success in stillness, as you are able to relax the surface busyness which has to
do with your immediate concerns, as you gain the ability to relax this, my son,
you are in a sense rising into your higher consciousness, broader and deeper,
and here is where you can contact and feel our spirit input.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Here is where the spiritual functions of
intuition and understanding and courage come into consciousness ever more
distinctly.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Also, right where your
higher consciousness in a sense fades away, you have the input from your Father
Fragment, the presence of God within your mind, literally helping you form
thoughts--which is why we call His presence a Thought Adjuster.<SPAN

thoughts more spiritualized--broader, more creative and spontaneously
appropriate to the present. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Keep in

realm of creative origins, His and yours. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>

</SPAN>So as you meditate, as you still your physical and mental aspects, you

reflect.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is one of the
functions, if not the main function of meditation.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Stillness means allowing your
physical/mental aspects--so closely interrelated--to rest and calm; which does
take a decision and determination in the face of other immediate demands on your
time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It also takes courage
to slow down and come to a stop under pressure, and begin to exercise your
faith.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will at first be acting
on the evidence of things unseen, sitting down in the faith this will do some
good; this relaxing of any pressing demands can lead to greater spiritual
sustenance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We even called it a
home base one time, something you slowly accumulate that comes into being as a
product of your meditation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

reassurance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
