			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Classification of consciousness is usually, and rightly so, based on the particular filter through which we observe and experience things. This is typically related to focus through an emotional level such as grief, fear, enthusiasm, etc.</p>
<p>However, we might consider that level consciousness relates to the physical focus of our attention.</p>
<p>Here is a scale of consciousness for your consideration. You can read it from the bottom up.<br />
<span id="more-880"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Identification with Divine Essence</li>
<li>Identification with Divine Essence filling space</li>
<li>Attention on Divine Essence filling space</li>
<li>Attention on space, energies, objects, feelings, and Divine Essence</li>
<li>Attention on space and all its&#8217; contents</li>
<li>Attention on wider range of physical objects or feelings. Can be freely focused on a physical object or feeling of choice.</li>
<li>Attention directed to physical object or feeling of choice</li>
<li>Fixated on one physical object or feeling</li>
<li>Mental churning</li>
<li>Unconscious</li>
</ul>
<p>This is worth exploring. There are spiritual processes that can move us from each level to the next higher level.</p>
<p>Your friend,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I devoted thirteen years of my life to Scientology and Dianetics. Would you like me to save you a few hundred thousand dollars and a couple decades of your life?</p>
<p><span id="more-626"></span></p>
<p>Although there is controversy surrounding the organization, that isn&#8217;t important for our purposes here. My experience was that the vast majority of the members are well-intentioned and very hard-working.</p>
<p><strong>The purpose of this website is to offer you simple and free, or almost free, processes that you can use to discover and identify with Divine Essence.</strong></p>
<p>With that in mind, let&#8217;s look at an executive summary of Scientology and Dianetics as they relate to our purpose.</p>
<ul>
<li>There is an astronomical amount of information presented in many books and many hundreds of audio recordings.</li>
<li>Except for the introductory services, the prices are astronomically high and out of reach for most people.</li>
<li>The processing services require the assistance of a highly trained practitioner.</li>
<li>Most, if not all, of the processes are highly effective and produce a temporary state of euphoria. (The state is long lasting on processing that doesn&#8217;t delete negatives. There are some exceptions with processing that adds positives.)</li>
<li>The euphoric state is temporary because deleting a lot of negatives can produce a hole in the energy field around the body. The same, or similar problems can come back to fill in the hole. One of the Scientology bulletins explicitly states this and says that running lots of havingness processes resolves this problem. (Havingness processes help you become more aware of the here and now. They increase your ability to go for it.) For some reason, we won&#8217;t speculate why, that bulletin got lost and there is insufficient havingness processing in counseling sessions.</li>
<li>The Communication Training Routines are extremely helpful when done for many hours. However, they require a training course, a partner, and a schedule. Our observer meditations take it a step further. And you don&#8217;t need a course, a partner, or a schedule. Our divine essence meditations take it even farther.</li>
<li>Pleasure Moment Processing, a just-for-practice part of the Scientology Solo Course, produces persistent states of bliss. One Scientology organization started offering this as a service. Their public got so blissed out that they didn&#8217;t have any more problems. They stopped coming back for more services. The pleasure moment process was discontinued as a service. The Blissercise Book produces similar results with a different approach that doesn&#8217;t require a skilled practitioner.</li>
</ul>
<p>That&#8217;s the executive summary of Scientology and Dianetics. If you do our free meditations frequently, and if you do lots of the exercises in the Blissercise Book, you&#8217;ll save yourself a couple of decades and a few hundred thousand dollars.</p>
<p><strong>Hopefully you&#8217;re getting an appreciation for the value of what&#8217;s available on this website.</strong></p>
<p>The guided meditations are free. Please make very good use of them. Please use them repeatedly.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://blissercise.com" target="_blank">Blissercise Book</a> costs ten or twenty bucks. There are over 400 blissercises (bliss exercises) that you can use to feel better and better and better &#8230;</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Avatar Course lineup&nbsp;is&nbsp;a one of the most powerful self development&nbsp;systems available. I&#8217;m an Avatar Master / Professional / Wizard.</p>
<p><span id="more-622"></span></p>
<p>The objectives of the courses is to help you:</p>
<ul>
<li>manage your own attention</li>
<li>discreate limitations</li>
<li>create the life you wish</li>
</ul>
<p>You can do the thirty-two consciousness exploration exercises in the Avatar Course ReSurfacing Book. You can get this by itself or as part of a Power Package that includes a hard copy of Living Deliberately.</p>
<p>There are additional courses delivered by Avatar Masters and Trainers. These courses include.</p>
<p><strong>The Avatar Course Section I (ReSurfacing)</strong></p>
<p>Based on the ReSurfacing book, this course is presented by an Avatar Master. It&#8217;s usually delivered with a group. Often many masters come together and deliver the course to a large group of students.</p>
<p>Although you could certainly benefit from doing the course on your own, you&#8217;ll benefit even more from doing the course in the empowering group environment.</p>
<p><strong>The Avatar Course Section II</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>This section of the course gets your attention out of your head and opens the doorway to creating your own life. You let go of factors that tend to isolate you from others.</p>
<p><strong>The Avatar Course Section III</strong></p>
<p>This is extremely powerful material. You learn to discreate blocks that have been impeding your life. This includes emotions and beliefs. You learn one basic process that you use throughout all the Avatar Courses. This basic process is applied in various ways in a series of &#8220;rundowns&#8221;.</p>
<p>You finish the course in a very ascended state of extreme peace.</p>
<p><strong>The Avatar Master Course</strong></p>
<p>This is where you learn to deliver the Avatar Course to others. However, there are some very significant exercises that will help you in every phase of life.</p>
