1. The place for
your meditaion should be chosen with great care. Select a place where
you will only meditate, if possible. Make it beautiful and decorte with
your preferred items related to your chosen diety. Place some flowers,
an icon or a picture you like or have a special relation to. Or, if you
like, leave the place empty and clean.
2. Different people
like to visualize the location of the inner light in diffrent parts of
their body. For some it may be the heart or the solar-plexus, for others
it is located in the “third-eye”, on the forehead between
the eyebrows. It is up to each and everyone to decide the location for
the light within them selves. The inner light is a concept found in all
religions and now even spoken of within Science. This is often mentioned
by people with “close to death” experiences. Even the nuclear
scientists are saying that the nucleus of an atom is shining with much
greater power than the physical activity of the nucleus. Among religions
this is regarded as Gods presence in his creation and for us humans to
recognize our true identity as one in God. A meeting place for mankind
and what we are referring to as God, our creator.
“There is a radiant light shining bright deep inside of me”.
Repeat the line throughout the day quietly to yourself.
3. Meet the inner
light, your and all living beeings life force- the source of creation
- God in each and one of us. Make yourself more sensitive towards your
deeper needs and your search for the true purpose of your life. Let the
inner light enlighten you and heal your weaknesses, and bring you joy,
and fortify your ability to become an instrument for its purposes.
4. If you are sick,
or suffering some aliment, focus on and lead the light to the area of
your desease. Let the light shine and heal the area which cause you problems.
Let the light reflect love and healing qualities. Let the sickness become
enlighted like the sun is shining down on earth at dawn every morning,
driving away the darknss of the night.
5. Take a selective
look at your belongings, what do you really need and what is of value
in relation to the light? What is of less value should be discarded. Try
to keep your belongings to a minimum to help keeping your focus on spiritual
matters. Do no clutter your home with things that will distract you. Be
mindful of your belongings. Ask yourself: “what do I really want
to change regarding my personal possessions?”
6. What is your
realtionship to the environment and especially the animals? Do you respect
their lives and defend their rights to live peacefully and undisturbed?
Are you thinking that you love all animals and is mindful of nature but
at the same time looking the other way when they are being exploited and
devastated? Do you take a stand against all animal exploition and the
slaughterhouses and such in love and compassion?
Try to establish as much care and compassion for the world around you
in your heart as possible. Through this you may revive a loving and compssionate
relation to the whole creation, this will help you calm your mind and
keep your conscience sound.*
7. Everything is
one, everything is related, and everything is inter-acting in dependency
of each other. Everything is enlighted by the inner light. All living
beeings have the inner light within themselves. In some of the languages
the word “light” and “life” are one and the same.
Everything springs from the same source of life which it is constantly
trying to express, and struggles to get back to, and become united with,
its origin. What is looked upon as diversity is really united by the inner
light.
8. It is not difficult
to share the light of love with a dear one, parents, children or a spouse.
But to bring in an enemy or someone who is afflicting pain in your life
is much more difficult in the beginning. When you can eliminate your negative
tendencies and emotions towards your fellow man that’s when true
progress will take place. This will affect not only yourself but olso
all your relationships and your surroundings will prosper from such a
progress. Think of how everyone is living according to their “karma”
or destiny and that noone can live and be happy without the love of your
inner light. Try to understand, forgive and reconcile with everyone and
everything.
9. “There
is a radiant light shining bright deep inside of me”. Close your
eyes and repeat the line of the meditation throughout the day. Search
behind “closed eye-lids” for the inner light deep inside of
you, let your surprise out when you find the light, but over time try
to stabilise it into a more subtle joy. God is light! Everything is created
of God’s image! Therefore everything in creation is light, united
and sacred! In time you will be able to look upon creation as combined
in unity, there is no diversity in creation, all is one. You will be perceptive
of your own identity in “Gods light”, not the shifting characteristics
and different personalities you usually identify your true self with.
These false perceptions nourishes our needs and desires we think are our
own nature, in fact they only block and prevent our inner light to expand
and shine. Seek for your true self in the inner light deep inside yourself
and everything will be enlightened and revealed to you. For anyone who
has taken upon himself the struggle to find and realise his true identity,
there is reason to gradually get acquainted with what we call death in
the greatest assurance, because the only thing that death is not prevailing
over is our internal ligh - our true identity. Then the natural death
will be reduced to nothing but INTENSIFIED LIFE.
