THIS ARTICLE IS THE PRECISE INSTRUCTION FOR
RAPIDLY RAISING YOUR OWN AWARENESS NOW:
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO GO SANER!
=============================================
The basic pattern or function was clearly stated in 1552, as
a one sentence aside in a famous forty-page political treatise:
“There are always a few, better endowed than others, who feel the
weight of the yoke and cannot restrain themselves from attempting to
shake it off: these are the men who never become tamed under subjection.
===================the cosmic clue!===========================
These are in fact the men who, possessed of clear minds and
far-sighted spirit, are not satisfied, like the brutish mass, to see
only what is at their feet, but rather look about them, behind and
before, and even recall the things of the past in order to judge
those of the future, and compare both with their present condition.
=============================================================
These are the ones who, having good minds of their own, have
further trained them by study and learning. Even if liberty had
entirely perished from the earth, such men would invent it. For
them slavery has no satisfactions, no matter how well disguised.”

UCP IS THE FULL DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION
OF THAT FUNDAMENTAL UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE TO
RAPID ENHANCEMENT OF PERSONAL AWARENESS!
===============================================
INTRODUCTION TO UCP:
HOW TO DO UCP!
=====================
The Universal Conscious Practice [UCP] is a profoundly simple and
extremely powerful consciousness or awareness enhancement process,
procedure or practice which improves emotional-mental-spiritual ability and
can be done by almost anyone . . . with ONLY the information in this article.
It can be done with another person as your Witness, OR *ALL* BY
YOURSELF, which is easier using the free Virtual Witness program.
This article is written from the point of view of a Witness
coaching a Seeker, but UCP is also a self-guided practice,
in which case you are both the Seeker and the Witness.
It is necessary to do UCP with yourself.
It is wonderful to do UCP with others!
See references at end of this article for download URLs.
UCP is so radically simple that people often dismiss it with no
testing because they incorrectly imagine something must be
complex to be powerful and effective. In fact, just the opposite
is true. The more complex a methodology or procedure is, the
more limited and narrow it becomes, the less utility it has, and
the faster you must discard it to find another practice with
“bite”, interest, or effectiveness to make further progress.
UCP gives results from the beginning, and keeps on giving more
and better results as long as you continue to practice it. Each
new session builds on the awareness of ALL those preceding it.
SEEING things exactly AS THEY ARE, without any additions,
filters, alterations or denials, is *THE* basic curative process.
UCP directly develops your ability to SEE * WHAT IS * NOW.
Every healing, therapy or trauma reduction process is a way of
getting the Seeker to *SEE* THE PRESENT, AS IT IS. Seeing
things as they are allows you to actually change them. The more
a process limits what the Seeker can look at, the more limited it is.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
UCP is THE basic meta-process or underlying supra-set of ALL
workable therapy or self-improvement: THE Fundamental Basis
of Rational Thought Itself. I am well aware this is a huge claim!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++
DO UCP AND SEE!

THE CIRCLE OF NOW
==================
UCP is a procedure that starts in the present, circles repeatedly
about it, and ends in a new present. It brings to consciousness
what is actually [although unconsciously or unknowingly] already
in the present, examines it thoroughly, and either dissolves it into
nothingness, replaces it, or puts it back where it truly belongs.
UCP can be represented by a very simple circular diagram
with PRESENT in the middle, FUTURE ahead, PAST behind,
and COMPARE PRESENT TO actions on right and left sides:
1] FUTURE
4] COMPARE 0] PRESENT 2] COMPARE
TO PAST TO FUTURE
3] PAST
The process starts in the middle with Step 0.
Then it goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3 . . . around the
outer ring, til it ends in the middle at 0 again.
A coin placed on this diagram will easily keep
track of what question you are asking yourself.
Here are the UCP questions,
what they do, and how they work:

UNIVERSAL PERSPECTIVE.
