The “C” Drop
This is one of the few things I borrow from Traditional Psychology and believe me when I say that the tools I borrow are few and far between.
The “C” Drop is how we grow.
See Image.
This is how we grow. Every time. A to B is the point of increased Challenge as we go from feeling Invincible to Challenged.. The closer to “B” the more “challenging” things get, and it always, ALWAYS precedes the Drop into “C.”
“C” is what most people are very familiar with and don’t know it.
C is where despair happens.
C is where Depression happens.
C is where “trial by fire” happens.
C is where Suicide happens.
“C” for Comfort Zone. Remember that. When you reach a “C” drop, you need Comfort. D/A to B is your “Adventure Zone. Becoming aware of your “C” Drops and when they are approaching will go a long way to help you Self-Regulate and Manage yourself.
The goal is to have the tools to get yourself through “C” so you can jump up to “D.” D is always better than “B.” C can be a few days, a few hours, a few weeks… longer. It depends solely on your ability to Self-Regulate the 1st and the 2nd Ethics of the Ethical Perspective Stages, which I will be covering with you.
People battling Addictions, Eating Disorders, and Self-Mutilation will find this knowledge very helpful as they can better navigate their “C” drop and self-regulate with the 1st and 2nd Perspectives so you can overcome the Control-Panic Impulse/Urge while you also work through your Logical Fallacies, which are the root to the problem.
Now, let’s look at that graph again.
I want you to take note of the line and the Roman Numerals I, II, and III.
Imagine that this Line indicates your “Darkness.” A lot of people who live without a Mental Health plan and/or who struggle with Trauma and Abuse live below the line in the “Darkness.”
This is vital for you to understand.
There will be a point where you will heal and your “D” spike will put you ABOVE the Darkness line. You will “think” you are healed. But then you will hit the “C” drop (see II) and the Darkness will come back. A lot of people quit therapy at this point.
A lot of people “regress” at this point and they don’t know why. This is why.
But, after the next “D” spike, you are above and (in some cases) you stay above the “Darkness” line. Even when you hit your next “C” Drop (See III), you stay above the “Darkness” line.
I remember this day very vividly for me. It is still one of my solid “Victory Days.” The first time I dropped into my “C” drop and I did not drop back into the Darkness. Oh, I celebrated. Healing is not linear. Remember that. Long after you are healed, you will still continue to heal like this. Up and Up and Up. Always. Once you find your “groove,” you will see how very much days just keep getting better and better for you.
It is a skill. It requires tools. It requires practice. The best part? The skills I teach you in this book, tap into the Natural parts of your Subconscious Mind that is your Self-Preservation, Logical Comprehension, Naturally Learning Cycle, and Mirroring / Law of Reflection.
Now… There are layers and Levels of Darkness. I have been through them all. Every one of them. I had about five levels to get through. We are so excited to “See the Light” that we are euphoric that we are “Out” not realizing that we just broke through the “Second Level.”
We adapt. We acclimate to the next “Level,” and then we climb some more. We have no point of reference.
You are out when, within 30 days after a “C” drop, you can breathe deep during meditation, and you descend into the Abstract Dimensions, and no shadows are there at all to greet you. When you live 60+ Days with NO FEAR. You are CONFIDENT in who and what you are.
When you are Aligned with your Ethical Perspective. When your AIDNS can go 60 days without a single “adjustment.”
There are no “hidden” nagging weights in your chest. Your Logical Line is clean, clear, pure, and purring. Your Identity is solid and Defined. You know WHO you are. You know that you are WHERE you are supposed to be. You know WHERE you are going. And you know WHY you live. You know that whatever comes your way, you will overcome it and it won’t shake you or nudge you.
And you KNOW this. And the Calm that permeates your life is so deep in you that you live in a permanent pool of peace. You are oblivious to the positions of the planets, moon, and stars because you are so aligned with Physics, your Frequency, Logic, and Mathematics that you are part of the Mathematical Equation that is this Giant Clock we live in.
You are no longer a loose cog in the clog.
