Course XX - Teaching 8: Affective Passive Meditations

Souls whose minds get tired by successive images and ideas need graphic and simple images and ideas for their exercises of meditation; for instance, as follows: The “BLACK LADY”. Effect: “ABHORRENCE”.

Course XX - Teaching 10: Stimulating Affective Metitations

Meditation: The “BLACK LADY”. Effect: “ABHORRENCE”. Invocation: Oh crucified Lord of mine, please give me the wonderful gift of entering the mysteries of your adorable and divine blood. If You grant to my soul the benefit of entering the mystery of only one drop of your most precious blood, I will be safe for the whole Eternity, and will discover the supreme secret of the true love, of the Real Love.

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.
