🌻. The Cosmic Person within us  🌻

The whole process of manifestation is a grand ritual in which we participate and which we can also realise within ourselves. 

The contemplation upon the all-pervading Cosmic Person leads to the realisation that each one of us is a miniature form of Him; He reveals to us according to our growth of awareness. 

The Masters want to see each of us uplifted to experience the presence of the Cosmic Person within us as our original state of existence. 

He has come forth as our own selves. “God created man in His image and likeness”, says the Bible. He is the original, we are a duplicate. 

However, the duplicate behaves as if it were the original. We believe that God is like us. But the truth is, we are like God. HE existed first.

Since most ancient times there is a meditation on the Cosmic Person in man. For this we can meditate on the electric blue light because blue is the colour of the second ray, the colour of Vishnu. 

His incarnations, like Rama and Krishna, are also meditated in blue colour. The Vedic seers describe blue as the ray of the all-penetrating space from which the seven rays emerge. 

To the human eye the seven rays exist in the white light, but to the spiritual eye they emerge from the blue of Akasha. 

Therefore it is a figurative statement of great importance that the Avatars of Vishnu are blue in colour. In healing, blue can also be used for all purposes.

Another meditation is to visualise the Cosmic Person as a four-armed figure fixed in the cosmos as well as in us on a four-armed cross. 

His existence in our being is called the crucifixion of the Cosmic Person in flesh and blood. Through this sacrifice the formless and nameless God has concretised in us. 

The symbolic representation of the Cosmic Person on the four-armed cross refers to the fourfold nature of the universal wisdom.

We can also see the four-armed cross in the daily life as dawn, noon, dusk and midnight; and in the lunar cycle as new Moon and full Moon as well as the two eighth Moon phases; and in the solar year as the solstices and equinoxes. 

In the bigger cycles of time these are the four Yugas or ages. The fourfold structure of existence is worshipped in the Purusha Sukta of the Vedas. 

It was the dearest of the suktas of Master EK and it is sung regularly by students in the ashrams of the Masters, thereby establishing the Cosmic Person in themselves.
