3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Things are settling down after the fateful events of Sunday evening and I'm moving into a new phase. own, I am hated. From my studies, I see that there are plenty of noble and decent people who were hated too. I have concluded that anyone who makes any kind of stand will be hated, and it is an important life-experience in pefecting wisdom and understanding.

I have come to an acceptance of the fact that by a few individuals, known and unknown, I am hated. From my studies, I see that there are plenty of noble and decent people who were hated too. I have concluded that anyone who makes a mistake or takes any kind of stand will be hated, and it is an important life-experience in pefecting wisdom and understanding.

It is a time for fresh initiatives, including writing a new book, ENLIGHTENMENT FOR ORDINARY FOLK, a clearout of clutter, a tightening of personal discipline, focusing on my objectives, and seizing opportunities to bring them nearer.

Being an early riser, at around 5 - 6 am, and Son and missus not doing mornings in August, I have had an embarrassment of riches in me time, which I have thoroughly enjoyed in pointless self-indulgence. I do not regret a moment of it! However, in order to fulfil my life-objectives, I need to begin reining it in a little and invest in other more productive pursuits. 

Ultimately, I see my life experience as the Universe having a fun game. Whilst continuing to have fun, to maximize this temporary opportunity, it's necessary to have some structure and direction so that the universe might know itself deeper.
