Clearing
Use the bolded questions to
bring to the front of your mind your persistent unwanted/hidden thoughts,
considerations, withholds, stuffed-perpetrations, and incompletes.
To whom are you afraid* to say what?
OK Kerry, you say this stuff works,
so here goes. First,
to heck
with the speling. I'm afraid to tell my wife that I
cheated on her during our engagement. I'm afraid to tell my daughter's teacher
what I really think of her. I'm afraid to tell my wife's
mother that I'm offended by her racist humor. I'm afraid to tell
my wife's grandmother that she stinks of urine. I'm
afraid to tell my boss that I come in late a lot. I'm
afraid to ask my boss for a raise. I feel badly that I'm
looking for another job without telling my boss.**
I'm afraid to tell my daughter that I don't like the boy
she's dating and if I had my way I wouldn't allow her to
see him anymore. I'm afraid to ask her if she's had sex
with him.
Note 1 A thought such as, "I lied to my mother about going to the
library" when communicated, disappears the effects
of that lie. The thought
will exist as a
memory but without the charge attached to the deceit.
A
thought communicated
creates space for other incompletes to bubble to the
surface. This is why it's valuable to clear frequently.
The "good" stuff, the hidden stuff your mind doesn't want to
acknowledge, is usually buried deep under dozens of
other thoughts. "I've been clearing every other
week for 45 years and new
incompletes still come to the surface—petty childhood
thefts or stinginess, temper-tantrums, pouts, abuses,
and sneakinesses—perpetrations I had pushed to the back of
my mind thinking I had gotten away with it." —Kerry
Note 2 "I
lied a lot
when I was a child," is a good beginning but it's a
generalization, it doesn't address the specific lie that
runs you. "I deceived my own parents and conned my
date into deceiving both sets of
parents when I manipulated him into begging me for sex"
is an example of a specific deceit; it's a perpetration that
most adults are dragging around into each interaction to
this very day.
* If
you're not "afraid" of saying something to someone then
ask yourself what considerations, thoughts, or reasons
come up for you when you think about telling _ _ _
_
about _ _ _ _ _ _ ?
**
Notice that you can
insert any thought that comes to mind any time or place.
What are you hiding from whom?
I'm hiding that I stole
several comic books when I was a kid.
I'm hiding that I didn't file income taxes for about five years
when I first started to work. I'm hiding from my wife that
I think a lot about _ _ _ _ in the sales department. I'm hiding
from my dad that one night when
I said I was going to the library I also went out
drinking. I'm hiding from my folks
that _ _ _ _ _ and I smoked a lot of pot when we were
dating. I'm hiding from my wife's dad that I don't think his jokes are funny and
that some are even too gross for my daughter to hear. I'm hiding
from Joan's folks that I think they are alcoholics and that I
don't like to visit them because they become obnoxious
when they drink. I'm hiding from all religious people
who use the words Christ or God in their conversations that they turn me off;
even worse, when a religious proselytizer knocks on my
door to ____.
Communicate a resentment
I resent people who communicate their religious
belief/organization with adornments, hair, head
gear/scarfs or jewelry. I resent my high school English
teacher who let me con her into passing
me. I resent people who drive less than the speed limit.
I resent mainland online orgs that charge exorbitant
shipping and handling fees when other merchants prove it
can be done cheaper. I resent newspaper editors who don't
write clearly.
I resent people who compose the voting options for
causing me confusion. i.e. "Shall rescind the amendment
that reads anti pro-abortion rights . . ."
For what in your life would you
like to be acknowledged?
I'd like to be acknowledged for cheating on a high
school math test. I'd like to be acknowledged for lying
to my dad when he asked if I
scratched the Toyota. I'd like to be acknowledged for
talking a friend of mine into masturbating with me when
I was ten. I'd like to be acknowledged for talking
(conning) a girl into having sex when she said no. I'd
like to be acknowledged for not telling my spouse that I
find our neighbor attractive. I'd like to be
acknowledged for getting good grades in college, for
picking up litter when no one is watching, and for being
nice to old people. I'd like to be acknowledged for all
the times I said I did the chores but didn't, ditto
for lying to my mother about brushing my teeth. I'd also like to be
acknowledged for all the chores that I did do, some done
very well, others very poorly. Especially I'd like to be
acknowledged for emptying the can of paint in the back
yard and then
telling my mom that we ran out of paint. That's all for
today.
