Part 2 - 8

Getting Skills With Skillcraft

You will find that this method can be used to get anything; even something abstract like a skill. In fact, developing talent is just as much a process of filling a need as eating, or getting a new car. Developing a skill, rather than bringing a new object or person into your life, is a good way to begin experimenting with this method of getting what you want. But the method is the same, so play with this, as you will.

To begin really getting into this, it is best to start with something fresh. Leave all of your old "run of the mill" problems out of it for now. While you can definitely use this method on your favorite problems, it is best to learn a bit about it first. Use something where you are starting with a clean slate. The best way is by selecting and learning some physical activity that you have never done before. Pick something like art or music or writing or whatever creative skill you can think of that you do not already have. It is important that you pick something that you have never done, but always wanted to (or at least you want to now). It is by no means necessary that you spend a lot of time at it, but you can if you like. What is important is that you select a brand new skill so you can use it for a laboratory in Level Two exploration. This one skill is to be dedicated totally to the study of Skillcraft principles. What you learn in this is universal. You use the same technique to accomplish a new skill that you use to acquire a new object, a new crowd, or a new condition in your life. Use the new Skill for getting the hang of this procedure. That way you can get the idea of this goal-achieving technique without getting involved in your daily problems. If you take this technique and head right strait for your worst problem, you will be dealing with a lot of pre-conceptions and past patterns of thinking, feeling and acting. In this your waters will be on the muddy side, and a pure study of the technique itself is obscured. Therefore, learn the technique on something totally fresh. Pick a practice that you can enjoy, and use it exclusively for the purpose of exercising your Skillcraft technique.

You fulfill your desire from the timeless perspective by peering into the Waters of Life. Here you see yourself proficient at what you want to accomplish or satisfied with what you have acquired. When you can clearly imagine yourself as a master of the skill you are after, release it to the Frequency of Truth with the following command:

"With Love, I will this to be so."

With that action you have taken your next step. Since this is a new skill, and you can do whatever you want, take this step a few times. Do it until you feel like it seems really real. Play at seeing yourself where you want to be with it. Make special notice of feeling sure about releasing your will and your desire into the Frequency of Truth.

Each time you get your Intent/Desire all gathered up, and you release it, remain alert for inspiration. Get the hang of relaxing at this. In practice it is just a simple thinking process. Spend time at it and you will improve. The sequence is simple:

Look within and see yourself being the one who is completely fulfilled and content in the given area. Fill your inner waters with this. When you do this, you establish opposing views in your dual life (the life you have on the inside, and the life you live in the world). In the mortal world, you do not have what you want. That is why you want it. At the same time, within, you see yourself as the master of that desire. You can ignore the physical part of it. The physical part may be in a particular state at this moment, but it is changing all of the time anyway, so just keep an eye on it. Let it be what it is. Let it change in the direction you want. Separate the lack in your life from the fulfillment you experience within as you explore this area. Make a kind of training-game out of focusing on perfect completion. Know that the known absence of an object and the known presence of an object are both evidence that the object exists.

Release your fulfillment to the Frequency of Truth. Learn this point well. Work with it until it is natural. Here you get a glimpse of the way the Greater Life works, and a peek at exploration in levels to come. The reason you build fulfillment in your Inner Reality rather than focusing on the need, is because Life lives without limit or boundary. Life will play any game you want. If you command need into the Life within, your life will be filled with need. If you command fulfillment, your life will be fulfilled. The universe is completely literal in processing your desire. What you give in is what you get back out. What you release within will be what you get in your life experience.

Remain attentive after the release. This is the part where it is easy to get bogged down. This area magnifies the self-concept. The self-concept is a kind of filter to the life experience. What you actually, deep inside, believe you deserve will set the tone for all fulfillment activity. Make sure you understand that you are of a league of Being that far supersedes anything in time or space. You deserve all there is in the universe. No limit in the mortal experience has been found for this. You do not have to feel urgency, nor are you to assume an air of superiority. It is just a simple fact, like stars. You may have whatever you want... The challenge is to find what that really is. What you believe about yourself, and the achieving of your desire, will play a major role in how this process goes. In times when you forget you are using SelfCom, it is okay to have a poor opinion of yourself, if you feel that you must. But in the living of Level Two, you must sustain only the highest opinion of who and what you are. Now, don't go getting all smug or anything. Keep it light. You are not amazingly powerful because of anything you did. You were just made that way. Accept it. Forget getting all childish about excuses to the contrary or gloating over it. This is free-form experience here, so you can exclude whatever opinions of yourself you don't want. Just know that you can have anything. In this frame of mind, you will see a way of getting what you want. It may come to you in the form of an inspiration, or it may just drop into your life out of an obscure place. Watch for it. Be ready to act upon the right thing when you see it. Keep ready the spark of your ambition. You will know it is the right thing because it will feel right. When you see it, Have it.

