Christian Meditation

God Is Everywhere

Within the context of Christian ideology, there is one universal theme throughout — Love:

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Men do not light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket. They set it on a stand where it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, your light must shine before men so that they may see goodness in your acts and give praise to your heavenly Father.” (Mt. 5, 14-16)

“Teacher, which commandment of the law is the greatest? Jesus said to him: ‘You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, with your whole soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. The second is like it; ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments the whole law is based, and the prophets as well.” (Mt. 22, 36-40)

“And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, ‘The kindgom of God cometh not with observation: neither shall they say, Lo, here! or There! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.’” (Lk. 17, 20-21)

“We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. Our love is brought to perfection in this, that we should have confidence on the day of judgment; for our relation to this world is just like his. Love has no room for fear; rather, perfect love casts out all fear. And since fear has to do with punishment, love is not yet perfect in one who is afraid. We, for our part, love because he first loved us. If anyone says, “My love is fixed on God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. One who has no love for the brother he has seen cannot love the God he has not seen. The commandment we have from him is this: whoever loves God must also love his brother.” (1 Jn. 5, 16-21)

God is everywhere and in everything, anyone who trespasses against a brother, trespasses against God, for God is in All. Vengeance, retribution, retaliation and revenge to any degree is of one who is afraid and as such, of one who breaks the most holy of commandments, for God is in the one that is retaliated against, for All is of God.

God’s Reign Is Everywhere

There is no boundary to God’s reign, God’s reign is everywhere and in everything, and it must be consciously realized within. In realizing God’s reign within you, you come to shine your light. There is no darkness contained in light. Anything not of love is not of light and is an attempt to extend darkness. Attempting to extend darkness removes your mind from the extension of Love. The extension of Love is of the highest commandment of God.

Fear not for fear is of darkness. Love only, love unconditionally as God loves and you will know God. Judge your neighbor to be anything other than God is judging your self to be the same, for you cannot see yourself different than how you see others. You who say you love God must love all, for God is all and all is God.

There is no other choice in being like Christ than to be like Christ. There is no competition in Christ for Christ is who you are, and who you are is the creation of God — Christ. Unity pervades all for all is Unity and Unity is the Christed Self of God’s Son — You.

To see others as Love is to see yourself as Love. To see others as something other than Love is to see yourself as something other than Love. No matter who you are looking at, and no matter what they have done in the past, All is Love and Love is All; thus, the commandment we have from this is to Love.

Technique:

As you look around you and see others about you, look into their eyes and extend only Love from your heart to theirs. Cast no judgment on them and do not hold back love for any reason. Permeate them with Love through your heart. It may help to visualize a ray of pink light shining forth from your heart into theirs. As you do this, hold only the thought “I Am Love… You Are Love… We Are Love” as you extend this light. Do not let any other thought enter your mind as you do this, and most importantly, fully engage your heart in this meditation.
