Jack invited anyone who has experience keeping a journal to make their own suggestions. I have kept a journal, off and on, for many years, and for the past few months have been making entries almost every day. I find it one of my favorite things to do in the morning. My main interest is treating it as a bridge been inner and outer life. Or, in terms of the Noble Eightfold Path, as a bridge between wisdom (vision and intention) and how we act in the world (speech, action, and livelihood). In our TSK studies it can be easy to miss the speech bridge. When we read the TSK texts we are immersed in wisdom and startling insights. And if we do TSK practices we are perhaps silently trying to bring wisdom into our life. So what is the need for speech (such as this post)? I find that the reward is in a sense of greater clarity and integration (or Samadhi, the third main grouping in the Eightfold Noble Path). Jack also expressed the hope that journalling could lead to posts and comments on-line and that this in turn could help create a spirit off sharing to support our individual discoveries. I hope so. Writing on our computers, from our different points across the globe, is not especially conducive to a recognition of our shared interest in TSK,  is it? — Michael
