In the Christ Jesus Yotzer Kabbalistic world of mental creation, we think
about concepts (meanings of meaningful word) in pairs:

The Eleven True Disciples can be meditated on in divine tantric order
from the top chakra 1) (Sahasraha (divine individuality)--Satyam (relative
truth)) downward, 2) Ajna (intuition)--tapaha (austerity),
3) Vishudda (emanation of purity) -- janaha (cause), 4) Anananha (silent
effort) -- maha(universality), 5) Manipura (pure mental jewel)-- Swah
(heaven), 6) Swadisthana (uprighteousness), Bhuvah (astral plane), 7)
Muladhara (root or seed) -- Bhur (earth)

From top Christ to bottom Jesus*:

1) Peter --Faith, Andrew -- Strength
2) Johnathan -- Imagination(pefection in form), Philip -- Power
3) James Son of Zebedee-- Wisdom, John --Love
4) Thomas --- spiritual understanding, Matthew --will
5) James Son of Alphaeus-- Divine Order, Zeal Simon the Cananean
6) Thaddeus -- Renunciation

We have followed the list and order in the book "The Twelve Powers" by
Charles Fillmore

Mr. Freeman was one of several very good prayer directors the USC Silent
Unity Prayer Group has had.
In a 1992 booklet, "A Drill in The Silence", the following meditation steps
and series of affirmations were published by Unity School of Christianity as
part of an article by him.
These series of affirmations/meditations/realizations are an expanded way to
meditate and realize the one of the most important basic thought about God's
name, "Be still and know I am God." Also you can go through the drill first
for yourself and then for someone else that you are praying with that you
want to bless. Just substitute the word You for the word I.

I have been praying them off and on since 1981 when sent them a lot of
prayers over several years and later visited Mr. Freeman and my prayer
friends there in Lee's Summit.
His spirit goes on in these prayers.

Step 1 "You should always try to be relaxed in body and receptive in mind."
"Underneath are the everlasting arms".
Say this quietly and feel the Presence of God freeing you from every thought
of tension.
If you are tense in any part of the body "Relax and let go." from the top of
the head to the soles of the feet.

Step 2 "Be still and know that I AM God."
"In the silence you unify yourself with God when the thoughts and feelings
are quieted and the doors of the senses are shut."

Step 3 "Turn your attention to the top of your head and declare, "I AM the
light of the World."

Step 4 "Center your thoughts above your eyes and say/meditate/realize, "I see
with the eyes of the Spirit.

Step 5 Centering your attention at the throat say/meditate/realize, "All
power is given unto me in mind and body."

Step 6 Fix your thought at the back of the neck and say/meditate/realize, "I
am unfettered and unbound."

Step 7 Direct your attention to your back and declare, "I am strong in the
Lord." for his yoke is easy and his burden light

Step 8 Turn your attention toward your heart and declare, "I am the perfect
expresssion of divine Love."

Step 9 Fix your attention at the pit of the stomach and say, "I Am satisfied
with divine Substance."

Step 10 Focus on the navel and say, "Divine order is established in my mind
and body."

Step 11 Center your thoughts at the lower part of the abdomen and say, "I am
alive forevermore in Christ Jesus."

Step 12 Finally centering your thoughts in the feet and legs affirm, "I walk
in the paths of righteousness and peace."

Subject: Lenten Confession (extra prayers for others may be needed)
Author: Andrew W. Harrell
Posted: 2/19/2010 07:33:38 AM

It is easy to think we have affirmed enough and prayed enough for others when
we repeat these steps using the words I first and then You. However, in my
experience it often turns out it is also necessary to affirm and pray the
additional set of 11 steps:

1) You and I both are Relaxed in mind and body.
2) You and I both are the Light of Christ.
3) You and I both see things with spiritual sight.
4) All power is given unto you and I both in mind and body.
5) You and I both are unfettered and free.
6) You and I both are perfect expressions of Divine Love.
7) You and I both are strong in the Lord.
8) You and I both are satisfied with Divine Substance.
9) Divine Order is established in you and I both.
10) You and I both are alive forevermore in Christ Jesus.
11) You and I both walk forward together in Righteousness and Peace.

Subject: step 5 is not to be abused
Author: Andrew W. Harrell

When affirming step 5, it is important to realize, that even the Lord Jesus
Christ and His Heavenly Father do not have absolute power in the sense they
have a right to do nothing, taking no action to report problems to others who
can prosecute these acts by way of the civil authorities (as some people in
our Church have done) when people are hurt and abused and it is brought to
their attention.
Nor, do people who are managing others and representing Jesus Christ in our
civil government and universities(and their are plenty of such people) have a
right to try and control others by withholding information than can help them
accomplish legitimate aspects of their job descriptions and job goals.

