In fact, a young child never focuses his attention upon recovery at all. He/she is too interested in his toys, in his playmates, and in the things that he can find that are not to be played with. <a href="http://dissociationanonymous.blogspot.co.uk/">Recovery is an adult concept always of secondary importance</a>, and all of his early learning is peripheral learning. To a child within, the value is measured by its ability to help him better enjoy his primary interests. If he breaks all the imaginable rules and strategies, and yet gets the response he wants, he feels as if he has been completely successful. In our case, this explains why we are perfectly happy to use words and constructions that we do not hear from anyone else's lips. We have continued to use the words dissy, gatzo and Intulexia precisely because we understand what we mean. They function for us, and that is all we care about.</span><br /> <br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> A child within does not let what he/she does not understand confuse us. When we hear something we</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> do not understand, it disturbs us about as much as water disturbs a duck's back. This is related to the fact that recovery is never the centre of our attention. So we just do not care about what we cannot understand.</span><br /> <br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> A child within enjoys the repetitive events of life, and uses this for enjoyment to help  learn the new solutions of <a href="http://thetenstages.blogspot.co.uk/">the ten stages</a>. These repetitive events give the child within a sense of security and order, and as we begin to understand the order in the events of our life once more, we also begin to understand the order in the solution that is associated with these events. Conversely, rare events rarely leave much of a mark on a child's withins abilities. For an illustration of this, one only needs to look at the words that appear on our vocabulary list, and compare it to the words that did not make it.</span><br /> <br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> A child within uses primary interests to help learn a recovery solution related to those interests of childhood. Whatever captures our attention captures it all. We focus our attention on that one thing, excluding the rest of the world for that moment in time. And thus, the dissociation with his object of interest/fear is brought to the front and centre, and all the rest of the childhood memory around the incident is temporarily pushed back into the shadows. This can be illustrated from our dissociated vocabulary by looking at one of our earliest recovery words,DISSY (dissociation) . </span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> We deal with how a child within focuses  attention. We do not simply let our incidents of childhood pour over us and slowly ooze into our mind. Rather, we are very selective about the incidents we pay attention to. An adult tends to become first confused then discouraged when receiving too much new information at one time. trying to take in all that is presented , often with the result that we do not learn any of it well. Because of this, special care must be taken not to present too much at one time to an adult learner of <a href="http://thetenstages.blogspot.co.uk/">the ten stage program</a>. The excess causes the adult learner real problems. But a child never tries to take in all that is around. He/She is the one who is in control, and he/she selects what he/she likes best, ignoring the rest. A child within is very picky about the truth he/she listens to, just as he/she is often very picky about the food he eats. But precisely because he/she is so effective in shutting out what does not interest, The mind is not cluttered or divided, and can bring to bear the full resources of our mental facilities for the purpose of recovery what we have selected. This ability to focus on the material at hand while effectively excluding the rest is a very important ingredient in recovery and is the start in recovering contact with the child within.</span><br /> <br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> Our child within once back in re-contact directs  attention to things that are easy to understand. We do not think about the world economy or foreign cultures. We only think about the people around us, and the things around about. And these things can easily be named. </span><br /> <br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A child within possesses a natural desire to call an object by its name, and he uses that natural desire to help him learn the language. He receives real joy from just pointing out something and calling it by name. GATZO, we never think it is stupid or silly to say something that others might consider obvious. For him, it is delightful. </span><br /> <br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A recovered child within uses natural desire to participate in the life around to help the learning experience. We want to do what we sees others doing, and when that includes healthy communication, we want to communicate it too. Here the child within often says things it does not understand at all. We simply imitating others in recovery at first. We have learned that in a given situation, a word or phrase is always used, so we try to use it too. </span><br /> <br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">A child within immediately after experiencing truth trust and consent puts to use the communication he/she is learning, and uses his/her success in communication to build up his/her confidence. He/she does not try to store up his/her knowledge for use at a later date. He/she applies it in a truthful context as soon as he/she can. And every time he/she uses a piece of communication successfully, it is reinforced in his/her mind and his/her confidence grows. And this confidence encourages him/her to use the new communication skill even more, thus bringing him/her more success, more reinforcement, and more confidence. This confidence cycle built upon successful usage of communication is difficult to establish . But a child within is able to get it going and keep it going in the face of a lot of obstacles. All of the learning strategies mentioned are important, but this one, it seems , must be one of the most important. A child within without this level of confidence is in trouble from the very beginning, but one who possesses the confidence that comes from success, even when the success is limited, can overcome a host of other communication problems.</span><br /> <br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><a href="http://thetenstages.blogspot.co.uk/">A child within brings tremendous ingenuity to the task of communication and a new recovery language.</a> With no fear of failure, is not inhibited by what others might think. just plunges in head first, attacking the problems with all the resources that we have. Just one of the many places where a child withins ingenuity is evident is in the associations made between objects and words. Many of these associations are obviously wrong (to us), but we do not know they are wrong and we do not care. We start to see the world through different eyes, and orders it in different ways. Who can say that our ordering of the world is any more logical than a child Within? For a child within, why should a thought be any better than the word INTULEXIA?  because this ingenuity is common among children within, it is no less wonderful, and no less important in helping them to learn their first language of intuition.</span><br /> <br style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: x-large;" /> <br />

