Meditation: Understanding God's Omnisciences through the absence of time

It would be good to read this meditation all the way through and get the idea of the journey within the meditation first. Then based on your understanding of the meditation, do the meditation while you are not reading it.

Take a moment to clear your mind and come to a place of inner silence. Take a few slow breathes and while focusing on your breathe allow yourself to become aware of the presence of God all around you. Feel protection, feel warmth, feel love. Most importantly feel God as YOU know God.

Only be aware of God's presence in everything around you and within you, and do not chase thoughts and ideas concerning the nature of God. At this point you are exploring and welcoming God as you know Him or Her. Be okay with the fact that you do not know the true substance of God's spirit, and simply enjoy your greatest picture and understanding of God.

Now begin to imagine that you know everything about everyone and everything around you. Realize that you suddenly know everything that is going to happen to everyone (including you) until their death and even beyond that. Allow your mind to paint pictures of these things, but do not grasp on to any one picture or thought. You are simply aware of these things, and as the web of understanding builds you are not attached to it.

All the unknown is slowly disappearing as you know where you (and everyone else) will go next and exactly what will happen. If your mind becomes too consumed with the imaginations come back to your breath and your awareness of the presence of God's everlasting warmth and love.

Now begin to see glimpses of an existence that is outside of time as you pretend to be like God - knowing all things. If a being knew everything and everyone at once time would disappear. Contemplate that quietly without adding much meaning or thought. Just know that to know everything is to be free of time and space, just like God.

Use this meditation to connect with the unimaginable existence of God, and then praise this Great God as you enjoy your day now picturing God's brilliance in a new way.
