--- PRENOTES
--- INTENTIONS FOR THIS RUN
--- METHOD FOR THIS RUN
While it is tempting to aim for 50-100 pages a day, at 24 per day it still completes the text in a month, meanwhile I could also study other, less cryptic religious texts, like the works of Sri Ramakrishna and Saints. Which seems to give some grounding in God remembrance,= which can oddly be forgotten in the crypticness of Savitri. Such a method could offer the merits varying context or comparison, while potential drawbacks could be a force for misinterpretation.
--- POTENTIAL SUPPLEMENTARY PRACTICES
Studying other books (Saints and Sri Ramakrishna)
read through memcards at least a few times.
log lower movements again.
--- POST BOOK NOTES
It took about 2 months? I feel like the date above could be incorrect. This run seemed to have a primary daily focus on my website, header bar, maybe index page, quotes and chapters. As such, I ended up having a lot of 2 page days. Is there a series of questiosn somewhere for this? like including things like "any notable experiences?" or "any particular progress made?" "anything I should do differently?" "did I succeed in the intentions?"
- though there were at least some "ticks" made which means potentially some progress towards enjoying the entire book by means of further understanding of a wide range of the text. or depth in certain areas.
--- UNSORTED NOTES
so I just finished canto 1. anything to report?
reading outloud does seem to posses a different power then subvocal.
before reading it seems to help to take a couple deep breaths and make a small prayer in my heart for the power to read it outloud, as prayer is definitely OP.
or rather than a couple of breaths its about perhaps a real proper out breath. or two out breaths. the emptying of the self or something.
sometimes its like reading to the cells, sometimes to people in India, just now the thought of reading to all the parts of the being, even if the one reading doesnt understand what he is saying he just has to try to say it as clearly as possible so they can hear him.
