Master Key System Part Two
Last week I finished part one. That part of the book mostly dealt with what it terms "The World Within" and "The World Without". The assignment was to sit still for 15-30 minutes and let your thoughts roam. I found this an easy, relaxing type of meditation as usually meditations come with some sort of thought-control type instructions.
This week deals with the conscious mind and the subconscious mind; and the assignment is closer to the type of meditation I am used to. For "several minutes" a day this week I will be sitting in stillness, but instead of letting my thoughts roam, the goal is to control and inhibit any conscious thought. The book doesn't give a time limit for this one, like last week's 15-30 minutes. I am going to try for 10-15 minutes each day.
