"When you really concentrate, you will get a sense of expansion. You will feel that you are larger person than you are physically, as if you become a person two or three sizes bigger than your ordinary physical self, and that you are flowing with all your being toward the object of your concentration.

And so, even those uncomfortable interactions with others form the Vibrational basis of your expansion."
