Dear Graduates:
I have been releasing for about 4 years. I felt that I had reached a peaceful place of being; little did I realize that I had just been floating above my garbage.
Just under a year ago, I found out about Larry and The Abundance Course and gave hem a call. In the past I had reached states of being sometimes for as long as a year, but rubbish would still resurface. Larry explained that I had been in a nice space but had been just floating above my garbage. I could quite easily have stayed in that space this whole lifetime; however little growth would have been made.
He explained that it was a very common pitfall of the method. You reach a nice quiet place stay there, but do not get rid of the remaining garbage. I have so much gratitude towards Larry for pointing that out to me and enabling me to continue on the journey towards freedom.
I ordered the Abundance Course and began working with tapes.
The things that Lester has spoken about started to become apparent. Larry was kind enough to work with me and started to point out to me that I was experiencing things that Lester had spoken about. Things started to open up for me. I decided to fly from England to Los Angeles to take a Live Course and spend some time with Larry. I also ordered the Goals and Resistance course and all of the Advanced Courses.
I would like to share some of the things that have happened to encourage you to continue releasing for freedom.
The mind stilled. So what! you might say. But let me explain: no more worries, doubts, recriminations, etc. Just a delightful peace. A deep sense of resting no matter what was happening. No matter what happens now there is always that state of resting. Of being. The mind can never touch me again. It comes and goes but I know it can never touch me again.
Kam comes and goes, and that’s ok too. There is deep sense of rest like in deep sleep. It is so beautiful and peaceful. This deep, deep sense of peace. It really has to be experienced to be believed.
The world is seen for what it is. A dream or drama. The drama goes on. I just watch, like sitting in a movie theater. Everything is ok. There is no need to change anything because everything is as it should be. Everything is perfect.
You start to see everybody as part of you. There is no other. There never was any other. There is only one and we are that. There is a sense of “coming back” to play the game. But this time just for having fun. There is only beingness.
Lester and all the masters are here with us. Every single second they are with us. We just have to call on them. Now there is just a resting. Things just happen, without effort.
I would encourage every one of you who has the method to continue releasing. To continue releasing until you have all the peace and joy that is rightfully yours. And this is possible this very lifetime if you would do it.
We start and then we stop. Then we start again, and then we stop. And so it goes on. This is because the decision has not been made. Once the decision has been made then the releasing momentum starts, and releasing becomes easier and easier.
The problem is you do not want it. You talk about it and think about it, but ultimately you really do not want it. If you did then there would be no stopping.
You would rather bathe in misery. You love your stories and suffering too much. Take a good look inside and see for yourself.
The method is the most powerful tool available. It is the most highest method possible. What it is? “I am not this feeling. I am not this feeling. I am not this feeling.” It is stopping you identifying with the lesser part of you.
So make the decision now, the peace and relief you will experience is ecstasy.
Love, [SIGNATURE]

Kam Bakhshi的一封信——释放到自由

如果你对灵性这部份的成长提升很感兴趣，也许你会想知道Sedona Method究竟有没有真的让Lester Levenson以外的人达到“觉悟”、“回归本我”、“与神性合一”、“解脱自在”等词汇所形容的境界。
10个月前，我在一个讨论Sedona Method的论坛看到一篇文章，就针对这个问题作了回答，不过在这之前我一直都不觉得有给零阻力同学们这个东西的必要，不过不知为何，最近一直有想要把那篇文章翻译出来的冲动…
正所谓灵感来的时候务必行动，所以我就翻了，请看：

