Meditation releases the light within

Meditation has for its purpose admitting the light which is God, letting loose the light that is stored up within us. The kingdom of God, that is, spiritual light, is within us, and we must open out a way for the light, hidden within, to escape. Meditation, therefore, has nothing to do with overcoming sin, disease, lack, or unemployment; it has nothing to do with stopping evil men from continuing their evil practices. Meditation has to do with us as individuals, realizing and releasing the light that is within. In the attainment of that, the darkness disappears, and the darkness is any and every form of human discord. The darkness and its forms vanish the very moment light is introduced.
We do not claim that we know how to heal disease, but we do know how to sit and realize the impotent nature of anything other than God’s presence. “Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above.” There is no power in darkness; there is no power in the forms in which darkness appears: sin, disease, or lack. Therefore, we do not go into meditation to overcome these; we do not go into meditation to destroy any of the evils of this world. We go into meditation that we may realize:

‘I and the Father are one. Where I am, God is, and because of God’s presence, there is peace, harmony, wholeness, and completeness. The place whereon I stand is holy ground, for in the presence of God there is the light of truth.
God’s presence is my sufficiency in all things. In God’s presence is fulfillment, and I am here in meditation to realize this truth and to be a transparency so that the kingdom of God within me may be released in consciousness, thereby dispelling every appearance of darkness, every appearance of discord and inharmony. If I realize and feel the presence of God, everyone within range of my consciousness, receptive and responsive to God, feels it, and feels the effects of it.’

Every time that we attain, in meditation, an awareness, a feeling, of God’s presence, we have released the light into our home, and then there are no dark places there any more: no hidden errors, no sins, no diseases, no lacks. Where there is light, darkness does not abide; where there is Spirit, there can be no form of mortality. To realize God is to realize freedom and to attain a complete release from fear.

‘I have meat the world knows not of. I have within me the realization of a divine Presence, of a spiritual Light; and this is my bread, my meat, my wine, and my water. This is the law unto my life; this is the Presence that is within me always and goes before me.’

We need not voice this; in fact, we must not voice it. “Pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” In secret, we realize God’s grace and His presence; in secret, we realize the spiritual nature of the function of God. In proportion as we feel an inner release, an inner confidence, we can be assured that we have attained some measure of spiritual light; and then we go about our daily tasks, whatever their name or nature may be, and leave the rest to that realized presence of God.
We have been told by the Master to be in the world, but not of it. This means that unless we sit down for a meditation several times during the day, we will soon find that we are again embroiled in “this world”—its fears and its discords.
Recently, something came to my attention that bore witness to the evil nature of some of the men in positions of power who are manipulating the world, and for a moment it brought a sense of inner disturbance. But almost simultaneously the Voice spoke and said, “But there are not any evil men: man is spiritual.” That brought a complete release from being in and of the world, or of being under the influence of its fears and worries. Did that realization remove these evil men from the world? No, it removed them and any effect they might have from my consciousness as well as from the consciousness of those who are attuned to my consciousness.

Invitation to meditate

INVITATION TO MEDITATE
Think about it: if you’re not your body
Neither in it, of it,
Nor in any way bounded by it
Coz the very “I” that you are
Is the same “I” that I am
And him, and her, and all of them.
That most difficult person or ten
You’re with-&-in them all.
What’s more, as in quantum’s entanglement,
You’re at once there and here.
And God’s the Source of it all.
The Matrix, The Tunnel, The Box.
All.
We don’t need to be afraid to unite
With our brethren any longer –
Already done – already ONE.
What’s holding you back? Someone
Done something to ya? Got your
Stuff? You’ve something huge on them?
LET IT ALL GO, THE REWARDS ARE ASTRONOMICAL.
Then go back to the beginning
Of this meditation and soar
With the rest of the angels!

Meditation: I Got My Answer!

I GOT MY ANSWER !!
I’m so excited!
Recently a meditation blossomed
Into one of the most intimate
Far-reaching visions I’ve ever seen.
I knew it was too intense to last forever
… so far.
I knew I could return but with the same
Measure of deep surrender as accompanied the first and
I knew it would not be finger-snapping easy.
My Answer Was This:
“Remember everything about the former
And check it against daily living.
See where you don’t measure up:
Loving everyone perfectly?
Unconditionally?
Seeing everyone healed and whole?
Recognizing that everyone else has the exact same giftings as you?
Loving the difficult ones with the same tenderness?
DO IT AND YOU’LL BE IN YOUR VISION
All the time.”

Paradox to Meditation

When a problem presents itself, take two steps:
First, in your so-called human mind, try knowing the truth about it. This sets up a connection with God within you. Then WHEN YOU REALIZE THAT YOU CAN’T KNOW THE TRUTH WITH YOUR HUMAN MIND (BECAUSE THERE ISN’T ANY) you’re ready for the second step to TAKE NO THOUGHT AND LET GOD DO THE ‘THINKING’. This also sets up a powerful MEDITATION sequence: first contemplate (in your mind) some powerful truths about God. Second, clear your mind entirely leaving no dependency on human mentation whatsoever.

Meditation w/plan, contemplation & clearing

TEN-MINUTE MEDITATION
started with glancing at clock 10:32+
Plan: at 10:33, contemplate 5 min,
10:38 clear the mind completely.
I have an issue. Leave it out.
No focus at all on material realm.
Just contemplate what … 10:33 Begin.
I saw so clearly that I’m spiritual, all including everyone is infinite Presence.
Saw more and more specifically how this is so.
The realm of Spirit, the only Self, is here.
Saw everyone awash in Love of God.
10:38 CLEARED ALL THOUGHTS ENTIRELY.
“Move on!” ….. “Just nothing” ….. “Keep going ….. “Free!” ….. “Clear” …..
TONGUES with melody keeping all thinking at abeyance. 10:43. Wow! Looking forward to doing it again. [The clock aspect is temporary just to set it up.]

Meditation: you watching you

ON MEDITATION
Have you ever got yourself in a nice comfortable position in which to focus on nothing but divine Spirit, God, Infinite Truth? (Actually you already had too many descriptive words for the entirely spiritual, wordless connection you were seeking.)
Again and again and again the world and the flesh (the same thing) presented itself so convincingly that you almost succumbed and gave up your quest.
But you knew that the goal was infinitely loftier and didn’t even remotely resemble anything the world or the flesh could display: you were going for the not only word-less but also thought-less realm of God.
So rather than jamming up your thoughts you determined to just let them flow right on by. No thought was worthy of your attention, none whatsoever.
There you were, free at last! You had the Mind of God … but that was a thought, so you just let it float on by. You got a glimpse of the whole world healed and whole … and let those thoughts keep going on out.
Then you saw the strangest thing you’ve ever seen! You saw the person who was making this supreme effort. There he was and you were watching him! You, behind the scenes, truly having no body and no mortal mind whatsoever – you were somewhere behind your own eyes – You were watching … you!!!
The very I that was watching you is the real You because it’s the selfsame I that is God.
