glass. I sanned and envisioned the contact in my mind, I could see it reflecting off the sun... then my eyes settled on an area and I waited, I knew it was close... gradually it came into focus, hidden mostly by dirt...... There is another technigue similar to this, but completely the opposite, for reaching the subconscious memory. First, some foundation information; everything that the eyes see gets registered in the mind, beyond thought. Once you see it, or set it down, a portion of your mind knows where it is. Whether it is your cell phone, a lost purse, or a channel changer, you can reach that area of mind by envisioning the item internally.... Once you have the inner picture, just erase the image and go to automatic action... This technique takes practice. once I lost my G harmonica... this was the first time I tried this, by the way. 20 years back (these days, I use this technigue almost daily)... we were on the way to a gig, and I had to find the G ahrp quick, but I had searched and searched for it... and I was completely frustrated. A BIG CLUE; frustration never helps the mind help you. So... I left the frustration out of the equation aand first showcased the missing harp in my mind's eye... then I walked out of the room... and in front of friends, I blanked my mind, turned around,and walked right back in and reached where my mind suggested, there it was!..... an advanced version of this is to get that parking space in the area of town where you need to find parking, on the way there (driving) , gently nudge you r mind about the inner purpose of your journey. See the empty space happen, in your mind's eye... that is, envision a person leaving a parking stall right as you drive up to your destination, or see your self parking without any trouble... do this periodically as you drive. gently, none force... and let your inner hearing get the re-inforcement that "a parking space will flow open with ease" or some similar affirmation.. gently, non-force. With any of these technigues, make no show if they work. Let them be natural, since they are... and if they do not work, accept the results equally. You are traingin your mind to work on your behalf. By contacting distant events/ allowance of unfoldment, you integrate these avenues with each attempt... yet, the word attempt is, in itself too much force. .... Let's say you have a sense of purpose for meeting someone. You have to allow their choice, and not yours, is the most important portion of the process. you can't put that on th etimeline. Having a purpose positive, or resolution orientated, is the best way to get results. See beauty unfold, and let the time come forward most appropriate. Today, I ran into my friend Erin. I had been envisioning that one gently for the past 2 weeks. Becuase of the distance I was from town, and because of my odd schedule, I let our hearts meet with each time I visited the visual idea. And that was complete in itself. Now, the day for me arriving into town was sunny and bright... I carried out my errands and then returned to the town center to see some other firends. And there was Erin's SUV. but, no hurry, I had other destination on that block... I fufilled those, then questioned my inner mind, "where is she, which place on this street today?" A series of ideas came... and I tried the first one... there she was! no force, a tender hug, some uplifitng words and we parted. The meeting was as much business in process as anything. all was accomplished in less than 8 minutes. She was on her way soemwhere, so was I... no force. But the infinity inside the warmth of her hug... that lasted the whole day after that... and so it goes..... Another versino of this, is to send thoughts and ideas, and heart felt love to long distant friends and family by envisioning them in the heart, and then letting that moment be warm presence... then let it go. See if their reply doesn't show up soon after! How do you know their reply? Well, with a little practice, you can tell the difference between thought/impressions that arise out of you and others that have signitures of other minds/hearts. Notice the difference. the trick, if you want to call it that, is towards non-force, and emptiness. concsider the reasons you want to send that wave in their direction. The fastest impulses are love-based. Try it and you will see. you can contact anyone from your innermost heart... far better than telepathy. So there. that's a few. More to come... rmember, the reason these are presented here, is because folks have told me they feel left out. Once you try these a few times, find your own style and you will eventually see that you have already been doing a version of these naturally in your automatic thought process. All that you need to consider is the intention and the purpose for getting a refined version of what you already do. How can you use these skills and help build more beauty? that's the key... any other reason is useless. forget about the folks who wish each other harm. If you want to try shielding yourself, see yourself engulfed in a "tube of light" from earth to sky. Let the center be white light and cover that with blue and rose.... or just realize that any enemy who wished harm on you will get a thousand times reflected back upon themselves if you do not do their dance... notice your core light... and find grace their. I guess I could learn from this one, right now today... the best way to defeat an enemy is to reply with love. There yo go.... enough to keep you busy... so it goes. Brought to you by the complainers. Let's all thank them for the idea of sharing technigues... have any? leave them as a comment... we'll check them out. ... by the way, this is Earth Mover IV. Notice the stillness in his hearet/mind while he dances. Notice the shift of energy from the front to the back of him... the idea is that he meets the rain of opposition, and glides through it, re-energizing it and amplifying through his intent. While dancing his dance, he "moves the earth" with his intent. Hence the name, "Earth Mover"... painted in 1990 by me, and sold to Lou and Joy... they still owe me a medicine shirt and a hundred bucks... oh well... I am just grateful for all the excellent prayer ceremonies they have held in it's presence... in a sense, I felt like I was there...and so it goes.
