N-LIGHTENMENT IS THE PROGRESSIVE
[N BECOMES N + 1] AND RAPID [TODAY!]
ENLIGHTENMENT ACHIEVED BY *DOING* UCP!
The basic principle for its creation
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.
============ a 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.”
From: “Discours de la Servitude Volontaire”

age 22, in 1552, while a student at the

BASIC UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLE

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 with 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.
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 throw it away and find another practice
that still has “bite” 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 discharge or trauma reduction process
is merely 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
looks 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 know this is a huge claim:
==============
DO UCP & 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.
Here are the UCP questions,
what they do, and how they work:

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.
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,
MOCK-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.
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! That’s usually a great session!
This description of “where he might be” could
be 2 words … 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 Step 0 …
but quite likely 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 people’s awareness is much like
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 “me”.
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 the being who
is looking AT the pictures.
This DIFFERENTIATES them from the pictures
they have been compulsively dramatizing,
and 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 normally see
many different kinds of weird 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, or what to
do, no hypnotic suggestions, and no Seeker
attention on the Witness or the Process.
It’s simple, smooth, 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 don’t 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 DISCHARGE 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.
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 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.
The constant comparing to “where he is now”
keeps bringing him into the present. The
entire process works as a “Havingness”
process, giving him an entire universe
to have. The net effect of UCP is to help
him SEE THE PRESENT, MORE CLEARLY, AS IT *IS*.
This allows him to actually change his present,
with a new thought.
BUMPS IN THE ROAD
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:
protest, 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.
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 focussed 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 but 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!
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,
polical party, job, etc] is causing _____________
[insert what he doesn't like or is sure to
happen in the future, etc], you need to get
him to look at WHAT *IS* RIGHT NOW untiI HE SEES
. . . *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.
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 on each to
figure-figure about, but in JUST 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 it.
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.
Above are the procedure commands.
Below is the 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.
B] REPEAT STEPS 1-4 TO “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 hallucination.
Don’t fight with it. Just let it happen. The
Seeker simply has to work through his
hallucinations. 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 it is until it emerges at
the end of session, 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.
C] END WITH DISCUSSION AND AGREEMENT
Some KEY wrap-up questions for doing 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 expanded 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 seemed 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 the 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, the Seeker will typically broaden
his attention to the exterior universes
and seek other viewpoints to view
and compare with his own now new.
As he comes up to the ability of
Communication . . . he communicates!
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.
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. 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.

UCP SUMMARY
UCP addresses ANY aspect of
PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE!
It performs the AS IT IS or DISCHARGE
function of therapy, as well as the
CREATIVE, MOCK-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 a UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUS PLOT
which helps you understand where you have
been *SEE* WHERE YOU ARE *NOW* MUCH CLEARER
and prepare yourself for what comes next!
So you can understand it better
*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.
There is a lot more to learn to become
expert on UCP, but that has been done
in as little as a few weeks, in much
less than 24 hours of actually doing UCP.

UCP: TRANSFORMING AWARENESS
SINCE THE SECOND MILLENNIUM,
ONE BODHISATTVA AT A TIME!
N-LIGHTENMENT vs NON-DUAL ENLIGHTENMENT
The most interesting event in UCP since
the last revision of this article is the
return visits of Captain Frank and Neal.
They were exemplar UCPeons, starting in
the sub-zero tone levels and working their
was up through zero [psychic death].
Neal contributed to the UCPlot, and
Captain Frank was very helpful to me
and proactive in teaching UCP.
Neal came up through Boredom and Disagreeability,
and disappeared from the UCP scene for several years.
Captain Frank came up through zero
and kept right on going. He soared up
through the tone levels, passing
everyone else we knew. I tracked
him up somewhere around tone ten.
[He wasn't very interested in
his own tone level any longer.]
He put in LOTS of hours:
900? if I remember right,
and he was way beyond my
ability to duplicate him!
At some point, maybe around ten plus,
he started wondering where it all wound up.
He reported losing interest in UCP when he
lost interest in the past and the future.
He was only interested in the NOW, now.
That’s Tone +20?
We lost sight of both of them for a while.
Then they both reappeared, independently
reporting that they had finally achieved
TOTAL ENLIGHTENMENT. They cite Sailor Bob
and Nisargadatta as their ultimate teachers.
NON-DUALITY SEEMS TO BE THE KEY.
Neal posted a fascinating article by
Sailor Bob I was quite impressed with.
I have no reason to doubt their report:
they were both hexemplar UCPeons, among
the dozen-plus who have publicly come up
past tone zero = death with UCP. They both
did a lot for UCP. I don’t know where
they are now – because I’m not there.
I’m very interested in Sailor Bob and
Nisargadatta, but I’m in a bizarre
technical time warp: super-slow connection
and no system sound. After 8 years
and three wire runs, I finally got my
3-5K phone connection to stop dropping
data and disconnecting! Progress!
But I still can’t hear videos at all
even if I download them at 4K.
I hope that will change soon!
I have occasional flashes of almost
anything: good, bad, ????. My chronic
tone seems to be 5+ but can dive badly
when “stress kicks in”. However, I
seem to be getting more stable recently,
even when threats or setbacks occur.
I’ve survived some VERY close calls lately.
I knew it was close, but I didn’t feel
like I had to act crazy. WAY COOL!
[I'm usually kicking less stress now,
so it doesn't kick back quite so hard.]
I don’t claim to know anything at all
about final total supreme N0N-DUAL
ENlightenment that takes you completely
OFF the tone scale. I only know about
N-lightenment: inching one notch up
from where you are now. I’m still IN the
physical universe, barely being myself.
I know a bit about being other people,
but roughly nothing about being everyone.
I am not yet THE ONE.
I do not see all life
as part of ME!
Not even close!
It’s easy to stay motivated on UCP
until you get your tone level up
past 5, OUT OF WASTE! Past that,
it doesn’t seem so critical, and
I’d rather work on my work than
work on myself. SO I DO!
UCP WILL NOT TAKE YOU UP
TO TONE +40. IT CAN
GET YOU UP AROUND +20,
WITH SUFFICIENT WORK.
TO ACHIEVE NON-DUALITY
YOU NEED ANOTHER PRACTICE.
BUT BEING IN DUALITY IS A
*LOT* MORE FUN AT TONE 5+
THAN AT -20, -30, ETC!
I’VE BEEN THERE!
I DON’T WANT
TO GO BACK!
EVER!
I’M SURE NON-DUALITY IS
EVEN BETTER! AT LEAST
THAT’S WHAT THEY SAY!
I know what it’s like to be psychotic.
I know what it’s like to be neurotic.
I know I don’t want to be there!
I know you can handle them with UCP.
You can do it yourself in a few years
with just this article and the UCPlot!
I know you can get yourself up
to where you are not so concerned
about your tone level as your
relationship with your context.
Foreground and background
start blending a bit.
Where I could be
seems a bit like
WHO I could be.
Whether partial N-Lightment with
UCP helps complete enlightment
or not, I don’t know. It may
well be totally irrelevant:
Frank and Neal seem to think so.
It doesn’t seem to hinder:
two of a dozen + ucpeons
who made it up to tone
zero also made it OFF
the tone scale into full
non-dual enlightment …
with different teachers.
If you want to know more about
complete non-dual enlightenment,
ask someone who knows! I don’t!
