  The energetic relationships of the various parts of the being

  to sit in meditation before a closed door as though it were a
• 1:00
  heavy door of bronze. And once it's in front of it,
• 1:04
  with the will that it may open and to pass to the other side.
• 1:10
  And so, the whole concentration, the whole aspiration is gathered
• 1:16
  into a beam and pushes pushes, pushes against this door, and
• 1:22
  pushes more and more with an increasing energy until all of a
• 1:28
  sudden, it bursts open and one enters.
• 1:33
  It makes a very powerful impression.
• 1:36
  And so one is as though plunged into the light and then one has

  the full enjoyment of a sudden and radical change of
• 1:44
  Consciousness with an illumination that captures one
• 1:48
  entirely. And the feeling that one is
• 1:51
  becoming another person. And this is a very concrete and
• 1:56
  very powerful way of entering, into contact with one's psychic
