Aristole1 the
philosopher (304-322 BC) stated "Man shares with God
the divine power of thought an knows that the act of
contemplation
is what is most of all pleasant and best".
In observing individuals that excel in their endeavors
of life, there is the common act of contemplation.
In seeking the Kingdom Within, there
is no need for ritualistic prayers. It can be stated best, that prayer is speaking
to God (as if speaking to your father) and contemplation is listening for the
answer. There is no need for certain positions, be comfortable in walking, sitting,
or reclining, whether in nature or indoors.
It is beneficial to meditate or go inward with
a
group, especially in the beginning stages, being cautiously aware of what the
collective group mind is focused upon.
Ultimately, you as a perfectly created spiritual
image of God, must travel this journey alone developing the realization
of universalism and your oneness with the creative spirit of love, that is the
all and is in
all.
The purpose of this inward search is to realize
and claim your oneness with the
I AM spirit of one (your creator)
and become an enlightened individual that will excel in your divine given talents
for service
to fellow man and the divine spirit of one, the
I AM.