Title: Reaching Freedom
Posted by : tom on April 01, 2008, 02:01:17 AM
似乎总是有人会对Sedona Method有所质疑，因为除了Lester之外，他们没听说有谁因这个方法而达到解脱自在的境界，因此会想知道到底有没有人因为学了Lester教的各种原理而达到同样的境界。想搞清楚有没有其他人透过释放的方式达到解脱的最大问题是：在那些人体悟到真正的自由之后，他们就进入真正的喜乐之中，他们不再需要当劳碌者(Doer)。
当你觉醒之后，你不一定就会自动变成一位导师、大师、或者积极想把自己发现的一切教给别人的人。其实反而是相反的方向比较合乎逻辑：你处在真正的喜悦之中，你唯一想要的只有停留在那个状态而已。
如果要教导别人，你就得要把自己降到跟他们一样的层次，才能顺利教导他们。就我所读到的关於Lester的资讯来说，他就是隐居起来享受那种真正的喜悦很多、很多、很多年之后，才决定要开始教导别人。我想大多数人觉醒之后，会宁可当个隐形人，而不会想当个导师。所以，其实应该有很多人都透过Lester的方法达到解脱，只是我们不知道而已。
不过，我自己有认识一位男士，他透过Sedona Method，在2003年达到解脱自在的境界，他是英国人，名字是Kam Bakhshi。我想跟你分享摘录自他在解脱之后写给我的信中的部分段落：
“我想跟你分享一些发生在我身上的事，鼓励你们继续作释放，以达到解脱自在的境界。
心智静止下来了。“那又怎样？”你可能会说。让我解释一下：不再有担心、怀疑、自责等等，只剩下令人愉悦的平静。不论发生什麼，都保持深度的静息。不管现在正在发生什麼事，都维持在那种静息状态中。一种纯然的存在状态。心智不再能影响我。它来来去去，但我知道它永远无法再对我产生任何影响。
Kam来来去去(译注：指他的小我ego)，而那也没关系。我处在深层的静息中，就像在深度的睡眠当中，如此美好、如此平静。这真的得要亲身经历过才能相信。
看到有形世界的真貌：一场梦境、或者说一场戏。戏剧继续演出，而我只是观赏，就像坐在电影院中一样。每一件事都很OK，没有必要去改变任何事，因为一切都以它最应该的方式呈现著。一切都很完美。
你开始把每个人都看做自己的一部份。世界上没有别人，而且自始至终都没有别人。从头到尾都只有一个，而我们就是那个”一”。不再有任何的二元对立。没有任何一件事发生过，而一切都正在发生。产生一种”回来”继续这场游戏的意识，不过这次纯粹只是为了好玩。
我什麼都不作，我也从来没有做过任何事。唯有存在 (Beingness)。Lester以及古往今来每一位大师都一直陪著我们，每分每秒都在，我们只需要呼唤他们。
现在一切仅余静息。事情也许发生、也许不发生，但都跟我无关，也跟我息息相关。
我会鼓励你们每个拥有这方法的人持续作释放。我们总是开始作一阵子、然后停下来，再开始作一阵子、再停下来，又开始作一阵子、又停下来，没完没了。
会这样的原因是没有作出决定。只要做出决定，就能开始累积作释放的动能，而释放这件事就会越来越简单。
最大的问题是：你其实并不真正想要解脱自在。你也许喜欢聊、喜欢思考关於解脱自在的事，但是说真的你并不真正想要它。如果你真的想要的话，那就没什麼能阻挡你。事实是你宁可继续浸淫在悲惨中，你太过热爱自己编出的各种故事与苦痛了。好好检视一下你的内在，自己看看是不是这样吧。
看清楚心智到底是什麼，不要再像傻瓜一样，把自己跟垃圾当作是一体。让它去讲它的故事，那跟你一点关系也没有。
你将体验到的平静与内在的释放难以用文字形容。那是一种永续的平静，有形世界还是会有各种状况与戏剧发生，但那平静永远都在。
我想请求你们继续作释放。过程中多爱自己一点、对自己温柔一点，你们跟我是一样的，没有任何差别。我跟你们分享这些，是为了鼓励你们继续走到底；一次从此终结一切苦难。”
他还写到：
“多复习”六步骤”。里面包含你需要知道的一切，它们就像一张通往解脱自在的地图，而且能让你走在正确的路径上。你在知识层面需要知道的一切，都包含在”六步骤”之中。
务必先确定达到第一步，也就是你想要解脱自在的程度，必须要高於你想要这个有形世界的程度。如果能做到第一步，那就没有什麼能阻挡你。请务必确定有符合第一步。
第二步是做出要解脱自在的决定。要解脱自在只需要一个决定而已。身为一个无穷存在，你当然可以在任何时候决定要丢弃这一切。
少说话，试著安静下来并保持安静。在每一次你想开口时，要看到自己的想要被认可、想要控制与想要安全，并把它释放掉。
少看电视、听收音机、读报纸等，而要看到自己想藉由那些方式逃避，并且作释放。
尽可能轻食，我们常会以食物来压抑感受。
尽可能戒除药物与酒精，因为那也是我们常拿来压抑感受的东西。
Sedona Method的第四步是持续作释放，而对我而言这一步是关键。试著让你50%以上醒著的时间都在作释放，这表示你花在当你的”本我”的时间，会比你花在不当”本我”的时间更长。如果你这麼做，心智就会脱离；如果你这麼做，就会开始发现活在自己的脑子里是很奇怪的事，而你也会越来越常停留在”本我”。
要记得，你本来就已经是完全自由的。

第二段
“这个方法是你能得到的最强有力的工具。这是世上可能有的最高的方法。它是什么？”我不是感受，我不是感受”，停止认同你的那一微小的部分。我们得到这件美丽的礼物，我们把它搞砸了。我们把它用在自己微小的那部分上了。
所以现在做出决定吧，你体验到的平静和解放会是一种狂喜。
爱你
kam bakkshi”
