Tried to make egg flat like square, succeeded.

Concentration not forced, mind relaxed and flowing, I contacted another spot! Were my head severed near base of skull, would say it was that end of spinal cord left exposed.

Italian lesson.

PRANAYAMA in Asana.

Now plan to make this and Italian a part of my morning work, that is, before 10.

P.M.

Top of head paining, off and on, for possibly 2 hours.

Noticed that during this, lower part of head seemed clearer.

6 mins Pranayama in asana.

Several days now of a resting on my oars, floating with the tide, sans emotion, sans desire, sans everything. Note a changed mental attitude also, possibly best described as objective living, as the purely personal is not troubling me these days.

To some extent, too, I have learned to mind my own business.

All this makes me feel like doing more occult work of the mental variety.
