I still sometimes ponder over Dennis' instructions for the Repair of Importances exercise. Take, for example, his instruction of "... put it around you 360-degrees ...":
*360-degrees could be either*: 1. as a diorama placed upon the concave side of a sphere with self in the center; 2. as fractals of the same thing (like a compound eye) placed spherically around you; or 3. as a holographic 4d: you are inside the thing and can view everything from that "inside". For example, you put a stuffed toy animal all around you and you see the stuffing inside of it, plus the top and bottom and front and back, etcetera - all of it in a 4th dimensional, holographic sense. "Quantity vs Quality" could be achieved for #1 by repeatedly putting up the diorama scene until no more change. With #2 quantity is achieved by itself and one can simply hold that scene there until no more change. With #3, quantity can be achieved by, as with #1, repeatedly placing the original item there everytime a change occurs. The bottom line is to feel relaxed and ready to go into the time-breaking activity with a positive attitude. Because of somewhat occluded vision I also "feel" it all around me, as when a blind man relies more heavily on his other perceptics. OKAY, so I do this repeatedly - after everytime I lose the imagery or "feeling" or some other change occurs, and I usually stop once the body relaxes. The importance for me is not necessarily in seeing it but in feeling and knowing it is all around me - that is "havingness" (i.e., an "importance"), similar to walking around and getting touchy-feelie with objects in the environment -- until no more change. I would appreciate feedback on whether you are doing #1, #2, or #3, or something else. How is RI working for you? Colleen
