Abraham Meditation in the Bible

Adam, man, is a bit of God's consciousness. Eve is its creative, life-giving power. Abram is God's consciousness in man. Abram, God's consciousness, is told (Genesis 12) to get out of Dodge -- away from its land, from where it was born, away from its Father's house. This is meditation, no?

"And I shall make you a great nation, and I shall bless you and I shall make great your name and a blessing. And I shall bless those who bless you, and accurse those who curse you, and I shall bless all the generations of the earth through you and your offspring" (Genesis 12:2-3 Alexander).

If this is Godly meditation, thoughts (v. 8, Abram "called on the name of the Lord"), it sounds pretty good.

Abram had some learning to do to get into the right meditation. He had interference from the flesh, "Egypt." Finally, though, he got it right. God manifested in his meditation, and Abram became AbraHam, "the Merciful Father." WITH THIS, Sarai, Abram's barren life experience, became SaraH, young again to bear AbraHam fruit, LAUGHTER, "Isaac." Isaac gave 100-fold increase.

This pattern is repeated in Mark 5:21-43, in the story of Jairus' daughter and the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment. In meditation, we are Jairus. We get it right, and Jesus manifests. Our impotent, unfruitful lives bleeding in the Temple (read mind) get addressed and blessed as a young woman ready to bear her hundredfold.
