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 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 raising 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. Usually thought patterns are excuses and
justifications for past errors. These form a hard shell around the faults. You
can break that by being aware of the light as opposed to being caught up with
thought.
