9/2/09 Set
some fixture in daily life (an object, place or passageway) as a
reminder to shake yourself from your sleep. Then when ever you pass
that fixture, wake up.
8/26/09 Discover false knowledge that is blocking the way of True Knowledge.
8/20/09 Examine
how you learn. When you learn something new, examine its origin and
epoch. Did the knowledge come by way of another person or by self
insight?
8/13/09 Discover
prejudice by seeing how you judge people you do not like for making the
same error as people you do happen to like. See how you twist the
circumstances in your mind as to not appear the hypocrite. This will
show you three false images you maintain.
8/6/09 Whenever
you feel angry, find the fear that causes it. Examine the fear to see
how unnecessary it truly is. Both will then leave you...if you truly
want them to.
7/22/2009 Find
something about yourself that you don't understand and investigate it.
Look not for justification or blame, but to the real nature of why it
is the way it is.
7/9/09 Identify
each worry and connect it back to the corresponding false notion of
security that causes it. For example if you are insecure, it is only
because you have a grandiose image of yourself which is not being
affirmed. If you feel as though you don't have enough money, it is
because you are convinced you deserve more, etc.
6/17/09 Pay
attention to how you filter what you hear from any individual through
the opinion you have of them. See the fact that the same words coming
form an entirely different person would have a different meaning to
you. This proves that you are not hearing the words in their pure
form- you are hearing them through your own prejudicial filter.
6/11/09 Get to
the truth about your pain including anger, self pity and confusion.
See that you hold onto it for one reason, you actually get a thrill
from it. Identify the actual pleasure you get out of those emotions.
Only when you see it, can you let go of it.
5/30/09 Identify
when a thought or memory is attached to a physical sense such as taste,
smell or sounds. Clearly see the connection between the two.
5/16/09 Find
joy in realizing that you do not know something that you have thus far
been convinced you had known. This opens up the wonderful possibility
to really know what it is that you had only thought you had known.
5/9/09 Take
the action of inaction. In some case where you feel you MUST act,
simply do not. Pay close attention to what happens when you do this.
4/29/09 Find
a false freedom. A false freedom is something that you think is a
freedom which is really a prison. For example, someone may say "I can
speak my mind whenever I choose," but are really trapped by maintaining
the identity that they are a person who always speaks their mind.
4/22/09 Through
awareness, identify an emotional or security "need" which is really
just a "want" and live without it. See it through to the end, meaning,
until you learn that you don't really need it.
4/17/09 During an activity by which you are captivated, such as watching television, games or listening to music, snap yourself back to reality quickly by looking around you and seeing where you are physically. Pay close attention to how your mind reacts to such a change and how it feels to be aware vs. asleep.
4/10/09 Live at least one entire day without your watch or looking at clocks. Do what comes next without regard for time. When you are hungry-eat, tired-sleep, etc. Make no time sensitive plans or appointments that affect others.
4/6/09 In any personal reflection you might have, ask yourself "who is being thought about?" Or in other words, when you think about you, attempt to define the subject of that thought.
3/26/09 When you make a judgment about your own actions/thoughts, find the position from which the judgment is made. In other words, if you do a regrettable thing, determine who or what you believe you are that you should not make such an error.
3/18/09 Find as many instances where you think you are creating happiness, but are really creating pain...or instances where you think you are helping, but are truly hurting.
3/10/09 Identify the Ego's motivation in beginning any conversation with another person.
