P.M.

Prayer at altar.

30’ Silence. First I seemed to concentrate in a something quite extended above my head, the body steadying and furnishing support, this something like a baby taking its first steps. Then followed what seemed a turning back of mind(?) upon itself, a closing up into complete stillness, and I had the feeling of waiting on an outer rim while the inner, the solid or circle, was still, without motion. A deeper stillness, I think, than ever before experienced.

3:45

Shaddai. Up stairs hewn out of rock—entire stairway hewn out of solid rock. A landing, steps continuing upward. Door to left, pushed it open, entered. Darkness. Finally became conscious of something in corner of room, to my left, red some place with this “something”. Thought, a man—it was a snarling beast. I passed it, and entered another passageway, level, lighted by lattice window. Saw ahead a lofty spacious room, entered; empty: passed on to wide verandah, built high over a vineyard, the ocean beyond.

The place wonderfully pleasing, happy and calm.
