Teacher: "When you write in this fashion it could be considered meditation. If you pay attention, at that moment your mind is entirely focused on what you write and in finding answers for the questions within yourself. In your heart you have the desire of communicating with your Thought Adjuster and with Celestials. You are indeed receiving some information from us 'out there' so this is also a tool for celestial communication.

"However, the practice of Stillness has some extra benefits. You can learn to discern the more subtle forms of communication with your Thought Adjuster. You can relax your mind and have a moment of rest for your soul. You can also visualize some realities beyond the material realm easier when your eyes are closed.

"You can get abundant benefits from this kind of writing. It is equivalent to what others do when meditating while walking, practicing tai-chi or yoga, or when they do something with their minds totally focused. In your case it is writing when your mind focuses on 'listening'. This is what is important. Many spend long hours praying, repeating memorized prayers over and over again (walking or doing yoga) without ever achieving any spiritual growth, since their minds and their hearts are not focused on listening.

"The only 'deficiency' in your writing is that communication is not direct and it doesn't take place in 'real time'. We place thoughts and ideas in your mind that you interpret and attempt to explain with your words. In mind to mind communication, which happens during meditation, a concept can be better understood without the need of verbal interpretation as a real time conversation is then carried. For this type of conversations meditation is always the better alternative.

"Don't worry too much about the time of your meditation. We recommend the early morning because at that time your mind is more relaxed, not concerned yet about the activities of the new day. At night achieving stillness can be more difficult. The time has nothing to do with the availability of your Teachers or the Midwayers. If any Celestial has an opportunity to talk to you, he or she will. If some are busy during your meditation, others will make themselves available. It is your Thought Adjuster - always available -- and your Seraphim who announce your intent to communicate when you ask. It may take some time for someone to be available but someone will always answer.

"We understand the difficulties that humans face when attempting this kind of communication. Keep practicing so you can feel more confident in this process. Our patience is infinite with those who sincerely try to achieve a fruitful relationship with us and with the levels beyond the material world. Part of our 'job' is to be here for you. Call upon us any time."
