==Opening==
 
Opening is a change of the consciousness by which it becomes receptive to the Divine. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/opening#p1</ref>
Opening is a release of the consciousness by which it begins to admit into itself the workings of the Divine Light and Power. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/openness#p2</ref>
 
Opening means that the consciousness becomes opened to the Truth or the Divine to which it is now shut—it indicates a state of receptivity. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/opening#p2</ref>
==Openness==
Openness is the will to receive and to utilise for progress the force and influence; the constant aspiration to remain in touch with the Consciousness; the faith that the force and consciousness are always with you, around you, inside you and that you have only to let nothing stand in the way of your receiving them. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/14/openness#p1</ref>
 
There is a state in which the sadhak is conscious of the Divine Force working in him or of its results at least and does not obstruct its descent or its action by his own mental activities, vital restlessness or physical obscurity and inertia. That is openness to the Divine. Surrender is the best way of opening; but aspiration and quietness can do it up to a certain point so long as there is not the surrender. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/29/opening#p6</ref>