We have continued to use the words dissy, gatzo and Intulexia precisely because we understand what we mean. They function for us, and that is all we care about.

Below are ten features of our child's withins created recovery environment.

They have been selected because they are important elements in the language environment of the child within, and because they are often missing from the language environment of the adult parental voice. They deal primarily with the new language of loving-kindfulness that the child within starts to hear, not the old language that is still produced by a materialistic lifestyle.<br /><br />First, no pressure is brought to bear upon the child within as he/her starts to learn the new recovery language. There are no tests. There are no grades to be passed. And there is no standard that the child within must meet in order to be approved by his parents. Though the adult might feel pressure to help their child within develop his recovery language skills more rapidly, they cannot transfer this pressure to the child within as a motivating factor in the ten stage learning. Our Child Within just do not respond to this kind of old parental pressure.<br /><br />Second, there is all the time that the child within needs to learn the ten stage course. There is no given period of time in which the child within must learn or fail. Rather, there is enough time even for the child within who takes a rather leisurely relaxed pace in learning.<br /><br />Third, there is no possibility of escaping into a language that the child within already knows. We learn to identify our parental ancestral voice.It just cannot happen. Though he has no external pressure to study, there is no bell to let him out of class and no vacation when he can dissociate away from the new program of recovery.<br /><br />These first three points relate a child's withins motivation to continue course work. Tests, grades and the pressure of time help to keep the adult self at a learning task, and when these motivating factors are removed, progress often comes to a halt. But a child within who does not have these pressures also has no way of escaping from a gentle compassionate recovery. The Child Within continues to learn if he is going to ever understand the ten stages.<br /><br />Fourth, the language the child within hears is not sequenced by grammar or vocabulary and comes from different directions. No one decides when we are ready to hear a new word or a new construction. Children do not use a textbook or a word frequency study to help them decide how to speak to their child within.<br /><br />Fifth, there is lots of repetition in the language around us. We do not go from one piece of coursework to the next, always having to deal with lots of new material. Rather because daily life contains lots of repetition, the language a child within hears reflects that repetition in a spirit of truth trust and consent.<br /><br />Sixth, both the words and the world around the child within are new. Thus, our learning of the new ten stages coincides with our discovery of this world, and the curiosity that we have towards this new world becomes a powerful force in our ten stage learning.<br /><br />These last three points deal with the order or sequence of working the ten stages and meditations. The INTULEXIA recovery environment provides two ways that course learning can be naturally ordered. The first comes from the natural repetition in our life lessons, and the second comes from the natural order of our history and interest in our historical world. In other words, though a child's within environment might seem too rich, too unstructured and too confusing, the environment does contain within itself the ability to tell the child within where to begin and how to proceed.<br /><br />Seventh, all our coursework are spoken in the context of the world around us. The new ten stage course is not a translation of something he already understands in another place. And the new ten stages are not a secret code that must be translated into another program to reveal its hidden meaning. Rather, the course that we are learning is related directly to the world around us. It is always presented as a living meditation.<br /><br />Eighth, the child has lots of opportunities to listen to the ten stages as it is spoken by native speakers. Here there is considerable variation. Some children within have more knowledge around them than others. But even those children within who spend relatively less time listening to the new methods of communication still get lots more listening opportunities than an adult studying from a textbook while living in a culture that does not speak the language that he/her is studying.<br /><br />Ninth, the language environment of a child within gives him many opportunities to speak the new method of communication and be understood. Our parents and older brothers and sisters are speakers so that when we communicate, we can see immediately and get the reinforcement that our communications deserve.<br /><br />And tenth, much of the course we hear are simplified especially for our child within. When we are is speaking to our child within, We do our best to get across our meaning in language that the child within can understand. Because the child within can communicate by his actions how much he understands, the stager needs to tailor language to the child withins level. This is quite different from listening to a radio or tape, and to a lesser degree, it is different from listening to a person speaking to a group. It is very personal, and the many small problems of communication can be quickly detected and solved before they become real hindrances to learning.<br /><br />This finishes the list of the main elements of a child's within recovery environment. We can immediately see how rich a child's within environment really is. The Child Within has no pressure, and all the time in the world! We have truth trust and consent all around us, and our teachers are our communicants who surround us (and recover with us)! We do not have to study from a textbook in a classroom! Rather our private tutors use the world around us as our textbook! It is a situation that any child within should truly envy. But there is also a lot more to the magic of a child's withins learning ability than just our recovery environment. </span>

