With this new notebook, it was no longer about journaling or venting. The spontaneous thoughts of clarity began coming all the time and with an intense compulsion to write them down which wouldn’t go away until I did.
This notebook became Notebook #1, and it is the beginning of the Insights for Awakening and Enlightenment Series.
At the time, I didn’t realize I was Receiving The Spiral or the Books of OneTrueWisdom - something which I only began to understand around Notebook #3 - and for the next five years the Receiving Process continued daily, completely taking over my life.
Everything became about the Receiving, and even my work schedule miraculously became incredibly flexible so as not to interfere with the Receiving.
For me, the Process of Receiving isn’t a matter of me asking questions, or sitting in expectancy while asking it to come, or being in a meditative state and allowing it to come. I don’t engage in any sort of practice to initiate it. It simply comes... by its own Will and in its own Timing.
It chooses what will be shared, when it’s shared, and the order in which the Wisdom comes. I simply Receive it when it does. Which, during the initial five year period, was usually when I was doing every-day things like working, cleaning, watching tv, driving somewhere or simply walking from one part of the house to another.
More often than not it would come when I was first waking up in the morning, and many times it would wake me up in the middle of the night. So, I always took the current Notebook with me when I went to bed.
I also kept little stores of scratch paper in various places around the house for times when the current Notebook wasn’t nearby. And when not at home, I generally kept paper or a small notepad with me at all times (and on a few occasions used a napkin). No place was off limits for the Receiving to come… not even the bathroom.
As for the actual Receiving, sometimes it was in the form of simple dictation (especially early on). Other times I’d be Shown a mental image and given the task of describing it - similar to how one would describe the details of a scene or painting to another who couldn’t see it. And still other times the complete entirety of a Concept would be Impressed upon me, with my job being to find the most meaningful and accurate words for its translation – which was sometimes easy and sometimes not.
The initial 5 year period of the Receiving Process was an amazing journey to experience. It held many mind-blowing moments, and after I became aware of The Spiral Design, there were quite a few times when, in the midst of the Receiving, I’d be wondering how the current bit of Wisdom related to what had come before it, and I’d always be awe inspired when, before the Receiving was finished, it did every time.
The tremendous Coordination of the Wisdom in these Books and within The Spiral still amazes me when I’m practicing and reading through the pages. No words can fully describe the reverence I have for the True Author with regard to this. It’s simply something you will have to experience for yourself as you journey through the Books of OneTrueWisdom.
The Receiving Process continues to this day, just not as intensely as throughout the initial five year period. And with the help of
The Spiral Design and the Wisdom being Received, my Understanding is immensely expanded and
my experience of Life is vastly different from what it used to be.
