By the way, as gold star goes to Cosmic Girl for being the first to get the Key Word, just before I posted the chapter.

Could it be that another reason people gave many words circling around the principle is because they did not know the third keyword was actually two words? I thought it was a little unfair, especially given that the first two keywords were single words (one for each key). I think it would have helped people be on the right track if they knew they should have been looking for two words.

Perception is accepted as the Key Word, but Right Perception just helps to clarify.

Rob:

On a different topic, I've noticed more than once you've tried to explain concepts that have no name. For instance, you reveal the first keyword, which is a commonly used word, but you have no word for that which uses the key word.

Have you ever considered coining new names for concepts which don't have names yet? It seems to me with greater understanding comes the need for an expanded vocabulary. In 1975, nobody heard of the "internet", and probably would have a hard time understanding what it is if explained to them--nevermind the word "cyberspace".

So, you want me to become like Robert Heinlein. Grock was one of the best new words of all time.

Usually if one can find a current word to use that comes close it will help with the understanding. Besides, I would have to be fairly well known to cause a new word to catch on. I have coined new phrases though such as Molecular Relationship, Gathering of Lights, Divine possession, and a few others.

Glenys posted an interesting story a while back giving an insight into perception. Here it is again:

Magellan's Ships and our Ring-Pass-Not When I was about 20 studying anthropology at university, a lecturer told a story about Magellan's trip around the world in 1519. Apparently, Magellan's fleet of high-sailed ships would sail into the bays of primitive islands and the natives would be extremely fearful upon seeing the great vessels which were far greater than anything they could conceive of building. It would take some time for them to get used to both the ships and strange men but eventually, they would lose their fear and accept what their eyes showed them.

But on one occasion, the fleet pulled into a bay (if fleets can 'pull in') and to the surprise of all the explorers, the natives took no notice of them whatsoever. They simply went about their normal activities as it the fleet wasn't there. It wasn't until the crew got into smaller boats and came in closer that the natives reacted - and with even greater terror than their neighbors. They ran screaming into the island's interior and it took weeks and numerous search parties to find them and reassure them that they were safe. But here's the crux of the story. When the crew finally calmed them and learnt enough of their language to communicate with them they found that these particular people didn't react to the boats because they couldn't actually see them! The ships were so far beyond their consciousness that they were literally blind to them. This true story made a big impression on me and I have spent the rest of my life straining to see what is just beyond my consciousness, as I know there is so much yet to see.

In esoteric language, this is referred to as 'ring pass not' which is like the outer perimeter of our consciousness, the boundary which we cannot pass unless we extend it.

All that IS is ever present. As we grow in consciousness/awareness and develop our skills of perception we are able to take in more and more of all that Life has to offer. The only difference between us and the natives who saw - or didn't see - Magellan's ships is that we know we have nothing to fear and every extension of our vision brings us closer to the source of All so that in time, we shall see Him because we are like Him.
