More whole means more happy. Our goal, then, is to unify our whole selves. We do this by folding in the split-off aspects of the Lower Self that remain in separation… Consider the truth that whatever is inside, no matter how painful it might be, cannot be avoided. Rather, it must be expressed and released… And that is what meaningful meditation is all about…

Whenever a creative act takes place and something new manifests, it has come about through the fusion of two principles: the active and the receptive… Which means that both of these principles must be part of our meditation, if we want to use it create good things… To use meditation in a creative way, it needs to include these four stages or phases: 1) Concept, 2) Impression, 3) Visualization, and 4) Faith…

We’ll start to see that these answers, and the enlightenment that comes with them, are pieces of a puzzle. Little by little, they fit together to form a comprehensive picture. Eventually, we’ll learn to rely on this process over anything else… Real faith is a knowing, an inner experience that’s beyond the shadow of doubt. Reaching it requires we have the courage to take chances, to risk finding out the truth…

One of the most important laws, which can also be found in Scripture, states: According to your belief you shall experience… So if we believe that we cannot change, that we live in a hostile universe, and that our ultimate fate is tragedy, guess what. We will—we must—experience just that… But if we believe in the truth that abundance and joy can be ours—that we can change and grow out of our poverty, our misery and our despair—we can’t help but do so…

There is no question, problem, conflict or darkness that we can’t bring into our meditation. We lose sight of how effective it can be for the biggest as well as the smallest issues of life. In reality, there’s no such thing as big or small. Everything is important. Our whole life matters… Moreover, it won’t work to split off and ignore the undesirable parts of ourselves, hoping we can enjoy the Oneness when we are less than whole inside.
