Trom (The Resolution of Mind)

Yes I believe that is creating the others postulate (pan-determining it). I would try and make postulates you don't want, or both the wanted and unwanted.

"Have Another Create an Importance"

A mother creating a child as an importance

- IP of more help vs less help
- Yawns

No more change and felt the only importance was simply to be complementary as possible

RI, My Mind

The change up that I've been walking around marvelling about is the consistency with which I am aware that, in spite of apparencies, all is "self-to-self".   I feel a resentment towards someone?   I realize it is me against me, and I see an incident from the past before there were bodies or much matter.   I wanted to create a persistent dream so I had to create a split, thus the barrier as described above.  I rail against the barrier and then I gnaw on myself too and have carried these non-life inclinations all the way to present time.   Yes, there were also the life goals of To Know and To be Known on this playing field, but the consideration of force entered into it early on and I could only operate on a limited basis as long as the ancient self-destructive postulates went uresolved.

I see a wall or barrier somehow composed of the postulates "must not know/must not be known," and a lot of feelings, emotions, and thoughts associated with that.   I am on both sides of that wall, however I don't know that, and that is the purpose, and I did it. 

I have been moving that incident around, 6-directions to reveal more of what occurred there and thus to get my attention on it unfixed.   This has resulted in my everyday viewpoint that all interactions are unreal, in that my reactive mind (which got formed on the basis of that program set of must not know/must not be known) wants to make others the cause of any discomfort, and truly the discomfort is with myself -- self to sef -- and what I decided to do with myself and from the viewpoint of the being who can know only what is on one side of the wall or barrier. 

I gave up the viewpoint of the creator ("creator" became a "not me") and now I am slowly regaining that viewpoint too.  Instead of the snake biting its tail or the scorpion blindly stinging itself there is an increased measure of awareness of how this playing field was created and, more importantly, that it was I, in the first place, who did it.   

When I look at others I see "I" more and more than before.   I still get mind chatter and incidents and every phenomenon that attends that, but more and more I can stop and sit while I track it back to that primal incident.  The idea of "not self" is now for me only one side of the story. 

When you can take on the creator viewpoint the interactions on this playing field do become more amazing and wondrous because it is all you -- entertaining yourself -- from that viewpoint and you are able to be more detached, but as long as the "wall" is there, both viewpoints can be valid, and I dare not say more because I would be getting beyond myself at this stage. 

So the prime objective is to "take down the wall" (Pink Floyd), more accurately to be able to take it down or put it up -- unlimited ability.  As long as I am limiting myself from knowing that I am the one who created this universe -- oh, there is the other postulate that I can only know things that have been brought into existence to be known in this particular universe..... I did it to myself.   We are all cast from the same "creator", and we are all that same creator is what I am ticklishly aware of.

As Niz would say (Nisargadatta), "that's not IT!"    I agree, and I do need to get back to my work.  I have known myself to get stuck in a more pleasant state and not want to move on.   

After reading this I'm not sure I've been doing RI correctly. I assumed "placing 360 around you" meant filling up a 360 degree space around me with all of the objects I create. And I assumed that I just kept creating different objects one after the other until no more change occurs at which point I imagine someone else constantly placing objects in the bubble around me.

I'm just starting out so perhaps someone can help?

This is copied and pasted from Dennis' manual, "The Resolution of Mind ..."

Level 2 Commands:

a) Select a non-significant past scene.
(Masochists can select a significant one.)
b) Select an object from this scene.
c) Find an object in present time that is different from the past object.
(NOTE:  A present time object that you can see with your eyes.)
d) How is it different?

Repeat c) and d) (it's permissible to use the same present time object over and over again if you wish) until no more change.   Then:

e) Find an object in present time (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene.
f) How is it similar?

Repeat e) and f) until no more change, then repeat c) and d).  Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change.

g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one.
Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change.

Continue the exercise, using more and more significant past objects, until no more change occurs with any past object you care to select. Now do the exercise with past persons. Select them one at a time, and complete the exercise with each person. Continue until no more change occurs with any past person you care to select.
As you do this exercise, and the compulsive games condition between you and your mind begins to break down, you’ll find that it becomes progressively easier to place the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects side by side for comparison purposes, until you are quite easily able to view both the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects simultaneously. You are learning to Timebreak.

Nevertheless, I had a very cathartic Level Two session two days ago.
