The “Middle Way” Memory Matrix Ritual
(Defining the Key and Playing The Fugue)
- “MIDDLE-WAY” refers to avoiding getting stuck in extremes of experience — or to getting unstuck. It doesn’t mean, adhering to a “center of moderation”.
- “MEMORY MATRIX” refers to the memory of related things charged with intention and refusal.
- “RITUAL” refers to a sequence of meaningful acts intended to generate a change of mind-state.
The Middle-Way Memory Matrix Ritual is a procedure to free ourselves from the traps of specific kinds of very difficult, very sticky, very obscure conditioning.
The Middle-Way Memory Matrix Ritual enables us to extricate ourselves and to escape from the influence of “strangely attractive” memories that shape our choices and our destiny without our understanding or even being aware of it. “Strangely attractive”, in this sense, refers to any experience that can captivate us, en-trance us, and entice, seduce, or guide us to a particular destiny.
This procedure works by comparing pairs of related experiences to each other, intending them and refusing them, in every possible combination. I know that sounds complicated. That’s why there’s a structured procedure to follow.
In the process, what has been obscure becomes obvious. What has been too subtle to distinguish becomes clear. What has been only fleetingly perceptible “holds still” for a good, solid look. That’s how it’s a “power contemplation” procedure.
The Pre-requisite for Doing The Middle-Way Memory Matrix Ritual
YOU ARE FIT AND READY TO DO THIS PROCEDURE when you are proficient at practicing The Gold Key Release to a successful result.
Without that proficiency, you will lack the familiarity with the experience
of release needed for The Memory Matrix
Ritual to do its work. You need to be familiar with the experience of release and no longer confuse release with “acting out”, suppression or repression. (Any description of “release” must remain vague and inadequate until you have directly experienced it.) Everyone with whom I have guided The Gold Key Release has succeeded in one or a few passes through, so its not difficult — it’s just a pre-requisite.
“When an obstruction … is recognized, the way to overcome it is to throw the weight of the imagination to the opposite side”.
- intending to experience something and refusing to experience it
- an item and its counterpart (examples follow)
according to Lawrence Gold
The Result of the Procedure
- SELF-KNOWLEDGE: recognition of your deeper, unconscious motivations related to something that’s a problem, an “item-of-interest”, or “project”, for you
- FREEDOM: dissolving the grip of those (now-conscious) motivations to such an extent that either:
- the item-of-interest has no “charge” (substantiality) left (it has lost cohesiveness, and now has the substantiality of smoke) or
- you’re unable to remember what it was without great effort
Burn-Off
After doing The Memory Matrix Ritual thoroughly on a pair of items, you may experience a period of intensification later in the day in which the item or items re-appear and you feel helpless to do anything about it. This experience (which I have called, “burnoff”) is temporary and generally resolves in a day or two. The helplessness is a sign that you were heavily identified with a way of perceiving and operating, and now that it is dissolving, your sense of yourself as do-er, in that space of life, is also dissolving. This dissolution marks a shift in your way of operating that allows new possibilities and new responses on your part to emerge. You need not do anything about burn-off; it will pass.

Identifying an Item-of-Interest: a strange attractor/type of entrapment— what you feel stuck with or stuck in
- Identifying an Opposing or a Contrasting Condition — a counterpart to the item-of-interest
- Preparing the item for Dissolution
- Starting Dissolution
- Dissolving Double-Binds
- Dissolving Pairs of Mutually-Creating but Unrecognized Conditioning

if we are trying to release the few from the grips of polarized conflict…just by realizing the sensed polarity could begin the liberation? example: when someone is talking – ask them to pause and consider the polarity of the statement and explore the opposing view. (since most of us do get rewarded for playing a brand identity, and all identities are purposeful) also, until a person has reached the realization of self deception, there is probably little or no motivation to clean up?
