A Center But No Centering

A  Center  But  No  Centering

from  Assembly — Sunrise Ranch

Bill Bahan   April 30, 1981

Well, this has been a lively morning, looking at centers, more particularly centering. I think it interesting always when various things do come to the fore that need to be considered. You can always depend upon someone to give you something to work with and deal with. 

I received a letter this week from a server, and I have one of his quotes in the letter. It has bearing on what we've been saying and talking about and considering this morning. By the way, I liked what Dawn said about a blood clot somewhere—log jams—and a need for something to move to that, a need for something to move something along. This is the purpose of this Assembly, by the way. Certain things are brought to the Assembly so that we may deal with them; this is our body, we are responsible for this body. If there is a blood clot, we'd better do something. If there's a log jam, it's our responsibility. Now this particular quote from this server is just the evidence of a log jam. Very sincere server; certainly completely dedicated. Here's what he says: 

“As it stands now, we have four empty beds. I would be delighted to have a full house again. It would also help financially as well.” Full house—that's a good hand! Beats a flush, four of a kind. What happened to the full house he had? They left. Why did they leave? because he has a center, but no centering.

There is right now in his particular expression the inability to penetrate others. He's very diligent in wanting to run a center—we wouldn't question his sincerity—but the fire of the Lord is not in his expression. We're certainly not condemning this particular person. We are thankful for him. He was sent to us by the Lord, and he is, as I say, concerned with serving. But there is this inability to penetrate. That's our responsibility—not just wipe him off and say, “Well, that's too bad.” We need to find ways and means by which we can assist those who aren't penetrating—because it is this penetration, the spirit of the Lord in expression, that allows the penetration to the innermost heart of those whom we have opportunity to serve. 

One thing we need to do away with is the excuses that are used for not being able to penetrate. This past Autumn we were in New York, at Adelphi University. They had a big sign up there: “How can I soar like an eagle with all these turkeys around me?” That's usually the excuse, isn't it? It's these turkeys around me that are stopping me from soaring like an eagle. That's an excuse for not penetrating. Or the excuse that “there's no responding ones here.” There are responding ones everywhere. I was impressed the other day in a restaurant in Fort Collins. The girl brought me some garlic bread. I don't go for garlic bread; makes you strong physically and weak socially So I asked her if she'd exchange it, and I loved her answer: she said, “Surely.” Surely! Now here was something going on! Before we left there, there was a wonderful thing going on between the waitress and us, all over garlic bread. But it was her answer which showed the response. 

When we serve the Lord in truth, the welcome mat is always out, as was emphasized by those this morning. It includes everybody. In my own service, I do favor characters, those who do bring something different. The fact that they are bringing something different reveals that they have some degree of courage. Everyone is included in our service. But the problem is how about those in our body who desire to serve the Lord, yet there's a holdup, there's a block. We know we certainly don't write them off; it is our responsibility to find the ways and means by which we may open them up. Now if the spirit of the Lord is almighty, I think it could do even that. That it could even open up some of those who have been in this quagmire of serving the Lord for so many years! I've been doing some thinking on it, as to how this process works out, and what happens if they do get caught along the way—caught in the eddies so that they find it's an arduous task, serving the Lord. We find that they sometimes get tired, and you'll find them sometimes with no fire at all; you always have to build a fire under them to get them going. 

I have a little diagram on the board here, something I came in last night and put on the board that I've been thinking about. Initially, when a person begins to respond to the Lord, it's subconscious, as we know. The person's whole attention and response are in the environment. But something begins to happen underneath, without the conscious mind knowing what it is that's happening. Something begins to be felt; the conscious mind doesn't know what's happening, but the conscious mind is beginning to turn to the Lord. In that initial turning there is an acute angle, we might say. The person in this particular experience begins to experience something—things begin to look different than they did before. Actually, it seems like there's a tremendous amount of light because they've been in such darkness before. Well, as we know, it really isn't very much light; it just seems to be. It's twilight, really. But as the subconscious mind continues to respond and there is the light in what it is that is happening, the person begins to move in heart towards the Lord, standing up here (it's a hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, as we know). But coming to a particular point, probably around 90 degrees or so, the conscious mind begins to come into play, possibly classes begin to open up so that the person begins to see what it is that is required. 

