00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:06,300
Many people have reported the
experience of visualizing either

2
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:11,300
in deep meditation or in what
may be called a dream state, or

3
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:17,200
a lucid dream state a house or
building, or even in some cases

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,300
a cave.
And when one enters into that

5
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:24,000
space, there are numerous
passages or doors.

6
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:28,700
And if one follows it up, all
kinds of information and

7
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:34,500
awareness is revealed CG Jung
explored what he called, the

8
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:38,800
collective unconscious and
others report, visualizing, a

9
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,200
massive repository of Scrolls or
books that each open up a branch

10
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:49,700
of knowledge about oneself about
the past the future, or about

11
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:54,400
some other time place or event.
These represent a cult or

12
00:00:54,700 --> 00:00:59,000
Mystical experiences of Realms
of Consciousness, transcribed.

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,099
To our external mental faculty
as moving through exploring

14
00:01:04,099 --> 00:01:07,900
rooms and tapping into the
knowledge, contained therein.

15
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:13,000
These are in fact, symbolic
experiences of actual events in

16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,100
Consciousness for the person
undergoing the experience.

17
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:22,100
The mother Builds on this to
show how one can contact the

18
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:27,500
soul through conscious process
of deep meditation and the use

19
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:32,700
of visualization techniques to
explore and open the door behind

20
00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:37,000
which the soul Consciousness,
the psychic being deep within

21
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,800
the being awaits.
The mother observes quote.

22
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:47,900
When I ask you to go deep down
within yourselves, some of you

23
00:01:47,900 --> 00:01:52,800
will concentrate on a sensation,
but Others May just as well have

24
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,700
the impression of going down
into a deep well, and they

25
00:01:56,700 --> 00:02:00,700
clearly see the picture of steps
going down into a dark and deep.

26
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:05,600
Well, then they go down farther
and farther deeper and deeper

27
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,800
and sometimes reach precisely a
door.

28
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:14,400
Please sit down before the door
with the will to enter and

29
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:19,200
sometimes the door opens and
then they go in and see a kind

30
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,100
of hall or a room or a cave or
something.

31
00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:27,000
And from there, if they go on,
they may come to another door

32
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:31,600
and again, stop and with an
effort, the door opens, and they

33
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,000
go farther.
And if this is done with enough

34
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,800
persistence, and one can
continue the experience, There

35
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,000
comes a time when one finds
oneself in front of a door,

36
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,800
which has a special kind of
solidity or solemnity and with a

37
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,400
great effort of concentration,
the door opens and when suddenly

38
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:59,200
enters a hall of clarity of
light and then one has the

39
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:05,600
experience you see.
Of contact with one's soul. and
