Secret chamber of the heart/en: Difference between revisions

<blockquote>

Specifically the soul’s awakening to the consciousness of the kingdom begins in the hidden chamber of the heart. I would speak of this chamber as the house of the Lord of which [[David]] spoke when he said, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.”<ref>Ps. 23:6.</ref>

David knew his Lord as the hidden man of the heart dwelling in the hidden chamber of the heart. When David said, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,”<ref>Ps. 23:1.</ref> he spoke of his guru, his own Christ Self, upon whose law he meditated day and night.

Throughout all time, the sons and daughters of God who have come into the initiations of hierarchy have been received in sacred audience in the hidden chamber of the heart by the hidden man of the heart. To Hindus and Buddhists, this hidden chamber is the secondary heart chakra, an eight-petaled lotus that is identified within the twelve-petaled heart chakra.

It is the place where the chela contacts the guru. It is the place where the laws of cosmos are written in the inward parts of man, the laws handed down through the world’s religions—the precepts of the Vedas and Upanishads, the Avesta, the Tao Te Ching, the Dhammapada and [[Eightfold Path]] of the Buddha, the [[Torah]] and the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount, and the Koran.

For the law is inscribed upon the inner walls of the hidden chamber of the heart. Here the psalmist delighted in the law of the Lord.<ref>Ps. 1:2.</ref> Here he visualized, like his counterpart in the East, the sea of nectar, the island of gems, fragrant flowers, trees symbolizing the branches of spiritual teaching bearing the fruit of the Spirit. Here the Eastern devotee visualizes the platform and the throne constructed of fiery jewels.  

Here on the throne ensconced in lotus flame is the guru, the [[Christ Self]], who receives the soul of the initiate. Here the psalmist also walked. Here he became like the tree of life planted by the rivers of water bringing forth the fruit, the flow of the energies of the heart chakra, in season and in cycle.<ref>Ps. 1:3.</ref>

This chamber is the sanctuary of meditation, the place to which the souls of the lightbearers withdraw.<ref>{{THA}}, boot 2, chapter 4.</ref>