Now this is a very vital time. The person was moving at this particular level, unbeknownst to the conscious mind, and this is good: the conscious mind can't interfere with the movement. Oh, it comes in somewhere along the line—the Son consciousness must come into the picture if this creative process is to continue—and probably along the 90-degree mark or so, the conscious mind begins to come into it. “And I turned to see the voice that spake with me.” Now, I really haven't seen yet, have I? I think he's like this, or I think he's like that. And I haven't really seen yet what it is. I've got all kinds of imagination as to what it is, but I'm still turning. “And I turned to see the voice that spake with me, and being turned, I saw.” There must be the complete turning, the movement is taking place, the conscious mind comes into play, and this particular period between the 90 degree and the 180 degree is the vital time. 

This particular server that we're mentioning, guess where he is? His conscious mind knows certain things that have transpired here or he wouldn't even have been around us. But he's here, and that angle completely describes it: obtuse.

There isn't anything sharp in expression. You might say he's now at the angle of repose. Let it RIP—rest in peace! That's where he is, that's where the situation is. He's not pointed, not producing a sharp impression in his service. So what are we going to do? Well, it's only as there is that complete movement that the Holy Ghost can begin to come upon us—“And ye shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost has come upon you.” It is the power of the Holy Ghost that allows things to be done—in his own experience, his heart is still impure. He probably isn't recognizing that impurity—after all, he's an Emissary! But it's there. What is it that's lacking? A word that I feel is lacking, an experience that's lacking, is the experience of lust. There's no lust. He's more concerned about the center, filling those four empty beds, than he is about lusting after the Lord. It's only as there is this lusting that there can be the cleansing. Lustrate: to make pure, to make clean. In that lusting, the Holy Ghost can begin to come upon us. 

It was somewhere along this phase that Paul got hooked up, didn't he? I've often thought it interesting that when he had his experience of conversion, it was on the road to Damascus. He never got there, but he had this experience. I think in Damascus they made some of the finest swords in the world. Paul never really got to the truth represented by Damascus—he stopped along the way, and he was honest about it. He said, “And now we see through a glass darkly, but then we see face-to-face.” Notice the difference there between the “now” and the “then”? Now then, we could make it now, couldn't we? Now—then. “And now, we see through a glass darkly.” Well if we're seeing through a glass darkly, we're dangerous, very dangerous. 

It's only when that complete turn is made, a hundred and eighty degrees, that it's face-to-face, and no longer is our face the face of some human being, but it is the face of the Lord. When there are those who come face-to-face with us, it isn't some Lord somewhere that we refer them to—but it's our own face. And this happens because there is the lusting after the Lord—this isn't done without zeal, without enthusiasm. What are those words in the 15th chapter of the Book of Revelation, about the sea of glass? “And I saw as it were a sea of glass, mingled with fire, and those who had gotten the victory over the beast.” That sea of glass was mingled with fire, and nothing is done without that Fire; that's the purifying Fire, it's the Fire which allows the lustration, the purifying, the cleansing to take place. 

Glass mingled with Fire. Glass is an interesting substance. It's classified as a solid, but its molecular components are that of a fluid. It becomes a solid when it's taken out of the furnace—and glass is easily breakable. A little pressure on it, and even the bulletproof stuff will shatter. Put a little pressure on the glass, and it'll crack; but that same glass, when it's in the fire—the sea of glass mingled with fire—when it's in the fire, it's then a fluid, it's then quite movable. It's the Fire that allows the work to be done, and we don't come to stand in alignment with the Lord without that Fire. We can see when there is the complete turning—and thank God that the conscious mind comes into play along the line. The heart cannot be purified without this coming into play. When it does come into play, it has the responsibility to allow the purifying Fire of God's love to be put down there in that receptacle which the Holy Ghost would use. When it's there, it works out very easily. Then we have the Father, and the Son. We've considered the fact that there's a very thin layer to the Son consciousness, but as we can see, it connects that which is above to that which is below. One thing, all in alignment. Centering. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. 

