In Parts I and II of his book, Michael Brown gives a strong foundation to support the experiential part of the process in Part III. Through that preparation we are more able to discern the various aspects of our inner territory in a way that doesn’t conflict with anyone’s beliefs, yet helps us discern four aspects of what it is to be human: physical, mental, emotional and vibration or spirit. He encourages us to learn to use our mental body in a way familiar to ACIM lovers: to give up judgment, the need to understand, identification with our story etc - and use its capacity for objective observation of all that goes on in us with radical self-honesty, co-incidentally, an act of radical Self-love! The goal of the process is so we can become better at feeling - all that we couldn’t let ourselves feel in our early years. Suppressed feelings have a strong charge, which can run our lives: either trying to sedate and control these energetic charges - or - we act them out… When we, instead, can experience the buried feelings - with Presence and unconditional acceptance, a powerful inner alchemy helps lessen the charge and triggers become fewer and further between.
I have been part of Take Me To Truth: The Presence Process with Nicola Povey and several of our Take Me to Truth family since the group began in February of 2022. The group has helped many of us stay with the process when it gets difficult and/or when it seems as if ’nothing is happening’…. I feel such gratitude for each and every one.
