Sun Meditation

by Jim Cox

I heard an interview with a spiritual teacher, and got this nifty image, so let’s try it…

Everyone take a few deep breaths and relax
playful creativity is good
now let’s focus that energy together

Sitting on the top of your head is the Sun

bumping right up against you
where is the edge of the sun?
is it the ring of visible fire?
or the extent of its light?
or the extent of its invisible energy?

Considered this way, the Sun has no edge, no limit

as its energy continues to expand and spread throughout the galaxy,
it is more and more a part of everything else in that galaxy

Let that light shine right through you, head to foot

let there be no barrier or resistance
the rays of light, bouncing off your skin,
make up part of the total reflection of light
that moves across the universe,
taking your essence with it

Wherever the Sun is visible,

across the Galaxy,
you are already there too
for everyone here,
our energy signatures are overlapping and mixed,
creating a new, distinct pattern,
with an identity of its own
this too moves through the Universe, everywhere at once
both local and universal
focused in these personalities here,
yet existing everywhere

A great philosopher said¹,

“The nature of God is a circle,
of which the center is everywhere
and the circumference is nowhere.”

So that is your own State of Being

You may focus on the personality here,
but you always exist everywhere, in the All
Enjoy your time together, but remember your true nature.

¹Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), French theologian, physicist and mathematician once said in his Pensées “Dieu est une sphère infinie, dont le centre est partout et la circonférence nulle part.”
