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

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.

So in a sense you are creating your own [[future]] by the [[decisions]] you are making today. You can bring the future to you by your [[intentions]] and the [[decisions]] which you make in this moment. There is a relationship to time which is what it is. This is not important as what you are now, as what you are [[becoming]]. Any moment that you think you are, what you really need to sense is that you are becoming, because you are not yet complete, and my friends it will be quite a long time before you taste completeness, so enjoy the [[journey]]. ( I hate to think of it in the material time) You should love the [[opportunity]].

Student; JarEl; Through my meditation, I do have moments do feel enwrapped by God's love. But then it always leave me then. My first reaction is that he does not like me enough to stay around. Unless I meditate on that I finally got the answer, you're leaving me, I'm not leaving you, you're leaving me. So at first I visualized God's house, I leave his house. I am going in God's house, I see this big table with these people around it. So now where do I sit. I want to sit at the head of the table and that is no good either. Then I realized not to visualize a house, just see the light, and then I fully understood that I, no one could leave him. I needed to overcome my unworthiness. To stay in his arms, constantly. How nice it will be on the other side. We will meet people, people who we know through our history. As I was experiencing that, I say my parents and my mother became vivid, and she let me know that because she left this world when there was conflict between us, she let me know I understand it now, we were so silly. It is all right, you go do your work. I felt very good about that . I felt physically that I came back here again from another dimension, and I felt like I wanted to stay, NO let me stay here, and then I felt presence or words say, its ok, you can always go there anytime, the door is always open. After a while I thought about that, what it felt like there was no distance in the other dimension. It is just an illusion, I really felt that it was just another state of mind.

JarEl; Thank you, my friend. I would like to comment on your first thought. When I grew up there was a story on my world, and it was a simple story. It was a story of a rock who had sensed the passing wind and this rock would pray that it would become a feather that it would forever be caught up in this wind. So yes, this fleeting glimpse of Presence. In time to sense that your journey is to come to this place, to this situation in which you and spirit will forever be one. That you become the same quality of essence that this spirit. That you meld and fuse with this spirit, become one. That forever you can move within this spirit. It is the awakening of a dream, a real dream. Continue your meditation.
