You do want to learn to compose reality, don’t you? Of course you do, good.
So, let’s say, you have a dream. There is a saying in your folklore “it does no harm to dream” which hints that it is also useless to dream. Does this mean, that the silly saying is true and that my snottites have nothing to hope for?
I will explain to you in the next lesson why dreams don’t come true. For now, we will move directly to the technique. First do it, then you will understand. That’s the best way to learn. Now, listen carefully.
First: wake up and log into the awareness point. As usual, say to yourself: I see myself and I see reality.
Second: activate the plait. Feel it: here it is. As soon as you focus your attention on the plait, it instantly rises up at an angle to your spine and is activated.
Third: without taking your attention away from the plait, imagine a picture of the future. In your thoughts, in words, on the screen, as well as you can, compose your reality.
You may notice that when you activate the plait, your eyes shift into a different gear. Try and feel that: you have raised your plait. Now, what happens to your eyes? They become a little wider as if they are beginning to shine. This is a new, unfamiliar mode of being for you. Previously, you just watched the outer film and surrendered yourself to it. Now, you can turn the film roll independently.
Once again, this is how: you’ve woken up, focused your attention on the plait, and then, keeping your senses attuned to the plait, you imagine what you desire as if it were depicted on the screen. That is how you illuminate the future frame, and how to make it manifest in physical reality. Later, you’ll learn how to do this instantaneously, in a single movement.
The plait works like a film projector. You can turn your little ‘I want’s’ and ‘if only’s’ on the inner screen as much as you like, but it won’t be very effective – practically a misfire. The projector runs at full capacity in the moment, that your thoughts, words, and images originate from the outer intention centre. So, if you want to do more than just wallow in your own thoughts, if you want to influence how your reality is shaped, turn on the plait.
It is not essential to keep your attention totally focused on the tip of the plait. It is enough to sense it, like you would a phantom limb. However, you can activate it whenever you wish. The specific sensations are a very personal thing. You don’t have to pay attention to the eyes. You can keep them closed, or be completely blind; it doesn’t make any difference. What is important is that the thoughts, words and images are in tandem with the plait.
So, my bunnies, my little fish, you’re just a step away from becoming Rulers of the Universe. I am filled with such awe, that I don’t know whether to swoon or bow in reverence. Go on, surprise me with your abilities! First of all though, you must surprise yourself. And for that, you must acquire the practical skills needed to control the moving frame.
We’ll begin with the basics, the fulfilment of immediate desires. Let’s say, on the film roll of the day, a certain event is looming, which could have a successful or an unsuccessful outcome for you. To start with, take the simplest thing that will fit into one frame. This could be, for example, making a purchase, finding a parking space, any everyday task at work, university, outside, or at home.
You have the power to insert the frame into a successful film roll. You already know what to do. You wake up, activate the plait, and without losing a sense of the plait, you imagine that what you desire is coming true. Then you can let go of the feeling of the plait and continue to operate as normal. Repeat the act of illuminating the frame a few times over, just to make sure.
You will see for yourself what follows. Keep your diapers dry! Don’t wet yourself in the process! You experience very mixed feelings when you understand that something has taken place that is impossible. You will find it hard to believe that outer reality surrenders to your will. Usually the opposite happens, and you are subject to external reality.
The statistics for your successful experiments depend – wait for it! – on your sense of the reality of what is happening. Your criterion for reality is routine and habit. Anything is real if it has happened several times. Something that has never happened cannot be real, right?
In other words, for you, things are only possible if they fit into the mould of your worldview. If you didn’t know that it was possible to ride a bike with two wheels, you wouldn’t be riding one. It’s exactly the same with the movement of the frame. You won’t be able to control it whilst you believe it to be unrealistic. So what can you do to make it real? You will find out very soon, my darlings!
The Illusion of Action
Again and again, over and over, my sweeties. Repetition – your pain, my gain! Let’s recap what you need to do.
• Wake up, activate the plait, hold the feeling, compose reality.
• Whether it works or not depends on whether you accept or negate what is happening.
• It is only possible if it fits into the mould of your world-view.
You are relatively primitive beings. Nothing can happen to you that does not fit with how you perceive the world and yourself within it. All sorts of incredible things happen in your dreams, but simply because you reduce your standards of critical assessment. In waking, it’s the opposite. Everything has to be rigorously reconciled with the mould. So your ability to move the frame depends on whether you can concede the possibility with certainty, or whether you remain in doubt of its viability.
Performing simple ‘miracles’ will be easy for you. You will be able to create anything that corresponds with your everyday, routine experience. Your experience is what consolidates the mould. More complex movements of the frame require new content to be spliced in. I will repeat the same thing many times, over and over, again and again until you understand. And if you don’t understand, I will order you all to chop off your head. I can do without idiots!
Alright, don’t cry, my feeble ones, listen on. Once, previously, I said, the script carries you along a film roll that you did not choose. Broadly speaking, the film roll is your lifeline, and the script is your fate. You don’t choose your fate and not only that, you don’t even try and change it, although you could.
You are foolish to console yourselves with the hope that fate, although preordained, is still in your hands. In fact, it’s a lot worse than that. You are being led by a harsh script. It only appears to you that you take action as you see fit. It sounds plausible, but it’s still an illusion. Not only what you see, but the things you do can be illusory. You won’t be able to see through this kind of illusion though because you are constantly in it.
Do you remember we talked about the dream mannequins? Mannequins inhabit the pictures of your dreams, like the heroes of a motion picture, once shot onto a roll of film. You watch a dream and the mannequins move. You watch a film and the heroes come to life. As soon as the film or dream is over, all the characters freeze until the next viewing or, otherwise, forever.
Do you think that the characters in a motion picture or a computer game are aware that they are in a film, and that you are watching them? No. Are the dream mannequins aware that you are seeing them in a dream? Again, no. And now I am asking you: do you know who you are?
You can’t ask the characters in the film. You could ask the mannequins, but there is not much point. You are different from the former and the latter in that you can at least dimly grasp the meaning of the question. And also, in that you are able to be self-aware. But when are you self-aware? Only in the moment that you ask yourself this question. The rest of the time, where are you? Who are you?
You are the characters in a film roll, in the life that is happening to you. You don’t live your life – your life happens to you. Neither the dream mannequin, nor the hero of the motion picture are capable of distinguishing the illusion of their actions or, more precisely, the illusion of action occurring. So why would you think that you would be capable of doing so?
No, you are, of course, capable, my clever
