How would that feel? Would that feel odd? Never worried about your own reaction, never worried about your consequences, never be even vaguely upset by your - whether you were going to get tired or confused or not. Yes, how would that feel? Extracted for discussion from SHSBC 2, the above quote appears again, in context: [...] I was rather interested to get a letter from a Clear the other day (I didn't receive it, but it was written to somebody in the organization) and instead of saying how wonderful it all was (beyond the thing that she's getting along fine, which was a social statement), the whole thing was devoted to getting the show on the road in that particular area, and the various problems they were dealing with and how they were settling them, and how we could help out settling these various problems and straightening up the particular area. Darnedest letter you ever wanted to read, see? It's just all - "Well, we're being effective. We want to be effective. Now, here we go. And we're doing this and that, and you can do so-and-so and so-and-so." And there wasn't a single mention of her case beyond this social line, "How are you? I am fine," see? That was interesting too, wasn't it? How would it feel to go around getting things done and never be worried about your case? How would that feel? Would that feel odd? Never worried about your own reaction, never worried about your consequences, never be even vaguely upset by your - whether you were going to get tired or confused or not. Well, this is obviously from a person who if you'd said, "Are you tired?" she would have probably laughed at you. "Who me? Tired? No, no, not tired." "Well, you've been working for forty-eight hours. I thought you might be tired." "Oh, have I? Oh yes. Yeah well, there's a lot of things to do. Now, I'll tell you...." So a Clear, apparently, doesn't go up and sit on cloud nine. Having to play the game is what prevents one from playing the game, and evidently one can play the game as long as one doesn't have to play the game. So that's the status which is reached, which is a very interesting thing.