We may not go around as John of old, when he was offering baptism, but in our own service we know that we baptize with the Holy Ghost and the Fire. That Holy Ghost is there in our own experience—individually we've had our day of Pentecost, and we haven't run out like Peter of old but we stay in there. There's nothing that means more to us than to stay in there. In that particular outworking with Peter, John, and James, you notice not much is said of James; you hardly hear of him. The conscious mind didn't come into play too much in that particular situation. Well, in the outworking which we're concerned with, we thank God for that conscious mind. There is the Son, and we will accept nothing that comes up from below that isn't true to the Father. What needs to be done is done through the expression of the Father, under the direction of the Son, through the power of the Holy Ghost—because of the alignment with the Father. 

So I thank God for all that has brought us to this point so that we can see what's happening, and if what is happening in your experience and my experience is the truth, there is Fire, and it is a Fire that is unquenchable. There isn't any circumstance that's going to put out our fire. “I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down!” You'd better believe that it is in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost that we serve. Centering—then we may invite others into our center.

The Silver Cord Begins To Have Meaning

The  Silver  Cord  Begins  To  Have  Meaning

from  The Life of Victory

Uranda   November 15, 1951

I wish to touch on what we could properly call the key to the life of victory in the divine pattern, the fulfilment toward which you are all looking and toward which you are moving. It would be well for you to remember this key and meditate upon it, especially if there be times of stress in the pattern of the outworking of your lives. The words may be expressed like this: “Let the will of the Father be done under the direction of the Son, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” To the degree that you can abide in the attitude indicated by these words, you will be moving forward effectively. 

As our Master came near to the concluding hours of His ministry on earth He made a very significant statement: “The prince of this world cometh, and findeth nothing in me.” Long ago I pointed out whenever there is an increased manifestation of divine power because we have moved upward along the way, there will tend to be pressures, or backwash, from out of the world because of the reality of increased radiation. We cannot move forward, in the sense of letting the power of God be released into the world, without having some reaction out of the world. When that reaction out of the world comes back to us, when those pressures come back, if there remains in the individual, in the ghost of his being, that subconscious realm of the mind and heart, those things that are of the world, then this backwash, this reactionary pressure from out of the world, will connect up in the individual with that which is not yet what it ought to be and there will be a tendency to have a reaction—a tendency for whatever there is of the ill things remaining to come out. 

The Master said, “The prince of this world cometh, and findeth nothing in me.” He recognized that, while there had been various cycles of reaction from out of the world during the period of His ministry, the full force of that ministry was coming to its climax and the backwash from out of the world would be appearing. It was near at hand. We remember how He began to meet that reactionary vibration of the world in Gethsemane. If it had not been true that the prince of this world could find nothing in Him, the backwash from out of the world would have destroyed Him in that hour in Gethsemane. The meaningfulness of that hour is something that we might well meditate upon, but before we do we need to recognize certain principles in relationship to ourselves. 

When there is the reality of radiation, of the working of the power of the Holy Ghost through you, it tends to cleanse out from you those things that do not belong to you and are not a part of your reality. However, that radiation going on out into the world produces a reaction in the world consciousness and there is a returning cycle. As you remain centered, fully obedient to the One Law according to the two commandments, that backwash cannot upset you, even though the coming of the prince of this world may reveal something in you that belongs to the prince of this world, something that is not of the divine origin. If you allow yourselves to be controlled by these ill things that remain in you and get connected up in the world pattern, you spoil the outworking of the cycle and by such function deny God, betray His trust—and put yourself in a position where you have to go through the process all over again. The process is not, generally speaking, completed in one operation. Cycles of outworking take place. 

We have considered the nature of this subconscious realm, not just the surface aspects of the subconscious, with which the conscious mind is more or less familiar, but the subterranean aspects of mind and heart.  This that has been built through human self-activity, environmental influence, things projected into the subconscious by the mass consciousness, etc., may be called the unholy ghost in the individual. We are supposed to reach a point where we let the Holy Ghost abide in us and work through us, and it is only by reason of the Holy Ghost in us that we have the privilege of sharing on earth the expression of God's power. As long as there is anything which divides this sub-ghost aspect of being from the Father, the power of God cannot be made manifest in reality through the individual. 

Broadly speaking, the expression which appears through the individual mind is that which comes up through the subconscious. The subconscious aspect of the ghost is the realm where there are receptive points to that which is already contained in the subconscious mind. If we project, by study and learning, certain knowledge, certain ideas into the subconscious mind, then there is an orientation point there in the subconscious mind, even though we may say we have forgotten, which gives a connecting link with vibrational factors of the same kind which may be present elsewhere. If that which is in the subconsciousness is right knowledge, then it takes up with like vibrational factors in the subconscious minds of others in the mass consciousness and there is a contact point in the individual which gives him a sense of relatedness to these things. If nothing has been projected into the individual's subconsciousness with respect to something, he has absolutely no sense of relatedness to it until something with respect to that subject has been projected into his subconsciousness. 

