Meditation Instructions for Sun., Aug. 8, 2010

For this Sunday, August 8th, the focus for our meditation will be on Humility. When true Humility is present it signifies the acknowledgement that there is something greater than oneself. In the absence of Humility one's actions are driven by ego, and this becomes a common source of discord and unrest. Think about how many wars and other violent acts over the centuries have been motivated by ego. If only those whose actions were prompted by ego could have instead recognized a desire for Humility these conflicts may never have occurred. While some might say Humility reflects how insignificant we are I propose it instead reflects the grandeur of the universe and acknowledges that we are a part of that. Rather than emphasizing worthlessness it fosters a sense that we are actually greater as a consequence of contributing in a small way to the vastness around us. By embracing Humility one's motivations become extended beyond the limitations of our own sphere. We are able instead to embrace and support actions that benefit a larger whole. In our meditation this week we want to ask that a desire for true Humility be encouraged in our own thoughts and actions. At the same time please ask that a desire for more Humility be extended across this nation.

Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered in your body, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us, connect to the circle of others participating in this project, and create the brilliant star-like light over the nation. Extend blue rays from the center of this light to the nation's four borders and then connect to the grid or matrix that extends from the circle.

Ask yourself how does it feel in my body when I am acting with true Humility? How does it feel when I recognize I am part of a greater whole and am able to embrace a sense of Humility as a result? 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.