Perception begins even before we’re born. It occupies a powerful position in our lives because it influences every action we take so that we can more readily fit into our environment. In this way, it helps to ensure our survival.<br /><br />Physical perception includes the five bodily senses: touch, smell, sight, taste and sound. It also involves the senses that allow us to be aware of our body as it occupies space, and to be aware of movement within a given environment.<br /><br />Perception is common to every living organism, from microscopic to macroscopic. In simple life-forms, it influences the automatic actions that shape reproduction, respiration, digestion and immune function; and in more advanced life-forms, it has evolved to influence the actions that shape relationships, prosperity, success and well-being. When we stop to look more closely at these functions, we recognize that even the smallest cell, in its quest for the highest level of survival, desires all those seemingly advanced things as well.<br /><br />Consider all the things you consciously perceive at any given moment. The sensation of the sun on your face, the sound of traffic through the window, the smell of your coffee in the morning and the sight of a bird flying past your window. Every one of these sensory experiences defines how you experience, participate in and take action in your life. This process is continuous and largely unconscious and automatic; we do not have to stop and think about how we perceive. We just do it.</span><div> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br />The phases of perception<br /><br />There are three phases involved in the process of perception, and whether you are using it to experience something as mundane as a car travelling past you or something as mystical as an intuitive bit of precognition, the process is the same. The three phases of perception are awareness, recognition and action.<br /><br />When we navigate through our everyday life experiences, we flash through the process without thought. But when we adapt it to serve our First Intelligence, it’s important to understand the mechanics of it so we can be certain to empower our intuition in the most potent way possible.<br /><br />Phase 1. Awareness<br /><br />The process of perception begins when something in the environment gets our attention. The energetic information that lets us “notice”—whether it’s the light reflected from a balloon into our eyes, the frequency of Mozart as it hits our ears, or the smell of a hot-dog stand registered by our nose—is at this point simply information in the field of possibility that has bumped into our sensory organs. It has not yet been processed by the mind, so it has no meaning or reality.<br /><br />Once the energetic impression has been received by the sensory organ, it’s translated into electrical signals that flow through the nervous system and into the brain and body to be interpreted. The actual moment of perception is when our body has gone through the lightning-quick processes of receiving and transmitting the electrical information, and not a moment before.<br /><br />But awareness isn’t the complete picture. We are aware of many, many things as they blur in and out of our present moment of reality, but not every single one of them is something we need to isolate or process.<br /><br />We perceive only a tiny percentage of the millions of energetic impulses happening around us each second. The things we do notice tend to be the things that align with our level of consciousness, that are equal to the beliefs we have about the world and our place in it, and that are relevant to our well-being and survival. The rest gets filtered out—either it’s ignored or it doesn’t even register.<br /><br />Phase 2. Recognition<br /><br />There is much we are aware of, but mere awareness isn’t enough to affect our physical processes. For awareness to have any impact, our brain must interpret what we’re experiencing so we can give it meaning. This allows us to categorize and understand the world around us, which puts us in a better position to respond to it.<br /><br />This part of the process is better known as recognition, which literally means to show awareness of, to acknowledge or appreciate. At the moment of recognition our brain identifies the stimulus and then categorizes it as, say, a rose or a hot dog, a fish or a bird, dangerous or safe, life affirming or life denying. The category or meaning we assign to that stimulus determines how or if we take action.<br /><br />Phase 3. Action<br /><br />The actions you take in response to the meaning you have created may be conscious, like jumping out of the way of a moving car, or unconscious, like scrunching up your face when you bite into a lemon. They may be major, like slamming on the brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian, or subtle, like waving an insect away from your face. They may be life advancing, like introducing yourself to an important person you meet at a dinner party, or life denying, like staying in a relationship you know is not healthy for you. Regardless of the impulse or impression received, an action is always the final piece of the perceptive puzzle, even when the action is taking no action.<br /><br />To simplify this even further, the process of perception is: What did you notice? What did it mean to you? And what action did you take? Misperceptions can threaten survival, and accurate perceptions encourage success, so these three questions hold great value for you as you develop your intuitive intelligence.</span></div>

