  Meditation 7

Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gye Nyame.

Thank You Aum. Thank You Bha. Thank You Gayatri.

1

This practice of meditating on Silence is the process of using

Silence, as we use Mantra, to control, clean, focus our

consciousness, and guide it back to You. This is the way we

transcend negative thoughts, purify our consciousness, and

reawaken to our consciousness with You.

2

Thank You for showing us clearly that the real struggle is to

cleanse the wickedness from within our own consciousness.

We do this by always thinking of You and meditating on You.

Enticed by Maya, forgetting who we are, we fell deeper into

Maya, Your illusory energy, suffering evermore.

3

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

Now, the Supreme Witness of Everything; this includes Sound,

Silence, Space, Nothing, and Now. The more we meditate on You,

the more we re - member our Self. The more we put ourselves

back together with You, we awaken out of the illusion of Maya.

4

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

You as Now, the One Supreme Witness of Everything; this

includes Sound, Silence, Space, Nothing, and Now.

Meditating on You in one of these ways helps to keep us

better focused, centered, and balanced in You, that which

does not change.

5

Meditating on You in these ways helps us to reawaken to our

original self confident, intelligent, and creative ways. This gets

us out of Maya and keeps us on the straight and productive

path to conscious union with You.

6

Thinking of You, concentrating on You, and meditating on

You is the primary instrument we are using in our efforts

to purify our consciousness and come back into

consciousness of You. The more this happens, we are able

to see and serve You in each other. Gradually we are able

to experience the fact that there is only You. All else is illusion,

Maya.

7

Thank You for showing us how we can constantly remember You,

meditate on You, cleanse our consciousness and rise back to You.

Otherwise, we stagnate and move back or fall down into lower

consciousness and Maya, the illusory energy, again.

8

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

as the First and Last Witness of earth, water, air, ether, mind,

intelligence, and ego. Those elements are the impermanent components

that combine to make the temporary material worlds.

9

We think of You as surpassing all others in excellence. The more we think about You,

concentrate on You, and meditate on You, the less we mourn about the past, worry about

the future, or are troubled about the present. We live in the present moment in peace,

awakening ever closer to the everlasting fulfillment You.

10

We meditate on You as Everlasting Omnipresent Peace, the

Most Pure, the One in the many and the One who is within

and beyond the many, and is experienced as we detach from

the material world, see the self as spirit, and engage in the

process of cleaning our Pineal gland, the seat of consciousness

and the gateway to You, Infinite Awareness.

11

This spiritual cultivation and development of the Pineal

Gland is done by always thinking of You, and meditating

on You, our Supreme Being. As our consciousness is purified

by virtue of Your association, our very vibration contributes

to the edification, purification, and unification of Sentient

Beings in our universe.

12

Thank You for teaching us how to know our Self and be our Self

simply by seeing the Self as Spirit or Energy and always

remembering You. We meditate on You as the Silence and Its

Eternal Observer.

13

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

the eternal Observer who pervades and transcends all frequencies

of Silence, the space between the frequencies of Silence, and

"Nothing ."

14

We think of You as the Unconditional and Absolute Love.

You are always inspiring us to do what is right and beneficial

for all. We meditate on You as the Silence and Its Supreme

Witness. You are the greatest force that keeps us stable,

centered, balanced and ever more united within our

consciousness and awareness with You. Thank You for

showing us the crucial importance of meditating on You.

15

We know, from Sages, Saints, Prophets, Scriptures, and

personal experience, that it is due to the cleanliness of our

consciousness and the decalcification of our Pineal Gland

that we can follow Your righteous guidance and thus realize

our maximum potential. We meditate on You as the Power,

Intelligence, and Love, above whom there is none. You are

everything, including "Nothing."

16

We meditate on You as our Divine Supreme Being, pervading

and transcending all the worlds of which You and You alone are

the creator, maintainer, and annihilator. We meditate on You as

Pure Spirit/Consciousness, the Most Righteous, the Most High, the

Most Kind, the Most Compassionate; the Most Gracious, the Most

Merciful, and the Most Beneficial for all worlds. Above You there

is no one to be praised. No one is to be praised other than You, the

Greatest of all.

17

By always thinking of You, concentrating on You, offering all to You,

and meditating on You, our Pineal Gland is cleansed. As this

happens, it becomes a greater conduit for Your Most Subtle energy,

creativity, and intelligence. 

18

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

as within and beyond the most subtle ether and any other degrees,

forms, or fashions of rarefied air. Whether it be social circles,

academic surroundings, or vast, varied, or variegated appetites,

You are the most ubiquitous and subtle, within and beyond all.
