I Am Immersed in the Flame of Love

Lovingly affirm:

“I am immersed in the flame-

The flame of time,

The flame of love,

The flame of life.

The universal fire flows through me.”*

The Living God is appearing as you and every seeming thing. 

I feel Light(er) when you get this. 

And you’re getting this. 

I Love you,

“Everything exposed to the light itself becomes light” (Ephesians 5:13). In prayer, we merely keep returning the divine gaze and we become its reflection, almost in spite of ourselves (2 Corinthians 3:18). The word prayer has often been trivialized by making it into a way of getting what we want. But I use prayer as the umbrella word for any interior journeys or practices that allow us to experience faith, hope, and love within ourselves. It is not a technique for getting things, a pious exercise that somehow makes God happy, or a requirement for entry into heaven. It is much more like practicing heaven now. +Adapted from The Naked Now: Learning to See as the Mystics See, pp. 22-23.

“Live for a few days in the meditation, “I am immersed in the flame-The flame of time, The flame of love, The flame of life. The universal fire flows through me.” Step into that fire. wholeheartedly, Starting with the big toe, Then, surrendering everywhere. Only the not-self, Which doesn’t exist anyway, Burns away. Attend to this continually And awaken into tranquility. Your essence is renewed in the flame, For it is flame and knows itself as flame Since the first heartbeat of creation.

Imagine the entire world consumed by flame. Stay steady, do not waver, As fire transmutes form into light. The soul reveals itself.” To itself as Radiance.- the Radiance Sutras