DETAILED EXPLANATION OF PRACTICE STEPS:
========================================
0] WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
[Describe PRESENT scene to satisfaction.]
I just ask “Where are you now?” If a new Seeker, I explain that this
is their opportunity to look at their entire life and scene and examine
anything important about it. We are not listing anything or looking for
whys or causes or solutions or anything like that. It’s just a Look, See
and Say about where they are now. “Where” is interpreted in the most
general way. I often used to say “Tell me about your universe,” or
“What’s up with your life?”, but it seems more logical and consistent to
go with the past/present/future model, and it works just fine either way.
It’s the same question as “What’s happening with you?”, “Tell me
all about it!”, “How is it going?”, “What is your attention on?”, “What
do you think about now?”, “What is your intention now?” “What’s up?”.
“What is your viewpoint?”, or any of many other phrases which mean
essentially the same thing. After the Seeker gets the hang of UCP,
they don’t care what you say because they know what they are doing.
It’s what the Seeker does that is important, not what the Witness says.
You could simply say “Talk!” . . . and in fact I have done that too.
The purpose is simply to get him to more closely examine HIS NOW.
A new Seeker may well talk for two hours about his entire life.
A Seeker who already had a session this morning will probably
give me a minute or two about what he has noticed since his last
session. I don’t care. He talks until he has looked at “Where
he is now” and described it to his own satisfaction, not mine.
This orients him to the present, creates a starting point for him
to compare other scenes to, and makes his universe clearer.
1] WHERE MIGHT YOU BE?
[Describe FUTURE scene to satisfaction.]
This is the POTENTIAL, FUTURE, IMAGINE, MAKE-UP, CREATIVE
side of the process. It is NOT a tightly worded or narrowly construed
question. You could probably just as well ask “What might happen?,”
“Imagine a possible future,” or anything similar. The words are not
critical as long as you understand what you are doing. I merely want
him to create or notice some possible or even impossible future. It
does not have to make immediate sense or even be actually possible.
I just want him to fish something out of his universe and look at it.
Whatever the Seeker thinks of is fine with me. Anything he imagines
is a proper answer. It could be a state of mind, an emotional state, a
mental attitude, a spot on the highway, a physical position, a logical
computation, a social position, a role he plays, etc. It can be 10,000
years in the future, impossible by definition, in his wildest dreams, in
another dimension, in a parallel or non-parallel universe . . . whatever.
An unwritten Star Trek adventure is fine! It can be the same fantasy
he’s looked at 20 times already. Great! I don’t care. Anything will do!
His attention is on it NOW . . . so it MUST be the right thing to look at!
I don’t even care if it is really from the future or not. I often have the
Seeker tell me a place he “might be,” and in the process of describing
or comparing it . . . he realizes it is actually an incident from his past.
Fine! He snuck up on a “REGRESSION” by putting it in the future to
make it more confrontable! Of course, that is also a possible future
place, as he might be there again some day. You might notice this
selection method is very similar to traditional “free association,” except
that traditional therapists don’t know what to DO with what comes up.
I once had a session in which “Where I Might Be” was the dream
I had this morning . . . and analyzing the dream by comparing it to
where I was now was profound, and took me all the way up to “know”
in a huge area of my universe that was making me very frantic.
Looking back on that dream again now, I see another interpretation
which looks even more meaningful, based on the last 2 or 3 years.
Notice that this same dream might also have come up on the past
leg of “Where I Was, this morning.” Often it seems random whether
something comes up on the Future or Past command. Who Cares?
As long as it comes up, it’s there . . . so you can now LOOK at it!
This future leg of the process helps the Seeker discover his future,
or lack thereof. It allows him to create new futures, and to change
his mind and revise them. It lets him separate his goals, fantasies
and possibilities from the actuality of his present time, and see how
his future, or lack thereof, is actually created by him in the NOW.
