the phase, but instead concentrate on more vital matters. When the time comes to enter into one's practice, it is necessary to turn one's attention to only it, and put aside any pressing problems. A practitioner will feel most comfortable when he clearly separates his two lives, and thus avoid the gaps in practice that inevitably occur unless this philosophy is followed. However, this is not to give the impression that advanced phasers must enter the phase every day without exception. They too take breaks, whether by choice or due to external circumstances. They're sometimes simply not up to it for physical reasons. On a good week they'll devote maybe 35 days to it, and be able to enter the phase from 3 to 6 times or more on each of those days. That's about five hundred fullfledged phase experiences per year, enough to take long strides towards mastering the phenomenon.
