    Dear EMC,

    What an excellent post!!! Mind if I include this one too in my next
    ABC.com update?

    >> responses pro and con, suggestions for enhancements, corrections of
    understanding all welcome and appreciated... <<

    Okay. :)

    >> Whatever you want to manifest will have an emotional tone. Even if it
    is an "external" accomplishment or condition, the end result is always
    something you anticipate experiencing or feeling as a result of your
    objective. <<
    >> Ultimately, for any of our goals, it's the experience of how we will
    feel that we are actually after. <<

    This is a VERY important point and the way you've phrased it is
    perfection. :)

    >> This emotional tone is going to fall into a broad category, but it
    will also be very specific to a particular objective.
    This tone can be used to build a symbolic representation. It is built
    using calibration with the tone... does it increase the intensity and
    quality of the tone or does it diminish it? You are not going to know
    intellectually what is going to symbolically create the best
    representation of this tone... you will have to cycle through imagery,
    color, form, sound, scent, taste and expression that arises intuitively,
    without judgment, to find the most powerful building blocks and final
    form for this "talisman." <<

    At the beginning of May, I had a visit from a couple of my closest
    Companions (Hello, L & C!), during which we were discussing, among other
    things, the direct perception of essential meaning. Much of that
    discussion is relevant here.

    EVERY *form* is a manifest expression of an essential meaning. In other
    words, *form* communicates something of significance to our perceptual
    faculties. We are always perceiving essential meaning every time we
    perceive a form of any kind, be it mental, astral or physical.
    Ordinarily, this perception is an unconscious experience and
    consequently, we are seldom aware of the fact that we are perceiving
    this essential meaning. Yet it informs our every perception in
    significant ways.

    As an experiment to demonstrate my point, I set out several small
    plastic figures in front of my visiting Companions. These were toy
    caricatures of different dinosaurs, a Godzilla, King Kong, the Hunchback
    of Notre Dame, and so on. Each one of them expressed a unique and
    easily identifiable "personality". For example, the little King Kong
    figure expressed a very gregarious personality, while the Hunchback
    expressed a hurt innocence.

    Each one of these figures communicated something about itself *through*
    the details of its particular *form*. This 'something' is its essential
    meaning. The *voice*, so to speak, of that essential meaning is the
    form's personality -- i.e., its *emotional tone*, to use your own term.

    The personality of each one of these figures is VERY easy to perceive,
    and because it "speaks" so loudly, it's also fairly simple to *directly*
    perceive the underlying essential meaning that their personality
    communicates.

    Having opened their awareness of this level of their own perceptual
    faculties, I asked my Companions to examine the forms of the other
    objects in the room and try to perceive *their* personalities and
    underlying essential meanings. Most of the other things in my living
    room (where we were seated at the time) don't "speak" themselves as
    loudly as the plastic figures do, until you get into the groove of this
    level of perception. But once you do get the grasp of it, EVERY form is
    expressive of an inner, essential meaning.

    This little experiment was quite a success! :) And unlike many things
    you see on television or at the movies, this IS safe to do at home. ;-)
    Seriously, I recommend this experiment! It's an excellent method for
    exercising the *whole* of one's perceptual faculties.

    At any rate, our conversation ventured onward, as it always does, and we
    landed on the topic of the Step Two sensory concentration exercises. I
    raised the point again that EVERY *form* expresses its essential
    meaning. This holds true for those forms we create with our imagination
    as well. When we visualize a gold box, for example, the *form* we have
    created possesses its own essential meaning, expressed through a
    perceivable personality (or "emotional tone"), all of which is inherent
    to its *form*. The essential meaning, in this case, comes from *us*,
    the creators of this image. It is our own *will* which establishes the
    essential meaning of "gold box" and it is our own mind from which the
    visual details are harvested which, in turn, adhere to this essential
    meaning and result in the visual *form* of the gold box.

    Therein lies an important mechanism of nature which magic takes full
    advantage of. Namely: when an essential meaning is created, it serves
    as a causation which will take *form*. The density that the form will
    reach depends upon the force of will which empowers the creation of
    essential meaning. For example, given sufficient power of will, the
    creation of the essential meaning inherent to 'gold box', will result in
    an astral-density image which we can see with our mind's eye.

    Nature herself takes care of adorning the essential meaning with
    appropriate astral materia, drawing it as I said, from our own mind's
    storehouse of images and emotional significance. As you pointed out so
    well, it's not something we can force or direct with the rational
    intellect alone. Nature directs the process, not us, and if we try to
    impose an ingredient that doesn't fit with the essential meaning, Nature
    rejects it for us.

    The same holds true for bringing an astral *form* into a physical
    density. Nature adorns the astral form with physical materia
    appropriate to the form's essential meaning. In other words, physical
    form is the result of essential meaning, not the other way around. If
    you alter the essential meaning, then the form changes apace; but if you
    alter the physical form alone, you do not thereby change the essential
    meaning -- all you do then is express it less clearly.

