Very well, let us begin. I ask you now in your minds-eye to sit in a place of darkness. Picture in your mind that which you see and feel all around you is dark, and I would say, even cold. And it is not the most comfortable place to be. Now imagine at a distance in front of you, is a small pinhole of light that you see. It is intriguing, and it is appealing, and it has a certain magnetizing effect upon you that makes you know within you that you want to see more light and have this grow stronger. I want you to experience the fullness of this mental picture of being in the dark, feeling what that is like, but yet seeing this light in the distance and being attracted to it. (Pause) Now with your eyes closed and staying in a still state of mind, I ask each of you, if you are willing, to share with me in a brief sentence or two what you are experiencing in sensing the contrast between the dark and the light.

Student: Welmek, I guess because I just love darkness, it's so expansive; it's hard for me not to just be the darkness and try to be all around the light. I kind of feel that little speck of light right in the middle of me.
