Meditation 8

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

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

1

We meditate on You as the Unmovable Mover, the Power

and Source of the energy of all. Thank You for directing

us to positive sound vibrations that we can use to

Glorify You.

2

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

You as pervading and transcending the fullness and

emptiness of time, space, and circumstances. The Source

of everything, the deepest Peace, and the Greatest Joy, we

think of, we concentrate on, we meditate upon as You. 

3

We think of You as the Omnipresent One, the Most Efficient

and Effective, at the base of all consciousness. Thank You

for helping us to get right, inside, outside, and beyond, to the

realm beyond relativity, back to our life of Supreme Absolute.

We meditate on You as the Silence and the One Supreme Witness

of all.

4

We think of You. We concentrate on You. We meditate on You.

We praise You, as the Imageless, Changeless, Source, who is

within and beyond the Suns, Moons, Stars and all Cosmic

Manifestations. Focusing on You in this way cleans us

spiritually, intellectually, mentally, and physically.

5

We meditate on You as the Supreme Witness of Silence and

Awareness. This is the meditation practice that is being driven

home throughout Our Word. It is proving to be a key for

awakening us out of Maya to the Ever Accessible Reality of

Your Eternal Loving Presence.

As this happens we are always stronger and able to be ever freer

from Your illusory energy, Maya.

6

We think of You as the Greatest Leader, the Source of the

Intelligence of all being. We think of You, we concentrate

on You, we meditate on You as the Greatest Liberator

from the horrible suffering of Maya. Thank You for

showing us how to clean our Pineal Gland, simultaneously

removing the veil of ignorance and selfishness from our

consciousness. We are doing this by always thinking of You

and meditating on You.

7

Thank You for showing us how to remember You in all

ways by always thinking of You. Thinking of You leads

to concentrating on You. From concentrating on You, we

gradually are blessed with the good fortune to meditate on

You in all sorts of circumstances.

8

Meditating on You as Silence and the Witness of Silence, from

the Third Eye, the Pineal Gland, helps to purify all levels of our

consciousness and awareness. Gradually, we understand how

to come back to You, our Original Pure Awareness. 

9

We meditate on You as our Most Awakened and free Inner Self.

Our Supreme Consciousness and Awareness, You are the

Source of our self-respect, and You are our Innermost Reality.

While walking on the street or standing in the market, we focus

on You, and think of You as the Silence and Awareness which

pervades, encompasses and transcends movement and sound.

10

Meditating on Silence and this "Now" includes the witnessing

of Silence and everything that is within "Now". Moreover,

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

as the witness of witnessing ad infinitum of "Now" Itself. 

11

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

You as the Most Generous, Most Merciful One, Supreme

Divinity of all the lords of the worlds. Thank You for

revealing to us this most precious knowledge of self,

Supreme Self, and how to meditate on You.

12

By this spiritual practice of concentrating on You, and

meditating on You, we purify our consciousness of

attachment to Maya. Gradually limited designation

identification of the self, along with its concomitant fear,

is cleansed from our consciousness; we awaken from Maya,

the "House of Bondage" and come back to You. This is

our Exodus.  

13

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

You as the Most Noble, Eternal One. Thinking of You

by praising and thanking You, offering all to You, and

calling out Your Name, is how we are virtuously

rebuilding our character from the inside out.

14

We meditate on You as the Witness of Silence, Space, and

All. You are the indivisible, Undifferentiated, Supreme

Absolute, eternally within and beyond Nothing and

Everything. We meditate on You as our Very own

Eternally Perfect, Most United, Supreme Being, the

Eternal, Supreme Awareness of Silence and all other

levels of Awareness. 

15

Meditating on You, our own Super Soul, our very own

Supreme Leader, purifies us of wrong concepts, such as the

self is a temporary body, mind, intellect, or an ego. As we are

purified from wrong concepts, right concepts naturally come

to the forefront. This is our natural condition.

16

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

as the Eternal, Living Presence, the Source of ether and the

Witness of its Sound. Thank You for helping us to always

think of You.

17

Thank You for teaching us the art and science of always

thinking of You, the foundation of meditating on You.

This scientific process is the ancient method of surviving,

and thriving in security, freedom and peace while we

accomplish our ultimate goal of union with You.

18

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

to You, we meditate on You as the One who purifies,

pervades and transcends all. We think of You as our

Innermost, Supreme, Omnipresent Reality. Through

Meditation on You, and praying to You, our consciousness

becomes clean and quiet, free from unsolicited thoughts.
