Select a room where you can be alone and undisturbed ; sit erect, comfortably, but do not lounge ; let your thoughts roam where they will but be perfectly still for from fifteen minutes to half an hour. Continue this for three or four days or for a week until you secure control of your physical being. Many will find this extremely difficult ; others will conquer with ease, but it is absolutely essential to secure complete control of the body before you are ready to progress. If you have accomplished this, you are ready to advance.
GodScope Meditation # 2.
This time you will begin to control your thoughts. Always take the same room, the same chair, and the same position, if possible. In some cases it is not convinient to take the same room ; in this case, simply make the best use of such conditions as may be available. Now be perfectly still as before, but inhibit all thought ; this will give you control over all thoughts of care, worry and fear, and will enable you to entertain only the kind of thoughts you desire. Continue this meditation exercise until
you gain complete mastery. You may/will not be able to do this for more than an few moments at a time, but the exercise is valuable because it will be a very practicle demonstration of the great number of thoughts which are constantly trying to gain access to your mental world.
GodScope Meditation # 3.
You will now go one step further. You need to not only be perfectly still, and inhibit all thoughts as far as possible, but relax, let go, let the physical muscles take their normal condition ; this will remove all pressure from the nerves and eliminate that tension which so frequently produces physical exhaustion. Physical relaxation is a voluntary exercise of the will and the exercise will be found to be of great value, as it enables the blood to circulate freely to and from the brain and body. Tension leads to mental unrest and abnormal mental activity of the mind. Relaxation is therefore an absolute necessity in order to allow the mental faculties to exercise the greatest freedom. Make this meditation exercise as thorough and complete as possible, mentally determine that you will relax every muscle and nerve, until you feel quiet and restful and at peace with yourself. The solar plexus will then be ready to function and you will be surprised at the result.
GodScope Meditations # 4.
In the last exercises you were to relax, to let go physically. Now you are going to let go mentally. If you practiced the previous meditation exercise fifteen or twenty minutes a day for 21 consecutive days in accordance with the GodScope instructions, you can no doubt relax physically ; and if you cannot consciously do this quickly and completely then unfortunately, you are not a master of yourself . You have not obtained freedom ; you are still a slave to conditions. Now, after taking your usual position, remove all tension by completely relaxing, then mentally let go of all adverse conditions, such as hatred, anger, worry, jealousy, envy, sorrow, trouble or disappointment of any unsuper kind. You may say that you cannot "let go" of these things, but you can. You can do so by mentally determining to do so ; by voluntary intention and persistence. The reason why some cannot do this is that they allow themselves to be controlled by the emotions instead of their intellect. But, the will guided by the intellect will gain the victory. You will not succeed the first time you try, but practice makes perfect in this, as in every case, and you must succeed in dismissing, eliminating and completely destroying these negative and destructive thoughts, because they are the mind weed seeds which will constantly germinate into discordant conditions of every conceivable kind and description.
GodScope Meditations # 5.
Go to your room, take the same seat, the same position as heretofore, and mentally select a place which has pleasant associations. Make a complete mental picture of it, see the buildings, the grounds, the trees, friends, associations, everything complete. At first you will find yourself thinking of everything under the sun, except the ideal upon which you desire to concentrate. But do not let that discourage you . Persistence will win, but persistence requires that you practice these exercises every day without fail.
GodScope Meditations # 6.
In order to cultivate the power of attention, bring a photograph with you to the same seat in the same room in the same position as heretofore. Examine it closely at least ten minutes. Note the expression of the eyes, the form of the features, the clothing, the way the hair is arranged. In fact, note every detail shown on the photograph carefully. Now cover it and close your eyes and try to see it mentally. If you see every detail perfectly and can form a good mental image of the photograph, you are to be congratulated. if not, repeat the process until you can. This step is simple for the purpose of preparing the soil. In the next exercise you will be ready to sow the seed.
GodScope Meditations # 7.
For your next exercise, visualize a friend. See him exactly as you last saw them ; see the room, the funiture, recall the conversation. Now see their face, see it distinctly. Now talk to them about some subject of mutual interest, see their expression change, watch them smile. Can you do this ? All right, you can ; then arouse their interest ; tell them a scary story of adventure ; see their eyes light up with the spirit of fun or excitement. Can you do all this ? If so, your imagination is good, you are making excellent progress.
GodScope Meditations # 8.
