A man must love his father and yet be free of his father's expectations and criticisms in order to be a free man. Imagine that your father has died or remember when he did die. Are there any feelings of relief associated with his death? Now that he is dead, is any part of

you happy that you need not live up to his expectations or suffer his criticisms? How would you have lived your life differently if you had never tried to please your father? If you never tried to show your father that you were worthy? If you never felt burdened by your father's

critical eye? For the next three days, do at least one activity a day that you have avoided or suppressed because of the influence of your father. In this way, practice being free of his subtle expectations, which may now reside within your own self-judgment. Practice being

free in this way once each day for three days. Even if you still feel fearful, limited, unworthy, or burdened by your father's expectations. [Music] [Music] You
