3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I'm particularly aware today of my potential to make a difference. Making a difference is my chosen life-purpose, and consequently abundant opportunity to do so has manifested. My role in my nuclear family is absolutely pivotal, and there are many others I can lift by my talents. The setbacks of this month, notably a prolonged cough and the collapse of my business venture, and big unexpected expenses on both children and energy bills, have not changed the fundamental direction of my life.

In an important new self-development, there has been a sharpening of awareness. Up to now my awareness has been centred within me, that is the role I am playing in this life experience. In the past few days it has shifted to the boundary between my internal experiences of myself and the external experiences of the universe. From this new vantage point, I can see the Physics of both regions playing out. The result is a much deeper and more profound acceptance of both, a delicious peace of mind and more power to affect both.

My next spiritual aim is to keep my awareness permanently in this blissful nexus, so I will be experimenting with techniques to stay foucused on this point.
