10001110101

Ribonucleic acid freak out, the power of prayer.
Long halls of science and all the lunatics committed there.
Robot Lords of Tokyo, SMILE TASTE KITTENS!
Did you not know that the royal hunting grounds are always forbidden?
Are you rolling tape now? Bits and pieces large and small
Sector, vector, eat them all.
It’s already in the rice!
Among the mental ones a messenger will soon arrive.


10001110101
Periodic table with a center piece of mind.
10001110101
Periodic table with a center piece of mind.

Man alive the jive and lyrics,
Radioactive, don’t come near it.
Temple of Syrinx having the bake sale of the year.
Man alive the jive and lyrics,
Radioactive, don’t come near it.
Temple of Syrinx having the bake sale of the year.

Ain’t nothing you can do about it. Gonna be a big brawl over it
Like them little bitty babies in the king cakes.
Bonnie & Clyde the whole dome,
The shackles of automaton will shatter like their bones.

Half a mind to double up, baby. Three times is jive.

This, the Equivalent, or Whatever Would Be Better

"When we release our deliberate intention, we rest in the willingness to receive "this, the equivalent, or whatever would be better," which settles the matter in our mind about further expression, including expression in fact.

It reminds us to release our will and stay released.



Now, this does not mean that we're to accept anything that comes along as automatically better, even if we don't feel that it is. Rather, it means that we're willing to release all willfulness, all urgency, all attempts to coerce or manage the form and timing of corresponding fulfillment in fact.

There are cases where, for reasons we may not see, not getting what we've deliberately intended would be better than getting it; keen Field training students recognize the paradox here: Release of deliberate intention means we're both willing to have what we've intended and willing to not have it. This isn't a contradiction, because being willing to not have is not the same as not being willing to have.

Receptivity must be there; we must be willing to receive. Resolve must be there---the resolve to remain true to the fulfilled identity no matter what may speak against it. But there's no way around the need for the unconditional release of our will, which means there can be no clinging, as clinging keeps the project within the limited jurisdiction of Particle will.



This may be challenging in cases where we don't believe that anything else could be better. Nevertheless, complete release of the will is essential---a release facilitated by our remembering that if the corresponding fulfillment turns out to be something better than we've envisioned, then we'll recognize it as better, and as the fulfillment of our deliberate intention."
