What is True Occult Meditation by Anne Davies

TRANSCRIPT; DR. DAVIES WHAT IS TRUE OCCULT MEDITATION The topic for my talk this morning is What is true Occult Meditation. Now, the word meditation has become quite popular and unfortunately though though the word itself has become very popular we feel that it has not not come to be understood understood properly. Because it seems to us as we listen to many people sincere spiritual aspirants, aspirants, as well as those that that are just the quick enthusiasts, enthusiasts, it seems to us that most metaphysical and occult minded people have the idea that meditation is some kind of special secret extraordinary mysterious something something which we use in order to escape from the pains the agonies, agonies, the pressures, the problems problems of life. That’s how how it would seem and when we listen at times to those who are supposed to be disciples of supposedly great teachers we keep hearing the idea that doing this or that type of meditation, I will not use terminology because we never tear down any specific group in any way, we just try to give you a new way of thinking, doing feeling and working for you spiritual attainment, so I will not give any names but the idea that seems to be promulgated a great deal from the disciples who supposedly have special training is that since they’re have had this or that or the other, special kind of personal whatever it is that they can now walk in peace, that they never get upset, that they are never troubled and that life has become just one glorious glorious twenty four four hour level of peace. However these very people who seem to feel they have accomplished such something so great like peace, one notices, if we wait long enough that they get into even more trouble than they had before. And if you observe observe it you will see, they they start handling handling their life in a much more foolish manner than before, if that were possible. And off course all of us have handled our lives foolishly, or we wouldn’t have become occult aspirants. I think we should all

recognise this, so finally our very immaturities drive us to search for answers that will help us to get away from the misery the conflict, the sorrows the guilt. Because here is where we run into the problem then, In a effort to get away from these conflicts, these sorrows, these unhappinesses, these resentments etc., there is a tendency in to many schools of thought as well as amongst the disciples to merely give some type of exercise which is similar to taking mood lifting pills, you know, or drugs. In other words, no matter what’s going on around you if you can march around with a nice peaceful or apparently peaceful smile you can say to yourself, gosh look at how spiritual I’m getting, I’m not even getting upset. I mean, we can say to ourselves, but are we giving ourselves a correct statement their. Because much insensitivity goes under the guise of peace, much lack of ability to truly be attuned to ones fellow man goes under the guise of serenity. And so we have to come to understand a little more, what meditation is at least in terms of the Western occult school is teaching and what the aim of meditation is. Because I think that we run up against the most important part of our problem, when we don’t recognise what the aim or what the aims are. Because although there are certainly, usually a final goal or aim, you have to have intermediate goals or aims, in other words you have to take a step at a time as you’re travelling anywhere and so the paths of return on the Qabalistic Tree of Life are indicating these various steps. The lowest portion of that Qabalistic Tree of Life representing the physical plane, the physical vehicle and therefore all the physical conditions both joyous and non-joyous both that which appears as good and that which appears as bad. The actual manifestation is represented by that bottom emanation of the sphere of the activity of the most high. Now all the other paths though are similar to what you might call, the nervous system, this is a symbolic representation, this method, utilising this tree for meditation, which we will talk about in a moment in other ways. This Qabalistic Tree of Life, has been utilised for meditation due to the fact that it helps to get the mind working in such a way as to help it establish relationships with

