User:Ultra Manifestation Review 4
Being in presence is the first and most essential step for Ultra Manifestation shifting out of the deadlock between criticizer and criticized (the "mental" state"). In presence, when "you" feel attacked, remember that you are not the target, you are not being criticized. "Something in you" is being criticized by "something in you." When one is experiencing presence, one doesn't feel criticized.
If I do feel criticized, then most likely I'm "in my head" trying to "figure it out" and I need to breathe, sense my physical self and focus on being in my body, and move into my greatest capacity for presence in the moment. When it comes to negative thoughts, it is possible to imagine a state where we cannot be criticized - from within or without. It's not about bein closed or resistant to feedback. It's about not allowing any of it to make us feel bad about ourselves, our True Self or essence, who we really are.
Many people who are tormented by negative beliefs, thoughts and inner criticism have a hard time picturing a time when they'd be truly free of it. While we cannot "think" our way into such freedom, we can follow the process above and allow our IJC with compassion and invite a sense of what they're not wanting and wanting. Discovering the underlying truth, again and again, is the path that brings deep and lasting change and transformation.