<p>You learn how to empower others without touching them or saying anything. This is absolutely amazing. This is the way to go through life. I use this throughout the meditation retreats that I offer personally.</p>
<p>You learn and practice an extremely powerful process to eliminate inner conflicts and outer conflicts.</p>
<p>My experience was that other people got a lot friendlier after I started using this process.</p>
<p><strong>The Avatar Master Internship</strong></p>
<p>This is where you deliver the Avatar Course to your students under the supervision of experienced trainers. This brings breakthroughs in personal responsibility and productivity.</p>
<p><strong>The Avatar Professional Course</strong></p>
<p>This seven day course is a major gift to yourself.</p>
<p>You become even more skilled at empowering others. In the process, you start experiencing life in a magical state of wonder.</p>
<p>You learn and practice a special process that reduces your separation from your true self as well as separation from others.</p>
<p><strong>The Avatar Wizard Course<br /></strong>&nbsp;<br /> This thirteen day course is delivered once a year in the Orlando, Florida area. When you do this, you are in a room with over 1,000 people doing highly advanced work in consciousness. The course is truly amazing.</p>
<p>The entire Avatar Course lineup can be quite powerful and effective.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re willing to discipline yourself, you can get similar benefits through various letting go techniques.</p>
<p>Many of the meditations on this website have been created after gaining realizations from the Avatar Course lineup.</p>
<p>You have to start out in reasonably good condition in order to benefit from these courses. There are other systems, such as Transformational Breathing, that work on anybody.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You can write to feel better. At least it works for me.</p>
<p>Sometimes when you&#8217;re not quite with it, or if you&#8217;re not feeling too awesome, you can write your heart out.<span id="more-9"></span></p>
<p>And if you&#8217;re already feeling good, you can write to feel even better.</p>
<p>There is a secret to this particular form of writing. You don&#8217;t stop to think. You simply let it rip.</p>
<p>If you find yourself stuck, simply write anything. It doesn&#8217;t have to be some piece of literature that will alter the course of civilization. This particular writing is devoted to you personally. It is for your eyes only. It is for your own personal gain.</p>
<p>The idea is to get the thinking mind out of the way. Simply let it go. Depending on your belief system, you could get the idea that some Higher Power is working through you.</p>
<p>Actually this process, stepping aside and letting a Higher Power work through you, is a major step in advancing to a higher level of consciousness &#8211; a higher level of existence.</p>
<p>The temptation is to say that this is not to be taken lightly. However, you evolve past seriousness when you take things lightly. This is not abandoning responsibility, it is letting go of the rigid emotions that limit our ability to be effective in the world.</p>
<p>Letting go can be tremendously powerful. We could do a nine day retreat on simply letting go. It is simple and life changing.</p>
<p>A good start on all of this is to simply let go when you&#8217;re writing. You don&#8217;t even have to come back later and edit your writing. The act of writing is what helps you.</p>
<p>This is called stream of consciousness writing. A couple of years ago I wrote a complete novel with stream of consciousness writing. The novel came through me in unexpected ways. There was a sudden appearance of an unexpected character who wound up fitting perfectly into the novel.</p>
<p>However, you don&#8217;t have to wind up with writing that makes sense. For the purposes of feeling good, just let it rip.</p>
<p>Should you&#8217;re writing be happy, angry, sad, or &#8230;? There is value in purging your unhappy and angry thoughts. If you&#8217;re really bummed out, you can express yourself in writing. It is one way to purge your negative feelings.</p>
<p>However, I wouldn&#8217;t suggest that you keep that up for a very long time. There is tremendous value in writing from a positive viewpoint. Abraham-Hicks suggests various spiritual exercises where you write about things in a positive way.</p>
<p>You can create a spiritual path that is based on positive writing. My book <strong><a href="http://blissercise.com">Rocket Fuel for the Soul</a></strong> has over four hundred exercises called blissercises &#8211; bliss exercises. It invites you to look at things differently.</p>
<p>May the bliss be with you.</p>
<p>Jim</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the greatest tyrants in my own life has been the stuff that surrounded me. Stuff to the left of him. Stuff to the right of him. Into the valley of stuff rode the would-be hero. <span id="more-7"></span></p>
<p>As a computer entrepreneur I collected books and papers that supposedly would support my efforts at financial conquest. As a would-be health expert I collected books and articles that I would read some day. As a spiritual student I collected masses of books, papers, and tape sets that would support my enlightenment. Actually some of those really helped my spiritual growth.</p>
<p>My potential Armageddon wasn&#8217;t from fire. It was from a possible avalanche of stuff.</p>
<p>Hermes said &#8220;As above so below. As below so above.&#8221; You might say that <strong>having a lot of stuff in the physical plane corresponds to having a lot of stuff in the mental and emotional planes</strong>.</p>
<p>Although I was a legend in my own mind, I wound up getting evicted from my apartment shortly after the dot com crash.</p>
<p>I was able to put some stuff into a five by ten storage room. And I was able to give away some stuff. But most of it wound up in the dumpsters. There simply wasn&#8217;t enough time to get it all into dumpsters before the sheriff would arrive at my doorstep. If I happened to be there, he would exercise force to get me away from my former home and my beloved stuff.</p>
<p>However, I did have the time to drop my college diplomas into the dumpster. I did this with little ceremony. But it was quite a turning point in my life. All of that so-called education didn&#8217;t do me much good. Here was this &#8220;educated&#8221;, hard working, &#8220;spiritually advanced&#8221;, well meaning person becoming homeless.</p>
<p>You would think that this would devastate me.</p>
<p>The surprise was that my last walk out of my home brought an unbelievable sense of freedom. Heavy mental and emotional energy lifted off of me. Everything looked bright and alive. I felt bright and alive. I was bright and alive.</p>
<p>Life became an adventure, a series of great learning experiences, and a fast track to bliss. But that&#8217;s another story.</p>
<p>May the bliss be with you.</p>
<p>Jim</p>
