Commentaries on Meditation

Course XXI - Teaching 1: Meditation

The present times have so much collectivist power that the man is forced live thoughts and actions of social customs, in such a way that for him is quite difficult to be against massive ideas of the majority.

Course XXI - Teaching 2: Discursive Meditation on a Text

Text: “Memento Homo, quia pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris. Pretiosa in conspectu Domini mors sanctorum ejus.” Think that the suffering coming from the fight is like the death of the unbelievers.

Course XXI - Teaching 3: Texts for Discursive Meditation

Text: “Non est hic: Resurrexit!” “Noli me tangere.” One always requests of God to be alone, because we suffer the weight of companies that affect and impede our inner search. When one is alone, vices and virtues of the soul show up clearly in the consciousness; so, we can direct our efforts to the conquest of spiritual virtues.

Course XXI - Teaching 4: Affective Meditation on the “Black Lady” and the “Abyss”

Subjects started by this Teaching have, as a whole, an inspiring figure: Maitreya. Maitreya is the human and divine archetype. To request of Maitreya, to think of Maitreya, to wish Maitreya right now, is to create in us that image of perfection; it is to be more and more like Maitreya.

Course XXI - Teaching 5: Affective Meditation on the “Two Ways” and the “Standard”

The “TWO WAYS”. This exercise, like all exercises in this series, is very clear and simple; its value rests on these qualities. It permits not only the realization of a perfect exercise, but also simplifies the soul processes.

Course XXI - Teaching 6: Affective Meditation on the “Golden Temple” and the “Veil of Ahehia”

The “GOLDEN TEMPLE”. What is consolation? It is very hard to know because usually you mistake it for a soft pleasure of the soul. Many times you call consolation the fleeting oblivion of your own work.

Course XXI - Teaching 7: Affective Meditation on “Resurrection of Hes”

Hes' resurrection is the hardest meditation subject, but fundamental for the inner life. Six precedent subjects are nothing more than instruments to achieve the mystical rapture of the spiritual resurrection.

Course XXI - Teaching 8: Other Affective Passive Meditations

The “BLACK LADY”. This exercise of the Black Lady not only simplifies mental activities but even expresses quite properly the fundamental idea symbolized by the Black Lady. She is not an enemy to fight while she is pure nature but only later, when that natural energy has entered the being and has denaturalized it.

Course XXI - Teaching 9: Other Passive Affective Meditations

The “GOLDEN TEMPLE”. To reach the Temple of the soul, we need to undergo innumerable difficulties related to inner activities. You reach the purity of the soul as you conquer the peak of a mount; you remain there some moment, and later you come back to the valley.

Course XXI - Teaching 10: Stimulating Affective Meditations

The “BLACK LADY”. Blood is the link that unites man with God, matter with spirit. Blood is always a token of sacrifice. Blood not only vivifies our being, but also is the strongest link with customs, family and past.
