I have now completed the first time thru the Process and it is has been quite an experience. I am still a babe in the process. However I expect I will feel that way forever, as it is really a journey not a destination. One of my big insights is that most of my perceptions are really reflections of my beliefs as opposed to what is happening outside me. I often think things are not the way they should be. One of my friends recently called the situation he was in "Bizarre". For me I often react to these type of situations by thinking about how it "should" be. (I think I am full of shoulds.)However the Presence process tells me the situation is what it is and treat it as a messenger. So what is the message. The message is personal and related to my phyical, mental and emotional develoment. I often say to myself "it isn’t fair" and have a silent temper tantrum. Then I react angrily or fearfully. However if I can get to neutralize my negative emotional charge and see that the anger or fear is related to my beliefs and not this situation, which just is, then I can respond with love and caring. That is a big step and one that is part of my journey.
I am planning now to repeat the process and am not sure how to do that. My plan is to take a week to integrate things and then start week one again. I find each time I read a section I see it with new eyes and am clearly ready for some new fodder for the mill.
