ROLAND: Thank you, Abraham. (INAUDIBLE)..I find that telling of experiences seem to be of interest because (inaudible) the story behind it. The thing that has changed in my experience, that has transformed me is (INAUDIBLE--I think Roland is asking about transcendental--Eastern practices of meditation ) meditation, to allow the Indwelling Spirit to communicate at some level in the conscious mind a direction of the spiritual path. That is a concept that is foreign to the western mind. Do you have some suggestions as to how we can approach that?

ABRAHAM: Yes, the word, the *stillness*, may perhaps be too foreign, whereas meditation is more recognized. Just as with prayer, the simple talk with the Father and a moment of receiving is really all one needs to start with. Yes, you are correct, the *stillness* is very important to contact the Indwelling Father Fragment, but I would suggest that with this *stillness* exercise inform the newcomer, beginners, that this exercise is not supernatural, is not mysterious, is not going to be miraculous.
