Within the Exercises, daily instructions include various discussions of the nature of the world, of human psychology as Ignatius understood it, and of man's relationship to God. During each day of the Exercises, a typical retreatant might read two or three pages of these instructions, then contemplate upon their meanings as they might apply to his (or her) life. Afterwards the retreatant typically reports back to the ''spiritual director'' of the retreat what these instructions might mean to the retreatant.

=== Some historically contextual aspects of the Exercises ===
The teachings conveyed via the exercises appear to reflect the prominent Catholic views of the 1500's, during which time they were written. Such teachings include support for the [[Crusades]], prayers for the intercession of [[Blessed Virgin Mary|Mary]], unquestioning and absolute obedience to one's religious superiors, and an implied antagonism towards [[Islam]]. (One of the exercises describes the physical ___location of all evil in the world to be located "in the region of [[Babylon]]", while the physical seat of all goodness is located "in the region of [[Jerusalem]]".)