Anything. Drive a different way to work, walk on the other side of the street, create an all-new meditation practice. This will help you stay alert and in the moment, so you can notice when our intuition is pulling at our sleeve.<br /><br />At a restaurant, choose to order the very first thing that you see on the menu – If nothing else, it’s pleasant to have more time for conversation and less time for silently obsessing.<br /><br />Take the long way home – Just let the car take you wherever it wants to go. Or walk a different way home. Deliberately get lost. See where you end up.<br /><br />Keeping some kind of notebook beside our bed and record just the images from our dreams – We never worry about remembering the plot—dream logic is too confusing to try to capture—but We usually remember a few images, and those can be quite illuminating.<br /><br />Try some version of automatic writing – just try to write faster than our mind can think.<br /><br />Right hand-left hand exercise – Let our dominant hand ask a question that we really want the answer to, and let our non-dominant hand write the answer. (Yes, the writing of our non-dominant hand will look like that of a child within. No worries.) Keeping the dialogue going until we feel satisfied.<br /><br />Talk to animals – Get quiet and communicate in thought pictures with the animals in our life.<br /><br />Connect with new people in our daily life – If we feel a pull toward someone we don’t know, reach out in some way. Make eye contact with people at the grocery store and at the gas station. Allow ourself to notice what we believe at first glance about them. (In other words, when we really look at someone, we might get little flickers of thought: “She looks lonely,” or “I bet he was wild as a teenager.” Just let that impression bubble up.)<br /><br />Truthfully answer the question, “How are you?” – On being asked, take a second to check in with ourself and give a real answer. Caution: this might lead to a real conversation.<br /><br />Obey the “How dumb would I feel?” rule – This rule kicks in when I pull into a parking space with my computer on the front seat and think, “Oh, I don’t have to put that in the boot; I’m sure it will be fine.” Then I think, “Yup, I’m sure it will be fine, but how dumb would I feel if I came back out here and it was gone?” I would feel pretty darn dumb, especially since I had just had this conversation with myself. Make it a daily practice to pay attention to your niggling thoughts and suspicions.<br /><br /><br />Little changes action stage</span><br /> <div> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br />Choose one intuition cultivator from the list above and do it today.<br />The 6 Intuition Killers<br /><br />Just as we can develop our child within, there are also some easy ways to suppress it. Here are six killers of our intuition:<br /><br />The need to be right – We need to be smart, documented, and logical in all of our decisions will cause us to ignore the whispers of our child within and do foolish things, like marrying someone who “looks good on paper” or taking a job just for the money.<br /><br />The safety of “I don’t know” – Sometimes when we say, “I don’t know,” it’s because actually we do know, and we just don’t like it. Other times we allow ourself to stay dissociated so that we don’t have to commit to a decision. If this is a habit of ours, try using the stagers trick of saying, “If I did know the answer, it might be…”<br /><br />Fatigue and dehydration – Physical depletion often leads directly to poor brain function and unreliable interpretations of the signals our child within is trying to<br />send us.<br /><br />Depression – When we are caught up in hopelessness, grief, and nonstop self-criticism, it is very hard for us to hear that deep, calm, knowing voice of the child within, and even harder to trust it.<br /><br />Talking ourself into and out of decisions – When we second-guess ourself, we confuse ourself and develop self-mistrust.<br /><br />Routine – Being on autopilot causes us to stagnate and go to sleep.<br /></span><br /> <div> <br /></div> </div>

