D25 UHV III Batch 7 Common Problems in Exercise 1 (Step 1) 2023 04 23 English

Chapters
00:00:00 Practice session recap- Exercise 1 Step1 Common problem: Attention goes outside
00:07:15 Observation throughout the day whenever we are aware
00:09:02 Random thoughts observed but no opposition
00:10:28 Common problem: Trying to see the self by the body  
00:16:44 Common problem: Feeling is not clear
00:18:43 Attention drifts and it seems like slow thoughts 
00:37:18 While observing are we supposed to focus on breaths?   
00:40:14 While I am thinking and selecting something is it internal dialogue?

For Self-reflection:
1.Try and pay attention to your imagination as often as you can throughout the day. Eventually we want to be able to observe the imagination all the time - every moment. 
Let the imagination drift wherever it drifts.
2. Do not try to direct yourself to think particular types of thoughts. Do not consciously decide what to think. Let the imagination keep going as is- just stay with the decision to observe it. 
3. There was discussion about ensuring right understanding in the family members which might seem difficult at the moment. Three things have come out on this issue through earlier discussion too:
a. I accept the family as it is with the present level of competence of the family members (accepting my participation too being responsible for the current state)
b.  I work sincerely to develop my own competence and start participating to develop competence in the family members (developing right understanding and right feeling through a process of dialogue)
c. I now see the whole world as my family and participate to work for universal human order (not limiting the extent of my family to a few selected people)
Through this process, I am in harmony within, and gradually able to ensure harmony around me.

Note down your observations and we can discuss them tomorrow morning
