Courage
Faith cannot be considered without giving consideration also to Courage. Courage is not a given attribute of the Eternal personality. The whole idea of courage and fear has no meaning in the Eternal. You are Will and Love. All Life is. You are Eternal, unchangeable, and ever safe. Love sees no need for courage because Love sees no fear. Fear is an illusion of divided consciousness. It is a mistake made by the erroneous belief that something mortal could alter or harm something Eternal. This impossibility becomes a source of humor as you become illuminated. Complete Faith that Life made us Eternal and unchangeable generates courage that shines beyond the reach of any imagined fear. Courage is used in SelfCom exploration as an accelerator. The more you dare to let go of limiting beliefs, the more of yourself you are able to embrace. The more you dare to embrace, the more empowerment you will realize.
Part 1 14
Ambition
Take a moment to carefully contemplate the instant that Will is expressed. Look at the moment of getting up and acting. This instant is the essence of Ambition. When you think of something to do, you are forced to choose if you will do it, put it off ... or not do it at all. Ambition is not a static state of mind. It is a desire-driven pulse of your Will. You move or you remain still. There is a spark, a decision, and an action.... or there is nothing. Eagerly observe the instant you act. It matters not if your action is important or trivial. The mechanism is the same.
Increase the power of your ambition by practicing the skill of consciously and purposely acting. When you see the thing to do, and the right time to do it, act! In SelfCom exploration this idea of "consciously and purposely practicing life" is so important that it forms the heart of Skillcraft. When you consciously do the best and most thorough job you can do on something, and do it with the intent of getting better at it with new tries, you are practicing Skillcraft. The concept of Skillcraft will be expanded upon extensively throughout SelfCom.
Part 1 15
Worship
In SelfCom exploration, Worship does not mean going to a church and getting on your knees. Worship is a much more general concept as you live the role of Eternal Being. In SelfCom, worship means, "giving attention". The way you feed and maintain your personal belief structure, on a day-to-day basis, even each minute, is your Worship.
All SelfCom activity is executed with this perspective. This is a potent thought. What you think and what you do reveals what you worship. It does not matter what you say you worship. You worship what you serve by your service to it. Think about your life. What do you spend most of your time thinking about? Make an observation of this. Write it in your journal. What is important is that you begin to understand that worship is not a side issue in living. It is a process you use to anchor yourself to your life experience. Your worship is what you think about. Your worship is what you do. Your worship is the inner inclination towards acting a certain way. It is your deepest Stance as you live. This will be explored as you ascend through the levels of SelfCom.
Inner exploration requires that you begin getting a handle on your thought life. This is more than just being awake. This is being awake and doing something. As you assume the role you are playing, it will become more real. Find out what you are worshiping now and assess if it serves you in a desirable way. Acquaint yourself with the idea that each moment of your life is Worship directed towards something.
Consciously offering up your actions as worship makes a ceremony out of living. Notice what you hope. Notice what you fear. How much of your day and your power do you give to your hopes and fears? Assess all of this. Write it in your Journal to make this concept clear in your mind.
Remember that in the River of Life things grow in sharing. Whatever you get your power from becomes more powerful as you use it. That is how Worship works. Make sure, as you express your power, that it feeds the plan of Healing. Find ways to integrate your thoughts towards the Love that made you and openness to the guidance of the Frequency of Truth. Tune your attention to a pattern of awareness that aligns with what is right in the largest way.
Part 1 16
Learning SelfCom
Using SelfCom teaches you SelfCom. It is that simple. You don't need textbooks because experiences become your textbook. You don't need a human teacher because wanting to learn will teach you. You don't need a school because your life is your school. All you need is your Will to see the Truth and the desire to see it through. The Frequency of Truth arranges the rest.
Observe your thoughts and ask within for understanding.
Observe your feelings and ask within for peace.
Observe your actions and ask within for guidance. Upon asking, immediately embrace the affirmative answer with action of some kind. In other words, when you get an inspiration to act, DO IT!
Observe the thoughts, feelings and actions of others. Judge nothing. Just observe and act, knowing that you Desire the Truth. Take notes in your journal on this.
The amount of exploring that can be done in this area is staggering. But the beginning is very simple. As an Eternal Being you have total and unrestricted access to the River of Life. If you have developed habits, beliefs and patterns of thought that tend to keep your mind from looking within, they must be identified and overcome.
There are no barriers to Inner access. There is nothing to stop anyone if they want to just settle down and take a look inside. That is what different kinds of meditation and prayer are good for. But as a formal practice meditation is not a prerequisite for increased inner awareness. Exploration can be totally casual and unstructured too. The Frequency of Truth will meet you on any field you want to play. It exists everywhere. Each person is free to apply the techniques being taught here, or to apply their own techniques. If you practice turning your attention within, and observing what is inside you, and then looking for the same thing in others, you will see an increase in your ability to understand the Inner Reality.
Part 1 17
Inner Guidance
Have you noticed how many voices are in your mind? You often have someone in your imagination commenting on everything you do.... an image of a parent or a boss or whatever? This area will be explored extensively in Level Two but for now the point is that you want to make the Frequency of Truth one of the ones that you can hear within you.
You will find a period of adjustment in getting the hang of consciously "having company" within. Most people do not consciously consider the many voices of the mind. The Frequency of Truth is a refreshing guest to listen for, however. Often the "inner-company" that you may host in your daily life keeps you entranced. These voices judge you, and others. They cause distress, guilt and fear... or generate scenarios that deal with these things. It is just the Heat, causing you to run off at the brain. They are louder than the Frequency of Truth in most people. These thoughts happen on a different "mental channel" than the Frequency of Truth. SelfCom helps you to "change channels". As the Frequency of Truth is recognized, the many unpleasant states of mind begin to dim. Again, it is a process. All of it unfolds together as you explore.
