injunction

A helpful practice I've found for awakening to the authentic self is a variant on the Big Mind process. I sit, let everything rest, and then repeat slowly: I am the Authentic Self. And then look and feel into the space, see if anything changes.

From my experiences through EC, I can re-recognize the "return" of the space-identity through this process. I don't want it to sound gimmicky, it's more a mantra and a sign of surrender.

really sounds like a states practice then, in this case -- "authentic self" is a particular state-self, like "fully-functioning self" or the "master" or another Big Mind state-self

durwin,

just a sec. it can be a states-only practice, as I said. If it is "soul-like", that makes sense.

But the real address (I'm arguing) doesn't rise until indigo/violet as a stage. (structure-stage).

the simplicity beyond the complexity--the complexity is the second tier's failure to be what it purports to be (integrating). In a total sense anyway--there's certainly plenty of integration. the simplicity is the third-tier.