And you cannot abandon everything without deep passion, can you? You cannot abandon everything intellectually or emotionally. There is total abandonment, surely, only when there is intense passion. Don't be alarmed by that word because a man who is not passionate, who is not intense, can never understand or feel the quality of beauty. The mind that holds something in reserve, the mind that has a vested interest, the mind that clings to position, power, prestige, the mind that is respectable, which is a horror; such a mind can never abandon itself. d</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">o we depend? Psychologically, inwardly, we depend on a belief, on a system, on a philosophy; we ask another for a mode of conduct; we seek teachers who will give us a way of life which will lead us to some hope, some happiness. So we are always, are we not, searching for some kind of dependence, security. Is it possible for the mind ever to free itself from this sense of dependence? Which does not mean that the mind must achieve independence; that is only the reaction to dependence. We are not talking of independence, of freedom from a particular state. If we can inquire without the reaction of seeking freedom from a particular state of dependence, then we can go much more deeply into it. We accept the necessity foe dependence; we say it is inevitable. We have never questioned the whole issue at all, why each one of us seeks some kind of dependence. Is it not that we really, deep down, demand security, permanency? Being in a state of confusion, we want someone to get us out of that confusion. So, we are always concerned with how to escape or avoid the state in which we are. In the process of avoiding that state, we are bound to create some kind of dependence, which becomes our authority. If we depend on another for our security, for our inward well-being, there arise out of that dependence innumerable problems, and then we try to solve those problems; the problems of attachment. But we never question, we never go into the problem of dependence itself. Perhaps if we can really intelligently, with full awareness, go into this problem, then we may find that dependence is not the issue at all; that it is only a way of escaping from a deeper fact.</span>

You listen to something, and your mind immediately reacts with its knowledge, its conclusions, its opinions, its past memories. It listens, inquiring for a future understanding. Just observe yourself, how you are listening, and you will see that this is what is taking place. Either you are listening with a conclusion, with knowledge, with certain memories, experiences, or you want an answer, and you are impatient. You want to know what it is all about, what life is all about, the extraordinary complexity of life. You are not actually listening at all. You can only listen when the mind is quiet, when the mind doesn't react immediately, when there is an interval between your reaction and what is being said. Then in that interval there is a quietness, there is a silence in which alone there is a comprehension, which is not intellectual understanding. If there is a gap between what is said and your own reaction to what is said, in that interval, whether you prolong it indefinitely, for a long period or for a few seconds in that interval, if you observe, there comes clarity. It is the interval that is the child within. The immediate reaction is the adult self, and the old self functions in its own traditional, accepted, reactionary, animalistic sense. When there is an abeyance of that, when the reaction is suspended, when there is an interval, then you will find that the child within acts, and it is only the child within</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"> that can understand, not the old adult self.,</span>

Meditation is Kindfulness when the senses are turned inward. <br /><br />So many things are happening within us at every moment. We are constantly perceiving the contents of a moment and judging those contents relative to our sense of separateness. <br /><br />An example:<br /><br />I am sitting here. I smell cookies. Cookies are good. I am happy. I will go eat cookies. <br /><br />or<br /><br />I am waiting for the bus. It is cold and rainy. I am unhappy. I’d rather be where the bus is going to take me. The person next to me looks pathetic. This sucks. <br /><br />Both of these situations contain elements of perception, division, judgement, and emotional reaction. We are using outward sensory situations and recognition to take stock of a moment and extract and experience. <br /><br />This is what I mean when I say we look outward for the things we can find inwardly. <br /><br />A moment is a moment, regardless of what it contains. These things we perceive will shift endlessly. The only constant in every moment is your own Presence. That doesn’t seem like much until you understand what your Presence really is. <br /><br />Any beautiful and enjoyable moment is a moment in which you have let go of analysis and judgement because you have deemed that moment worthy. And in that let go you experience a peace and silence, the moment appears vivid and amazing. <br /><br />Perhaps that moment is quite nice. But that vividness comes from your quality of Presence. <br /><br />Kindfulness begins when you start to observe these inner workings in yourself. Perception happens in an instant and if your attention is preoccupied with thoughts of elsewhere, you will not even know that you are making these judgements as they occurring. Therefore in order to be mindful you must be exactly where you are. <br /><br />Kindfulness is unrushed. Time passes so quickly that there is no need to speed it along. Sometimes attending to your slow and calm breathing will help to slow your internal rhythm. <br /><br />Meditation helps to increase your Kindfulness in the world because you will find it easier to be Present and entirely inwardly silent.<br /> The quieter you are, the more you can hear. And this is the essence of kindfulness. When you are still and silent, the moment presents you with many beautiful things. But more than that, your peace and contentment is entirely self-contained. <br /><br />To be Kindful is to be at peace. It is an inner thing that can be completely independent of external circumstances. The trick is being present for it. <br /><br />You can practice Kindfulness by sitting around with your eyes open, relaxing, and taking in your senses. When your mind’s attention wanders, just bring it back to right where you are. Eventually this will be very natural to you. It is only our accumulated restlessness that keeps us from abiding with the here and now. </span><div> <br /></div>

