    Dear David,

    I was at first reluctant to reply to your post, because I too am at
    the same stage and as such do not feel it is my place to offer
    any 'advice'. On the other hand, sometimes it is easier for someone
    who is at the same level of development to understand where you are
    coming from in terms of your concerns.

    Anyway, what I have written below is more me trying to figure the
    exercise out in my own head than any sort of advice; I'll leave that
    to those who know what they are talking about :-)

    Firstly, the trait which you choose to inhale must be chosen for a
    reason. For example, you would probably not choose a trait which you
    felt did not need much work. You mentioned 'opneness'. Why did you
    choose that trait? I am assuming because you would like to become
    more 'open' in whatever sense is meaningful to you.

    Now if you feel that in your mundane personality, you could be more
    open, then that is something which you have decided to work on. Why
    then do you feel a resistance to acknowledging the fact that it is
    something you need to develop? You use the word 'deficient'; perhaps
    that is not the best way to think of it due to the negative
    connotations of the word. Maybe, being linked to the Universe as a
    whole, we have immediate access to all the traits we desire, they
    are already a part of us, but we need to learn to access them, to
    flick the switch, to bring the trait down from higher planes into
    our mundane existence.

    If this is the case, then imagining the trait as strongly, as
    vividly, as powerfully as we can tunes us into the vibration of that
    trait. I presume we are allowing this trait to swell and accumulate
    within the astral ether because it is the representative of the
    spiritual plane manifest on the plane of our emotions, which is the
    best place for enhancing one's personality.

    Now, if I understand the exercise correctly, we *start off*
    imagining the trait accumulating in the astral ether of the air
    around us, and so our thoughts, tuning in to the relevant vibration,
    bring about the desired trait within the air, and we are not,
    therefore, projecting it from within ourselves.

    If this is true, I believe it helps to solve your concern about
    developing the trait *within* yourself and then projecting it out
    into the air, only to breathe it in again. This is not what we are
    actually doing (if my theory is right). We are using our thoughts to
    help guide down the congruent vibrations from a higher plane,
    focussing them into the astral ether of the air around us, and then
    breathing in that air and hence the trait impregnated within the
    ether which then is absorbed into our physical body.

    >From there I usually imagine it spreading into my astral body and
    then my mental body, resulting in a complete circuit: we use our
    thoughts to bring the trait down from the mental plane into the
    astral plane and then breathe it into our bodies, and so grounding
    it in the physical. By imagining the trait spreading throughout my
    three bodies, I believe that the process which occured in the
    macrocosm is happening in reverse in the microcosm.

    I don't know if any of this rambling makes sense to you, or even if
    any of it is correct - it is simply how I, at my present (very
    early) stage of spiritual development, see this exercise.

    Martin
