Day 173 Assignment
This evening (or tomorrow morning):
- Review How Your Mind Distorts Reality from 1:00:20 to 1:06:05.
- Read NTI Luke 20 (v1-8) thru (v9-19).
Tomorrow:
- Set a timer for 15-30 minutes and practice observing your cognition in this way:
- Select someone or something that is a problem in your life.
- Start the timer and hold to the image of that person or thing in your mind, or if you can, look at that person or thing or look at a picture of that person or thing. Continue to look at it in your mind or in actuality for the entire practice period.
- During the practice period, notice what this person or thing means for you.
- Continue to do this for the entire practice period. You are simply noticing what you have projected onto the person or thing. There is nothing else to do during this practice session.
- If you want to, follow this practice with an optional ‘Do Nothing’ meditation.
- Whenever you are upset to any degree, look to see what you wanted from the situation. After looking to see what you wanted from the situation, say this to yourself: I am willing to see clearly, without seeing through a false perception of myself and without seeing through a self-agenda.
- Take two 5-minute breaks to sit quietly and feel your willingness to see with true perception, which is being perception.
