An other advice, is that you cannot turn to God or
your pure center of Being [or, the Self] without turning away your
attention from the little ego self, - from the "me" and "mine"...
A REMINDER AND AN IMPORTANT ADVICE ON THE PRACTICE
To unfold the "Perfect Model" is a step in the right
direction... it helps you to RESONATE with the concealed Energy of your
sacred Image.. your concentration may help you to merge into a state of
openness and alert passivity, in which true contemplation becomes
possible, but on the other hand, it could result in some kind of false,
incomplete or confused contemplation... Just be aware that the divine
Ground of all being reveals itself only to those in whom there is no
ego-concentration of any kind of volition, thought or feeling...
This truth is summed up when Meister Eckhart says: "
He who seeks God under settled form lays hold of the form, while missing
the God concealed in it. " The point clearly is to seek God or the Source
of Being provisionally under a form which from the
beginning is clearly recognized as merely a SYMBOL OF REALITY, a
mere signboard or a pointer that must some time or other be discarded in
favor of what it stands for : " To seek Him under a settled form - settled
because regarded as the very shape of Reality - is to commit oneself to
illusion and a kind of idolatry."
Love came and
like blood filled my veins and tissues, Emptied me of myself and filled me
with the Friend, The friend has taken possession of every atom of my
being. The name is all that I have left now — all the rest is He.

Truth
did not come into the world naked, but it came in the types and images.
It will not receive it in any other fashion. There is a rebirth and an
image of rebirth. It is fitting for those who do not only receive the
name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, but have obtained
them for themselves. If anyone does not obtain them for himself, the
name also will be taken from him. But one receives them in the chrism
of the fullness of the power of the Cross, which the apostles call the
right and the left. For this one is no longer a Christian but a
Christ.
