"Blueprints for Meditation"
The Word of Life has been Divinely designed as a perfect and limitless atmosphere for meditation, bridging the gap between heaven and earth - and the outer and Inner man; and, if allowed to run its full Course may become a perfect and limitless Goal, in "whomsoever will"; for both the New Creation (the Christ in You), and the New Jerusalem.
The Bread of Life is to be cooked (memorized) and Eaten (meditated) at the Lords table (the holy place), even in the presence of your enemies: and not so much read.
Meditation is the "roasting of that which you took in the hunt" (Pro. 12): and eating and swallowing it. To digest all the "treasures of darkness and the hidden riches of secret places". But the sluggard puts his hand (Faith) into his bowl (Spirit): but is too lazy to bring it back to his mouth (meditate - "to mutter") again.
Pro. 12
He who tills (meditates) his land (heart) shall have abundant Food (Wisdom), but he who chases fantasies lacks judgment.
Meditation exceeds reading, like light exceeds darkness.
Reading is superficial, meditating is super spiritual.
Reading is natural (the exterior), meditating is divine (the Interior).
Ps. 119
"I have more understanding than the Ancients; for Your testimonies are my meditation."
True Christian meditation is not as easy as people think. A large amount of Spiritual stamina (Ps. 119) is required with a strong command of the Inner Man; you need a repertoire of Scriptures to memorize, as a substantial Feed, which requires at least 15-20 Scriptures on the plate to Eat, to build up the loins of your mind and to make fat your soul; a substantial Meal, to produce an Image of the desired Word, that your Inner Man (faith) can see, and imitate.
Eating just a few peas, out of a 7 course Meal everyday will not give you the strength to do anything! The Lord wants His children with fat souls, for the Paths of the Lord drop with fatness.
It takes a while to set up shop for meditation; the entire process of meditation is contrary to one's way of life:
Much preparation and mediation have gone into every one of these meditations: each with many revisions! The three different phases of this book (as a whole), has gone through many revisions. Each verse of every meditation has been meditatively picked, over a season of meditation, as the Scriptures fall in their Divine order. Some meds taking years.
Each meditation makes an excellent Sermon, on its own! This book of meditations is also the Divine curriculum for my Christian school which is 50% Scholastic, and 50% Spiritual (Word based).
It is not easy to find a consistent place of Sanctuary, a place to hide from this fast-paced, ruthless world.
Meditation: any-place, any-time, any-where, and its free and limitless!
