"Learning to die is learning to live."
- Ingrid Schmithüsen
I am Ingrid. I am born because I was needed.
I did great for about 3 years, and then emotions and box mechanisms took over.
When I was 30 years old, I lost for the first time my singing voice. Not a good thing for a professional singer.
The loss of my voice set me back on track, to the path of consciousness.
First through the encounter of a seer, later through non-violent communication, the Work of Byron Katie and then Possibility Management.
Almost 2 years ago, I had the first slight symptoms of a disease called:
bulbar form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - ALS.
I lost my voice again, this time my speaking voice.
I was ready for this disease, in the sense that I didn’t put any story on it.
This disease exists in the world. Why it should not happen to me?
I am back on track.
I am what is needed.
I live full out.
I love my life, every single second of it.
You are born because you were needed. You lost track, like everybody else, in your childhood, through one or several traumatic experiences or because you learned being adaptive.
There is nothing wrong to loose track. The important thing is to get back on track without reproaching yourself, in other words, without falling into parent voice mode.
This is called Decontamination. Other words are Clarity or Path of Enlightenment or Wisdom or Personal Growth.Possibility Management offers Decontamination with a capital D.
I did 14 months of daily practice of Decontamination, 10 to 30 minutes a day. I started this practice 6 months before my first tiny little symptoms, and one year before the diagnosis of ALS.This practice allowed me to have no resistance at all, neither for the symptoms, nor for the diagnosis. I stopped the practice two months after the diagnosis because I felt I have integrated living (most of the time) in non resistance.
Usually when we encounter things we don’t like, for example nasty problems and difficulties or “bad
news”, we develop resistance in one or more of our five bodies.Due to our past, we repeat old patterns in situations which need our full
creative potential. I was lucky enough to have friends with their
swords out to tell me when I was in victim mode. Before, I didn’t
even know that I was in victim mode. I thought I was right.That was three years before I was diagnosed. In this short amount of time, I have changed from a complaineress (about my husband) to a creatoress, and from an
adaptive life in a box to a person who lives full out.
If I can do it, you can do it too.
Decontamination is one way. There are many others. If
Decontamination resonates with you, you might find the video I did
after one year of practice, four days after the diagnosis helpful.(the video, with German subtitles, with French subtitles)
What else has changed?
I discovered that not doubting myself is a decision, one of many harvests of my Decontamination practice.
Doubting yourself is listening to bullshit.
I decided to not doubt myself, not for a single second.
One year after the diagnosis, I had some really tough weeks when I lost 'my' last spots of autonomy. I learned that 'my' physical body is not mine.
It belongs to Life. I have to give up any idea of 'my' or 'mine'.
ALS is considered a disease without pain, but I had severe pain due to spasticity.
I developed the reflex to be in a Here and Now of 3 seconds in the moment I feel
pain or discomfort. It works.And it works for emotional 'discomfort' too, like fear, anger and sadness.
Over time, not only my speech slowed down, before I lost it completely, everything is slowing down. I love it.
Slowness makes room for the comedy of Life.
I have never laughed as much as I do now. Together with my
caregivers, we discover how hilarious life is, for example when I get
a Salvador Dali moustache from my smoothie while eating.Such simple things take on a different dimension through slowness.
It is the pace of Love.
Life is not a drama, but a comedy.
I live in Love and Joy.
I think that is what Life wants for you too.
If I can do it, you can do it too.
Requiem for Ingrid Schmithusen
Dear Ingrid, what a pleasure and an honor to be part of this village that you have gathered from your Love and your Being. How special that you created the possibility of a deep village connection for so many people. We were nearly 100 people being together celebrating you and celebrating your life.
This was Requiem, a ceremony from Archiarchy. Most cultures come together after a person has already died. That is safer. Nobody knows the incompletes you carry with someone when you attend a modern culture funeral. In Archiarchy, we come together before a person dies to complete communications in life with the whole village as witness. This way the communication is more risky.
