LET HIM DO THE TALKING
     If you do this, your nature will change. Again, you’re not going to understand what I’m about to tell you. Here is the exercise for the rest of your life. You are never ever again in your entire life going to dominate a conversation.
     Every time you ever talk to another human being, you are to let him do the talking. Be passive! This is for the rest of your life!
     You are to sit back and listen without interruption. No more! You want to learn the difference between rocks and rubies. Note everything about the conversation; for example, notice how nervous you get and you want to fill up the silence.
     Next rule: When you do occasionally talk, please notice your favorite topic of conversation.
     There is nothing worse than you being involved with you. If you get rid of this false personality, your pain will go away.

DO WHAT YOU DON’T WANT TO DO
     To increase your speed toward self-health, towards spiritual success, always do exactly what you don't want to do. You don't want to carry that exercise over to the next day that you were given the day before. You don't want to shake your head in a certain setting where you're getting ego-gratification out of staying asleep. You don't want to go against yourself. You don't want to paddle upstream. You want to stay asleep in the canoe.
     NO! Do what you don't want to do. Go against the powers of darkness that want to keep you lazy, that want to keep you dreaming, thinking you are awake. Always give yourself a shock by deliberately doing that exercise one hour longer. Or by going into the supermarket and your aim is going to be aware of yourself turning the corner and going down the aisle and watching other people. Don't be sleepwalking through that supermarket.
     Summary: Do exactly what you don't want to do and that will lead you to a new self.
