still and quiet. Feel it's weight ... a pendulum has weight and mass, although very light. Gravity pulls the gem and chain straight down toward the center of the earth. Wonderful! You are doing very well, Alice. Just keep your whole hand and arm still as ever you can. "Watch the gem ... watch it's sparkly reflection. Soon I predict that without any effort at all it will begin to swing. Watch it carefully, but don't try to move it on purpose. Watch it now as it begins swinging back and forth all by itself ... all by itself ... watch for it ... watch ... there," Zarah observed, and indeed the crystal had begun a swing. Alice was motionless in her chair, and I noticed that Mary was watching the swinging stone as well. "Now again, without any effort at all, we'll cause that back-and-forth motion to become circular, the straight line of light will curve, curve more and more, becoming an oval, than a circle, as the gem swings round and round ... round and round ... round and around." The stone followed the directions, changing directions quicker and quicker, until all Zarah had to do was intone "circle," "across" and "back-and-forth," and Alice's hand would respond.

It's a pleasant sensation to let the world fade away and focus down the light path. "You'll soon notice a tendency for the swinging pathway to rise slowly right up in the air, for that gem to swing up slowly in front of you higher and higher, rising up ... swinging up ... there, it begins now. Remember, you exert no effort at all, the rise is automatic ... all you have to do is watch it happen. Watch the light rise and swing, swaying back ... and ... .forth ... so slowly and steadily, slo-o-o-owly and steadily ... " That special powerful silence had spread through the office. Two pairs of eyes followed the gem as Zarah's voice grew deeper and slower, more insistent, continuing her litany, We watched as Alice' hand began lifting the chain higher. Her eyes were round, and she seemed amazed, as if she really didn't understand why the pendulum lifted. "As the light floats higher and higher in front of you, you may hear the soft sound of deeper and deeper breathing in the room at this point ... deep,Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