They are not, they only appear contradictory. You can enjoy suffering.<br />What is the secret - how to enjoy suffering? The first thing is: if you don′t escape, if you allow the suffering to be there, if you are ready to face it, if you are not trying somehow to forget it, then you are different. Suffering is there but just around you; it is not in the center, it is on the periphery. It is impossible for suffering to be in the center; it is not in the nature of things. It is always on the periphery and you are the center. So when you allow it to happen, when you don′t escape, you don′t run, you are not in a panic, suddenly you become aware that suffering is there on the periphery, as if happening to someone else, not to you, and you are looking at it. A subtle joy spreads all over your being because you have realised one of the basic truths of life: that you are bliss and not suffering.<br />So when I say enjoy it I don′t mean become a masochist; I don′t mean create suffering for yourself and enjoy it. I don′t mean: go on, fall down from a cliff, have fractures and then enjoy it - no. There are people of that type and many of them have become ascetics, tapasvis, and they are creating suffering for themselves. They are masochists, they are ill. They are very dangerous people. They wanted to make others suffer but they are not so courageous. They wanted to kill others, be violent with others, cripple others, but they are not so courageous, so their whole violence has turned within. Now they are crippling themselves, torturing themselves, and enjoying it.<br />I am not saying be a masochist; I am simply saying suffering is there, you need not seek for it. Enough suffering is there already, you need not go in search. Suffering is already there; life by its very nature creates suffering. Illness is there, death is there, the body is there - by their very nature suffering is created. See it, look at it with a very dispassionate eye. Look at it - what it is, what is happening. Don′t escape. Immediately the mind says, "Escape from here, don′t look at it." But if you escape then you cannot be blissful.<br />Next time you fall ill and the doctor suggests to remain in bed, take it as a blessing. Close your eyes and rest on the bed and just look at the illness. Watch it, what it is. Don′t try to analyze it, don′t go into theories, just watch it, what it is. The whole body tired, feverish - watch it. Suddenly, you will feel that you are surrounded by fever but there is a very cool point within you; the fever cannot touch it, cannot influence it. The whole body may be burning but that cool point cannot be touched.<br /><br />I have heard about one Zen nun...<br /><br />She died, but before she died she asked her disciples, "What do you suggest? How should I die?"<br />It is an old tradition in Zen that masters ask; they can die consciously, so they can ask. And they are so playful even about death, so humorous about it, joking, laughing, they enjoy devising methods how to die.<br />So disciples may suggest, "Master, this will be good, if you die standing on your head."<br />Or someone suggests, "Walking, because we have never seen anyone die walking."<br />So this Zen nun asked, "What do you suggest?"<br />They said, "It will be good if we prepare a fire, and you sit in it and die meditating."<br />She said, "This is beautiful, and never heard of before."<br />So they prepared a funeral pyre, the nun made herself comfortable in it, sat in a Buddha posture, and then they lit the fire.<br />One man from the crowd asked, "How does it feel there? It is so hot that I cannot even come nearer to ask you - that′s why I am shouting. How does it feel there?"<br />The nun laughed and said, "Only a fool can ask such a question - How does it feel there? There it always feels cool, perfectly cool."<br />She is talking of her inner being, her center. There it is always cool and only a foolish person can ask. It is obvious. When a person is ready to sit in a pyre meditating, and then the pyre is burnt and she is sitting silently, obviously it shows that this person must have achieved the innermost cool point which cannot be disturbed by any fire. Otherwise, it is not possible.</span>

