Lifting the Cloud (Changing Feeling of 'I')

Step by step

1. Recognize your current 'cloud' (unlovely psychological state).
2. Withdraw your 'feeling of I' from the evidence of your senses (the current reality).
3. Place your 'feeling of I' in a predetermined, desirable state.
4. Clothe yourself in the feeling of this new state.
5. Understand that this 'lifts the cloud' and 'breaks the cycle of recurrence' of the old state.

To change your circumstances, 'lift the cloud' (your current psychological state) by withdrawing your 'feeling of I' from the evidence of your senses. Then, consciously place your 'I' in a predetermined, desirable state, clothing yourself in the feeling of that new state. This act 'breaks the cycle of recurrence' of the old state.

Let me lift the cloud from my testament by withdrawing the feeling of “I” from the evidence of my senses and move by placing my “I” in a predetermined state, and my whole world moves with me. Clothing myself in feeling, the cloud covers me as I testify to the state I have just entered. At this moment, you may have placed your feeling of “I” in an unlovely state and, unless you lift that cloud which covers you, you are anchored there and are incapable of changing the circumstances of your life. Now, this lifting of the cloud and placing your feeling of “I” in a more desirable state involves a death, for when the cloud rises, it breaks (or kills) the cycle of recurrence you have been on.

This technique uses the biblical imagery of the cloud to represent one's current state of consciousness. By consciously shifting the 'feeling of I' from the undesirable present to a desired future, one initiates a psychological 'death' of the old state and a 'journey' into the new, causing the entire world to conform.
