MEDITATION GIVEN BY ARRIAN
17/9/87
Imagine in front of you, a flower. I want you to picture
it in every tiny detail. Start with the stem and stalk.
Look at it. Look at its shape and colour. Look at the
length of it. Look at the leaves that are there. - What
shape are they? - How thick are they? - What do they feel
like? Are they smooth or prickly or hairy?. Are they
round or long? Are they indented or are they soft?
Now look at the flower itself. Look at its general
shape, look at its colour, look at each petal, how many
petals (are there?), can you see the veins? Are there
spots? See the very centre of the flower. Are there
stamens there? Is there pollen? Is there nectar? Go
right into the centre of the flower and look at the
nectar. Feel the flower all around you, feel the pollen,
smell the scent and taste the nectar. Taste the nectar
on your tongue and follow it as it goes within you. Go
within you deep. Go within you deep. Go within with the
nectar and go within.
We have just gone through the pinhole into another
space,
into the broader consciousness. Behold, the other side
of the pinhole is space. Immense space.
You are out in space, moving through space, moving closer
and closer to the centre of all there is. But that
centre is yourself. As you go through the pinhole within
yourself so you expand into all that is. Look down and
see the galaxies shining within your body. Look up and
see the galaxies in your body. Look to either side and
see the space and galaxies that are within your body.
You are the deep joy that comes from feeling this space
and your expansion and the freedom from the body.
Remember, this is the way to go, go within. Do not be
attached to the body, just go within and expand outward
to Spirit, that is all you need. Go direct to Spirit.
You need no other instruction. No other pathway, no other
method. Go direct to spirit.
Keep everything simple. Don't be side-tracked. Man
always makes things complicated. Don't fall into that
trap. Just go straight there.
You see spirit is in all of you. YOU ARE SPIRIT. As
long as you think that there is separateness, all will be tension.
Think of unity. Think of oneness. Can you feel what we
are trying to say to you? There is only ONE and you are
ALREADY a part of it. You are not separate from spirit.
You are already THERE. Just listen to my words, do not
try to reason about it, just let my words go through to
your deeper layers. As soon as you start to reason you
will put yourself there again, your material self, it
doesn't really exist. You use it just to be able to work
in the material world - keep it out of the way while I
speak. You get so wrapped up in this material world. We
are trying to take you beyond it - NOW. So let my words
flow - just absorb them. Don't reason, don't think about
them.
You were never separate from Spirit. You are to
Spirit
like the flames on your sun which flare up and arch over,
but never really separate (from it), and this is how you
are. You ARE Spirit. There is no progress to be made.
There are no exercises to be mastered - all these things
just emphasise the material body more, we want you to
discard them, let them go. Let them go.
They are the dust in the wind.
You are the wind.
You are everywhere.
You are peace.
Can you feel a material personality as insubstantial? It
is like a garment, or a cloth over you, a very fine
diaphanous cloth, blow it, and it goes away. You are the
cloth. You are the breath that blows it away.
You are the spirit within you.
Your material body has a form, see that form now. It is
just a light, see the atoms of that shell in that light.
See the space in those atoms. The body and the
personality don't exist. YOU ARE free. You are Spirit.
You are already that void. Feel that void. If you feel
it, you are everything. Feel that extension. There is no
limit to you. Feel the joy. Feel everyone within you.
(Pause for several minutes).
Now see that pinhole in front, and again you will go
through it. You will bring the focus of your attention
to this material world again. Feel your body, you know
now that it doesn't really exist. You know now, that it
doesn't really exist, that you are more than this body,
more than this personality, but you are going to focus
back in on that personality again. You have tasks to do
in this personality, and you will come back to them now.
You will be back with the world now. You will feel your
body, you will feel your bones, you will feel your head.
You will feel the pressure of the seat you are sitting
on. And you will stretch and be fully focussed again in
this REALITY which you have all agreed upon for the time
being. The time will come when you can permanently leave
it but that time is not yet.
Would you care to tell me what you felt?
In reply to a comment from a sitter about a 'star' which
she had seen during the meditation:
You can use that as your meditation focus. When you
meditate put it in front of you and it will help you to
concentrate your thoughts. You can also use it as your
'pin-hole to go through. Use it in that way when you
meditate. You can use that technique of going through
the 'pin-hole' as your meditation. But please do not do
it when you are in bed at night. You can do it in the
morning when you wake up, but not when you go to bed at
night. You may do it before you go to bed, you may sit
in a chair, and do it then, before you prepare for bed.
You should not spend the entire night in that
state at your stage. set limits so that you bring
yourself fully back to your body before you sleep. If
you do it in the morning there is that limit, because you
have to get up. You must always have these things under
your control, and if you go to sleep in this state it is
not under your control.
Question: Are we too open then?
Answer: Yes. If you practice this for limited periods
during your life you will be more easily able to shed it
when your time comes. But while you have a physical body
it must be under the control of the physical personality.
You have taken on that physical reality for a reason and
you must work out that reason. You must have everything
in balance as we keep telling you. Everything that you
do in this circle is a preparation for what comes next.
It is not only the opportunity of being given these
things. There is also the responsibility to pass them
on. Now this does not mean that you are to immediately
go round telling everybody - that would be the worst
thing you can do. But, at some point in your life, you
will be in a situation where it is appropriate for you to
pass these things on to other people. This is the way it
will spread through the world, and conditions in the
world can be lightened in this way.
Always be prepared to pass on what you receive, but
you have to be tuned to the right stage. The opportunity
will come, always be patient. Because if you receive and
do not intend to pass on you are stopping the 'flow' of
Godness and you, yourself, will stop with that.
There are changes coming to this material world - we
are not predicting a 'holocaust' by any means. Holocausts
have been predicted for the past four thousand years and
we have already pointed that out to you, but it hasn't
come about yet, at least we don't think it has come
about.
There have always been catastrophes in your world,
no matter how far back you go. They are no fewer now
than they have ever been. We are talking rather of a
lifting of the souls, of a changing of the souls coming
in. There is a new type of soul coming in, it is coming
very gradually in your terms, and it has to do with the
mixing up of the races, and so this message can be
brought through more openly, because the souls going on
can take it with them. But it will still be there for
the others. Nothing can ever stop it. It is always
changing, it is always at flow.
The new type of soul coming in is a different type.
If you look back at the history of your world you can see
where there have been qualitative changes in the type of
people born. There have always been a change, an opening
up.
Dorothy: Do you mean around times like when Jesus was on
the earth?
Arrian: That was one point.
Dorothy: Is that why, before and after that event, there
was such a lot of turmoil?
Arrian: There has ALWAYS been turmoil in your world.
There always will be. But if you search and look, you
will see that at certain points there have been
qualitative changes and you are on one of those points
now. There are not going to be any great dreadful
disasters and things. It is gradual, if you like,
evolution. There are many physical worlds which are
inhabited. Remember that you do not have to come back in
a physical body. It is all just experiences for the
Godness.
Let us for a few moments pass the energy around the
circle and then I will be gone. Just pass from one to
the other. This will strengthen your aura.
