WHAT IS MEDITATION?

“Meditation really means —feeling—the Active Presence of God”

An excerpt from “I AM” DISCOURSES VOL.III By Saint Germain -

“I AM” DISCOURSE IX BY BELOVED SAINT GERMAIN:

“One of the great needs of individuals, and even of sincere students today, is to feel the necessity of giving time morning and evening to sincere meditation: to the stilling of the outer activity that the Inner Presence may come forth unobstructed. Meditation really means —feeling—the Active Presence of God. Therefore, when one attempts to enter meditation, he cannot drag all the disturbance that has beset him during the day along with him.

Therefore, consciously remove from the feeling and attention every disturbing thing, enter into your meditation to feel the "Presence of God," and do not revolve your troubles. When the Statement was given: "Know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free," it meant the recognition, acceptance and Activity of the "Mighty I AM Presence."

First, know: "I AM" is the First Principle and absolute certainty of Freedom now. Second, know: "I AM" the active Presence, governing all manifestation in my Life and world perfectly. Then I have entered into the Truth which shall bring all Freedom.”

“Be still and know that I AM God,”

BELOVED MAHA CHOHAN - PAUL THE VENETIAN

EXCERPT FROM BRIDGE TO FREEDOM - JOURNAL BOOK 1 PAGE 92

The efficacy of meditation and contemplation lies within the actual awareness of the presence of God within the individual lifestream. “Be still and know that I AM God,” is truly an injunction from on high. An individual who desires to rise out of limitation, sickness, and disease of every kind, must become aware of, and gain confidence in, the God-power which is the life by which the body is motivated, the mind illumined, and the spiritual senses stirred into the hunger and thirst after righteousness, which stimulates the spiritual search for fulfillment.

Until the student has learned to turn the thought currents in toward his Presence, the teacher must provide a positive course of contemplation, to stimulate the mental currents of the aspirant. Then, through silently invoking the God-Self within the student, the teacher allows that Self to become the infallible guide, the healing power, the peace-commanding Presence, the God-directing intelligence, through the outer self. Such a one no longer finds himself absolutely dependent upon an externalized instructor, but waxes strong in spiritual knowledge, discrimination and Godly powers within himself.

Excerpt from “I AM” Discourses Vol. 8

The BELOVED Great Divine Director:

“Think of it, in India, where so Great a Light has been amongst a few; yet the great mass of people in India, are bound far worse than you are. Why? Because the teaching which has come forth in the past, has taught the people of India meditation; in which hundreds and thousands of them sit down in a posture; and release themselves from the body and go out into Samadhi. They do go into That Exquisite Realm or Octave of Light; but what good is it doing?

The need, today, is to bring Our Perfection down into the human octave - where mankind has created the discord; and to produce Perfection here! Unless mankind understands the "I AM Presence," there is no hope of ever bringing That Perfection in Its Fullness into the physical octave, where It is required to set mankind Free.”

(Ed. The meditation instruction as given by Saint Germain, in Unveiled Mysteries By Godfre Ray King, gives us the means to bring the Light into the physical octave where it is needed - see YouTube below)

Meditation & Contemplation

Beloved Saint Germain speaks: (excerpt from Unveiled Mysteries – Godfre Ray King)

“The individual, through his control of the outer consciousness, must make the effort to rise out of this condition of his own free will, in order to transcend these limitations PERMANENTLY, and no one can hope to rid his life and world of misery, discord, and destruction, until he leashes his own thought and feeling. In this way, he refuses to let the life, flowing through his mind and body, become qualified by the discord resulting from every little disturbing occurrence in the world about him.
“At first, such discipline does require determined, continuous effort, for THE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS OF NINETY-FIVE PERCENT OF HUMANITY RUN AS UNCONTROLLED AND FREE AS A LITTLE TRAMP DOG. However, no matter how much effort it takes to bring these two activities under control, it is worth any amount of time, energy, and effort, and no REAL, PERMANENT DOMINION of one’s life and world can take place without it. It will be my pleasure and privilege to teach you the use of these higher laws. Their application and use will enable you to release true wisdom and bring about all perfection.

