"Aye/Nay" aim – (All else is vanity)

For one full week, (except at work), you must only use the words, yes or no. You may ask no questions nor engage in idle chatter.

Do three invisible acts of kindness towards others. Self observe results internally (especially inner talking) as well as externally.

Place constant awareness into soles of feet as well as the crown of your head. Become virtual lines of the cross within. Self observe results.

List at length your self-observations concerning your five inner sensations. How can you increase and purify these five inner senses from their present state?

When alone, dance/improvise in your body, identification with the following states: anger, hatred, contempt, detachment.

Walk backwards. Self observe how center of gravity shifts to back.

List at length when internal/external forms of impressions as well as situations which put you to sleep and which ones help you to stay awake.

Take one commentary/Work book chapter:

Read it for one hour for the first day

Read the same one for 2 hours on the second day

Read the same one for 3 hours on the third day

Keep a journal of all self-observations/principles concerning yourself in all centers. Self observe the endless subjective levels of meaning contained within the commentary itself.