This is simple and easy because you are not trying to figure out
what the Seeker should put his attention on, and when he should
take it off. You don’t have to find, assess or analyze mysterious
stuff in the dusty far corners of his mind to pick a minute obscure
topic or “item.” You just gently help him look at whatever IS NOW.
Since that is all that is needed, anything additional would be an
unnecessary complexity and distract the Seeker from his important
work. The less the coach / therapist / Witness does, and the less
attention the client / Seeker has on him, the better UCP works. If the
Seeker is so absorbed he forgets the Witness is there . . . Wonderful!
This description of “where he might be” could be one word . . . or 20
minutes. I don’t really care, as long as the Seeker describes it to his
satisfaction. When he is ready to look at something else, we go on.
2] COMPARE THAT TO NOW.
[Describe Similarities and Differences to satisfaction]
This step has the Seeker compare the selected “something” with
the present. I don’t use the word “place,” because I don’t want to
define what he will be comparing. I don’t know if it will be an attitude,
a computation, a physical location, an activity, an emotion, a state
of mind, a beingness, an identity, or whatever . . . and I don’t care.
Whatever he talked about on Step 1, I just want him to compare
that to NOW . . . which may still be what he described in Step 0
. . . but quite possibly has changed considerably since then.
By “COMPARE,” I am asking for SIMILARITIES and DIFFERENCES,
but I only ask for them specifically if I am grooving in a new Seeker
who is not used to UCP and is still feeling his way into it, or who may
be reluctant or inhibited in talking. Otherwise “compare” is fine.
This step could be two sentences, or it could take two hours as he
looks back and forth between the two scenes over and over again,
seeing more and more clearly, and describing things in more and
more detail and texture . . . until he loses interest in this.
In order to compare the two elements, the Seeker essentially
has to view both pictures, incidents, viewpoints or whatever at
the same time. This in itself is extraordinarily beneficial to him.
Most peoples’ awareness is analogous to a television set displaying
a station selected by a remote control . . . in someone else’s hands.
They are totally hypnotized by whatever program, picture, valence,
identity, advertisement, idea, etc. is currently displayed on screen.
They compulsively identify with whatever that is as “themselves”.
When the picture flips to a different channel, it’s still “them,” as far
as they are concerned . . . and they have *NO* awareness that it’s
actually a different channel and program. They can only duplicate
or comprehend one viewpoint at a time, and it’s totally beyond their
awareness that they were just spouting a totally different party line.
The constant discipline of Comparing builds the ability to view
two viewpoints, pictures, etc., at the same time. This forces
them OUT of the picture they have been IN, and gets them
to adopt the viewpoint of whoever is looking AT the pictures.
This DIFFERENTIATES them from the pictures they have been
compulsively dramatizing, but are now self-determinedly viewing.
If their attention is on only one item, they can interiorize into it
and BE it. When they confront two pictures and Compare, it is
very clear that they are neither one, but the Viewer of pictures.
This is an enormously important spiritual capacity to develop!
It builds enormous self-awareness of the Seeker as the creator
of his own universe, and greatly enhances his ability to knowingly
create himself and his future. This simple ability is far beyond the
realm of most individuals who believe themselves to be spiritually
advanced, but are actually quite thoroughly lost in pretense and
hysterical compulsive identities which they strenuously dramatize.
While doing UCP, you will quite normally see many different kinds of
mental phenomena, known variously in different disciplines by many
arbitrary terms, appear with a vengeance . . . and disappear again with
no fancy complex rigid process commands, no chains of earlier similar
incidents, no tricky diagnosis or evaluation of what is wrong and what to
do, no hypnotic suggestions, and no Seeker attention on the Witness or
the Process. UCP is simple, powerful, often easy, and incredibly effective.
Just let them describe similarities and differences as long as they have
interest. It might be a few words. It might be many minutes of analysis
and cognitions. You do NOT have to worry about “flattening” it or getting
“all the charge off.” If the Seeker has more attention on it, his attention
will go back to it, and he can simply look at it again on the next merry
[or not so] go-round. You do NOT have to “control his attention” and
tell him when to think about what, and when to stop thinking about it.
