1. The stillness requires just that--[[stillness]]. It is most important to still the [[body]] in order to gain a [[quietness]] for the [[mind]] to be allowed to begin its [[quieting]] [[process]]. Any position is acceptable of course, it matters not. stillness and [[relaxation]] of the limbs, eyes, [[face]], hands, and feet, this will help [[facilitate]] stillness in the [[brain]]. That is, the [[electrical]] [[impulses]] coming from the extremities are lessened, and therefore, the electrical activity within the [[brain]] itself becomes less.

2. Then the [[surroundings]] should be [[quiet]]. [[Stimulation]] from the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Sense#Audition auditory sense] is most distracting and should be eliminated if possible.

3. [[Mental]] stillness, this particular aspect of this [[practice]] is the most [[difficult]] to [[achieve]]. Many of you are, however, making great [[progress]] and strides in this section. Mental [[stillness]] is essential for [[Thought Adjuster]] [[communications]] to be [[received]].

[[Future]] time, there will be no [[communication]] between [[two]] [[minds]]; they will be one mind. In doing the [[decisions]] of your greater self, your own [[Indwelling Spirit]], who comes from [[the Father]], you are increasingly becoming like Him; you are doing His will for Him and for yourself; you are more closely [[attuning]] your will to His, your [[mind]] to His, your awareness to His; and, in [[future]] times, as I said, there will be only One.

And on that day, when there is only One, you are [[immortal]], and you will come to [[understand]] the saying that “there will be no more weeping, no more tears of sorrow, for He will wipe away those tears.”[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_7] There are no more sins, “for all your sins, though they be as scarlet, are white as snow.” For you have become true and [[noble]] and [[eternal]] [[citizens]] of [[the Father]]'s [[the kingdom|Kingdom]] where there is still [[adventure]], still [[uncertainty]], still [[reward]] for [[effort]], still [[effort]] to reach the Eternal Father, but your [[success]] is [[assured]], the way is truly open, and the faltering is truly no more. This [[time]] of oneness is sought by all [[Free will|will]] creatures, on all worlds, in all [[the universes]], in one way or another. This [[attuning]] of the [[creature]] will to the Divine will is [[the Father]]'s command “be ye [[perfect]] as I am perfect.” This is the Father's one and only command of you.

CALVIN: Very, very much. I [[thought]] I had to go sit in a certain way and hold my hands in a certain way to really [[connect]]. I can see I can do what you are saying just in driving down the road or [[reflecting]] - looking out the window at [[work]]. (Abraham: Yes, correct.)

ROLAND: Abraham, I [[appreciate]] your lesson tonight. I feel benefited by that. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_religions East Indian tradition] of [[meditation]] is of course, as you know long, and asks that in the meditation the goal be in [[connection]] with [[God consciousness]]. They speak of an [[energy]], which is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kundalini kundalini energy], that rests at the bottom of the spine. Many of the masters are able to raise this energy from the base of the spine through the crown [[chakras]] of the head with [[practice]], and have become [[illuminated]] in the [[process]], in a mindal way that their [[prose]] and their [[poetry]] are of a very high state. Does this have any bearing on what they are doing or a bearing of what you speak of in the [[silence]], or is this a [[different]] practice entirely?

ABRAHAM: As with [[stillness]] [[practice]], you are opening your human [[Free will|will]] to be led by Father. You are putting aside your [[desires]], for Father to be of [[service]]. It is Father who [[manipulates]] the energies that you [[speak]] of. Man can only be open to this [[manipulation]]. It must be man's will to [[align]] with Father's in order to [[understand]] the benefits of this [[energy]]. [[God]] is energy. He is the [[source]] of all energy. To integrate with Father is to begin to [[understand]] this energy and how to put it to use. Is this at all answering?

ROLAND: It does answer. I guess the [[distinction]] I can see at this [[point]] is that for the world in general to [[understand]] that reaching the [[stillness]] is a [[simple]] [[process]] of quieting yourself each day, and there is a tremendous amount of [[power]] and direction in that. Is it then that [[practicality]] which we [[achieve]] by a few minutes of this [[practice]], is enhanced or perhaps even refined through the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_religions Eastern tradition] of longer periods of time and particular methods of [[meditation]]? Is it beneficial to pursue those [[traditional]] forms of Eastern Indian practice to achieve higher [[enlightenment]]?

ABRAHAM: Long [[stillness]] practice is to misuse your energy. Too long at ''stillness'' [[practice]] is to drain you of that [[energy]] that might be put to use through [[service]]. This meeting for example, during the first part of my lesson the [[words]] are fairly strong. Towards the end of our meeting the words are fewer and less [[understood]] by the [[transmitter/receiver]]. We recommend short ''[[stillness]]'' practice, because when you begin to always allow [[God]] to live your life with you, you will find you are always in somewhat of a [[stillness]] practice. Stillness, is a reconnecting and allowing Father to reach you. Advanced stillness is to use this [[practice]] in everyday living. Does this help?

Action is different from resistance. To act within the Father’s will is for some not very discernible. They have to go on instinct, on gut feeling, if you will. Yes, the Master always first sought the Father through the *stillness*, through His meditation, therefore, acquiring a better idea of Father’s divine plan and then Jesus put that plan into action. No, He did not believe Father to do His work for Him. (TR: I said that wrong. You know what I mean. Note: He did not leave His work for Father to do.) Many people who are passive may be confused with the gentle nature of the Master and fear to stand up for their passions. But I tell you, Jesus was a superb example of strength and intelligence. He could always find a way to put these attributes into a plan of action.

ROLAND: Thank you, Abraham. (INAUDIBLE)..I find that telling of experiences seem to be of interest because (inaudible) the story behind it. The thing that has changed in my experience, that has transformed me is (INAUDIBLE--I think Roland is asking about transcendental--Eastern practices of meditation ) meditation, to allow the Indwelling Spirit to communicate at some level in the conscious mind a direction of the spiritual path. That is a concept that is foreign to the western mind. Do you have some suggestions as to how we can approach that?

Do you have some suggestions as to how we can approach that?

ABRAHAM: Yes, the word, the *stillness*, may perhaps be too foreign, whereas meditation is more recognized. Just as with prayer, the simple talk with the Father and a moment of receiving is really all one needs to start with. Yes, you are correct, the *stillness* is very important to contact the Indwelling Father Fragment, but I would suggest that with this *stillness* exercise inform the newcomer, beginners, that this exercise is not supernatural, is not mysterious, is not going to be miraculous.
