Hi Jurgen,
Yes, your examples are excellent. Those are not engramic, reactive
mind compulsions and we all place similar requirements on ourselves
and our lives. That's why I came up with the 'Freedom of
Importances' as another factor that greatly enhances one's joy,
fulfillment and Nirvana. It's all in the realm of games and game
playing.
The important thing to remember is that one is placing these
importances on themselves for a purpose. One has chosen to play
these games. That choice may not be so obvious but life places those
importances upon us due to the game one finds themselves in or has
chosen to find themselves in.
Let's just not make importances so important that they become manic,
unchangeable and uncontrollable and that they look as though they
have been placed upon us entirely by someone or something else. If
one finds that some importances are not theirs and one wishes to
change them ... One should change importances as they wish and
decide to change those importances, choose their own importances or
choose to embrace those importances. It's all a question of playing
a game, changing the game or not playing the game. How one goes
about this is also of importance for the consequences that one's
choices bring about, the importance of the consequences.
Importances, importances, importances.
Paul, keep on TROMming

Hi Colleen,
Just want to share something about RI that I have used to quickly
change your point-of-view on importances, the main message from
Dennis was that importance is relative and I haven’t really seen
people on the list touch this axiom:
Event, Get the idea that you have a tooth-ache, a dentist becomes
important and the motivation to arrange an appointment
Place, You are in Turkey as a woman, a scarf around the face and no
bare legs is quite important
Time, 300 or so years ago, imagine you are a witch, now it is quite
important to keep this hidden from people otherwise you would be
burned on the stakes.
Get the idea of being a doctor, many things become important:
Scalpel
White coat
Knowledge on biology
Doctor-patient confidentiality
…
Jockey
Pose
Horse
Music teacher
Violin
Piano
Flute
Drums
Rhythm
Notes
Captain of a cruise ship
Boat
Security
Engine
Direction
Sonar
I think you can see how this works, just switch the ‘be’ to some
other ‘role’ and many different things become important.
Remember, importance is relative:
The person/beingness (doctor, laywer, programmer, artist, waitress,
black-jack player, football player, …)
Situation (imagine your car suddenly has a flat tire)
Time and/or Place (imagine being on the moon, many new things
become important that before you never considered)

The ability to assign importances at will -- another plus point for
doing RI
For example, a blank sheet of paper is worshipped by all.
"Create a not-know", ummm hard black screens
There is so much potential leeway with RI
It seems, wouldn;t you agree, that in its strictest sense it was
mean to supplement timebreaking and keep timebreaking moving along
smoothly. I've had enough intro to RI now and I'm changing my
attitude towards it so I can get some timebreaking worked into my
session time. And still do it to "No More Change"..
It's just that sometimes it seems to be an almost infinite process
of change after change after change -- not that I mind because I'm
really enjoying watching whats going on and the insights I get.
So, I'm thinking I could select subjects that are good havingness
without being too significant, like kittens and puppies.. Or I
could re-hash subjects that have already been RI'd and perhaps the
significances already run out of them, so the RI would be speedily
completed and then on to timebreaking.
Paul, I for some reason had the idea that after one completed Level
5, RI could be put away. Are you positive you completed Level
5? How would one know they have completed Level 5?
