It is good to have an independent real time observer for experiments

My own view is that every belief is an hypothesis awaiting experimental testing. Belief without testing seems rather religious as an approach

This is an important principle. It appears that every part of the human has at least two functions. That was brought home to me last year. I was sitting on a dune with a friend looking at the ocean. She was writing a book about improving education. As she was talking about it, I could see the energy field of the book. It was being gestated in her uterus. And one of the spirits that over-lights the local ocean was looking straight at the book energy in her uterus - and my friend could see that too My friend knows that ocean spirit well.

I would fine tune that a bit: - The ego (personal will) has as its highest value, its self-esteem. It hates to be wrong. - The ego drives the personality to protect the ego. This requires disciplined physical, emotional and mental flows - The disciplined personality is useful to the human spirit when that spirit exerts itself to control the humanness. Control of a disciplined personality is the most obvious precondition to first stage enlightenment - At first stage enlightenment the ego changes from defensive to creative. Thus the ego is central to the spirit establishing control of its humanness.

Perhaps the usual/religious concept of God is not useful for the deep thinker. For example, you will recall that mystics in the Middle Ages invented their own term: godhead. Why did they do that?

Usually the sense of inner touch is developed before inner sight. Thus most humans feel energies long before they can see them

No cult - just a suburban context. Often there are external interferences in the flow - and I show the individuals how to deal with them. And I watch their process. Removal of the interferences results in the people cheering up, standing straighter and looking brighter.

As far as I remember everyone that I asked to look for that Light could see it. Inner sight requires accumulation of the relevant energy-substance and formulating that into a sense organ. Visualization practices are important in developing that skill.

As you know men are strongly physical and mental while females are strongly emotional and potentially heart-centered. Generally men need to get their thoughts under partial control before they have much access to heart processes. Technically: there is a vertical stream of Light that produces consciousness in the brain and generates life force and spiritual purpose in the heart. The anchoring of that stream in the heart is shown in Roman Catholic depictions as a flame. It occurs in all standard format humans. There can be many interferences with that vertical flow of Light.

I find it important to test voices that appear in my head. There are many possible inner and outer sources. For example V2K is a technology developed 50 years ago https://spoileralert.au/voice-to-skull-v2k-technology-a-comprehensive-report/ Voices in the head are common in severe crimes

It seems to me that happiness is of the personality, while joy is of the spirit

When we say a person is "good hearted" or "open hearted" or "hard hearted" we are not referring to the physical heart. We are referring to a spiritual relationship

Can the heart watch thoughts?

According to Carl Jung, 42 is the earliest opportunity for the human to have brought all its inner functions under control. Hence at age 42 the human may be ready for its mission in life. 7 years to control the physicality - age of reason 14 years to control emotional 21 years to control mental 28 years to control the heart 35 years to control the spiritual will - atma 42 years to control the human spirit - oneness Blast off! I recall long ago a battle for the leadership of the Liberal Party in Australia. Both men were aged 42. The winner became the Prime Minister.

Negative feelings attract negative entities including human.