itself and the outside, and it is in the establishing of proper relationships both with our selves and others that we get to the point where we are able to participate in those realms of consciousness which most of us, especially when we first start travelling the path of return in this incarnation, think should be some marvellous glorious vision or some marvellous beautiful never, never land which would of course then keep us from having a need to concentrate on the here and now or doing anything about the here and now. That is if we were immediately able to get into certain realms which we aspire towards. Now in the Western Occult School of Training the very first thing that is done, the very first thing, is to acquaint the aspirant with the powers of consciousness. Now those who however have power drives will usually misunderstand the reason for this first step. And those who have power drives, that is, those that have great defects in their character, at this point which means they are immature, indeed, will start using these methods or attempt to start using these methods in order to try to force there thinking or feeling or way of being amd doing on another, And so we see those who first start on the path, or at least first become truly interested in occultism, who become so excited at the idea that consciousness creates and that consciousness influences, that they like to tell about walking along the street for example, and deliberately concentrating on the back of somebody’s head in order to force somebody’s head to turn . You know its similar to the power drive one gets when you get behind the wheel of a car, you know some people certainly do experience this power drive and they become a menace to themselves and others. Well we have the same type of thing that occurs to very many people at the beginning of the path, usually those that are true aspirants learn very rapidly, that understanding the powers of consciousness and starting to work with the powers of consciousness certainly does not, and should not include attempting to use ones’ own mind to force thought, action or feeling on another, because this is exactly


the opposite of what you would call acceptance its an attempt you might say to enforce ones own idea of personal will upon another and everything that has been taught in occultism certainly continuous to point to one basic idea, that the great, the most vital goal is to become completely open to the Divine Will and to become a channel for that will. Jesus spoke of this over and over again, as he travelled the highways and byways of Judea and Israel. And those who have had the deeper experiences, always continue to reiterate this one point, that the goal of meditation should be to develop the ability and capacity to become attuned to the divine will and therefore to become a conscious channel for that will, and of course when we get to that point then we are able to truly utilise the meditative methods of the Western occult school of thought more effectively. But let me explain a little bit more about the first step. You know in the lessons you receive through the mail, the first six weeks are taken up with helping you to understand HOW consciousness creates and trying to help you understand also the fact that not only does consciousness create in this manner but that those of us who want to gain control of our own consciousness have to start working with this principle consciously. And of course lots of aspirants not recognizing what is involved in these first six lessons they think that they are studying elementary metaphysics, but nothing could be farther from the truth, because everything that becomes developed to the very extreme of spiritual work has to involve that first area of understanding, that is, consciousness creates and though there are some aspirants who think that they have evolved beyond the need for these first six, seven lessons, we have found that those that have evolved beyond the need for them, have not yet evolved up to the beginning of our work. They need. They still need the elementary metaphysics, they still need the escapist method until they suffer enough repercussions to recognise deeper things, and then they will be ready. From that and following that first group of rules, that are shown, rules not made by us, but rules as they exists, like universal laws, from that one is then guided again through the

lessons to an understanding of the Tarot Keys which are the symbolic representations of the powers of consciousness and start giving each aspirant a way of meditating. I repeat this, gives each aspirant a way of meditating which will help that aspirant to transfer the sense of identity from the changing personality level to the higher self level and the whole secret of true meditation has to do with the ability to change our identification from the little changing personality self to that higher eternal immortal self of us, and then the rest of the work, in all its various phases is based on bringing this growth, bringing this development into full bloom. Step by step by step. But then how can this take place? One of the things every aspirant has to come to recognise, is that being given a certain technique for experimenting with the creative aspects of consciousness, doesn’t mean that we have suddenly been given something new, someway to have power, over others. Because what we come to recognise is that every singular one of us has been using these principles all of our lives and all of our past lives. In other words, consciousness cannot help creating. It is the nature of consciousness to hold images, it is the nature of consciousness to charge these images with emotion, it is the nature of consciousness then to follow almost automatically not almost, but actually automatically, it is the nature of consciousness to automatically follow the habitual kind of images and emotional attitudes of its self toward life toward others. So that everything that we experience, whether it appears like that on the surface or not is the end result of the way consciousness has been imaging and feeling without thought to what this implies. Well then when we come to recognise that it isn’t that we are given something so fantastically new, it is certainly given in a way that is fantastically easy to understand, to study and to put into practice, but when we come to understand that this is universal principle that has been known down through the millennia by those that have been travelling the path of return we then come to realise WHY it is so vital to learn how to meditate properly in order to bring about changes in the way we image and in the way we react emotionally


