*The Crucible Meditation*


Now, all of you: close your eyes.  Let's take the first step towards that
blending, forming that initial /association/ to all the different levels in
the body and in the universal reality, through that /heart/ gate.  All of you
take a deep breath in, and hold it: one, two, three, four.  Let it out and
hold it: one, two, three, four.  Take it in: one, two, three, four.  Let it
out: one, two, three, four.  One more time, take it in: one, two, three,
four.  And out... and sigh.

Now just allow yourself, again, to breathe, slow it down... and as you do
so imagine, feel in whatever way, shape or form works best for you, /doesn't/
/matter how/.  Hear the heartbeat.  Hear that gentle peace, subtle peace.

Hear the gentle double beats, the first beat of All That Is and the second
beat of the reflection, the statement of the echo, the I am and the All
That Is; the I am and the All That Is.  The One, the All: one, all, one,
all, one Self.

This is the song that your heart always sings and always reminds you about
the initial beat, and the echo of the first reflection that created all the
diversification, and causes there to be a flow of energy through you.  The
lifeblood, the first beat -- poof, the I Am.  And the second beat -- poof,
the All That Is.  And the flow, the fountain that issued forth from that
subtle recognition, that self-awareness -- the first reflection.

This is the crucible, the furnace, the chalice, the covenant; this is where
it all comes together: all energies, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, patterns,
actions, ideas, all the senses, sights and sounds, and tastes and smells,
feelings and resonances and knowingnesses. It all comes together in this
central chamber of the heart.  Boom -- boom, boom - boom, the first beat
takes it all in, and in-between the beats it changes everything into
everything else.

And with the second beat, boom - out-flow into your reality.  First beat,
in-between the beats, change.  Second beat out, boom - change, boom,
change... in... change... out, in... transform... out... in... melt, out...
re-crystallizing in that melting process, melting and re-crystallizing,
taking it in and transforming it, changing it, sending it out... constant
flux, constant flow, constant change flowing through you.

New ideas coursing through your veins, new vibrations resonating through
your body, like a beacon, an expanding sphere. Every heartbeat creates an
expanding shell of energy, an expanding sphere going through your physical
form, out into your aura, out beyond, boom - boom, boom - boom, and at the
same time, it echoes back, boom - boom, inward.  Spheres expanding, spheres
collapsing outward, at the same time inward, outward and inward, outward
and inward.

Allow your dreams to be realized.  Take it in; transform it, let it out.
Take it in; transform it, and let it out.  Know, see, feel that crucible,
that infinite furnace of bright white light in which no form can remain. In
which all forms interchange and re-form with every other form -- directly
by the vibration of your intention.  As your hands shape the clay, as your
thoughts shape the day in this crucible of light in the chamber of your
heart, all ideas are broken down, melted and re-crystallized into whatever
form -- into a form of a vibration of your intention, your unconditional
vibration of love.  Your excitement, your desire, your expression of self,
your unique universe is in that heart.  All things are there, all times,
all people, all places, everything and anything.

The Infinite exists in-between the beats, and in the Infinite - everything
is possible.  You are the infinite, expressing a particular pattern of
reflectivity.  You are the eyes of God seeing itself over and over again,
in all the ways that it can.

ACCEPTING, releasing: accepting, releasing; loving in, loving out;
unconditional accepting in, unconditional accepting out.  Boom - boom.
Boom - boom.  Boom - boom.  Boom - boom.

Now take a deep breath in... one, two, three, four... push it out through
your mouth.  Take a deep breath in: one, two, three, four, open your mouth
wider... take a deep breath in: one, two, three, four... open your mouth
wider still... Ah... those three stages - once again, tight, open and all
the way.  Take a deep breath in... all the things now that you feel are of
stress... blowing them out through the forcefulness, (he exhales) this
represents the former constriction... take a deep breath in... more
openness, more expansiveness, more WILLINGNESS... the sigh of resignation
and allowance.  Take a deep breath in... the total openness of complete
vulnerability and acceptance and unconditional love.  Ah... that
relaxation.  You don't have to TRY so hard... and flow like a stream,
relax, enliven, literally enliven.

At your own pace, open your eyes.  Feel refreshed.  Re-crystallized.

And remember, you are the crucible of transformation and the /vibration/ of
your field also determines what it is you draw in.    The oxygen follows
lines, pathways of vibration resonances when you have the intention that
what you require is in support of that oxygen, that's what comes, that is
what is created.
