Seven Steps:
Moving from Meditation into Dynamic Prayer
Since 1977, when many of us first embarked on the possibility of following
the true-to-life path of the Jedi Religion and incorporating it into our
lives, many of the present day Jedi High Councillors ended up studying many
different paths of both philosophical, academic and religious disciplines,
seeking to find the golden thread of truth that runs through it all. It has been a long observation of mine since then that meditation is, by its very nature, a passive state. Unless the initial prime motive for meditating is purified, which admittedly can be difficult, it generally ends up feeding the needs of the ego. When we pray we are in a state of active givingness. Meditation works on self, on becoming more masterly. When we pray, we are moving out of the meditative state, from the "me," and are moving into the state of active giving. We are constantly radiating and giving that Light inherent within our Inner Jedi equally to everyone constantly.
This teaching is available to all, to everyone of every creed, culture, and lifestyle.
Take your time with this. Do not rush. Allow yourself the time to fully understand and assimulate the teaching and put it into practical use.
Seven Steps: Preparation
Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed for at least 20 minutes. Close your eyes and breathe deeply and consciously.
If you are burdened about anything happening in your life, try imagining that each breath out removes toxins from your system, and that each breath in fills you with pure white light.
When you are calm and centered, you are ready for the next step.
Seven Steps Explained
Step One:
1. I release my past, negatives, fears, human relations and inner self into the Light
Visualization
Think on a beautiful summer day. See the Sun shining before you. Use your power of visualization to bring that Sun so that it is placed right in front of you.
Release your burdens into that Sun:
1. I release my past, negatives, fears, human relations and inner self into the Light
Your past is everything that has happened to you since the time your were born. If you believe in reincarnation, this can mean everything that has happened to you since your soul was created.
When you think on your past, you can have feelings of regret, remorse, guilt - which can initiate an entire host of negative feelings about self and about others. Release these memories into the Light. Consciously let go of them and see them being consumed by the brilliant Sun before you.
Your negatives are those things you perceive about yourself that you really don't like. You may see them as personal limitations, ignorance, self-hatred, anger and nonforgiveness. Release these things into the Light. Consciously let go of them and see them being consumed by the brilliant Sun before you.
Your fears can be about a host of internal problems. Perhaps the fear of the loss of a relationship, fears about money, things, people, places, events. We do not talk here about the sense of alert that helps us to be careful about our actions. We talk about negative and crippling fear that causes spritual paralysis and lethargy. Release fears into the Light. Consciously let go of them and see them consumed by the brilliant Sun before you.
Human relations can be either positive or negative - our feelings about them, our attempts to possess another, or having another try to possess us, or feelings of resentment regarding the actions or inaction of another. An entire host of psychological problems can be traced back to our human relations, family interactions between ourselves and our father, mother, brother, sister, friend, perceived enemy, bully, teacher. The list goes on and on. Release human relations into the Light. Consciously let go of them and see them consumed by the brilliant Sun before you.
Finally, the monad that you perceive about yourself as the soul - your identity - you. After your releasing - consciously merge into the Brilliant Sun before you. The brilliant Sun is completely in, through and around you - you have become an integral part of that brilliant Sun.
Step Two: Affirmation
2. I am a Light being.
The essence of the soul is spiritual light. It is the native part of who we are. "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." In step two, you are affirming this and claiming it as well as accepting your spiritual inheritance in the Light. See and feel this affirmation deeply and allow the meditation upon it to focus for a few minutes.
Step Three: Turn up the dial
3. I radiate the Light from my Light center throughout my being.
Like a dimmer switch, here you are turning up the Light of the Sun you have become and flooding every atom, cell and electron with ineffible steely white light. Your Light Center is a centered in your heart. See yourself completely immersed and charged with the Light.
Step Four
4. I radiate the Light from my Light center to everyone.
Radiate the intense Light of your inner Jedi, your inner identity in the Light, to everyone you meet, to people you know, to your family, friends, loved ones, and to people you do not know - to everyone.
Step Five
5. I radiate the Light from my Light center to everything.
Flood your room, your home, your block, your city, your nation, your planet, your solar system and your universe with your Light. Radiate the Star of your being to everything.
Step Six: Protection
6. I am in a bubble of Light, and only Light can come to me, and only Light can be here.
Your Light Bubble is about nine feet in every direction - about eighteen feet in diameter. It is an inpenetrable armor of Light that can protect you spiritually from the discord of others and the arrows of hostility.
Protection is very necessary. Use and affirm your Light Bubble throughout the day.
Step Seven - Final step - A heartfelt thank you....
7. I thank the Light for everyone, everything and for me.
Gratitude for the Light blesses the experience and allows us to magnetize even more Light and the abundant life. You are sealing your energies with this final step.
