The Elder. \u2013 You needn&#8217;t know the persons who are in front of you. You just have to be responsive, both inwardly and outwardly. You could just start with asking them to state the object of their own approach. Theo. \u2013 Whether it is spiritual, for instance, or if they are only looking for some sort of wellbeing? I could ask whether they are familiar with the notion of goal, or the notion of God? I&#8217;d also like to know whether they practice a religion and how they feel about it. We could also approach the problem of which books they read and whatever spiritual way they already follow&#8230; The Elder cheered and raised his hand to stop his friend&#8217;s stream of questions: \u2013 That sounds like a police interview! You must be much simpler. Let them tell you what they want. You needn&#8217;t know anything else, all the more as you can wisely suggest it (<em>sankalpa<\/em>). What matters most is the inner ear you develop. The more questions you ask, the less you can hear your inner voice. Theo. \u2013 Do you suggest I should keep silent? The Elder. \u2013 The essential will appear through silence. But please, don&#8217;t fall into the opposite extreme. If you seem to be far too internalized, they will think that you are absent, aloof, or even disdainful. You must always pay attention to others and adjust to their responses. Theo. \u2013 I&#8217;ve got the perfect tool: softness of the heart. You can warm up a whole audience that way. I have learnt your lesson on <a href=\"https:\/\/theophilelancien.org\/en\/de-la-communication-coeur-a-coeur\/\">heart-to-heart communication<\/a> and I apply it daily. At such moments, the observer I am will automatically emerge. The Elder. \u2013 That is what will allow you to read properly the condition of the meditator who is sitting opposite you. Theo. \u2013 Is that enough? The Elder. \u2013 Of course not! That sort of communication is wonderful, but then, there is another one, and still another one. Theo. \u2013 Which means? The Elder. \u2013 At the second level, your soul communicates with the meditator&#8217;s soul. They both share information. So, if you listen carefully, you will know what is required for the meditator and his or her spiritual development. Theo. \u2013 How shall I know what I have to do? The Elder. \u2013 My own Master once clarified that for me: &#8220;When you meet someone, you absorb him within you, you accept him totally and, somehow, you comply with him.&#8221; Theo. \u2013 And then? The Elder. \u2013 When you are in that state you know exactly what the person needs and the spiritual work can begin. Theo. \u2013 May I ask questions then? The Elder. \u2013 You need not. The soul knows, and all the rest would be sheer curiosity and totally useless as far as the work you have to do is concerned. You&#8217;d better get in touch with the next level of communication, the Divine level, the Lord&#8217;s level. In such a state of communication, work proceeds by itself silently, and the Lord is fully active. Theo. \u2013 And I become a mere spectator of His work&#8230; The Elder. \u2013 And a grateful witness. Theo. \u2013 That doesn&#8217;t look like work anymore, and I like it! The Elder. \u2013 The top flight is when you don&#8217;t do anything anymore and let the Lord work through you. Theo. \u2013 As far as I can understand, working as a trainer means that I must forget myself. The Elder. \u2013 Self-forgetfulness is required, if you want to progress: you can only forget yourself when you are totally in the Presence of God, fully absorbed into Him, and when He has absorbed you completely. Theo. \u2013 Just as I said. The Elder. \u2013 Not exactly: to work as a trainer, you must be totally present to the meditator and at the same time, you must erase yourself completely. Theo. \u2013 I&#8217;m not quite sure what you mean&#8230; The Elder. \u2013 Babuji would say: &#8220;Being present in the absence, present in the Presence and absent in the Presence.&#8221; Theo. (<em>visibly annoyed<\/em>): \u2013 That does not really help, does it? The Elder. \u2013 You must act like a mirror and be absolutely neutral. On one side, you reflect the divine light towards the meditator, on the other side you reflect his or her spiritual condition while he or she is sitting there, eyes closed, opposite you. But you can&#8217;t either let transmission carry you away or be absorbed as you would if you Theo. \u2013 The picture is clearer now: the observer I am is there, present and alert, so that I can be a sort of go-between, an interface between the Divine and the meditator&#8217;s soul. The Elder. \u2013 That&#8217;s right. No part of you should interfere. It is the reason why I suggest you should voluntarily erase yourself, which requires your will indeed. Theo. \u2013 How is the work done then?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_198\" style=\"width: 262px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-198\" class=\"size-full wp-image-198\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theophilelancien.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/points-du-coeur.gif?resize=252%2C320&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Les cinq points du c\u0153ur\" width=\"252\" height=\"320\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-198\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The points of the heart.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Elder. \u2013 You perceive zones of light and shadow in the meditator&#8217;s chest. You are already familiar with its map and what characterizes it (The five points of the heart). Make the suggestion that the shaded zones&#8230; Theo. \u2013 Which are due to <em>samskaras<\/em>&#8230;. The Elder. \u2013&#8230; are cleaned and make way for the underlying light. The point, or chakra, regains its original condition. It is pure again. Then the meditator is freed from the impressions that contribute to more or less positive tendencies. Theo. \u2013 Can I go further? The Elder. \u2013 You can look more precisely at the darker areas, where there are more complexities. You know, for instance, that Point 3 is related to <a href=\"https:\/\/theophilelancien.org\/en\/anger-enemy\/\">anger<\/a>, but I advise you against it. Theo. \u2013 Why? I find it interesting. The Elder. \u2013 That would mean curiosity and you will lose your neutrality. You will be less efficient, less mirror-like. Theo. \u2013 Yet the information could be quite useful. The Elder. \u2013 In that case, and if it is necessary for the meditator, the information will reveal itself. This indicates that his\/her anger is going to be cared for. You pay attention to it as if you were using a flashlight and Master &#8216;s work will begin. Theo. \u2013 Can I see it, or is it reflected on me? The Elder. \u2013 Both are possible. It all depends on you. Some trainers had rather feel it on themselves. Thus they can better be aware of the meditator&#8217;s feelings, and even of his\/her thoughts and of the emotions resulting from the ongoing work, but it is neither necessary nor automatic. Theo. \u2013 So, we&#8217;d better be really neutral, otherwise, watch out for projections and interpretations, and even for judgment! The Elder. \u2013 That is why I prefer a direct reading. In any case, judgment should never interfere. There is a shadow, a disturbance, a complexity, no matter what it is. We just have to simply clean it. Theo. \u2013 Working in such a non-conscious way may become tedious I guess! The Elder. \u2013 Not necessarily. If you know the reason why, you can perceive the final result and the meditators will respond by sharing their impressions with you. Session by session, you will see them be transformed and progress, which is very pleasant and rewarding. Theo. \u2013 But you keep saying that we should not be concerned with the result and leave that to the Lord! The Elder (<em>smiling<\/em>) \u2013 A job well done will produce the requisite result. Therefore, you can appreciate the Lord&#8217;s work and be happy. <a href=\"https:\/\/theophilelancien.org\/en\/theo-trainer-4-conducting-meditation\/\">To be continued\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Theophile the Elder An excerpt from <em>Dialogues with Theophile the Elder<\/em> <em>Theophile the Younger\u2019s initiation<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Theo. \u2013 I&#8217;d like to go further into the way we should welcome the newcomers who want to start meditation.
