After above exercises lay down for complete relaxation 11:45. Objective finally still: found myself by solid high grey stone wall, large gate through which I could not see, rounded top, Gothic style though not pointed and placed iron key in lock. This interested me so much, became active and lost all

However, not willed.

Dharana. Beginning poor and ended by observing spot where square should have been.

Asana. Good physical. Mental good in spots.
