CHAPTER 7
WILLINGNESS AND ACCESSIBILITY
It would be too much to take all the buried reaches of the mind and open them up all at once. It would just be too overwhelming. And for this reason, the person keeps himself blocked because he knows that he would be smashed if he opened up the flood gates.
But people foolishly keep adding more and more layers of non-confronted things without ever retrieving anything from these hidden areas.
The simple solution is to release one thing at a time and gradually open up what has been hidden, exposing things at a rate that the person can tolerate.
Nobody could stand having all of their memories of all lifetimes returned to them in one big blast. But you can do this gradually, opening up the recall bit by bit and restoring the person’s identity as an immortal spirit.
There is that portion of the mind which is clear and open. This is where you are still aware and capable of operating consciously. And there is the black area that is buried so deep that you can’t get at it. And there is a gray band in between.
This gray band is the band of accessibility. This contains the things that are within your reach and which you can find and handle in processing.
As you remove things from this gray band and clear them up, more of the previously dark area comes up into the gray area. It is like stripping layers of sand, where you can’t dig too deep or the surrounding sand will fill in the hole, but where it is possibly to gradually take off an entire layer and expose the layer underneath.
The gray band may be narrow or wide. Being well fed and rested broadens the band because you are in better shape both physically and mentally. Being confident broadens it and being fearful of looking at things will narrow it down.
The wider the band, the more you can accomplish at a given time.
Having a skilled and competent professional working with you widens the band because you feel safer and trust him to handle it if you get into trouble.
Working alone makes the band narrower, which slows your progress. Therefore it is important to do some processing aimed at widening this band a bit.
We have already done some processes aimed at raising your confront, and you have learned some techniques which will help get you out of trouble. Both of these are factors which increase the band of accessibility. Now we will address a third factor, which is your willingness to find out things.
- From the broader perspective, there is no way that an immortal spirit could be permanently hurt, and therefore there is no knowledge which could truly harm you. But from the narrow human perspective, one can be afraid of finding out things. So let’s practice facing imaginary things so that it will be easier to confront the real ones when they come up.
You want to reach the point where you really don’t care how frightening or horrible an idea is. Instead, you just want the truth. As Jesus said “The Truth Shall Set You Free”.
