one cool thing about building the merkaba is that I am consciously trying to be in a state of grace. I pause to appreciate it's beauty. I just stand there and look at it and see new things all the time. It has a cubelike nature I've recently become quite aware of. I ask for helpful contact and guidance from an entity. I work in the state of mind that I am on a magical endeavor. I try to appreciate the way that mistakes end up working out for the best later on. I let myself laugh when I feel like it. I try to keep in mind that this is for the highest good of all. I tell myself interesting stories about what is going on. I try not to get too grouchy :-)
