As I have been coaching a person new to TROM regarding level 2, one solution has been to have photos of different people in front of one self. Also there are an infinity of person's photos on the net to download to your computer.
It worked for him very well. We all have the ability / tendency to be able to judge people by looks, activity, job title, age etc. It just needs to be a person in your PT environment with eyes open that you can see for comparison. However, as The Resolution Of Mind is the key to freedom from having to play games, I value that freedom enough to be certain not to skimp on the fundamentals of level 2. I would not see it as any great imposition / sacrifice to go find some live people and do level 2 where I can see them. It might even be fun ! You won't need to do this once you attain the ability. The purpose is to become an expert Timebreaker. You want to be the best you can be, as this is the ability that should be second nature – natural, not an effort. Some will barely need to do the exercise, to realize it as child's play easy. Others will find it an effort and very significant. Once you are expert at timebreaking, you will likely have the ability for barely needing a nano-second comparison of an entire past scene to PT-NOW on many incidents / scenes somewhere in level 3, or by its end. Start Dennis Quote: Level Two. Purpose: To find the past. To exercise the being in evaluating the past to the present. Now I’ll be brutally honest with you. If you need this level running badly its going to hurt. It all depends upon how severe the compulsive games condition is between you and your mind. If you’re rather chummy with your mind the exercise will be a breeze, and you’ll enjoy it as well as deriving benefit from it. However, if you are a mass of so-called repressions and inhibitions you are in for a hot time of it. You’ll probably be absolutely sure that you are going to die before you’ve got your teeth a couple of inches into this Level. There’s nothing like Level Two to separate the men from the boys. Crack this one, and the rest is easy. However, the Level must be done, for there’s no other way to get a being to be able to Timebreak. Use RI liberally. Don’t be a martyr - run RI when the going gets rough; you’ve nothing to gain by suffering any more than you have to. This Level is designed to crack the compulsive games condition you are currently in with your own mind. It does it with ruthless efficiency - to the full extent you are currently capable of achieving. But I’ll tell you this: once you come out the other end you’ll have lost all fear of your own mind. You’ll know with absolute certainty that there’s nothing it can do to you that you can’t handle. You’re over the biggest hump. The being who has successfully completed Level Two has said good-bye to separate therapists: he now knows he can do what has to be done alone. If this technology ever becomes lost to mankind it will only be because some faint hearts could not confront the horrors of Level Two, and so will change it all into something pleasant - and useless. Never miss it: Level Two is the only barrier that sits between mankind and the attaining of Nirvana. He cannot face Level Two, and so he goes to a separate therapist to help him through it - never realizing that by so doing he has negated his own responsibility in the matter, and so doomed himself to failure. He must do this step alone, or he’ll never be able to cock a snook at his own mind; there is no other choice. So Level Two will be a baptism of fire for many of you. So be it. Press on. I’ve known the successful completion of this Level to cure chronic alcoholism in a being all by itself, so the results are well worth attaining. Remember: you’ve lived through the original of whatever your mind has to throw up at you, so you can live through the recall of it, The last thing you do before you expire is - run RI. Then you won’t expire. Get it? Then you continue on with the exercise. Get it? Commands: a) Select a non-significant past scene. (Masochists can select a significant one.) b) Select an object from this scene. c) Find an object in pt (one you can see with your eyes) that is different from the past object. d) How is it different? Repeat c) and d) (Its permissible to use the same pt object over and over again if you wish) until no more change; then: e) Find an object in pt (one you can see with your eyes) that is similar to the object in the past scene. f) How is it similar? Repeat e) and f) until no more change, then repeat c) and d). Continue until both c) and d), and e) and f) produce no more change. g) Select a new past object, either from the same past scene or a different one. Repeat c) and d), then e) and f) with this new past object until no more change. Continue the exercise, using more and more significant past objects, until no more change occurs with any past object you care to select. Now do the exercise with past persons. Select them one at a time, and complete the exercise with each person. Continue until no more change occurs with any past person you care to select. As you do this exercise, and the compulsive games condition between you and your mind begins to break down, you’ll find that it becomes progressively easier to place the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects side by side for comparison purposes, until you are quite easily able to view both the ‘then’ and ‘now’ objects simultaneously. You are learning to Timebreak. By the time the exercise has gone null you’ll be an expert Timebreaker. Don’t rush the exercises; nothing is to be gained by so doing. Once started on a past object or person you should persist with the object or person. To change around all the time will not make it easier for you; you are just prolonging the agony – and the exercise. Run the changes out as you go, that is always the fastest way. Remember: you are running out a compulsive games condition between you and your own past. The exercise continues to produce changes as long as this compulsive games condition is highly charged; as the compulsive games condition quietens down, so the exercise ceases to produce change. You end up feeling quite different about your past - quite friendly towards it - as well as being a competent Timebreaker, and so ready for Level Three. Keep on TROMing Ralph
