Remembering You 8

Thank You Aum. Thank You bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.

Thank You Aum. Thank You bha. Thank You Gayatri.

1

Please pardon some of our sources for their use of the masculine

gender when referring to You. We know from observation,

experience, and reflection, that You are beyond all genders. No

name, no form, no personality can fully contain nor describe You.

2

All is contained within You. You contain all, and You are never empty

nor full. You surround and are within and beyond all dualities and

personalities. Truly, You encompass and are within and beyond all.

3

We meditate on You as the Boundless Source of all that exists. In

You there is no East nor West, North or South, free nor slave, no left

nor right, no dualities. Thank You for showing us how to transcend

the worlds of duality by constant remembrance of You.

4

We meditate on You as the Original and inexhaustible Consciousness of

all, beyond past, present, and future. Please accept our obeisance. We offer

You our life, our so-called death, and every breath our body breathes.

5

We submit to You our hopes, our dreams our plans.

We offer You our nights our days our hopes, our praise. By

the grace of the process of submitting to You, we are being

purified, and are returning to our original, deathless state,

beyond the one and the many, and all other dualities.

6

Everything we have, we bring as an offering to You. Thank

You for allowing us the intelligence to offer everything to

You; doing so, we transcend ignorance, passion, and goodness

and put our real wealth, our offerings to You, where birth,

disease, old age, and death cannot touch it. 

7

Through this purifying process of associating with You, our

old polluted understanding gives way to pure understanding,

channeled directly from You. From this perspective, we see

that we are individuals with dignity and self respect, at

different levels of consciousness.

8

We think of You as the Source of our Original Dignity and

Glory. We are all within You, the Premier Witness, the

Spiritual Foundation, the Supreme Intelligence and Eternal

Unity, pervading and transcending of all.

9

We abide by this understanding given from You in the light

of history, the revealed scriptures, and our prior experience.

In this light of reason we see that You are not an artificial

imposition on the mind or some phantasmagoria that we

cannot comprehend.

10

Meditating on You raises our consciousness and with it

our wit, wisdom, and intelligence. Most importantly, fixing

our consciousness on You in this way brings us back to You.

In the process of bringing us back to You, meditating on You

gives us a life of cultivation, fulfillment, security, freedom,

and Peace.

11

Your Peace is always with us. We think of You, we

concentrate on You, we meditate on You as our Greatest

Benefactor, the Source of our dignity and our glory.

12

We meditate on You as beyond all duality, such as I, Am and

others. We meditate on You as the Silence and the Awareness

of all. Thank You for showing us how to awaken out of the

slavery, humiliation, and frustration of Maya.

13

We think of You, we concentrate on You, we meditate on You

as Thisness, Amness, Silence. You, as well as we, are Energy,

forever free, Pure Nondual Awareness, free from all labels,

nationalities, and any other sorts of designations. All credit,

all glory, all praise belongs to You alone.

14

Your Peace is always with us. We meditate on You as the

unchanging, Supreme Reality at the base of all

awareness, the Source of all comprehension, all else being

temporary, an illusion. We know this through association

with You, and in the light of history, revealed scriptures, and

experience.  

15

You are at the center of all we think, feel, will, say, and do. Our

world depends on Your guidance. We think of You, we concentrate

on You, we meditate on You, so that we can better follow Your Most

Righteous lead in all we think, feel, will, say, and do.

16

Our awareness is purified of all material contamination, by virtue of

Your association. As this happens, we are empowered evermore to hear

Your Most still, Compassionate, and Righteous Voice. It comes to us

from our Higher Consciousness down through our Pineal Gland, our

Third Eye. 

17

Purification of consciousness and Third Eye vision empowers

us to love those who hate us, bless those who curse

us, do good to those who do us wrong, and pray for those who

despitefully use and persecute us. Thus, despite the odds

seemingly against us, we continue to rise, back to

You, ever more happy in our success.

18

We will not compromise our integrity. With an ever cleaner

consciousness, we know that it is not how others treat us that

determines how we will live. It is how we treat them that

determines what comes back to us. This is cause and effect,

The law of the universe, the law of Karma.
