PRAYER 4
"Blessed is the Light. Shower on me Thy Ray. For as I travel in the darkness of this world of mine, I beseech Thee to illuminate my path.
"I petition Thee, O Christ, to lead me into Thy midst and that I may be filled with Light.
"For unto my light, I ask that my brothers may add their light, under the Holy Order of the Cross, and with the help of the ancient Brothers and Masters. O Christ, may I be filled with Light so that I may find my way to God.
"I, the mortal body, need this Divine strength that I may face in reality sins of the past.
"That when I am ready to look upon the God of my Being, and see the glory of all Creation, I will then have the strength to turn my back on the world and accept the eternal divinity.
"I hail the symbol of our Order, knowing the use of and accepting the responsibility of the elements of Creation--the power of the Word and the Law.
"Thus I offer myself on the fire-cross of the Spirit of God, surrounded by His Omnipotence with Life, Love and Light with the strength of the experience of my Soul.
"Now that I pass through the crucifixion, I now seek the resurrection through regeneration. Thus, comes peace and freedom eternal."
I now realize:
1. O Mortal, that thou art the densest form and vehicle of God-Self.
2. O Mortal Body, thou art transitory.
3. Thou canst deceive me no longer, for thou art only what the real SELF makes of thee.
4. My Soul, I am only what thou art. All else is a passing fancy like the image in the mirror.
5. Therefore, I command my outer Being to humble its ego, and cast aside the veil and permit me to express from within, for God is within, and without. We are inseparable.
(Meditate:)
O Soul of me, do reveal in retrospection as I am in the eyes of the Cosmic.
Let man sit alone and keep silent. Amen.
