ESSENCE OF MEDITATION

Naturally you seek aloneness with God in the quiet of your chamber or work shop, or in the forests of Nature where the nature of God is being made manifest in the forms and whisperings of rhythms which echo within your own heartbeat as one. That very desire puts you in the “mood” for meditation, and the more you thus become companion with God, the more readily you comprehend His language of Light and can put words and forms to it.

When you have formed the habit of constant communion with God, you will then not have to make any conscious effort, or seek the quiet of nature’s environment, to induce it. It will become a working habit—a fixed habit of working knowingly with God—under any circumstances. A cosmic thinker can instantly decentrate to the zero of the Light of all-knowing whether he is in a subway or in a forest.

Let us analyze what is meant by “Soul’s desire”. What is the greatest thing in the world you can ask for or become? There is only one answer, and that is to be like unto God and manifest His nature. Until that IS the answer, you have missed the intent of the journey. In its simplest form, just what, exactly, does that mean? In its simplest form, how can you be like God and manifest His nature? The simplest answer to that, in turn, is to acknowledge that God is love, life and the Truth which lies in the Light of all knowledge and power. That is what God IS. Love is the nature of God, the Universal Mind or Soul. Now, as to what God does, the answer is just as simple. GOD EXTENDS HIS KNOWLEDGE AND POWER FROM THE STILL LIGHT OF HIS MIND, THROUGH THE PULSATIONS OF HIS THINKING, TO WAVES OF MOVING, DIVIDED LIGHT TO CREATE ONE PULSING BODY TO MANIFEST THE LOVE, LIFE AND TRUTH OF HIS KNOWING WHICH CONSTITUE HIS NATURE.

And that is exactly what you do to the extent of your knowledge and ability. You extend your knowledge and your power from the still Light of your Mind, through the pulsations of your thinking, to create your universe in forms which reflect your nature. Whatever you create is the image of you. You call it your individuality or personality. Whatever it is, it is YOUR IMAGE projected into forms imagined by you to manifest your nature. You create a manifestation of your immortal Self by thinking your knowing into form. If you know but little, and think but little, you will create a little person. IF YOU THINK OUT OF BALANCE, YOU WILL CREATE AN UNBALANCED INDIVIDUAL WITH AN UNBALANCED BODY. Where do you fit? If you are a hypochondriac, you have made yourself into one instead of into a genial, cheerful, happy and healthy leader of men.

WHATEVER YOU WISH TO BECOME, YOU MAY BECOME FOR YOU MUST, BY NOW REALIZE THAT YOU CAN BECOME ANYTHING YOU CHOOSE. If you create your own personality alone, by yourself, it will have all of the weaknesses of the senses. The more you ask God to help you make your Self into His image, the more power of His Mind you will have to fashion your Self into a powerful individual. When His nature and yours are one, you will then be a person of cosmic power and your creations will manifest your nature and God’s nature as one.

Our very name for God’s Creations is NATURE, for God is Love, and Love is what Nature IS. We thus define Nature for you in simple words: NATURE IS A LIGHT-WAVE IMAGE OF THOUGHTS WHICH EXPRESS GOD’S LOVE NATURE. LIGHT WAVES ARE OPTICALLY PROJECTED FROM HIS FORMLESS AND UNCONDITIONED LIGHT WHICH WE CALL MATTER. IN OTHER WORDS, GOD IS LOVE AND MATTER MANIFESTS LOVE.
