You Cannot Remember Yourself Without Seeing Your Sleep

It is only by applying the Work to oneself in one's own particular case that one can realize what Self-Remembering is. If you do not know what it is to observe you are asleep, how can you remember yourself? In this connection I will add something.

Try to observe what particular person you go most asleep about, the person with whom you are most negatively identified. Once you have acknowledged this—that you are identified, that you even do hate—try to make this particular occasion of being asleep an occasion of Self-Remembering. You cannot just remember yourself in general about nothing, so to speak, for there is nothing to work on.
