Course XVI - Teaching 16: Need for Loving
The meditator should expect the hour for his deep introspective journey as joyful as a man who leaves for unknown lands, and as anxious as a person that feels attracted by the unknown, –he must expect that moment when his fullness transforms the whole day into an act of continuous meditation.
Meanwhile, until that day, he shall be looking forward his hour of prayer, –that of his unique freedom, that of his incomparable teaching.
He shall learn how to discover that he possesses everything and that everything is ready to teach him a science that no book can offer to him. There he shall hear the Divine Mother’s Message to Her Son, in a deep and loving intimacy.
And this devotion and intense love shall lead him every day to reduce his words, discourses and philosophies, and to love in silence and possession of love; eventually, the soul reaches the Mystical Silence through love, where as in those human times of death and sorrow, no words can ever be found.
And while the Son learns how to be quiet, the Master’s Voice shall speak secretly a new language to the soul. It is a language of intuitive love, which shall raise him beyond time and space, where the eternal spirit is dwelling alone.
In this state, every day shall be a feast to him, and he shall live with simplicity among men, but with signals of his Great Journey through the eternal sea.
He shall learn how to recognize –in every philosophy, religion, book and discourse– verities discovered by himself, and shall gave ear to the Master’s Teaching everywhere.
But the Son must come back to the plane of the ordinary living.
He shall not be the same any more, as it was before his great inner experience. His vision of a new life, and the Teaching from the Divine Master’s lips were not in vain.
His living experience, his deeply inner knowledge, and his eternal experience have transformed the Son.
And then, a new fervor is born in the soul; it is a new eagerness never known before; a need for making others take part in his real discovery of the living God, –his discovery of the divine by means of prayer.
This grand experience floods his being and pushes him to convey his good news to those souls that still did not attain this port of blessing that he has just touched.
