Maybe you are contemplating a sentence that is short, simple and clear. \u201cI get it,\u201d the mind says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>Well \u2026 that doesn\u2019t mean there isn\u2019t more to be gained through contemplation. Joseph Benner had realization after realization, resulting in a book called \u201cThe Impersonal Life,\u201d through contemplating one short quote continuously. The quote: \u201cBe still and know that I am God.\u201d (Psalm 46:10)<\/p>\n<p>Consider this story on contemplation by William Samuel, written in his book \u201cThe Awareness of Self-Discovery\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce, in China, I was given a simple verse to read and then to give my interpretation. I was ready to give an answer immediately but was informed that I had twenty-eight days to think about it. \u2018Why so long?\u2019 asked I, with the usual impatience of a Westerner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2019Because nothing has been read once until it has been read twelve times,\u2019 was my answer. \u2018Read and reread.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did. Twelve times twelve to make twelve readings \u2026 and I heard a melody I could not have heard otherwise. Since then I have known why it is that certain lines in the Bible (or any other book) that have been read countless times will one day, upon just one more reading, suddenly take on a grand new significance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo reader, with a very gentle touch, read and re-read. If you are earnest, and act with the earnestness you are, one day when you least expect it, you will hear and feel your Heart within complete [the] words without.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The quote William Samuel was asked to contemplate for 28 days was: \u201cThe same moon shines on ten thousand rivers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regina&#8217;s Personal Contemplation of Lesson 115:<\/p>\n<p>Salvation is my only function here. Getting to know my Self is my only function. For what other purpose could I have been born except the purpose of knowing my Self? The gift of life is given so we can celebrate life. The gift of awareness is given so we can love awareness. The gift of spontaneity is given so we can enjoy the miracle of spontaneity. I will embrace this birth by becoming intimately enthralled with my Self. This Regina-suit is the perfect medium for getting to know what I am.<\/p>\n<p>My part is essential to God\u2019s plan for salvation. If the plan is for the whole to be happy and celebrate, how can that be done without me? Can the whole be happy without my happiness? Can the whole celebrate without my celebration? I am integral to this plan. Most importantly, I can only know its gifts through my individual cooperation with it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Contemplate, continued: A common block to receiving wisdom through contemplation is perceiving the text that is being contemplated as straightforward and easy to understand.
