Meditation



If you would know Thy Maker,

provide then for yourself a place

of least distractions.

beyond that ,

you need only your purist yearning,

for the journey to your Father

is a path already laid

and merely forgotten.


my Father

I seek again thy face.
but they say “no man has seen the Father.”
I would say, perhaps, I am no man.
for am I not begotten of Thy Spirit?
and within Thy Divine Vision
am I not the Son of Your Thought?
and my Soul,
the Light from your Heart?
and therefore my Father
I travel within the planes of Earth
and I See and Hear You Not,
for I have Accepted the Veil of Matter,
and I know
all such Doors and Blocks within me,
that hide me from Your Face and Voice,
are of My Own Making,
and of My Choosing.
but Now in Truth, so does my Heart long for You.
and as Your son or daughter
I ask Thee to remove the doors of my own making
that lie between us.
for You know what they are..
though I cannot See,
I know your Eye is Clear
and Now upon me.
take then my Illusions,
for I seek the Garden of Thy spirit
from which issues forth my Soul,
as but the Blossoming Light of Thy Presence.
and so do I surrender my darkness into Thy Light,
my blindness into Thy Sight.
and here from the deepest longing in my heart
comes the knowing of my Truth.
Thou art the Light and Life of my Soul.
and surely it is true,

I am “no man”

for

I

and my Father

are One.

Indeed. Reminds me of The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, chapter 40 (out of copyright as far as I know, so I will quote it):

1. Now, in the early morning Jesus came again to teach and heal. A light not comprehended shown about, as though some mighty spirit overshadowed him.

2. A magus noted this and asked him privately to tell from whence his wisdom came, and what the meaning of the light.

3. And Jesus said, There is a Silence where the soul may meet its God, and there the fount of wisdom is, and all who enter are immersed in light, and filled with wisdom, love and power.

4. The magus said, Tell me about this Silence and this light, that I may go and there abide.

5. And Jesus said, The Silence is not circumscribed; is not a place closed in with wall, or rocky steeps, nor guarded by the sword of man.

6. Men carry with them all the time the secret place where they might meet their God.

7. It matters not where men abide, on mountain top, in deepest vale, in marts of trade, or in the quiet home; they may at once, at any time, fling wide the door, and find the Silence, find the house of God; it is within the soul.

8. One may not be so much disturbed by noise of business, and the words and thoughts of men if he goes all alone into the valley or the mountain pass.

9. And when life's heavy load is pressing hard, it is far better to go out and seek a quiet place to pray and meditate.

10. The Silence is the kingdom of the soul which is not seen by human eyes.

11. When in the Silence, phantom forms mat flit before the mind; but they are all subservient to the will; the master soul may speak and they are gone.

12. If you would find this Silence of the soul you must yourself prepare the way. None but the pure in heart may enter here.

13. And you must lay aside all tenseness of the mind, all business cares, all fears, all doubts and troubled thoughts.

14. Your human will must be absorbed by the divine; then you will come into a consciousness of holiness.

15. You are in the Holy Place, and you will see upon a living shrine the candle of the Lord aflame.

16. And when you see it burning there, look deep into the temple of your brain, and you will see it all aglow.

17. In every part, from head to foot. are candles all in place, just waiting to be lighted by the flaming torch of love.

18. And when you see the candles all aflame, just look, and you will see, with eyes of soul, the waters of the fount of wisdom rushing on; and you may drink, and there abide.

19. And then the curtains part, and you are in the Holiest of All, where rests the Arc of God, whose covering is the Mercy Seat.

20. Fear not to lift the sacred board; the Tables of the Law are in the Ark concealed.

21. Take them and read them well; for they contain all precepts and commands that men will ever need.

22. And in the Ark, the magic wand of prophecy lies waiting for your hand; it is the key to all the hidden meanings of the present, future, past.

23. And then, behold, the manna there, the hidden bread of life; and he who eats shall never die.

24. The cherubim have guarded well for every soul this treasure box, and whosoever will enter in and find his own.

25. Now Kaspar heard the Hebrew master speak and he exclaimed, Behold, the wisdom of the gods has come to men!

26. And Jesus went his way, and in the sacred groves of Cyrus, where the multitudes were met, he taught and healed the sick.
