The Simple Technical Practice of Conductivity   Let the Spirit Carry the Body While the Mind Enquires The technical practice of conductivity, or the action of bodily surrender into the All-Pervading Life-Current or Spirit Radiance, is a science that must be artfully economized or controlled. That art is the free or random application of the three parts of bodily conductivity in formal meditation and in the moment to moment process of daily life. The bodily practice of conductivity must always be founded on prior and present understanding. And it must always be a support or base for the primary activity, which is the conscious process of understanding. (The conscious process is the action of mind or, attention. It may at first take the form of true prayer, but it must ultimately take the form of enquiry, or "real meditation.") The process of conductivity, the life-practice of equanimity, and the phenomena that arise in the course of these practices must never be embraced for their own sake, but always on the basis of understanding and as servants of the conscious process of understanding. Likewise, the practice of conductivity must not be done in a mechanically repetitive or robot-like manner. It must be applied artfully, randomly, freely, and profoundly, on the basis of spontaneous responses that develop in the moment to moment observation of the Spirit-Power in the conditions and states of existence. Finally, the practice of conductivity must truly be surrender into the All-Pervading and Living Divine Spirit-Force. Thus, one must not become rigidly preoccupied with the act or the bodily technicalities of conductivity. Rather, one must be bodily preoccupied with the Spiritual Divine. Therefore, practice the technical science or exercise of conductivity in a spontaneously artful manner. Find or locate the Spirit in the present. Feel It, relax into It, and breathe It. Let the Spirit-Current "carry" you bodily. Be moved emotionally and bodily by the Spirit-Force. Let the Radiant Life-Spirit fill and balance and heal and calm and move you, bodily and totally. Let the Living Current Bless you, Awaken you, and Transform you. And while floating in mutual Embrace with the Divine Spirit, engage attention in the conscious process (wherein all conditions and limitations are transcended in the Radiant Transcendental Being). The Spirit-Presence is Found by Grace. The Company, the Argument, and the Teaching Work of the Spiritual Master are the principal Agents of Transmission or Grace. Practice of the Way is made possible through the Grace that Radiates via these human Agencies of the Divine. Therefore, practice of the Way should be engaged within the culture of these Agents of Grace. Constantly resort to the Spiritual Master (who is perpetually at Work in the form of universal Spiritual Radiation). Constantly serve and participate in the culture of practitioners. Constantly study the Argument and the Instruction of the Spiritual Master. Cultivate access to the Spiritual Master, the Community of mature practitioners, and the Sanctuaries that have been made Potent by the Spiritual Master for the sake of all beings. Thus, by resorting to the Agencies of Transmission and serving them well, Find and Receive the tangible Blessing of the Spirit-Radiance. Let the Spiritual Divine be Found again and again by these means, and you will gradually become able to Locate that Radiance bodily under all conditions. Then, in every moment in which the Spirit is Found, surrender bodily and with free feeling into that Radiant Field. And in every moment - whether the Spirit is potent, weak, or apparently absent - serve the Spiritual Master (in his person and in all beings), consider his Argument, understand, and practice the conscious process.     Back to What Is The Conscious Process - A Beezone Study
