>*	Elyon:  The practice you speak of, the observance of

>thought of as turning 180 degrees in the opposite direction, 
>meditatively speaking.  It is the focus upon the Father, the 
>divine presence.  It is the opening for the reception of spirit 
>embrace.  The two practices are complementary, for meditation of

>presence.  It sharpens you to the recognition of the subtle 
>proximity of spirit.  When static of the mind is too great 
>spirit is hard to hear.  However, any discipline that clears the