You controlling his attention is always DESTRUCTIVE to HIS universe.
You just easily and naturally follow his lead to what HIS attention is on.
When he is satisfied he has seen what he wants to . . . we move on.
3] WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
[Describe PAST scene to satisfaction.]
This step of the process simply has the Seeker select something
already existing that his attention is on. It is not critically worded.
You could probably run it as “Remember something” or “What has
happened?”. This just asks for anything from his past. He simply
selects something for examination from what has already happened,
and is therefore PAST, and he is relatively the EFFECT of. It could be
how his morning has been going so far, his reaction to a commercial,
an exact specific incident lasting 1/10 of a second, a lingering thought
he had 85,000 years ago as he lay dying, a room he used to live in, or
a broad general scene that went on for trillions of years. I don’t care.
This leg of the process is the EMOTIONAL HEALING or TRAUMA
REDUCTION aspect of prior events. It includes as subsets all of
the narrowly defined regression processes that many “well-trained”
therapists know hundreds of. It handles and heals what has already
happened to the Seeker as effect. It leads naturally to the FUTURE.
4] COMPARE THAT TO NOW.
[Describe Similarities and Differences to satisfaction]
This is the exact same compare question as in the first leg of
the process, and operates similarly, but compares the present
with the past, fixed, effect aspect of the Seeker’s universe, rather
than the future, imagine, cause, create, potential aspect of it.
The constant motion back and forth between the legs of
the process keeps him from getting stuck in the past and
dramatizing himself as hallucinatory total victim, and from
getting stuck in fantasies of the future and dramatizing
himself as hallucinatory total victor, or vice versi.
In effect, you are repeatedly comparing
your viewpoint to both cause and effect.
You are the INTEGRATOR of both
cause and effect within yoursELF.
If the Seeker is heavily in DENIAL or DISASSOCIATION, it will
start to build CONNECTIONS between past, present, and future.
If the Seeker is in IDENTIFICATION, comparing past and future to
present separates them. It creates awareness of similarities and
differences, a very basic definition of sanity. It pulls the past out
of the present, and lets it go to where it should be . . . back into the
past. It separates the Seeker more and more from the past into a
clearer and more sharply defined and understood present time NOW.
The constant comparing to “where he is now” keeps bringing him
into the present. The entire process works as a “Havingness”
process, giving him his entire universe to have. The net effect is
to help him *SEE* THE PRESENT, MORE CLEARLY, AS IT IS! This
allows him to actually change his present, through New Thought.
BUMPS IN THE ROAD AND THE CORRECTION SUBROUTINE
==================================================
The ONLY thing I have ever seen go “wrong” using UCP is that it stirs
up “stuff” from the past and the Seeker starts to *UNKNOWINGLY*
DRAMATIZE that stuff. Of course, it is SUPPOSED to do that, but some
times it turns on Too Hard. This can manifest in many different ways:
protests, objections, complaints, criticism of the Witness, computations
of “this is stupid”, “isn’t working”, “won’t work”, “can’t work,” ANY kind
of misemotion, and so forth. This can interfere with DOING the process
and STOP the session if the Witness does not SEE what is happening and
correct it by simply having the Seeker LOOK at what IS going on NOW.
The major handle is simply to SEE that “where the Seeker IS NOW”
is NO LONGER where he WAS when he started the session. The
process itself has moved something else in, or moved him to a
different place [take your pick of wordings for the same event].
You simply need to IDENTIFY where that new [old] place, feeling,
computation, effort, intention, identity or so forth . . . IS *NOW*.
ANY kind of question focused on WHERE THE SEEKER IS NOW will
point to and bring that out. If the Seeker’s attention goes OFF of HIS
universe and ON to you, session complaints, or something else, you
simply need to get him to LOOK at what is happening NOW. ASK HIM:
“WHAT IS HAPPENING?”
