In Module 1 (first nine teachings) we begin preparing our body, mind, and energetic "default flow" to shift from association with separation consciousness to connection in/with a unifying field. We are guided to methodically, step by step, open and adjust ourselves to new, more expansive alignment.
Teaching 1 lays the groundwork and allows participants to settle in and get acquainted with the feel of the field in which Mary works, which continually expands as the course unfolds and the channeled teachings begin in lesson 3. Mystic wisdom is cultivated and realized through direct, visceral experience, so it's important to circumvent mental interference. Leaning into the feel of the field helps gradually train the mind to relax and ease out of the way.
It is important to remember that WE MUST BEGIN BY PREPARING OUR ENERGETIC FIELD IN THE SAME WAY ONE PREPARES A GARDEN: LOOSENING THE SOIL AND ENSURING IT HAS ALL THE NUTRIENTS NECESSARY BEFORE WE PLANT SEEDS, WATER, FEED, NURTURE...AND FINALLY PRODUCE BOUNTIFUL NEW LIFE.
Allow yourself plenty of time to let things loosen up vibrationally as you go along to ensure you can absorb/integrate at your greatest capacity!
