PERSONAL MILESTONES

Peter Graham

30th October 1988

There is a growing awareness that many of us are on a spiritual path and that each spiritual path is very much an individual or personal thing.

Progress on a spiritual path is often characterized by the attainment of PERSONAL MILESTONES along the way. A personal milestone is an important personal achievement or a new plateau of personal ability, freedom, awareness or enlightenment. Looking back over one's existence, it is easy to spot some of them as high points or important turning points.

Personal milestones usually have higher harmonics and often one can continue to expand on those wins to reach higher levels of attainment or certainty, and/or to build on them to reach other new milestones.

Even where two people appear to have had the same or a very similar realization or win, things like reality (degree of), understanding (depth of) and/or viewpoint (breadth of) may well be very different indeed.

AUDITING TECHNOLOGY

Where does auditing technology fit in with all this? Can an auditing type of approach alone provide all the help a being may need along his or her spiritual path? Are other things needed also? Or, does a being have to do it all on his or her own (with no external assistance whatsoever)?

There are a variety of important personal milestones that auditing technology is exceptionally suited to helping a being move toward, achieve or expand on. It is also particularly effective in helping to "debug" a being who is hung up or stalled on his/her spiritual path, and/or for beings who are having difficulties in playing the game of life.

Ultimately, the purpose of auditing is a spiritual one and it has a vital role to play in that regard. The use of auditing as a temporary "repair" action is quite legitimate, however its potential exceeds that by a long long way.

Accepting that many (or all) beings are on a spiritual path and that each path is individual, it is clear that there can never be a single "grade chart" or fixed series of case programs or levels that will be uniformly applicable to all persons. In other words, not all being's cases are the same. We've already been down that road.

However, there are a number of important areas that are clearly common to all beings, things that are certain (at certain stages) to require serious attention by any being on his or her spiritual path. Many of these fall within the domain of things that auditing tech can effectively help with.

Beings can accumulate large and encysted areas of CHARGE (negative energy) in relation to all of these vital areas and releasing charge is a primary function of auditing technology. (There are others, of course, such as gradiently improving certain basic abilities, expanding awareness, reviewing beliefs and considerations, etc.).

Some of the things that an auditing type of approach can help a being achieve or handle, could not be done or reached in any other way or would not be resolved to the same degree of depth or thoroughness.

OTHER APPROACHES

This is not to say that auditing tech is the only thing that addresses or can effectively help a being in these same general areas - to say that would show ignorance and be completely untrue. There are a vast array of things that a being may desire or need to resolve, handle, experience or explore that can not be satisfied through auditing or auditing alone, but which can be adequately satisfied through some other means or source.

Thus, no single technical approach, philosophical system or self-improvement methodology could ever satisfy all that a being will require on his or her spiritual path. And in addition, there are many many things that every being will have to do, explore, face, handle and work out totally by him/herself.

Even with external assistance or guidance (such as through auditing, or from studying or receiving another's wisdom, or by connection with a particular guru) a being actually still has to do it him/herself to make any real and lasting progress.

In the final analysis, no other being or entity can do your looking or confronting for you, take responsibility for you, resolve your confusions for you, evaluate data for you, change your considerations or beliefs for you, or have your realizations for you. Nor can another create your universe (or parts thereof) for you - or cease creating it (or parts thereof)!

THE STATE OF CLEAR

What we have known as the State of Clear is a personal milestone of great importance. It is a key type of enlightenment experience that is essential for any being who is to progress to really high states.

There are actually many other important milestones that can also be identified as commonly experienced by beings on their spiritual paths. These include things such as recognizing or becoming one's basic (or higher) self, realizing that one is a spiritual being, learning to love oneself, and many many more.

One may hear or read about such things and accept them, but having one's own realizations about them is a different matter altogether (as one's reality level moves up). It is a fact that some beings may already have a high level of reality in some of these vital areas.

Just like any other comparable personal milestone, the State of Clear is not an absolute. It can't be an absolute or even a near absolute, because personal reality is a gradient scale. It is a personal thing, a personal milestone. For this reason, declaring it as a state is (and was) of questionable value (but a being's own recognition of it as a milestone can be very important).

To put the State of Clear into perspective, it is but one of many personal milestones that can be identified as critically important on any being's spiritual path and which can be achieved (and/or expanded on) through auditing. And, like any other personal milestone of this type, the state of clear also has higher harmonics, as one attains new levels of reality, understanding and certainty.