“HOW ARE YOU FEELING?”
“WHAT’S GOING ON?”
“TELL ME MORE ABOUT THAT!”
. . . or ANY other similar question that points his attention to
*HIS PRESENT* [the center of the circle in our diagram] and
gets him to LOOK AT, SEE, and DESCRIBE where *HE* is NOW.
THIS RE-ORIENTS HIM TO *HIS* ACTUAL PRESENT ACTIVITY.
Usually if there is some kind of “problem” the Seeker will be talking
about SOMETHING ELSE beside him which is causing effects. You
need to get his attention OFF of what something ELSE is doing or
might be doing or not and ON to what HE IS DOING, RIGHT NOW!
He will generally want to talk about all the bad things which are
happening to him as EFFECT of bad people, circumstances, etc.
You want him to look at what *HE* IS DOING OR CAUSING NOW!
Instead of him telling you about SOMETHING ELSE, he needs to
tell you about HIM, NOW! For example, someone who is raging
at you that ……. [insert favorite person, condition, ghost, demon,
political party, job, etc] …… is causing …….. [insert what he doesn't
like or is sure will happen in the future, etc] …….. you need to get him
to look at WHAT *IS* RIGHT NOW untiI HE SEES that: *HE* IS RAGING!
THEN YOU HAVE A NEW STARTING POINT, IN A NEW NOW.
Once you have identified WHAT is happening NOW in the session, you
can use your understanding that this *IS* coming from somewhere else
in his past universe, has been stirred up or manifested by the process
as part of its normal operation, and simply needs to be addressed.
Use your SECRET WEAPON and
ask him the MAGIC QUESTION:
“EVER FELT LIKE THAT BEFORE?”
or any variation of that simple question.
Usually the answer is “YES!” and he tells you all about the
PAST time or place, and you simply proceed as usual with
“COMPARE THAT TO NOW.”
So the ENTIRE “correction” action when
something goes “wrong” [i.e. "TOO right"] is:
1] Witness recognizes Seeker is SOMEWHERE “ELSE” NOW.
2] Witness gets Seeker to tell him WHAT is happening NOW.
Which is simply starting over with Step 0!
3] Witness gets Seeker to SPOT WHERE it comes from in the PAST.
4] Witness has Seeker proceed normally by COMPARING to present.
*ONLY* TWO QUESTIONS ARE REQUIRED
FOR THIS “REPAIR”: “NOW?” and “PAST?”
In theory, the Seeker might be unable to function because
of something from the FUTURE that was about to happen.
In practice, I haven’t ever seen it, and I suspect that some
one who is bleeding to death or about to be arrested does
not usually wind up doing UCP unless it’s to look AT THAT.
“NOW?”, phrased as in any of the examples above, simply
has the Seeker LOOK AT what HE IS DOING NOW in session,
instead of *BLINDLY* DOING it. It is simply a *NEW* STEP 0!
“PAST?”, phrased as “Ever felt like that before?”, or any other
variation appropriate to the Seeker’s answer to the “NOW?”
question, is simply a variation of “Where have you been,” phrased
to pick up whatever has just been stirred up by the process.
So the ENTIRE bag of “tricks” necessary to “fix” a difficult session
can be summed up . . . not in 20 different repair lists with hundreds
of different questions to figure-figure about. . . but in TWO WORDS:
NOW?
PAST?
If you can just remember this VERY SIMPLE concept, then if you
start to have difficulty in a session, you can VERY SIMPLY correct
fit. It is NOT complex. It MAY, however, be . . . extremely difficult!
IF YOU KEEP IT SIMPLE, AND KEEP *DOING* IT,
UCP WORKS AMAZINGLY WELL AND RAPIDLY.
OVERALL SESSION PATTERN:
=========================
A] START THE SESSION WITH STEP 0
This identifies the present situation or scene, serves as a
locational or orientation, and starts the process working.
