Activity #10:

In this activity you will be using 3 by 5 cards created in the previous activity. If you haven't done the previous activity, then do so.

Using the cards prepared in the previous activity, look at each card and answer the following question:

Is the incident selected an episode with multiple actions and a duration, or is it a single moment -- a time slice?

If the incident on the card is a single moment -- a time slice -- then put that card in the "okay" pile. If the incident is composed of multiple actions then select any single moment from the episode that best captures that thing about the incident that inspired you to include it in the first place. Write a new card with that extracted moment. Put the new card in the "okay" pile and put the multiple action card in the "later for you" pile.

Go through your stack of 3 by 5 cards until each incident has been checked against this standard.

When you are done you should have one pile with "okay" cards and another pile with "later for you" cards.

Save the "later for you" cards for later. We may or may not ever come back to these cards.

Continue with the process of compiling cards with single moments from your life. After this activity you should have a better notion of what we were referring to in the previous activity when we asked for "moments".


Notes: What surprised those of us monitoring the original Just Because Club experiment was the almost unanimous reports of success in entering the clairvoyant vision -- also known as a Bardo state. Some of the individuals did not have the verbiage background to recognize what had occurred. But, when they described the activity it became obvious that something quite profound had occurred for them. For me, the lesson is: simple, but exact, changes in what we do can act as transformational triggers.

Buyer Beware: Some of these activities may be a bit too weird for you to do. Or, perhaps you may live in a family or clinical situation that doesn't allow you the freedom to do really strange stuff. If this is the case, call and we can work out an alternate activity. Don't get pushed into doing something that you will regret.

If you take the advice of an idiot, who's the idiot?
