Tufti the Priestess. Live Stroll Through a Movie

• There is illusion of image, and there is illusion of action.

• Motion is not what you do but rather, what is happening.

• You are not living your life – life is happening to you.

• You are directed by a strict script, and for this reason —

• You are free to daydream but bound in your choice of fate.

What other insulting things can I say to you? I’ll remind you of the main point of the previous lesson. You might think that you are your own master and that you act consciously. In actual fact, you are only aware of yourself in the moment that you ask yourself this question. The remainder of the time, your awareness sleeps and surrenders to the outer script.

The ability to show self-awareness for a single moment won’t free you from the script. You are characters inside a film and this is simultaneously an illusion and a trap. Regardless of how much you might think of yourself, – that is where you are, and the trap has its hold on you.

What is stopping you from escaping? Mainly, three things:

1. Ignorance of the fact that you are a character.

2. A reflexive psyche – “snail horns”.

3. The mould, limited by notions of the possible and the impossible.

Look livelier-livelier, happier-happier, amphibians! Everything can be put right. You already have the first thing you need to escape. This is very important, because anyone who is ignorant of the illusion, remains in it forever. Nobody has told you about the illusion of action, and you never had an inkling because such a thing, in your opinion, ‘is impossible’.

Now you know. But this is not enough. Let’s say you’re a snail, and you have learned about the illusion. Would you then stop being a snail? If you cry, “Oh, what a misfortune, I don’t want to be a snail!”, will anything change?

No. You cannot just come to life in a motion picture and start doing whatever you want without following the script. Here a slightly different approach is needed. There are still two hurdles that must be overcome: habits and views. In actual fact, you don’t possess these things, they possess you. But that’s ok, we’ll drag you out of the coma yet.

You are made snails by the habitof waiting and hoping for something to happen rather than composing your own reality. Will it come off or not? Will it work out or not? This is a passive position. From this position, all you are capable of doing is giving reality a prod and pulling back your horns at the slightest little thing.

In order to stop being wet and snotty and become beautiful and happy, you need to shift into active gear. Not wait and hope, but compose your reality. Your mould is an obstacle, as it tells you that it is impossible to compose your own reality. This is your little house, but I’ll drag you out of it, nasty and slippery though you are!

New habits and views are developed just exactly as the old ones took root – through multiple repetitions. Only from now on, instead of staring at reality and following it, you will actively control the movement of the frame. Can you guess which frame?

Not the one in which you find yourself in the present moment but the one that is coming up. As you already know, you can’t change the reality of the current frame because it has already come into being. You can only specify the nature of the reality that is yet to come. So your attention should be focused several frames ahead.

Just like when you tracked your attention, now, you will need to track the forthcoming frame. For this, there are three triggers:

Expectation — something is going to happen; you are waiting, hoping for something.

Intention – you intend to set off somewhere or do something.

Problem – something happened that needs resolving.

Whenever you expect something, don’t wait or hope – compose reality. Whenever you intend to do something, don’t rush to get on with it. First, compose reality. Whenever a problem arises, again, don’t wait, don’t hope, don’t fuss; compose your reality.

Frame illumination method.

1. Catch yourself at one of the triggers.

2. Wake up: I can see myself and I can see reality.

3. Activate the plait, hold the feeling, compose reality.

1. Drop the feeling off the plait.

2. If the event is very important to you, repeat the illumination several times.

Try to remember and constantly think about the forthcoming frame. It won’t work for you every time. At first, you will keep forgetting. Old habits aren’t that easy to unstick. You have to see it out, and replace it with a new one. Don’t be lazy, be smart, get on with it or else I’ll see you out. You’re good for nothing. Nobody loves you except me.

Reprogramming

Don’t get all steamed up, don’t get steamed up, my dears – mug up! Let’s repeat what we’ve covered so far.

• The snail horns and house keep you trapped in the current frame.

• To free yourself from the trap, you must shift into active gear —

• Don’t wait and hope, compose reality. Requirements:

• Constantly practice managing the upcoming frame. Method:

• Expectation, intention, problem – immediate activation and frame illumination.

Compose events in which the outcome is unknown but also compose things that are likely to come true. For example, you are going somewhere and intend to go through a door. You know that this event will happen anyway. Nevertheless, illuminate this frame. Imagine in your thoughts, in words, and even better, visually, opening the door and walking through it.

Don’t be lazy, don’t be lazy! Do you think that you can hide in your house and no one will see you? I’ll get you either way. Why do we need endless repetition? In order to rewire the snail mould. You won’t believe that reality will succumb to your will until you see it for yourself, moreover, repeatedly.

Controlling frame movement in small-scale events is the most effective training method, as a result of which you will…

– Learn to wake up and control your attention.

– Develop your plait, visualisation skills, and intention.

– Switch into active gear, and eventually acquire the ability to free yourself from the dominant script and compose your own reality.

What happens after you activate yourself? You become the only character in your entire environment, who is not subject to the external script. And, failing that, as soon as you lose yourself and become immersed in the motion picture, you instantly identify with it, becoming its integral part, moreover, a dependent, imitative part – a mannequin.

But once again, you drag your attention away from the current frame and illuminate the upcoming frame. In this moment, you come alive in the motion picture and start moving freely, at your own discretion. Now you still occupy the same mannequin but in a totally different capacity. Imagine a mannequin in a shop stepping down from the display window and going about its business. This is roughly what happens to you.

You are still in the motion picture as before, but at the same time, you are taken out of the sequencing as if your individual frame could move freely along the film roll. Let’s just say, now your ‘frame frequency’ is different from the frequency of the reality frames, which enables you to free yourself up from the confines of the dominant script.

Have you ever seen in a movie or on TV, what a spinning wheel or propeller looks like? It appears to spin instantly or turn in the opposite direction, because the spinning blade frequency and interval are quite different to the frame interval. Similarly, your attention and plait manipulations place you in a different frequency and interval to reality. In this sense, you can move freely about the film.

The yet-to-be-realised future drags you from the sequence of the present when you take hold of that future and try to affect it. The impending reality, though written in the Eternity archive, is always multi-variant and has not been totally defi ned or composed by anyone – nobody owns it yet. When someone turns up, who will compose a variant of it, then that future surrenders to their instruction. And if that someone is you, it becomes yours.

Do you want reality to be yours? So, take it, and compose it as you wish. This is a fundamentally new approach to your reactions, behaviour, and existence. The difference is that your attention will no longer get stuck in the current frame but strive ahead instead. Observance is replaced by advance, and passive waiting by agency. You no longer string along with reality as if on a leash, but direct it, driving it forward.

But before your desired reality can become the physical reality of your daily life, you, my head-choppers, must get yourself a reprogramming. I can’t do this for you. You may not get it perfect, straight away. You will only be able to create what agrees with your everyday, routine experience. Until you finally believe that you are capable of composing reality, it will slip away from you unyielding.
