Needing clarity of practical exercise in the WORK. :)

[melatonin]

Is the only real practical work self observation and everything else piggy-backs off that improving?
Self-remembering gets more pronounced with when self observation reaches a certain point of success and progress?
External consideration becomes a gift once (again) self observation peels back our false self's, and slowly we grow a real "i"?
We can only let go of internal consideration once we have progressed very much further in the process of none-identifying?

Is the focus for someone who's starting the journey (My 3rd attempt, but I'm starting from scratch) solely self observation and creating separation at the start?

Many thanks in advance :)

My help to you is to give you more questions.

What is the central objective of third density?

Can this goal be forced or is it something natural?

Can anyone know if the objective has been met?

And then live and be yourself, It will be easy or will cost "work".

I hope it helps you.

Scholars who have read hundreds of books will likely help you with many more things.

Thanks for your reply Wandering Star.


The objective of 3rd Density? To become conscious beings?

Can the goal be forced? It has to be according to the "work".

Hi melatonin. Perhaps it might be of interest to start with the recommended readings. I added at the end a very important thread.

Self-Observation, Inner Talking & Work Instrument

There are many things that can be said about self-observation and what it is and what it is not. The whole of the Work starts from a man beginning to observe himself. Self-observation is a means of self-change. Serious and continuous self-observation, if done aright, leads to definite inner...

I agree, begin by starting to work through the reading list.

Self-observation is one of the first steps of the Work on ourselves, but there is a lot more that builds on it. Once you become aware of your programs and blockages (eg. mental limiting beliefs, emotional charges and wounds, bad habits) you can then start on changing, letting go of and healing all these things that hold us back.

Self-remembering (being as present as possible during the day, instead of checking out and dissociating) is also a central part of the Work and kind of builds on self-observation.

I see that you are around for quite some time so I assume you´ve read some of the books already. But as you have noted, you feel like you are at the beginning. I also felt like that many times and that is good, IMO. I suppose it could mean that some of your programs/beliefs/etc were perhaps crushed and now you feel like you´re back to the basics.

What others said about reading books, I also think it´s a good idea. I.e. (re)reading The Wave and Narcissism "Big Five" and stuff like that might give you a fresh look on stuff you missed before. It is normal that brain filters information when we are not ready for it, and it happens to me too when I take some chapter and reread it and figure out things that I didn´t understand before or find things I completely overlooked before.

You can also "start" with basics as in: is my diet in order, do I take my supplements, do I spend time on meditations/prayers (i.e. try some meditations from Cass YouTube channel Cassiopaea.org), do EE regularly, and so on.

Don´t lose faith and beat yourself up.

Forget all about saying “I should”.
Replace it instead by saying “I love to do”.
If you need five lives to accomplish what you want, let this be the first of those five.
And without any “time obligation” – start it.
First step first.
Enjoy it. Love yourself. Take care of yourself.
This is the only thing that the Universe wants from you.

I just read a paragraph from a session and I remembered your thread.

(Guest) When they mentioned the "admitting it, seeing it, atoning", is that the process for awakening true conscience?

A: Yes. First admit that you are a "jerk". This must be viscerally known. You must understand that you have been reacting all your life based on emotions from another life that is over and those feelings do not apply here and now.

Q: (L) It's a tall order.

A: Yes

Q: (Guest) Is it too tall?

A: No

Q: (Bubbles) Can he do it?

A: We think so.

Q: (L) From him to whom much is given, much is required. When somebody has many gifts, they are expected to use them. You have many gifts. What are they for, if not first to be applied to organizing yourself?

A: One note to Guest: A key to observing the self is to turn the attention simultaneously towards others to notice their true reactions to what you think you are doing or how you think you are being perceived.

Q: (L) I guess that means you have to be ruthlessly honest. If you think that you are doing this or that, and that it should be being perceived that way, IS that really what's happening? And I guess that means getting feedback. Because you may think that what you're doing is being perceived a certain way, and it isn't. So, self-observing is walking between two worlds: the inner and the outer, simultaneously.
