Very Useful to Review our Day
It is very useful to do a review of our daily life. It helps
us to keep up to date with what is happening within ourselves, psychologically
and esoterically. It also helps us to keep our work in order.
The Practice
This practice of reviewing our day is to check-in within
ourselves, to come home so to speak. When we do check-in with ourselves we see
our inner urgencies, and these are the things that we should tackle first.
Inner Urgencies
Our inner urgencies are usually things that we do not
understand about ourselves. They are usually egos that have a desire, a
complaint or protest within us that we do not understand.
When all of our forces are outside of ourselves, it is
difficult to check-in within ourselves and review our day.
What do we Find when we Check-in with Ourselves?
What do we find? Lust, pride, regret, unfulfilled desires,
the lament over the past, dread of the future.
Strong Desires
Some desires that are so strong that we think we may not be
able to resist. These strong desires produce division in us. We have such a
strong desire in the ego and a strong desire in the work on ourselves that we
get divided. If we decide for the work we feel that we are missing out on
something big and we feel regret, lament and some pain. Well it is the ego that
feels that pain.
Eternal Principle of the Work on Ourselves
The principle always stands, the work always makes us
happier, will fulfilling that desire make us happier? If that desire is lust,
it will not really make us happier will it? From previous experiences we ended
up crying, how can lust make us happier?
End (204).