In your last exercise, you brought it from the invisible into the visible. Now, you want to take an object and follow it back to the origination, see of what it really concises. If you do this, you will develop imagination, insight, perception, and sagacity. It is the few who know that the things which they see are only effects, and understand the causes by which these effects were brought into existence. Take the same position as heretofore and visualize a battleship. See the grim monster floating on the surface of the water ; there appears to be no life anywhere about. All is silence. You know that by far the largest part of the ship is as large and as heavy as a twenty-story skyscraper. You know that there are hundreds of men ready to spring to their appointed task instantly. You know that every department is in charge of able, trained, skilled officers who have proved themselves competent to take charge of this marvellous piece of mechanism. You know that although it lies apparently oblivious to everything else, it has eyes which see everything for miles around, and nothing is permitted to escape its watchful vision. You know that while it appears quiet, submissive and innocent, it is prepared to hurl a steel projectial weighing thousands of pounds at the enemy miles away. This and much more you can bring to mind with comparatively no effort whatever. But, how did the battleship come to be where it is ? How did it come into existence in the first place ? All of this you want to know if you are a careful observer. Follow the great steel plates through the founderies, see the thousands of men employed in their position. Go still further back and see the ore as it comes from the mine, see it loaded on barges or trucks, see it melted and properly treated. Go back still further and see the architect and engineers who planned the vessel. Let the thought carry you back still further in order to determine why they planned the vessel. You will see that you are now so far back that the vessel is something intangible. It no longer exists, it is now only a thought existing in the brain of the architect. But from where did the order come to plan the vessel ? Probably this vessel was planned long before war was thought of. Decisions were made, a bill was passed to appropriate the money. Those who made the decision represent you and me so that our line of thought begins with the battleship and ends with ourselves, and we find in the last analysis that our own thought is responsible for this and many other things of which we seldom think, and a little further reflection will develop the most important fact of all, and that is, if someone had not discovered the law by which this tremendous mass of steel and iron could be made to float upon the water, instead of immediately going to the bottom, the battleship could not have come into existence at all. You will find exercises of this kind invaluable. When the thought has been trained to look below the surface, everything takes on a different appearance ; the insignificant becomes significant, the uninteresting interesting ; the things which we supposed to be of no importance are seen to be the only really vital things in existence.
GodScope Meditations # 9.
Your next exercise is to visualize a plant, take a flower, the one you most admire. Bring it from the unseen into the seen. Plant the tiny seed, water it, care for it, place it where it will get the direct rays of the morning sun. See the seed burst. It is now a living thing, something which is alive and beginning to search for the means of substance. See the roots penetrating the earth, watch them shoot out in all directions and remember that they are living cells dividing and subdividing, and that they will soon number millions, that each cell is intelligent, that it knows what it wants and knows how to get it. See the stem shoot forward and upward, watch it burst through the surface of the earth ; see it divide and form branches, see how perfect and symmetrical each branch is formed. See the leaves begin to form, and then the tiny stems, each one holding aloft a bud, and as you watch you see the bud, begin to unfold and your favorite flower comes into veiw ; and now if you will concentrate intently, you will become conscious of a fragrance. It is the fragrance of the flower as the breeze gently sways the beautiful creation which you have visualized. When you are enabled to make your vision clear and complete, you will be enabled to enter into the spirit of a thing, it will become very real to you. You will be learning to concentrate and the process is the same, whether you are concentrating on health, a favorite flower, an ideal, a complicated business proposition or any other problem of life. Every success has been accomplished by persistent concentration upon the object in veiw.
GodScope Meditations # 10.
For your next exercise, select a blank space on the wall, or any other convenient spot, from where you usually sit. Mentally draw a blank a black horizontal line about six inches long, try to see the line as plainly as though it were painted on the wall ; now mentally draw two vertical lines connecting with this horizontal line at either end. Now draw another horizontal line connecting with the two vertical lines. Now you have a square. Try to see the square perfectly. Where you can do so, draw a circle within the square. Now place a point in the center of the circle ; now draw the point towards you about ten inches. Now you have a cone on a square base. You will remember that your work was all in black. Change it to white, to red, to yellow. If you can do this, you are making excellent progress and will soon be enabled to concentrate on any problem you may have in mind.
GodScope Meditations # 11.
For your next exercise, concentrate on the quotation taken from the BIBLE : "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them". Notice that there is no limitation, "What things soever" is very definite and implies that the only limitation which is placed upon you and your ablity to think, to be equal to the occasion, to rise to the emergency, to remember that faith is not a shadow, but a substance, "The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".