to all things. This is why because unless we are aware of what we have been doing with images, and with feeling levels, unless we become aware of this, we are not going to be in a position to do anything about changing it. Furthermore, starting to change these things actually has to do with dedicating oneself consciously to the path of return because you see it takes courage, at first, later one wonders why it took courage at all. And as long as we have to hide ourselves from ourselves we cannot at all truly meditate, even though we would like to think we do, because then all meditation becomes really a sought of reverie. Now you know reverie is escape, unless you deliberately consciously having reverie for a few minutes to relax, and then it should not be more than a few minutes, because a habit of empty day dreaming which is reverie is a weakening of the soul, it is not a strengthening of it. And it is the strengthening of the soul that really brings us the ability and the capacity to recognise the wonder of the meditative life, the truly meditative life, as against the false idea of the meditative life. Now then meditation basically is the kind of attitude that can beheld which opens us to the realisations, which opens us to illuminations, which opens us to the insights, to the meaningfulness of things, which before we could not have or see. In a way you might say meditation is to the soul what intellectual analyses is to the mind, our minds may have become trained to immediately start the very beginnings of awakening period of meditation, and of course this is the essence of true Western Occult Training. We don’t expect anybody to learn how to do that immediately either, but lets say this is one of the various goals, to learn how to bring the very first attitude, because meditation really is an attitude, a spiritual attitude, that can be held. But to learn how to bring the very first waking attitude into ourselves, and of course the easiest way to do it is with a Tarot key. Because then you can grab it into your consciousness, and you can identify with it, you can sought of become it very quickly, whereas if you have to argue yourself into it with words its already just about too late,

most of the time. And so you see your shorthand, your images, your tarot images, these are the shorthand of consciousness. So the point is we do have these methods, but these are techniques and too many people fall in love with the techniques. And as Master R pointed out in a very vital communication once, he said, we mistake the scaffolding for the goal. And we have a way of mistaking the methods for the goal. So that some people, and especially, this is especially true in the forms of mediation that are escapist in nature incidentally, which BOTA does not permit aspirants to get into, at least it sure works very hard not to permit. At any rate the falling in love with a method actually is a way of escaping from facing the issues, and what happens then, out world remains small. Our capacity to love remains hampered. Our ability to expand into joy and love is held down because of the fact that we are trying to use an escapist kind of meditation. But when we us the kind of meditation that says give me more consciousness. Give me more awareness, give me more livingness THEN I tell you we are really on the road because that means that we are willing to face the un pleasantness every body has unpleasantnesses in any case, and these are blessings because except you have some thing to overcome there is nothing to drive you, and in fact life becomes boring without problems to overcome we make them as you well know, we make problems if we haven’t got any, because life becomes much to boring, without them. So meditating on changing identification, the tarot and the methods here are given to us, and as we change this identification we pointed out to the higher self, we become pretty much a continuous tarot key 14. You know the holy guardian angel, continuously tempering its personality and animal consciousness levels or we become a continuous tarot key 6 that also where that holy guardian angel Raphael we will be chanting after a while, is continuously inflowing to the lovers to opposite polarities and this also has to do with the ability then to develop beautiful relationships. Because to the degree that we start getting an honest, and happy and transmuting relationship to and with ourselves, to that degree do


we start developing relationships with others that are rich deep and beautiful. To the degree that we do not have to be hippocrates to ourselves, that is deceive ourself to that degree do we stop having other people act as hippocrates towards us and we towards them even though we might not be conscious of it, can you see the point. And this is actually the result of true meditation because in the true Western Occult meditation, the meditation is on growing the personality instrument, along with watching and directing it flow and along with that understanding who and what is the true self, the true grower, the true doer, and out of that then comes the capacity finally, when we work this way to be an open vessel for the divine love, for the divine knowledge, for the divine plan and pattern, the divine will, And when we are become an open vessel for this what happens then is that, we don’t have to try any more to hold certain kinds of attitudes. In other words, its pretty much like as has been said, we get to a point, where we discover, we are not the ones that have ever meditated after all, we have been meditated, by God. In fact we ARE because God meditates us, this is actually the thing that we discover by direct experience. And you see the one thing we all come to realise when we have managed to become more and more of a channel, and we all do, stage by stage when we work with these methods, the one thing that we come to recognise is that to help the one life by consciously working with the meditative methods of self growth, is the most exquisitely rapturous way of life that can be, because then in the midst of anything we still can feel the goodness and yet we are not cheated out of the pain the tender pain of compassion. We can feel the ecstasies of the infinite unity of life, but we are not cheated out of the awareness that there are others who have not yet got these ecstasies and it is up to us to nurture them. We can realise that we have eternal life and that all things in essence of ligingness have eternal life, but we will not be cheated out of that exquisite tenderness protectiveness toward all living creatures. And you see livingness involves the ability, if you have lost the ability to experience the pain of tenderness, you also cannot have

the ecstasy of true love. Can you see it, I hope you can see it, because love and compassion, which is a tender pain go together and we should not want to lose that. We should want to be at one, with all beings as Jesus was. Thy pain is my pain it says in the book of tokens. They tears course down my cheeks. Now this is a true meditative state, because it has arrived at a place where it knows there is no separation, where it knows that all evil is immaturity, it must be fought, but we do not destroy our own souls fighting it. We fight it for reasons of love not for reasons of hate and therefore we fight in a different way. And we more and more then learn how to walk in the raptures, in the ecstasy in the control of the divine meditation on us and at the same time we give back to the Divine all the exquisite details of livingness on the physical plain in all its areas. Don’t’ you think that that sounds much more reasonable and logical as a goal of the divine, rather than the discovery that the physical plane is just an illusion and lets get the you know what out of it? You know, lets just escape. NO. We in Western Occult Work do not want to escape anything, we want more and more of reality beauty and good and that’s what we are going to get together.


Same tape side 2 TRANSCRIPT; DR. DAVIES “MEDITATION-THE GUIDING LIGH”

Meditation the Guiding Light, I think that we can talk little about this guiding light and its relation to meditation. Tarot Key number 17 you see the lovely lady, very beautiful indeed with all the stars in the heavens and the waters and you see the rain? You know they might look like rings in the water, but what is water, it always symbolises consciousness. In all of occultism wherever you see water, you are being given a secret beyond secret, you are being told that consciousness is fluidic and indeed those of us who have experienced the deepest levels of this substance of consciousness, the one thing all of us share, even if there has been different levels of the experience amongst us, we all share the realisation that it is fluidic that it is experienced in such a way that one has no other way of describing this substance except to say it is oceanic and I am sure those of us that have read books, those of us who have at least have read about the mystical experiences of others or levels of cosmic consciousness they may have experienced or touched, I am sure that we will be remembering that these varying mystics have, when they have had the true experiences have always used terms that are similar to oceanic. When certain individuals have meditated, and we will talk about meditation in just a little bit more intensely, but when certain individuals have meditated, for long and long according to worldly points of view, in other words when they have made meditation a way of life, so that they have almost forgotten what its like not to be in a state of meditation, they may not look differently on the outside, such people, but one of the things that is noticed anyone who has a certain sensitivity to vibration will experience an oceanic type of pervading lift from such a mystic,

