       Some importances are "negative"

       I just realized that certain things matter quite a bit to me but
       in a negative way. For instance, I do not like the cold. I do
       not like crowded cities. I do not like pollution. Now, if I were
       doing RI, the only importances I would create would be the
       opposite of those --- I would create warm weather, wide open
       spaces with clean air.
       The reason this is important is that I am faced with a crucial
       life decision. And I realized that the way to make the decision
       is to figure out what maximizes what is important to me while
       minimizing the things that are important in a negative way.
       As Life would have it, it seems that things are perfectly
       balanced between what I really like and what I really hate ---
       if I deal with the cold, crowded pollute spaces, then I can get
       a job with a lot of money. I dont deal with the cold, crowded,
       polluted spaces, then I am faced with a much harder path to
       getting a lot of money.

       ALL importanes are negative , not just some . The vanishment of
       importance  is the vanishment of mental mass aka mental weight .

       "The exercises from Level 2 onwards tend to dissolve mental mass
       at an accelerating rate. Thus, the exercise is at variance with
       his compulsion to be surrounded by mass (importance). This is a
       very real dilemma, and there is only one final solution to it:
       The being must replace the old mass (importance) with mass of
       his own creation.
       In this way he can do the exercises which vanish the unwanted
       mental mass without compulsively pulling in around himself
       further unwanted mental masses to fill the vacuum so produced.
       In the final instance this is the only way that he will ever
       ‘let go of’ his mind. While he is in the frame of mind of
       needing importances, he will never permit one to vanish until he
       is assured that he can easily replace it with another.
       Early on the being is like a prisoner who has been incarcerated
       in a cell for all of his life. He has come to believe that he
       needs the walls of his prison, and if suddenly freed will demand
       to be locked up once more; failing this he will rush into the
       nearest room, slam the door after him, and hide. This mechanism
       is well known by prison authorities who have to deal with
       long-term prisoners; it is one of the hidden benefits of the
       parole system.
       Right now you are like such a long-term prisoner regarding your
       own mental mass. You’ve come to believe that you need it, and so
       will pull in round yourself more mental mass to replace that
       which the exercises causes to vanish.
       Thus, we have to repair the importance’s we vanish with
       self-generated importances or the being will soon get himself
       into a frightful mess. He will find himself in possession of
       highly persistent aches and pains he knows not what of, as well
       as a host of other unpleasant emotions and sensations. This
       mechanism, if not understood and allowed for, will sooner or
       later bring any psycho-therapy to a grinding halt. The
       researcher was thus led to believe that his therapy was of no
       use; when, in fact, it was working all too well..."

       it doesnt say anything about the opposites of importance , so
       you don't use opposites, you use importances and only
       importances as per the GM
       IF you consider warm weather important for the picnic you are
       attending in the park next weekend then no problem . GO ahead
       and use that as an importance.
       Mental mass is the importance you are vanishing with TB.  If its
       not replaced to the same degree that's being vanished , your
       progress will  come to a grinding halt.
       I like to use actual weight and importance at the same time. Not
       just touching walls or mental mass importance generation , but
       both Heavy weights and Mental importance 360 degrees around my
       body while having others do it too.
       I know what its like to not balance RI with L5 . Its a mental la
       la land where anything's possible . Not good.

       I concur that there are life-goals and non-life goals postulated
       importances, and both can be brought into existence as an
       effective repair exercise 360'd: whatever satiates the mind so
       one can continue on with session or life.  :D
       Doing RI by itself helps one resolve conundrums by bringing to
       the fore the beings' analytical faculties, temporarily quieting
       the mind entity.
       Dryfasting in my case does the same, and I can see why the
       generic 40 days dryfast was often a pre-requisite in ancient
       days for entry into a sect or university, or to be a Buddha or
       another Christ-like being.
       Always with the disclaimer that none of us ever really existed
       except that we said so  :D