The individual sense of relatedness to other things depends upon what is in the subconscious realm of his own heart and mind. If the things that are there are things that ought not to be there—there are plenty of things in the mass consciousness and in the vibrational pattern of others which ought not to be there—that which ought not to be in the individual provides a sense of relatedness with that which ought not to be in the mass consciousness, and under pressure the individual is inclined to react on the basis of these evil spirits of his own ghost aspect of being, and he becomes subject to that. He denies, by his attitude and action, his centering in God. He says all kinds of things that in any rational moment he knows are utterly false. He becomes irrational under the current of these evil spirits in himself which have a relatedness to all kinds of evil spirits, ill attitudes, etc., in the mass consciousness. 

When a process of cleansing begins by the working of the power of God, or the Holy Ghost, these things begin to get dislodged—they begin to stir up and come to the surface. If the mind is in the habit of becoming subject to that which comes out of the subconscious realm, immediately rational function ceases and the reactionary currents from out of the world appear, the prince of this world cometh and findeth something of himself in the individual, and the individual functions on a basis that is utterly contrary to that which he knows to be the truth. 

The guardian angel, the conscious mind, must reach a point where it is not subject to the subconscious aspect, where it stays centered in the Father, so that it is a manifestation of the Son, or the mind that was in Christ Jesus. Then, when something starts boiling and bubbling from the subconscious realm to be cleansed away, the conscious mind is not taken over by the subconscious vibrational pattern. The conscious mind stays centered because it is anchored in the Father. Then, although there is something in the individual which belongs to the prince of this world, the individual does not allow his centering in the Father to be lost and that which is coming out is cast out. If, however, the conscious mind gives way on an emotional reaction of some kind, so that the irrational expression of the subconscious realm takes control, then the prince of this world not only finds something in the individual but reestablishes his control over the individual and anchors that much more solidly in the individual's sub-ghost, and he has to begin the process of cleansing all over again. 

We remember the text in Ecclesiastes 12:6—“Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.” 

Here we have the elements clearly portrayed in relationship to the whole being of man. The silver cord relates to the seven seals, the endocrine system. A part of the endocrine system has direct relationship to the conscious mind, but in the primary sense the silver cord is the instrument of connection between the Father and the sub-ghost in the individual.

Out of the trunk, or stem, of the manifestation of the silver cord in the individual, innumerable rootlets spread in the expression of life from what we might call the body of form of this subconscious aspect of being in heart and mind. Because the emotional current is working through the silver cord in all respects, where it is actually functioning in any ordinary sense, there is that which establishes vibrational contact points. If the individual has some possession, any article which he is very fond of, he develops a sentimental sense of value, and then we see that some rootlet of the silver cord extends to that object. The individual is connected up with it. It has a part of his life force. A rootlet out of this stem connects up with all of those things to which you respond. 

Over and over again I have emphasized to you that, “According to your response, so be it unto you.” A rootlet of the silver cord working through the subconscious realm connects up with anything—an idea, any of the evil spirits of the heart, greed, selfishness, self-centeredness, or any object, or any person. When you respond to something below you, you are connecting up the very center of your life force with that thing and becoming subject to it. Response to that which is below you, response to that which is not of God in your own subconscious realm, makes you subject to such things, and the mind is in the habit of giving way and turning expression and function over to the subconscious mind instead of holding steady and being the guardian angel. 

The subconscious is a mass actually—it has form. To the degree of response, that sends out a rootlet that connects up with that to which the individual responds. However there are rootlets which appear on another basis, on the basis of controlled command. The uncontrolled expression of the individual life results in that which we see out in the world, where these rootlets are distributed indiscriminately. The individual connects up with all sorts of things, feeds his life force into them, becomes subject to them, degenerates and decays—instead of responding one-pointedly to God through the Father. Remember that there is a controlled expression of the rootlets of the silver cord which can extend out on the basis of command, not because you are responding to something out here but because, by the will of the Father, under the direction of the Son, in the power of the Holy Ghost, a connection is made through which the power may flow to do something. There is an interesting key, but do not try to speculate on it too much.  We will get to a consideration of that in due season. 

