My Journal This Is, yes. Hrmm..

Now learned the state of mind he needs to dream with awareness, Dooku have.

But as unstable as his thoughts, he soon found that the dream is, because his thoughts, they are.

To learn to be present of the moment in order to take the next step in dreaming, he have. Herh herh herh.

To understand the crude matter of this world, to understand your own world, you have. Yeesssssss.

Make the force your ally, only this way you can. Hmmmmm.

Powerful Dooku became, controled by the dark side inside him, he was.

But Dooku soon realised that his pracctise wasn't enough to beat the person with the most midi-chlorians.

He did not know that midi-chlorian can be charged from dreams. For us luckily.

To start your training now you know enough. But fear your dreams, do not, yourself, your dreams is.
fear is the path to the dark side. fear leads to anger. anger leads to hate. hate leads to suffering.

But soon will I rest, yes, forever sleep. Earned it I have. Twilight is upon me, soon night must fall.

Herhh...

Tell you the first thing I tell every new padawan I will.

Without the midi-chlorians, exist life could not, and we, no knowledge of the force, would have. To us they continually speak, of the force, telling us the will. When to quiet your mind you learn, hear them speaking to you, you will.

With meditation, be able to listen to them, you will.

Of the force, make meditation a part of your awareness and listen to the will. Yeesssssss.

To fully understand the midi-chlorian, to look inside, you have. The port that can take us to their source, the dreams are.

The art of relaxing the mind and the body while remaining aware, meditation is. Yeesssssss.

Crucial to learn to control the force, to keep the mind free from worries and concerns is.

This, Dooku learned to do, but his fear and from fear the evil grows he still had. Hmm..

Important to rember this is, to be feared, nothing in life is. Only to be understood, it is. Yesss.

Yoda told me to be aware and the exercise he gave me was simple. He told me to sit on a rock with closed eyes and just focus on my breath. It sounded easy at first, but when I was sitting there my thoughts started to distract me and I lost focus on my breath. I even fell asleep on the first attempts of trying this...
Yoda felt my concern and said "Try to do it, do not, do or do not, there is no try. Try another word of doing not it is."
I thought I understood, but the key was to not judge myself, and to think of myself in thirdperson like I were the one teaching my other self. So if I started to think thoughts like "This is stupid, Yoda is wrong this doesn't help me at all" just be aware of yourself thinking that and neither like it or dislike it, I just regain my focus on the breath. That includes all thoughts even if they are positive like "Yes I am doing it, I am meditating without caring". If I am doing this I am still thinking, but the goal is not to stop thinking that's impossible, the goal is to be aware.

Figure out what made Dooku afraid later on I can not, but something physical from this would I am sure that it was not.

Prepared him more, should I have. Hmm..

Today Yoda said “To control matter, to learn to control yourself you have..”. I did not understand what he meant by that. He told me to stand on my hands while he balanced on my feet. We looked stupid, but I started to understand why I was doing this.
I thought I had to focus on my balance, but the only thing that I really needed to focus on was my intention and my intention only. If I focused on anything else I would fail and fall over.
When I understood that all that was needed was my intention, I could believe in myself and do a handstand effortless.
It's all about balancing the mind and the body.
I am now ready to look at the flame again.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________

Now learned the purpose of concentration, he have.

The first step of selfawareness, this is. Before I let him look at the flame again,
to sit and meditate I told him, but to be much harder he found that. Herh herh herh.

Retracing the steps of Dooku

One of my best apprentice, he was, but as you may know, good consequences the force only has not.
Besides from the bitter ending, an educative beginning, there was.
Begin, it all begin when Dooku was a youngling. To look at I gave him a stereogram picture.
http://www.magiceye3ds.com/3dpics/img/043magiceye3d.jpg
See anything he said that he could not, and to look past the picture I told him that he needed.
His first lesson, this was. He sat in days, stubborn he was. A real model student he was.
When see the image, he one day could, instead to look past the flame from a candle I told him. Yeesssssss.
Since that day his progress he journaled, which follow and learn from, you can. Hmm..
With great power, the closer to evil you are. So learning this, keep that in mind while you are.

