Meditation 26

Picture mentally the earth lying veiled in the mystic sleep of night. A light diaphanous vapour wraps the wet grass and the silent trees, which seem like intangible brooding shadows. The Silver floating mist, like the aura of a spirit, is all woven through with White Moor Light, and high above the earth in her astral dream, hangs the Indigo sky, jewelled thickly with scintillating stars. No sound disturbs the breathless quietude but the rhythmic falling of dew from unseen leaves. The Cosmic beauty is almost too ethereal for mortal mind, but its balm sheds on the soul a radiant blessing beyond all words.

Realisation. At night the living creature feels itself drawn into the Earth and it sinks down upon it and the force of gravity embraces it mysteriously, the senses close themselves, but the Light that belongs to them remains in the consciousness like a hidden Sun. From within, this -- our own Sun -- shines into the night of the veiled senses, whilst from below the Earth -- the Sun of the Midnight -- exerts its celestial power upon us through the Earth’s body. Just as the human organism during sleep re-establishes and builds up during the night its harmony of forces, so also the Earth-organism re-establishes at night the equilibrium of its cosmic forces upset during the day by the action of the Solar radiation.
