Concentration 10
Thank You Aum. Thank You Gye Nyame.
Thank You Aum. Thank You Gayathri.

If we would be free from slavery to the senses and not the
sock puppet, entangled in Maya, we must come back into
union with You. We begin to come back to union with You
by thinking of You, concentrating on You, and eventually
meditating on You.
2
The more we concentrate on You, the stronger we are in
Your "Grip" in Your "Hands" completely surrendered to
You in harmony with You. This makes greater our ability to
resist the temptations and attractions to the objects of our
senses. Those attraction enslave us in Maya.
3
You are the witness, the doer, the deed done, and the source
of Everlasting Life. Thank You for revealing to us how to lead
our lower self with our higher self. We do this by always
concentrating of You, thus remembering You in all we think,
feel, will, say, and do, we gradually rise out of Maya to bliss-filled
union with You.
4
In the light of our research, observation, and experience,
all vibration, no matter how subtle, is pervaded and
transcended by You. Thank You for teaching us how to
concentrate on You so that we can gradually see and experience
this Truth.
5
Just as the one ether pervades and transcends the universe,
You are The Most Powerful, the One Divinity, who pervades
and transcends all the Ether. Boundaries, religions, sexes,
forms, cultures, fashions, borders, circumstances, and states
of consciousness are within You.
6
Thank You, Ever-Present, Intelligence of all sentient beings,
for showing us how to use our prayer, studies, and nonviolent
sacrifices to help us concentrate our awareness on You.
7
The more we concentrate our consciousness and awareness on
You, the more we are awake, morally straight, exceedingly alive
and positive in this moment.
8
Concentrating on You Purifies our consciousness.
Purification of consciousness frees us from anger, worry,
lamentation, and hankering. It restores us to our natural
state within and beyond compassion, celebration, and
craving.
9
As we are purified and awakened to our original virtuous
nature, we are more grateful, honest, kind, free from desire,
and increasingly able to make quiet and edifying
contributions to our own as well as the welfare of all sentient
beings.
10
We get right with You by concentrating on You. We do this by
surrendering all we think, feel, will, or do, as an offering to You.
This spiritual practice brings our will into harmony with Your
will, the Way of Peace.
11
As a consequence of having our mind exceedingly concentrated on You,
it is ever stronger and not easily carried away by the thoughts. As the
mind is strongly concentrated on You, our consciousness becomes more
purified and stronger in its ability to resist unedifying in thoughts, words,
and deeds.
12
We concentrate on You by studying about You from all the scriptures we can
find. We concentrate on You by hearing about You from as many of the Prophets,
Massiahs, Incarnations, and Holy Ones as we can locate. We concentrate on You by
speaking about You as often as possible when we have receptive ears who want to
learn. We concentrate on You by chanting Your name or names. We concentrate
on You by abiding quietly as Thoughtless Silence.