GodScope Meditations # 12.
Now go to the same room, take the same chair, the same position as heretofore ; be sure to relax, let go mentally and physically ; always do this. Never try to do any mental work under pressure ; see that there are no tense muscles or nerves, that you are entirely comfortable. Now realize your unity with omnipotence ; get in touch with this power, come into deep and vital understanding, appreciation and realization of the fact that our ability to think is your ability to act upon the Universal Mind, and bring it into manifestation, realize that it will meet any and every requirement ; that you have exactly the same potential ability which any individual ever will have, because each is but an expression or manifestation of the one ; all are parts of the whole, there is no difference in kind or quality, the only difference being one of degree.
GodScope Meditations # 13.
Therefore, for your next exercise, recognize the fact, that you are a part of the whole, and that a part must be the same in kind and quality as the whole ; that the only difference there can possibly be, is in degree. When this tremendous fact begins to permeate your consciousness ; when you really come into a realization of the fact that you , not your body but the ego, the "I", the spirit which thinks, is an integral part of the great whole, that it is the same in substance, in quality, in kind, that the creator could create nothing different from himself , you will also be able to say, "the Father and I are One", and you will come into an understanding of the beauty, the grandeur, the transendental opportunities which have been placed at your disposal.
GodScope Meditations # 14.
For your next exercise, concentrate on harmony, concentrate so deeply, so earnestly, that you will be conscious of nothing but harmony. Reading will get you nowhere. It is the practical application that the value consists.
GodScope Meditations # 15.
For your next exercise, concentrate on insight ; take your accustomed position and focus your thought on the fact that a knowledge of the creative power of thought does not mean to possess the art of thinking. Let the thought dwell on the fact that knowledge does not apply itself ; that our actions are not governed by knowledge, but by custom, precedent and habit ; that the only way we can get ourselves to apply knowledge is by a determined conscious effort. Call to mind the fact that knowledge unused passes from the mind, that the value of the information is in the application of the principle ; continue this line of thought until you gain sufficient insight to formulate a definite program for applying this principle to your own particular problem.
GodScope Meditations # 16.
For your next exercise, try to bring yourself to a realization of the important fact that harmony and happiness are states of consciousness and do not depend upon the possession of consciousness things. That things are effects and come as a consequence of correct mental states. So that if you desire material possession of any kind your chief concern should be to acquire the mental attitude which will bring about the results desired. This mental attitude is brought about by a realization of your spiritual nature and your unity with the universal mind which is the substance of all things. This realization will bring about everything which is necessary for your complete enjoyment. This is scientific or correct thinking. When you succeed in bringing about this mental attitude it is comparatively easy to realize your desire as an already accomplished fact ; when you can do this you shall have found the "truth" which makes you "free" from every lack or limitation of any kind.
GodScope Meditations # 17.
For your next exercise, concentrate as nearly as possible in accordance with the method outlined in this program. Let there be no conscious effort or activity associated with your purpose. Relax completely, avoid any thoughts of anxiety as to results. Remember that power comes through repose. Let the thought dwell upon your object until it is completely identified with it, until you are conscious of nothing else. If you wish to eliminate fear concentrate on courage. If you wish to eliminate lack concentrate on abundance. If you wish to eliminate disease concentrate on health. Always concentrate on the ideal as an already existing fact ; this is the elohim, the life principle which goes forth, and enters in, and becomes, sets in motion those causes which guide, direct and bring about the necessary relation, which eventually manifest in form.
GodScope Meditations # 18.
Now concentrate upon your power to create ; seek insight, perception, find the logical base for the faith which is in you . Let the thought dwell on the fact that the physical human lives and moves and has their well-being in the sustainer of all organic life, in air, which humans must breathe to live. Then let the thought rest on the fact that the spiritual human also lives and moves and has their being in a simular but subter power upon which mankind must depend for life, and that as in the physical world no life assumes form until after a seed is sown, and no higher fruit than that of the parent stock can be produced ; so in the spiritual world, no effect can be produced until the seed is sown and the fruit will depend upon the nature of the seed, so that the results which you secure depend upon your perception of law in the mighty domain of causation, which knowledge is the highest evolution of human consciousness.
GodScope Meditations # 19.
For your next exercise, concentrate, become so absorbed in the object of your object of your thought that you are conscious of nothing else, and do this a few minutes every day. You take the necessary time to eat in order that the body may be nourished ; why not take the time to assimulate your mental food ? Let the thought rest on the fact that appearances are deceptive. Matter which was once supposed to be fixed has been found to be in a state of perpetual flux. Try to realize that the day is fast approaching, its dawn is now at hand, when modes of thought and action must be adjusted to rapidly increasing knowledge of the operations of eternal principles.
GodScope Meditations # 20.
For your next exercise, go into the silence and concentrate on the fact that "In Him you live and move and have your being" is literally and scientifically exact ! That you are because HE is, that if HE is omnipresent, HE must be in you . That if HE is all in all you must be in Him ! That HE is spirit and you are made in "His image and likeness" and that the only difference between His spirit and your is one of degree, that a part must be the same in kind and quality as the whole. When you can realize this clearly you will have found the secret of the creative power of thought, you will have found the origin of both good and evil, you will have found the secret of the wonderful power of concentration, you will have found the key to the solution of every problem whether physical, finacial or environmental.
GodScope Meditations # 21.
For your next exercise, concentrate on the Truth. Try to realize that the truth shall make you free, nothing can permanently stand in the way of your perfect success when you learn to apply the scientifically correct thought methods and principles. Realize that you are externalizing in your environment your inherent soul potencies. Realize that the silence offers an ever available and almost unlimited opportunity for awakening the highest conception of Truth. Try to comprehend that omnipotence itself is absolute silence ; all else is change, activity, limitation. Silent thought concentration is therefore the true method of reaching, awakening and then expressing the wonderful potential power of the world within.
GodScope Meditations # 22.
For your next exercise concentrate on these beautiful lines : "Speak to Him, thou, for He hears, and spirit with spirit can meet, closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet." Then try to realize that when you do "Speak to Him" , you are in touch with omnipotence.
This realization and recognition of this omnipresent power will quickly destroy any and every form of sickness or suffering and substitute harmony and perfection. Then remember there are those who seem to think that sickness and suffering are sent by God ; if so, every physician, every surgeon and every Red Cross Nurse is defying the will of God, and hospitals and sanatoria are places of rebellion instead of houses of mercy. Let your thought rest on the fact that until recently Theology has been trying to teach an impossible creator, one who created beings capable of sinning and then allowed them to be eternally punished of such sins. Of course, the necessary outcome of such extrordinary ignorance was to create fear instead of love, and so, after three thousand years of this propaganda, Theology is now busily engaged in apologizing for Christendom. You will then the more readily appreciate the ideal person, the human made in the image and likeness of God, and you will the more readily appreciate the all-originating mind that forms, upholds, sustains, originates and creates all there is.
GodScope Meditations # 23.
Now concentrate on the fact that you are not a body with a spirit, but a spirit with a body, and that it is for this reason that your desires are incapable of any permanet satisfaction in anything not spiritual. Money is therefore of no value except to bring about the conditions which you desire, and these conditions are necessarily harmonious. Harmonious conditions necessitate sufficient supply, so that if there appears to be any lack, you should realize that the idea or soul of money is service, and as this thought takes form, channels of supply will be opened, and you will have the satisfaction of knowing that spiritual methods are entirely practicle.
GodScope Meditations # 24.
Now, realize that this is truly a wonderful world in which you live, that you are a wonderful human being, that many are awakening to a knowledge of the Truth ; the splendour which exists for those who find themselves in the "Promised Land", and have found that all you ever willed or dreamed was but a faint concept of your dazzling mind reality to "be", "do", and "have" glory to your Almighty GOD.
Daily Blessing Suggestion :
Asking God to bless the food before a meal has been an acceptional ritual handed down from generation to generation. It has been thought by "believers" to promote better nutritiion and healing by raising the vibration of the food.
Better if we ask God to bless our proper selection of more complete foods as we go shopping for that which will advance our physical and our spiritual needs.
Ask Him to bless the preparation of the food, and the temperance in eating, so as to unable our bodies to receive the utmost of value from what God has so abundantly supplied for our daily use.
Better to ask God to give us knowledge to keep our bodies strong and healthy so we have no need to ask Him to heal a sick and ailing body that we produced ourselves by not originally obeying His simple laws.
Blame not God for the many illnesses and diseases you have created (they are not "Acts of God").
Better to ask God for His blessings and forgiveness -- and to give strength and wisdom to properly apply the inner knowledge of His simple laws.
NOTE
The following Blessing is given solely as a suggestion ; anyone who follows it does so voluntarily. Since each person, naturally reacts differently, each individual must use his/her own judgement as to its use.
