20 May 1996 updated 14 June 1997 RI-545i 'Correct and Joyful Confessional Procedure - Part III' from Ambassador for Mankind Message # RI-545i for Internet "The more incidents or times he is asked or invited to look at simultaneously, by one question asked by you, the more likely he is to get too much interiorized into the whole thing." 'Ambassador for Mankind' In Part II, we had the confessant tell you about an act of his till he is himself satisfied that he has DESCRIBED it to you fully AS A NON-SURVIVAL ACT. That was step two, the end-result of step two. Now you might think that that was the end of the Confession of that non-survival act. No, no. We got, that is, we found the non-survival act, now. That is just the START of the confessing. Now we can get to work on it, you see, with step three and step four (as described in Part IV of the Correct and Joyful Confessional Procedure). And with work, I mean work! "Blood, sweat and tears"-type of work for the confessant (who confesses), and a LOT of patience and insistence from the confessor (who hears the Confession). But before we have that fun, we still might have to do the Preliminary to [coming before] step three, which we call "step three Preliminary", or "step three P". Step 3.P "IF THIS IS NOT ONE PARTICULAR TIME OR ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, THEN TELL ME THE ONE TIME OR THE ONE INCIDENT THAT YOU ARE NOW MOST INTERESTED IN CONFESSING ABOUT." There is a very important reason for this "step three Preliminary", (or "step three P"). On step two - where the confessant describes the non-survival act to you till he is satisfied with the description being the description of a non-survival act - you easily end with a statement - like, as an example: "Not studying things I am interested in" - which describes MORE than one time, MORE than one incident. But in step three and step four, you will ask him questions of the type of "What did others know about IT?" (that's not the question asked on step three or step four, it's just to illustrate this point here, without putting your attention on the actual step three and step four questions, yet). If you ask that question of the confessant, like "What did others know about IT?", he will have to scan several or all of the times when he 'did not study things he was interested in', in order to give you a well-considered answer. This, though it can be done, is unnecessarily hard on both the confessant and on you, as confessor, and it leaves many of those times 'of not studying things he was interested in' touched upon but not fully looked at, and it leaves the confessant, at each question asked about IT, puzzling WHICH of those times (when he was 'not studying things he was interested in') he should pick out or look at first, and how many of these he should look at, and so on. Do you get the point? The more incidents or times he is asked or invited to look at simultaneously, by one question asked by you, the more likely he is to get too much interiorized into the whole thing. And because ONE non-survival act has ALREADY a lot of confusion in it, and you want to REDUCE the confusion, you do step three Preliminary (step three P), so that you only have ONE time or ONE INCIDENT for the confessant to bite his teeth into and digest. It is already "blood, sweat and tears", to really look at the confusion of ONE non-survival act. So you don't overdo it, and with step three P. you make sure that you get ONE INCIDENT, ONE TIME, - which, hopefully, is the most significant time anyway, or the one which, when looked at, does the confessant most good. Again, as in step one, we DON'T GO FOR THE MOST DRAMATIC OR MOST SPECTACULAR NON-SURVIVAL ACT. That time might be not at all the most CONFUSED time. I myself had most remarkable gains on a very simple incident of kissing a girl. Nothing dramatic, nothing immoral, we knew each other for quite some time, and on my birthday-party we exchanged the first kiss and this was seen, and acclaimed, by everyone and she became my fiancee after that. Nothing at all could be wrong, you see. But there WAS something wrong! Due to the nature and intentions of this girl, - who was a virgin and upperclass and beautiful-looking and without ills as far as social acceptability is concerned (she studied French at the University) - she was rather fixated on beauty of the body, and she very much confused "getting Affinity from me" with "being kissed". So, on the surface it was just a kiss, but the non-survival act was letting myself be interiorized into bodies, due to the intentions and character of this girl, the being who was this girl. And I took a Confession on this, on this particular incident, with step three and step four (as described in Part IV). What do you know! At the end of step four, the end of the Confession, I was stably, radiantly exterior from and in full command of my body. I am telling you this to show you that you don't reject or leave out the unseeming things which the confessant gives you as what HE is interested in to confess. Step 3.Preliminary: "IF THIS IS NOT ONE PARTICULAR TIME OR ONE PARTICULAR INCIDENT, THEN TELL ME THE ONE TIME OR THE ONE INCIDENT THAT YOU ARE NOW MOST INTERESTED IN CONFESSING ABOUT." And once again, we have used up the space of this Bulletin without getting to step three and step four, of the correct and joyful Confessional procedure! For these, you will have to wait till part IV.
