Text of the meditation
Believe that a life of perfect holiness is possible. So believing, so aspiring, so meditating, divinely sweet and beautiful will be your spiritual experiences, and glorious the revelations that will enrapture your inward vision. As you realise the divine Love, the divine Justice, the Perfect Law of Good, or God, great will be your bliss and deep your peace.
Old things will pass away, and all things will become new. The veil of the material universe, so dense and impenetrable to the eye of error, so thin and gauzy to the eye of Truth, will be lifted, and the spiritual universe will be revealed. Time will cease, and you will live only in Eternity.
Change and mortality will no longer cause you anxiety and sorrow, for you will become established in the unchangeable, and will dwell in the very heart of immortality. Whoever believes climbs rapidly the heavenly hills.
