The Art of Meditation

"In this work we are at that place in consciousness where the Christ must be experienced. For years we have talked and heard about the beauty of the Christ, the power of the Christ, and the healing influence of the Christ -- that Spirit of the Lord within us. Many of us also have been blessed through some other person's attainment of this Spirit of God. Now the time has come when we should no longer depend upon talk or upon the illumination of some other person. We must have the experience for ourselves, so that we can be in this world but not of it, walk up and down this world and yet not be a part of it, walk in and out of the discords and inharmonies, as well as the pleasures and harmonies of this world, and through it all maintain our spiritual integrity. We lose all sense of having to do something, or having to know something, or having to understand something. There is a relaxing of personal responsibility, and we rest in stillness and in quietness in the realization that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Let us be beholders, watching God at work in His universe, recognizing a transcendental Being as It performs Its work through our consciousness."
