From my journal entry:
"Each morning, when you meditate before the dawn, ask yourself, 'What is the lesson I need to learn today? What is the question I need to ask?' It may be something related to your job, your family, your spiritual work, or some person or event that is uppermost in your mind. It way be the same question of the day before because some problems take longer than a day to resolve, or perhaps you were not receptive yesterday when the fiery salamanders returned with the answer. During this course, the question to ask should be related to the daily meditation. But you can also ask other questions, for there are many salamanders. Ask also to receive God qualities you need to deal with problems, such as Patience."
After this, I asked for Patience and continued sungazing. Then I went back in the house to get ready for work. The morning went exactly like yesterday, only today I had patience. Yesterday, I was upset with my daughter for being late for school. I had to rush and she got there almost late. I didn't say "I love you" when she got out of the car. Today, she was late again, we got to her school at the same time and even parked in the same spot, but today, I had patience and didn't get upset. I said "I love you." Patience must be a part of the God quality of Love. St. Paul wrote "Love is patient, kind, etc..."
