“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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The “TWO WAYS”. All souls in the world are predestined. One day, when the soul realizes its existence, freewill and ego, already this soul is almost formed: inadvertently, education, customs, society, habits and subconscious, have formed it rigorously.
The “GOLDEN TEMPLE”. As one living and appreciating, with our memory, positive and negative results of our experiences, we are learning not only how to foresee results, but also to measure life with a new measure of the time.
