up to the limit. There is a fence, and the insult cannot enter you. It comes like an arrow... and falls there. Or remember some sad moment... you are hurt -- but that hurt comes to the glass wall that is surrounding you, and falls there. It never reaches you. You will be able to see -- if the first two weeks have gone right -- by the third week, that everything comes up to that three foot limit, and nothing penetrates you.
Then from the fourth week continue to keep that aura with you; going to the market, talking to people, continuously have it in the mind. And you will be tremendously thrilled. You will move in the world having your own world, a private world, continuously with vou. That will make you capable of living in the present.
Because, in fact, you are continuously bombarded by thousands and thousands of things, and they catch your attention. If you don't have a protective aura around you, you are vulnerable. A dog barks -- suddenly the mind has been pulled in that direction. The dog comes into the memory. Now you have many dogs in the memory from the past. Your friend has a dog... now from the dog you go to your friend. Then to the friend's sister with whom you had fallen in love. Now the whole nonsense starts. The barking of this dog was in the present, but it led you somewhere else into the past. It may lead you into the future -- there is no way of saying. Anything can lead to anything, mm? It is very complicated.
So one needs a surrounding, a protective aura. The dog goes on barking, but you remain in yourself -- settled, calm, quiet, centred. Carry that aura for a few days, a few months. When you see that now it is not needed, you can drop it. Once you know how to be herenow, once you have enjoyed the beauty of it, the tremendous bliss of it, you can drop the aura of it.
Try it, and after four weeks tell me how things are going.

Just float... moment to moment. Just live as intensely, moment to moment, as possible.
Always feel as if this is going to be the last moment... as
