3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
"Holiday at home" proceeds blissfully! Everyone is happy, and in the benevolent atmosphere of home, it's easy to live intuitively. My ultimate goal is to entirely eliminate internal thought as the means by which I experience life, replacing it completely with intuition. There are numerous benefits to wellbeing:
1. The mind becomes silent in normal mode, eliminating internal conflict and promoting unity and harmony within the body and mind, and between the two.
2. Decision-making is faster and better.
3. Awareness is expanded, making life a richer more fulfilling experience.

I am not for a minute underrating the power and importance of thought. On the contrary, I am refining its power by focusing it entirely upon problem-solving and creativity. Rather than thought "running amok" and generating dark emotions out of context, undermining wellbeing, its use is becoming entirely positive.

Mental effort and discipline is required for this, as this state of mind is not the "default" behaviour. It requires continual focus in the form of submission to my intuition and perpetual conscious awareness.

I am on the cusp of a new attitude to others. When one first gains insight on the path to enlightenment, one experiences frustration and exasperation at the general willful ignorance of the majority of mankind. Eventually, as one gains more insight, you can see that it is all simply the consequence of Physics, and rather than be continually exasperated at others, who cannot see and therefore do not realize, there is a general acceptance and a gratitude at being awakened, with which one can wield to make a fulfilling difference. 

My role is not evangelical, to convert the ignorant, but to be a signpost for those who wish to see. If just one other is made happy by the difference I have made, and another enlightened by the wisdom I have passed on, my life is fulfilled.
