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.
