THREE PRIMARY PRACTICES (FOR ENBRIGHTENMENT)
DIVINE REITERATION ~ LOVE & COMPASSION ~ RIGHT-BREATHING
Three Primary Practices
1: The practice of Divine Reiteration. This practice involves a constant, throughout the day and in every experience, re-affirmation of the Truth of Self, God and Reality. You should practice by thinking (or it can be done out loud, alone, or with others, or through silent feeling into the free omni-present Only) there is only One Self, and don’t question that Reality simply practice acknowledging It as often as possible. Then move onto the thought that there is only One God. Follow this up with There is only One Reality. Finally, think/say/feel I am all of this, I am Eternal Light. This is the mental/audible/silent practice of Divine Reiteration. This practice is designed for the first stage disciple.
2: Love and compassion in action are the fundamental practices of number two. The first stage disciple must learn to live all relationships through love and compassion. This undermines the old tendencies of being selfish and hateful. This practice helps to develop the right relationship with family, friends, and the community (society).
3: Breathing through the nose. The beginner must learn to breathe through the nose in all experiences. Mindful breathing through the nose helps to keep the mental landscape settled and not easily disturbed. Keeping the mind on breath prevents the mind from dwelling in egoic mind forms. ~ The Ocean
~ Here are the 'three primary practices' simplified ~
1: Always remember your True Nature in God, and never let the flesh/soul forget.
2: Practice love and compassion in all your relationships, including animals, along with things and places.
3: Right-breathing means breathing through the nose, and use the breath (through the nose) to be the living current of peace and calmness in all experiences, moment to moment.

More detailed commentary from 'The Ocean'
Quote: The three primary practices are not to be done in a robotic way. Rather, one should allow the Heart to guide the intimate way the individuals mind relates to the practices. These three primary practices are designed to maintain a core of relational consciousness that one can, in a practical and simple way, re-cognize or return attention from becoming lost in the darkness of the egoic mind forms, to a conscious return and acknowledgement of the Infinitely Bright Presence of God. The three primary practices cover all conscious relationships in life. These three practices are complimentary to each other, and each one supports the other practices, and they all three support the Spiritual Practice of the Devotee.
The individual disciple can practice Divine Reiteration in any order, but the practice Must be done. In the beginning the practice may seem more difficult, but that will pass as the process builds momentum, and real changes start happening within the neuro-network. Divine Reiteration is the part of the practice that yokes the chaotic and ever changing mind forms into a connected and purpose based support of the Spiritual Practice/Growth. Divine Reiteration yokes the chaos of brain activity unto a single Source; it yokes all brain (all conscious) activity to God.
During the time of process in a first stage devotee the attention to breath and the conscious relationship that one has within the local environment will develop at each person’s unique speed of Awakening. Breathing through the nose is deeply important to truly getting a yoke around that (apparently) big network of ego in the brain. During the process of breathing one should pay attention to how breathe changes from one emotion to the next, from one thought pattern to the next, from one relationship to the next.
Learn to pay attention to the dynamics of the body as you inhale and exhale; feel the lungs expand and the diaphragm contract and expand. A person may feel like breathing with the belly or maybe with the ribs, either way let the body make the choice without focusing too much on the dynamics. Let the breath move naturally, and it will if you get into the habit of breathing through the nose. Practice breathing through the nose only. The nose has a natural air filter; the mouth does not have any air filter.
A person breathes through the mouth only when that person cannot get enough air in through the nose. Thus, the reason you see athletes hunched over and gasping for air after an intense play of sport. How often do you breathe through the mouth? How often are you really out of breath and need to gasp for more oxygen? How many conversations do you have daily that require you to breathe through the mouth? It truly is a bad habit to get into, and it reflects an anxiety based emotional state.
Take time to consciously connect your body, mind and breath. Make the disciplined effort to bring those three forms of consciousness together, working together for you. When we allow our actions, our mind and our breath to become out of sync or chaotically related, we allow ego consciousness to sustain itself, and to sustain the necessary qualities of consciousness for it to ‘live’.
Our activities of our daily life must be rooted in a fundamental set of morals based on love and compassion. This practice of breathing through the nose supports the continuous practice of Love and Compassion. One Must practice love and compassion in every opportunity. Love and compassion have to replace any moral compass you had with ego. Even if you think they were good morals, they were ego based. The first stage devotee will find the practice of love and compassion hard to do. The continuous bubbling up of old ego habits and relationships appearing within the neuro-network contradict the practice of love and compassion. Old ego processes of the body/mind present combative scenarios for the beginner during ones daily interactions.
As the first stage disciple begins to integrate the profound practice of Love and Compassion in life, the anxiety driven moments will subside. One of the most anxiety tainted scenarios is where the person encounters someone they had a bad relationship with, and the questions come up on how to respond and relate to the experience. For anyone of the first stage the answer is Always Love and Compassion. There is nothing to wrestle with, there is nothing and no one to forgive, and there is nothing to forget when you are Totally moved in Love and Compassion.
All first stage disciples have to become responsible for their application of the three primary practices. No one is going to hold your hand and ask if you are doing them, or if one is even doing the practices right. The first stage devotee must become responsible for their Spiritual Cross, they are Responsible for keeping a steady path ingrained and empowered by God-realization. The first stage of Enbrightenment is going to support anyone practicing Faithfully and responsibly in every part of life. Without discipline and responsibility the progressive growth out of the first stage will bog down to a snail’s pace.
