3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
To my disappointment, Daughter finally got in touch with Missus. No apology or admission of guilt of course, which is intrinsic to her issues, just lame excuses for her behaviour - but at least she was apparently civil. She did state an intention to scale back her contact with Missus, which is also some consolation, as there will be less opportunities to threaten Missus wellbeing with her aggressive narcissistic behaviour, and consequently less opportunity for her to blight my character's life-experience.

With the Daughter issue settling down it can retreat back to the fringe of my awareness and I can focus back on my prime objective - making a difference with my character whist experiencing it from the point of universal consciousness. It is a clear sense of purpose rather than the absence of challenges or conflict that has brought me life's ultimate prize - peace of mind. The bliss is wonderful!

Once I have mastered the ability to entrust my character 100% to intuition, the Bliss will be continuous and permanent - true Nirvana.

8. TRIVIA
The average temperature of Saturn is -178° C. While there are some temperature differences between poles and the equator, most of the differences occur horizontally. This is because Saturn’s heat (which can reach up to 11,700° C near the core) does not come from the Sun, but from its interior. 

9. ZEN WISDOM 
No matter how just the cause or in whose name it is wielded, the use of force inscribes bitterness in the hearts of the next generation and risks entrenching and perpetuating conflict.