The Road to Acquisition

Now, in this noisy-brain age of ours, there will be a lot of things that will occur to you. Some of them will be right, some will be wrong. There are a lot of "voices" in your head. Each emotion has a voice. Each reason has a voice. Each failure and each win also have their own voices. The skill in this method of SelfCom exploration is learning to discern what voice is actually the Frequency of Truth.

There are some guidelines. What you are looking for is the thought that has the most class. There will be an idea in there that feels really right. You will feel good just thinking about it. This is your next step. Do it. When you have done what you saw, and it feels correct to its point, perform the fulfillment release to the Frequency of Truth again.

Each time you do this, you will become aware of the next phase of your journey. Place no opinions on this. As long as you are feeling right in the face of your life, you are doing fine. Relax and enjoy the trip. Expect the unexpected. Know that if you really had the thing you wanted, there would be no need for a journey. If you truly knew where to fulfill your desire in a way that would be right for you, you would have it. Since you do not know, there is no way you can place expectations on where the journey goes, or how. All you can know for sure is that you will find the answer in a place that you have not yet looked, or in a place where you have looked but not seen.

So, in the case of your new talent, enter into a process of visualization, release and action. Use the steps above to get the idea of what to do next, and just do it. As time passes and familiarity increases, you will find that inspiration can come for quite some time... even as you act. It is possible to tune to the Frequency of Truth all the time. This is Skillcraft at its best.

The Frequency of Truth knows the universe from out of time. It knows where you are now, where you have to go to get what you want, and what will satisfy you when you get it. By yourself, you can be certain of none of these things until you are able to look at the whole thing in retrospect. Just ride it and do what you see you must do. As you perform this exploration, keep notes. Write down what you are after. Write down the inspirations you get regarding your objective. Take note of your own feelings and observations. Keep track of improvements. This project is an experiment in the River of life. Because of your mortal perspective, comprehensive analysis cannot readily begin until after the fact. Good notes will be useful in understanding your results.

There is another thing you should be aware of in this exercise. There is a natural rhythm to change in the Inner Reality for anyone embedded in the mortal perspective. Change of this type always follows the same pattern. There is a time, in the beginning, when things go really well. Then they bog down. If you stop when it bogs down, you will not achieve your desire. If you press on, you will find that you "break through" the bog-time and immediately rise to a new level of satisfaction. Try very sincerely to keep negative emotion completely out of this process. The cleaner you feel on the inside, the faster and better your results will be. Expect that your progress may bog down. When you notice it, apply your will and continue on... try even more if you want to speed things up.

During the bog-down period, you might think of every reason not to continue on. If a reason is good enough to make you change what you do, you may cease. You will be able to tell if you made the right decision by noticing whether or not the Desire returns. If you try for something and give up before you get it, and find yourself facing the same desire afterwards, you are in an area that needs to be resolved. Use your Will to continue. Especially when it seems darkest. If you cannot fly, run. If you cannot run, walk. If you cannot walk, crawl. If you cannot crawl, roll. Just keep moving. You will break through the dark period and find the Light you need. When you do, you will find it easier the next time. There is always this kind of "inertia" when you attempt to make conscious changes in your mortal life stream.

Your Inner Gauge

It is important then, as you explore Level Two, that you find a gauge you can use to keep an eye on how you are doing. This is not theoretical. This is a necessary tool in Level Two exploration.

Here it is:

Take a look at the feeling inside you right now... Got one? OK. Explore it a bit... get the idea that it is a pool of water within, and around you. Imagine that it has a temperature, a color, a density and a size. Imagine what it would be like to have that water just perfect, in every attribute. You would have the best feeling possible. You would have the highest awareness possible. Your attention would be unfettered. Your mind would run with crystal perfection. If this is not the state you are in right now, it is a good place to head for. Imagine it frequently. But no matter what state you see within, look at it enough to at least know what is normal, what is good, and what is not so good. Make a close observation of your feeling inside, and relate it to a body of a very special kind of water. Watch these waters within you and learn.

Use your journal to record your inner feeling as you explore Level Two. Keep a written record of the condition of your inner waters. It is not necessary to write an autobiography or anything. Just jot a quick mark or two about how you feel, and what you are using Skillcraft on. Here you have a gauge to see the results of your Skillcraft efforts, and to monitor a way of telling how you are doing. It is the inner waters& the inner feeling& that is your gauge. Learn to be aware of it. The more aware you are of the state of your inner waters, the more informative they will become.

Once you get used to monitoring and recording your inner feeling, and relating it to your experience of the moment, you will have a good way to keep track of a few important things. For one thing, this is a way to see the flow of your inner state across the time of SelfCom exploration. This is a valuable tool to apply. Actually, this is an interesting study to do for years. But you will find it useful even to see what the time-span of SelfCom looks like. You can notice that what you feel is related to what you do. You can use that information to monitor and adjust your thoughts and activities for a more desirable life experience...

Take your time exploring Level Two. Develop all the skills described to a point where you are able to perform them to your satisfaction. When you are ready, continue on...
