CHAPTER 30
LOCATIONS

At basic, the being is not truly located in space. But he thinks that he is and he thinks that he must only operate from the place where he believes himself to be located.

Operating in a position, and placing matter and energy in that position to identify himself and establish his ownership, he can now be hit in that position. Eventually the position is smashed and he sets up a new position to operate from.

Eventually his history consists of abandoning locations and leaving stuff behind. And this weakens him, because his ability to have and generate space is monitored by his ability to reach locations.

This exists at two levels. There is the physical universe, where he withdraws from painful or unpleasant locations and gradually contracts until he can no longer operate outside of a body. And then there is his own "universe", his own "mental" matter, energy, space, and time. But it is not really "mental" but simply non-physical, his own creations rather than the shared creations of the physical universe.

He generally operates from a fixed location in his own universe and has the "controls" for his machinery located there, so to speak.

But, just as he abandons locations in the physical universe, he abandons locations in his own universe as well and shifts his operating point because of things such as failure. This leaves old "mental" machinery out of control.

At this late stage in his existence, the being has agreed with the physical universe for so long that his operations in the different universes will track together.

An old metaphysical idea (attributed to Hermes, the mythological man who became a Greek god) is "as above, so below" meaning that the physical and spiritual planes interrelate and reflect each other.

On these processes, one runs whatever comes up or seems to feel right. The locations can be physical or non-physical or in other universes or planes of existence or in your own mocked up space.

As you stop flinching from occupying locations, various things may come back under your control. For now, just do this lightly and get whatever you can out of it. This can be taken much further on subsequent passes through this book.

30.2 Communicating With Bodies

 Start with physical locations, but try to work up to locations in "your own space" from which you communicate to the body.

30.2.1 From where could you communicate to a hand
