3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
My ability to get stuff done was crippled by being rather sleepy yesterday - I had to have an early-evening nap and felt much better for it. I slept like a baby last night and could easily go back to sleep now! I'm not sure where this came from, but it's making me naturally sedated, pleasantly calm and relaxed. I will roll with it and have a prolonged meditation in the afternoon.

I feel like I am in posession of life's greatest prize - peace of mind. There is no inner conflict at all! Life has been noticably simpler and easier since I started taking my "orders" from my intuition rather than my thoughts. Whereas thoughts are random, and it takes time to figure out which to follow, your intuition is decisive and direct. My thoughts are observed rather than internally discussed, debated and responded to.

A consequence of this has been that there is a lot less of them. For increasingly long periods, my mind is utterly silent. Within that silence, there is a wonderful truly blissful experience of being - it's something that's there all the time inside everyone but few ever feel because of all the internal noise. It is the ultimate feeling, in which there is nothing remaing to want.
