Friday morning was spent distracted by pleasurable pursuits, but I can't find within myself a twang of guilt - I enjoyed myself immensely! Friday-Sunday are not days in which I'm overly focused on getting ahead anyway. However now I've got things out of my system (for now!
) I will am ready for a return to structure and order.

8. TRIVIA
Facebook is now a significant factor in apprehending criminals. Most of them are on Facebook and it makes it much easier to identify them. Many actually brag about their crimes on the platform.

9. ZEN WISDOM 
The transformation from a self-centered way of life to one dedicated to the well-being of others is the process of “human revolution.” This is a revolution that can start here, now—in the heart of every one of us.

3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION 

It feels like it's been a while since I've had the abundance of time that today offers. It's a golden opportunity for self-development, self-promotion and general consolidation, self-evaluation and planning. 


I'm particularly enjoying meditation at the moment - I got in two one-hour sessions yesterday. Meditation is not an optional extra for me but something essential to my mental health the equivalent of insulin to a diabetic. I'm not one of those who gets any great spiritual experiences during meditation - it's the benefits to my mind in general that provide the incentive. 

As this character is in the final third of its existence, it's time for consciousness to detach from it. The character will carry on not noticeably different, but consciousness will be intending and observing it rather than being it.
