Twelfth Meditation
- I Am God
I turn away from the world about
me to the world of consciousness
that lies within.
I shut out all memories of the past,
create no images of the future.
I concentrate on my being, on my
awareness. I slide deep into
the very recesses of my soul to
a place of utter repose.
Here I perceive fact in the making,
am conscious of the one being from
which all beings spring. I
know that this is immortal Self,
this is God, this is me.
I am, I always was. I always will
be.
All men, all things, all space and
time and life are here in the depths
of my soul. Smaller than small,
greater than great meet and unite
in me.
That which I thought I was, ego,
I never was at all, for it was a
changing thing, mirroring the seasons
and the tides, a thing to be born
and grow and die. I am not
a thing of time or circumstance.
I am spirit, pure and eternal, birthless,
deathless and changeless.
I am patient, for I am all time.
I am wise, for I contain the knowledge
of all things.
I know not pain, for I see
there is no beginning and no
end, and who suffers pain must see
begining and end.
I am rich, for there is no limit
to the abundance I may create from
my very Self.
I am successful, for I need only
think to achieve.
I love and am beloved, for all things
are myself and I am all things.
I unite, I fuse, I become one with
Universal Subconscious Mind. The
mask of vanity and ego I shall never
wear again. I perceive the magnificent
Dweller at the centre of my consciousness,
and I know Him to be my very self.
Time and space, shadow and substance,
what matter these ?
I am God.