Yoda: Powerful you have become Dooku, the dark side I sense in you.
Count Dooku: I have become more powerful than any Jedi. Even you.
[Dooku shoots Sith lighting at me who effortlessly deflects it away]
Yoda: Much to learn, you still have.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________

I never thought I was going to be able to see the figure that was hiding in the center of the picture. When I finally did I couldn’t believe my eyes. And all of the things that Yoda told me started to make sense. Because who knows what else are out right in front of our eyes that we can’t see?
Today Yoda told me to use this kind of vision to look past the burning flame on a candle. I did and I could not see anything except the heat of the flame and I made some attempts to make the flame move.
I tried to look past the flame, but the flame remained completely still.

I wonder what’s the point with doing this...


In the coming days, follow Dooku on his journey to selfawareness and control, we are. Yes, hmmm.

Luke's Lessson

To focus on the senses to be aware of yourself falling asleep last day I talked about how. Going to reveal that the same way that I use to be aware of the force, that is.
So what I ment by focusing on the force, was just a joke, and that means that, to do just like everybody else, have I. Yes, hmmm. Herh herh herh.

With jedis through my training, aware of most of the obstacles that you will face along the way, I am. But to understand the mentality you need to have watched this video, and understand that the only enemy, is yourself, you have. Hmmm...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A_uOaA3e_0

About dissolving your feelings to become a jedi is not, about controlling them, is it. For you making them work when you need them to instead of giving into them completely.
The same, is it when it comes to be aware of your dreams. Yes Hmm..

Look at my eyes in the video, about changing the frequency of matter with the help of a strong intention and a strong belief in the force, is it.
No different, to dream awareness it is.

Tell you how to pracctise this now, I will.

To develop the force you need to augment your state of attention such that, aware of yourself looking, you are. In other words, of looking include yourself in the act you have.

Do this right now, you can: As this screen you look at, of yourself looking at it become aware. If successful, you are, notice a very subtle sensation or presence, you will which, with over many months and years practice, develop into the force. Hmm..

But for now, just use it to be aware of your dreams, you can.

If unable to become aware of yourself looking simply by intending to do so, you were, couple of alternative approaches, there are.

Your eyes slightly raise. Your head not, your eyes just. Notice your field of vision appears to be more expansive, you will.

Or, your eyes rather than raising, to the shapes and colors in your peripheral vision simply pay attention. Again, notice your vision appears to be more expansive, you will.

With eyes open do this when you pracctise the force, with eyes closed do this when you pracctise awareness of your thoughts and dreams yes. Closed eyes for both, yoda have.

But you approach it however, yourself to maintain it over many minutes, the key to this change of attention is to will. Difficult for most people, that is because they lack will. Yes, Hmm..

But as you struggle. Remember Yoda's advice you must. "Do or do not there is no try"

I told you last time that, talk about my adventures, would I, instead I talked about Luke's.
My part another joke from. Herh herh herh. But by reading you learned, yes.

Simple, the answer is. To enter a dream aware, to stay aware while falling asleep, you have. But to find something to be aware of, in order to do so you have.
Easy for, yoda it is, to be aware of the force, yoda just have.
For human, harder he have to be aware of the emptiness, is it.

Of your senses choose one.

Sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste.

Imaginary senses that is.
Build of, each of these is just one small part of what a thought is and built of, therefore what a dream is.

With the hearing most people think, which to do is the easiest, but to stay aware of the hardest.

Easy to stay aware of, sight is something that people normally think is.
But never tried it while falling asleep, they have, and it becomes hard instead therefore. Yes, hmmm.

Humans are used to be very aware of the smell and taste not, and why they cannot think with these senses properly, that is. Yeesssssss. However yoda is used to that either not, so teach you that with a clear conscience I can not. Yes, hmmm.

No longer different that the reality, touch is used in the last step of dream awareness to verify that the thought is.

Only learn by doing, you can, but to focus on the sight for most people it works. Yes, hmmm.

Imagine that when you close your eyes you can see the space and all the stars. Look around you and maintain you awareness on what you see, if you start to think, you are not aware of what you see.

Keep focusing on what you can see, and soon start to be aware of your other senses, you will, and you can start to be aware of those instead. Soon, aware of all your senses, you are, and aware of a dream, when that happens you are. Hmmmmmm.

Tell you about one of my adventure tomorrow, will I. Yes, hmmm.
