A. What did you learn (specifically)?

1. Having difficulty with a small object
2. Everything you choose will be giving you difficulty no matter how small

Exercise Steps --->
a) Person #1 holds up the plate and offers unknown object to Person #2
b) Person #2 taps with right finger to temple and says "what do I see" while allowing the object to form in the mind
c) Person #2 then extends right finger out and soft focuses to see the object form on the plate
d) Person #2 takes object off of Person #1 plate and has difficulty with it
e) Person #2 then puts the object back on Person #1 plate
f) Person #1 now completes step B-D

****Person #1 & #2 can't have the same difficulty experience****

B. How did the learning affect me?

The learning helped me to not rush, allowed the image to be viewed in my mind, and didn't allow the image to leave once I mentally pictured it.

C. Did Jon say anything quotable?

"You can't look in the inside and outside at the same time! Being unclear will become clear!"