It is in the subconscious realm that there is memory. If the individual does something which he conceives to be wrong—whether it is wrong or not is beside the point; it may not have been wrong at all but he thought it was wrong according to his mental idea and what had been established in his subconscious realm—and does not really clear it out by repentance and response to God, he covers it up, as the subconscious mind is quick to do. That which it does not like it buries a little bit deeper, gets it away as far as it can in the depths of itself. The moment there is a guilt complex in the subconscious realm, regardless of what the conscious mind thinks, the subconscious mind turns its face away from God and will not look up to Him, no matter what you do. The guilt complex in the subconscious mind keeps it from acknowledging the Father, keeps it from receiving anything from the Father. It is convinced in itself that it is guilty and it is filled with a sense of shame; so it is bowed down and refuses—because there is no logic or reason in it, remember—to receive anything from the Father because it does not think it is worthy, because it is ashamed. 

As long as there is a guilt complex in the subconscious mind it is utterly impossible for that individual to come into a state of oneness with the Father. The individual cannot of himself clear that guilt complex. He must repent and receive forgiveness in a manner which allows the consciousness of that forgiveness to penetrate into the subconscious mind. Then, when the guilt complex is cleared away, the subconscious realm is no longer ashamed before the Lord but is ready to stand naked and unashamed before the Lord. Then it will look up. The subconscious realm is connected to the Father by means of the silver cord. If the subconscious realm, having a guilt complex and therefore a sense of shame, is separated in consciousness from the Father, there is no way by which anything from the Father can reach it. It shuts itself off. It cannot forgive itself; it cannot remove its own guilt complex. It shuts itself off from the Father. 

The current from the Father is supposed to reach the level of the conscious mind from two directions: a positive and negative pole working through the conscious mind—one, you may say, direct from the Father and the other indirectly from the Father, through the subconscious mind and back to the conscious mind. That which the Father would impress on the conscious mind, by reason of inspiration, must have a body of form, a starting point within the range of that which the individual knows in his subconscious realm, if this direct current of inspiration is going to have meaning. In other words from above, from the Father, direct to the conscious mind, there is an impulse conveying some idea. Unless there is response in the subconscious realm which allows that which will provide the body for this thought that is being projected, the projected thought never gets into the conscious mind. If the subconscious realm is ashamed before the Lord, it will not let anything come out of itself to rise up. 

There must be a starting point. We have to move from the known to the unknown. The starting point of the idea has to be in the subconscious realm. If there is the projection from the Father to the point of the conscious mind and the subconscious responds, some idea that has relationship to that which is being projected is drawn to the surface and comes into the realm of thinking—the pitcher at the fountain, the wheel at the cistern—and something begins to move.  You begin to think in the realm of logic and reason. The inspired thought is in itself logical and reasonable. Projected into the realm of logic and reason, the element of control is established, something arises out of the subconscious realm to give body to it, and then it becomes a thought in the mind. Then meditation upon it allows an expansion of vision and understanding, related ideas begin to appear, and a current of divine inspiration flows.

But as long as the subconscious realm has that guilt complex and is ashamed before the Lord, it will not let any idea arise out of itself in response to that which is projected by the Father—that which is projected by the Father in radiation, or inspiration, does not connect up. It remains meaningless and the individual exists as if he did not have any connection with the Father, controlled by the subconscious realm and its fears and its shames, subconsciously related to the ill vibrations in the world that relate to the ill things in itself. Until the individual allows the guilt complex to be removed, and until the sense of shame has vanished, he cannot be a true instrument for the expression of the will of the Father under the direction of the Son, by the power of the Holy Ghost. Until the unholy ghost has been cleansed, so that it becomes, through the working of the spirit of God, the Holy Ghost abiding in you, you cannot be a means by which God's will is done on earth as it is in heaven. 

