Spiritual exercises move your Soul into the Spirit of God. When you do spiritual exercises, don't do a ritual because that's not necessarily spiritual exercises. Be flexible to see which way the Sound Current is moving, and flow with it. After you get in there, open your spiritual eyes. Say, "I'm opening my spiritual eyes." It's not like your physical eyes. Sometimes all you see is white because it's so bright after you open your spiritual eyes. It's as if you woke up from a physical sleep and someone is shining bright headlights in your eyes; you can't see anything because it's so bright. However, accommodation starts to take place in the Spirit, and you start to differentiate in the spiritual realms. A lot of times, spiritual exercises are just learning to see in the Spirit.
