“One of the first things you learn when come here is how subjected you are to your personality or programming.  An example of AA group members comes to mind – one little slip will take someone right back into their addiction.  And with us, it is the same.  One little slip will take us back into our story, into our programming.  If you see how easy is to slip back, you can see the conditions that have to be in play in order to avoid it.  But if you don’t see how easy it is to fall back, you won’t even see how far back it can take That is why, like with AA, at The White Cloud Sanctuary everyone works together and helps one another as a committed group. When you come here, what you can do is take advantage of the whole set-up, enter theyou.   state of Presence which is outside personality, and from there “download” information about how things are.  At the same time, in a focused mode, you build a character in that open energy (literally come alive in a different area of the brain) that understands this predicament of having lived confined your whole life by ego.  In order for you to have a new matrix to live and move from that operates outside of your persona, certain conditions have to be present.  And this is the aim of the Sanctuary: to create the conditions to be able to live and develop in consciousness. ”Andrea, August 2006
