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. But all blood is renewed in few days. If that blood is ever renewed, then why do habits persist?
One’s renewed blood is clean, but our being stains it with actions. If we were able to break for some few days the link with the past, our blood would not be spoiled and we could truly start again a purer and cleaner life.
One’s blood is stained by actions; later, our blood turns against us. We need to break mechanical chain vices of the Black Lady, to discontinue the sequence of good and evil, to cut in one go the chain of causes and effects of the past. God and blood will take charge of the constant renewal of our blood. Our being must take charge of dying, since the Divine Mother will deal with reviving it. But how to die? This is the most difficult part.
The Divine Mother gives ever life, she is life; but one’s being knows only one thing: to pervert this life that we are given. When for some few moments we learn how to kill this chain of perverted habits, our life will follow by itself the Divine Mother’s pure and healthy blood.
“The ABYSS”. Also it is blood that unites Humanity. Many persons consider that the highest altruism is to offer their blood for some fair cause: fatherland, social movements, ideals; but apparently the highest, most useful and long-range offering is to regenerate the individual Humanity in us, by transforming all human aspects into a higher type.
Perhaps are not evils of the world caused by the lack of a visible model to imitate? Between Jesus is two-thousand years from us. Where is on Earth the real man, not the transmitter of an idea or movement? We need on this Earth the man-man, the man whose mission emanates from him. Simone Weil, Gandhi, Schweitzer, Ramakrishna, Gurdjieff, Lenin, Roosevelt, Einstein were not men; they were a reservoir: from them the Divine has arisen with different manifestations –social, scientific or supernatural; but none of these things can solve our fundamental problem. That self-valuable man-man, the archetype for two-thousand millions of little men, still is non-existent. May be he Maitreya?
Let us think that in ourselves, in the deepest and unknown point of our beings underlies this exact human archetype; we should not wish another thing until we achieve it. If we do, this will be the best triumph over the abyss. All men have also this inner archetype.
