I will be gradually transferring many of my years of private notes — kept on some other electronic devices — to this blog, which hopefully will survive long after I transition, whenever that may be. The main reason is to make it available to that intrepid explorer who saunters through the wild of the Internet in search of rare creatures, and as a reward for their perseverance. These notes are polished only to certain degrees. Whoever else stumbles upon them can continue to polish if they so desire. "Live Long and Prosper."

Vibration is an experience. It is a relationship between me and my higher self. it is a synchronization of me with my higher self.
This experience is an awareness of both my presence and the presence of my Higher Self.
My Source adores me while It basks and delights in Its presence, and in the presence that is me, and simultaneously in our Shared Presence. I can feel the experience of the interpenetration of the awareness of presence shared between Source and myself, which is eternally something unique and new, now and forever now.
I, which is the sole awareness of my self, can and must move and align my center of awareness of this smaller self’s self-perception to awareness of the I that is my Higher Self. From here — now an interpenetrating, elevated focal point of perception — I can observe, embrace and invoke to the smaller self soothing words of acceptance and presence. Thus is revealed the difference, which is simply contrast, between trying to soothe and guide my earthly self from the perception of that same earthly self, and the perception and soothing of my earthly self from I as My Source Self.
As I more frequently practice this conscious movement — which is a movement of consciousness —and which is realignment — this frequency of mine recalibrates to one of ever-increasing, purifying tone. And from that aligned conscious center of timeless awareness, the Eternal Realm of Source lights up all around me, revealing my True Home, and the nourishing knowledge that from Here, there will never be an ending of this Immortal Realm and its Eternal Illumination.
“Our spiritual attitude will always be determined by our conception of our relation to God or Infinite Spirit; and so when we begin to see that this relation is one of absolute reciprocity—that it is the self-recognition of Infinite Spirit from our own centre of consciousness—then we find that the whole Secret of Life consists in simple reliance upon the All-creating Spirit as consciously identifying itself with us. It (our Infinite Spirit) has, so to say, awakened to a new mode of self-recognition peculiar to ourselves, in which we individually form the centre of its creative energy. The logic of it is simple. We have found that the originating movement of Spirit from which all creation proceeds can only be Self-contemplation. Then, since the Original Spirit cannot change its nature, Its self-contemplation through our own minds must be as creative in, for, and through us as it ever was in the beginning; and consequently we find the original creative process repeated in ourselves and directed by the conscious thought of our own minds.”
Troward, Dore Lectures, “Salvation is of the Jews”
“Consequently the initial movement must be started by something which, though it works on and through the particles of the primary substance, is not those particles themselves. It is this "Something" which we mean when we speak of "Spirit."
“Then comes the question, How did the Universal Substance get there? It cannot have made itself, for its only quality is inertia, therefore it must have come from some source having power to project it by some mode of action not of a material nature. Now the only mode of action not of a material nature is Thought, and therefore to Thought we must look for the origin of Substance. This places us at a point antecedent to the existence even of primary substance, and consequently the initial action must be that of the Originating Mind upon Itself, in other words, Self-contemplation.”
Troward, The creative process in the individual; Chapter 2, THE SELF-CONTEMPLATION OF SPIRIT
“When we realise that substantially there is nothing else but spirit, and that we ourselves are reproductions in individuality of the Intelligence and Love which rule the universe, we have reached the firm standing ground where we find that we can send forth our Thought to produce any effect we will. (I am Cause.)
“We have passed beyond the idea of two opposites requiring reconciliation, into that of a duality in which there is no other opposition than that of the inner and the outer of the same unity, the polarity which is inherent in all Being, and we then realise that in virtue of this unity our Thought is possessed of illimitable creative power, and that it is free to range where it will, and is by no means bound down to accept as inevitable the consequences which, if unchecked by renovated (or restored) thought, would flow from our past actions.” *

Troward, The Hidden Power, VI
“Above this there is a higher Law, to lead us to the realization of which is the whole object of the Bible, and that is the Law of Individual selection. It does not do away with the Law of Transition, for without transition there could be no Evolution; but it substitutes the Individual Law of Conscious Life for the Impersonal Cosmic Law, and effects transition by living processes of assimilation and readjustment which more perfectly build up the individuality, instead of by a process of unbalanced disintegration which would destroy it. This is the Living Law of Liberty, which at every stage of its progress makes us not less, but more and yet more, ourselves.”

God became man that man could become God.

“If, in sympathetic imagination, you can touch your kinship with any given form of abundance, you can partake of its power. (Sunlight, but lightly and briefly.) waterfall, nature, etc.
“As a rule, then, abundances should be associated with the idea of ripeness.
Saunter rather than wander.
“In discarding--or rather growing out of--the visualized symbols of the abundance idea, you will come to realize that you have not been actually drawing from the abundance of the harvest, or the waterfall, or the power of the sun-warmth, or any of the other symbols we have considered. You have, in reality, by those symbols come in contact with the same sources from which those things themselves draw their vitalities. In other words, you have not taken something from or through them: you have by them been enabled to draw from the same sources from which they draw.
BETTY: “Strata....Consciousness is built in layers. When I'm here I'm in the one that rests upon and touches our consciousness. It's just like the water-and-air level--like being amphibious. Anybody could live half in and half out--both lives. So far I have only come up from the depths temporarily to accustom myself to the different atmosphere of this level
above. But what I WANT to do is to live on top, and only occasionally go into the depths....
“I wonder why we don't all accustom ourselves to live there? I suppose it is because it seems an unreal world at first. That is because we are still dripping from the depths, and are not dried off and accustomed.... “They say they want to show me how consciousness develops into this level above.... (long pause)
“Can't I go up? I don't see why I have to travel latitudinally....
“Curious place, now that I come to look at it. Funny! it looks like a matter of elevations and country and a lot of currents....
Why, it's WAVES! There never was such a world of waves before....Seems I'm going to have a lot to do with those waves.”
INVISIBLE: “Have him draw it.”
(here is Stewart's drawing as directed by The Invisibles:
“INVISIBLE: "A" represents the field of ordinary human consciousness--call it the static field. "D" is the magnetic field of the higher consciousness. "B, B, B" are the waves of heightened awareness which are continually arising over and across the static field. When this field has attained a certain level of development, these waves at their apexes establish momentary contact with the magnetic field. And as development continues, the interspaces, "C, C, C" gradually diminish, as shown in diagram II, making the points of contact more nearly continuous. When the interspaces are finally eliminated, then the static field is in complete correspondence with the magnetic field, and the individual enters fully the higher consciousness.”
INVISIBLE: “The point toward which all this instruction trends is ultimate identification with your higher self. But first must come a vital effort to know that higher self, and a gradual training of your spiritual muscles to maintain it, once recognized.
“This does not mean that you should cease to interest yourselves in the multitude of activities all around you--people and books and experiences--these are hourly food. But it does mean most emphatically that your major efforts should be in the recognition and cultivation and establishment of your inner being, the eternal part of you. The gradual growth and expansion of this eternal self is the major business of each day, whatever may be the pressure of obligations in your everyday life.”
BETTY: “I am sitting right on the border today, trying to understand....”
