Class Notes - Sep 13 2015
In the last class - we saw an introduction into the book - Self-Unfoldment.
In this class, we discussed how this book shall be used in the context of this course.
There are two things that we have with us always, if not most of the time.
What we do in the world of Cell Phones
1) Most of our beloved apps that are available on the app store are first downloaded onto our phone.
2) These apps are then installed on our phone before we try them out.
3) Once installed, we start play/interacting with it
Summarized by the picture below that we saw in class.
What we do in this Course of Self-Unfoldment
What we do in this course of self-unfoldment is not much different from the world we are familiar with.
1) We download the various topics related to Self. For instance- Understanding the History, Science, Philosophy of self . This happens in the class when you come to learn about these various topics.
2) The act of installation- happens only when you start using these principles to work on your own self. We will get into the various practices that are part of this process - like Introspection, Reflection, Meditation, Pranayama etc..
3) Once installed, you get to use these new techniques and behaviors while interacting with the world around you. Over a period of time, these interactions will happen with the new behaviors you start to develop.
Summarized by the picture below that we saw in class.
Home Work:
We talked about the various combinations of doing and not doing these three activities and assess where we particularly are at this stage of the course. Across the three combinations of Download (Learning/Studying), Install (Practicing/experimenting on your self) and Play (Interacting with the real world), the following eight combinations serve as a guide to assess where we are and what we intend to do with this class.

There are two things that we have with us always, if not most of the time.
- One we are aware of - The Cell Phone.
- The other we are unaware of - Our self fun :)
