Are you currently implementing the teachings given in the book and lecture? If so which one(s)?
I am practising the mediation daily. I am currently reading The 42 Precept of Maat. I have been practising some yoga positions. I haven’t changed my diet yet. I am more aware of my actions, thoughts and desires. I can feel the teachings working through me and in sync with my life right now. I feel like am at a point where I am nearly ready to surrender. But my Ego (set) is strong and I am aware of my confused mind set and Ignorance of self.
If not then how will you implement the teachings you are not currently practising, in your life and spiritual practice?
At the moment I trust the pace that I am going at is right for me now. I have to digest the teachings take them seriously. My mind is going through the purification stage at a fast but also slow pace. It’s like my minds ahead of me but my body isn’t. Reading and applying the Maat philosophy to my life is helping me to find inner peace and balance for short periods of time.
