THE SECRET OF POLISHING

This is the dream of a woman who is a member of a group of spiritual seekers:

The group is at a school for turning base metal into silver. The basic material is black earth which is swept up and sifted and finally a silver metal dust appears. We are all trying to make silver bowls from this stuff in our own way. Then I am taken aside and shown the secret way of doing this. You take a blank white sheet and spread the metal dust over the sheet five times. Then the clamp the sheet between two bowl molds and squeeze. Then you take the rough bowl and polish and polish till it shines.
