The Inner Temple Traditions
InnerConvocation Series
from R J Stewart
Meditation/ Spiritual Form (2)
This Form is a refinement and update of the
basic method of moving into the Timeless Convocation and Inner
Temples. The basics were first published in Living Magical
Arts (1987) and Advanced Magical Arts (1988).
Variations are found in my later books, such as The Miracle
Tree: Demystifying Qabalah (2003).
I have been teaching this Form, and the related
Inner Temple Traditions InnerConvocation series, since 1989
in both Britain and the USA. Many groups use an earlier version
of these visionary meditations or Forms. The technique itself
is ancient, as it describes a real place and condition of
consciousness, and has its parallels in many traditions worldwide.
In keeping with the aim of the two original books, this is
a modern version, developed from experience and from inner
contacts to be rapidly effective. Five to ten minutes of this
Form each day will make profound changes to your awareness.

Inner Temple Traditions InnerConvocation:
Meditation/Spiritual Form (2)
Be still, stilling your sense of time, space,
and movement. (light a candle)
Let your awareness rest upon the candle flame,
and know that this terrestrial fire of earth and moon is at
one with the celestial fire of sun and stars. Feel your own
flame of being within, resonate with the candle flame. The
flame expands and grows and becomes a pillar of light, extending
to the heights above and to the depths below.
With this awareness, pass through into the
Timeless Convocation, a perpetual communion of many beings
at the threshold of the void, where the flame of being becomes
a pillar of light extending through the universe. Be still
here, and rest in communion with the spiritual presence of
this timeless place, known through the ages to all that seek
spiritual communion and enlightenment.
Now be aware again of the room or place around
you, above, below, and within. Know that this too, is the
Pillar of Light and the Timeless Convocation. Let your sense
of the regenerative power of the convocation flow out to the
outer world.
Now return to your outer awareness, and go
in peace. (gently put the candle out, or leave it to burn
safely on your altar)
