"Before bed you imagine your mind like an ocean upon which you could walk ..."

[inavalan]

"Your enthusiasm is excellent. However, your enthusiasm can cause waves that can go up and down. You want a quiet surface. It would help you if before bed you imagine your mind like an ocean upon which you could walk. All feelings are on the waters, you are above. Then imagine yourself walking on the water, listening with your inner ear and using inner eyes. You should hear voices and see a figure on the horizon... let the figure come closer... Do not run. Relax and let the figure come to you.

When the figure comes closer let him speak first. You are then using your own enthusiasm and are in control of it. If you develop properly you will understand when the figure speaks. The figure is a person you have known who will help you in your own endeavors... It will not appear until you are ready... Your own abilities must be developed enough so that the meeting takes place.

When this meeting takes place you will know how to proceed, and the figure will indeed be three-dimensional in this mind image of which I am speaking. Now this person is an old friend—and I mean old —of mine... He will help you.

Follow the exercise... each night. It need not be lengthy... just before sleep. Do not strain if for a while you see a dark figure and the horizon... This is a symbolic exercise... but there is truth in the symbolism.

Some of this concerns data I gave you in the last session you witnessed... It will give you confidence and control. Take careful note of sights and sounds."
