For this coming Sunday, December 28th the focus for our meditation will be on Hope. The new year soon awaits us with so much potential. What will help our country achieve its dreams is to increase the feeling of hope in its residents. President-elect Barack Obama spoke of the importance of hope in a speech on the eve of the New Hampshire Democratic primary: "We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics. They will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We've been asked to pause for a reality check; we've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope." Truly, with hope all things are possible for this great nation.
Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us, connect to the circle of others participating in this project, create the brilliant star-like light over the nation and extend blue rays to its four borders, then connect to the grid or template that extends from the circle. Ask yourself how does my body feel when I am full of Hope and then send the energy and intention of that feeling to the grid for the nation. Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Dec. 21, 2008
For this coming Sunday, December 21st the focus for our meditation will be on Gratitude. There is a particular Rosary meditation I'm fond of (I'm a lapsed Catholic) that sets for the Mystery of Christ's birth a contemplation on "greater detachment from the things of the world." How appropriate for an event that seems to have all too readily morphed into an emphasis on materialism. In the difficult economic times we are currently experiencing this can introduce even more unneeded stress for people. To help improve the health of our nation we're going to try and reduce the stress that tends to wear people down by bringing an increased sense of Gratitude for what we already possess. We have so much to be thankful for as a nation simply by the freedoms we enjoy through birthright. It is a simple gift, yet one you quickly come to appreciate when you travel to other parts of the world where this is not the case.
Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us, connect to the circle of others participating in this project, create the brilliant star-like light over the nation and extend blue rays to its four borders, then connect to the grid or template that extends from the circle. Ask yourself what does Gratitude feel like in my body and then send the energy and intention of that feeling to the grid for the nation. Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Dec. 14, 2008
For this coming Sunday, December 14th the focus for our meditation will be on Stability. Although change can certainly be a good thing, it may seem lately that our nation is going through too many drastic changes at once. The housing crisis, the financial crisis, rising unemployment and many other issues are contributing to people feeling more unsettled than before. President-Elect Barack Obama campaigned on a theme of "change," and while much change is definitely needed to bring the nation back into right order, it will be challenging for the nation to adapt to more change without a sense that it will eventually restore stability. For this Sunday's meditation focus we want to help our nation acquire the confidence that underneath all the change there remains a fundamental Stability. If they can recognize this strong foundation the changes that overlay it will seem less stressful. We are, in essence, helping our nation to become more "grounded" so it may better adapt to the changes that are needed.
Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us, connect to the circle, create the brilliant star-like light over the nation and extend blue rays to its four borders, then connect to the grid or template that extends from the circle. Ask yourself what does it feel like in my body when there is stability around me and then send that energy and intention of Stability to the grid for the nation. Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Dec. 7, 2008
For this coming Sunday, December 7th the focus for our meditation will be on Commitment and Loyalty. In a recent television interview President-Elect Barack Obama stated (and I'm paraphrasing) that at the end of the day he wasn't perfect and would make mistakes, but he hoped the American people would always feel he was doing his best to serve their interests. His statement of imperfection seemed genuine and sincere, and it made me realize how quickly as a nation we will shift or withdraw our loyalty at the first blush of a perceived flaw. Even as individuals it can be difficult for many of us to truly forgive the mistakes of others. In this coming week's meditation I would like to ask that we focus on bringing a stronger sense of Commitment and Loyalty to the American people so they continue to place their energy in support of the President through the next four-plus years. There will be low times ahead when the new administration may be struggling to be effective or may make unpopular decisions. The country will need to remain supportive throughout the entire term for it is truly the only way we can sustain the nation and eventually progress.
Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us, connect to the circle, create the brilliant star-like light over the nation and extend blue rays to its four borders, then connect to the grid or template that extends from the circle and send the energy and intention of Commitment and Loyalty to it.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Nov. 30, 2008
Back in early October we emphasized the need for Wisdom in our weekly meditation focus. I'd like to return to that theme now with the intention of assisting the President-elect in seeking Wise Counsel. The circle of advisors to the President will be instrumental in his ability to meet the challenges before this nation. These individuals will require wisdom and a depth of understanding of extremely complex issues, balance in their viewpoints, honesty and fairness in expressing what may be opposing opinions, and the ability to obtain the nation's trust in supporting their recommendations. This coming Sunday, November 30th, may we join together to ask those spiritual forces aiding us in this endeavor to bring Wisdom to this circle of advisors.
