Entering into the closet in secret but seeking God’s will not your own.
Matthew 6:6-8
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
S Here is that which is the directive of going within into that place of silence, that which is meditation. But also warning that ye should ask God what is best for self, not tell God what is best for self. For He that answers thy prayers will answer them at times to that which is your own misdoing, if ye would so have it. For it is a learning situation, even in the prayer, even in that which is as meditation.
Meditation and the danger of raising the Kundalini force by using mantras without proper preparation.
RAM Reading 10-10
Q. Can you give in detail the perfected way of raising the forces and tell how the thyroid is to be vibrated?
S Well, it is not the thyroid just to be vibrated here but all. It is through the mantras, see, first of all through (and it takes years, understand) the perfecting of the touching of self’s hands upon those areas until each one has learned to vibrate through that which is as AUM or the mantras, see, the hymns. In those peoples of the East, it began as the lower centers touching with the fingertips; the four finger tips with the thumbs upward pointing as these mantras were declared, as the prayers were given, and upon the feeling and the knowledge – and there are feelings, see, to a great degree of the vibrations. Then it is moved to the next, and the next, until all these centers vibrate at the call, not at the touch, but at the call to the meditation.
Q. Is there any particular prayer which could be used with this?
S It is not for this entity or any entity in this room to use. There is no less than five years would be involved with any of you in the learning processes. First, there is none here that has devoted selves so fully to the cleansing and to the search that could use this method. Then it is dangerous.
Discussion on affirmations, and not getting stuck on the words but seeking guidance from within…. an affirmation is given but to be used judiciously and not for long.
Ram Reading 10-139
Q. Is there an affirmation which would be more applicable for use on desire? Please clarify this seeming discrepancy?
S Of course. But next week it must change for the success of the first, and each following time it would change and change. For, you see, do not become as one-tracked onto a certain thing. And this is what is meant by the heathens in their prayers, reciting many times, over and over, those things which are absolutely meaningless. Only meaning can be applied to a progressive self. Therefore, that is why you have been given meditation. Your meditation is that which progresses self. Each entity, each individual, must find his or her way. You have a source within you that is beyond that which is measured in affirmations given through any source. For you have that which is the tie with the God Force within the Christ, that will change each and every need, each and every service, each and every thought, if you would but use it. Then, if you must cry out, if you must seek, use this but only for the short time, at the beginning:
“Lord, My God, in faith I come to you seeing that Thy Love overcomes all that is negative in my life, as I think negative to be. Oh, Father of love and mercy, hear my prayer and put me on that which is the right path in the right plane at this time.”
Warning about opening the centers too quickly for you could be overwhelmed
Mark 3: 8-12
And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him. And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. And he straightly charged them that they should not make him known.
S Here is a warning for selves. In the search, in the awakening, it must be done step-by-step through faith, through steadfastness – not in one huge opening – lest you be overwhelmed by that which is yourself and the causation of you being yourself. You must find that which is steady and that which will weather the storm and float upon the seas of life that you may call forth the truth and not be overwhelmed or destroyed in that which is the opening, that which is the search.
In meditation when opening up the higher centers there will be a need to cleanse that which we have created as blocks
Mark 3:13-15
And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
S As you awaken physically, mentally, and yes, spiritually, as you overcome the blocks that you have set up for yourself, as there is a flow of truth within your being through that which is the endocrine system and the opening up of the higher glands, then there is that which must be accounted for. There is that which must be cleansed that the body may be made whole and the actions truthful and purposeful in that which is God. The twelve representing here the twelve main (nervous or) nerves within that which is the cranium, controlling the entire body.
Warning to those who misuse meditation.
Matthew 23: 37-39
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, ‘Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.’ “
S For if ye would find Christ, if you would find Him who is your Elder Brother, who is the Way, the Door, the Path, then you must go into yourself, into that place which is Jerusalem, the mind, the spiritual understanding place, or that which evaluates (ye), that which uses the faculties, that which ascertains and evaluates and not be biased. For when this center is biased, when this operation is biased, ye stone the prophets, you shut the door on that which is Him who is thy help, thy light, thy way. And until self can truly prepare, and, in truth, live that which is given, then ye cannot turn to Him – though he wishes you to, and stands awaiting, arms open, hands out. But how often is He ignored! For this is the warning: there are those who wrap themselves in the cloak of love, spirituality, and yet they are Jerusalem.
Warning not to cast aside the Word, the Message, the Light
Mark 11: 30-31
The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
S Here is the call sending forth clearly: awaken within yourself. For if the messenger has come, if the word is present, in whatever form that it has come (be it by organized religion, by experience, by dream, by the calling from the soul within yourself to find the path), then cast it not aside, label it not. For when you do, you destroy that which is the creative, that which is the hope, that which is the seeker within yourself.
S In that time when the call is answered, in that time when there is an awakening within yourself, then you, too, will find that which is the Christ. Doubt Him not, cast aside not that which is the Light. Cover it not, for it is the truth. It is your salvation. It is your way.
Warning about selfishness instead of others first, and the power of the mind to separate us from God.
Revelation 2: 20
S This is a warning to the mind of the individuals and that which is the ego of the individuals that tear that which is the spiritual search asunder, putting it into that, then, which is the category of selfishness or, instead of “others first, Father”, self first, self. It is the worship of self which is rampant through the history of mankind. It is the worship of that which is the material, that which is, in a sense, power of the flesh and power of the mind used to then establish individuals as separate from God.
