Meditation 15
(April 4, Sept. 8, Oct. 7, March 13)
I AM gold. I build the temple.
Steam of gold is my life.
Fume of gold is my light.
Life is gold. I AM healed.
Sun is gold. Sun is life.
Commentary:
A man with a body consciousness calls himself “I am." A man with a desire consciousness also says so. So is the case with the man of mental consciousness, buddhic consciousness and even soul consciousness. At any plane of existence and operation, man calls himself "I am." When man is operating in the physical plane, he says, "I am walking, I am talking, I am working, etc." When he is at the desire plane, he says that he desires this and he desires that. When he is at the mental plane he says, "I am thinking." Likewise, at the buddhic plane, he says, "I am experiencing light." Likewise, when he is at higher planes, he says, "I am experiencing bliss." He may also say finally, "I am That and That I am."
I AM is constant at all planes. It is qualitative at all planes except in the final plane. This I AM is unchangeable, immutable and is eternal. It is this I AM which is referred to as gold. It is this I AM that builds the golden temple of etheric existence. At the etheric level, life is like steam of gold and light is like fume of gold. Man in flesh and blood is his fall into the mundane, described by the Scriptures as the "touchdown of the serpent." When man's consciousness is related more to flesh and blood, which is called the body consciousness, sickness sets in. But as he raises himself from the physical, emotional and mental to that of buddhic consciousness, he gets healed. He gets healed from within. At the buddhic plane, he realises his body as a golden temple and he is the Sun with golden life and light flowing through all around. In such state he is fully healed. Sickness is no more. He therefore needs to rise into the etheric existence where he experiences the perfect existence hidden in the apparent imperfect existence. This etheric existence is called the existence in the kingdom of God upon Earth. In creation perfection is veiled by imperfection. Man has to recollect his original state of perfection and rise like the Sun who rises in the east and transmits golden light. He is light; he is life. Man also has to rise to his east, which is his Ajna centre, where he experiences himself as I AM. He then experiences the golden life, the golden light and the golden temple. Look to the rising Sun in the east daily and contemplate, I AM THAT and THAT I AM." Accomplish the truth of the meditation.
