3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With the heightened awareness thought-management has brought me, in brief lapses of concentration I get reminded how bad for me unnecessary thought has been, the two main symptoms being distress and paralysis. Uncontrolled thought leads you away from where you want to be and what you want to do, resulting in lost time and opportunity, as well as a body out of balance.

With my awareness freed up, I can simply enjoy playing my character and enjoy the absorbing entertainment of seeing what happens next.

When I am quiet enough, I can feel the energy generated by consciousness itself. Though always there, most folks just don't get quiet enough to sense it - but I can! The best way to describe it is as a "hum". Focus upon it, and it acts like an electric massager, deeply soothing and relaxing. With enough meditation, you can feel it for yourself!

9. THE WISDOM I'VE LEARNED FROM OTHERS
"If you cling to an idea as the inalterable truth, then when the truth does come in person and knock at your door, you will not be able to open the door and accept it." - Udana Sutta
