Tape 5 

[At other times you will actively do something to provoke a partner to give you feedback of more emotional pain.]

But even your very presence could be provocative.  If the pain-body is active to you and the vicious circle is running between the story in your head and you're walking out on the street and you're walking into a shop just too innocent to buy a little paper or something and it may happen that the shopkeeper is also in the grip of the pain-body at that moment.  And it's the likelihood that at that moment you will have an unpleasant interaction, for some reason, with the shopkeeper is very, very high because even if you say nothing, pain-bodies can sense each other.   And that is amazing when you watch it.

The One and the many

Oneness includes the many.  Non-duality is not only a realization of the formless realm or non-conceptual awareness, but also a recognition that form is none other than formlessness.   

Form includes people, jobs, relationships, ideas, feelings and all other things.  So what is the difference between living life as a separate self and living life from non-dual realization?  The only real difference is that instead of believing that you are a person separate from the rest of life, there is a recognition that what you are in the deepest sense is an unnamable presence.  That presence is also the essence of everything you see.  In that way, what you are is not separate from the rest of life.  This seeing reveals a natural compassion, love, peace, and joy.

Your very essence is spacious awareness.  This spacious awareness is prior to the story of being a separate person.  But don't let the realization stay there.  See that the nothingness of awareness is appearing as absolutely everything.

As soon as the mind starts to associate non-duality only with nothingness, it is holding onto an idea about non-duality.  That is not non-duality.  Although the word "non-duality" is an idea, it is pointing to reality itself.  In reality, form and formlessness are not two.  The One is appearing as the many.  Don't try to grasp that intellectually.  Look to where the words are pointing in your direct experience.

31. I am a heroine user attempting to resolve the cause of my addiction. Since starting the Process I have repeated nightmares about similar past life experiences. I am struggling with the fear these nightmares generate. THE PRESENCE PROCESS focuses on healing the child within us, but what about working with our past life traumas? What if the cause of addiction is not in this life?

Health: It's All About Consciousness

Appendix II

 (Continued...

Even with reactivation of just the third strand, the human race will make an enormous evolutionary leap. Distance healing, telepathy, remote sensing, and so on will be commonly used to alter and shape ourselves. We will be awake, aware, living in consciousness and universal love. We are powerful beyond our imagination. We need to let go of the fear of this power and start awakening to our full potential. Then the possibilities will be endless.

Thought

Because our human consciousness and divine consciousness are fundamentally the same, we have within us the potential for the birth of a new kind of human. We have the possibility of witnessing something magnificent ╤the conscious birthing of a new humanity from our own being

Absolute Perfection is Here and Now.

(Continuation...)   

Q:  How can action born from imperfection lead to perfection?

M:  Action does not lead to perfection, perfection is expressed in action.  As long as you judge yourself by your expressions, give them utmost attention; when you realize your own being, your behavior will be perfect-spontaneously.
