“. . .the psychological warp in the average person makes him shrink from facing the most negative and corroding tendencies in his make-up; . . . only through precipitation of acute inner crises can even the most earnest seeker be forced to face the pressing issues of his psyche, and thus create the opportunity of dissolving them.”

If you missed the first TeleCourse meeting click the link below. This call was our first–somewhat awkward–attempt to switch from internet-TV-only mode to a hybrid with telephone participants. It does contain useful information for beginning to get into The Work.
As you read each chapter, please note down any questions that come up, to ask during the next group call.
Sharing your experiences will make the course a richer experience for everyone.
This comment, from Silverdale (from the Justin TV log during the course) is a wonderful summary of the first exercise: “The objective is to have the non-phenomenal part of ourself observe the physical part as it passes through the day.”
Here are some of the activities class members will observe themselves doing during the week as they do the exercise:
I can watch myself when i’m cooking
Making tea in the morning
Brushing my teeth
Driving the same route to work
Doing laundry
I choose to perform this weeks exercise by head brain observation of placing my tshirt on, 1st thing in the morning.
Feeding the animals.
Loading and unloading the dish washer
“Practical Work on Self” REPLAYS, SEE BELOW
PWOS details 24 exercises. Each exercise, from “Practical Work on Self,” by E.J. Gold, is a practical demonstration of a spiritual principal. Our job in this class is to find ways and means to demonstrate and work with these principals in daily life.
David Franco says: “I do not know how many times I have participated in this series of exercises, nor do I
know how many times I have presented the material, but I do know that at some point in each exercise, I find myself on some uncertain ground of a new land.”
David and Teresa invite you to join us on this voyage.
Practice is best done together for two reasons.
First, we help each other learn what the exercises may be and how to bring them out from within us. Then each and everyone of us is a carrier of this information for others.
Second, we can help our fellow voyagers on their paths.
Each exercise requires each of us to work out our own puzzle of “HOW TO” do each step. We do that for ourselves, then we can help others do it as well.
Teresa Dietze has run the PWOS class several times in Seattle. Her interest in the material and recent visit to E.J. Gold’s Institute helped to initiate this phase of the PWOS voyage.
Replays of our PWOS CLASS SERIES can be heard by clicking the links below to the sound files of chapters and related classes.
