Inspiration is common to the person
who is accustomed to meditation.
Milk and Honey
         As important as quietness: It is healing to our souls, and curing to our nerves. It removes cares and worries of life from our consciousness, thereby enabling us to enjoy the goodness of life, in peace and comfort.
         No wonder Jesus advised his disciples to come away by themselves to a lonely place and have rest for their souls.

The Law Of Attraction And Repulsion
         The law of attraction states that thought has the inherent ability to attract into manifestation the idea embodied in it. The actor on the stage is a clear demonstrator of this law. He is not the character. But by thinking like the character, he is able to behave the way his character would.
         Thought precedes and determines action. Thoughts of success, prosperity, progress and optimism eventually manifest. Likewise, the thought of misfortune, ill luck and poverty manifests. It is the natural tendency of man to become what he usually thinks of life. Positive thinking enhances progress and success in life, while negative thinking culminates in poverty and stagnation.

How To Meditate On God
  1. Love God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul, with all your spirit and with all your life.

    2.          But is this possible? Yes! You love God with all your heart, mind, soul, spirit and life, when you live for God. To live for God means to perform all your duties as service offering to God. That is what it means to be a living sacrifice.

    I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1

  2. Depend on God only, and pray to Him, for all your needs.

  3. Read and study the scriptures.

    4. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. Deuteronomy 6:6-9

  4. All actions are performed by the forces of nature, by the Holy Spirit. You sow a seed and go you way, and the forces of nature make them grow and bear fruits. When you eat food, the forces of nature digest, assimilate and distribute the nutrients even while you are unaware of what is happening. Therefore, do not claim doership of all the good things you do. Give God the glory.

  5. Pray to God.

  6. Understand that God is your everyday friend and companion. Therefore, talk to Him as you would talk to a friend. Talk to Him as you would talk to a father, and talk to Him as you would talk to your superior, and as you would talk to a person present with you.

  7. Be attentive to the voice of God speaking to you in the form of conscience.

  8. Make use of inspiration, which is message-bearing light from the heart of God to the heart of all living things, inspiring each according to its need, desire and necessity.

  9. Think about God always.

  10. Avoid cruelty to all animate and inanimate things. God is a friend and companion to all living things.

  11. Observe quiet time at home, in the office, in holy place, on the road etc.

  12. Use your prophetic gifts of vision (clairvoyance), hearing (clairaudience), dream, trance, instinct, institution, etc. God speaks to His people.

  13. Perform your duties without expecting rewards, and without complains. Thereby, you release yourself from the cycle of birth and death (reincarnation), and rise above the law of karma. You then overcome the world.