What if the person does not die then? Requiem is a huge healing space. It is possible that so much changes they don't have to die now. If that happens, the village comes back together and we have a further Archan ceremony. We call it Resurrection.
An in-person Requiem can last up to three days and nights. Online we met for over two hours. Still a lot more could have been shared, even though a lot was shared. There are so many examples of the best possible things a person could say to another person. It is love happening.
If you intend to watch the Requiem, prepare some tissues.
Song at the end of the Requiem for Ingrid Schmithusen
WELCOME !
from Vera Luísa Franco
WELCOME INGRID! I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE.
I want to share a legend about Ingrid, because even with the ALS she is more alive and creative than many people I know who have no problem moving their body or chewing food.
Ingrid started her journey in Possibility Management with the study group. At some point I remember holding an EHP for her and saw how much gusto for aliveness she had in her, how much despite some adversities— including the risk that she would be somewhat crystallised in her old ways—she was determined to unfold beyond the prison of the role of a woman in patriarchy, of a woman after 50, and of a social worker.
Ingrid came to one of my online ETBs and the 9 of us went through the journey in March 2021 unfolding more and more, and becoming less and less modern-culture-insane. Ingrid was the elder of the group but went even more full out than some of the younger participants.
At some point Ingrid came into the Possibilitator Training and last year was diagnosed with ALS. She not only continued to participate in the calls that sparked her heart, but her participation was very creative. She recorded videos from her clarity and experience in 3 different languages, and even when using an automated voice to speak the words she typed in the study group calls, the rest of the group could easily feel her.
Now the even more amazing legend is that at some point Ingrid was having trouble sleeping or falling asleep because of physical discomforts and complications of the ALS. So she started a telegram group with daily evening calls where the village can just breathe with her. She goes to sleep and wakes up to the faces of loved ones across the world, and her simple space is healing in and of itself.
Ingrid you create with so much love breaking rules about what it is to be with a diagnose, or physical limitations, and make more love happen on the world. We are lucky to have you in it!
To Ingrid with Love from Nicole
I have something, after reading you above, Ingrid, I don't know how it will come but I will go...
I have been watching you, holding space for you, with you, you have held space for me, before and since your diagnosis.
Somehow you have been becoming more alive since your diagnosis than I think you were before. I see you putting to use what you were already learning in an even smaller here and now and this makes you unlike any person I ever encountered who 'knew' they were going to die in the not-so-distant or unknown future.
You encounter real losses, like when you lost the abilty to swallow water, and to turn your body in your bed, and (almost?) immediately you grieved. Then you kept on living, shining, loving and learning.
It is as if you have no resentment that you have a disease. You do not take revenge on your body for getting sick, nor do you blame anyone, not yourself, nor your culture. It floors me. Maybe that expression, 'floors me', means it brings me, too, closer to reality.
I will die one day. I have yet to discover how it will go for me. Being alongside you while you discover how it goes for you has shifted my questions from "how will I cope with dying?" to "how do I keep living while I am coming closer and closer to the exit door of my physical body life, which is called 'death', regardless of how or when it happens"?
The cool thing is I get to start now. And now. And now. I get to hear about things you did in the past that set you up for learning what you are learning now. I get to see you as a living example of living full-out all the way to death.
Sometimes I pull away from spaces with you, because it is so maddening for me that I let myself be dead in the ways I do. What are they? Putting myself under pressure to 'succeed', be a better Possibility Manager, space holder, person. You don't give creedence to any of that, you just BE YOU and do what you want, and it is inspiring, transformational, sobering, and deeply touching for me.
I am alive because I am needed. You said this to me and I am slowly but surely letting it in. I have a sense of what I am needed for, and that each moment I breathe, I can become an answer to what I am needed for.
I cannot tell how much more time I have to be what I am needed to be, here in this physical body. I am falling in love with my physical body more and more, after taking it for granted (which it was - it was granted!), relating to it as the extraordinary, constant and astonishing intersection of five bodies that it is. For a limited time only.
