Purification practice of the heart.

---

This is the Meditation of the heart. The heart is not of the body and of the body. It is the heart and more; for it reaches into the Heart of That Which Is. And by the Love, both the Greater and the Lesser, IT transforms and lifts one toward the ONLY HEART that is. This is a very old practice. This purification provides a way of transformation within oneself. The key to it is found in Intent. For intent opens the way. It is the key to capacity. And in the turning of oneself to the ONESELF to lift, and clean and make one pure, that Divine responds in kind. It is the cleansing and polishing of the mirror; and the cleaning of the beacon within the lighthouse. It is with this kind of approach that it is undertaken.

You begin first by considering your intention. And by that you place yourself within your ideal - that it shall lift and cleanse you. You place yourself in your hands of the Divine one who knows and sees, and knows the way to lift you and guide you to Itself. For here, you try not to "get in the way" but rather allow yourself, yearn for Yourself, to lift and clean and purify that which stands between yourself. And if in so doing impressions come to mind, then they do. And if by this they evaporate or transmute, or change to desireless desire - then they do. One stands not in the way, but in The WAY, the heart, the breath, and in repentance and release, be changed and cleansed.

Impressions are more than simply attitudes, or experiences, or thoughts or feelings. For they are made of "stuff" the mindstuff, which has form and substance and strength, albeit transitory. It is like a mesh, a matrix, with form of light and energy tied up in and through those very experiences. Thought and physical doing being not much different other than in the degree of densification. This then is massaged with breath and love; and the bonds are released; clearing the way for both release and transmutation of the lesser toward the Greater - the Ideal of Oneself and as Love. In so doing, thoughts or forms, or expressions may come to the surface. It is here that one may both examine and "let go" clearing and cleaning with this breath of love and loosening, softening of the heart; attuning toward That Which IS.

To start, simply follow and feel the Breath; letting it become more prevalent and greater and wider than the breath. Easily and comfortably, with caring, refine it and rest in it and the heart of hearts. Let the breath become balanced and harmonious. Concentrate your focus upon the heart within and feel and slowly become aware of the level of mind and being which responds to and in which all thought and feeling and action grow.

Feel your breath gradually massaging the heart center and knowing that it too is not only connected to all that is, but that it can grow closer and more purely - cleanly - toward that One Heart. That impressions, thoughts, desires, actions all have energy, both latent and potential, and active; and that the ONE DIVINE will lift and take from that which keeps you from ...

... and that by leaving it to that ONE you will be cleansed and lifted. Feel the Divine Breath soothe and massage this center of feeling. Feel the impressions that exist as blocks and are lodged there. These may be the surface impressions of the day, like mundane worries, or could be more profound. Notice and release as much as you can of each and every one of these. They are released by the gentle massaging action of the breath on the heart. And as they do, the space and energy they took is replaced by the Highest of That Divine Which IS and the Love of that SelfSame. And as surface impressions are released, deeper impressions make themselves known and they are turn are given up on the consecrated altar of the heart.

It is possible that you may see some person or some thing. That you may feel or know of an action or idea, or attitude that needs correction or strengthening. You may find yourself facing a fear, or anger, or unforgiven; a goal which stands in the way; an attitude or stance which impedes your progress. You may see and/or feel any of the hundreds, the thousands, the plethora or ideas and ideals which are lesser and are given up. You may see events, times, people, your actions or anything else - or nothing at all.

Whatever comes up, whatever you experience, that is not so important as an item, as a thing, as in knowing it is releasing of the lesser toward the greater - of which you are a part. Because of that, whatever rises - whether pain or pleasure, action or thought, rememberance or opening toward potential; try to welcome it with open arms and mind and heart; for it is what is needed. Its time has come to rise and go as less than "real" or to be strengthened as potential toward experience of the day. Feel it, immerse yourself in it, allowing the light of the divine consciousness to penetrate it and come forth to you own, bubbling up as part of what can now be conceived; with an ever growing capacity. Continue the massaging action of the breath - continuing its release and replacement with That Which IS and the Love of THIS. And if you are inclined, and feel so, immerse yourself within the sound and intention of any divine name that you are attracted to, such as Allah, Abba, Yahuvah, Ram, Abwoon, or any other. This is inhaled and exhaled, and given up to and accepted.

You may come upon impressions are resistant. They may have been part of you for so long they have become more solid within your heart. Be patient. Through repetition, effort and trust in the One Divine, even the most persistent impression can be released. Do not settle for less than its complete removal; transforming toward the higher. It is this that one comes back to until the bright light of Being shines through the softness of Heart, without veil, without filter, without dark spots or areas of mind. This process has been called "polishing the lamp of the heart".

It is important - essential - that you suspend judgement. There is no "right" or "wrong", There is no good nor bad. There is only That Which IS lightening the load of self; raising you toward Itself; and in so doing, removing, to the extent of your true intent and capacity, anything standing in the way. If faults, negativity, or experience of anyone else bubble to the surface of your awareness, look for and find the resonance of this fault within yourself. For what you see and experience as "negative" is a reflection of some quality within yourself. You then have the opportunity to both examine it and release it. It then can be replaced with the love of the Divine, of the Ideal. Then instead of trying to correct the person or situation on the outside, you gently and patiently massage and release this impression inside yourself.

There is no thing outside of yourself. All is within. It may not be realized or experienced yet as such, but that is Toward the One. It is thus that as one purifies oneself, one also raises the entire being toward the Love. Going through the world in this way, is one of the greatest values and services one can give, do, or be. In this way, the outer becomes part of yourself, and you cleanse, raise and purify that, as yourself, in all your daily actions, thoughts, and being. You become toward the natural condition of love; and in so doing assist all - not only in the world, but all the worlds, all manifestation. You are the assistant, the helper, part of the Great Work. Start with the breath of love, and let it lead you to the Breath of Love.
