Our eCourses focus on specific topics, building your understanding through a series of related talks. Most eCourses include MP3 audio and MP4 video formats you can play online.
Exercise: Make it your intention to observe the 'wants' that push you to rush, blame, etc. By producing a pause before you act, you will bring an awareness of the 'wanter' into the moment and will see the need to die to that self.
Exercise: Catch yourself about to go on your favorite 'ride' of anger, jealousy, impatience, etc. and choose to learn about it rather than give yourself over to it.
Exercise: Listen for what starts talking to you when you feel the contraction of pain and then say, 'Oh no you don't!' See that the pain is trying to show you what you've been living under, and then work to have a new relationship with the pain. Your willingness to bring the pain out of concealment and into the light places it under divine government.
Exercise: When you start to feel a reaction, come to a dead stop. Let nothing convince you that you have something more important to do. Be an observer of the reaction instead of being carried away by the negative state and sense of self it produces.
Exercise: The awakening person realizes that any psychological pain they feel is the touch of something greater that is inviting a rebirth. See how many times you can catch an old self that wants to continue itself and 'make the exchange' by allowing what is unconscious in you to be made conscious.
Exercise: Catch 'Little I' when it starts talking to you. 'Leave the room' of your noisy thoughts that are giving you a big sense of self, and deliberately go into stillness, where you can have direct communication with Truth.
Exercise: Anytime you hear thoughts that try to convince you how to get yourself out of the frying pan, realize that all they're able to do is lead you into the fire. Make your own list of what these 'false guides' are telling you to try to get you to go along with them.
Exercise: When you feel resistance against an unwanted moment, don't try to escape the state but work to explore it instead. Don't run from resistance by quitting on your interior watchfulness and taking the easy way through whatever solution your mind offers you outwardly.
Exercise: Don't let yourself be carried away by a reaction. Catch the part of you that agrees to go with it, and then withhold your agreement in favor of being still.
Exercise: Connect your experience of the moment with what's telling you the meaning of it. When you're fully present, nothing can tell you the meaning of the moment because you are the meaning and fulfillment of the moment.
Exercise: Sacrifice any self-consoling negative reactions that come to lift you in difficult moments, and allow the transformation of the nature that needed to be lifted in the first place.
