Student: Welmek, this is J. It's interesting tonight that as soon as you said about the [[self-forgetfulness]], I remembered before what we had done and immediately thought of working. And then, when you said to [[visualize]] [[Michael]], there He was as [[Jesus]] of Nazareth. He was planing a board. Because, if I'm not mistaken, in those days to build a boat you didn't go to the lumber yard to get a piece of plywood, you almost had to cut each plank to fit it in place. I could see His hands, as I mentioned before, I have some notion of what it was like, the [[proportion]] of being billions, hundreds of billions of years old, and how precious those few years on earth must have been. And what it's like then, to take every spare [[moment]], to go down and get a piece of wood, and make another boat. And so there He was kind of smiling and showing me how to plane a board. And I remember years ago going onto a job-site, a big construction site, and having a little spare moment and my [[heart]] was just racing and beating, and all of a sudden I realized just how much [[fear]] and how much [[energy]] was coming alive in me, to face that day and I had this funny sensation of I'm actually suffering! It's kind of like an amusing observation that I was actually suffering, and not much, but I was actually suffering a kind of [[anxiety]] - could I do it? And then I had a feeling that when you said, "Look at Michael's eyes," I see Michael everyday. I see Him with all the guys around me, working with me. And now it's just a real [[joy]] because there is long periods of time in which I'm not there at all. And it's not the wood, it's just this particular piece of wood I'm working on, it's this window, this door, this lock-work I'm putting in. So thank you! Thank you for that [[perspective]]. There's a wonderful thing in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zen_buddhism Zen] about not leaving even a single trace, even of yourself. Just be totally in what you're doing.

Welmek: But the [[beauty]] of living in the [[moment]] is one of effortless ease and this is what is so available to you now by going to [[the Master]] and asking him to show you. And so as he [[reveals]] Himself to you in your life, there is more of this drawing into His [[being]] so that, He gives you that which He experienced, for you to experience uniquely, and to master it in the way that He did so perfectly, as a [[human]], as he lived his life here. You are well on your way to enjoying this exquisite [[freedom]] that comes in living in the moment and I [[encourage]] you to always see the Master as he stands in front of you throughout your day and to find the refreshment and the [[living water]] that you see within His eyes. Do you have any other comments before we move on to another person?

This [[exercise]] was intended for you to experience this more deeply. This sense of [[self-forgetfulness]] that you are, albeit somewhat unconsciously, beginning to develop within your own being, and as you know, the more you ask to be in this state of [[grace]], receiving these [[blessings]], the easier it will become to forget about all of the [[problems]], all of the situations of living on this world. It does not mean to say, that you will still not need to deal with the [[challenges]], but the outcome will not affect you as greatly and you will feel more peace and guidance as you move through them. Do you have any further comments before we move on?

Student: Just this: this [[gratitude]], and just the [[faith]], and just the [[certainty]], but I also feel that because of all this, my deepening of faith in the Father and His will and more - forgetting myself and allowing, surrendering myself to His will, which is my will. If I hadn't of grown in this way, I don't know how I would have survived what I've had to [[endure]] the past five or six months, with everything going on in my life. It seems like I'm in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane#Eye_and_center eye of the hurricane]; there's this calmness or this [[certainty]]. I'm not saying I've never had those periods of absolute [[fear]] and [[anxiety]] and stress. But, as you know, I've come through that and I feel like even though things may be happening around me, I am calm within myself; there's this sense of [[certainty]] within me that I am unfolding as my Master unfolded.

Welmek: And as you let Him [[guide]] you, as you walk with him, you will sense this more and more and live in the "peace that passes all [[understanding]]".

Welmek: The more you [[taste]] of this [[peace]], the more of you will [[desire]] this, for you will find that nothing tastes as good as being in this peace. (All [[agree]] and give thanks)

Student: As I got into what I think is the proper perspective of this, I started to realize my gratitude for your study leadership in this area of "mental hygiene", as I guess [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_S._Sadler Dr. Sadler] would call it. More recently I've been experiencing, probably with D's help more of the laser-beaming of my [[animal]] legacy which is exciting but it's still [[materialistic]] and I appreciate your guidance in this momentary bifurcation. There was a drill in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology Scientology] about being three feet behind your head, or when I'm discussing with my brother how [[guardian angels]] must be able to have their [[minds eye]] at the top of the room and looking down, and it's good to hear somebody teach these [[methods]] with [[authority]]. What I think I'm feeling in the connection with it, (which I'm more used to with the [[Thought Adjuster]]), is like identifying with [[my soul]], the fabric of my soul. I'm sort of able to step into my soul's [[cocoon]] or lofty fabric and be larger than the situation at any one time along with feeling a sense of [[progress]]. I really appreciate your [[guidance]] with these mental exercises because the world needs and has not had these, and needs the [[leadership]] of authority, rather than just experimental [[techniques]]. I feel it is worthwhile, and I feel a lightness, a freeing up of attention units, to be of better service and in [[accepting]] the Thought Adjuster's [[guidance]] with a lighter heart, a more debonair spirit, a more meek spirit. And thanks again for being here.

Welmek: As we moved through the exercise, what would you say was the most compelling part of it for you?

Student: I think the real sense of [[authority]] to [[practice]] this visualizing of two selves. I'm not worried about being [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia schizophrenic] or anything like that. I don't think in those terms, but I mean just your permission to do this exercise lightened the [[feeling]], and lightened the [[burden]] of partaking in these advanced practices for the betterment of [[mankind]]. The lightening up of the burden, I think would be the most compelling part.

Welmek: Do you find that you are less judgmental of yourself when you can look down at yourself and see this person who is going through daily life?

Student: Yes that's what I'm struggling with. I realize with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholicism Catholic] upbringing that we tend to be a little bit too self-judgmental; too much into self-[[analysis]] which Jesus taught the [[apostles]] not to do, which we have trouble not doing. And I do actually feel that when I'm in the more spiritual part that it's more of an exercise of [[observation]] than the high critical judgment and I appreciate that.

Welmek: When you separate yourself and [[ascend]] into the embrace of Michael as you look down upon yourself, you will begin to see yourself through His eyes; those eyes that see the child, those eyes that see the full [[panorama]] of your life from where you began and to where you are now moving. And, in that enlarged perspective you will be able to see yourself more objectively and too at some level [[experience]] more deeply within you how loved and how [[accepted]] you are by [[our Father]] and by Michael at your particular phase in life.
