Mark:  Recently some [[friends]] exposed me to this [[book]] about a subject called [http://www.scribd.com/doc/47288/List-of-Switchwords switch-words]. A brief summary in my estimation is the attempt to take what many [[cultures]] have done with [[things]] like [[mantras]], [[prayers]], [[chants]] and [[rituals]] that are formed to kind of guide you into a [[spiritual]] place. Through the use of a switch-word, the [[idea]] is to condense that [[process]] into a single word. Through [[practice]] and repetition, one uses this chosen word in [[association]] with the practice of, in this case, trying to come to some togetherness with my [[Thought Adjuster|Indwelling Voice]]. The word that stuck out to me was the word '[[together]]'. If you use this word in conjunction with your attempts and your [[Work|efforts]] to find that [[spiritual]] aspect of yourself and come together then this word becomes associated with this [[act]] and the word is a stepping stone into the act, it is a [[leader]] into the act. And so I started [[experimenting]] with that and I invite you all to consider at  some point in the next week, using this word 'together' when you [[desire]] to have contact with you [[Thought Adjuster|higher self]], some kind of working 'together' with that greater part of you, bringing both parts of you 'together'. I found it to be kind of a [[powerful]] [[tool]], another tool in the toolbox to find routes and avenues of approach to where we're going.

Prayer: [[Divine]] [[Parents]], thank you so much for the many layers of [[experience]] that you provide to us so that we may [[grow]] and develop our [[spiritual]] [[awareness]] as we are ready to take the steps to do so. I would [[express]] my [[intention]] at this [[time]] to work together with my Indwelling [[Father Fragment]], to work in unison, in [[partnership]] and to join in common pursuit and [[purpose]]. I'd like to petition you in this [[manner]] because I see the [[purpose]] in stating the [[word]] and having created the [[intention]] and in following through with the [[Action|deed]]. And so I would state my purpose at this time. I ask you to bring forth any contribution that you might have to this [[process]], to this [[experiment]] we are engaged in even at this [[moment]]. I trust in you and in this process and in this partnership and this partner who I would like to come 'together' with at this time. Thank you.

The Voice: [Mark] Thank you for this request and this invitation. I accept and I am [[happy]] to come together with you at any time you will make the time. I [[honor]] your [[observation]] and the [[value]] of using phrases, [[words]], [[exercises]], smells, [[sounds]], [[thoughts]] or any other means by which you will make an effort to remind yourself to join me. I am always here and you do not summon me by any of these means but rather these means are significant in summoning you to be in a [[state]] where such coming together can happen. I am in [[support]] of anything that it takes to help you in this [[process]]. I fully [[understand]] that it represents the [[desire]] of your [[heart]] to join me and that you are struggling with your [[Human Condition|material condition]] to find me many times but I [[assure]] you this entire process gets easier and easier and more and more comfortable, that you truly have traveled over the most difficult part of [[Unknown|unknowingness]]. Now you [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Senses#Smell.2C_Taste.2C_and_Touch taste] regularly, even frequently this spiritual contact and this brings you the assurance and comfort that you have made progress and that this entire process may be grown comfortable with and cease to be such an apparent struggle.
