Topic: Linkage – The peak of the journey
1. Once we are able to engage fully with the Material Level Present, using all the techniques learned in Classes 1 to 4, we can proceed to practice engaging with the Spiritual Level Present.
2. Time basically stops when we engage with the Spiritual Present. It is like a movie reel which stops, freezing one in a given plane where no further change or motion occurs. Time stops. Timelessness was practiced during the class meditation.
3. In Meditation, we are seeking to fully engage with our Power of Thought.
4. Thought has life that can shape events, experiences, memories and more. In Meditation, shaping one’s thoughts properly is a key requirement for creating deep focus.
5. The level of LINKAGE was the main focus of the class. Linkage represents our connection with our Creator or Source, similar to the umbilical cord between mother and child. Of course, the spiritual cord is dimensionless and infinite.
6. The LINKAGE WORD is the word by which we recognize our Creator. It is the name of what we truly believe is our Source. This name can be derived from religious and non-religious avenues.
7. The SOURCE THOUGHT is the meaning of the Linkage Word. It has to be carefully framed through SOURCE CONTEMPLATION, which is basically a period before meditation, where one spends time contemplating the name and attributes of one’s Source.
8. The Source Contemplation is of equal importance to the meditation itself. Engaging with Linkage without preparation and contemplation makes deep focus very difficult to achieve.
9. Examples of Source Contemplations were shared to help with framing the Source Thought, so that proper focus on the Linkage Word can be achieved amidst the background of the Source Thought.
