The exercises are planned to help you generalize the lessons so that you will understand that each of them is equally applicable to everyone and everything you see.

Anywhere.

The eyes should move from one thing to another fairly rapidly,

Since they should not linger on anything in particular.

On concluding the exercises,

Close your eyes and repeat the idea once more,

Slowly,

To yourself.

Let's practice again.

Look about.

Repeat to yourself.

Repeat in your mind,

My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Herein lies the peace of God.
