30th Floor of the Construction Site
The Analogy:
L
et’s say that you have hired onto a construction gang which is
building a high-rise building which presently consists of only
the skeleton of what it is to become.
Your first day on the job, you are instructed to work on the
30th floor, where there are nothing except girders, planks
and equipment. Further, you are instructed to load a wheel
barrow with some heavy material and take it to a worker across
a plank which is stretched between two girders.
You look at the plank. You know that if it gives way with
you and the heavy wheelbarrow, you will fall to your death,
30 stories below.
You reason that it has been there for a while, and that the
foreman would not have told you to go out on it unless he
knew it would hold you up. Therefore, REASON that it will
hold you up without giving way.
You hesitate long enough to see another worker go across the
plank with a very heavy load. The guy is really fat, and must
weigh fifty pounds more than you. Now, you ARE SURE that it
will carry your weight.
Then, two more workers with wheelbarrows full of heavy
construction material go across one after the other, so they
are both on the plank at the same time. Now, you KNOW that
the plank will hold you up.
But when you step out onto that plank….. that’s FAITH.
Then, and only then do you become a worker on the building.
The Meaning of the Analogy:
It is a great thing to learn remote viewing and to learn how
to communicate with your subconscious mind. You may reach some
Nirvana-like self-awareness which allows you to be “One with the
All-That-Isness”, etc., etc., etc. But what good is it in real
life?
You can do session after session of pictures in envelopes and
get so good at it that you can win bets, or convince anyone that
psychic functioning exists, and that you can do it. But what
good is it in real life?
But if you learn this skill, the day inevitably arrives when
you are asked to find a missing child or help someone with their
future plans. The day comes when you want to know the future
outcome of plans of your own. This is the day when you are
faces with “walking the plank”, so to speak, and putting your
money, your reputation, or your caring on the line.
There is only one bit of advice I can give you for that day……
take the step. It will hold you.
This analogy also ties in very well with the analogy of the
