Introspection
— Second Week
Now, as you sit in self-study each evening, strive to move the film clip of your day
smoothly and fluently. Strive to see your entire day from early morning to the present
time within five to seven minutes! You do have the ability. It is possible. You can recall
vividly, and in detail, as you view an eighteen to twenty-four hour period. Mental time is
different from physical time. You’ll be amazed that you can, through practice,
develop the capacity to see a continuous sequence of your day rolling easily from one
event to another. You can observe the play of your thoughts as well as the events of your
activities in the outer world. Let the continuous sequence of your day pleasantly, and
sometimes unpleasantly, roll past your attention. Many insights and much contentment start
to occur as you develop this ability to observe yourself in a calm, objective way.Practice
this condensed, daily movie each day for a week, or take longer if you wish.
Some people have difficulty visualizing but it is still possible to practice
introspection by recalling the feelings, thoughts, the sounds of your day. Recall your
words and conversations. Remember the nonsense sounds, the machinery, all the sounds of
bustle and activity in their sequence. Recalling your day in a non-visual way will give
you the same benefits as if you were keenly visualizing the picture movie.
Next, move forward to the third week by...
