Three possible techniques for expressing your life: We create and hold good thoughts and emotions about ourselves and
the world. We practice producing good intention, and we practicing
maintaining good thoughts and emotions. Also, we pay attention to any
good thoughts and emotions that may arise spontaneously, and ignore but
do not fight against any bad thoughts and emotions. Then, we allow our
behavior to express those good inner experiences in order to bring
benefit to ourselves and all others. To do this technique, we bring
up good visual images in our minds, good auditory thoughts in our minds,
and good emotional feelings in our bodies. We imagine someone we
respect, or we repeat a useful phrase in our heads, or we feel gratitude
or love in our hearts. Any bad thoughts or emotions that come up are no
problem. We let them come up. But we don't pay attention to them. We
just pay attention to good thoughts and emotions, creating them and
maintaining them for a set period of time. We then express that in our behavior.
We let go of all intentions.
We may need intentions sometimes, but
for a period, we practice letting go of all of them. Any time we find
ourselves interfering with our experience in any way, doing anything at
all, we drop the intention to do so. Then, whenever bad intentions come
up in our daily lives, we drop them. We drop the intention to do
anything at all. To do this technique, sit down
for a set period of time. During that time, just don't do anything. Any
time you notice that you are intentionally doing something, such as moving, thinking about something, not thinking about something, trying to concentrate, etc, stop doing
it. Things that you are doing unintentionally, like breathing, are no
problem. Don't even try to search for things
you are doing intentionally. But if you notice that you are doing anything on purpose, stop doing it. We make good decisions. The quality of our decisions, and the degree
to which we live by them, creates every part of the future that we
create. To do this technique, use this decision
guidance to learn and practice it. Then use it through your day, for
big and small decisions.
This is done for the benefit of all beings. Therefore, I am called "Forall." |