One person described DID as, “being disconnected to the body and my surroundings.”</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Several people described having DID as feeling lost in time, never really being sure of what day it is. Sometimes, you lose hours; other times, you lose weeks of your life. These feelings lead to confusion; it becomes difficult to know what happened and what didn’t happen. “Is it real or is this just in my head?”</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Life with Dissociative Identity Disorder Feels Like Living in Constant Fear and Pain</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">To some, life with DID feels like living in constant fear. Fear of the outside world, fear of oneself, fear of one’s emotions, fear of the past, present, and future. For those that also experience posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), flashbacks can intensify the fear and lead to increased physical and emotional pain. Headaches and migraines can overtake you at any time. Physical pain manifests itself in different parts of the body, as different parts hold pain in different places. Sometimes, there is no medical reason for the pain, but you or your parts feel the pain regardless, and it’s real pain.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Dissociative Identity Disorder and Questioning Your Memories</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">One of the major symptoms of DID is </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">memory loss</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">, and, aside from alters, memory experiences have the greatest impact on those affected by DID. One person referred to memories as, “currency traded among friends.”</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">This is because different memories are held by different alters, and are shared (or not shared) with other parts of the system. Some people with DID cannot remember where they are, even when they are in a place they have been before, or they cannot remember a person’s name who they have seen before. This is because those places and people were experienced by a different part, a part that holds different memories. People with DID are not always sure what they will remember, and there is sometimes an underlying worry that one will forget who their family members are or forget how to do one’s job. It’s upsetting when you can’t remember things that you know happened. Sometimes, DID means having to ask for validation, because you are constantly trying to figure out if the memories are real.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Life with Dissociative Identity Disorder Can Feel Normal; It’s Not Always Bad</span><br /> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Considering the struggles that people with DID experience on a regular basis, DID does not always feel so negative; there is good along with the bad. A common theme is that DID feels like never being alone. Even when there is no one else in the room, it feels like you have people there with you: your alters. You learn to adapt to the world with them. As one person put it, “being multiple is as normal to me as being a singleton is to a singleton.”</span>

There are two parts—speaking and listening—to any dialogue, both of which are entangled in the concepts of human language. There is no escape into sensory data. We simply must engage with the ideas.<br /><br />From our perspective, speaking seems to be little more than thinking out loud. Our thoughts simply move from within to without. The outer voice, fortunately, seems to have a filter that the child within does not. But the functioning of this filtration system is deeply confusing to me. And when it doesn’t work, I’m even more confused.Why did I just tell a lie or an exaggeration.<br /><br />However mystifying these processes may be, a meta-awareness of our speech is crucial for connecting with others. Without noticing certain habit patterns—gossip, lying, self-talk, useless chatter—we can’t see how poorly they reflect on us. When someone is jabbering about total strangers, it takes real effort to feign interest. But how often are we, in fact, the tiresome bore?</span><br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;"><i>“There is this mismatch between what we think makes us look good, and what we effortlessly recognise looks bad on other people,”  “It’s like a piece of clothing you could wear which you thought looked great on yourself, but the moment you put it on another person, you could recognise that this is the least flattering thing a person could possibly wear.”</i></span></blockquote>

Give yourself completely to the entire process of preparing and drinking your tea.<br /><br />Once your tea is made, find a nice quiet place for you to sit and drink it. Once you've sat down, take a moment before starting to "simply sit" with your tea.<br /><br />Notice the aroma of the tea, admire the look and color of the tea, and imagine the delicate balance that had to be kept for the tea to go from being a leaf on a tree (likely from another country) to becoming the delightful cup of tea in front of you.<br />2. Give thanks<br /><br />Before you begin drinking, take a moment to give thanks for the cup of tea in front of you.<br /><br />Contemplate for a moment on the fact that people all around the world don't even have clean drinking water, yet you can sit and enjoy an amazing cup of warm tea whenever you so choose.<br /><br />Appreciate the cup of tea and everything that had to happen, and the careful balance that had to be maintained, for you to experience this amazing cup of tea.<br /><br />Express your gratitude for all those things which helped make your cup of tea a reality, and for a moment expand that thought to yourself and the knowledge that you also depend on infinite living and non-living things to exist as you are now in this moment just as the tea does.<br /><br />Sit with those feelings for a minute or two before beginning.<br />3. Drink your tea<br /><br />This is the main event. Your tea has been prepared, you've expressed your appreciation, and now it's time to drink.<br /><br />All you have to do is drink your tea fully with mindfulness. Take it slow, only drinking very small sips at a time. You should be taking your time and really savoring every sip.<br /><br />Specifically, while you drink, your object of concentration can be various things.<br /><br />I often focus my mindfulness on the raising of my arm, and then of the sip, swallowing, then lowering of the arms, and lastly take a few nice deep breaths before taking another sip. This should be cycled throughout the length of the meditation.<br /><br />And as usual, any thoughts, feelings, or sensations that arise while doing each individual activity simply gets gently acknowledged and I proceed to go back to my object of meditation.<br /><br />Fully commit to the act of drinking your tea, whether you're with someone else or alone. Be fully awake for the practice of drinking your tea, understanding that this moment and this tea will never exist again.<br />4. Give thanks (again)<br /><br />Once you're done (again, the length of your meditation is up to you, it could be 10 minutes and it could be one hour), give thanks once again like you did in the beginning.<br /><br />It's important to finish the practice like we started, helping put the tea, and the meditation, in perspective.<br /><br />____________________________<br /><br />This simple tea meditation, which can be done in as little as 10 minutes and as long as one full hour (it's really up to you), has a whole list of great benefits:<br />Cultivate a sense of gratitude and a deep reverence for life<br />Reduce stress and find greater peace and clarity of mind<br />It's a great morning ritual to start your day off with<br />All the benefits of meditating with mindfulness<br />All the health benefits of drinking tea (depends on what tea you drink, but many types of tea are very healthy)<br />Great preparatory as well as supporting practice for your sitting meditation<br />It's great to invite friends and family in on to show them the same benefits and to nurture your relationships</span>

