The meeting Asciepius exercise was difficult at first as I could not get a clear picture of my grandfather. I haven’t seen him in a long while so I decided to go get a picture of him to look at. I started the exercise over and had much more success with the visualization. I felt his presence, and felt the connection when he transferred me his wisdom. I always wanted to be just like him because he has had so much success in his life. Everything from his marriage to his career in the air force has been absolutely successful…dang near perfect if you ask me. I feel that this person has more wisdom to pass to me than anyone I know.
I still practice the loving kindness and the subtle mind exercise on a weekly basis. I still get chatter from time to time, but focusing on the breathing helps a lot. I am finding that it is getting easier and easier the more that I practice.
Having a mentor that has experienced the unity consciousness on a regular basis must makes things a lot easier. Having someone guide you that have not experienced this mind state cannot guide another. As a healthcare professional, it would not be morally or ethically right for me to guide an individual toward a level that I have not reached yet. I do feel obligated to reach that level so that I can show them with confidence.
Thanks for sharing this. My grandmother is the person I envisioned the first time I practiced this exercise. She was magnificent and taught me so much. She took care of everyone and held our family together. It was an honor imagining her wisdom being shared with me.
ReplyDeleteMitch,
ReplyDeleteI love what you said about your grandfather! That is awesome to have someone in your life to look up to like that. Especially that it is your own grandfather who has more wisdom to pass onto you than anyone you know ... thats so great. I hope you have more opportunities to learn about his wisdom.
