      (Q) Outline a method of meditation which will help me the most in my psychic development, giving best time, and prayer.

      (A) As has been indicated, in that manner as seemeth to thine own conscience purge thine body with pure water and with those influences whether in tones of color, of music, or of odors, as the conscience, as the desire of the heart is, so surround self—and with that blessing as He gave, that “May His peace and His blessings surround you as ye enter into that oneness with Him in the inner chamber.” And with such a meditation or prayer as: I Am Thine, O Lord. Use me now as Thou seest fit that I, even in my weakness, may claim thy strength in and through me. Purge me as thou seest I have need of, that I may be the better channel for the manifesting of the love of the Father through the Christ at this time.

       (Q) What is the best time for meditation for this entity?

      (A) Whenever there is the call, as it were, to prayer, to service, to aid another. Preferably in those hours when there is quiet, either in the evening or the early morning hours.

       (Q) What is the meaning of the feeling which I have in meditation?

      (A) More oft it is the fear of “letting go,” or at others the interference from without—from fear. Yet, as we have given, by the surrounding of self with the Christ, the loving Son’s Consciousness, this will be taken away; and the joy of knowing ye are a channel of blessing will enter in.

       The Physical Body and Meditation

       Reading 903–24

       (Q) What is the proper posture for my meditations?

      (A) As has been indicated before, each individual is an entity, each individual has had and is—not a law unto itself, but—a development unto the law!

      That then becomes rather that which is to the entity the more expressive of that being sought to be attained in the experience. Thus as the entity has attained, as the entity has gained in itself, at times the pose or posture would be different. As these vary, meet same.

      Remember, how was it given of old? (which may never, never be improved upon!) In the offering of that which would cleanse the body, in the offering of that which would roll away those influences in the experiences of an individual, varied forms and manners were given that they (the forms) might to the entity in its inner self find that response of doing and being in accord with the sources from which aid, help and understanding is sought.

      Hence to each there comes a change. So to this entity. Do not let it become as a rote only, nor as form only; but as chord answering to chord, as the vibrations from each portion of the body to the one purpose in self of being in accord with the divine within, in body, in mind.

      Thus it becomes the better.

      In some periods it will be found that soft music would aid, though the music may be made by the very activity of the concording of the vibrations through the body.

      At other periods odors may aid, though these—too—may be as an emanation from the altars of sacrifice within self; or those postures that may bring into play the activity of them all.

       (Q) In her daily life, is she able to discriminate between the divine guidance and that of desire?

      (A) Every one may answer self in this. As He has so oft given, if ye will be silent—even though a moment—ye know. For it is not in the storm, nor in the rage, nor the tempest—but in the still small voice.

       (Q) Will I benefit from lying daily 15 minutes on board with head lower than feet?

      (A) If such a period is used as a period of meditation, very well; but the greater benefit will be obtained from the meditation! Though such a position, of course, will induce the flow of influences and forces through the system, by such a deep meditation.

       (Q) What progress has been made toward absorption and elimination of the cataracts?

      (A) These, as we find, are slow, yet sure, if there will be kept, not only the corrections made occasionally, once a month or such—might be the more often but the meditation; and in the meditation, don’t meditate upon, but listen to the voice within. For prayer is supplication for direction, for understanding. Meditation is listening to the Divine within.

      Beware of those things as impressed on the mental attitude of body as respecting digestion; for these are things not to be lightly over-ridden; but the general application of self to such conditions are to respond. Then heed, and not be swayed by others to overload system when it should not be; especially with meats and sugars; for there exists—as has been given for the body—much of that as may be applied from within through the application of self to the psychic or mediumistic forces of the body. Well that these be heeded. Be not unmindful of the voices, nor of the visions as come to the inner self. Do not attempt to force such elements; else there is too much of the likelihood of interference from earth forces. Well that the body enter into meditation each evening at a specified time, place, and begin with the 14th chapter of John, and remember these words forward and backward unto the end of the 17th chapter, as has been set out. In this association, this sphere of communication, may there come none but those that are in accord with the proper and correct development of the inner man; for as this begins, “In my Father’s house are many mansions,” is spoken of self even as in the end, “Lo, I am with you, even unto the end of the world.” Make that presence ever felt within self. No evil may enter. We are through.

       (Q) Please give advice that would help in those times when there is the beginning of Kundalini to rise or there is the circulation of Kundalini through the body. What should be the next step?

      (A) Surround self with that consciousness of the Christ-Spirit; this by the affirmation of “Let self be surrounded with the Christ-Consciousness, and the directions be through those activities in the body-force itself.”

      Do not seek the lower influences, but the Christ-Consciousness.
