→Descent
==Descent==
The descent is that of the powers of the higher consciousness which is above the head. It usually descends from centre to centre till it has occupied the whole being... The descent comes in order to transform the consciousness but the transformation takes time. It is not done all in a moment.
The Force descends for two things:
(1) To transform the nature.
(2) To carry on the work through the instrument.

A deep, intense or massive substance of peace and stillness is very commonly the first of its powers that descends and many experience it in that way. At first it comes and stays only during meditation or, without the sense of physical inertness or immobility, a little while longer and afterwards is lost; but as the sadhana follows its normal course, it comes more and more, lasting longer and in the end as an enduring deep peace and inner stillness and release becomes a normal character of the consciousness, the foundation indeed of a new consciousness, calm and liberated. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/30/descent-and-other-kinds-of-experience#p7</ref>
