Vital interest

From Mountain climbing tape 21

Vital interest, exhilaration, and so forth are dependent on one's efforts and intentions.


From Newport Beach '80

Vital interest is when the person is consciously decided to be truly interested in something - picked up their own inner state and was in charge.

From Port Orange

Vital interest the person is fine,  they can't wait to get up in the morning and go do whatever it is they want to do, whatever they're interested in, and they feel good, look good, and in a pretty viable state of being. So if you're in Vital interest, your doing fine, don't even need to be here at the workshop, ok?

(more from P.O)

Now, the way this works is .... first thing, you think how would you like to feel. You kind of know that don't you? You don't have to think to long on that. So I would like to feel vitally interested and at peace with the world, is that all right? So you think that. Then you would ask yourself, "How would I act if I already felt this way?"

Well you don't feel that way! But how would act if felt that way? You would be interested. You'd have a smile on your face. You'd stand up erect, walk around like you knew what you were doing and so forth. So you begin to act that way. You would put on an act after thinking. It's purely an act, a "put on' if you please. And in very short order you will begin to feel that way, it usually takes about 30 minutes of acting and you will begin to feel vitally interested.
