3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
What I have realized is that unwanted reactions to stimuli will inevitably occur, and the objective is not to eliminate them but be detached from them - when your consciousness is detached, the reactions simply exist but don't cause consequences - you don't get "lost" in them.
I'd like to claim that by will alone I have brought this about, but the reality is that my circumstances have now been benevolent for long enough to allow super-consciousness to develop. I will need continued benevolent circumstances to expand it to being the perpetual mental state.
4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Are you making clear progress in self-development?
