Q: I’m trying to integrate George’s ideas of the ‘construct’ with my current practice of *stillness*. Both seem necessary and lead to the same place. I find the ‘construct’ is very helpful on helping me eliminate my analytical mind from my Stillness practice. Yet, elements of *stillness* seem--of the steps that I have been given to conduct *stillness*--seem very important. So should I alternate the use of both? Or somehow try and find a way to combine the two together in a personal practice?

Q: I’m trying to [[integrate]] [[George Barnard|George’s]] ideas of the ‘construct’ with my current [[practice]] of [[stillness]]. Both seem necessary and lead to the same place. I find the ‘construct’ is very helpful on helping me eliminate my [[analytical]] mind from my Stillness practice. Yet, elements of stillness seem--of the [[steps]] that I have been given to conduct stillness--seem very important. So should I alternate the use of both? Or somehow try and find a way to combine the two [[together]] in a personal practice?

ABRAHAM: I can say, there is really no one way for everyone. You may [[experiment]], and then [[choose]] what is best for you. The [[idea]] of the ‘construct’ is a wonderful way to take the [[steps]] into stillness, but we have to keep in the forefront of our [[minds]] the overall reason we practice stillness. That is, our [[contact]] with Father - the [[realization]] that he is in us and we in him. It as an exchange of [[divine]] [[love]] and [[knowledge]]. You and your Parent [[Adjuster]] may want to practice several different ways, but the practice is good mindal [[discipline]] to keep your [[focus]] on the spirit realm and off of the daily grind. Yes.
