3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I spontaneously woke up at 4am this morning, the earliest time I'm prepared to get up. I did hit the sack at 10, and I only appeared to need 6 hours. 

Today offers a certain abundance of free time, and I intend not to spend it sat on my arse other than for a prolonged meditation. Plenty of fresh air in the garden beckons! 

Days where I don't need my brain for social interaction are precious opportunities to raise consciousness out of character. Particularly for a character that is more easily emotionally aroused than the character would prefer, it's pleasant to be Consciousness rather than "me". It's a golden opportunity to make advances toward the goal of Internal Silence, driven by intuition rather than thought. 

The character's ultimate preference would have been a character experience of blissful ignorance, but this was not its destiny. Born into a dysfunctional environment and deprived of approval, the character experience has been a nightmare at times. The only escape was to awaken. Once awakened, you cannot then un-awaken. You cannot forget that you are not the character you play. You can only relax, accept and simply be.

9. ZEN WISDOM
Each of us, no matter how weak or ineffectual we may feel ourselves to be, must build deep within our hearts a stronghold for peace, one that will be capable of withstanding and in the end silencing the incessant internal and external calls to war.
