"Yes."
"What did you feel?"
"My heart pounded all the time, and I could not say your name."
"What was there to frighten you?"
"I had images of the outside world."
John Ballantyne said, "I had a feeling that there was no ventilation when the door was closed. I felt nothing."
Baba asked if they would do it every night for seven nights. They said, "Yes."
"Do not be frightened," he stated. "There is nothing to fear. Don't force your attention; keep awake and do not move. Even if a snake comes, let it pass by. And love Baba during these half hours. Fear means no love. Think of Baba from the bottom of your hearts; after seven nights, you will see Baba. Why this fear, Francis? Francis of Assisi and Francis Xavier loved Christ with all their might, and what they suffered none of you can guess; but fear was foreign to them. Do not fear, love me. Don't be bothered; think of Baba; be happy. So, from tonight, Francis [Brabazon], see that they sit there and close the door."
Baba continued, "Francis, you sell all and follow the cross. I am in a peculiar mood. We will have a vague talk, and move from one subject to another. I seldom sleep until after three o'clock in the morning. When I am in seclusion, the night watchman is called every few minutes until then. When do you all go to sleep? [At ten o'clock.] Don't let the two young men sit tonight, as you have to be up so early, but from tomorrow."
One of the servants brought in some sleeping tablets which Baba gave to Lud Dimpfl to help him fall asleep.
"You asked about the seven planes," Baba stated to Malcolm Schloss. "Planes mean what?"
Malcolm answered, "States of consciousness."
Baba replied by giving a discourse on worlds, planes and consciousness, at the end of which he stated:
When we breathe, we don't pay attention to breathing; it is automatic, as in sound sleep. Breathing is our constant companion, but we do not pay attention to it. As when we put on pajamas and go to sleep without paying attention to the clothes, and in the morning take off the pajamas and put on our daytime clothes without paying attention to them, except for a moment or two, so I am with you all the time, but you do not pay attention. How to pay attention, I may explain another time. You cannot feel me because I am there all the time; I will show you how to feel me all the time.
