Q: Abraham, her question kind of brings to mind something I am wondering. In the morning when I practice *stillness* it takes a while to calm the thoughts, calm the chatter and then the worship and praying. Then I get kind of still, and if I am going to receive anything or going to journal or whatever, there is that process. Then in the afternoon when I meditate, and I do so with a tape or something, I know I don't "go to sleep" because as soon as the tape is over I wake up feeling rested. My question is this, if you are asking to receive the most beautiful perfect light or anything that you need or whatever, do you get it in both experiences? So like in the afternoon when I am meditating with the tape, and I am not conscious of where I go, am I still getting something? Are they different experiences or the same?

Q: Abraham, her question kind of brings to [[mind]] something I am wondering. In the [[morning]] when I [[practice]] [[stillness]] it takes a while to calm the [[thoughts]], calm the chatter and then the [[worship]] and praying. Then I get kind of still, and if I am going to [[receive]] anything or going to [[journal]] or whatever, there is that [[process]].

ABRAHAM: Yes and no. I would say your morning *stillness* practice is more of a superconscious connectedness, and your afternoon session is fertile ground for deep mind training, yet not so much a conscious awareness. It has been quite difficult for the Urantia mortal to allow for this higher minded cosmic teaching, for most mortals carry far too many worries and fears, which when relaxed, tends to all come together in a jumbled mess which is a release, so to speak, for all this negative input. We have been fortunate as co-workers in this Teaching Mission to have access to mortals who are trusting and open more than they are subject to fear, despair and anxiety; so when asleep or in deep meditation there has been opportunity for cosmic enhancements. I would add that in your more awake *stillness* practice you are able to converse willfully and especially to worship. This is the desired method, yet Father uses all opportunity to enhance His child's awareness and challenge His! child to reach out for divine assistance. Does this help?

Q: Yes it does. In just becoming more trusting and knowing of our Divine Parents and trusting and knowing this process more, the *stillness* practice, is the ability to converse more like getting to know, that knowingness when you are following your guidance from Thought Adjuster?

Q: Yes it does. In just [[becoming]] more [[trusting]] and knowing of our Divine Parents and trusting and knowing this [[process]] more, the [[stillness]] practice, is the ability to converse more like getting to know, that knowingness when you are following your [[guidance]] from [[Thought Adjuster]]?

ABRAHAM: Yes Miriam. To converse with Father one on one is allowing for His thoughts to lead and teach. To expect verbal English words is not necessary, but more so an ever increasing understanding of His will, which is presented, in my experience, more so in ideals, [he is saying word packages], not so much word for word, using the mortal language. Higher mindedness is enhanced Father communication, and yes, the more you practice the more trusting you become of Father's abilities to reach His child. Having said this, I would state that in this present mortal condition, stage, [I am saying this wrong] at our present state we will hear more word for word thought patterns. There is ample time for enhanced communication beyond your present mindal pattern, and I speak generally, not particularly to anyone person. Remember, Father presence is Thought Adjuster presence. My communication is by way of technique with your Thought Adjusters. Is this helping?
