....as always, you're a fount of knowledge. Thank you kindly, Aunt Clair. Thanks for the suggestions, Tom. I'll try to perceive these stones-my clairsentience is sound but my clairvoyance is apparently seriously lacking. I've been doing the excercises you suggested Aunt Clair, and I am certain I'm improving, but when I look at myself clairvoyantly, I don't get a solid image....I get flashes and impressions. Everything is so subtle....it's difficult to gauge what is normal. I will study and meditate on what you've given me here-thanks again!
