Cmem (karma) can be cleared in many different ways but generally speaking you want to have both a constant bleed and intensive practice.
Any repetitive action can clear cmem, as can any artistic expression. Dance, music, painting, singing, knife making, running, cycling; these are all good ways of clearing up your memory so you can experience true, unfiltered reality.
All of the religious texts have a period of solitude; mine was 60 of semi-solitude. This is only necessary if you fucked up and didn’t regulate properly over the course of your life. The creative outlet really is that important, as is jiggling that leg.
The basic flow for my 60 days (until the drugs blew my head off) was to sit and choose a topic; for example jealousy. Then I would just hold that in my mind softly and start polishing a knife, gradually giving myself over to the knife and starting to feel the sensations in my body move into the blade and then into the stone. The dopamine latch moves from the idea to the knife and I can physically work it out of my brain.
The smell and the sound and the feel and everything combines into a full body experience. It increases in intensity and my eyes go out of focus, my jaw goes slack, I feel all the energy in my nervous system just bleed down the nadis and into the digits, and then… release.
This is often followed by huge emotional release, especially for long-carried trauma. Write it down or dictate to yourself. Let yourself cry. Release it all. Rock on the floor. Once it is gone, it is gone forever; this is a lucky thing.
But
It’s maybe not necessary if you bleed it on an ongoing basis.
Walking my kid to school is a great way to do this. Gentle focus on the repetitive movement of your legs. Dristi eyes. Again I find that the relaxed hands and face really help to make the body glide.
I also tend to carry something heavy in one hand (a meteor now, not a phone) as a grounding item, and this morning I tried subvocal humming at the resonant frequency of my skull which felt very nice indeed.
This is a case of keeping a gentle latch present at all times, so that your dvar (dopamine variability) stays under control. Dvar goes a bit wild if you let your latch flip from thing to thing; all these things vying for our attention are increasing our chance of implosion.
They crank our dopamine system so it loses the ability to latch onto a single thing. Even in the day of the b-man, enlightenment was hard; imagine how it is today.
But it’s possible. B-man specifically said so. And he gave us tools to show the way. Tools which we have replaced with flashing lights and bells and whistles. And it's progressive - it's not just a case of 'enlightened or not'. It is a case of percentages.
You need to empty your vessel, and then you need to keep it empty, so that the divine can flow through you. The way you do this is solitude, repetitive action, and artistic expression.
Remember: art is only human if it contains mistakes. The mistakes themselves *are* the art. Embrace them.
