Abstract

Bill Tiller has defined the continuum of energies from zero to infinity-with the fulcrum, the still point, being at the speed of light. Everything which lies to the right (slower than light) defines the material realm; everything to the left (faster than the speed of light) exists in the spiritual domain of subtle energies. The mirror mind resides at the fulcrum. It is the mirror of Alice in Wonderland. It is the passage point in meditation, going from preoccupation with personality into the stiH silence and plenitude of the spiritual mind. Our task is to heal the planet by healing ourselves. Our task is to identify and release the burdens of learned inhibition and selfishness, so that the natural buoyancy of the soul can rise up. Once that has happened we traverse the mirror of the mind into the spiritual realms. More than that, we open the crown chakra to an inpouring of inspiration, light and goodness from the realm above. It is Jacob's ladder with the angels (and ourselves) ascending and descending in ever continuing evolution from below upward and an ever continuing inspiration from above to below. But this is not a matter of the higher educating to the lower; it is in fact a balanced partnership in which we are guided by the high agencies above, but we are also (being those who learn and experience in this material part of the Cosmos) those who can transmit and teach the angels above. This address will contain the schema for this which derives from the core-essence of all spiritual pursuits, all religions; it will also be enriched by examples from the lives of patients, including the patient called "myself."