MEDITATION:

“The first step to the control of yourself is the stilling of all outer activity, of both mind and body. Fifteen to thirty minutes at night before retiring and in the morning, before beginning the day’s work, using the following exercise, will do wonders for anyone who will make the necessary effort:
“Make certain of being undisturbed, and after becoming very still, picture and feel your body enveloped in dazzling white light. The first five minutes, while holding this picture, recognize and feel intensely, the connection between the outer self and your mighty God within, focusing your attention upon the heart center and visualizing it as a golden sun.
“The next step is the acknowledgment: (say aloud if possible, (do not whisper) or silently in your mind) ‘I now joyously accept the fullness of the mighty God Presence – the pure Christ.’ FEEL THE GREAT BRILLIANCY of the Light and intensify it in every cell of your body for at least ten minutes longer.

“Then close the meditation with the command: I AM A CHILD OF THE LIGHT – I LOVE THE LIGHT – I SERVE THE LIGHT – I LIVE IN THE LIGHT – I AM PROTECTED, ILLUMINED, SUPPLIED, SUSTAINED BY THE ‘LIGHT,’ AND I BLESS THE ‘LIGHT.’ (FEEL DEEP GRATITUDE FOR THE LIGHT)

“Remember always: ‘ONE BECOMES THAT UPON WHICH HE MEDITATES,’ and since all things have come forth from the Light, Light is the supreme perfection and control of all things.

“CONTEMPLATION AND ADORATION OF THE LIGHT COMPELS ILLUMINATION TO TAKE PLACE IN THE MIND – HEALTH, STRENGTH, AND ORDER TO COME INTO THE BODY – and peace, harmony, and success to manifest in the affairs of every individual who will really do it, and seeks to maintain it.
“All the way down the centuries, in every age, under every condition, we are told by all who have expressed the greater accomplishments of life, that the Light is supreme – the Light is everywhere – and in the Light exist all things.
“That truth is just as true today as it was a million years ago. As far back as there is any record of humanity, the wise and great ones of all ages are portrayed with a radiation of Light about them, emanating from the head and body of each.

This Light is real – just as real as the electric lights in your homes! Saint Germain

LISTENING TO THE ‘STILL SMALL VOICE WITHIN’

LIGHT FROM THE HEART OF GOD

By the Beloved Maha Chohan

Excerpt from Electrons & the elemental Kingdom – Page 30

“For your better understanding, I shall again remind you that the Light from the Heart of the God-Self, The Mighty “I AM” Presence, in its descent into physical form goes straight into the Secret Chamber of the heart. From there it is returned to the brain, and the impulse of light thus reaches the sense-consciousness or what is called the intellectual understanding.

The instruction from the I AM Presence thus descends on Its Ray of Light and, re- ascending upward, directs the brain cells to follow out certain Divine Directions which would make the outer self a full representative of the God-Self.

The brain cells, however, are also connected with the five outer senses to the world of appearance, and the vibrations from the world of appearance are also constantly reporting to the brain. This is an accretion of fact and fancy picked up from the world without. The brain then has to struggle between accepting the Divine Direction from the Heart, or the dictates of so-called reason from the appearance world.

Since it is the way of man to follow the line of least resistance, the pressure of feeling therefore prefers to accept the report of the outer senses, and so as a general rule the Divine Direction coming from the Heart is ignored. Thus the individual becomes a pawn of the appearance world until, through contemplation and Divine Wisdom however, he learns in peace, to obey the directions of the Heart, even in the face of the most appalling appearances to the contrary.

Continuing to accept these reports of the outer senses, mankind will never make consistent advancement upon the spiritual path or be of value to the spiritual Hierarchy except in spurts. But be not discouraged, friends of My Heart, for I, too, walked Earth's ways even as you do today. We are grateful, and we love you for every “spurt” and every effort.

By meditation, the chela can so train himself to watch the Light descending from the Presence into the heart, and then re-ascending to the brain, so that he can clearly hear the directions of the Presence as he can hear a voice on the radio, although I might add, in most instances it is more of a flash-picture, than a worded expression.

The pathway to mastery lies in the controlled consciousness which is a radiating center of the causes and Divine Direction. You recognize, accept and expand the God-consciousness through peaceful study, contemplation and one-pointed attention to the Light from the Heart of the Inner One.

And so today, as each of my beloved chelas resolves to make a more determined effort to hear and follow the Divine Guidance from Within, in Love I pour greater blessings upon you.”