My birthday suit will be my deathday suit.
It wears goosebumps more often, and I love this.
I used to try to prepare myself for when you, Ingrid, will die. I am learning to live alongside of you, from over here on the other side of Canada. It is, I have decided, the only fitting practice for how I will 'cope' after you die.
You are an Archetypal force of nature. You have brought Love to me that feeds me and creates possibility for me to be what is needed.
I will open some more to let that in.
Thank you for the gift of the example you are living. This example - YOU - are certainly needed.
Love, Nicole
WHAT DIES?
HOW CAN DYING SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS?
WHAT CAN YOU DO IF SOMEONE INVITES YOU TO BE WITH THEM AS THEY DIE?
'Tis a Fearful Thing
‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –
to be,
and oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
and a holy thing,
a holy thing
to love.
For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.
(Yehuda HaLevi)
Learning To Die - Crossing the threshold into life.
...written by Millicent Haughey
You are taught many things growing up, not how to die. It is a very important skill that is missing in modern culture education.
As a teenager two of my friends chose to kill themselves literally and they did. They succeeded in taking their own lives.
Adolescence is a time of great transition. Transition means to change from one form to another in doing so, you die to what was.
It is likely adolescence is the first time it becomes necessary to consciously engage with the process of dying.
However, the village does not remember yet the wisdom of how to be with a dying person. Especially a young, dying person.
YOU ARE ALL OF IT
By CLARE DUBOIS from TreeSisters
My partner Mark brought a dreadful influenza 'bug' back from the East Coast a month ago. If it wasn't Covid, it was its first cousin and boy did it have its way with us. I feel like I literally lost three weeks timewise, and yet there was such gold to be found in that feverish slog. Boy was that such a thing.
During the six nights where I barely slept, sitting up coughing solidly from 8pm until the following morning, it turned into the most extraordinary practice of breath management, focus and prayer. The only way to not cough was to literally hold my breath, and focus on every sensation that took my attention elsewhere to soothe my system. Unexpectedly, that practice constantly took me to Gaza, so much so that my night times literally felt split between two worlds.
Dying Instructions from a Dying Person
NOTE: As it turns out in reality, we are all dying persons...
White Witch of Tenerife:
the life and work of Elsemarijke Koster
As a healer, Elsemarijke Koster discovered an abundance of original knowledge and gained so much clarity about living and dying that Clinton Callahan could not help but write an entire book from his month of recorded interviews with her. One of Elsemarijke's unique talents was to exit her body and enter the etherial planes to accompany people as they died. There she would sit with the being, observing nurses, doctors, friends, and relatives as they regarded the dead person's body with their feelings, comments, and unanswered questions. Many times she could serve as an intermediary for questions such as, "Where is the key to the safety deposit box holding the Last Will and Testament," or, "What is the combination to the safe with all the important insurance papers?" The 'dead' person would tell Elsemarijke Koster the answers, then Elsemarijke would come out of trance and tell the worried people what they needed to know. "This book is so full of treasured stories and insights about life as a human being. If you or anyone you know is planning to die, you should read this book."
Skills That Help You Learn To Die
Books
Learning to die could very well involve some learning...
Plain Radical: Living, Loving and Learning to Leave the Planet Gracefully by Robert Jensen (about Jim Koplin)
There was nothing out of the ordinary about Jim Koplin. He was just your typical central Minnesota gay farm boy with a Ph.D. in experimental psychology who developed anarchist-influenced, radical-feminist, and anti-imperialist politics, while never losing touch with his rural roots. But perhaps the most important thing about Jim is that throughout his life, almost literally to his dying breath, he spent some part of every day on the most important work we have: tending the garden. Plain Radical is a touching homage to a close friend and mentor taken too soon. But it is also an exploration of the ways in which an intensely local focus paired with a fierce intelligence can provide a deep, meaningful, even radical engagement with the world.
