Day 174 Assignment
This evening (or tomorrow morning):
- Review How Your Mind Distorts Reality from 5:00 minutes to 10:55 minutes.
- Read NTI Luke 20 (v20-26) to the end of the chapter.
Tomorrow:
- Set a timer for 15-30 minutes and practice observing your cognition. Notice the new instructions below:
- Select someone or something that you love.
- 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.
- Attempt to simply be with that person or thing instead of projecting your false sense of self onto it/him/her. When you notice that you are projecting onto it (or him/her), (1) notice the projection, (2) become the superconductor with the projection, and then (3) return to simply being with it (or him/her).
- Continue to do this for the entire practice period.
- 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, say this to yourself: I am willing to simply be instead of judging with my preferences and concepts, because being is God’s gift; preferences and concepts are what I added to God’s gift.
- Take two 5-minute breaks to sit quietly, simply be and notice your beingness.
Sometime this weekend:
