Watch and Pray: Breath Meditation and the Inside of the Platter (Heart) and Cup (Mind)

Periodically one suggests engaging in motionless breath meditation in a posture comfortable to you and for perhaps ten to twenty minutes before praying and reading the Word.

Certain heart and mind thoughtforms will recur in you habitually. These will arise amid the breath meditation out of the corner of the mind's eye while not immersing one in naive identification with the mental voice as being oneself; as would otherwise more easily obtain. 

This feeling is not me. This thought is not me. Is this a love and wisdom thoughtform? Or a sin and error thoughtform? Is this nurturing or cruel, and is it supportive ideation of nurturance or cruelty? Does the Word identify this thought or feeling as evil or good true or false? Is Hell on the line or Heaven?

If it is evil and ideation supportive of evil, bread of wickedness and wine of violence, it is to go out in the draught. If it is not shunned, relegating it to the draught or periphery, then it will defile the human. 

For the human is defiled by the sin and error thoughtforms and behaviors delighted in and practiced. But the human is nurtured by the love and wisdom thoughtforms, and these shrink like hands from a hot stove if evil is on the plate and falsehood supportive of evil is in the cup. 

You watch and pray by bringing the Word voluntarily into your very feelings and thoughts and capacity for recognizing and shunning some while welcoming and appropriating others.

This occurs countless times, because the panel beating of God is very patient and respectful of the way we would come apart if the tempo of changes in the heart were too strident. And our free will is built into the system of purifying the face, the interior, so that we are no wise compelled but make a free choice between freedom and slavery.

Proverbs 4:23 - King James Version (KJV)

<23> Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Matthew 23:26 - King James Version (KJV)

<26>Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Watch your heart and mind and platter and cup and beasts and birds and pray.

Jesus and the obsessive architecture of the mind

Often, in Christianity and other religions, 'rewards' are mentioned. People often assume that if they live a good life, they will be rewarded for this. But this, while to an extent true - if we do not appropriate the merit as the Nicolaitans do, or commit hypocritical works -- misses the most important part: "The delight itself which is in the love of doing what is good without any recompense is the reward which remains to eternity" (New Jerusalem 155). We are even told, "Heaven is wishing better for others than for ourselves with all our heart and serving others for the sake of their own happiness, not for any selfish goal but for love" (Arcana Coelestia 452:4). There's only one problem. We don't start out like this. We are all of us naturally selfish -- what Christianity calls "the flesh", what the modern world calls "the ego", and what the New Church calls "the propium" -- but by working on ourselves and appealing t

The worst states of your heart and mind should become retrospectively milder

Image
People who pay attention to their faces, their interiors, while God orchestrates their several regenerations will notice the recurrence of troughs; when one uses the word "trough", one means the nastiest 'visitors' -- thoughts and feelings -- which arrive in the inside of the cup, the mind, and the inside of the platter, the heart.  If you are genuinely being regenerated, then you will certainly notice that the troughs become milder over time. Utterly vile feelings and thoughts become gradually and perceptibly milder, in such a way that the process is obvious.  For instance, someone whose head regularly filled up with sexual fantasies involving violence, death, cannibalism, absence of consent, multiplicity of partners, etc, will perceptibly notice that the worst sexual scenarios become obviously milder to the mind's eye. It is the same with other classes of sin and error. If someone was extremely contemptuous of others or bitter about the past, they should -- if G

Ephesians ch.3 especially involves careful instructions to the loving on how to interpret prophecy

A particularly useful but neglected corner of Paul is the 3rd chapter of Ephesians, in which Paul gives careful instructions to the loving on how to interpret prophecy: Ephesians 3:16-19. Paul could not be more explicit: "that they may comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, and to know the love of Christ"; explicit about what? About the supposed architectural dimensions of the temples described in Ezekiel and Revelation. Those who reject living water, as Jeremiah tells, carve them out cisterns which can hold no water. Those who reject living water make much of rebuilding a physical temple, but this is a cistern that can hold no water. It does no good to someone whose needs involve learning how to become humbler and more sincere, helpfuller and less seeking for a reward; but a temple made out of LOVE that is the Church does do good to someone with these pressing needs.  So, one noted that Ephesians ch. 3 is especially instruction
