Christ consciousness: When we go beyond form we come to the universal experience we all seek, and that is waiting for those who choose purity in living as their state of being.
How many realize that the road to highest human experience lies in refining attitudes, thoughts, actions?
When we adopt positive attitudes, thoughts for the best resolution, the highest good follow in our actions. We become as stalwart as the solid lighthouse set upon a craggy rocky shoreline, a beacon for others that they may see the light of right action in their lives.
And as we become these glowing lighthouses, we become even more solid and sunk into the rooted foundation of Christ consciousness.
Here is a meditation for traveling to a state of radiance
To begin, pick a spot to sit where you will not be disturbed and close your eyes. If you prefer the outdoors, a private garden nook works well, or along a stretch of beach, or alongside a path in a park; wherever nature prevails.
Start even and regular breathing such as 2 counts to breathe in and 2 counts to breathe out. Continue this rhythmic pattern throughout your meditation without actually saying the numbers. Breath and mind are connected. When upset or agitated even breathing settles thoughts and calms the body.
Take a minute to think with appreciation for one person or perhaps a loyal pet where love is exhanged. This sets the mind in a positive mood.
Now, extend your individually loving thoughts outward from a small beam as from a flashlight to how you would imagine being in the center of the sun.
Allow your thoughts to warm with love as you would if you were in this pervasive light. Let yourself experience this Christ conscious love that is totally radiant in our deepest reality.
Sitting quietly, let yourself imbibe of the warmth while surrounded by the great Light. Hold on to this experience and enjoy the feelings of stillness in your body and lightness in your thoughts.
Now open your eyes, take a deep breath in and slowly release it. Stretch out and go on with your day, remembering often the harmony you feel when you body is calm and your thoughts enlightened with the warmth and brightness of radiant caring love.
