Generally this first week plus has brought in increased energy and stability. I feel calm and I seem to go about the day in a more aware, regal manner.

It seems I have the time to do anything I really need rather than always feeling rushed and behind. Is this coming from greater contact with that ‘mysterious force’ ? Or are these effects more a superficial function of a certain area of focus ? I do not know for sure, but I look forward to coming changes and benefits.

I find I enjoy doing the readings and speakings. I can see how I could do this often and make a habit of this process, as The Greatest Salesman suggests. I enjoy it because my mind seems quieter and more balanced when I do the reading or speaking, and I feel more inner energy when doing so.

I had a very strong opportunity to realize the strength and veracity of important points of the teaching. I watched an adventurous TV show just before doing my readings before bed one evening. I woke up in the middle of the night with that TV show playing out strongly in my mind.

Mark has explained how a person has no defence against a story. That they want to see its ending and really want to be the hero of that journey. This particular TV show raised a very big question about the hero. The question was even in the title of the show. “Who is Erin Carter”.

I shouldn’t’ have been watching so close to my bedtime and its questionable if I should have even been watching TV at all. It doesn’t progress by DMP, although it does create some temporary harmony within my family by watching together.

I had another experience like this where I learned the hard way. One evening I was very tired because I had been in a long meeting that day. I was just too exhausted to do any readings. It seemed I was so dull and tired that nothing would have entered my mind at all. Conscious or unconscious.

Anyway I woke up the next morning NOT feeling as good or happy or focused as many other mornings. Just one sesseion missed and I felt the difference!

I look forward to week three!
