This technique involves entering the 'Garden of Gethsemane' (a state of joyful, thankful attitude) with clearly defined desires (seeds). One contemplates being and possessing the desire, then loses oneself in a 'wild, mad state of joy,' consciously feeling and claiming the desired state as already real. This 'pressing out' of the mystical seed (desire) is accompanied by disciplining the mind ('disciples') to prevent any denying thoughts. The process continues until one's entire consciousness is permeated with the living, sustained joy of being the defined objective, akin to an 'oily sweat resembling blood.'
Man's clarified desires are seeds containing the power and plans of self-expression and, like the seeds within man, these, too, are buried within an oily substance (a joyful, thankful attitude of mind). As man contemplates being and possessing that which he desires to be and to possess, he has begun the process of pressing out or the spiritual act of creation. These seeds are pressed out and planted when man loses himself in a wild, mad state of joy, consciously feeling and claiming himself to be that which he formerly desired to be. ... Jesus took with Him into His hour of prayer His disciples, or disciplined attributes of mind, and rommanded them to watch while He prayed, so that no thought or belief that would 'deny the realization of His desire might enter His consciousness. Follow the example of Jesus, who, with His desires clearly defined , entered the Garden of Gethsemane (the state of joy) accompanied by His disciples (His disciplined mind) to lose Himself in a wild joy of realization. The fixing of His attention on His objective was His command to His disciplined mind to watch and remain faithful to that fixation. Contemplating the joy that would be His on realizing His desire, He began the spiritual act of generation, the act of pressing out -the mystical seed-His defined .desire. IJ! this fixation He remained, claiming and feeling Himself to be that which He (before He entered Gethsemane) desired to be, until His whole being (consciousness) was bathed in an oily sweat (joy) resembling blood (life), in short, until His whole consciousness was permeated with the living, sustained joy of being His defined objective.
This is a highly emotional and immersive technique for spiritual creation. It emphasizes the importance of a joyful, thankful mental state as the 'oily substance' for planting desires, and the need for intense, sustained feeling and disciplined focus to bring the desired state to full conscious permeation.