American Book Of The Dead by E. J. Gold
This unique contemporary work brings the timeless Tibetan Bardo teaching into current American culture and language, with 49 days of readings for someone who has died or who is preparing for the dying experience. This book has been and still remains an important tool for providing a spiritual service to a dying person as opposed to grieving, processing loss, or mourning for that person's passage. The subjects E.J. Gold covers in his many books range from the use and invocation of attention and presence; the waking state; death and dying; practical work on self; shamanism; higher bodies; artifact reading, imprinting and use; cosmic laws; and the suffering of the Absolute. Central to his work is preparation for the Bardo - the Tibetan word for the state following death of the body, as the consciousness unravels and one chooses one's next rebirth. Mr. Gold affirms that through knowledge and experience one can navigate this state and successfully maintain a thread of consciousness between lifetimes, and in this way can become an individual evolving Soul with a greater purpose than ordinary man. To aid others in achieving this end, Gold has entered cyberspace, building an elaborate gaming engine with which he can simulate spaces common to the Bardo, inventing labyrinthine games to be played individually or in multi-user groups. In this way, he hopes to convey the atmospheres and sights of many bardo spaces, to familiarize the player with what they are likely to encounter on the other side.
Journey To Ixtlan by Carlos Castaneda
In Journey to Ixtlan, Carlos Castaneda introduces readers to this new approach for the first time and explores, as he comes to experience it himself, his own final voyage into the teachings of don Juan, sharing with us what it is like to truly "stop the world" and perceive reality on his own terms.Originally drawn to Yaqui Indian spiritual leader don Juan Matus for his knowledge of mind-altering plants, bestselling author Carlos Castaneda immersed himself in the sorcerer's magical world entirely. Ten years after his first encounter with the shaman, Castaneda examines his field notes and comes to understand what don Juan knew all along--that these plants are merely a means to understanding the alternative realities that one cannot fully embrace on one's own.
The Impossible Conversation: choosing reconnection and resilience at the end of business as usual by Dean Walker
The Impossible Conversation is about keeping our hearts open even when we consider the most challenging aspects of our present and near future. In The Impossible Conversation we are invited to intimately reconnect: with our own inner wisdom, with the miracle that is every other human and with our magnificent, magnanimous Earth. What a relief to see the situation defined not as a 'problem' that can be 'solved', but rather as a 'predicament' that we must live with. The kinds of 'reconnection' described by Walker (reconnection with deeper self, with others, and with the Earth) would be attractive even if the situation were normal. Given humanity's self-generated situation on Earth, reconnections are necessary. From now on, we can only grieve what we have inadvertently done to ourselves: grieve, and live intensely; behave well as we witness the gathering storm. Very few people want to accept this, and prefer to persist as if our way of life could continue. It is time for reconciliation. Here is how.
Spiritual Midwifery by Ina May Gaskin
The original Spiritual Midwifery, published in 1976, introduced an entire generation of young women to the possibility of home birth and breast feeding. It also breathed new life into the all-but-vanished field of midwifery. This classic book on home birth is now in its fourth edition, with updated information on the safety of natural childbirth, new birthing stories, and the most recent statistics on births managed by The Farm ecovillage Midwives. Ina May also provides new information about potentially dangerous techniques routinely used in hospitals during and after birth, as well as the latest findings about VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean). Improved instructions for handling breech births are also given. Included are stories of working with Amish women, showing a different culture with a similar appreciation for natural childbirth.
Coming Back To Life by Joanna Macy and Molly Brown
Deepening global crises surround us, causing many to fall prey to denial and despair. Coming Back to Life shows how grief, anger, and fear are healthy responses to the harsh realities of our time, and that when honored, they can free us from paralysis and move us toward creative action. This new, completely updated edition of the classic text illuminates the extraordinary Work that has inspired hundreds of thousands to make strides towards the creation of a life-sustaining human culture. Buddhist scholar and environmental activist Joanna Macy and Molly Young Brown introduce the Work's theoretical foundations, revealing the angst of our era with remarkable insight. Pointing the way forward out of apathy, they offer personal counsel as well as easy-to-use methods for group process that profoundly affect people's outlook and ability to act in the world.