When repressed traumatic memories and events are acknowledged, felt, grieved, and freed, we become RECOVERED. Our child withins channel of consciousness becomes clear so that our truth can flow through us.<br /><br />We’ve all have had moments of recovery. With unusual clarity, we see our truth. The clouds part—and we say ‘aha’! We are at one with all things. Truth is no longer distorted through the filter of the disturbances of our past or the biases of our family and culture. Truth is revealed, clear as a bell, at least for a moment.<br /><br />But sustaining this recovered state is a difficult task. To do so, we must do some work. We are not suggesting that the solution requires endless tedious hours of repetitive prayers or dissociative mediation.  EMOTIONAL RECOVERY in itself is simpler—but much harder.<br /><br />Our solution is to resolve the traumas buried in our unconscious, the traumas that imprison truth and entangle our child within with its inherent creativity. The disturbing dis-respect inflicted on us beginning in earliest childhood, even in the womb of a troubled mother in conflict with a father, which have been absorbed by our child within and must be resolved to our child withins satisfaction so that we may live free, fully and honestly. We must see, feel, and grieve our traumatic history in order to clear our child withins holding bin of dtysfunctioning memory, the unconscious. When the unconscious is clear we become fully recovered.</span>

The Child Within has often become our mental repository

These troubling experiences usually occur in our childhood, that vulnerable time of life when we were trapped in our situations and when the implications of what we saw and experienced overwhelmed us. To save our sanity and life we held these difficult feelings and experiences for a later time, in hopes that we would become strong enough and authentic enough to bear their emotional impact.<br /><br />It is painful to process anything stored by the child within. But the hardest experiences to process are the betrayals of our parents. It is a sad fact that the people who should have loved and protected us the most instead failed us the most. Yet only a person who has experienced enough adult autonomy and separation from his or her parents can withstand the emotional onslaught of repressed feelings and memories when they emerge. For many it is too much to ask; they become as overwhelmed as they were when they were children.<br /><br />It is important to note that trauma is not all that lives in our unconscious. Also repressed in our mental repository is our full palette of creativity, authenticity, and originality. These gifts were not welcomed in an emotionally constricted family or society. So when the pain of unresolved child within traumas comes out, so too do our positive gifts.<br /><br />But what happens if we don’t process what lives hidden within our child? This holding bin of repressed trauma and thwarted creativity saved us as children but it destroys us as adults. All that lives in our unconscious begins to fester and make its presence known through symptoms—physical or emotional. Here the unconscious rules our life. And can rule our unconscious.<br /><br />Even though symptoms may be painful, they really are our friends—for they tell us that something has gone wrong. Our symptoms tell us that our version of a perfect childhood, or our family’s version of a perfect family, is not true. We begin to suspect that something occurred in our history that has hurt us. Eruptions from the unconscious are really seismic helpers. As painful as they may be, they are an emergence of repressed material that needs our healing, love, and attention. They can save our lives, and our whole lost child. In fact, without them we are lost.</span>

This includes understanding where it comes from, how to avoid it, and how to develop the positive mind – how to see the nine hundred and ninety-eight good bricks, not just the two bad ones, in a wall you've constructed. Instead of fault-finding, try to understand human beings, yourself included, and have forgiveness and loving-kindness.<br /><br /><br />"Practicing kindfulness means seeing yourself as just a person on the path, this poor little being who has suffered a lot already and who doesn't want more suffering. If you can be at peace with your suffering, you'll find that compulsive fault-finding decreases."</span>
