Find seven water-polished pebbles as close in size, shape and surface characteristics as is possible. Make sure the stones are perfectly clean and dry. Label seven envelopes with the seven days of the week, and place one pebble in each of them. Every night, in a secluded place, on the appropriate day of the week, remove one pebble from its envelope and study it. Shine lights on it, turn it over in your hand, place it next to your skin on various parts of your body, draw it, map it, write about it, meditate on it. Continue this exercise nightly until you are thoroughly familiar with the individual characteristics of each stone. Try to develop a dialog with each of them. See if they wish to speak to you or to each other. As the stones give you the gift of expanded awareness, find out what each of them requires in exchange. Try to accommodate them, even if this is discomfiting. Press forward with this exercise to the limits of your sanity, and, if possible, a little beyond.

Time is a living, language-entity with form and intent.
In August, 2000, this Time-spirit inspired Roy Dean Doughty to begin creating Awareness Exercises to transform his business consulting and life-coaching clients.
A Monument of Wonders was born from an Awareness Exercise called Rock Gazing, the texts of the Monument being elaborated from a 2000-plus-page journal cataloging the effects of this exercise, which was practiced from October 27th, 2000 to October 27th, 2001.
This monument of words derived from Rock Gazing radically changed the author’s life, and is the armature or foundation for A Monument of Wonders. Now thousands of people can read and collaborate to experience a leap from time-bound, body-bound awareness, where language is only descriptive or is used as a tool of manipulation, to a quantum awareness, where all times are ever-present, and identity flows freely through many bodies.
Readers, listeners, contributors and collaborators of A Monument of Wonders are collectively changing consensus reality and the destiny of the planet.
