THE DESIRE TO SEE IS LIKE THE DESIRE TO KNOW. It too requires a refinement of your mind’s faculties. To see with clear vision means you are not seeing with preference. It means that you are able to perceive that which is actually occurring rather than that which you wish to see. There is something actually occurring beyond your wishes. This is very true. The desire to see, then, is the desire to see a greater truth. This requires a greater honesty and a greater openness of mind.
TODAY IN YOUR TWO PRACTICE SESSIONS, practice looking upon one simple mundane object. Do not take your eyes off of that object, but look and practice looking very conscientiously. You are not trying to see anything. You are simply looking with an open mind. When the mind is open, it experiences its own depth, and it experiences the depth of what it is perceiving.
CHOOSE ONE SIMPLE OBJECT THAT HAS VERY LITTLE MEANING for you and gaze upon it twice today for at least 15 minutes. Allow your mind to become very still. Breathe deeply and regularly as you gaze upon this object. Allow your mind to settle down into itself.
Practice 19: Two 15-minute practice periods.
General Perspective
While practice #19 revealed a really great Idea to me, from my perspective that is, it also brought to my Attention that I am still fearful of the judgement of others. I still limit my experience in Life by what other people think and say about who I am.
That is something that I've always thought and said that I do not care about, but a detailed analysis of what I am doing and what I am not doing revealed that I still do give a shit about what people say and thing that I should or shouldn't do with my Life. Which is bad.
PRACTICE
(03-05-06/01/2018) (6:17 PM - 12:44 AM - 8:20 PM)
#1 - While I was gazing at the object of choice, a lighten candle, I had many thoughts passing through my Mind and distracting my Focus from looking at the candle, just like in Meditation.
One Great Idea that passed through my Mind during this practice was to start an daily Live Meditation on my youtube channel, so that I discipline myself into doing everyday, but also working on the channell, and also spreading Awareness about Meditation.
