    Hello!

    I've read the kybalion and have some questions about the chapter on
    Rhythm. What does it mean by "raising of the Ego above the
    vibrations of the Unconscious Plane of mental activity, so that the
    negative swing of the pendulum is not manifested in consciousness?"
    Is it accomplished by having a one-pointed awareness of your physical
    senses, emotions and thoughts every second, every moment so that you
    remain detached from your personality whilst performing your daily
    tasks?

    For the past few days i've been practicing this constant-awareness of
    my personality self, which is alike to the step 1 thought-observation
    exercise, except that you extend this awareness of your thoughts to
    your emotions and physical actions. It sure gives me greater
    emotional stability, and a "nothing really matters that much" kind of
    attitude, but i find it hard to perform the one-pointedness
    meditation whilst remaining detached from my train of thought...or is
    it simply that one cannot remain detached and contemplating upon a
    thought at the same time? It is like watching a stranger performing
    the one-pointedness exercise, and me observing his thoughts going on
    in his mind, but its not easy.

    Well, if detachment from your daily tasks comes only after your mind
    is silent, and without any mental chatter at all, does it means that
    no matter what i do everyday ( playing basketball...talking to
    friends..) i should aim to have absoultely no mental chatter at all (
    except during one-pointedness exercises)...with only a silent mind to
    carry through all my daily tasks?
