Goal: to be able to behold as much as possible (what am I saying as much as possible, I mean ALL). 

Distractions: mean that you cannot behold more than one thing at a time, since to be distracted there must be something that you are being distracted from, and therefore something you are not beholding.

Sinful desire, uneasiness, are symptoms of being distracted from a certain truth (one that you are not beholding).

Exercise: is not to give in to distractions; if anything, this ever-shortens the time span between behelds, but behold something for as long as possible.  Now I know how this exercise improves our length of beholding (in terms of time), but how does it improve the beholding?

One can realize that even the smallest point that can be beheld has infinity in itself (how can I use this fact?),

So what is it that I want to see? What is my end?

I want to see everything how it REALLY is, outside of my emotional picture.  But what is it really?  Remember that even if one looks outside their emotional picture their emotions are still in the picture… an outside perspective.

Very important observation I made that day on the way to the library.  That when I took my eyes off of the outside of the cage, I saw how open the inside was

So if I am supposed to enhance reality with my imaginations rather than weaken it… whats all this poppycock about focusing on your breathing? The breathin is ignoring everything else? Because other objects have power to distract? So just like the lift of a finger can make you forget about your breathing, make sure that breathing is not ignored, or that you aren’t distracted from it for the sake of another “reality”.

Notice: thoughts and reflection must only be excluded because they distract you from reality.

So how does one begin to grow their focus? By loving what you see?

Snapping out into the real, when does one begin to realize truths? 

What I remember from the first experience is that I had to give stuff up.  One has to be willing to give up EVERYTHING in order to get here.  But I find myself ready to give up everything but yet, nothing happens.  What am I supposed to get? What am I expecting?  What am I giving up everything for?  Well whatever it is, I would have to give that up as well…

(this explains the unjustified existence method).

This is all leading to the principles I began with, I have already been through this; new plot, no doubt about that… but same setup.  But “new plot/same setup” says that the plot may be the same after all.

All these thoughts and impressions I think that the newness is only that they are becoming more real.  The goal may be to insert them in the present, but since the present may be just another form of vanity (I agree) my end goal may be to center and behold them all in my soul?  But where is this “soul” and how do I get access to it.   (fuck, I feel like I am going in circles).

I have written all of this before, I feel like I am going back to it, only in another level.

Negativity happens in oneself, when they are not able to see how something fits in with the rest of the plan.  How do you see this? Well you have to see it… and the plan… to go there by adjusting my perspective in such a way.  And this adjustment must be done instantly easily and continuously, so that it is not even an adjustment, it’s just there.  Then will I manage to see the world with perfect balance.  Now the only problem is that I don’t know how the hell I will accomplish any of this.
