  Honest observation, without mental bias, is the first step.
• 0:06
  The mother outlines This is accomplished by setting up the
• 0:10
  ideal as a screen or filter against which to compare each
• 0:15
  action. Those that do not compare
• 0:18
  entirely favorably represent things that can be identified as
• 0:24
  subjects for the change process. The standpoint of the uninvolved
• 0:29
  witness of the nature. Does not have any obligation to
• 0:33
  intervene and many paths of yogic development that utilize
• 0:38
  this method Council non-intervention as a basis of
• 0:43
  achieving liberation. If the goal, however, is not
• 0:48
  Liberation, the transformation different criteria emerge and as
• 0:54
  a result at some point, intervention is required and
• 0:59
  becomes phase two of the process.
• 1:02
  Eventually the observational mode is able to identify
• 1:06
  specific areas of conflict, between different parts of the
• 1:10
  being, their various needs drives motives habits and
• 1:16
  directions, and begin to organize each of these elements
• 1:20
  around. The highest aspiration
• 1:22
  representing the purpose. The psychic being has as the
• 1:27
  life objective. The mother writes quote and I am
• 1:34
  so convinced that anybody who does it in that way with the
• 1:38
  same freshness and sincerity will obtain exhilarating
• 1:42
  results. To put all that on a screen in
• 1:46
  front of yourself and look at what is happening.
• 1:49
  And the first step is to know, all that is happening.
• 1:53
  And then you must not try to shut your eyes.
• 1:55
  When something does not appear Pleasant to you.
• 1:58
  You must keep them wide open and put each thing in that way.
• 2:02
  Before the screen, then you make quite an interesting discovery.
• 2:08
  And then the next step is to begin saying, since all that is
• 2:12
  happening within me, why should I not put this thing in this
• 2:16
  way? And then that thing in that way.
• 2:18
  And then there's other in this other way and thus, wouldn't I
• 2:23
  be doing something logical that has a meaning.
• 2:27
  Why should I not remove that thing?
• 2:28
  Which stands obstructing the way?
• 2:30
  These conflicting Wheels why and what does that represent in the
• 2:35
  being? Why is it there?
• 2:39
  If it were put there, what did not help instead of harming me
• 2:43
  and so on and little by little little by little you see
• 2:49
  clearer. And then you see why you are
• 2:52
  made like that. What is the thing you have got
• 2:55
  to do that for, which you were born and then quite naturally,
• 3:02
  since all is organized for this thing to come, the path becomes
• 3:06
  straight. And you can Beforehand.
• 3:10
  It is in this way that it will happen.
• 3:13
  And when things come from outside to try and upset, all
• 3:16
  that you are able to say, no, I accept this for it helps.
• 3:21
  I reject that for that harms, and then after a few years, you
• 3:28
  curb yourself, as you curb a horse, you do whatever you like
• 3:33
  in the way you like, and you go wherever you like, It seems to
• 3:39
  me this is worth the trouble, I believe it is the most
• 3:43
  interesting thing. End quote, reference SRI
