Transcript of this section of Maneck's lecture:
And those of you who are in this sitting science of understanding metaphysics, and tranquility, meditation tranquility, when you go to sleep and invite God into your room and into your chamber, and into your mind and heart, then you can be and you will be able to draw from the heavenly akashic records anything and everything that you are looking after and searching. The library of God is so filled with knowledge that you can be in touch with it and draw from it anything and everything that you are seeking.
Now the night is not a minute of going to sleep. You go to sleep, that’s necessary, that’s part of the function. But according to me, when you are going to sleep, you are actually starting a new day, because you get the vision of the new day, about the new week, about the coming events. And therefore, be prepared to be receptive to God’s enlightenment into the entrance of the new dawn and the new day. And so I bless you and be happy and be relaxed and get the most and the greatest advantage out of your dreams, out of your sleep. It’s not falling down on hay and sleep, that when I, once I touch my bed I do not know nothing. On the contrary, when you go to bed and when you touch your mattress, the whole realm of the cosmic knowledge, abundance, reaches of ten thousand years of the past, and even of the future, opens up to you.
So, entertain and anticipate the joy of going to sleep. My greatest real fun in my life and real joy of my life is the anticipation that I have of now I go to sleep, and I will sleep in the lap of my God, and there will be the fountain of knowledge and youth and vibrancy and health and soothing atmosphere and magnetism, and I’ll be a new person again for my people and friends to be helped.
So relax. And seek and walk the path of the divine creator who is in your company, ever accompanying you, always with you in your heart and spirit and soul surrounding you. Walk with him lightly, cheerfully, and in anticipation seek the rewards of your soul, they are waiting for you.
Om Om Tata Sata Om, Shanti. Thank you.
