Let us say I hold a desire to learn to repair cars. This is intent. When the intent is placed - e.g. the course of my life path is now adjusted so that cars are available for repair. I may work with others as an apprentice (at first) and while I may consider them "teachers", it is I who actually perform the actions that lead to my mastery of car repair.
I have many tools that I learn to use in the course of repairing many cars. So that I am perfectly clear: none but I teach me to repair the cars. The masters of car repair I work with do not auto-magically bestow me with their knowledge and experience. I do that myself. While they may offer me pointers and tips blah blah blah, only I - through my hands on experience - teach myself to car repair mastery.
The tools and skills I use in the course of my journey to car repair mastery are of course transferable. Once I understand the mechanical process of changing an oil filter, I understand the principle in its entirety. There is no difference in principle between an oil filter wrench and a pipe wrench.
And so too with the skills we learn in "these" realms. The skills associated with non-physical navigation are transferable. That we may use these skills in the course of an afterlife retrieval means we also have sufficient mastery of these tools for other purposes.
In having placed intent on "afterlife retrieval" or gathering infos about a target (like these exercises) is no different from the intent to be a car mechanic. The intent, once placed, is enough. It is up to us to go forward. Or not.
Some find themselves in the auto garage with complete access to car repair mastery and decide:
I'd rather play concert piano. We are free to change our paths at any time. We may even find that, in the world of a concert pianist, it is necessary to change the tire of our car. And because of our experience, we have the tools available to us to use a jack and a tire wrench.
Such as it is as we step into greater awareness of ourselves as multidimensional beings.
If i well understand your post from my mediocre english, i would add that im not so sure to be agree with your analogy as learning to fix cars is a joke if we compare this skill with such a subjective and still not really understood phenomena like we are dealing here no ?... (But again maybe i totally miss your point because of my terrible english here)
From my perspective though, those exercises are interesting maybe for advanced ones but for noobs like me, not being able to confront with "hits" or feedback is a source of frustration hence discouragement hence lack of motivation... Anyway i think you again Morrighan for this exercises as they make me progress !!
At first, for any noobs like me, the VERY first important thing is to identify and discern the "source", the moment, the feeling Vicky is talking about.
I am working hard lately to understand this... very hard...maybe i found it... Will tell you if i obtain proof i found it...
Vicky could you develop a bit what you say here ? "But the real focus needs to be on that fraction-of-a-moment feeling that comes right before you are aware that you are receiving anything."
Is it more or less another declension of the infamous Moen's perceiver interpreter concept ?
