The Wellspring Series # 5 - Centering

Imagine that you walk into a desert to contemplate your life. Immediately, you see how frequently you rush outside yourself —to people, occupations, places, things— in search of strength and peace and meaning, forgetting that the source of all is here within your own heart, understanding that it is here where you must search. Each person carries thoughts that have the power to bring instant peace. In this podcast, De Mello offers a way to search for yours.

Transcript

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.

There are vast unexplored treasures within each of us.

As you may discover in this exercise that is called the center.

Imagine that you walk into a desert place.

Spend some time exploring the surroundings.

Then settle down to contemplate your life.

Observe how frequently you rush outside yourself.

To people,

To work,

To places,

To things.

In search of strength and peace and meaningfulness in life.

Because you constantly forget that the source of everything you seek is right here within your heart.

It is here that you must search.

Are you aware that you,

Like every other person in the world,

Carry within you thoughts that have the power to bring you instant peace?

Search for those thoughts.

What are the thoughts that you fall back on when you have to face life's challenges with fortitude and courage?

Bring them to mind right now.

There are thoughts that have the power to make you warm and gentle.

To take away the hatred and the anger in your heart.

Are you familiar with them?

What are the thoughts that give meaning to your life?

What are the thoughts that produce contentment that give you joy?

What are the thoughts that inspire you to service?

Before you leave your desert,

You must recall the existence of another source within that does not need the aid of thoughts to give you everything you need.

You can make an indirect attempt to reach this source by imagining a cave within your heart,

A cave that is suffused with light.

You walk into that cave and the light invades your body as you enter.

You can feel its rays create and energize and warm and heal.

So sit within that cave in silent adoration and let that light seep in through every pore of your being.

So so so
