Practising Asimaya without the mind

Frederick says that unlike other techniques he cannot perceive what happens when he practises Asimaya.

The Wonders reply that he is not meant to: the moment the mind interferes he is no longer performing Asimaya, because the connection is to a universal energy based on ease, and the mind destroys that ease.

He should suspend the mind and let it go off to play — many find it easiest to practise while deliberately distracted.

Contrary to his assumption, focusing hard on what he is doing is exactly the mind at work.

They describe Asimaya as creating a bridge between consciousness and awareness so that choice can be made; one cannot force choice on another, only create the environment in which choice can arise.

When they originally gave it, they said it could be done in many different ways.

His real difficulty is judging afterwards whether something happened: some people choose instantly, others only begin moving toward choice over days, so the mind looking for cause and effect finds Asimaya will not play its game.

They contrast this with the idea that the Nazarene touched a forehead and healing followed instantly, saying that is not what he actually did, and that Asimaya encompasses what the Nazarene did and more.

Asimaya works behind the mind and personality; the self makes the change in choice and the mind must catch up, sometimes at once, usually much later because the mind is looking forward instead of observing.

It is a very gentle energetic healing that lets people move without fear being created, so the mind does not feel interfered with.

There is no right or wrong way to do it, but pushing with the mind creates resistance.

He should observe without judgment and he will observe the changes.
