3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Although far from perfected, my elimination of unnecessary thought is already making me feel a new man, lighter and easier-going. I am eagerly anticipating the bliss I will enjoy when my mind becomes continually silent and intuitively-driven. This quiet and purely internal breakthrough is more significant than any external event could be - peace at last and the end of suffering.

There is synchronicity between myself and Son as both his band and my business have gone quiet for different reasons. However this has freed us both up for both bonding and personal development.We are both focused and open to new opportunities as they appear over the Summer.