Keep in mind that incompletes hide
incompletes:
That is to say, you piled feeling badly on
top of your first lie, the one for which you have yet to
be caught. Hiding a lie guarantees another lie, and another,
etc. Your integrity is such that you continue lying
(automatically/unconsciously) or, keep causing
others to lie, deceive, and withhold from you, until you
clean up your firsts and acknowledge the effects of all
subsequent ones. There are hundreds (actually thousands)
of deceits and lies covering up the first one. Today's
clearing will uncover more. You may run out of
things to post today however, when you come back
tomorrow you'll notice you have more. Eventually your clearings will all be current,
about today's perps (abuses) and withholds. If you keep
clearing, even when it's very embarrassing, you will find
yourself choosing to not withhold, deceive or lie. Usually what
happens is someone will do a few clearings and stop;
they don't know why, they just do—it's partly because the
mind doesn't want another's mind to know just how
uncommitted to having life work it is; it doesn't like
witnesses. Also, the mind comes up against a current
perpetration, say choosing to continue to interact with
an abusive person knowing it (the mind) is enabling them to be
abusive, and is hiding that thought during a clearing.
In a relationship in which both are committed to zero
significant thoughts withheld, the first withhold creates a
condition of out-integrity, after which mediocrity sets
in, it's the beginning of the end of ever-expanding
growth and aliveness.
Your aim is
DEFINITELY not to stop
abusing or lying, nor is it about making a
decision to not abuse or lie anymore. The game
is to catch (observe yourself having just lied or abused another) and to communicate
it (acknowledged it verbally or in writing) to
the person you yelled at or abused or to
at least one other person. If you do
the process regularly you will begin to have a
choice. Soon you will hear yourself
having just verbally abused another or lied and you'll have the
awareness, the integrity (your integrity will be closer to the
surface), to verbally acknowledge the abuse or to put in correction immediately. Eventually you'll
automatically stop verbally abusing another or lying, not from trying to change yourself, or
from making yourself wrong, or feeling badly about yourself, but
from having a conscious choice. Instead of walking around in life
with the aura of a somewhat sneaky irresponsible person you will experience
being in-integrity, being whole and complete. Eventually you will
attract like-people into your life. You will no longer have a need to attract those who are out-integrity so as to mirror
your own out-integrity.
A
person who operates from integrity, one who is complete and
committed to communicating openly and honestly, can experience
another's out-integrity; it's an aura thing.
As
such, they usually choose to interact with you as little as possible
because they know a closer relationship with you will generate
undesirable problems—that your karma is still generating
consequences from unacknowledged childhood perpetrations. Those
presently around you have no idea that they have no choice other
than to
keep certain thoughts to themselves. A person who is whole and
complete (in-integrity) creates space for open and honest
communications.
Who in your life is unconsciously hexing you because they
believe you don't yet deserve success and happiness—because of the
way you treated them?
Who would say that materially (money/possessions) they ended up on
the short end of the stick in their relationship with you? (read
Who gets what in a divorce?).
Who
would say that you have communicated abusively with them
and, that you have yet to acknowledged to them that you
know that you were abusive?
Ultimate integrity is not that you don't
verbally abuse another or lie,
but that you can be trusted to clean up such abuses. Obviously, the most
value comes from delivering the withholds and acknowledging (cleaning up) the
abuses, lies and perpetrations. Once you are aware that withholding
thoughts from a loved one or family member is abusive
(deceitful) then
choosing to withhold begins to have even more undesirable
consequences. It could be said that The Clearing Process creates
space for you to begin over with a clean slate.
