Variation on the Cauldron Exercise

Once you have experienced the Cauldron
Exercise, try this variation.
Contact the wind, feel
the wind flowing in and out of your center, merging with you, then moving out again.
Contact the wood. See
the wood standing in the forest. Feel the wood.
Integrate the wind
and the wood. See the wind moving the wood,
entering the wood and leaving it transformed, absorbing the carbon dioxide and yielding
oxygen.
Contact the water. See
the water moving throughout the wood. Integrate the water, the wood and the wind. See the
green leaves as green flames rising from the wood as the wind and water enters and leaves
their focus.
Contact the green flames,
integrate the green spirit with the water and the wood and the wind. Perceive the wind and
the wood and the water and the green spirit igniting the Earth, rising up into the
sunlight, unfolding.
And in their unfolding, contact the creative formed
within the green flames. See the creative hidden in the flowers. Smell the creative
calling with scents so beautiful and attractive. The creative is the sublime reverence and
perseverance represented by the flower created by the wind and the wood and water and the
green flames.
Contact the flower.
Integrate the flower with the green spirit, the water, the wood, the wind, the sun and the
earth.
Within the flower the flame creates order from chaos in the form of
a sphere, that becomes the seed.
Contact the seed.
Integrate the seed with the moisture, the spirit, the wood, and the wind. The seed
overflows, ordering the chaos of the moisture, the wind and the earth into a fountain of
memories and dreams, the flow of experience, the Way.
Now do it the same way but this time, use
thoughts as the pattern.
