Introduction — to be written. The teaching that opens this protocol goes here. Delete this block once it is written.
The false self grows out of unconscious being. It is a fragmented amalgam of many selves tenuously bound together by a facade of normalcy. It is a divided house built upon an imaginary foundation, a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.
The false self is the greatest barrier (all barriers are imagined, of course) to the realization of our true identity of universal being. The false self is essentially a psychological process occurring in the mind that organizes, translates, and makes sense (or in many cases nonsense) of all incoming data from the senses.
When the psychological process mixes together with the self-reflexive movement of consciousness, it produces a sense of self. This sense of self then pervades consciousness as a sort of perfume that causes the mind to mistake what is actually a psychological process for being an actual separate entity called one’s self.
This mistaken conclusion, that you are a separate self, happens very early in life in a more or less automatic and unconscious way.

The source of all separation is the “I” thought. Transcend the “I” thought.

This is one page of something much larger. If you find yourself wanting the whole method rather than a piece of it, that is what the Apprenticeship is for.
Levels One and Two, just the two of us, working on whatever you bring — until you can do this without me. That was always the point.
If you would like company on this piece of the work, a Personal Navigation Session is the place to begin.
