60B – Contemplation, Meditation 4/4

That means we are in meditation. Now we are not thinking, we are not declaring; we’re just being, being still, being quiet, being peaceful, without even thinking that we’re being still or peaceful or quiet. That’s a meditation, and some day we advance to the next step, which is communion; and in communion, God speaks to us. We don’t speak to God. God speaks to us. Communion is our deepest, deepest sense of contemplation and meditation. Communion is contemplation and meditation taken to the furthest degree, in which all thought is stilled, and God begins to reveal Itself in our innermost being; and then we don’t remind ourselves of God’s goodness.

Atmosphere of God (3/5)

Many times people turn to these metaphysical movements, metaphysical teachings, truth teachings, for healings, for some other form of good, and in our present development, all of that is legitimate. It is right that people come to us seeking health, harmony, wholeness; seeking the overcoming of their discords. But watch this point well: It is not legitimate that we continue in that frame of mind very long. Continue reading Atmosphere of God (3/5)

Protection (3/7)

Spiritual harmony comes quickly when we have given up the desire or search for physical, or outer harmony. This is the inner meaning of the Master’s words: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” Divine Grace comes in proportion as we turn from all sense of human peace, prosperity or health, and seek the realization of “My Peace,” which includes the health or harmony of Spirit.
