Good comments Glenys and Dave. Glenys was a brave soul to venture an explanation of the point of tension. It wasn't quite in the direction we will go with it but she still puts forth some good truths.
The point of tension is a point of stress that precedes all creation and leaps forward in evolution.
If you take a model airplane and wind up its propeller, the rubber band will incur more and more stress or tension until it becomes taut. The flyer must use judgment and reach the right point of tension. If he winds too much the band will snap and disaster will occur. On the other hand, if he winds the right amount he can constructively harness the energy of the tension to fly the plane.
Another, but different example of the point of tension is the adding of sugar to a glass of water. If you add a small amount the sugar it seems to disappear because its particles go into the empty spaces between the water molecules. But if you keep adding sugar, the space between the molecules fills up and a point of tension occurs in the water. When this point of tension is reached the sugar becomes visible and some of that which was hidden materializes along with the added sugar.
This corresponds to creation. As you put ATTENTION on the work to be done and send energy to it, it may seem that nothing is happening for a period of time. But when the point of tension is reached an almost miraculous materialization will occur.
Some have wondered why I put so much attention on this list at the sacrifice of delaying the Immortal books, but a large part of the reason is to create a point of tension with the group so higher creation can take place. The group has only had a couple winds of the propeller and there are many more to go, but, if we do not release our attention and energy, a miraculous creation awaits on the horizon.
I should have more time to write tomorrow.
