So like most of us on this call, we didn't know Murshid SAM when he was in the physical body. Some of us did, but the vast majority here didn't. And Murshid SAM was pretty clear that whether the student and the teacher were in the actual physical body or not, it made no difference in terms of the contact they can still have with each other.

And my experience of being in contact with Murshid SAM on the inner planes is a very rich experience over many years. And no doubt you also have had at least the sense of Murshid SAM. I mean, it would be difficult to be in the Ruhaniat and not feel some connection to Murshid SAM.

I've said before many times that, you know,  my connections came through my teachers, but also through reading papers. And I've been doing the reading of papers now for 35 years or more. And it's allowed me to kind of create an intimate relationship through the papers with Murshid SAM, and through the words in the papers.

The words are meaningful, but it's the essence that surrounds the words that actually  is the connection. So the heart awakens through this connection in that sense.

And prior to this, I'd never experienced anything like that. But, you know, it's been a development, a long development over many years and it's been a very fruitful experience and continues to be, so that's just the case. So I thought we'd invoke our connections to Murshid SAM.

And then, move on to where we can feel Murshid SAM in the center of our circle ... in space, basically this is. But we're all connecting in one way or another through circles.  And we can feel we place Murshid SAM in the center of this, and then hold that concentration so that that connection to Murshid SAM connects us all in a certain way, like spokes, spokes of a wheel ... spokes going beyond, outwardly and in. 

And we'll take our time to get there, just so you know what's coming. Well, hopefully it goes that way, and we do go where I'm saying we're going to go. You never know, things can go either way. 

So let's bring our awareness to our breathing...
Feel the breath flowing into the feet, flowing into the head, flowing into the front of the body, the back of the body. 

So the breath is energy. Breath energizes the body. And allow this to be an effortless kind of experience,
...
Easy breath ... easy visualization ... contemplation ... 
And then center the awareness more fully in the heart space.
...
As we breathe in, we breathe in as if to a dot within the center of the heart ...
And we breathe out beyond the physical body. 
...
And we draw the breath in, from beyond the physical body, ... from the life in the breath that surrounds us. 
...
Murshid SAM talks about the heart ... becoming more and more aware of finer and finer bodies, finer and finer energies...

We center it in the physical body, but we can irradiate out and we're more sensitive to more and more refined energies... ... ...

And then from the refined, ... then we draw in back into the denseness of the body.

And it doesn't mean that as we do this more easily that we ignore the physical body. All the different sheaths are connected. ... Each is important ... and necessary...
... ... ...
And let's begin to breathe then with, with our sense, our awareness of Murshid SAM.
...
If not for Murshid SAM, we wouldn't all be sitting together, holding hands across the space. ...

And as I said, you know, for me, for me, and probably for many of you, Murshid SAM is a living entity, easily accessible, through stages of fanaa, fanaa fi Pir, in this case for most of us. ...
... ...
We may feel his breath, we may feel his, his heart, hear his voice, see his form ...

And we can help by breathing in the phrase Ya Murshid ... and breathing out the phrase Ya Murshid. Feel this strengthen the thread of connection.
... ...
As we continue to do this, we can feel, heart to heart, we connect with everyone currently in this circle.
...
Hearts and hands, energies are connected, as we continue to breathe Ya Murshid.
...
And then all together we can place Murshid SAM in the center of our circle in space. So we all do this, and we all get this centering, as we would as if we were standing in a circle together.
...
So our hearts go out to Murshid SAM, his heart, the big heart, the heart of the Mahatma, comes to each of us, the light shining from the heart.
...
And those of us who are stronger in this practice, as we're connected in the circle, this will help everyone who are less strong. Every one of us who may be less strong, so we each get the blessing.
...
And we can let the Ya Murshid go, but in the silence, now we can feel our hearts connected and feel Murshid SAM's heart connecting to all of us.
... ... ... ...
And we can allow ourselves to relax the concentration, in the sense that we are doing anything,...  but the concentration still connects us all, as it enters the more refined spaces ... between us, connecting us...
... ... ...
And then we will finish this, in a sense, with the sound Hu.

So we blow the Hu out into the cosmos connecting to Murshid SAM, as one long Hu, and then we blow the same into our own heart, and we alternate between forwards and down.

Breathing in ... Huuuuuuuuuu ....

And then to the heart ... Huuuuuuu ...

Into the space, Huuuuuuu ...

and the heart ... Huuuuuuu ...

once more into the space ... Huuuuu ...

and the heart ... Huuuuuuu ...
... ... ... ...
Amin.

Thank you.