experience it has been described from times as being pervaded by love waves and waves notice. This is a term that has to do with what? With a fluidic something, oceanic in other words. Now the fact that certain mystics or individuals have been able to experience this touch it, some actually become immersed in this type of awareness doesn’t mean that they are the only ones that have it, that have this substance in them. According to all of the Western Occult Training there isn’t anything within all of the universe that doesn’t live move and have it’s being within this universal cosmic mind stuff. Which, though it cannot be described, can certainly be inferred, one can put ones own consciousness in a questioning state, of what is really meditation. And here something that goes beyond the mere word, which never can give a description of a higher experience, because words belong to the world of the senses. They belong to that which is therefore being experienced within all limited range of vibration, but the actual direct experience of consciousness that is less limited cannot have words to describe it, since words do not belong in that area. They aren’t from that level. I think that we ought to be able to understand this quite well, if we will just remember, one of our favourite analogies. NO one can describe to us the taste of a peach, unless they have tasted it. And if we try to describe the taste of a peach, from somebody else‘s description, we certainly would be just giving them what somebody else said, we would not sharing with them anything that is direct. It is known within the deeper Qabalah, especially, that very often spiritual aspirants make quite a mistake in thinking that those who have a great deal of knowledge about occultism, and they can certainly impress us very much, like on platforms or you know the parlour when we visit each other, some individuals can have vast scholarly knowledge about occultism still these types of people are similar to what has been called an accountant. You know an accountant can take the figures and he can keep very careful and detailed records and he can knowable and what has the money, where it comes from and how its been made but he can’t use it. He can’t use that money


because it doesn’t belong to him. In the same way there are those in occultism who have gone in for reading about the wisdom teaching. For reading about the various techniques and the principles involved. And reading about these things others make the mistake of thinking that because they show this knowledge, which is intellectual that they HAVE the answer, or have the secret. But you see they are like the accountant who has the information, but he cannot use that money. He cannot use these riches, the mystic, the occultist who works with these various meditative techniques, methods, taught right here, who does it assiduously, who does it consistently, step by step becomes the type of individual, who is able to use these riches, in other words, he becomes an owner of these riches. In other words you might almost say a sought of spiritual capitalist. If there were such a word because, as you know almost opposite meanings involved. But certainly the administration aspect is there. Because it is his to administrate, such a person. Now then what we have to do in trying to understand how to utilise meditation so that we will be unfailingly guided. To be unfailingly guided, actually involves the necessity of understanding meditation not like the accountant but understanding it because it becomes our belonging, and when it is our belonging its because we have been using it, meditation is the type of thing you can have only, by using it. You can develop only by practise, it isn’t the type of thing that we can receive for nothing, or what we think might be for nothing. Meditation now lets go back to what meditation is and is not perhaps, at least in some other theory. Meditation is a particular state of consciousness that mind holds itself in, far more readily than most of us recognise. I know in the books, practically in all the books that we read, especially those we get out of the library, most of the books make meditation sound like something very extraordinary, something different, something that most people know nothing about, something that’s very difficult to develop and the result is that I have so many spiritual aspirants at times, that is

when they manage to get to me, look at me yearningly and say Oh I wish I could learn to meditate, you know I tried but I don’t succeed. And I look at the poor darlings because there has never been a time when they haven’t meditated. I realise, that again, here that knowledge about a thing and especially when that knowledge isn’t so, because you see I‘ve been talking about knowledge that might be correct, what about all the extra little goodies that are thrown in when we are picking up knowledge that some body else is giving us. If we don’t know its true we can mix more nonsense with wisdom and because it has a pearl here and there of wisdom we think that we think the nonsense is also true. And so we can be quite a mixture, a really adulterated mixture and in Qabalah we make quite a point of the principle involved in becoming purified, but most people immediately jump to the wrong interpretation of the word. They think becoming purified means that you become a virginal nun or a celibate monk and that you stop thinking about love, union. That you stop thinking about food or wanting it because to love food of course that is considered not very spiritual. But whatever mistaken notion one has been given as to what is or isn’t spiritual, if we have the notion that its not spiritual then we decide purification of us getting rid of it, whereas it might be very spiritual indeed, and its just our notion that might be wrong, you see. Well, we have the mistaken notion then because mainly we have been told, by others, that it is difficult. We have the mistaken notion that meditation is difficult then to learn how to meditate is going to take not only a long time but it is only for those who have the ability first to do this, first not to do that, then there are all sorts of rules and regulations one is given, and the subconsciousness is beautifully conditioned to think that its going to have one fantastically horrible time, learning how to meditate. And so grim determination will develop for those who are very deep aspirants others sigh and try and drop it and say that well it’s so difficult, well you know it depends on the temperament. But again I’m pointing out, when we understand what meditation is, we realise that there isn’t a time that we


