Picturing the Invisible
In my experience, the meditation that works is picturing the invisible. I think this is what most people are doing when they get healed or move into visions. It is not hard to do. Many things we know are real and truly present are invisible. We do not usually pay them any mind. Television and radio waves are ubiquitous, coursing through our bodies all the time. We cannot see the waves, but can you imagine each antenna's energy field as a mass that encompasses and passes right through you? Certainly.
The air in the atmosphere is another. We can blow it onto our arms and feel it . . . and not see a thing. Can you imagine that passing air as an object coming out of your lungs and flowing all around? I bet you can. And light. We don't see that. I mean, look at an object, and you do NOT see the light coursing between you and it even though it is the same light you see reflected off the object. Picture the light you do NOT see.
Besides the radio waves that pass through our bodies, there is another invisible light that is in us: the God in whom we move, breathe and have our being. That light is there because it is imagining that it is us. Just a little bit of the light has become our consciousness. If the light were an orange, our consciousness would be a segment that has forgotten that it even is an orange -- totally ignorant of the fact that we are the light. As that segment we are in a human we have annexed, and we think that we are him or her. We are, though, the light within. See your consciousness as a segment of light within you, and see the whole orange of light there, too.
The light within us that is God includes his power and his wisdom. These "two" are intelligence that is power, and it is doing an action. It is becoming Him. That is our destiny.
The light within is not just power and wisdom, it is the whole of God. All of his nature. The whole enchilada. This is the invisible field of which it is said, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and tomorrow," and "If you wish, you can heal me." Now, here is the very important part: do not look the wrong way. Do not think, "Gee, here I am God, and now I can get everything I want." Think, "What, O God, do you want, for which You have done this . . . to become me?" If he has become us for us to become him, our prayer should not be for what we want but for what he wants. And he wants him fully manifest in us.
Emmet Fox wrote a short essay about a prayer called The Golden Key (http://www.emmetfox.net/ABOUT%20EMMET%20FOX.htm). The key was given as a way to get out of any trouble (I don't know why, but that is what Fox said). The Golden Key prayer is to mentally rehearse "anything and everything that you know about God: God is Wisdom, Truth, inconceivable Love. God is present everywhere; has infinite power, knows everything," etc., etc. What you can imagine about God is the light that is within you: mercy, love, power, grace. Picturing the invisible, centered upon the nature or "Law" of God, is the prayer that works.
Do not worry about what you can get. Contemplate what you can BE, for the attributes of God's nature are your hidden and forgotten nature as the light. Be enveloped in it, surround yourself with it, make yourself one with it. Recall everything you know -- find out everything you can -- about God's love and mercy and strength, for these things are TRUE, REAL AND PRESENT. Imagine the love he has for you, that he has put up with your independent, rebellious shenanigans and your God-denying ignorance for all these thousands of years. And yet his light of intelligence that is power has remained in you, loving you, waiting for you to see his love, patience and glory. It is time to repent (put on the new mind) and picture the invisible that is within you and without you, because all is you in manifestation (Thank you, George Harrison).
