Hi Pete
Thanks for your write-up on your win, these Lectures/tapes by Dennis are really
crammed with useful data.
I spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening studying the theory section in
the pdf version of TROM with your comments, very useful, had a wonderful time
reading that.
I just had a win which took a few hours before I realised it and that was
listening to the tape, "The Surprise Game", where it got on to the subject of
playmates.
It reminded me that from about the ages of 2 to 5, somewhere around there I
used to have this huge big blue stuffed dog, which was bigger than me, I used
to carry it everywhere, it was always there sitting beside me.
I cannot remember ever talking to it but I did have the strong impression that
this stuffed dog and I were very close, it seemed to have a large degree of
importance in my life at that time.
By the time I was 5 or 6 I think I had grown out of needing a playmate and was
now into discovering things about the world I lived in, (Big trouble for my
parents).
Anyway the point of this win is that later on I decided to have another go at
level 2 but I couldn't seem to find anything to work on, (I have days when my
time is better taken up studying rather than processing) so I gave up on it.
Later on, I suddenly realised that the item to use on level 2 had actually been
presented to me, "The blue dog" :) so I have had a good smile about that.
Right, I will get to work on that.
Best
Mike

Hi All
In "The Philosophy of TROM" Dennis makes the great point that people have
forever been looking for the solution to problems of the mind in things around
and outside of themselves.
My successes in recent months working at level 3 of TROM are due to my
consideration that I am a spiritual being and the mind and body are outside of
me, are not me.
Further I meditate or hold the idea that my normal state as a spiritual
being is happiness and imperturbability and harmlessness toward everyone
therefore, anything that interrupts that state is not me but something I need
to ignore or time break.
This works marvelously well. Anytime something comes up that disturbs my
tranquility I mentally grab it and realize it is not me and inspect it so I can
time break it. Since I am doing this continuously, day and night, I am finding
many things to timebreak.
My validation that it is working comes from my wife and children who are
commenting and asking what has changed to improve my attitude toward life.
Keep On TROMing
Pete
