ABSTRACT

What Mairi would come to call “experience of soul” began at the end of an ordinary session about two weeks after her last Self-directive dream (#22). Three days later Mairi telephoned to request an extra hour. When we met she said, “Last week when I sat here across from you gathering myself together to leave, I leaned my head onto the back of the chair for a moment, closed my eyes, and suddenly had a kind of ‘inner vision.’ Instead of looking at darkness or at the inside of my eyelids, I was gazing up into a dark-blue, starry night sky.1 Two enormous invisible streams of energy emerging from below my vision whooshed up into infinity, crossing before me like a giant ‘X.’ Had they been visible they would have criss-crossed the night sky like search lights. But they weren’t visible; they were like palpable streams of ‘aware energy’ of enormous power.