Consciously Looking at your now increases
your awareness of your now . . . right now!
But that’s just the beginning!
B] REPEAT STEPS 1-4 TO “SHIFT” OR “KNOW”
You are not looking for a sudden “cognition.” You want to cycle
through Steps 1-4 over and over again until the Seeker comes up
to “know” in the area of the session. He will not even know what
area or topic the session is about until the end. On the way there,
he will definitely be at “not know” or lower about the entire session,
both what it is about and how it will resolve. If the Seeker THINKS
he knows what the session is about at the beginning, that is simply
Think or Hallucination. Don’t fight with it. Just let it happen. The
Seeker resolves his hallucinations with UCP. You do *NOT* assess
for or pick a topic and then “run” a session “on” that topic or “item”.
That will NOT work well. There will be some theme, topic or area
the entire session is about, but you will not likely know what until it
emerges near session end, when the Seeker comes “full circle” to
his first concerns and gets up to “know” in that area of his universe.
If you have “problems” . . . handle with “NOW?” and then “PAST?”!
As the Seeker achieves more familiarity with UCP, he will naturally
STOP doing it “by the numbers” and gradually ease into simply
looking at what is there. He will then only need a question when
he “runs down” and isn’t SURE what he should be looking at NOW.
The “by the numbers” approach is essentially a TRAINING AID. If he
starts energetically comparing five different futures to six imaginary
pasts without asking you about it . . . relax and enjoy the show!
11APL2003
A SHIFT is simply the process of UCP resulting in
a NEW NOW in whatever area you are examining.
Something is different. You might have a new viewpoint,
see something you had not noticed before, feel a different
emotion, focus on a different aspect, have a sudden mood
swing, forget what your attention had been on, become
quite interested, or anything else. This might be quite
sudden and dramatic, or so smooth you barely notice it,
but any significant change defines a NEW NOW for you.
This might well bring you up to KNOW
about whatever it is, but it might also
leave you vaguely wondering what is
going on . . . and Not Knowing at all.
WHEN SOMETHING *HAPPENS*
IN SESSION, *LOOK* AT THAT!
THAT’S A *NEW NOW!*
What *IS* happening now is
usually more important than
what did or might happen.
LOOK AT IT!
To understand the SHIFT, simply
compare before the shift to now.
It might turn out to be not much, in which
case just continue the normal UCP routine.
But it also might reveal
what you need to see
in that particular area.
It might close the circle
and bring you to KNOW.
In which case,
you’re done!
For Now!
C] END WITH DISCUSSION AND AGREEMENT
Some KEY full-circle wrap-up questions for UCP:
Have you noticed that during the session you are
now talking about what you started the session with?
Is more or less everything you talked about also related?
Does your first look at the subject now look more
like a misunderstanding of what the real issue IS?
Do you have a new understanding of how you relate
to that now . . . and what your clearer options are?
When the Seeker gets up to KNOW, it will be apparent to both of you.
He will know what the session was all about. It will be clear to both
of you that the entire session was about this one issue, even if it did
seem like a random rancid stew of unrelated free [dis]association
nonsense along the way. At the end, he will usually give you an
indication that he feels he is done with the session, and why.
This is an appropriate time for discussion about how the session
went, what his emotional tone is, how the practice is going for him,
questions and answers, observations about his life or life in general,
or whatever comes up. Often, the Seeker will ask the Witness what
he thinks about something. The natural thing to do is . . . Answer!
This is the havingness or integration phase. Having focussed his
attention intensively on his own universe for the core of the session,
and removed his own internal prejudices, errors or barriers to knowing,
the Seeker will typically broaden his attention to the exterior universes
and seek other viewpoints to view and compare with his own new now.
As he comes up to the ability of Communication . . . he Communicates!
Looking at the UCPlot and seeing where his attention is focused
gives him a *UNIVERSAL VIEWPOINT* to compare his own to!
