Clear Light Prayer - with altarspaces of readers

How to Do a Reading (The Short Form)

This simplified method can be used with the "Obligatory Readers Prayer", and "Confronting the Clear Light". These are an excellent place to start your reading even before you obtain a copy of the American Book of the Dead.

The short form version of performing a reading: Say aloud: "I wish for this effort to be used for the benefit of all beings everywhere." Light the reading candle. (if possible) Ring the bell three times. Call forth (three times) the name of the one(s) you are reading for. "This reading is addressed to the being of _____" Examples: "This reading is addressed to the being of John Smith" "This reading is addressed to the beings of all those who died in the Twin Towers" "This reading is addressed to the beings of all firemen lost in the Twin Towers" "This reading is addressed to the beings of those lost on Flight 93" "This reading is addressed to the beings of those rescue workers serving in New York" etc. Read (once only) the "Obligatory Readers Prayer" Read (three or seven times) "Confronting the Clear Light" Declare: "This completes the reading of 'Confronting the Clear Light' addressed to the being(s) of ______" (same as above) Ring the bell three times. Snuff the candle.

"Obligatory Reader's Invocation" To the divine silence of unreachable endlessness; To the divine silence of perfected knowledge; To the divine silence of the soundless voice; To the divine silence of the Heart of the Labyrinth; To the divine silence of the ancient mind; To the divine silence of the unborn guide; To the divine silence of the unseen guide, protector of all sentient life; To the divine silence of those of perfected knowledge; To the divine silence of human primate incarnation; To the divine silence of the labyrinth guides who sacrifice their liberation for those who have not yet awakened to the truth; To the divine silence of the Lord of Death, the eternal unborn resident of the labyrinth who has sacrificed his own redemption for the redemption of all voyagers everywhere; To the divine silence of the primordial being; To the divine silence of the great sacrifice; We offer homage, love and hope; But above all, we give our gratitude.

"Confronting the Clear Light"

Now I am experiencing the Clear Light of objective reality. Nothing is happening, nothing ever has happened or ever will happen. My present sense of self, the voyager, is in reality the void itself, having no qualities or characteristics. I remember myself as the voyager, whose deepest nature is the Clear Light itself; I am one; there is no other. I am the voidness of the void, the eternal unborn, the uncreated, neither real nor unreal. All that I have been conscious of is my own play of consciousness, a dance of light, the swirling patterns of light in infinite extension, endless endlessness, the Absolute beyond change, existence, reality. I, the voyager, am inseparable from the Clear Light; I cannot be born, die, exist, or change. I know now that this is my true nature.

Awesome video! Really helpful. I actually got an idea of how else I can work with an altar. The one that is erected on a coffer and then it is placed, when not in use, safely within it spoke to me. Many others did too. The reading . . . singing! . . . itself is wonderfully penetrating. Thank you!
