Turn your focus and attention to your breath.
Allow your consciousness to move with the rise and fall of
your chest and the filling and release of the lungs.
Continue in this manner for several breaths; allowing
each to become softer, smoother and slower. With each
breath your physical body appears to lighten and your
center of consciousness floats upwards towards the inner
eye. You feel enveloped by the mist of transition
between the Physical and Astral. And as this veil
thins and you see before you a cobalt blue double door. The
door is wood and ornately carved with the markings that
denote royalty is held behind these closed doors. You reach
out and push against the doors and find yourself at the
threshold of a throne room.
In the front of the room, just ahead is an
ornately carved throne of gold and dark wood. The room is
square in shape and the walls are painted a beautiful shade
of blue. You look upwards and the ceiling is made of crystal
clear glass and looks out to beautiful clear blue sky. The
floor is constructed of 4-sided tiles of azure with flecks
of gold glistening back. There is a feeling of security and
great power held within this place.
Directly in front of the throne, and
centrally placed is a four-sided altar placed juxtaposed to
each connecting corner of the walls of the room. It is
draped with four colored cloths of the finest materials.
Each layered one on the other and slightly smaller creating
a multi-layered palette of deep violet, cobalt blue, deep
purple and azure blue. You recognize these colors as being
the four worlds of the sphere of Chesed and you marvel at
their beauty when all are combined, yet singular in design.
Each quarter end of the altar contains 4
beautifully decorated and distinctly different wooden cubes.
As you look up from the altar you now see
that there is a figure seated on the throne. The figure
gestures to you to come towards them and as you approach you
see it is a male figure. He is dressed in royal blue and
purple robes and wears a glistening gold crown upon his
head. His smile is one of welcoming and you sense a
gentleness as well as great power about his persona. His
eyes glisten as they come to rest upon your face and he
directs to come sit on the carpeted stair beside him.
As he takes your hand in his you feel a flood of
overwhelming compassion pour out and his words indicate that
he understands the energy and effort you have put into
arriving finally at this place of grandeur.
" Your journey had been arduous and long and
you now must integrate and bring those things within to a
place of greater foundation. All you need lay within your
grasp and all parts of your Higher Self await renewal and
transformation…." he says and the words engulf you in a
gentle embrace of loving kindness. He continues... " I sit
upon this throne you see before you. Is it not grand? Is it
not beautiful and worthy of my kingship?". You nod in
agreement and he leans in closer to you and says.."this
throne is contained within you. You hold the power and
magnificence of its weight and meaning within the core of
your Divine Self. You have only to acknowledge and claim
it."
The words move through you and awaken the
memory of what seemed a distant dream. You know that these
are words of truth and great power and you question the
worthiness of your acquisition. The king rises and draws you
up to your feet. He says.. "Come walk with me through my
kingdom and see what is held within the expanse of my
energy."
You take a few steps and suddenly are
transported to the edge of a beautiful blue ocean. You feel
the spray of water on your face and hear the crashing of
waves. You look over the great expanse and see only the edge
of horizon meeting waterline and marvel at the beauty of
this place. " The oceans are my domain. The mysteries of
their depths and the life that they hold are all within my
scope. I could command that they rise in honor of my
status, but that would serve no purpose. I could draw all of
the life that is contained to heed my command, but that
would disrupt the natural order of things, and cause chaos
where there should be balance and mercy."
Again, these words stir something within me
that lay buried, but was once the code of my course. "Come
child" and with these words just barely finished you are
standing at the summit of what appears to be the tallest
mountain you could imagine. You seem to be able to
just reach up and touch the clouds and brilliant blue of the
sky in one extension of your arm. As you look down,
everything appears miniature is perspective. You have the
vantage of sight of an eagle soaring high above in this
lofty realm.
"All you see spread before you is my domain.
The winds and the sky bow to my command and the mystery of
the starry heavens fills my stores of knowledge. From this
place of great height I can see all that lays below and the
harmony and balance of order is displayed as a map below."
These words are captured on the breeze of your
imagination and float like wisps of cool air around
you.
You take a deep breath in filling your lungs
with the cool clean air and as you exhale you find yourself
once again in the throne room, standing in front of the
altar. The King points to the cubes that are placed within
each of the quarters and directs you to place them in
whatever fashion and pattern you wish in the center of the
altar table. You are told that this pattern reflects your
understanding of what you have been shown and the foundation
or base upon which you will begin to build your connection
and memory of these gifts of the Divine. You are reminded to
draw upon your understanding and experience of the previous
spheres you have studied from Malkuth to Chesed.
Take a moment to look at each of the cubes.
Inspect and feel it's weight, color and size. Plan carefully
and open yourself to your inner knowing to act as guide as
you place each block in whatever fashion you are inspired.
Go within and seek guidance about what areas
of your physical life are in need of more mercy and what
Spiritual goals need more compassion and patience to bring
to fruition; these are the bases from which you grow. You
move with deliberation and confidence. Each cube placed
seems to reveal yet another layer of memory and form as you
proceed. As you place the last cube in place you step back
smiling and content with the structure you have created.
The King, pauses for a moment, observes and
then asks you to describe to him what the meaning of the
creation you have constructed. How this fits into your
understanding of what has been shown to you and how you will
use this as base for future movement. He listens with rapt
attention and interest as you speak and a gentle smile of
pride in your efforts moves across his face.
"You have done well, and have learned much.
Do not forget what you have created here. Do not allow
yourself to slip back into the slumber of inertia and
overindulgence. Take what you have learned, build upon it
and use it to share and give back to others. Serve as both
the inspiration and the one who is continually inspired by
the generosity that abounds in a heart that is filled with
Divine Love. And, as you walk this path of service, do do in
joy and in reverence for those who join for that is the true
abundance that may be received from one who gives without
condition."
As the last of his words sounds forth, you
are bathed in a the radiance of Divine Love. You feel at one
with all of life and are ready to cross into a new way of
being.
As you stand centrally looking at your
construct and taking in the energy of the King's words, a
sound of toning fills the room. This sacred tone crescendos
and you feel the response of your chakras. This
enlivened energy moves through your entire being. The toning
continues for a few minutes more and as it begins to fade
and you open your eyes you see that you are once again alone
in the throne room. The King is no longer present and the
central altar which held your creation is no longer in
sight.
There is a faint glow around the edge of the
double doorway and you know that it is time to return to
your daily activities and normal state of being. You move
towards the doors, take one last look around and gently push
them open, stepping through to a dense blue mist. This is
the veil of transition and juncture between your visioning
and the manifest world. You feel yourself enveloped in the
veil of transition between the Physical and Astral world.
The veils of transformation and all they
contain gently fade from your sight and you begin the
descent back into your physical state of being and the room
and space in which you began this pathworking. Return
to awareness of the rhythm of your breath and the rise and
fall of your chest. Become aware of the physicality of
where you are sitting or laying… your body pressed against
cushion, chair or floor.
~ And when you are
ready, gently flutter your eyes open ~ |