Here you have a little glimpse of the machinery by which these things work out. If we are allowing the silver cord from the Father to the subconscious realm to be meaningful during life, so that the subconscious realm has been cleansed and there is no sense of shame controlling there, the subconscious mind is open to the Father—then out of it come those things, rising up to the current of inspiration, that come to focus in the realm of the conscious mind, and the individual begins to know the will of the Father. He begins to speak the Word of the Father, perhaps stumblingly at first, while the machinery is getting into operation, but it begins to work. Then he begins to find that the power of God is a reality, that the wisdom of God, the understanding of God, the knowledge of the cosmos, can find focus in his being according to the need and the response. 

It has been my blessed and holy privilege to help individuals go through these processes of cleansing many times, cycles and cycles moving forward. You have all experienced it to some degree. Now, seeing and understanding something of the principles that are involved in relationship to yourselves, you have the opportunity of taking an honest inventory, of really repenting. What is it the Master said? “Repent, and be baptized”—with fire and the Holy Ghost; the fire of God's love, in the power of the Holy Ghost. “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” But until there is repentance, and the guilt complex removed and the sense of shame banished away, the individual cannot, by any maneuverings whatsoever, by any effort whatsoever, find entrance into that kingdom. 

I trust that you have gained a greater vision of this. You must be willing to trust the Lord and throw yourself on His mercy, so that you repent enough to take the attitude, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” It cannot be just the working of a few thoughts in the mind. It must be a genuine, penetrating thing, that reaches into the depths of being. When there is that genuine repentance, so that the sense of shame can be banished, and the mind centers on the Father and does not respond to anything of the prince of this world in himself, the power of the Holy Ghost can cleanse out the putrid mess that does not belong there. 

When it comes to the surface it will be repulsive. I have seen stark terror in the eyes of those being cleansed, and there is just one thing holding them—love response to God. There was horror at the realization that such things were in themselves, coming to the surface. But if the attitude of the individual is the same as if he had a boil, and he lets the putrid core gush out and does not claim it as his own, does not snatch it and try to push it back into himself, there is a way of freedom for himself. However, if he starts identifying himself with the putrid stuff that starts to gush out of himself, and says, “This is me,” the cleansing is reversed and the mess goes back down inside. 

The individual has to reach a point of polarity where he lets that which does not belong in the subconscious realm be cast out without identifying himself with it, even though it may seem for the moment that he is going to be nothing when the job is done. Then he will realize for the first time, in an absolute sense, that without God he is nothing—there are those within the sound of my voice who can testify to the truth of that. He may have intellectually accepted it for a long time but in that moment he comes face to face with the truth of it, that only in God can he be anything. With the sense of shame cleansed away the subconsciousness turns its face, tear-streaked and perhaps trembling, to the Father, throws itself on His mercy and refuses to be subject to anything coming out of itself or anything that has been related to itself out in the world. 

There, facing the throne, in the subconscious realm the individual becomes open to the Father. The silver cord begins to have meaning, not just in a physical sense but in a mental sense—with the whole mind; the conscious mind and the subconscious mind—and in the heart. The silver cord begins to have meaning in the whole body, and the will of the Father, under the direction of the Son, by the power of the Holy Ghost, begins to be done on earth as it is in heaven. 

These laws and principles are absolute. It does not make any difference what anyone thinks or does not think, they are absolute, and we either conform to the laws according to the principles that you have been learning for years in the Third Sacred School or else! Except as we allow this to take place while we live on earth, we deny the reason for our living and betray the trust of God. Only as we share the victory through the spirit of the living Christ can our lives have any true meaning on earth. 

It is only when we allow the cycle to complete, so that the Holy Ghost abiding in us permits the will of the Father to be done on earth, under the direction of the Son, through the power of the Holy Ghost, that the silver cord has meaning in all phases of life, and the golden bowl is a reality, and the pitcher at the fountain has meaning, and we have something besides stagnant, putrid water in the cistern of the subconscious mind. The wheel at the cistern is the machinery of thinking. If all it can touch is the stagnant, putrid water of the subconscious mind it cannot produce life in the true sense. Only when the pitcher at the fountain, the inspiration of the spirit direct from the Father, direct to the level of the conscious mind, has a relationship to that which comes up out of the subconscious mind, so that there is a meeting point in the conscious mind, can the inspiration be meaningful. 

In the stillness of the human mind you begin to recognize and realize the meaning of the words, “The Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.” “Be still, and know that I AM God.” In quietness of spirit, abiding centered, we can let the cleansing take place so easily and swiftly. In stillness before the Lord we begin to know Him as He is. God bless you.