Getting Real by Lee Lozowick
Adrift on the currents of worldly concerns, many who are serious about the spiritual path wonder how we can live our day-to-day lives with integrity and honour, in resonance with eternal truths. This is a collection of brash, wise and compassionate essays for those interested in the transformation process.
Star Maker by (William) Olaf Stapledon
Star Maker is the science fiction classic about a human who is transported out of his body and finds himself able to explore space and other planets. The story describes a history of life in the universe and tackles themes such as the essence of life, of birth, decay and death, and the relationship between creation and creator. A pervading theme is the progressive unity between different civilizations.
When Things Fall Apart: heart advice for difficult times by Pema Chödrön
How can we live our lives when everything seems to fall apart--when we are continually overcome by fear, anxiety, and pain? The answer, Pema Chödrön suggests, might be just the opposite of what you expect. Here, in her most beloved and acclaimed work, Pema shows that moving toward painful situations and becoming intimate with them can open up our hearts in ways we never before imagined. Drawing from traditional Buddhist wisdom, she offers life-changing tools for transforming suffering and negative patterns into habitual ease and boundless joy.
Self Observation: the awakening of conscience: an owner's manual by Red Hawk
This book is an in-depth examination of the much needed process of 'self'-study known as 'self observation'. We live in an age where the 'attention function' in the brain has been badly damaged by TV and computers - up to 90 percent of the public under age 35 suffers from attention-deficit disorder! This book offers the most direct, non-pharmaceutical means of healing attention dysfunction. The methods presented here are capable of restoring attention to a fully functional and powerful tool for success in life and relationships. This is also an age when humanity has lost its connection with conscience. When humanity has poisoned the Earth's atmosphere, water, air and soil, when cancer is in epidemic proportions and is mainly an environmental illness, the author asks: What is the root cause? And he boldly answers: failure to develop conscience! Self-observation, he asserts, is the most ancient, scientific, and proven means to develop this crucial inner guide to awakening and a moral life.
The Master Game: pathways to higher consciousness by Robert S. De Ropp
The Master Game is a book concerned with games and aims. It is a compelling exploration of the human psyche and of the specific techniques through which man can achieve the highest possible levels of consciousness. This exploration, which involves every aspect of human behavior--the instinctive, motor, emotional, and intellectual--is, in the words of the author, "The only game worth playing."
Going Dark by Guy McPherson
We are the last individuals of our species on Earth. How shall we respond? How shall we act? If industrial civilization is maintained, climate change will cause human extinction in the near term. If industrial civilization falls, sufficient ionizing radiation will be released from the world's nuclear power plants to cause human extinction in the near term. In the wake of this horrific conclusion, conservation biologist Guy McPherson proposes we act with compassion, courage, and creativity. He suggests we act with the kind of empathy for which humans are renowned. In other words, he suggests we act with decency toward the humans and other organisms with which we share this beautiful planet. Going Dark is the story of one scientist's response to the horrors we face. It is a deeply personal narrative infused with abundant evidence to support its terrifying claims.
Dying Experiments
There are three arenas for creating what you want:
1. Focusing on other people's feedback about what you should want.
2. Focusing on your understanding of what you want.
3. Focusing on what you want.
To make a Proposal you need to be able to say, "I want..."
because if you are going to hold space for a team, or a project,
and you think it is not polite to say "I want...",
then you won't be the Space through which the Bright Principles can serve your gameworld.
It is also crucial to know which 'I' is doing the wanting...
FACE THE REALITY THAT PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS DIED, EVERYWHERE
Matrix Code LEARNDIE.01
Modern society represses death. It is as if it does not exist.
When someone turns 80, we congratulate them with the words: "Congratulations! Here's to the next fifty years!" (Probably not.)
Modern medicine has the task of keeping the physical body alive for as long as possible.
Nursing homes and intensive care units are full of people who are kept alive artificially with the help of technology and the pharmaceutical industry.
