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.
Invoking the Presence of the Inner God (that is, to our Source and Self) actually starts with our efforts to achieve inner peace and harmony and with our use of the Power of the Light to re-create our being and world. It starts with the process of “Re-Creating our Being” that we saw in the previous page.
However, the process of Connecting Within is accelerated when we consciously turn our attention to the Source of our being.
How do we invoke the Presence of our Source and Self in our consciousness and life?
When we dedicate some time everyday in MEDITATION to direct our thoughts and feelings towards the Source of our being and to sense the connection that we have with IT, a luminous stream of Energy will flow from the Source towards us.
This luminous stream of Energy is our Source and Self in action flooding us with Perfection, Harmony and Life abundant.
This luminous stream of Energy is all-powerful, and everything in us and in our world that is discordant dissolves before It.
As we can see, this second front of activity in the process of Connecting Within emphasizes the importance of meditating regularly with the intention of aligning our body, our feeling nature, our mind and our highest consciousness into one coordinated whole. It is this coordinated alignment what sounds the invocation to our Source and Self.
Our Source and Self always answers to our call — this is the Law of our Being and the Law of All Being. Thus, we do not need to be concerned with the answer. Our Source and Self is ceaselessly waiting for us to call for Its Presence in our lives. Because of our free will, It does not manifests in us Its boundless blessings until we invoke Its Presence.
Invoking the Presence of our Inner God and the answer we receive are like two magnets that attract each other when the right alignment of their poles takes place: They have no choice but to come together.
It has been the experience of many that in the beginning (of this second front of activity in the process of Connecting Within) they were not aware of the answer coming from the Source. However, as we persevere with our invocation, both the capacity to sense the answer of our Source and Self and the capacity to feel Its Light grow and grow in us.
Connecting Within is thus a process that requires dedication and a regular rhythm of meditation. It involves a re-organization of our time and priorities so that we can have everyday times of quietness for the inner work of alignment and meditation.
Let’s now go to the third front of activity… “Using the Power of the Light”.
