Religion, at its best, has always spoken to the need for conscious union with our Divine Creator. Many have referred to the joy resulting from such a conscious union. Many have also told of the wonders of redemption and healing which follow. Few, however, have set forth a definite technique, a practical method whereby 'one can come into real awareness of the Presence of God, step by step. Seldom have they shown the individual how to talk to God, how to listen when God speaks, or how to reach the level of thinking and living that leads to rebirth into a new plane of consciousness. I gladly shares with all who come seeking the light.
This teaches you how to put this technique into practice. It is suggested that you to set aside at least one hour each day for regular study and meditation. Your success depends upon your enthusiasm and faithful practice.
You may already be aware of affirmations and know how to use them. Using of affirmations is to remind ourselves repeatedly of eternal truths. This leads to an inner quickening, in which we gain confidence and trust in the truths to which the affirmations point. In a later lesson, we will fully explain affirmations both in principle and in practice.
It is highly suggested that you to use the affirmations as a basis for your meditation at the close of your own personal study period on a daily basis. Also, use affirmations as often during the day as possible. Repetition is one of the surest ways of impressing a statement upon your subconscious phase of mind. A basic goal of spiritual education is this: to synchronize the conscious and subconscious levels of mind so that they function together under the guidance of the Indwelling Christ.
Those whose schedules permit will often find mornings the best time for study and prayer, with a short period of evening meditation. It is helpful to choose a time when you are least likely to be interrupted. We urge you to take enough time to put into daily practice whatever aspect of truth is being emphasized.
MAY THE PEACE OF THE INDWELLING CHRIST ABIDE WITH YOU!
