Internalization and the Alarm Clock Phenomenon
Copenhaver emphasizes the necessity of turning inward to internalize knowledge, contrasting this with the constant "outstroke" of modern external stimuli. He uses the common experience of waking up minutes before a set alarm as evidence that the mind continues to work on problems and track data in the background. He warns that relying on external "cheats" like smartphone apps for meditation or planetary hours prevents the practitioner from truly sensitizing themselves to these internal rhythms.
