Thanks for the reply Justin (reply #40).

In the late 80's after I had made a decision to put my energies into learning about the soul, and when I was beginning to understand how to make conscious contact with what I term my oversoul

(that part of my self which is accessed by turning the awareness into itself and upward, and reaching up to the conscience/crown centre, then within and above the conscience and up the silver cord. The oversoul is that part from which I extend as a sort of pseudopod. We all have such a cord and an oversoul from which we extend, like every leaf has a stem and a twig from which it extends. The oversoul communicates with us via the conscience - not the false one that reflects in the emotions, but the true one in the crown centre, which is like a skylight at the inner upper pinnacle of our being, and is our highest sense of what is good and right to do. As far as the individual soul is concerned, the oversoul is qualitatively identical to God.)

and when I was beginning to learn about out-of-body process and the workings of the soul and personality layers and learning to better meditate and pray, I made a particular decision in myself, while in prayer to God / in communion with my oversoul. I stated to my oversoul that whatever I would be given to experience and learn, that I wanted to experience and learn it only on the condition that I could understand the workings of whatever I would learn about, and be able to clearly communicate those workings to others. And so I made a decision/request/pact with my God that I did not want to experience anything or learn anything without understanding it and being able to communicate and explain it clearly to others. That was the condition I put on my learning. And that has been granted me, thank God. And I do not say this boasting, but just as a matter of fact, that now I can explain the workings of everything I have learnt, and clearly the methods and techniques I have used, and how they interact with the workings. The map or layout and workings of the oversoul and soul, cord, counsciousness, intelligence, mind, breath, the centres, the several bodies, and how they all work and interact is quite clear to me, and of other things too, and I can explain their workings all quite easily, but not because I am smart or clever, but because I made that decision with God in prayer and would not accept my learning without that condition.   

The reason I tell this now, is because it might assist others. So many have experiences and can describe them, but cannot explain it, how it works, why it works, what it is. Describing something is not explaining its workings. And so they can't explain the workings of what they do to others, nor provide the instructions on techniques and methods of how to make use of those workings. They might describe what they do, but cannot explain the workings or mechanism of what they are working with and why it works.

Prayer is more powerful than most people know it to be. 

Interestingly and unexpectedly, the effect spilt over into other fields of my life, so that everything I know I also became good at explaining it and teaching it to others. I can see how knowledge and skills are ordered, and can simplify things and explain them in the way they are naturally arranged. I have no particularly high qualifications, and yet, just because I can explain things well, I have been asked to provide presentations and courses on various subjects, and doors opened and I have found myself teaching classes about things I could never have imagined beforehand and to people I would not have imagined I would ever teach things.

I am not boasting, for the credit is not mine, and I am certainly not criticising those who may not understand how things work and may not explain or teach them very well, I am just telling how I came to be able to do it, so that others might benefit from it. It is not a natural ability of mine, but the result of a condition I place upon my learning, in prayer, to be able to understand, explain and clearly communicate whatever I might learn.

  Admittedly the latter posts not much at all. I was going to erase some of my offtopic posts here, but see that it was already done.
