Course XX - Teaching 9: Other Affective Passive Meditations
Subject: The “GOLDEN TEMPLE”. Effect: “CONSOLATION”.
Invocation:
I ask the Holy Mother: grant me the consolation of Your Divine Vision. Please, allow me to see You, Mother of mine.
Imaginative Picture:
I do not see, but I see, Mother of mine.
I see Your Image here, in the center of my soul, in my innermost being.
I do not see You, but I see You, Mother of mine.
Sensations:
Through this vision of faith, I sense the Mother inhabiting my soul, my Mother in me, totally in me: in my soul, in my heart, in my entrails. I am sure of this miracle, my faith is unbreakable, and this certainty is higher than that of my own sight. I sense this certainty of my Divine Mother in me, as the highest consolation of a poor soul on this Earth.
Purposes:
My purpose: to remain always in the Divine Presence of the Divine Mother in me.
My purpose: to think many times a day: She is here, calls you and sees you.
Consequences:
Through the Divine inner Vision of the Divine Mother, I get consolation of faith and strength, consolation of endurance and perseverance, permanent consolation that She will disclose Herself in me on Earth, with Her total glory and infinite beauty when I achieve my inner liberation.
Subject: The “VEIL OF AHEHIA”. Effect: “BLISS”.
Invocation:
I ask the Holy Mother: please grant me to enjoy and live Your own life.
Imaginative Picture:
Mother of mine, I see my gradual self-dilution in You.
I see how every person disappears in Your Eternal Life; I disappear in You.
Sensations:
I sense how my own being disappears personally, as a whole, in the Divine Mother.
I sense now it is not me who lives, but She is who lives in me. I sense how Her life flows continuously, transforming everything around, and Her own life makes me participate in the infinite bliss.
I sense the true happiness is not to live by one self, but to live in Her.
Purposes:
My purpose: to stay hidden, properly concealed and quite detached from everything.
My purpose: may the Life of the Divine Mother –Her Will, Her Eternal Expression– is externalized only in me.
Consequences:
Through this concealment in the Life of the Mother, I succeed in achieving full life physically, mentally and spiritually.
Subject: “RESURRECTION OF HES". Effect: “RAPTURE”.
Invocation:
I ask the Divine Mother: please, grant me the ecstasy of Your Divine Presence.
Imaginative Picture:
I see my inner essence like a subtle and radiant veil mixed and identified with the Divine Essence of the Holy Mother.
Sensations:
I sense this ecstasy of union like a deep peace, incomparable calm, final and soft staying and feeling. I sense this ecstasy as if life and death had disappeared in me, remaining only my essence through a subtle feeling and an almost imperceptible knowledge of eternal becoming.
Purposes:
My purpose: to reach constantly an ecstasy of Peace; that inner Peace that, far away from big flights and deep disappointments, is permanent and steady happiness. Peace is the purpose of my life. Peace, supreme ecstasy and happiness.
Consequences:
Mother of mine, I succeed in living a deep peace in all my outer and inner senses. It is only you that live in me.