As a reminder, we typically form as a group in our focused meditation every Sunday from 12:15 to 12:30 pm (Eastern time) and return to bring more energy to the same theme throughout the week as time permits. If you are unable to participate at that particular time there are instructions posted on how to energetically contribute at either an earlier or later time (please see "Instructions for Meditating at Alternate Dates or Times" posted on August 21, 2008).
I'll also repeat the detailed instructions periodically on how we join as a group. It's been some time since they have been posted, so I'll repeat them here now as a refresher:
A few minutes before 12:15 you may want to get into your meditation posture and begin the relaxation phase.
Stage 1:
Sit (or lay down) so that you are relaxed and comfortable but your spine is straight and aligned over your pelvis (if seated).
Begin by taking several slow, deep breaths.
Follow the sensation of the breath down into your body.
Breathe into your spine, your hips, and then your legs.
Feel the breath reach your feet on the floor and then feel the connection through your feet to the earth’s energy.
Draw the earth’s energy up through your feet into your body.
Feel your body fill completely with this energy from your breath and the earth.
Invite your own personal spiritual guides to join you in the meditation.
Ask for those in the spiritual realm (especially the nation's Founding Fathers) who want to assist us in this project to be present.
If you have trouble feeling centered and fully in your body or feeling grounded to the earth ask Guidance to help you.
Stage 2:
Stay relaxed and begin to make a connection with the others in the group by perceiving that we are present in the same room and formed in a circle.
Feel yourself make contact with the person on each side of you in the circle by taking their hand – one to the right and one to the left. Feel the energy of the group grow as you make this connection.
Recognize there are groups all over who are doing similar activities with the same intention. We are connected to them as well as to each other.
Feel the grid or network that is created from this energetic connection. We receive energy from it as we feed energy to it.
Stage 3:
Place a brilliant white light over the center of the country.
Extend blue rays out from the center of that light in the four directions (north, south, east, and west).
The blue rays fill the country from border to border and sea to sea.
Connect to the energetic grid or network created across the circle. Use that grid to direct energy to the manitou of the nation [See Meditation Instructions for Sun., Sept. 7, 2008 for explanation] with the intent of successfully seeking Wise Counsel for our new administration.
The way to do this is to perceive in your body what Wisdom or having access to Wise Counsel feels like. How does the quality of Wisdom feel in your body? Hold that feeling and allow it to intensify as you feed that energy to the grid or network with each breath.
Stage 4:
Close by disconnecting from the group circle.
Feel as though you release the hand of the person next to you and feel yourself break from the group.
Stage 5:
Thank your guidance and those in the spiritual realm for coming to assist you in this endeavor. Ask them to continue this work from their plane on your behalf throughout the week.
If you are able, you may want to repeat this process throughout the week, focusing on bringing light and energy to the meditation topic. When you do, connect to the same network or grid of energy created by the group at the original meditation session. Direct your intention to help support and grow that group energy. Be sure to disconnect from the group at the end.
Remember to report your experiences (if you choose) by e-mail, blog comment, or leave a short voice-mail message at my home office number (see General Instructions dated Thurs., Aug. 21, 2008 for more detail).

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Nov. 23, 2008
For this coming Sunday, November 23rd the focus for our meditation will be on Hope. Lately it seems that the media only wants to talk about the latest crisis, financial or otherwise, and to perpetuate in the nation's consciousness a "doom and gloom" mentality. We can counterbalance this negative tendency by working to infuse a sense of optimism and hope in our populace. Yes, our new administration will have significant challenges before them, but if the nation comes together and puts their energy into believing our newly elected officials can effect improvements they have a much better chance of doing so.
Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us, connect to the circle, create the brilliant star-like light over the nation and extend blue rays to its four borders, then connect to the grid or template that extends from the circle and send the energy and intention of Hope to it.
Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Nov. 16, 2008
The focus for this Sunday's meditation is to ask for Acceptance. For those citizens whose candidate was not selected we want to assist them in reaching a position of fairness and neutrality in how they direct their energy for our new President. They may never be converted to become effusive proponents, but at a minimum we want to reduce or eliminate the negativity and bitterness they may feel. No matter where you stood on this election I'm sure everyone can recall a time when their choice was not selected. Remember how that felt and try to appreciate in our most recent election that for 46% of voters, or over 58 million people, their candidate was not chosen. We can use our prayer and meditation efforts to help begin to heal any discord from this result. One of the most critical forces that will enable our newly-elected President and other officials to effectively carry out their duties is to have the collective energy of the nation supporting them. We can help to "move that needle" more into the neutral or even positive zone through our efforts.
Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us, connect to the circle, create the brilliant star-like light over the nation and extend blue rays to its four borders, then connect to the grid or template that extends from the circle and send the energy and intention of Acceptance to it.

Meditation Project, Phase II
My deepest thanks to everyone for all you have done to contribute to the success of this project focused on the election process! There certainly was no question about the outcome being clear and without controversy. Yes, there were still occasional instances of dirty campaign tricks along the way, but the final result showed the ability to rise above that.
Now we enter into the second phase of this project with the intention of assisting our elected officials to meet the challenges before them. There is much this nation needs to do, and we can continue to offer assistance by serving as vehicles for the spiritual forces that govern our nation to effect their desires here on earth. Several times during meditation in the first phase of this project I perceived images of our serving as tent pegs or grounding rods planted in the earth that helped to anchor the energetic influences at work on our behalf. I don't fully understand why such a partnership is needed, but it is clear we are being called to serve as intermediaries with those who want to help, and our efforts are a necessary part of putting that into realization.
In the second phase our focus will move to bringing the qualities necessary for our government officials and the populace to help this country move forward and heal. We all know there are tremendous hurdles ahead, but I retain a firm optimism that we can help to ease the path for our nation through our prayers and meditation.
As we move ahead I welcome your input on the issues you believe we need to address, and as always, I would love to receive any feedback regarding your meditation experiences. The reported convergence of perceptions and input received by participants helps to further validate and direct our efforts. If you would like to submit suggestions for our meditation or provide feedback, please feel free to e-mail me at k_miritello@bellsouth.net or kmiritello@gmail.com (I've discontinued use of the excite.com address).

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Nov. 2, 2008
The focus for this Sunday's meditation is to ask for a Clear and Definitive Outcome in next Tuesday's election. We have seen the discord created with past election results that were contested and filled with confusion and distrust. This time we need to bring all our meditative powers to bear that the election process, a keystone of our democracy, be run smoothly and efficiently. Remember this must remain a non-partisan effort. It is not up to us to determine who wins. We are asking simply that the outcome be so clear that immediately following the election we can begin to focus on healing the nation.
Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us, connect to the circle, create the brilliant star-like light over the nation and extend blue rays to its four borders, then connect to the grid or template that extends from the circle and send the energy and intention of a Clear and Definitive Election Outcome to it.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Oct. 26, 2008
The focus for this Sunday's meditation (and the following week) is Responsibility. To be responsible implies being accountable for one's actions, to accept and live up to one's obligations, or to be reliable and trustworthy. Recent events in the global financial world have emphasized the need for greater corporate responsibility. Nations and organizations often embrace a sense of social responsibility that acknowledges the needs of others. We need our candidates to recognize the importance of responsible conduct in their words and actions as we near Election Day and especially after they accept their office. Additionally, each individual citizen needs to understand and appreciate the responsibility and obligation they have to cast their vote in a thoughtful manner.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Oct. 19, 2008
The focus for this Sunday's meditation (and the following week) is Unity. Lately it seems media reports and campaign ads try to focus on the polarization this nation has experienced in the past several years. In meeting the global challenges ahead we must heal this divisiveness and come together as a nation. To do this our political leaders will need to be capable of generating a sense of inclusiveness and unity. This week in our meditation we will ask that our elected officials be assisted in their ability and desire to achieve Unity for the nation.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Oct. 12, 2008
The focus for tomorrow's meditation (and during the week) is Balance. Our candidates will need balance in their views and opinions in order to best serve the majority of the populace. Balance is needed in order for someone to stay on the right path and not stray from it. Being balanced requires one to consider alternate (and perhaps disparate) viewpoints. Finally, our nation's events in recent weeks speak to a need to return to more balance in our fiscal behavior and policies at many levels (individual, corporate, and govermental). Let us ask to infuse a greater sense of Balance for our nation and its candidates in our meditation this week.
Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us, connect to the circle, create the brilliant star-like light over the nation and extend blue rays to its four borders, then connect to the grid or template that extends from the circle and send the energy and intention of Balance to it.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Oct. 5, 2008
This week we will embed a desire for Wisdom into our meditation practice on behalf of all candidates for public office. The challenges facing these candidates are great, and they will require all of the qualities we have focused on thus far along with the ability to attain a thorough understanding of the key issues.
I've alluded before to the assistance of others in this project and firmly believe the founding fathers of our country are included in that realm of beings. When I think of the written works they produced as this country was formed for me those documents reflect tremendous insight and wisdom. May we seek through this project to help bring those same qualities to all individuals running for public office.
Please follow the same procedures noted in the previous postings. If you have experiences in the meditation you would like to share but are not comfortable doing so via a more public blog comment addition you can always contact me via telephone (828-670-7690) or private e-mail (k_miritello@bellsouth.net or kmiritello@gmail.com).

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Sept. 28, 2008
For this coming Sunday (and the following week) our focus will be on the quality of Discernment. Please ask that the voting public be granted with a keener sense of discernment to see through the rhetoric and distortions of political messages and better recognize where the kernels of truth are present.
A few minutes before 12:15 you may want to get into your meditation posture and begin the relaxation phase.
Stage 1:
Sit (or lay down) so that you are relaxed and comfortable but your spine is straight and aligned over your pelvis (if seated).
Begin by taking several slow, deep breaths.
Follow the sensation of the breath down into your body.
Breathe into your spine, your hips, and then your legs.
Feel the breath reach your feet on the floor and then feel the connection through your feet to the earth’s energy.
Draw the earth’s energy up through your feet into your body.
Feel your body fill completely with this energy from your breath and the earth.
Invite your own personal spiritual guides to join you in the meditation.
Ask for those in the spiritual realm who want to assist us in this project to be present.
If you have trouble feeling centered and fully in your body or feeling grounded to the earth ask Guidance to help you.
Stage 2:
Stay relaxed and begin to make a connection with the others in the group by perceiving that we are present in the same room and formed in a circle.
Feel yourself make contact with the person on each side of you in the circle by taking their hand – one to the right and one to the left. Feel the energy of the group grow as you make this connection.
Recognize there are groups all over who are doing similar activities with the same intention. We are connected to them as well as to each other.
Feel the grid or network that is created from this energetic connection. We receive energy from it as we feed energy to it.
Stage 3:
Place a brilliant white light over the entire country.
Extend blue rays out from the center of that light in the four directions (north, south, east, and west).
The blue rays fill the country from border to border and sea to sea.
Connect to the energetic grid or network created across the circle. Use that grid to direct energy to the manitou of the nation [See Meditation Instructions for Sun., Sept. 7, 2008 for explanation] with the intent of enhancing its quality of Discernment.
The way to do this is to perceive in your body what Discernment feels like. How does your body feel when you are able to accurately discern truth from untruth? Hold that feeling and allow it to intensify as you feed that energy to the grid or network with each breath.
Stage 4:
Close by disconnecting from the group circle.
Feel as though you release the hand of the person next to you and feel yourself break from the group.
Stage 5:
Thank your guidance and those in the spiritual realm for coming to assist you in this endeavor. Ask them to continue this work from their plane on your behalf throughout the week.
If you are able, you may want to repeat this process throughout the week, focusing on bringing light and energy to the meditation topic. When you do, connect to the same network or grid of energy created by the group at the original meditation session. Direct your intention to help support and grow that group energy. Be sure to disconnect from the group at the end.
Remember to report your experiences (if you choose) by e-mail, blog comment, or leave a short voice-mail message at my home office number (see General Instructions dated Thurs., Aug. 21, 2008 for more detail).
A few minutes before 12:15 you may want to get into your meditation posture and begin the relaxation phase.
Stage 1:
Sit (or lay down) so that you are relaxed and comfortable but your spine is straight and aligned over your pelvis (if seated).
Begin by taking several slow, deep breaths.
Follow the sensation of the breath down into your body.
Breathe into your spine, your hips, and then your legs.
Feel the breath reach your feet on the floor and then feel the connection through your feet to the earth’s energy.
Draw the earth’s energy up through your feet into your body.
