I think it's time that I took note of Sharon's posts. They are always short and sweet and are like salt that seasons the list. She is always supportive of new people and never overlooks a compliment or supportive statement that needs said. This is especially admirable considering personal problems she and Richard are going through. You are always noticed and appreciated by list members as are all the rest of you.
Meditation Continued:
As you feel and see yourself in the body of Christ sense the presence of the other members of the group in the body with you communing with Him and say the final stanza:
"That through us Your Light and Love and Power is manifest to all the Sons and Daughters of mankind."
As you say the word Light you see a ring of white light materializing where the group was standing in a circle before you entered the center. Then as you say love you see a multitude of colors added. Finally when you say power you find yourself back in your original position, but sensing a greater endowment of these three aspects.
Now you look toward the center again and instead of an image of Christ you see a person who you have personally had a relationship with in this life. This is the person who has caused you more grief and irritation than any other. This is the person you would go farther out of your way to avoid than any other. As you reflect there is one person that comes to your mind and he or she now appears clearly in the center in the place of Christ.
This person now speaks: "My form has changed, but the Christ is still here. Whatsoever you feel and do unto the least of these my brethren, you do unto me.
"This person you see before you is your savior. If you can see past the illusion of harm he has done you and forgive him so you can see the Christ then this person saves you from your sins. Without him/her you could never experience the pure love of God which is salvation."
Finish the meditation by looking at this irritating person and feel the irritation and other negative feelings transform into joyful love as you see his face change to the face of Christ. When you have successfully done this so only the Christ is seen in the center you see a look in His eyes that says come to Me and suddenly it appears that only you and the Master are present and you run to Him and he takes you in his loving arms and holds you for as long as you desire.
Note: You may have to run through this several times for a successful completion, but it will be worth the effort.
If you have interesting experiences or difficulties here feel free to post them.
