Rahel,

Falling asleep is normal, fine, happens in the beginning. Keep going.

TR gave you the gist of 6 and 7. Is the path clearer, now? Try to get to ten three times in a row without sleeping if you can.

And no matter how silly or stupid you think your questions are, they are not, and anger won’t blossom on this side. Your questions are normal, usual, expected. Why would we get mad at a girl looking for peace? There are 3.5 billion, doing just the same. Asking questions, or holding answers. Either way, you’re welcome here, sis. No biggie. If I (or others) don’t answer your question, its perhaps because it wouldn’t make sense yet, wouldn’t be helpful yet. Crawl, then walk, then run, then fly. Natural dharmic process.

Its between you and the cushion, now. Good luck!

With warmth,
Matt
