CONNECTING WITH OTHERS THROUGH LOVE

A guided meditation from the Carriers of Light

Stand back from who you are now. Try to put aside your usual doubts and fears.See if you can experience another kind of Beingness, another way of seeingyourself. See if you can surround yourself with light. Imagine that there is a bold,bright light around you right now, as you are now. In the center of this light is apoint. This point is the key that will open the door of love inside you.Imagine that you are placing the palm of your hand against that center pointof light. See if you can sense the heat within that point; feel it burning your handa little bit. Now visualize cupping your hands around this point of light, as if youwere praying, and see that it glows even brighter between your hands. In thecenter of that praying is a point of light, and it is burning outward through yourfingers and it is growing and it continues to grow. And at the center point of thatlight, a human form is taking shape. Whose form do you think it might be? Theform that is growing here is your form as you might exist on another plane ofreality. See what happens as your form emerges from the light, growing largerand larger until it is the size you are now. And you are this being, this glowingform in front of yourself. Trace that form inside your body, remembering that thecenter of this form is the point of light that was growing between your hands. Andthat point of light is now at your center, beaming from within your heart, while theouter light, the human form, is around you and within you.

Now that you are comfortable with this light inside you, another adventureawaits you. Imagine that you are inside that form that is your self. You are able totraverse great distances between the stars. You are no longer a lonely creatureon the earth, because all the lights of the universe are lights like yourself. See ifyou can traverse a great distance now in your imagination. Visualize a great lightthat exists across the universe from you. Within that light are beings like yourself,inhabiting a planet like yours; and these beings have lights inside them just asyou do. Visualize that you are coming closer to one of these beings whose light islike your own. In your imagination, experience a sense of presence, of someonethere. Your light can join with one of these people by becoming more radiant.You become more radiant by wishing to join with someone else. You don’t askthat person, you wish yourself upon them. You say, “I wish to join with you forawhile,” and then you will experience a sense of connection to someone else at agreat distance from yourself. Hold that feeling for a moment: let it settle there, bewithin it, and see what energies flow within it and what feelings come up withinyou. Look for the feelings.

Now separate yourself from that distant person and bring yourself back tothe earth plane. In your imagination, visualize someone you know. See themstanding before you; see if you can imagine that they have a light just like yours.See that the light appears before them between the palms of their own hands. Inyour imagination, help them place that light in the center of their heart so thatthey become a glowing being like yourself. Imagine your center connecting totheir center, the point within your heart connecting to the point within their heart.See what feelings come up when you stay in this moment, when you rest withinit, when you don’t try to force the issues or ask the questions but simply acceptwhat you feel when you join with another person in this way.

You can continue this process by visualizing someone else – someone youknow, someone you would like to know, or some kind of person you would like tomeet, someone whose attributes you admire. Start by visualizing the lightbetween the palms of your hands. See it growing and getting brighter. Now placethat light inside the center of that person, in their heart, in the center of theirheart, and watch the glow becoming brighter until it surrounds their body. Seeyourself joining from the center of your body to the center of their body, and seewhat impressions you receive while you are in that state.

If you have an issue with someone that you want to resolve, this is how youcan go about it. Bring yourself to the point where you visualize that person, andsend a light from your center into that person’s center. Try to imagine the otherperson’s thoughts and feelings. See if you can get a sense of how that personsees themselves and how they feel about you. See if you can get a sense of thejustification they have found for the issue between you. Know that people usuallyhave positive motives for what they do, but things often get distorted and by thetime they reach you they aren’t what they seem. We forgive each other when weunderstand each other’s motivation. By opening yourself to the other person’sthoughts and feelings, you will understand their motivation. This is what we meanby compassion: understanding a person completely, loving them wholly.

Now let us consider another aspect of love. At the center of the universe is agreat force of light, like the one within yourself. But this universal force is agreater light; this light is the mother and father of all that exists. You have amother and father in this light even if you don’t have a mother and father in yourearthly life. You always have this love, this mother and father. Imagine that yourlight is there, at the center of your heart, and that there is a great light in thedistance. Just as you imagined traveling to a distant star and finding anotherbeing there, you are going to connect with something distant that is very great,very large, but the same as you. This light has the same shape and form as yourlight, because it’s made of the same substance. Your light is seeded by this light.Across that great distance is a light just like yours, and you can traverse thatdistance by visualizing a bridge between your light and the great light over there,the mother/father.

And you see that you are becoming one with that light now. Sense an energyflow between you – how you give and receive energy, how you receive thoughtsand impressions. Notice that there is a harmony between you because youvibrate with the same energy. Notice that your substance is the same substanceas that distant light. And know that the force that created you is the same as youare. You are born of this light. You are a unique point within the creation, andyour light is identical to the greater light. The waves that you feel traveling in thislight are the waves of love that make you one. Visualize yourself at the center ofthat great light. You are within it now, and all around you is an intense glow. Yourheart is at the center of that heart, at the center of that great light. Your smallheart is at the center of a large heart, and you are contained within that heart.Sense how immense and yet how warm it is to be here within the womb ofcreation. You can be here as much as you want, as much as you need; itnourishes you to be here.

Now sense that you are going back to yourself as you were, but as you goyou take with you the radiance you have found; and this radiance stays with youfor a long time, and you can refresh and renew yourself by coming back here asoften as you wish. And remember that this radiance forms a bond between youand other people, and that this radiance joins you to the earth itself and by joiningto the earth itself you are a part of the greater whole.

Remember always to begin with your palms facing each other andvisualizing a great light forming between your palms, and growing and growing.You place it within yourself and it expands even more, and you feel it glowingwithin your heart, then surrounding you like an aura. You can traverse anydistance though the center of this light by visualizing any other center and seeingit joining to your center with a bridge, a bridge of light, a cone of light. You can goto your friends or relatives, or to other beings on your planet, or to other planets;or you can go the center of the universe and find God, the God you’ve beenlooking for, the mother/father of all creation. Here you can refresh and renewyourself as often as you wish. Bring this light back into the world, and rememberthat this light is at the center of your heart and there are waves of loving energyflowing within this light, within the center, within this point of light.Now return to your life, remembering that this great light is always with youas long as you carry it in your heart. We say goodbye, with love. This is Hethballspeaking.
