Be Aware Through The Day

GO THROUGH YOUR DAY WIDE AWAKE

     Practice this one simple exercise in your own way, so that you do give yourself a jolt, which is the revelation that if you think intelligently toward your problem, that intelligence has a tendency to want to grow, to expand, become more powerful, and that’s exactly what it will do.
     One of the beauties of the spiritual path is for you daily, not weekly, to go through your day wide awake. Other people don’t know it. Gentlemen, you work among all those other men — they don’t know that you picked up that tool box and carried it consciously from your car to the building where you work, but you knew it.
     Every day you will see yourself living in this secret, silent enormously healing atmosphere that you have admitted inside yourself. Now, that gives you the inner happiness, the light and the freedom. This world was made for you to enjoy.

SEE THROUGH FALSE STRENGTH

     This exercise is to see through false strength. On top of a piece of paper write False Strength, then number them and keep each point short. Your first point might be, I suspect that one of my false strengths is trying to please someone in a short conversation by saying the right thing. Point two, I suspect that one of my fakeries is dressing a certain way that would create a favorable impression on me. Go on as long as you want. The good news is: Seeing through false strength is what eventually enables you to see what true strength is.

BE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN NEGATIVITIES

     At the exact moment of the appearance of an egotistical thought, a fierce hateful feeling, at that precise moment you must want to be more intelligent than it is. You can’t run away, you can’t excuse it, you can’t lie and most of all you can’t enjoy it.