Some more thoughts on the 11 True disciples meditation

The Spiritual gift of Faith starts out from hearing (which is in the formless
realms) So, faith which comes from hearing and dwells in a realm of spatial,
visual, form or substance.
(Romans 1). Form here means form as defined by the Buddhists. ie something
which occupies space. So to say we are meditating on something with form (
with seed... in Sanskrit, we use the term sabija meditation or samadhi) is to
say we are meditating or doing Spiritual realization or samadhi on something
that that is actually refined in a finite reality of space or coordinate
geometry. The gift of Spiritual hearing, however, is more associated with
Hope* than Faith, and comes from an infinite formless realm of Spiritual
Truth. What is the difference between Truth and Reality or realization?
Nothing in one sense, but something in another.

Mr. Freeman's 11 steps are aimed toward the meditative realization according
to the viewpoint of Saint James (the archangel Michael representing the west
or last of the four steps or directions that spiritual righteousness (dharma)
takes as it circles clockwise three times around the individual's realization
of his own truth inside of God's truth. The first time or "coming" of Jesus
Christ is God's gift of Salvation in Christ. The second coming of Christ
Jesus represents God's gift of redemption. The third coming is
Justification, or God's spiritual establishment or grounding of His Truth in
our spiritual bodies.
My comments to Mr. Freeman's thoughts are written from the viewpoint of Saint
Andrew, or the archangel Gabriel who dwells in the South part of the dharma.
Gabriel is more involved in the beginning, the expansive, evangelical part,
of the Christian's truth. While Michael is more involved in the ending, final
resting and judgement of God's Truth. Thus, we have the sayings of Michael, "
Be still and know that I AM God". While Gabriel will more often say to us, "
I AM the eternal God, underneath are the eternal arms (I will dwell between
your shoulders) Genesis.

the angel Gabriel (St. Gabriel, St. Andrew) is usually directly associated
with the 1st coming of Jesus Christ. While the angel Michael (St. James, St.
Michael) is normally directly assoiated with His second coming.

They are both directly associated with His third coming.

*St. Paul discusses this in Romans 8.

worship God’s presence as One Will in the World and us as Spirit and Truth.
We worship His presence in us as the One Will of Jesus’s Holy Spirit in our
heart. He is He who is the sound of one poor, meek hand clapping itself
(another blessing, praying, judging us, and the world), renewing and
regenerating all of us eternally. He breathes slow and in rhyme with our
spirit like someone beating a drum to encourage us all (the angelic hosts)
climbing the mountain of God during springtime, and in summer: onward,
upward, individually, faithfully, forward spiritually. We worship His
presence in our hearts as a divine will breathing eternally and as gentle as
a willow tree being moved in the breeze.


Hail Peter (the prophet Noah and Enoch, brother of Andrew, first prince of
the Church), blessed art thou among men and blessed are your eyes that see
the Christ in all of us.

Isaac, ),

prosperity, wife of Adoniram, grandmother of Sarah.

souls. He is and You are God’s Only Son the Christ. Blessed art the words
that come forth out into the World from thy mouth.
And, blessed is your Holy Spirit (Isaac) inside of each of us giving power
and authority unto us.

Hail Joseph, the righteousness branch of Jacob, fruitful bough in God’s tree
of life. Blessed are thou and blessed are the therapeutae who heal using your
thought and meditation techniques of thy sons (denials and affirmations).

Hail James, blessed art thou among men, be still and know that I AM God.
Blessed is the wisdom in thy, our bowls and back that heals and guides us.

Hail Matthew (Luke, Thomas) blessed art thou among men. Blessed is your
understanding, constant, healing spirit that toils unceasingly as a divine
helper growing up and living near the hearts of God’s prophets, teachers and
priests.

Hail Stephen, student of the disciples of Jesus, early martyr of the
Christian Church, great is your reward in heaven and on earth.

Hail John, blessed art thou among men (the prophet Elijah, Abraham) and
blessed is the glory of God in thy bosom (heart) that transfigures you and
me, a perfect expression of God’s love in us.

Hail Jonathan (Nathaniel, Joseph) blessed art thou among men and blessed is
our faithful mind in you that spiritually and upholds God’s Biblical truth
for us.
