What is about to follow is a guided process conducted by Anthony DeMello.
Please do not listen to this while operating a motor vehicle or any kind of equipment.
From time to time you will hear a chime.
The purpose of that chime is to invite you to put the recording on pause while you either complete an exercise or reflect on something that Anthony DeMello has said.
The Revelation is the title of the next exercise that gives you a clue into an element that is essential to all personal change.
Imagine Christ standing here before you and expose yourself to Him in silence for His presence heals and creates and energizes and transforms.
Chime Now ask Him to give you as complete a list as possible of everything that He finds defective in you.
Each instance of your selfishness.
Each area that you have yet to grow in.
Each thing in you that needs to change.
As He speaks you make a mental note of what He says.
You might even write it down if you think that this will help.
Having done that ask Him which of these defects in His opinion calls for the most urgent attention.
Allow yourself to go blank for a few seconds and imagine that He speaks.
Be open to the fact that what He says may come as quite a surprise.
Something totally unexpected.
Now turn your gaze within to see if you have the will to change this defect.
If you do not then take this lack of will as the first defect that needs to be attended to and changed.
Chime How would you go about changing this or any other defect in you?
You begin with the element that is the most essential of all in every change that you seek.
Before you take a single step it is vital that you hear Christ say these words to you.
He says,
As far as my love for you is concerned it does not matter at all whether you change or not for my love for you is unconditional.
Let those words sink into your heart and allow yourself to feel the full force of the impact that they will make on you.
As far as my love for you is concerned it does not matter whether you change or not for my love for you is unconditional.
Chime Now imagine that you see Christ's power flooding into you.
You feel strong where before you were afraid.
You feel relaxed where formerly you were tense.
You become outgoing in places where you used to be withdrawn.
Chime See yourself going through the day or moving into a situation where this new power is called for.
Now you are equipped with this power that you have received from Christ.
Allow yourself to experience the difference.
Then end the exercise by resting in His loving presence in grateful adoration.
Chime
