Day 179 Assignment
This evening (or tomorrow morning):
Read NTI Luke 22 (v63-71) to the end of the chapter.

- 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.
- Pay attention to your mind in this way:

(b) What thoughts do you see that you are not willing to let go of? Notice those thoughts and say: This thought has no meaning in reality. By holding onto it, I limit myself to deficiency cognition, which is illusion.
