*** Watch Out For ***

· Watch your mind ('Oh - there goes another thought!') with a part of your attention at all times. Allow Space to arise around your thoughts – then you are the observer, not the thinker. Do not take your mind too seriously.

· Watch out for when you are in Suffering – which could be as small as mere irritation or impatience. This means that you have “lost” the Now. Suffering requires the Past and Future, as well as a “little Me”. Being aware that you are in Suffering brings Knowing to it, but do not get caught up in thinking about “having lost the Now” Then step back into the Now using the usual Portals – Surrender, Nature, Sense Perceptions, Inner Body, Spiritual Texts, Sensing the Inner Field of Now, etc.

· Watch out for Labeling and Judgments. Recognize them as such and let go of them

· Watch out for (bring your awareness to) repetitive or conditioned responses in yourself and look intensely at these, without judgment or commentary. Watch them as they actually occur whenever possible. Examples are situations where you feel ill at ease, have the same dispute again, or the same thing irritates you again, or perhaps you become full of pride, or take the high moral ground, have feelings of superiority, or sitting in judgment over others - (all Egoic Self stuff – both sides of the duality)

· Watch out for Identifying with a Mental Position. Look out for defensiveness which shows a mental position has been identified with and you are defending an illusion (your Egoic Self). Look out for Repair mechanisms to the Egoic Self - actions which rebuild the sense of self after it has been “damaged” or “threatened”

· Watch out for things that cause resistance to accepting the Isness of Now. Notice and Accept! Watch out for things that “Weren't meant to be like that”, and accept them. They are as they Are! They could not be any other way.

· Watch out for Judging others – when you judge others you are in essence judging yourself. Notice that.

· Watch out for the story in the head. There is no story that is you, or leads to you. Every story leads away from you. You are what exists before all stories. You are what remains when all the stories are understood. Notice it when it occurs.
