Periods of secluded total silence. 2. Non-directed meditation and/or prayer. 3. Being at-peace, alone, in silence. 4. Silencing fretful anxieties and fears. 5. Letting go of concerns with dominance/controls. 6. Letting go of concerns about superiority. 7. Letting go of concerns about personal salvation. 8. Letting go of concerns about personal possessions. 9. Letting in different ideas from different people. 10. Permitting different people to become friends. The people who often have great difficulty with the above; are people who are domineering, in the service of The Domination System, playing collusive games of mutual self deception, and/or addictive/codependent people. Such people have difficulty with the above ten courses of "action" because they entail FAILING: to be domineering, to be in the faithful service of The Domination System, to protect their Holy collusive games of mutual self deception, to serve their codependent addicts, to be loyal to their "best" friends, to protect their "integrity."
