"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth".

"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth".

Approached from a theological or literal perspective, this

Beatitude would no doubt suggest that "meek", in other words timid,

passive, submissive people will somehow gain control over our

planet at the expense of those who typically seek power and control

- of which there are of course many. And of course this would not,

understandably make sense to most, after all, how can such timid

people with no ambition or drive take over the World?

The true, inner meaning of this Beatitude is of course very

different indeed.

"Earth" does not mean the planet Earth, but rather our whole outer

physical experience. To "inherit the earth" therefore means to gain

complete mastery over our entire physical experience, therefore

representing one of the most important cornerstones of why we are

here on Earth in the first place.

More specifically,"earth" represents causation, outer manifestation

as a causal effect of mental processes. As we know, the most

fundamental and primary Principle of the Universe is Mind which

influences the Energy of which all in creation is constituted.

According to the theological interpretations of the church, "meek",

in this context means, and I quote:

"The meek are happy. The meek are those who quietly submit to God;

who can bear insult; are silent, or return a soft answer; who, in

their patience, keep possession of their own souls, when they can

scarcely keep possession of anything else. These meek ones are

happy, even in this world".

The word "meek" however, as used in the context of this Beatitude

means something completely different, as taught by Jesus.

"Meek" is actually used to represent a mental attitude - a state of

Mind. The word "meek" may not be the best, and was probably not the

correct translation from the original Ancient Greek text, but the

truth is there is no other word that can adequately express the

true meaning in context.

The word "meek" represents a specific state of Mind consistent with

attracting and experiencing great Abundance and experiential joy

and health - this is why the "meek" "inherit the earth" - not the

"Earth". "Inherit" may also be replaced with the more modern and

better understood word "attract", most popularly recognised in the

context of The Law of Attraction.

So meekness is a mental attitude or state of Mind that is devoid of

Ego and all material desires, consistent with the expression of

Abundance, Health and Perfection from within, which is subsequently

expressed and experienced without.

Meekness also implies a willingness to allow Divine Providence,

Universal Mind, God to express into physical manifestation by the

most direct, perfect and appropriate means that are totally

harmonious, and not in accordance with the demands and expectations

of individual Ego or out of greed and/or materialism.

One major reason for failure with the Law of Attraction is due to

the fact that the Ego of a person will, when attempting to use The

Law of Attraction, dwell on where the wishes will materialise from

thereby imposing the same limitations on God, Source, Divine

Providence and also failing to recognise and realise our true

Source of power - Source, God, Universal Life Energy within.

So in conclusion, the inner meaning of:

"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth" is this:

Those who understand the true mental nature of the Universe, and

can associate with the Universe with the correct "meek" state of

Mind, shall easily manifest, i.e. "inherit" i.e attract Abundance,

Health, Happiness and attract all they consciously wish for in to

material, experiential expression, i.e. the "earth" - not the Earth.
