3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
I'm
very pleased with my progress on Total Internal Silence, and when
focused I can do it at will. The challenge now is to be continually
focused! As my skill increases, I expect the length of time internally
silent to expand. The feeling is oddly pleasant! I can feel my mind processing sensory input but it's wordless - no internal discussion or debate - I just kinda get on with things.
This
is a very significant breakthrough and has taken me several years to
achieve. Through persistence I have successfully re-trained my mind to
process data at the subconscious level. This has profound implications
for my health and wellbeing, as it stops negative thought and memory
getting access to my attention and therefore my endocrine (hormonal)
system.
This
will also mean I cope much better with regular minor adversities,
particularly unreliable public transport and electronics, which have
caused me to completely "lose it" in the past. I have had a good "test"
in the past 12 hours with firstly a TV reception problem upstairs last
night and a faltering internet connection this morning. I have been cool
as a cucumber!
I
would love to share this wonderful discovery but it's like telling
people you've spoken with an alien. However this does not distress me.
My training tells me I need only be concerned with my own
self-development, and that will attract those destined to seek
self-development themselves.
4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU

9. ZEN WISDOM
Just as a diamond can only be polished by another diamond, it is only
through genuine, all-out engagement with others that people can polish
their character, and help each other to reach greater heights.
