A Mormon Kabbalistic Rosary Meditation?

(A Guided Journey Along the Strait Path)

 

Notes:

• There is a more printable PDF version of this in this Lesson’s “Attached Documents” section.
• For each “bead” there is an underlined word (or words) is the mental meaning of that bead. As you grasp each bead, connect your mind with that particular word or idea before you recite the words of the meditation for that bead.
• In each section, the bolded words are intended to be used as an “abbreviated version”, you can skip the rest as you get to know the basic structure of the meditation, and add the details as you study the passages that bring clarity to those details.

 

Section 1: Before the Formation (the Beginning)

[ The Tree ]

O Ahyeh Asher Ahyeh, Creator of all things from the Beginning,

[ Both* large: 1, 5 ]

Who, in Knowledge and Wisdom organized:

[ 2 ]

The elohim

[ 3 ]

And the Heavens

[ 4 ]

And the Earth

* In order to assign meaning to the two large beads at the same time, even though they are not sequential, I actually cradle one of them on my pointer finger and the other on my ring finger, with the other three beads resting between them held up by my middle finger. Then I use my thumb as I move between them. Sorry if its awkward, but Knowledge and Wisdom are “equals” so it wont do to make one of them a big bead and the other small. Also, the image of having their children emerge out of the area between them is meaningful, so … I decided to run with it.

[ 1 ]

Clothed in glory from your Crown even to your feet.

[ 2, 3 ]

And whose Kingdom is Not of this World,

 

Section 4: The Torah as the Seed of the New Creation

[ The Large Bead ]

O YHVH, I pray thee, plant thy Torah as a seed within my heart
that it might grow as a tree within me, even a new creation

[ 1 ]

Even as in the beginning, the Creator contemplated this, the creation  before the days in which she was organized.

[ 2 ]

When only darkness was seen on the surface of the waters.

[ 3 ]

And the depths of the endless abyss were yet unseen.

[ 4 ]

Then, on the first day, the Creator…
divided the light from the darkness,
And the darkness of evening was pierced by the light of the morning;

[ 5 ]

And, on the second day, the Creator…
placed the firmament as a veil between the heavens and the earth,
separating the waters Below from the waters Above.

[ 6 ]

And, on the third day, the Creator…
gathered the waters of mercy together,
and caused the dry land to appear,
and when the Heavens wept the Earth was made fertile.

[ 7 ]

And, on the fourth day, the Creator…
birthed the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars
to give light to the Earth,
and wrote the Torah upon the sky
that the will of Ha’Elohim might be known.

[ 8 ]

And, on the fifth day, the Creator…
formed the fish of the sea (our desires for mercy)
and the fowl of the air (or desires for knowledge and wisdom).
That the fowl might feed in the waters and fly unto the heavens.

[ 9 ]

And, on the sixth day, the Creator…
Created animals upon the land,
And breathed into mankind the breath of life,
that we might bestow and receive all of the things of YHVH Alohykm.

[ 10 ]

And, on the seventh day, the Creator…
rested.
For the creation had been completed.

Section 6: Understanding the Mysteries

O that I might receive Understanding
That thy Torah might uncover her mysteries before me

[ 1 ]

Even the Mystery of the Perfect Love
The Love of the Creator for the Creation

[ 2 ]

The Mystery of the Knowledge of the Creator and the Creation
For to know the Creator is to Love the Creator
And to Love the Creator is to Love the Creation

Hear O Israel, YHVH is our Elohim; YHVH is Unity

Therefore, whence we know good from evil, let us choose to do good.

and shall overcome all things
and shall rise above all things
having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father

“All that YHVH has spoken, we will do!”

[ 10 ]

The Mystery of the Keys of the Kingdom
Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in the heavens
Whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in the heavens

 

Section 7: Being One in the Oneness of God (the End)

[ The Triangle ]

That I too may be one
in the Unity of the Divine Family

[ Large 1 ]

For this reason, we call Ha’Elohim the “One God”:
one in essence, yet many in aspect;
or many in being, yet one in priesthood;

[ 2 ]

The highest being two:
both male and female,
thus being four,

[ 3 ]

And again seen as five
as their unity is one,
the fifth being Keter.

[ 4 ]

In this trinity is hidden
the Knowledge and Wisdom of the whole world,

[ Large 5 ]

And through the Mercy and Justice of Alohykm shall we gain understanding,
and by understanding, a glimpse of the Crown of Elohim.

[ The Tree ]

For, to this End, was I born, and for this cause came I into creation.
