Student; Is this common, does everybody [[experience]] this?

JarEl; what is common is the growing [[intellect]] and this intellect's connection with [[mind]] and the many ramifications with [[perception]]. This is part of the plan of [[human evolution]], that this intervening space between [[animal]] perception and [[spirit]] perception brings tentative nuances to [[understanding]] and perception in general. What I am intending to say is that as the mind begins to become associated with [[spirit]], its capacity for perception and understanding begins to shift because it has a new [[reference]]. This new reference gives a new perspective. It is quite possible that the evolving person may [[glimpse]] his or her future in a [[moment]]--in part of a [[dream]], in a glance. Just as a [[shadow]] stands right next to your [[peripheral]] [[vision]], also this spirit which dwells within is constantly attempting to make some kind of real and substantial contact with your mind. Short of stopping your thought and shouting at you, this spirit waits calmly and patiently and little be little finds ways to shift, alter, slip in a word, a phrase, a glimpse, maybe an [[image]], a color, a scent, a [[thought]] , a notion , a [[feeling]], a desire, a longing, a need. Are you sensing what I am trying to get you to see.

Student; JarEl; your lesson and your answers have stressed the [[desire]] to become one with [[the Father]], to access [[the Father]]. We have several new ones here, it might be helpful to enlarge upon the subject, just how a newcomer goes about that.

JarEl; Well everyone accesses spirit in their own way. Sooner or later, you find that to access spirit, takes a [[conscious]] [[effort]]. For many it takes a [[quieting]] of their [[surroundings]], even a [[stillness]] of mind, to empty your cup that it may be filled. What he is referring to is that in our lessons and activities, we promote and encourage the [[practice]] of meditation called [[stillness]], which in a simple description implies that you find a way to still your mind and sit in the presence and oneness of spirit. There are many ways to visualize this, for example one may visualize sitting in darkness, complete and utter blackness devoid of any other sense or fear, and begin to sense the presence of light, no matter how [[subtle]]. You may sense in the far distance a candle burning. It may only be a faint glimmer, it may take you a while to actually see the candle and it may even take a longer time to sense the closeness of this candle. This is an example.
