This Outer and Inner Space Meditation nurtures awareness of connection, inter-relationship and oneness. It encourages recognition of the Self in all manifestation. Essential to the meditation is that all be regarded as alive, entified, conscious and aware within its own realm. This can aid in grounding and anchoring a thread of transgalactic energy on Earth and can help us to experience our participation within the web of Life that is Being/Self.
The meditation has a left-brain (Outer Space) version focussing on the Living Now extending out into the cosmos and a right-brain (Inner Space) version focussing on seeing into the Living Now here on Earth.
The left-brain version springs from humanity’s knowledge of the universe via astronomy and the right-brain version emerges from intuitive sensing. Either version of the meditation can be individually focussed upon, or the two versions can be used consecutively or even simultaneously.
To do this meditation one begins with (1) one’s spiritual name of one’s own choice (make one up if necessary); (2) the name of a sacred place one resonates with; (3) a name for our planet (make one up if necessary); (4) a name for our daystar; (5) a name for another star/group of stars in this galaxy; (6) a name for our galaxy; (7) a name for our universe.
A vital aspect of the left-brain version of this meditation is seeing it not as linear but as circular, looping from the individual to the transgalactic and back to the individual human unit who meditates upon the transgalactic.
In the right-brain version the circular quality is expressed by the All-Encompassing Mystery being recognized by the meditator as that from which the meditator is continually emerging.
In the following examples, I use my own name choices. Each persons would be different.
--Left-Brain Version --
(1) Spirit Crow = accepting embodied power and presence as part of the animal realm. This is known as Grounding Consciousness.
(2) Hightop Mountain = acknowledging the cooperative blending and sharing of oneself with the physical geomancy of the locale. This is known as Geomantic Consciousness.
(3) Planet Companion = (Earth) extending participation out into the global realm and its connections. This is known as Planetary Consciousness.
(4) Radiant Giver = (Sun) recognizing participation in the Solar realm as part of the body of the Sun, along with the other planets and all upon and within them, as well as moons, comets and the Oort Cloud. This is known as Solar Consciousness.
(5) Numinous Presence = (Pleiades) acknowledging solar relationships with other stellar beings within group work. This is known as Stellar Consciousness.
(6) Luminous Mystery = (Galaxy) recognizing this galaxy as an entity with connections to other galactic entities in mysterious group work. This is known as Galactic Consciousness.
(7) Deep Mystery (Universe) extending participation to include the vast realm of wheeling galaxies and the mysterious dark matter of the voids between galactic strands, clusters, clumps and bubbles. This is known as Transgalactic or Cosmic Consciousness.
-- Right-Brain Version --
(1) Spirit Crow = my sensitive, energy-attuned self.
(2) Hightop Mountain = the local mineral consciousness with whom I connect and merge.
(3) Planet Companion = the mineral consciousness which remains constant wherever I am. The planet itself as constant friend and companion.
(4) Radiant Giver = the Heart of Beneficent Love, the Solar Being, the One Who Provides Freely.
(5) Numinous Presence = the sense of magic and presence that fills the heart with awe, very personal and immediate. The part of the Mystery that is revealed to me.
(6) Luminous Mystery = the part of the Mystery yet veiled which invites and calls me to approach.
(7) Deep Mystery = the unknown, that which is yet dark and deep, the Void, the invisible matrix of Existence, the SELF. The mystery that escapes/transcends all knowing.
The right-brain version of the Outer and Inner Space Meditation is especially effective if done outside in twilight deepening into night. At this time ones vision is charged with rhodopsin, also known as visual purple, which gives access to etheric realms of energy, often seen as sparkles of light and shifting, moving, glowing currents of subtle substance. Primal animal knowing is closer to the surface at this charged and powerful time and the sense of Presence can be especially vivid. The light sparkles can be seen as Luminous Mystery and the darkness that holds them can be seen as Deep Mystery.
This Outer and Inner Space Meditation can be subjectively transformative, especially if practiced over time. It is a sure cure for provincialism, and is a great mind expanding ‘dance’ that expresses well in Nature.
