When You Meditate You Are “Building The House Of The Lord”

 In the biblical passage 1 Kings 6:7, we read, "And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building." 

This verse tells us about the construction of Solomon's Temple, emphasizing that the stones used were prepared off-site to ensure that the temple was built in silence. This detail is more than an interesting historical note; it holds deep spiritual significance.

The Temple of the Lord, while a physical structure in ancient Israel, symbolizes a deeper spiritual truth. Just as the temple was constructed without the noise of tools, the true House of the Lord is built in the silence of meditation. Our minds, in stillness, become the sacred space where we encounter the divine.

In our noisy, fast-paced world, silence is rare and precious. It is in moments of quiet contemplation that we can connect with our inner selves and the divine presence. Meditation becomes the process of preparing the "stones" (stillness) of our thoughts and emotions, smoothing them out and fitting them together into a harmonious whole.

Meditation invites us to turn inward, to a place where no external influence is needed. It is a practice of inner silence, of finding peace amid the chaos. It is the process of allowing God to program your mind, not television or the internet. By building the House of the Lord in the silence within our minds, we cultivate a space where we can experience clarity, peace, and divine connection. At sunrise God’s angels (angles of light called photons) will speak with you through your DNA.

The verse from 1 Kings teaches us that the most profound spiritual work is often done in silence while meditating. The external noise of daily life can drown out the subtle voice of the divine, but in meditation, we create a quiet sanctuary within ourselves. Here, we can hear the whispers of wisdom, experience deep peace, and build a strong spiritual foundation.

Thus, the House of the Lord, as described in 1 Kings 6:7, serves as a powerful metaphor for the inner temple we build through meditation. It reminds us that the most sacred work is done not with external tools but with the inner quietness of our minds and hearts. In this silence, we find the true presence of the divine.
