hullo, some might wonder why I am taking ages deliberating over each bit, it is because you cannot rush this path, (perhaps john ralph in response about auras... might be interested that after 6 months working with one of steiners meditations that includes a bit of visualization, I suddenly saw these vivid shining light energy/ auras around everything, it lasted for a few days and then things were ,normal, but if I focus I can see it again.)

                        I was walking on the beach today wondering how many years of observing flourishing and decaying things will it take before I get what I'm supposed to be getting, I was looking at the seaweed, the new fresh seaweed washed up from the tide, and the old crusty seaweed weathered by time.......then I saw amongst it a dead bird, that felt like decay....nothing to fear, just less of the spirit in the physicality as if spirit has withdrawn and dwells on another plane,and has left the carcass to rot to become part of earth and sand and dust again....I think we will become aware of more and more deeper dimensions as we keep on with this exercise. but we can however move on to the next one simultaneously.

                                another important point is orientation to the spiritual world.......

         we have to fill our minds with the idea that feelings and thoughts are facts as real as tables and chairs. this is good to think about once a day.
