3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
With the situation of this character so benign, I am free to focus on self-development. The most important of these is raising consciousness - to achieve the aim of a silent intuitively led mind. With a mind so completely emptied, there will be plenty of room for acquiring new knowledge and wisdom which I can then pass on to the next generation.
The prevailing attitude is gratitude, the prevailing feelings are peace and relief