haven’t meditated, and let me explain why. Now here in Tarot Key 17, we see this lovely figure of Isis also symbolising the Natural Intelligence, in other words, Isis has unveiled herself, and as its been said, no one, no mortal mind can unveil Isis. Isis unveils herself and mortal man, because you see it’s the higher level of consciousness to which Isis, or wisdom, or the hidden unveils itself. Now how does it unveiling its self? It’s unveiling itself, via the fluidic mind stuff, because the mind stuff is experienced as fluidic. How, or what is the function here meditation, but what is meditation? Alright, when we get up in the morning, even before we’re really awake, if we stop to think what our consciousness does we will see the second we are waking up, we are already meditating, we can be meditating on how unhappy we are, on how much we hate somebody or how much somebody, we think somebody hates us. We can be meditating on misfortune on our hopes, but still, what is it? In other words, the minute the consciousness casts itself upward or outward like fishing, that’s why this Hebrew called the Aramaic character from the ancient of ancient time has been called the fishhook, and deals with meditation, revelation, that’s why its important to recognise the fact that we always meditate, we don’t have to learn how to meditate, it isn’t some fantastic extraordinary, gift that comes only after doing this, and not doing that. We do have to go in for many disciplines indeed, on the occult path of return to god. But the discipline has to do with learning how to use our meditations, consciously. As a guiding light, as a connection between ourselves and the divine, its learning how to use our meditation in such a way that something in us is continuously on a deep, deep, level of the self, saying in essence, without having to use words to say it, saying in essence, thy will be expressed in and through me O Lord of the Universe. Whatever decision I make, I want it to be in accordance with thy will. When we get to the point where we see that meditation is the guiding light, is something that we must learn how to utilise, but it is having the consciousness hold itself with that vast beyond, the vast beyond being, the totality the divine, in

us, that’s why The Star, that’s what this tarot key is called and using, and the Star casts light remember, The Star is a sun basically, it radiates Light. And remember our fraternity, our spiritual work our order, always utilises this light, we sign ourselves always your brother and or your sister, frater or soror, in LVX which is the traditional way of utilising the idea of light since LVX are the three letters used in the ancient Latin terminology for light, that means Light and it is when we learn to guide ourselves via the light which we then discover has been that which has really been guiding us all along, its then that we start learning, how to utilise mediation properly, now lets keep in mind one very important factor here. In the Qabalah, which is the Western method of spiritual development, it doesn’t permit us to go off into these escape mechanisms, if we stay with these teachings it helps us to bring the spiritual powers into earth, which is what we must do. We have this figure showing it very clearly, one leg is on the earth solid earth, and the other is leaning on the waters. We have to bring results onto the physical plane, we have to bring the spirit into, matter, this is the way we, how shall we put it? From the fall which is really the vibratory condensation for the purposes of creation, from this fall we redeem the fallen of centres or sparks of the divine, we redeem them. By redeeming every spark that is part of us, here again we have the ideas of light. We have the idea of the infinite, of space. In cosmic awareness, in cosmic consciousness, which is the result of properly guided meditation, always there is this awareness, not only of this fluidic substance, that interrelates, inter pervades it inter pours, everywhere, it is nowhere absent, it isn’t an outside thing that hits against it goes through, every, all of us, with some more intensely than others, as I shall point out in a moment. But in this experience of this inter pervading fluidic substance, this vastness, there is also the awareness of a beginingless, endless space that’s involved except that it is a substance rather than anything else, and yet, remember words will send us of in the wrong direction if we take them exactly and literally, because higher consciousness cannot be


