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”.
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:
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.
Please recall this, the exercise of Affective Meditation leads ordinary feelings to transmute internally into goods of the soul by making them fit for a gradual higher identification with the Image created during the practice of Discursive Meditation.
