Psychological Motion (Using a Frame of Reference)

Step by step

1. Extract your 'I' (consciousness) from its current state.
2. Place your 'I' in a predetermined desired state.
3. While in this new state, imagine the reactions of people (your 'frame of reference') to your new reality.
4. Look for confirmation of your move in their imagined expressions.
5. Feel the change in your 'I' as an automatic alteration in your life's expression.

To experience psychological 'motion' (changing states), extract your 'I' (consciousness) from its current position and place it in a predetermined desired state. To confirm this internal move, use a 'frame of reference' by imagining the reactions of others (e.g., surprise, happiness, jealousy) to your new state, until you feel the change in your 'I'.

Motion can be detected only as a change of position with respect to another body, and all motion spoken of in scripture is psychological. Every state exists in this psychological land from which your “I” journeys. All you need do is extract your “I” from where it is now and place it in your predetermined state. But how will you know you have moved? By using a frame of reference. While sitting quietly in your chair, you can lift your cloud by placing the feeling of “IF” in an entirely different psychological state. No one can see this motion, for yours is a spiritual journey. While in the state, look for confirmation of your move on the faces of people there. Are they surprised to see you? Are they happy for you? A little jealous? Look, until you see the expressions on their faces. If there is a change in your feeling of “I,” you will find an automatic alteration in your usual expression of life.

This technique emphasizes that all true change is psychological. By imaginatively shifting one's 'I' into a new state and using the imagined reactions of others as a 'frame of reference', one can confirm the internal shift, which will then automatically alter external life.
