3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION 
A minor altercation that I had on Friday at the Weekend Job is proving difficult to detach from! A big positive though is that I no longer inflict such things on my loved ones - they remain ignorant of the affair. Nonetheless, it's time for the therapist to heal himself! Firstly, as all my clients have to do with their own issues, there has to be an admission that my conscious mind is not coping! 

Unlike my new clients however, I have deeper resources to draw on! With conscious techniques not working this time, I have given the matter over to my deeper subconscious self. That has proved to be the positive about the incident. It has been a longstanding and ongoing intention to live intuitively, and I have realized that this requires a belief in the mental processes that take place below the conscious level. 

The conscious act that facilitates this is to allow your ego to be "taken over" by something that can't be fully described, summarized or summed-up. I could not have done this without my Christian experience, which taught me the power of belief, which in science is the anomaly of the Placebo Effect. I think that what New Age types call the Higher Self is more accurately the Deeper Self. It's time to let the Deeper Self run the show! As it happens, I recently came across a handy mantra to reinforce this: ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE BREATHED

9. ZEN WISDOM
Hope transforms pessimism into optimism. Hope is invincible. Hope changes everything. It changes winter into summer, darkness into dawn, descent into ascent, barrenness into creativity, agony into joy. Hope is the sun. It is light. It is passion. It is the fundamental force for life’s blossoming.