    In each of these natural transitions, from mental to astral-density and
    from astral to physical-density, the magician has the opportunity to aid
    Nature and to speed Nature's work by supplying a ready source of the raw
    materials that Nature works with. For example, one can accumulate the
    Earth Element (which contains Fire, Air and Water by nature) into an
    astral-density visualization, thus providing the raw materials it will
    need to gain physical density. Nature herself will see to it that what
    is needed is drawn from this source of raw materials, all the magician
    does is supply the resource -- s/he leaves to Nature that which is
    Nature's domain and doesn't try to micro-manage processes so complex
    that only Nature can manage them. :)

    In relation to the method you've described, you are providing the astral
    raw materials by searching through the mental images until one hits upon
    The Ones That Fit. :) The "emotional tone" you describe is the "voice"
    of the underlying essential meaning, which is given more complete *form*
    through this addition of one's own psychic contents.

    The result is a very fertile, multi-dimensional image of good astral
    density. Which, of course, is the best place to start from if your aim
    is to make this something a physical reality! :)

    Another method to reach the same result is to provide the raw materials
    through an accumulation of the Elements or Fluids, instead of offering
    up the contents of your own psyche as the source.

    >> These are re-usable constructs, and it seems valuable to collect a
    set of half a dozen or so that represent to you, at your current stage,
    the most valuable states of being you would like to experience in this
    existence. Perhaps when one is more advanced, this can be done easily on
    the fly. I've found at this point, I need to take time to construct and
    calibrate energy into these carefully, and in advance, for the greatest
    effect. It's like collecting a set of magical gems for one's personal
    "medicine bag." <<

    Yes, the initial phase of construction is very important because it's
    when the essential meaning is originally created and empowered. And
    when it comes to manifesting this astral gem in one's physical
    existence, the point of greatest leverage is right here, at the same
    point of creation -- i.e., empowering the essential meaning with one's
    force of will. In other words, the stronger the causation, the more
    certain the result. By re-enforcing the causation itself and providing
    the needed raw materials, Nature will take care of the rest. There's no
    need then to "pull it down", so to speak. No need to force it, because
    Nature thus aided, works surely and swiftly.

    I like your choice of the descriptor, "gem". Ideally, when you draw the
    gem from your magic bag, it appears with the degree of clarity that we
    normally associate with a finely cut gemstone.

    >> When you utilize any of these gems in the future, they are already
    attuned to the tone and they are easily energized, in fact, the work
    that went into their calibrated construction helps tap the energy they
    require in subsequent application. <<

    Yes! :) Because its *form* very clearly expresses its essential
    meaning, the voice of its personality is immediately perceived and one
    is strongly connected to the essential meaning itself. This completes a
    circuit of sorts and encourages the movement toward physical
    manifestation, whilst simultaneously re-enforcing the essential
    causation.

    >> Now if your medicine bag contains gems for the selected states that
    you feel represent all your highest aspirations of bliss at this stage
    of your learning, you can pull any one out at any time to impregnate the
    akasha around you. And then forget it. But at the end of the day,
    reflect back on when and where you might have tapped or brushed
    synchronistically across responsive notes of this frequency. Your
    medicine bag begins to seed the fabric of your routine existence with
    the highest aspirations you can conceive. (Although it can be used as
    effectively for more modest tones to gain facility with the technique.)
    <<

    :) Excellent!!! In effect, what you are doing here is providing the
    *physical* raw materials that Nature will require to make this essential
    meaning a physical reality (i.e., a factual part of your mundane
    existence). This is done by drawing the threads of your mundane life
    together (through introspective reflection) and subtly weaving them
    around this essential meaning. This act serves up a rich supply of raw
    material for Nature to draw from as she deems appropriate and fitting to
    the causation you've created.

    As before, another method that can be used in conjunction with this or
    in place of it, is to accumulate the Elements into your gem and supply
    the raw material less personally.

    >> If this sounds too abstract, a better way of getting a handle on the
    principle is through the use of your own personal sanctuary.
    Finding/building an interior environment that represents to you, most
    accurately, the feeling tone of "home." Not home remembered from
    childhood, but home that calls to you from the core of your being. Using
    this feeling tone as a guide you can learn how to interact with symbols
    and images during the construction of your sanctuary that calibrate with
    a single focus. After this, the gems may make more sense. <<

    This is indeed a VERY valuable practice, even if you have no problem
    understanding gems! :)

    >> To me, akasha is a holographic medium and it can be impregnated as a
    "whole" by centering awareness in the construct and feeling the
    expansion of boundaries in this energy extend to infinity. It is the
    kinesthetic equivalent of each of us being the center in an infinite
    universe. <<

    This is an excellent description, EMC.

    The 'center' of which you speak can also expand to encompass that entire
    infinity . . . and thus be conscious of the whole as 'self'.

    My best to you,
