Members are encouraged to view the Grand Master’s video prior to the discussion, which includes a guided visualization for attuning with the Celestial Sanctum. She discusses the importance of initiation, ritual, attunement with nature, and silence to take us beyond what we perceive by our five senses. She explains about setting conditions for mystical experiences in the field of Actuality, the source of the original vibrational frequency of everything that exists in potentiality in the unmanifested state. 

In the universe, life is a connected whole, and each individual has a universe inside.  When we unify with the universal Cosmic mind, we find the meaning of life. When we are ready to sense this harmony, a silent voice within prompts us to enter a path of psychic as well as physical development, a spiritual path. 

The beauty and excellence in the world began in the thoughts and actions created by humans in harmony with the Cosmic principles of compassion, mercy, and love. Discord with the universal expressions of law, rhythm, and harmony manifest in humans as illnesses and in the world as war and social unrest, etc. Conflicts are both within and without ourselves.

What is the purpose of conflict? Is it caused by unseen circumstances and disharmony in our minds? When things make no sense, we may wonder why do we exist? Conflicts and adversity are expressions of karma, the law of cause and effect. Individuals and humans collectively create their own karma. Karma as an expression of life and evolution is the foundation of our spiritual progress. Starting a spiritual journey brings difficulties, but mastering them brings victory.

We will discuss:

• Techniques for attuning with the ‘God of our Hearts,’ to move from conflict to resolution.
• Maintaining trust and confidence in our efforts.
• How do we deal with the disharmony we can again experience due to personal struggles after leaving the meditative state?

Some things we could do: strive without passion to look upon life as it expresses itself to us; be faithful in our duties; live according to the law; do unto others as we would have them do unto us; strive never to have negative thoughts towards anyone; retain a conscious control of all our thoughts and actions.
