Thread: Jaden's Workbook

Perhaps it would help to think about a lack of mindfulness instead. Have you ever talked on the phone with someone and at the same time done something else, maybe you were writing something and then you continued your conversation and went into the other room and when you came back you had no clue where you left the pen. That's because while you were holding the pen, all your attention was on the conversation and you didn't seem to consciously register what your hand had done. We often do this but to a different degree during our day. Some people even perform mechanical acts with hands and feet and have no idea they are even doing them. (Sure you can think of some funny examples )

Well, this is how you shouldn't do RCs. It's not just about counting fingers (although performing this on frequent basis may carry into dreams), it's about having all your attention for a brief moment focused on what you are doing MIND - FULL - all of it. What are you doing, you are most consciensciously trying to understand if this, the present moment is a dream or not, and to consider the possibility that it could be, to relate this to the moment in the future where you will know with certainty that it is a dream, because a moment will come when the RC will work.
