So the Nodes, in the graphic, are an instrument for this profound essence of us. It is only here that the two parts are truly brought together. And they are brought together not by both Nodes on either side, but specific Nodes on either side that are called the Link Nodes. And it's these Link Nodes that literally hold us together.

Now, mechanics is really a delight, because when you look at the Link Nodes, and I will show you all of yours today—I've never done that before, so that should be fun—you're getting to see something that's really, really different.

In my teaching of it—and I've been only teaching this a year now—I still don't really have the right keynote. Let me put it to you this way. You could be somebody that's not-self, that's ignorant, that's deeply suffering, and at the same time, it's all okay. Now, I don't know what you call that, or want to call that. Sometimes I call it spirit, but it tends to confuse people because they confuse it with the 25th Gate and the spirit of the Self, and the 55th Gate and the spirit in the emotional system, and it gets too confusing.

And yet at the same time, it's very difficult to find another word for it, because it's something that brings you a wholeness that gives you a sense of rightness on this plane. It's kind of a juxtaposition expressed in yourself. Except there's a dilemma, always the dilemma, because of all these patterns and the way they work. Each of those Link Nodes is actually in a Gate, in a Line, so forth and so on. That means it's in a place in the BodyGraph, which means that it's under the conditions of what the surface dictates.

In other words, you could have a Link Node in the Head Center, and your other Link Node in the emotional system, and they don't reach each other, or they're in undefined Centers. So, the way in which you find this spirit is something that becomes an important fact in your life. I'm going to show you how to find it.

Some people have it naturally. I mean in some people it's just there. In other people, it's going to be dependent on what is your relationship, what is the connection, where are you getting it from, what happens to you when that aspect of you is conditioned by somebody else, in order for you to get that, and all the things that go with it.
