Higher States...

Higher States....

When Higher States occur it is like flying 

when before one was walking. 

Ordinary thinking is like walking aimlessly,

first going in one direction and then in another and 

for no apparent reason. 

It is based on Imagination. 

There usually is little or no effort.

It yields little or no fruit to the understanding.

Meditation or directed thinking, runs and walks.

Intent on reaching its aim. 

It uses Reason. 

It requires much effort. 

It yields a little fruit to the understanding.

Higher States Fly, Soar and Marvel. 

They use Understanding and revelation. 

They require NO effort on the part of the body,

except to "Be Still" 

They yield a multitude of fruit to the understanding. 

They soar above Reason, 

and pluck understanding beyond reason. 

Then dilute it down to the Reason, 

which releases it 

into the world 

of 

Imagination.
