A walk through the Golden City

**[Step 1.]** **[The Gates of Light]** I approach the gates, Of purest pearl aglow— Into my Golden City, Without a word, I go. Inhale—I step onto the street Of transparent, gleaming gold. Exhale—I realize, All that I hold is here. It shines in the radiance of glory, Here dwells the Lord. Here peace, like a river, Flows from the throne outpoured, And my heart, with love, Sings praise to its Lord! --- **[Step 2.]** **[Streets — Rivers of Energy]** Streets of living gold— Channels of life made clear, Streams of my vital essence, Streams of my prana here. My path is unique, My bright drachma* of light I bear— The way that leads to the Temple, **I Am**—right there. This path is made of gold, It suffers no deceit. A path where intentions are noble, And thoughts are pure and sweet. A path where within me shines Holy beauty complete. *[*drachma — a biblical coin, symbolizing something precious and uniquely yours]* --- **[Step 3.]** **[The Center of Consciousness]** I stand at the center of consciousness— The axis of my heart. In the blaze of glory, The Lord shines here, apart. Here my ego meets With my Higher Self, divine. This is the altar, The place of His presence, sign. This is the place Where my mind falls still, And a sacrifice of praise Is offered to the Creator's will. Holy of Holies, Bright point of my deepest core— Center of my world, And my divine silence evermore. --- **[Step 4.]** **[The Temple — The Lord Himself]** There is no temple here, For the Lord Almighty is my shrine! My Temple and my Lamb, divine! And in the very heart, At the throne of light, Where there is neither winter nor night— The River of Life flows endlessly. A river like crystal, Like glass, like a tear, It quenches every thirst, It is the pure Spirit here, And it is my guard. The Tree of Life Grows upon its shore, Twelve fruits it bears, Each in its season, evermore. Its leaves are for healing— For me they are spread, And by them I shall be nourished. Tasting those fruits, And drinking that water bright— I shall become transparent, Like the Holy City of Light. --- **[Step 5.]** Nourished by this, I step forth into the glow, I no longer walk— I soar, I float, I flow. The entire city now— Is none other than me, Within me, God's glory, Love, and majesty. I step, and my footprint— Is not a trace, but a ray, It pierces through time, And is present everyway. The gates always welcome me in, To this world so bright, I am this City, God's Kingdom is my inner light! --- **[Affirmation]** **[aloud, with hand on the heart]** **"I am the Golden City!** **And the Lord is my light!** **There is no darkness in me,** **And no darkness in my sight.** **Peace flows through me like a river!** **In it I abide.** **And the world receives You,** **Through me, knowing You inside!** **"I am the Golden City!** **And the Lord is my light!** **There is no darkness in me,** **And no darkness in my sight.** **Peace flows through me like a river!** **In it I abide.** **And the world receives You,** **Through me, knowing You inside!** **And knowing myself!** **Knowing myself!"**
