10. FLYING
“These wave-like movements
of the arms as they are held at the sides represent the Law of acquiring
within oneself Light and Knowledge. It is the Law of right understanding
with Light and Knowledge. This exercise expresses the uplifting impulse
which makes
everything grow. These movements can also be called: the right way of
spreading the Word and helping it to grow into Life.”
