We think of You as Omnipresent One. We concentrate on You as Omniscient One.

We meditate on You as the One, ever existing Now, the Supreme Witness of everything; this

includes Sound, Silence, Space, all sorts of images and forms, Nothing, and Now.

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

undifferentiated, Supreme Absolute, beyond all dualities such as noise and silence,

"I" and "AM." Thank You for helping us remember You. Along with many other

benefits, remembering You Purifies the Pineal Gland, our Eye of Discernment, and

brings us back to awareness of everything including nothing and silence.

Thank You a thousand times over for advising us to follow Righteousness and to side with

Truth, the greatest edification for all. Thank You evermore for the great gift and

Divine Blessing of remembering some of Your glories and meditating on You.

Your loving presence.

The Omnipresent first and last Witness of Eternal Silence, You are the Source of all

purity and Strength.

Thinking of You, concentrating on You and Meditating on You are the primary tools we are

using for cleansing our Pineal gland. It is purification of the Pineal gland which

leads to union with You beginning at the Seventh Chakra, the Crown Chakra.

By thinking of You, concentrating on You, meditating on You, and surrendering all to You,

we associate with You. In this way our consciousness is cleansed of the nonsense ego

which identifies with that which is temporary, that which

truly does not exist.

We think of You as the Source of our freedom of inquiry and critical thinking. Thinking of

You, concentrating on You and meditating on You helps us come back to You, here, now,

in this moment.

10

We think of You, we concentrate on You, we meditate on You as the Most Pure and

Compassionate. The main tool for cleaning our consciousness is this spiritual

practice of always thinking of You. We do this via study of the scriptures,

observation, experience, concentration and meditation, all

with You at the center. 

11

We think of You as Pure Intelligence, the Creator, Maintainer, and Annihilator of all.

Meditating on You fixes the awareness on You and purifies it of illusory beliefs

and other unedifying elements things. The ultimate goal of all of our endeavors is a return

to conscious union with You.

We think of You, we concentrate on You, we meditate on You as greater than "I AM, "

The Source of Its Awareness. Of the great powers in and beyond the universe, You are

thought of, concentrated on, meditated on, by us, as the Greatest of the great powers..

Thank You for revealing to us how to awaken our discrimination and be led, ever more,

by You into Your Most Compassionate and Righteousness Presence.

13

Supreme Consciousness which pervades and is beyond all Galaxies, You are the Source

of infinite beauty and boundless blessings. All praise to You. We meditate on You

as the Eternal, Omnipresent Silence and Its Everlasting Witness.

14

Meditating on You as the Silence and Its Ultimate Witness is something we can do in this

moment to constant improve ourselves. In the process of improving ourselves, we

contribute to the raising of a more perfect civilization for the health, happiness, good

fortune and Divine Consciousness of all.

15

We think of You as the Source of Real Education. We acquire real Education by always

thinking of You and becoming devoted to You. We meditate on You as the Silence, the

Stillness, and the Premier Awareness of all.

16

Meditating on You as the Silence and Its Ultimate Witness, we gradually liberate our

consciousness from distracting thoughts. The more the consciousness is freed from

thoughts, it returns to its original awareness, You. Thank You for showing us how to

keep unedifying thoughts out of our consciousness.

17

We are liberating ourselves by this spiritual practice of always thinking of You

and meditating on You. We think of You as the Awareness of imageless space. We

meditate on You as the Silence, and Its Supreme Awareness.

18

The essence of this spiritual practice, this devotional service to You, is to fix the

consciousness on You. This procedure consists of calling out Your name, and

offering You everything. Moreover, we think of You, we concentrate on You, we

meditate on You as the Silence and Its Ultimate and Greatest Witness of all.
