1. Silence and quietness
Everybody is like this ball: complete
- round - alone - separated
- but it sounds.
You can listen to yourself when
you are quiet and silent.
i.e. there is no movement nor any
noise in your mind that disturbs you
2. Listen to yourself, look into yourself,
touch your heart and find the middle of yourself.
What does it look like?
How does it sound?
How does it feel?
3. When you have come to silence and
quietness
when no sound nor movement outside
can disturb you any longer, please come here and fetch your next task::
It’s a sheet of paper.

hear or feel yourself at this moment )

but you are connected with everybody
in the universe.