explained in terms of words. But I always try to do with you, and this is the role of one who has my, the privilege, of my responsibilities, it is the role of the spiritual teacher who has achieved a certain amount of cosmic knowing, to project via the cosmic light, the cosmic substance this rate or level of knowingness, this vibratory rate, this fluidic mind stuff, to help build in the disciples, in the beloved more and more ability and capacity to receive and then finally to consciously experience these more profound enlarged levels of consciousness and the ability and capacity to control more and more of the environment because of this higher, deeper, ray of consciousness, this is why in the work we always speak about the hierarchy, cause there is always layers upon layers, levels upon levels of these consciousness, that have attained different rates. And so whatever we permit ourselves to be hunting for with our consciousness, if we are hunting, for evidence of not being loved, liked or treated well we are naturally are going to get it. Because we are going to catch the fish that we are angling for, don’t you see? If we are hunting around to see, who we ought to avoid, why we are going to find out that there are more and more of them, because we become better and better, at getting the exact fish that our consciousness holds. And so we become better and better at catching misery fish you know instead of joy fish. And only when we come to the point where that guiding light, as I pointed out, has to do with wanting the divine will and only when that divine will becomes something to us, that has to do with the fullness of loving, of wanting to do the benevolent, the right, the loving thing, and wanting to do it with joy, wanting to do it with flowing out pouring, without expectation of return, because lots of people want to give, so that they will get something back. I think Khalil Gibran mentioned in the book of Prophet, they get there reward, he doesn’t go on to say exactly, sometimes these rewards are not very good, but this implied, because anyone who give to get they will finally they will attract people who are only giving them, so that they will get

something back, you don’t discover or experience true giving and flowing. Now the desire to just have the capacity to love, to give to serve comes only with the ability to perfect our selves, comes when our meditation becomes such that every single moment of our lives are looked upon as an opportunity to perfect our out flowing givingness and not wanting to get back, we remind you, I want to remind you. In other words when we want love, we are telling subconsciousness all the time that we haven’t got it, and so we are not going to have it with abundance and more and more abundance, we will be rejected all over the place, so we have to stop abusing our meditative powers, bringing ourselves more darkness and tears. What we want is that guiding light, that beauty. The only fulfilment there is in the universe is what we will all discover sooner or later, so lets do it sooner, the only fulfilment there is, is developing the capacity to want to love, and not only want to, but top just go head and love. I know there are some people I have sought of expressed my love towards at times who seem to want to kick I back, and at first when I was a lot younger my feelings would get hurt and I’d feel rejected and I thought Oh Oh then one day in my meditations hunting for an answer, I thought Oh Oh, that’s one hundred percent the wrong way to feel for a spiritual aspirant. If they don’t want to let me to express my love outwardly, ok, I’ll find something that does. This guy isn’t going to fight with me about it or the breeze or the tree certainly not the song of the bird, I can send my love out, it will just go out into infinitude and my mind can be saying gee I love you, of course after a while you become so adept at having the exquisite joy of just loving, and in a final analyses what we discover is that since everyone and this means, everyone, deep down in the bottom of their souls they want to be loved, they want to be appreciated, no matter how they maybe working it in reverse. But for this morning at least, lets take home this basic idea that meditation is not something we have to learn to do. What we have to learn to do is keep our meditation with the patterns that are in harmony with


our highest spiritual desires, in order to do that of course we do have to learn how to keep ourselves remembering, in the tarot, working with the tarot helps us to do this. What we want to take home with us today is the determination, the real determination that we want to learn how to be so grateful for somebody to love that we are going to do everything in our power when we have it not to start destroying it by being forgetful or selfish, learn how to say from our hearts, thank you god, that I have this love or beloved, whether it’s a husband wife or friend or pet our garden, thank you that I have this to love, give me the capacity to keep remembering to love it and to be grateful for this love and to tenderly care for it and nurture it, your meditation then will be bringing more and more light not only to yourself, but to all living creatures everywhere in the universe and sorrow will become a thing of the past.
