This is challenging to articulate, especially when we are speaking about processes below the level of our general awareness.

Clearing in the traditional sense may not be enough alone to lead to the good life and get out there and get the things we want.

That's why some folks are promote the idea of creations.

However when I speak of clearing I'm now speaking about non traditional clearing or better put: Transformational Clearing. TRANSFORMATIONAL CLEARING. That is clearing that not only alters or clears an emotional object, it changes the emotional charge to its opposite, thus transforming the target into esentially its opposite.

This sort of clearing or transformational clearing is relatively new and in its newness, it leads to some confusion in understanding. CLEARING HAS A MEANING to many folks. It means shazaam--that feeling is no longer there.

This is what many clearers of the old school (and a fine school) experience. Straight line clearers generally just clear out something and no transformation takes place (it could under certain circumstances). The stuff is zapped--it's no longer a hassle, but nothing jumps into the breech to replace it. Most straight line clearers do not get the neccessary essence to form the bedrock of a transformation in an unconscious belief. I can't speak of scientology or Avatar because I only know hearsay and have never experienced those processes as either clearers or as creation makers. I've played with Gerbode's TIR and the Pilot's stuff and found them rewarding. But not as transforming clearers (adding energy/breathing to them and they become transforming vehicles) Both Zen and Mindfulness can produce essence after lots and lots of practice and thus create the transformation of material brought into their focus. However beginners seldom experience this--it's something that occurs in the long haul.

People coming from the experience of old school straight line viewing may not view CLEARING as nearly enough. You would need to have something to replace those secondaries.

Belief processes would have to be added. I've heard of temporal tapping, breathing into opposite beliefs and clearing secondaries and all sorts of processes. People have told me they got much from their Avatar creation processes--I've read it on NAP.

There is another way to do clearing that takes into account the desire to fill a void--to have a guiding creation.

This is what I am calling here transformational clearing.

Transformational clearing is clearing that is done all the way out into essence or that state where we have the bedrock of acceptance, love, serentity, wholeness, power, and connection. In transformational clearing (I used to call it flipovers up until 2 minutes ago) we transform the undergirding feeling of the target into its opposite. This opposite draws its energy from the bedrock of essence, core state, satori or whatever you wish to call it. In short your target has become its opposite.

SUDDENLY WHAT WAS A SECONDARY HAS DONE A SUMMERSAULT INTO ITS OPPOSITE! Imagine for an instant what it would be like to believe at a visceral emotional level that you can not accomplish a task because you lack missing ingredients. In a transformational clearing that secondary becomes a powerful felt sense that proclaims yes you can accomplish that task because you have resources within you. It resides at the raw feeling level and acts as a guiding system in your unconscious. You just know you can. The secondary has transformed and now it's the opposite-- a positive inner strength... This is what transformational clearing is about. It is not about getting rid of something and leaving a vacume--on the contrary, it draws on our very wordless and powerful state of whole being.

The void nature is actually quite full and rich--it is not an empty vacume, but the ground of our being. Not only does it provide for what we often believe we lack and seek out there, it also transforms those targets we may view as against our best interests. (However a closer inspection often reveals they just ineficiently attempt to provide us something we wanted. We wanted to feel good--but the addiction didn't provide us what we already have which was blocked by splayed perceptions and trances.

Certain processes do transformational clearing. Sedona when well practiced and carried all the way out. Core Transformations definately. And Emoclear processes. Mind Back tracker also is in this category. These are processes that basically clear and create at the same time.

Transformational clearing when done properly does not leave us an empty space to fill. It is clearing that reverses a belief or feeling into its opposite. (Many of you deep sea travelers already know that each feeling contains the seed of its opposite.

I'm not against creations or supportive of an empty vacume leading nowhere (all though uncertainy can be as much fun as demons)--I like homebrew creations that pop out of the

bedrock of our essential nature.

Creations are cool! Wether they come from the activities we undertake or from transformational clearing.

Maybe the next time I come to this subject I'll have to tell it in parables.

Hope I've shed a little more light than I've blocked, Steve