We have forgotten how to die because we don't know how to really live.
Walk through a cemetery. All over the world, there are some beautifully designed urban cemeteries with tall, shady trees.
Walk through the rows and look at the graves. Read the inscriptions on the gravestones and work out how long the deceased person lived.
Think about the family structures. There lie the grandparents, here the parents, there the children.
An old epitaph reads:
"Remember me as you pass by.
Where you go now, there once was I.
Where I am now, soon you will be.
Prepare yourself to follow me."
Sit on a bench and look at the other people walking around. Those who tend the graves, those who come to funerals.
There are over 200 cemeteries in Berlin.
Make a short visit to a cemetery every day.
Do this for a whole week.
Take your Beep! Book with you. Let your thoughts and feelings run free and take notes.

ASK SOMEONE FOR A CONSCIOUS TOUCH
Matrix Code LEARNDIE.04
Written by Ingrid:
We are a society of touchlessness, both literally and figuratively.
And how much we are longing for loving touch. With this illness, all barriers are falling.
I have never experienced as much touch as I do now.
I get creamed, face and body, I am moved to prevent ankylosis, my visitors
stroke my cheeks and hold my hand incessantly, friends offer me
massages which I happily accept.Touch is infinitely good for the body, the mind, the feeling heart, the energy and the shared connection.
Without touch we die. Touch brings peace.
Experiment:
Once a day, ask someone for a conscious touch.It could be a request to rub on sunscreen, holding the hand for a moment, a hug, kneading the feet, and so on and so forth... Happy experimenting !

SHIFT YOUR LIFESTYLE TO INCLUDE EXPERIENCING THE SPEED OF LOVE EVERY DAY
Matrix Code LEARNDIE.06
Written by Ingrid:
I can't speak, only with my speaking app on the tablet. There are many situations where I don't have the tablet to hand or can't reach it, e.g. in the bathroom or while eating.
In these situations I use my now very weakened left hand to make myself understood. It sometimes takes a while before the person I'm talking to, guesses what I want to say. I celebrate every little understanding with a high five or a thumbs up.
It brings a lot of fun and real Joy into Life.
Try it out! It adjusts everyday life to the speed of Love.
The experience of Love has a speed limit.
If you are faster than the speed limit of the experience of Love - and we usually are - then Love is there, but you can't feel it. Only YOU can change this.
Celebrate together every single understanding.

DO ENOUGH EMOTIONAL HEALING PROCESSES TO DISCOVER YOUR COLLECTION OF PAST LIVE VOWS
Matrix Code LEARNDIE.08
During certain 'Past Lives' you made significant decisions or 'Vows' to always do, or always avoid doing, specific things. These Past Life Vows have shaped your life until now. Why? Because a Vow shapes your Being, and if you do not return to the moment you made the Vow and make a different Vow, you forget that you made the old original Vow and it will continue to shape your future lives, and probably not for the better.
This experiment is to use a series of 5 or more Emotional Healing Processes (EHP) from Possibility Coaches or from EHP Dojos online or in person to document your Past Lives to discover and remake your old Past Life Vows.
After that, you can begin to explore and enjoy a new life now.

REDUCE THE LENGTH OF TIME YOU PAY ATTENTION TO AS 'NOW'
Matrix Code LEARNDIE.09
When your NOW is big, your life is short.
On the other hand, when your NOW is short, your life seems longer.
List in your Beep! Book all the things you consider painful or uncomfortable that you would like to skip over or pass through with the greatest of ease. These are the things you do not want to live through because you judge them as bad or a waste of time.
In this Experiment, your challenge is to regard every single moment (every block of 3 seconds) as an entire lifetime of valuable experience, not to be missed no matter what, even if you are standing in line at the Post Office.
Go through your list and re-engage those moments you are trying to avoid with the purpose of extracting the most of living from them, as if they might be your last 3 seconds on Earth.
The way to learn to die begins with the way of learning to be most alive in each moment.

