6 Divine Names

Recitations and movements

The next step to take is to go further in learning the paths. This is through practices of recitation and breath. Here we find the phrases that re-present or convey the Divine, or One-That-Exists beyond form and is also form through each of the paths. You will need to feel your way through the recitations and attune yourself as highly as you are able to That Truth, That Which is Real, The Only, through each form of sound and motion.

Here you start with sung or spoken word(s). Then you internalize these sounds so they are spoken/sounded inwardly, without verbalization. Then you move toward breath, so you feel the word/sound and function connecting and acting. Finally you move toward function only on the breath. Here you become.

If you pay attention to your consciousness and attributes of the focus you are using, you should feel, understand, and sense the qualities of the path upon which you focus and its relation,in function, to The All, The One. You may also begin, or go further and more deeply, to experience the universality from which it came and to which it points. Here you will be able to discern The Way and how it shows itself through each particular path.

The practice is to take one path and spend a few days, more or less, on the recitation of the name or phrase associated with it. You attuning more each time you do. Perhaps 15 to 30 minutes once per day will be enough. If you are guided to do more, this is up to you and your intuition. Then upon completing a focus of one path you move on to the next for a few days, and so forth until you have finished them all. How do you know if you have finished working at this level with a particular recitation and path? You feel it. You get a real sense and knowing of what it is and its connection to The Real.

After you have finished working with each of the paths for a few day, take a week and go through each in turn for one day. You should now be getting an even stronger and cleared perception of the qualities and distinctions of each way.
