    The document is about Rajyoga meditation. It discusses that the soul is like a point of light that uses the human body like a computer uses a programmer. The soul has three faculties - the mind which creates thoughts, the intellect which decides which thoughts to act on, and resolves/habits which are formed from original soul traits and life experiences. It provides examples of different types of thoughts and how habits are acquired. The homework is to visualize oneself as a point of light during meditation.
