Readiness check
Answer these without looking anything up.
- Which energy does the method need, and how do you tell it is low?
- What two burdens use up free energy, and what do you do with each?
- Why do euphoric ideas fade while ones from steady energy last?
- What do you change, and what changes as a result, in the feedback chain for guilt?
- What do you do on a bad day, and why might that fail for persistent low mood?
- What do the outer sphere and the amalgam each hand to the world?
- What is the difference between watching the reflection and holding the image?
- What does the gatekeeper require, and what withdraws the verdict's power?
The Afterword and the whole method rest on one idea: the world is a mirror that returns the image you hold, so you act on the image with free energy and no doubt, leave the route to the flow, and claim the right to decide.
