Hello, I have two questions. First, I've been doing the SOP for a couple of years, faithfully, but I have trouble visualizing: there are too many things to visualize all at once. The symbol, the season and time of day, the elemental, the deity etc. I tend to circulate between them until I've at least touched on each of them briefly. Is there a better way, or an element to prioritize over the rest?
Second, I'm on a second pass through the OPW, now on lesson 33. I find there is something a little odd about the affirmation, "I welcome new souls to the human level--as I prepare to rise above it." It's as though I were saying, "Greetings & welcome--and now if you'll excuse me I must be going." Know what I'm saying?
