Re: a question about the eucharist

["Alan Cook" <fish_studios@...>]

Dear beginner,

>> I went over the eucharist questions and replies and I couldn't find
any specific direction of the working of the excercise. Could you
please give an expample of the thought process of transfering the the
idea into the food? <<

As far as a detailed description of *how* to transfer your idea into
the food or water, I'm not sure you will find any. Magic is a
personal experience and practice. The transfer of your idea into the
food is an act of Will. You simply let it happen. Now that I try to
explain this, I find that I can't really find the words for it. :)

It simply happens as it should. There's no forcing, it happens
naturally almost. You formulate the idea or desire, concentrate on
it, and then impregnate the food with it. You Will the idea into the
food. It's not so much a thought process, as it is a perception.

I think that you may be analyzing the exercise a bit too much. I did
that a lot when I first read IIH. But once I let go of all
preconceived notions of how I thought an exercise should go or what
the experience should be like, it became much easier and clearer. In
most of the Step I exercises, it's about letting go of these things,
especially the Vacancy of mind exercise. Let go of how you *think*
the impregnating of the food should be done and simply *do* it.

Hope that helps.