You are such a lucky person now, to get to start over instead of having to wait around for the boring predictable outcomes of your previous life trajectories!
Make the most of your good fortune of having died earlier than you imagined. Write an article about 'jumping tracks' without warning into a new life earlier than the Akashik Records predicted you would. What can you see now? What can you try now? Who can you become now?

PREPARE YOURSELF TO GO THROUGH THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE, THE GATEWAY TO ADULTHOOD AND THE START OF THE EVOLUTIONARY PATH
Matrix Code LEARNDIE.11
In your Possibility Team or 3Cell, read out loud and discuss the contents of the Eye of the Needle website. Examine your current life in detail compared to the Path described on the Needle Map. Where are you now? Hypnotized by the comforts offered in modern culture, trying to be 'successful'? Dragged to the other side of the map to create 'alternative success' as an 'Instagram Diva', a 'Consultant', or a 'Handsome Holy Tribal Man'?
Make a long and precise list in your Beep! Book of the obstacles that currently keep you on this side of the Needle.
None of them are good or bad, write or wrong. But you do have a certain degree of attachment to each one. Give a number between 1 and 10 to each item on your list indicating the degree to which you are attached to it, with 1 meaning 'not attached at all, completely willing to do without it', and 10 meaning 'fully attached, no way would I ever give this up. I can't live without it. I would not know who I am without this'.
Then spend an hour with your Team, reading out loud your list of obsessions and neurosis along with your Attachment Number between 1 and 10, giving exact reasons for your attachment regardless of how unreasonable your reasons are.
Consider the possibility of lightening your Attachment Burdens by helping each other design 'Detachment Experiments' for several of your heavier burdens.
Do those Experiments, either alone or together, and report back at your next meeting on what happened to you or what you learned or discovered during your Liquid States.

LEARN TO NAVIGATE TO PRESENCE AND THE INTENSITY OF AWE AS A DIRECT EXPERIENCE
Matrix Code LEARNDIE.12
At the origin of everything, previous to time and space, is Awe.
Awe is the undefinable and intensely wordless condition of the nature of the Universe that is available in every moment and in every circumstance.
Get with your Team and work together to list in your Beep! Books each persons techniques for avoiding the direct experience of Awe. For example, in the past, it was asserted that ordinary Human Beings could not directly experience Awe because this was a job that was given to the Priests. The Priests supposedly experienced Awe and then interpreted that experience for their 'flock of sheep' the poor common people... and then charged them Church taxes as a fee.
But now, Awe has been liberated for all. Priests are no longer needed. You can shift out of your doldrums and into unencumbered life, before you die.
Because after you die, the physical world disappears and all you get is Awe. Now you can practice and get fit for navigating the wonderfull or horrifying irreducibly intense dimensions of Awe that you might experience after death before you die.
As the Boy Scout Motto says: "Be Prepared!" Why not?

NOTE: This website is a Bubble in the Bubble Map of the free-to-play, massively-multiplayer, online-and-offline, thoughtware-upgrade, matrix-building, personal-transformation, adventure-game called StartOver.xyz. It is a doorway to experiments that upgrade your thoughtware so you can relocate your point of origin and create more possibility. Your knowledge is what you think about. Your thoughtware is what you use to think with. When you change your thoughtware, you go through a liquid state as your mind reorganizes itself. Liquid states can bring up transformational feelings and emotions. By upgrading your thoughtware you build matrix to hold more consciousness and leave behind a low drama life of reactivity. No one can upgrade your thoughtware for you. More interestingly, no one can stop you from upgrading your thoughtware. Our theory is that when we collectively build 1,000,000 new Matrix Points we will change the morphogenetic field of the human race for the better. Please choose responsibly to read this website. Reading this whole website is worth 1 Matrix Point. Doing any of the experiments earns you additional Matrix Points. Please use Matrix Code LEARNDIE.00 to log your Matrix Point for reading this website on StartOver.xyz. Thank you for playing full out!
