PREPARATION
Settle to meditate in your usual way. Once settled and still, say and write the following several times:
I have the power to conceive of and enter into creative emptiness, and I have my divine guiding spirit to help me.
As you repeat the phrase, observe and note any objections, any resistance to allowing the words to permeate your being. By working with the words, you may come to believe them, but if not, just take note and go on “as if”.
BEGINNING
a) Use your Conscious Ego Self (CES) to express your intention for this exercise – to become a receptacle for the Christ Consciousness, and to express it by facing the fear of your emptiness.
b) Call on your Divine guiding spirit to help you in this process
SPIRITUAL LAWS
(I’ve wondered about putting this section in here or after Working with the Fear. Take your pick!)
Like many spiritual truths, the spiritual laws relevant to entering into Creative Emptiness appear contradictory and paradoxical. But the apparent dualities are resolved as we take them into ourselves in the truth of unification. We are asked to feel into the laws and ask our inner being to relay their comprehension to our mind, rather than trying to understand with our mind.
a) Challenge your “emptiness” (that nothing is there), – yet welcome your emptiness
b) Be expectant – yet be free from preconceived notions of what should happen and how.
c) Be specific – yet specifics must be light and neutral.
d) Let your outer mind hold itself poised for all possibilities – yet your outer mind must become still and empty
e) Let your mind rest; do not hold opinions, be neutral – yet open your limited mind to new ideas and possibilities
f) Open to inspiration in this process – yet opening to the Greater Universal Consciousness must not be approached in a spirit of magic that is supposed eliminate the becoming, the learning, the growing process.
WORKING WITH THE FEAR
This is the central part of the process: finding, admitting, facing, exploring and questioning the fear. The shortness of the guidelines are in inverse proportion to the length and depth of the necessary work!
1) Use your CES to decide to face the fear of your emptiness, and deal with it openly
2) Begin to feel into becoming empty.
a) The Guide suggests that what may first come up are some “limited beliefs” about being an open receptacle. Check this out. “Visualize the boundaries of your mind by questioning all the things you think are impossible for you. Puncture the limited mind.”
3) Use your CES to: a) identify, b) face and explore and c) question your fears.
a) The lecture suggests the fear might be of “being nothing”, or disappointment, or even fear of actually finding the new consciousness. (Yikes, then what!)
b) Allow Child Consciousness and Lower Self to speak openly and fully, and at whatever length is needed (3 voices).
c) Ask “What is the truth of the matter?” about your fears. Examine misconceptions and possible negative intent.
NB: In this exploration and questioning, make the connection between your Fear, your Pride and your Self Will.
BEING CREATIVELY EMPTY
1) Use your CES to decide to go quietly into the emptiness: to welcome and embrace it in spite of any still existing fear-
2) Go into a stillness meditation, and after some moments use your CES to let yourself become creatively empty
“Feel your whole inner being – including your body and your energetic inner being – vibrantly alive. Energy goes through it, feelings go through it, and something else is vibrantly coming to the fore. You cannot as yet name it.”
3) Ask your Divine guiding spirit to fill you with Christ Consciousness in order to instruct, guide and help you in any specific situation.
I ask the spirit world to send us blessings and guidance as we go into this meditation.
