Rayson: Kind of like [[leading]] a horse, isn’t it? (Or a cat.) Let’s try a horse first. You have the [[bridle]] in your hands, and you are standing before the horse and you look the horse in the eye and you go, "Click, click." [Transcriber’s note: I do not know how to spell the sound he made! The sound horse trainers use by sucking and stopping the flow of air between their molars and tongue. ] And the horse moves ahead. They’re on the same path, They’re making progress! There might be another instance where you go, "Click, click" and the horse doesn’t move, so you tug on the bridle a little bit, and that doesn’t work, or maybe it does work. And so the [[progression]] goes until you get behind the horse, lead with the bridle and pull It’s tail, urging it along. One must look into the heart of those sitting to the left and right of you in discerning how much "giddy-up" you want to give them. Too much and it would be overbearing and then you would lose them, and they would bolt and you would have lost the [[opportunity]], and the bridle would be out of your hand. But discerning rightly, seeing correctly, you can use the right amount of "giddy-up" and they will walk beside you, and they will be on the same [[path]] as yourself. Continue to work with this. This is a good, excellent place to be in close proximity to others, to be in personal distance to speak with them, to test your skills of [[guidance]], [[leadership]], both for yourself and for others and to [[discern]] within their hearts and within yourself on how to [[proceed]], and will to [[do the Father’s will]] in all of that. This is the workshop of much great [[wisdom]] and guidance and skill development. And you are congratulated to do this, and do it gently and as it is appropriate. Others?

Student: We can ask [[the Father]] to speak through us, ask Him to give us the [[seeds]] to plant this day, in this circumstance. (Very similar to what was suggested by [[doing the Father’s will]].) I had a rather discerning service I’ve been going to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unitarian_Universalism Unitarian/Universalist Church] and we started adult education classes last Sunday. And I was using that as my weather vane for discerning my classmates and their degree/level of [[participation]] and desire to be there it was most [[enlightening]]! (Rayson: What did you need to move ahead?) To let the Father speak through me. There were some circumstances where I felt compelled to respond and I asked for help in responding and it was there. (Would anything happen if you did not have [[courage]] to speak?) Certainly the words that I was given would not have come forth. (Correct. So if you do not see [[resistance]], then you are encouraged to move ahead. And if you move ahead, then it requires courage to decide to do so. What I am saying is, if you don’t see [[resistance]], move ahead, take courage and speak. What you are encouraged not to do is be wilting flowers and say, "Oh, they might not want to listen to me" or "I might not have anything important to say" or "They are probably going to resist me." And that is nay-saying and works against you.

Student: That was my normal position throughout most of my life.

Student: That was my normal position throughout most of my life.

Rayson: Would you stand up with me please, I will show you. You do not have to ask for it or [[receive]] it, but stand like this: [stands with arms straight out to sides and tips head back, looking up toward ceiling]. And you should fairly glow in this position. Arms out-stretched, as though this were the [[equator]] of your own merkaba. And the flow of energy, from [[the universe]] to earth center, through you, passing in both directions through your vertical core. And you are already a merkaba, you don’t need to ask for it; I [[hope]] that you can visualize it, however. It may help you to draw this upon a piece of paper, as this will instruct your brain [[visualization]] construct in a much more concrete way. If you stand here with head held high, looking up to [[the Father]]’s love, grounded in the [[earth]], arms out-stretched as a wind vane to catch the flow of energy in the universe, and see it [[flow]] through you, you can do many things, and feel many things. Does this help? (Yes, thank you.)

I don’t suggest or to mean that you have to do this during [[meditation]], but simply to [[visualize]] your own self doing this or being this way, in your meditation will help you [[unfold]] yourself to the [[reception]] of great amounts of energy. You can also do this while sitting in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_position lotus position], too. This is why that position is so powerful, there is a combining or holding in of energy, by holding your fingers together, your feet crossed, and your base chakra connecting with earth and your crown chakra connecting with the heavens. Other questions?

Student: Rayson, you spoke in your lesson about the [[discernment]] being a double-edged sword; this troubles me. Could you clear my misunderstanding?
