Connecting Within is the process of expanding our individualized self-consciousness into the omnipresent Consciousness of the Source of All. It is the process of realizing that our individualized self and the One Self are ONE.
What does it mean “to re-create our being”?
Even before we are born, we begin to create an idea of ourselves and to construct an image about ourselves.
Throughout our incarnate life, we continuously contemplate this idea and image of ourselves with the power of our mind, most times automatically and unaware of what we are doing.
We also magnetize this idea and image of ourselves with the power of Love that resides in us, a power that we direct with our feelings and desires.
This is so because the energies and substances that constitute our being automatically suffer modifications according to the blueprint that we are presenting to them; that is, according to the idea and image of our SELF that we are holding in our mind and feelings.
The goal is to use this Mighty Power to create a new idea and image of ourselves that is truthful to the highest vision of perfection and fulfillment that we have.
But for this inner creative activity to really work we need to organize our daily rhythm in such a way that it includes special times of quietness for us; in other words, we need to organize our actions. During these times of quietness, we consciously and intentionally proceed to re-create, in perfection and beauty, the idea and image that we have of ourselves.
During this process of re-creating our being we do not work with the resources of the physical body to build a perfect anatomy. This is the first thing to keep in mind.
We re-create our self-image with the Power of our mind and feelings. By creating at this inner level, we are actually generating and handling a pure energy that no force in the Universe can oppose.
The second point to keep in mind is that in the process of re-creating ourselves we are not creating the image of a perfect role that we can play.
Contrary to appearances, every human being has a unique potential by far much greater than any transitory human role. In the process of re-creating our self-image we are creating the Temple in which the boundless potential of the First Born of the Infinite Source of Creation can manifest without any restraint.
The third point to keep in mind is that the process of re-creating ourselves is not going to be accomplished with the efforts of a month, not even with the efforts of a year.
This is a process that never ends because our potential is unlimited and ever expanding. Nonetheless, when we persevere in the task, the effects of our mental and feeling creative activity will always begin to manifest clearly in our lives.
With these three points in mind, How do we actually re-create our being?
Re-creating our being according to the Divine Blueprint of Perfection is a dual task:
- Under the direction of our thoughts and feelings, we use the power of The Light to consume (that is, to transmute) all the discordant creations in our form and in our lives.
- Using the same power of The Light under the direction of thoughts and feelings, we then proceed to re-build our being and lives.
The LIGHT is the Presence of our Source and Self Itself.
The LIGHT is a self-luminous Presence endowed with Perfect Intelligence and All-mighty Activity.
The LIGHT is present everywhere; yet because of our free will, Its beneficial rays cannot be of much use to us unless we direct our attention to It.
To facilitate the initial work of those who feel attracted to re-create themselves in the image and after the likeness of Beauty, Harmony and Perfection, we offer an inner meditation exercise. This inner exercise applies the ideas presented here and describes the general steps to be followed in the task of re-creating our being. It also shows a practical way to apply the Mighty Power that flows with every one of our thoughts, feelings and actions.
This meditation exercise can be found in “The Hall of Learning” grouped with other suggested meditations.
Lets now go to the second front of activity in the process of Connecting Within… “Invoking The Presence”.
