THE THEMES

Themes provide new information for the mind to consider. These are best worked with in a different manner then regular reading. First when the mind is calm we allow it to choose the subject it is most interested in. The material is then read in open and slow manner, sometimes stopping or going back and rereading. We pause often to just consider what the material may be pointing at.