This phase might be just two sentences, or
twenty minutes of new stuff popping in to see.
When you both agree you are done . . . you are done.
If you are doing UCP solo, it’s still very important to do.
At the end of the session, use the UCPlot to compare to.
When the session ends, you can start to communicate to
the world at large to get other viewpoints to compare to.
UCP is *NOT* a one-session do-once procedure. You practice it over
and over again on an ongoing basis, integrating it more and more into
your continuous consciousness. No one I know has ever used it up.
As long as you DO UCP, you will continue to raise your emotional
tone level and your awareness. As the Seeker becomes more familiar
with the practice and what he does in his own universe to make it happen,
he will become less and less dependant on commands from the Witness,
and will start to run “freestyle”. This is an excellent sign and should
be encouraged by the Witness . . . shutting up and doing nothing.
THE UCP UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUS PLOT
==================================
A HUGE HELP IN DOING UCP IS THE
UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUS PLOT, AKA
THE UCP CHART OF N-LIGHTENMENT!
It’s a short html document you can use on the screen or print on two
sides for a one-page always-on reference that folds up in your wallet.
The UCPlot is usually distributed with “N-Lightenment Now!” if printed.
It can’t be posted to most newsgroups, but is freely available online.
Many versions showing the history are hosted at the UCP web site.
The .xls versions are the latest but require a free viewer download
if you don’t already have excel or other spreadsheet viewer. The
UCPlot is intended to be examined and used in UCP sessions,
especially at the end of session in the integration phase.
Examining the theme, topic or issue of the current session
with the UCPlot yields enormously valuable insights to self.
It is also extremely useful in seeing where you have been or
where you might be, from a Universal Common Perspective,
so it might be useful from the very start of any UCP session.
The top of the plot is a detailed description of an IDEAL SCENE
which you can always compare your own present awareness to.
The UCPlot aligns a growing number of individual scales,
and allows you to locate your general level of awareness,
[where your attention chronically is, or more importantly
where it NEVER FALLS BELOW], so you can easily actually
WATCH YOUR OWN AWARENESS RISE AS YOU *DO* UCP!
This is a very powerful factor, for it puts
you in charge of your own awareness, with
not only the UCPractice Tool to advance, but
also the UCPlot Tool to measure advancement:
AND compare measurements with others, on a
UNIVERSAL SCALE! One sees how that works!
[2006MAR29 NOTE: It appears that, above Tone 20, as one enters
the Eternal realm, one loses interest in the past and future. At that
tone, the Present become the Eternal! That's perfect free-style UCP!
So Universal Conscious Practice defaults to the ETERNAL NOW, and
steps 1-4 of UCP become unnecessary: All you need is STEP ZERO!]

CREATING YOURSELF THRU YOUR OWN I-MAGI-NATION!
ONE SIZE FITS ALL SELF TAUGHT GOD LESSONS!

UCP SUMMARY
==============
UCP addresses ANY aspect of
PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE!
It performs the AS IT IS or HEALING function of therapy,
as well as the CREATIVE, MAKE-UP role of self-discovery.
It addresses WHATEVER the Seeker has Stuck Attention
on, and handles it until the Seeker has NO attention on it.
It provides the UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUS PLOT
to help you understand where you have been,
*SEE* WHERE YOU ARE *NOW* MUCH CLEARER,
and prepare yourself for where you will go next!
So you can understand it *WHILE* you experience it!
WELL . . . I THINK THAT JUST ABOUT COVERS IT!
YOU NOW have a powerful tool to help yourself and
your family, friends, and anyone else you wish well.
All basic UCP data is completely free at the web site.

but that has been done in as little as a few weeks, in
much less than 24 hours of actually doing UCP, *AND*

UCP is THE basic meta-process or underlying supra-set of ALL
workable therapy or self-improvement: THE Fundamental Basis
of Rational Thought Itself. I am well aware this is a huge claim!
