Spiritual Exercise of the Week—The Mountain of God

Post date: May 07, 2015 8:0:18 PM

Find a quiet place where no one will disturb you for

ten or fifteen minutes. Then shut your eyes and look

at a place just above and between the eyebrows.

That is the location of the Spiritual Eye.

Now imagine you are climbing to the top of a broad

green mountain. Follow the brown dirt path to a meadow

of colorful flowers. Powder white clouds near the summit

of the mountain give a feeling of great joy, wonder, and

freedom. This is the Mountain of God.

When you reach the top, lie down upon the thick, soft

carpet of grass. Feel the sunshine warm your face, arms,

and body. Shut your eyes there, too, as you did when

you began this exercise in your room. For the moment,

expect complete darkness of the inner vision.

Now look gently for the Light of God to appear in your

Spiritual Eye. It may appear in a number of ways. It may

come as a soft field of light, similar to the fluffy white clouds

near the mountain top. Again, It may be a pinpoint of light:

blue, white, yellow, purple, or even green or pink.

While looking for the Light, softly sing HU over and over

again. It is Soul's love song to God. Without staring,

continue to watch for the Light within your Spiritual Eye.

Listen also for the Sound.

The Sound of God is the vibration of the Divine Spirit

moving the atoms of life. You may hear the sound

of the flute, a rushing wind, the chirping of birds, a

waterfall, bells, or a buzzing of bees. These are actual,

not imaginary, sounds.

Return to the Mountain of God for a few minutes every

day. That journey in contemplation is one of the

surest ways to find divine love.
