The
hand-raising exercise is only a means to an end.
The
process of imagery is only to inaugurate a chain reaction of responses touched
off by conscious awareness.
When
your hand begins to rise, it is evidence of an energy value originating within
you.
Once
you discover that, by concentrating through the middle of the forehead, you
can affect bodily responses and then imagery is no longer necessary. A parable
is to convey a meaning. Once the meaning is conveyed, the parable can be put
aside to prevent the blockage of new understanding that would grow from the
meaning.
Once
you get the principle, thinking of your arm rising will prevent growth of new
"thought stuff” (understanding) just being aware of the patterns of light
and color that you see in your mind and projecting them, as it were, into the
tingling of your hands, is all that is necessary. Superimpose this light
pattern over your thoughts; you will see thoughts and silly images dancing
before your mind to distract you from this process of observing them.
The
patterns of light are etheric "computer" data that replace the
"lying" imagination. In fact, writing with that light on your mind
breaks the spell of distracting thought patterns and excuses that once
protected the key to future faulty action. The light pattern displaces the
seething glue pot of imagination and excuse making.
It
goes on to affect every cell and nerve fiber in your being. This light is
similar to the light waves of environmental pressure that affect your body
adversely, except in reverse. That is, it reverses the negative effects of pressure
and imparts an intelligent pattern of unfoldment. It cancels out the wild,
unreasonable responses to unreasonable external pressures. The evidence of a
Higher Presence in meditation is a change in breathing. If you were under
outside pressure and were responding, your breathing would show this also.
With
concentration, you inherit power to break the pattern of thought stuff that
holds you to unwanted habit patterns.
