The top decorative rim is connected to the candlestick, yes, but it must be set at precisely that spot where contact is intangible. In other words, just short of [[connection]]. Close, but not quite. A hair's breadth. Then you set the entire candlestick on any designated spot, perhaps on a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantlepiece mantlepiece], or your bedside. You may elect to have a few of them in [[different]] parts of the house. If you opt to have more than one, you may dub the various candles as the entrance for various [[Teacher Corps|personalities]]. I.e., at our house in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butler,_Pennsylvania Butler, Pennsylvania], we had a mantlepiece in the living room upon which I set four candles: one for the [[midwayers]]; one for my personal teachers; one for the group teachers; and one for the big guys, [[Jesus]] and/or [[Machiventa]].

It is said that the [[midwayers]], who can tamper with the [[material]] world, use the candles to get our [[attention]]. Yes, of course, the [[UB]]'s message on [[superstition]], [[ghost cults]], and [[totems]] would indicate that such a thing is sheer poppycock. But even so, as [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1998-02-20-Evil#Teacher_Contact Malvantra said], it has its benefits. The ''candle experience'' comes when you [[observe]] when they choose to come on. For some, a candle will come on when they may be in the depths of [[despair]] and [[feeling]] desperately [[alone]], giving rise to a new surge in [[faith]]. For some, to [[awaken]] in the night ... even in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Night_of_the_Soul dark night of the soul] ... and see their candle glowing strong, out of the blue, is a [[sign]] that [[God]] is with them, deriving great [[comfort]]. Sometimes they feel that is an invitation to [[Stillness]], wherein they find the answer to what they had been [[struggling]] with or looking for. For those who pose a [[question]] at large, a specific candle may light to indicate which is the level of teacher who will reply..

The [[Butler TeaM]] used them extensively as [[social]] lubricants and cultural [[stimuli]]; we used them to help direct the [[agenda]]. It was not uncommon for the candles to bring us to [[order]] and light up or extinguish as the evening went on, orchestrating [[the Teachers]] as they came and went throughout the evening. The only setback ever found with it is the batteries and the light bulbs are quick to burn out and it is often [[difficult]] to find the special 4-watt bulbs off-season.
