As a Quaker I seek the light within, but that light shines outwards. I have a very strong image of grasping loving thoughts from the ether towards my heart, where they radiate outwards. This image appears whole to me, as it is a flow of light (love) in and out, in and out, all the time. I have been in confusion when to be inward (meditation) and when to be outward (shining?) This picture allows both at the same time and sees them as one.

Reaching out for love
Here is an idea which is just formulating. I had a very strong visual image of me plucking a set of ideas from ABOVE my head, rather than from my head. It seems to me that ego has largely taken over the mind, so that any response from INSIDE is likely to be flawed in some way. Thoughts from inside are separating! What if the TRUE ideas were OUTSIDE of us and all we have to do is recognise that and welcome them in? What if we can trust these ideas because they are from the universe, accessible to all and unifying? This is the germ of an idea, but I am trusting my visual imagery.
Access to the outside requires stillness, openness and determination to recognise what seems absurd (when compared to our conditioning). My current explorations are probably inexplicable. If this is so just go back and read the ebook. These explorations are two years into a process which has accelerated beyond my comfort zone recently. I lack the language to explain what is happening but am determined to go with very strong instincts. I am more content than at any time recently but also kind of disturbed with rapid changes which have a limited support network.