Feel your body fill completely with this energy from your breath and the earth.
Invite your own personal spiritual guides to join you in the meditation.
Ask for those in the spiritual realm who want to assist us in this project to be present.
If you have trouble feeling centered and fully in your body or feeling grounded to the earth ask Guidance to help you.
Stage 2:
Stay relaxed and begin to make a connection with the others in the group by perceiving that we are present in the same room and formed in a circle.
Feel yourself make contact with the person on each side of you in the circle by taking their hand – one to the right and one to the left. Feel the energy of the group grow as you make this connection.
Recognize there are groups all over who are doing similar activities with the same intention. We are connected to them as well as to each other.
Feel the grid or network that is created from this energetic connection. We receive energy from it as we feed energy to it.
Stage 3:
Place a brilliant white light over the entire country.
Extend blue rays out from the center of that light in the four directions (north, south, east, and west).

Meditation Instructions for Sun., Sept. 7, 2008
A number of people who contacted me this past week spoke of feeling pulled toward New Orleans during their Sunday meditation time. I do believe its “intrusion” into our meditation focus was purposeful. That part of the country needed our assistance, and I feel that our efforts were connected to many other groups praying and meditating for the region’s protection. Hurricane Gustav was threatening the region but thankfully downgraded in intensity before landfall. Perhaps our efforts helped that outcome.
For me, the lesson reinforces the sense of “surrender” that became present during my meditation times. Despite our mental desire to focus on St. Paul (or any other conscious intent during these meditation periods), we must realize it is not up to us to decide what direction things should take. Instead, we are simply contributing our energy to help manifest here on earth the desires of the spiritual realm. Dion Fortune writes, “Bring through spiritual force and leave it to that force to work its own way.”
There are also reports of feeling a grid or network of energy that extends across the group circle. A dear friend and mentor sent me an image she had on her computer – it beautifully captures this experience, and I’ve added it to the bottom of the blog (scroll down all the way to see it). It represents the “etheric matrix.” The energy healers in the group are familiar with this structure as an energetic template or blueprint for the body’s cells during development.
One of my teachers, Rosalyn Bruyere, speaks of a different energetic structure known as the “manitou.” This represents the collective energy of a group or organization and is created from the energy of those who make up the group. It reflects their beliefs, values, and goals in forming the group. Just as groups or organizations have a manitou, so does a nation. One of the objectives of this meditation project is to help our nation return to its core values – the integrity and ethics represented by its founders. I believe this grid or network we perceive may be the manitou of the nation and affords us an opportunity to help heal this country just as an energy healer taps into the etheric matrix to heal a physical body.
For this coming Sunday (and week) our focus then will be to help heal our nation by restoring its spirit of Integrity.
Please follow the same five stages as before. Be sure to invite your own spiritual guides and those spiritual forces who want to assist us in this effort to be present.
In Stage 3 you are to create the brilliant white light in the center of the group’s circle and place it over the entire country. Extend blue rays out from the center of that light in the four directions (north, south, east, and west). The blue rays fill the country from border to border and sea to sea. Connect to the energetic grid or network created across the circle. Use that grid to direct energy to the manatu of the nation with the intent of restoring its spirit of Integrity.
At the conclusion of each session be sure to disconnect by dropping the hands of those next to you in the circle. Always thank your guidance and those in the spiritual realm for coming to assist you in this endeavor, and ask them to continue this work from their plane on your behalf throughout the week.
If you are able, you may want to repeat this process throughout the week, focusing on bringing light and energy to the meditation topic. When you do, connect to the same network or grid of energy created by the group at the original meditation session. Direct your intention to help support and grow that group energy.

When you do, connect to the same network or grid of energy created by the group at the original meditation session. Direct your intention to help support and grow that group energy. Be sure to disconnect from the group at the end.
Remember to report your experiences (if you choose) by e-mail, blog comment, or leave a short voice-mail message at my home office number.
A few minutes before 12:15 you may want to get into your meditation posture and begin the relaxation phase.
Stage 1:
Sit (or lay down) so that you are relaxed and comfortable but your spine is straight and aligned over your pelvis (if seated).
Begin by taking several slow, deep breaths.
Follow the sensation of the breath down into your body.
Breathe into your spine, your hips, and then your legs.
Feel the breath reach your feet on the floor and then feel the connection through your feet to the earth’s energy.
