Secret place - entering in to receive revelations

04/29/2022

Jesus said, ‘When you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in the secret place.’ How should we understand this secret place of which Jesus speaks? When disciples have achieved inner silence and peace, when they feel the need to express their love for the Lord and to be in communion with Him, they are already in their secret place. You may wonder where this secret place is – it may be in the heart, it may be in the mind or in the soul… In reality, it is a state of consciousness to which people strive to elevate themselves. For example, you are meditating on truths that you cannot grasp and then after a while, you suddenly understand. What has happened? Where does this understanding come from? Your spirit already possessed it but it was in a place that your consciousness had not yet managed to reach. So that is the meaning of Jesus’ words: through prayer and meditation, people must enter their secret place so as to receive revelations.