While you perceive yourself as an Eternal Being you must acknowledge that the darkness in your mind is held there by your own will. One job of the Frequency of Truth is to help you unravel the mistakes and misunderstandings that keep your attention misdirected and your mind in darkness.
By listening to the guidance of the Frequency of Truth, you come to recognize events and people in your life differently. With new perspectives you discover new ways to live and deal with things. Use your journal to maintain a list of the realizations you have about yourself and the people around you.
In addition to voices the Heat puts other "noise" in your mind. You may have an almost constant push inside that is uncomfortable, and has no visible cause. There are scenarios of what has been... and what might be. There are clips of conversations. There are imagined conversations. You daydream. You plan. You justify. You prepare. You defend... It seems endless. Sometimes there are even recurring thoughts that seem to haunt you. Sometimes a particular fear or resentment or unrealized Desire rears up and makes you feel uncomfortable or unhappy.
Behind all of this noise, the Frequency of Truth quietly awaits. If you turn off the noise you will become aware of this very rapidly. You will find, however, that it can be quite a challenge to accomplish that. Most people have never even tried to "change channels" from the constant stream of thoughts. Unbridled, it entrances. It sops up your attention and burns away your years.When you first begin trying to get a handle on it, you will find that it seems to have a life of its own. When you catch yourself "running off at the brain" just open to the Frequency of Truth and say:
"I do not want to be distracted by this meaningless noise. I choose to be silent and hear your instruction."
Then be silent within. There will be a short but relaxing mental silence. Enjoy it fully. Linger in it for as long as you can. In this way you begin the process of stilling your mind and controlling your attention. This activity teaches a new state of consciousness. A simple expression of your Will is all the Frequency of Truth needs to open new worlds before you.
As you work with this you will gain a greater understanding of how the Frequency of Truth communicates with you. You will learn to recognize the Frequency of Truth in your conscience, in your intellect and as one of the "inner people" who direct you.
This can be a little tricky at first. It is important to learn ways to recognize the Frequency of Truth. Many of the "inner people", the urges, and the thoughts you deal with will try leading you away from gaining knowledge of the Greater Life. Only the Frequency of Truth can guide you all the way to your goal of complete inner restoration.
In the Spirit of clarity there are some things to know that will help you identify the Frequency of Truth. As you develop your own personal rapport you will of course find lots of ways to know. Your relationship will become quite automatic in many ways. At first, however, it is good to keep just a few guidelines in mind.
1. The Frequency of Truth will never give you a direct order. No form of force or pressure comes from the Frequency of Truth. All instruction from the Frequency of Truth is in the form of questions and "showing". The Frequency of Truth asks you questions and shows you options and ways.
2. The Frequency of Truth is never impatient. If you reject a teaching, the Frequency of Truth waits. If you become entranced, the Frequency of Truth waits. If you make a mistake, the Frequency of Truth forgives completely and instantly. It is okay to try. It is okay to fail. Your ultimate success is assured. Be as patient with yourself as the Frequency of Truth is with you. Grow in peace.
3. The Frequency of Truth never starts anything. The power that begins the teaching must come from you. You supply the willingness to continue. That is all that is required of you, but required it is. The Frequency of Truth will never start something that you do not will.
4. The Frequency of Truth never punishes. The Frequency of Truth is aware of your mortal beliefs and their resulting life. But this is not the light you are seen in. The Frequency of Truth knows only your Eternal nature. The Frequency of Truth sees your mortal presence as merely a form of distorted attention. In the view of the Frequency of Truth, you are only Perfection. Never will you be punished, but always comforted and gently informed. You get only the deep respect that you deserve by simply being you.
5. The Frequency of Truth always heals. The automatic result of contact with the Frequency of Truth is a definite sense of connectedness and empowerment. It feels right in a deep way.
6. The Frequency of Truth will never betray you or lie to you in any way. Not even a little bit.
7. The Frequency of Truth is never unsure. No wavering or "oops" or changing of the story comes from the Frequency of Truth. All lessons, comforts and provisions are dealt promptly and without obligation. All decisions are solid. All instruction is completely consistent.
Part 1 18
Restoring Power
Assuming the role of an Eternal Being must be seen from the right perspective. As you use SelfCom, imagine that you have come down to this mortal state from a higher... Eternal State. Assume the viewpoint that you created the limitations that now entrap you. You are not building yourself up from a position of weakness. You are collecting yourself back into your original condition of Eternal power. You are not putting on power. You are taking off things that obscure what you already are, and always have been.
Your empowerment is a process of restoration. It happens over a period of time. It occurs by observing life and living in new perspectives... It grows increasingly as it is applied.
As you embrace the perspective of Eternal Being you become restored and your power comes up. You do not actually change... yet you change. Look at it like this: If you get a backpack and fill it with rocks it will be heavy. If you put it on you will find that everything you try to do is harder. Further, if you forgot that it was there you would go through life with that bag of rocks on your back. Everything would be harder but you would carry on in your limited condition... After a time you would adjust to the limitation. Your stance would change. Your walk would change. Your whole life would be distorted from its original condition. Then if someone came along and lifted off the rocks, you would suddenly discover that you are more powerful than you thought. You would still be you. Your identity would not change at all but your ability to deal with life would change a great deal.... Here you find the essence of your Level One experience. This process is not the putting on of some rigorous form of discipline. It is the systematic removal of illusions that obscure your inner light and block it from shining out into your physical life.
There is no need to suffer or toil at all. You have suffered enough. Enjoying your life befits the sensitivity of your tired soul. Make pleasure out of imagining yourself as Love made you. Enjoy the freedom of being unencumbered with illusions of misery.
That is the beginning. That is Level One. That is how you become responsive to the Frequency of Truth and open the way for Level Two exploration.
