The Powers of Thought
Human Beings have become so used to operating at a superficial level that it is now difficult to introduce them to any alternatives.
They are unaware that working with thoughts can open up extraordinary possibilities that no other activity can ever provide.
Most human work involves, to some degree, stirring up the coarser material, while the work of thought allows the extraction of the essence.
If you do not know how to work with your thoughts, to concentrate, to control yourself, to direct your energies to the upper regions of yourself, you will just clutter your life and be unable to achieve anything until you learn to extract the quintessence.
A great many people have ideas, but they live in such a way that there is never any connection between their ideas and their actions.
There must be an intermediary, a bridge, and that intermediary is feeling, emotion.
When it enters the dimension of the emotions, an idea takes on flesh and blood and becomes capable of influencing matter.
Feeling, therefore, is the lever that is capable of touching matter.
Thought is too remote, too subtle; it passes matter by without touching it or causing it to vibrate.
Let me explain this to you by analogy, with the help of a phenomenon familiar to all of you: the action of the sun on air, water and earth (...)
If human beings knew how to interpret and apply to their inner lives, this normal, natural process of the sun's action on the earth through the intermediary of air and water, they would be capable of tremendous transformations, both inwardly and outwardly.
This is what the power of thought consists of!

The best possible use of Meditation
Meditation is like chewing food. When you chew, your glands work and you absorb through the tongue the most subtle and spiritual energies. Meditation is chewing thoughts. But of course, when it comes to meditation, it implies that your thinking focuses on philosophical, spiritual, mystical subjects. Meditation should take us to a more elevated world and bring us light and peace.
Meditation requires preparation. Those who start meditating without having acquired a certain inner discipline, that is, control over their thoughts, feelings and desires, begin by wandering in the lower regions of the astral plane, and on their way they stir up all kinds of dark layers inhabited by entities often hostile to humans. What they experience then is not meditation. So before practising meditation, you should first put your psychic being in order; otherwise, even this most useful and profitable of exercises can become very dangerous.
Then, begin by meditating on accessible subjects. But you should consider your desires and projects carefully, because if they are too personal, if they do not vibrate in harmony with the order established by God in the whole creation, they will come into conflict with divine laws, with existences, entities, a whole vibratory order, and you will not succeed.
You must understand that the mind should not be used to accumulate money, to seduce, to acquire goods that life seems to refuse to you. Thought should always be directed toward the good of all, it must have an impersonal and disinterested goal: the happiness of all men, the realization of the Kingdom of God on earth.
In this way, without asking and plan a date, you will see that everything you need will happen to you.

Some individual and collective exercises
When you feel upset or unhappy, instead of allowing yourself to be overwhelmed and doing nothing about it, try instead to be proactive. Do so straightaway by connecting to heaven and light through meditation or prayer.
If prayer, meditation or any other so-called spiritual activity is not energised and sustained by a sublime idea, a higher ideal, it too can become extremely mundane. Spirituality is not about neglecting or scorning the material world but about constantly striving to act with the light and for the light.
Thought should always be directed toward the good of all, it must have an impersonal and disinterested goal: the happiness of all men, the realization of the Kingdom of God on earth.
How to dedicate yourself entirely to the service of the Divine World, and how to realize, materialize on earth what lies above in heaven are the two best subjects for meditation.
The sun brings light to the world
° "Concentrate and imagine you are surrounded by a bright light, and that the light radiates so brightly that our meeting becomes a huge sun which illuminates the world. Each of you should feel radiant as a bright sun which heats, sheds its rays and unites with other suns to form a single sun."
° "Place this light in your heart, in your mind, contemplate its multicoloured rays. United with others, radiate your light for the good of the whole world and during this exercise, forget anything else."
