Diary Entry
Friday, 20 August 1920
A.M. |
|
|
6:05 - 25 |
|
ASANA, thunderbolt. |
6:25 - 45 |
|
DHARANA, yellow square.
Why this docility of mind? It
wanders, of course, but comes back meekly enough.
At some time between these
exercises and those of last night I got a more
complete realization of mind is an instrument. |
6:50 - 7:12 |
|
HARPOCRATES.
Was seized with repugnance for
this at start; broke through this feeling once, only
to have it return again. |
|
|
|
P.M. |
|
|
12:00 |
|
Full capsule of Grass. |
1:05 |
|
A feeling of heaviness in
nerves of arms; slight drowsiness. Lay down but
would not permit sleep. |
1:23 |
|
Sensation on chin: thought my
finger was resting there, but no. |
1:26 |
|
Feeling as though ankles were
crossed; but no, lying side by side as I was on my
back. Was almost asleep when I noticed this, and
therefore willed myself awake.
After this followed visions of
people, country scenes, mountain and one or two
marine views—all in monotone of a silver screen.
After this I slept. |
10:05 - 25 |
|
ASANA, thunderbolt. |
10:25 - 45 |
|
DHARANA, yellow square.
Negative; both very tedious. |
10:45 - 11:05 |
|
HARPOCRATES.
Was tempted several times to
abandon Babe and follow California method of still
pool of Space. |
