From an email (some Work basics)

I don't want to get into Work teaching nit-picking, but just remember that self-remembering is a definite, concrete thing. You know it by knowing what waking-sleep is (by knowing, actually observing, its opposite). By observing waking sleep. You can only do that by making an aim to self-remember and then fall, inevitably, into waking sleep, then remember you'd made an aim. Then you look back and see what waking sleep is. And hence you know what self-remembering is.

(For others: you have to have developed to at least the stage of having Observing I, which requires Magentic Center to have been developed in you.)

But I just bring this up because when you tie self-remembering into unique atmospherics and environmental things (and there's nothing wrong with that, necessarily) you may get away from the concrete, perhaps more prosaic 'work' of self-remembering in everyday moments and events and activities.

You'll know if you are really self-remembering and accumulating energy when your false personality FIGHTS BACK. When energy of consciousness has truly been accumulated FP can't help but manifest eventually via negative features.

Then you're on the battlefield where limits can potentially be extended (the only place limits can be extended).

Just don't ever bring the Work (Work ideas and practices and goals) down to the level of things like meditation or sensing or what not. I know you wouldn't, but a person can gravitate (or entropy) down, down, down, imperceptably. Especially when taking a break from engaging C Influence itself (which is what direct, concrete Work practices are about).

What you are doing now, though, is BIG. You're doing the necessary SELF-initiation into the realm of B Influence. - C.
