Just One Look Forum Archives

Most people who seek help with their experience of life may try a number of different methodologies that can include spirituality, psychotherapy, religion, medication, yoga, group therapy, and even such dangerous procedures as ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy).

With most or all of these methods, an expert will offer guidance of one kind or another, and monitor progress or regress to help keep them on the right track. The expert will have a systematic regimen to offer, based on their experience with those who have come before, and he or she will be prepared to guide the patient based on that experience.

We are not like that. But we do know quite a bit about the method of looking at yourself and its results. The direct result of the initial act of looking is the immediate disintegration of the context of fear that is the source of the all the misery. This is true for all who look. It's a lot like a reset button. Once done it will trigger a process of psychological transformation that can be difficult, and is entirely unique in detail to each person.

There is no systemic regimen that can be deployed to guide the reborn personality step-by-step to the intelligent and sane outcome that is the prize at the end of the road. Each person will have a unique a journey to freedom and sanity, and each journey will be as unpredictable and complicated as was the damaged personality that is being regenerated. The actual help that is available here has nothing to do with understanding what your personality should be, but we can give you an extremely simple practice to train yourself to be effective at making the moment-by-moment choices that taken together will shape your mind from now on. And that is something that only you can do.

You will also have to learn how to use the help of the many who have been working with this for longer than you and can also speak from their direct experience of the true nature of sane human life. The sooner you begin to look for guidance in the complex process of recovery the better off we will all be.

But the best help you can get will come from questions that arise from your actual experience of looking at yourself. Our intention with these Open House meetings is to provide a central venue where the questions, doubts, and fears that are unique to you can be heard and considered by the entire community for the benefit of all.