Draw the earth’s energy up through your feet into your body.
Feel your body fill completely with this energy from your breath and the earth.
Invite your own personal spiritual guides to join you in the meditation.
Ask for those in the spiritual realm who want to assist us in this project to be present.
If you have trouble feeling centered and fully in your body or feeling grounded to the earth ask Guidance to help you.
Stage 2:
Stay relaxed and begin to make a connection with the others in the group by perceiving that we are present in the same room and formed in a circle.
Feel yourself make contact with the person on each side of you in the circle by taking their hand – one to the right and one to the left.
Feel the energy of the group grow as you make this connection.
Recognize there are groups all over who are doing similar activities with the same intention. We are connected to them as well as to each other.
A grid or network is created from this energetic connection. We receive energy from it as we feed energy to it.
Stage 3:
Place a brilliant white light over the city of Denver, Colorado.
It is an intense bright light, like the sun.
Extend blue rays out from the center of that light in the four directions (north, south, east, and west).
Allow the blue rays to fill the entire city.
Stage 4:
Close by disconnecting from the group circle. Feel as though you release the hand of the person next to you and feel yourself break from the group.
Stage 5:

Instructions for Meditating at Alternate Dates or Times
If you are unable to join the group at the designated time (12:15 to 12:30 Eastern time on Sundays) you may still contribute to the group activity.
Choose a date and time that allows you to perform the meditation and follow the specific instructions noted for that week's effort.
Specifically direct your focus to join with the group either forward or backward in time.
Use your conscious intention and ask that your energy join that of the group.
In essence, you are creating an “energy hologram” of yourself.
Just as with the group meditation it is important to follow the instructions on disconnecting from this activity when you are done.

General Instructions
The meditation will be conducted from 12:15 to 12:30 pm (Eastern) each Sunday. Even if you cannot commit to do this every week you are welcome to participate whenever you can. For those who are unable to join us during the group meditation time slot feel free to contribute your energy through the instructions noted in the post, "Instructions for Meditating at Alternate Dates or Times."
This group meditation affords an opportunity to strengthen our connection to the spiritual realm. Participants may find they receive information, sensations, or images during the meditation sessions. My expectation is the same information may be received by multiple participants, and I would be very interested in hearing of your experiences. This is not mandatory to participate in the group meditation, but if you would like to report your perceptions you may do so through one of the following means:
1. Click on the underlined title of a post (e.g., "Specific Instructions for Sun., August 24, 2008") from the blog's main page. Then click on “Post a Comment” at the end of the blog post (anonymous comments are allowed).
2. Send an e-mail to me at k_miritello@bellsouth.net or kmiritello@gmail.com
As noted in my introductory e-mail, this is a non-partisan effort and is not about supporting or opposing any particular candidate, political party or platform. We are instead trying to help our nation return to those values on which it was founded -- integrity, honesty, ethical conduct, wisdom, enlightened decision-making, and a spirit of altruism that places the needs of the nation and constituents above self-interests. In performing this group meditation I believe the right candidates will be elected into office with the qualities this country needs. Meditation can have a powerful impact on the world and the people in it. Through this work we can help those in positions of responsibility develop the attributes necessary to conscientiously discharge their elected duties.

Project Background
This project was inspired by the work of Dion Fortune, founder of the Society of the Inner Light in England. During World War II she led a group of individuals in a technique she referred to as "mind working," a structured meditation activity that involved a concerted effort to help "maintain the strength and resilience ... of the nation."
At the time her work was controversial, for she made the decision to open this activity up to others not initiated into her society. Seldom before had a "secret" society allowed non-initiates to learn their esoteric principles and methods. But she recognized the gravity of the situation facing her country and knew it would take such an effort to marshal the assistance it needed.
Dion Fortune believed the key to the group's success involved the opening of "a channel of communication between the physical plane and the inner planes." In other words, they effected a conduit, a means of realizing here on earth the spiritual influences that invisibly govern our world. In this project we will be doing the same. We hope to bring to bear on our nation the spiritual forces allied with the principles and values on which we believe this country was founded.
For those who want to learn more about Dion Fortune's work, it is described in a book titled, "The Magical Battle of Britain." Unfortunately, it is no longer in print, but I will be posting relevant excerpts from the book as the project goes on.
