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?

ROLAND: Thank you, Abraham, I find that telling of [[experiences]] seems to be of interest because of the [[story]] behind it. The thing that has changed in my [[experience]] that has transformed me is my [[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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Passion_of_the_Western_Mind western mind]. 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 newcomer, beginners, that this exercise is not [[supernatural]], is not [[mysterious]], is not going to be [[miraculous]]. This is [[simple]] and does not require much [[effort]]. Mortals are attracted to [[simplicity]]. If the stillness becomes a [[difficult]] [[exercise]] then it will not be [[practiced]]. Does this help?
