To Make the Viewpoint of the Divine Realm Your Own (5)

(Continued from last time)

The first stage of putting divine perception to use

The inner reflection through meditation we talked about earlier is done in a time and setting where you can face yourself calmly on your own. But most people living and working in modern society can’t have much of that kind of time, and if everyone just meditated all the time, society couldn’t function.

So now let’s talk about something you can do in daily life, while working or spending time with your family: [the first stage of putting divine perception to use].

It is to keep consciously speaking words of light, so that the habitual thoughts that casually cross your mind become thoroughly thoughts of light.

First, at times when you aren’t talking with or listening to anyone, it’s good to keep repeating prayer words of light in your heart along with deep breathing.

And when you’re in conversation with someone, if a thought that strays from divinity appears in your mind, immediately overwrite and save it in your heart with words of light, and return it to heaven.

Heaven in this case doesn’t mean somewhere far away up in the sky. It means the consciousness of the light of life at the very bottom of your own consciousness.

Also, this practice of holding firmly to divine consciousness can be used in the same way when you’re alone, so it’s good to do it the whole time your consciousness is in your physical body (the whole time you’re awake). (When there’s no one around, saying it out loud is more effective than saying it in your heart.)

As you keep this up, the thoughts you send out without thinking naturally become thoughts of light. Without having to force yourself, before you know it you become a thinker of light, your destiny goes even better than you hoped, and you can draw and bring forth a life that is happiness itself, where you feel nothing but happiness.

That isn’t a state you got by asking someone else to do it for you. It’s a destiny you created through the use of your own consciousness, so as long as your thoughts don’t stray from the divine realm, that happiness will never crumble.

One more thing we can say: that state of consciousness is a state of the divine realm that transcends dualistic states of consciousness such as good and bad, happy and unhappy, healthy and unhealthy, rich and poor. So you won’t be swayed by someone’s words or actions as before, feel bad emotions, or be thrown into confusion, lost and troubled.

So if you make this first-stage state of consciousness your own, you can keep walking the path of absolute happiness, with a destiny that isn’t so flimsy it crumbles at the first sign of trouble.

People in that state never shift the blame onto others no matter what happens to them, so their emotional thoughts don’t get thrown into turmoil.

First, please guide yourself so that you can make the state of mind of that stage your own. (Use your consciousness consciously.)

Once you get that far, everything after is just an application of it, so you can evolve your consciousness several times faster than your pace until then. (To be continued)
