Going Home To The Source

The the welcome to active meditation in this meditation we discover the cosmic energy field and connect with the ocean of light and life our source of wisdom,

Power and love as we might park our car we can figuratively park our body we can also park any concerns we have about our outer world if we need to connect with special worries once again after our meditation we can easily do this for the next few minutes let's clear a calm space to give our full attention to things that are encouraging positive and meditative do this now put aside any current worries or concerns that you might have I'll be quiet while you do this as we begin to relax our body and mind we leave our body in a comfortable position relaxed and content we are not going to need our body for this meditation we close our eyes to decrease any distracting sensations that may disrupt our attention as we relax I will direct our thoughts towards a higher or inner and more powerful level of awareness where we will become more familiar with the real I our higher self we will be in a position to acknowledge I am I am aware I will guide us out of the maze of our outer levels of thought and feeling to do this I will point out what we are not so we can stop identifying with ideas emotions sensations or beliefs that keep us trapped in the outer levels of our mind in our ego now ask yourself who am I?

Are we a physical body?

Or are we something more?

Think about the fact that the body changes it moves about our body can be tired one moment and refreshed another it can be tense or relax sick or healthy sometimes it is weak and later it becomes refreshed and strengthened it is obvious that we have a physical body however there is something about us which is separate and greater than our body something in us that continues from moment to moment as a silent witness to the changes of our body our body is the vehicle through which we experience and move in the physical world it is our body and we want to keep it in good health we have a body but we are not just a physical body we are something far greater who are we?

Part of our personality is made up of emotions and feelings but they also change from moment to moment we can be angry or peaceful depressed or happy anxious or relaxed while our higher self the real I always continues unchanged as the silent witness of all our emotions our feelings are one of our instruments of awareness they are the faculty that we use to express our outlook we need our emotions and we are grateful that we can apply them constructively but we are far more than just our emotions we have emotions we use emotions but then again we are not our emotions our higher self is far more again ask yourself who am I?

We have desires and ambitions to do things but these also change from time to time we may want one thing now and dislike it later our mental desires and emotional desires and conflicted times and agree with others something in us can observe and adjust our desire from time to time our desires are something that we use to give direction to our mental and physical activity we have desires the real I am is far more than just our desires who are we?

We have a mind and intellect that thinks our thoughts change rapidly as they move from one idea to another to people,

Places and things from facts to fantasies and so on sometimes our thoughts flow by themselves other times we consciously direct them we use our intellect to think about our experiences and ideas yet our higher self continues unchanged directing or watching the flow of these thoughts we have an intellect that thinks nevertheless the real I our higher self is far more than just our intellect ask who am I?

In our lives we perform diverse activities and play many roles we might be active in business or a profession at an office or working at home a buyer or seller we might be a student or teacher we may possibly play the role of a parent or a child a spouse or partner in our life we play many roles and they do change from time to time we continue from moment to moment observing our instruments of awareness as they freely perform different activities and play many roles but we are not just an actor playing a role the real I am our higher self is meant to be the producer and director of all the action in our life so just what are we then?

We are not the physical body although we have one we are not our emotions or desires although we have them too we are not limited to any one activity or role we are not our intellect or thoughts since we are capable of changing them we are centers of consciousness points of awareness in a notion of light and life it is the universal timeless omnipresent part of our being the real I am the permanent I that is in tune with all the elements of our life and affairs this center of consciousness works like a lens it focuses energy from the ocean of life into our physical body to give our body added vitality it focuses love into our emotions and feelings to give us more compassion and greater empathy it focuses knowledge from the ocean of light and life into our thoughts to give us greater access to our intuition and insight and understanding we are the observer of all the activities of our physical body and emotions we are the witness of our desires and thoughts we truly are the perceiving presence which is the only permanent element in our existence it is this center of consciousness our immortal essence that gives us a sense of existence and identity and enables us to truly know I am I am aware our real I am this point of awareness observes all that we do and all that happens to us this observer our lens of awareness is capable of focusing the resources of the ocean of light and life to transmit energy,

Knowledge and love to our instruments of awareness into our body our emotions our desires and into our intellect as we become more aware we move from bondage to freedom to liberation the state in which we can master all that our mind thinks and all that our emotions feel the state in which we can guide all the desires that arise and what our body does we are a point of awareness through which energy flows to strengthen and move the physical body we are a point of awareness through which love and understanding flow to transform our desires and feelings we are a point of awareness through which wisdom and intuitive knowing flows to expand our thinking we are a point of awareness through which joy flows to give us a greater love of life rest in these concepts for a few moments reflect on the meaning and significance of them this ocean of life that surrounds us has a point of awareness that seems like a vast benevolent white light and as it shines it appears to grow brighter and brighter until it shines right through us and as it passes through us we begin to glow and we begin to radiate this light as well and as we begin to glow our awareness expands in all directions from all sides love and below let it grow by trusting it as a child trusts an ideal parent until quiet joy arises the joy of being alive and provided for by life itself until we have a greater insight into the presence of life in us and in other forms of life and we comprehend that this ocean of light and life is a true universal mentor to all of us a resource for healing,

Comfort and guidance a resource to support us in recognizing our main purpose in life the ocean of light and life our home where we are protected and safe relax in peace and tranquility rest in the ocean of light and life in peace and tranquility and now we can comprehend that we are something greater than our sensations and experiences we can always come out of this level of awareness and return to our waking state of thoughts and actions simply by wanting to when we do this later on we will return alert and feel refreshed now that we are aware of our higher self our essence the real I AM we are able to link ourselves with the part of us that is our source of happiness,

Beauty,

Understanding and love we are able to link ourselves with the part of us that uses intuition and insight we are able to link ourselves with the part of our being that can project our awareness beyond this room beyond the limit of the physical senses we are able to link ourselves with the part of us that is aware of the intelligence of other forms of life in the ocean of life such as other people and forms of intelligence higher than human and we can do this consciously and remember and understand the information that we receive it will be easy to return to this level of awareness by recalling the memory of this state and every time we make an effort to do this we will find it easier to accomplish we will achieve a more effective and powerful level although there sometimes may be discouragement,

Resentment,

Fear or doubt deep down we all know we have the strength,

The skill and the now to do many worthwhile things because we can because we want to because our higher self will help us any worry,

Doubt or unpleasant memory just won't bother us that much anymore we will feel calm,

More relaxed we will be more confident and optimistic more in harmony with whatever is best for us we will be more secure with the knowledge that we can meet each situation in our life successfully we can always use these powers of mind to help ourselves and others in any way that benefits everyone involved we should never use these powers to harm ourselves or others such as by being worried,

Afraid,

Angry or doubtful or we will simply stop using these inner levels of mind let's return to the regular waking state of thoughts,

Feelings and actions comfortable in all our instruments of awareness our body,

Emotions,

Desires and our intellect as we re-enter time and space we know that our personality has made progress in becoming a true reflection of our higher self the real I AM take a few deep breaths to help establish the waking state and return fully alert and fully aware of our environment and know God has made us you
