"We have been here for some [[time]] but this mortal’s [[brain]] is a bit like "rush hour [[traffic]]" this evening. It has been hard to get into the [[flow]] of things. Then, when we got in the lane of traffic, we had to stop for her babbling, so let’s see if we can help calm her down and enjoy the [[ambiance]] of your moment, and the [[fireplace]], which is a nice [[touch]], albeit noisy, which is yet another [[distraction]].

Student: "Last week you were talking about the [[electrochemical]] system and you said, ‘…having identified it, it then behooves you to have an appreciation of it such that you know how to take it in hand, so that it stays balanced.’ The question is in response to what you said. It is: ‘I'd be very interested in the "how" of this, how can we [[understand]] our "Electro-Chemical Make-Up"?’ I think the enquirer wants to know how we can do something about it, once we know about it."

"There was a [[motion picture]] about a group of individuals who became so tiny they were able to travel on a raft throughout the physical system of a human being.(1) The [[idea]] of being that intimately familiar with the inner workings of your [[body]] is a way to acknowledge and familiarize yourself with at least one large part of your electrochemical system – in particular, the way it responds to [[stimuli]] from [[electrical]] currents as well as [[chemical]] composition. Thus, there are three fields of [[thought]] we are going to braid together in response to this inquiry. Are you willing to go with me into this study?

"In your [[mind’s eye]], go into your [[inner life]] and [[prepare]] to set sail. Put your few paltry possessions in a pack and put them and yourself on a raft and we’ll paddle downstream. You might take the route through the lungs. As you inhale, you feel yourself push off from the shore, and you gently feel yourself being whooshed down into the chest. You can feel the sides of the cavernous lungs as if they were walls on either side of you. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlsbad_caverns Carlsbad Caverns], they are, you see, for they are wide, dark, and [[haunting]], but blood red and glistening with [[light]] from hidden sources, perhaps from the Source of Life Itself.

"[[Breathe]] and see the sides of your lungs tremble as they [[absorb]] those nutrients that are inhaled, and enter into the [[experience]]. With the [[breath]] of life, enter now into the [[blood]] stream, which will take this air in and through the body, beginning from the lungs, now out into the [[rivers]] and streams of your vessels and through your muscles. Follow your muscles; go down through your muscles and feel them. Travel through them. Can you pass, or is there a knot? Is there a [[knot]] in your muscle? Is the knot from overwork? Have you been [[exercising]]? Do they feel taut to the [[touch]]? Is there elasticity there? Is the color good? Do they [[feel]] well? Can they hold you up and do what you need them to do for you? What are you doing for your muscles, so that they can in turn do for you when your mind bids them respond to your [[mind]]’s [[commands]]?

"Well, there you are; you are in your [[body]]. You can travel through it; you can visit your bowels; you can visit your [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastrointestinal_Tract gastrointestinal system]; you can visit your [[heart]]; your lungs; even your head. Where am I hurting? How does that work? Why, when I pull this, does that act that way? What’s behind this door? What’s under that flap? When you are able to travel through your body without losing your way, you know it well enough to master it.

"By this [[method]], now, you are able to go into every fiber of your [[body]], every aspect of your [[physical]] [[being]]. You are able to go into your aching places and ask what the [[problem]] is. You are able to learn to heal your [[errors]] of a physical nature. You will be able to heal your infirmities. I have not set these words into motion for the [[purpose]] of delivering [[false]] [[hope]]. I have spoken those words to those of you who feel capable of becoming master over all you [[purvey]], your body being a part of that [[domain]]. Giving yourself dominion over yourself gives you the credibility of your own [[authority]], for no one can tell you what to do -- No one can tell you what to do but you. -- and allow it to be from your own personal [[integrity]].

"But that is quite a [[study]]. This is not one of those lessons you accomplish in a 15-minute [[meditation]] session. In the meanwhile, you do not want to be without cognizance of the [[body]], for when you lose cognizance of your body, it [[betrays]] you. Why is that? That is because it seeks [[self-gratification]]. It knows nothing of concern for others. It knows nothing of [[compassion]]. It has no concern even for [[hatred]]. It has only its own interests at heart. It does not have [[free will]]. It wants only to [[survive]]."

Bob: "That’s a good [[analogy]]. And like an [[infant]], the body will tell you what it needs, if you [[listen]]. It is not that difficult! Just do [[remember]] to take time for [[Stillness]], for this is something you can do when you visit Stillness. Make it a [[practice]] to be able to move through [[the universe]] of your body without losing your way, and then you are free to lift off, to other Ports of Call."

Andrea: "There is no reward for being concerned about the passing of [[time]] during [[meditation]], but it does pay to remain patient. There is a natural inclination of (human) [[biorhythmic]] variance to either positively, or negatively [[influence]] the [[flow]] of [[co-creative]] juices and the [[clarity]] in any transmission. And since we [[Midwayers]] came into existence well before just yesterday, we know it, recognize it, and allow for it by modifying our approach. This is Andrea, George, and it's good to spend much time with you before we begin.

"There are times when the rhythm of either the material, the expressive, or the spiritual may be on an awkward downward stroke, and when it may take a little while for exchange to begin to take place. And today it took us a little while to achieve that contact, and I want you to understand that there will be times when it does take us longer than is normal. Well nothing much is in a great hurry in the universe we all live in, so just relax and let it flow now.

"I want to speak to you today about "Friendship." Friendship, as it is generally implied, is based on understanding, acceptance, long-term trust, perhaps respect and admiration, potentially a great love, and there you have "Friendship" as it is widely recognized, and a complex mixture of feelings and of relating. And they are true feelings - emotions - you can express directly towards another or others in your immediate surrounds, and within yourself, but also to those who are afar.

"In our providing the very basic building blocks for world peace and universal welfare, the acceptance of only a certain kind of individual who shares our mind, our ideals, our beliefs, our outlook, or religion is not enough. It is important for us to accept those of all different viewpoints, as each of us has a different background, different parentage, personality, a different environment in which we are educated, and we may not understand another's thinking, or even their [[language]].

"These varied factors should never become the barrier that places us apart, for these many others are here to also learn the lessons, to become the members of the tribes, the families, the nations that all, with a common goal, make their way to the Father, and no one is more important in His eyes than is another. Strong personal beliefs can so often break the lines of communication between those who would otherwise develop a friendship.

"In essence what I am here 'lecturing about' - with a smile on my face as I say this - is tolerance. For the human members of His family it is of no lesser importance to display in kind to the great amount of tolerance we have learned to exhibit when we receive all, and exclude none in our acceptance of you, our mortal cousins. Yet there is much more required than just tolerance.

"Feel within your heart the love that 'rains down' from our Creator Father to you, and in some way you'll find the means to spread this love overtly and anonymously, and all around, and He will give you even more. And with it you will have produced in your small way, to your ability, as best you can, 'the here below' as it is 'above'.

"Continue to reach out, and on each morning determine anew that you will reach out in love and foster friendships with all in this way, 'semblant of' (resembling) what it is above. This is Andrea. It's good to be with you, and it will be a pleasure for me to stay with you for a time. In friendship."
