Whatever society we live
in, no matter the trouble currently besetting the community, let
us not have enemies, let us not be unnerved by anything. Let us
sow peace and thereby set an example. ~
DASKALOS
Visualization, as Daskalos has
said: "... is the language between the mundane and the
Divine. There is nothing more powerful than thought, and
visualization is the process of harnessing thought in a
constructive manner for the expansion of consciousness and
aiding others in need."
The following exercise was
given by Daskalos to help create peace in any location where we
find unrest and violence. This exercise will help whether it
is a neighbors home, a city or a whole country. The exercise
given can be used for any area. However, we will focus on areas
involved in the incidents of September 11. Included below are
images of the countries that need our prayers right now. It is
important to have a clear image in mind of the areas we wish to
help in this visualization.
After reading and becoming
familiar with the exercise we invite you to join us as we
collectively visualize and pray for those who suffer, and pray
for peace and reason to prevail over the troubled areas in the
world. If you find it difficult to remember the entire exercise
perhaps you can have someone read it aloud or record it on tape
and play it back. If possible try to practice this exercise at
9 PM in your local time zone.
THE EXERCISE:
Begin by inhaling comfortable deep
breaths. Slowly inhale white light, exhaling any darkness.
Your material body is now glowing in bright white light while
your
etheric double is turning sky-blue.
Your consciousness is becoming
lighter and no longer hindered by heavy thoughts and emotions.
Begin to expand your consciousness in every direction from where
you are sitting. It passes out of the building, above the
trees, like a growing bubble, until you can see the town in
which you live. A lovely rose light pours out from your
psycho-noetical heart blanketing first your neighbor's home then
the whole neighborhood and finally the entire town. You feel
joy.
You Continue to expand to the
point where you can see the entire nation. Perhaps there is
trouble in some part of it. Your heart continues to pour out
love for all. The whole country is now coved in this misty rose
colored light.
Next spread your awareness to
encompass first the cloud cover and then the atmosphere. You
can see the whole planet. It is a gorgeous paradise of deep
blue oceans, vast mountain ranges and lush plains. But you know
there is fighting in various parts of the world, great
unhappiness, and you want to help. From where you are, there
are no boarders marked, no lines separating people. It is one
world. All trouble is born of ignorance and misunderstanding.
We want to love one another and live in peace.
Now your heart is a river of rose
light which floods the areas of trouble on the globe with peace
and love. You see millions of smiling faces bathed in the rose
light. You see men laying down their arms and embracing one
another in common brotherhood. You see people giving food and
clothes to the others in need.
Now you see the planet move
towards you and nestle in your heart. Moments ago you were on
the planet and now it is in you. Keep the planet in your heart.
Now return back to your
present-day personality and your material body. Breath deeply
until you feel you have fully returned. Wish peace and harmony
to prevail the world over.
