"A Tiny Ripple of Hope"

"Few will have the greatness to bend history, but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and then the total -- all of these acts -- will be written in the history of this generation...It is from numberless diverse acts of courage such as these that the belief that human history is thus shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

The above quote was from Robert F. Kennedy's Day of Affirmation Address at the University of Capetown, South Africa on June 6, 1966.

Meditation Instructions for Sun., April 17, 2011

For this Sunday, April 17th, the focus for our meditation will be on Manifestation. Several years ago a very popular book and movie were released called, "The Secret." They advocated an age-old metaphysical principal that one's thoughts can impact and subsequently alter the world around you. Being a "What the Bleep?" fan I was eager to see the film, hoping it might contain the same level of thought-provoking wisdom and profundity. Instead, I was disappointed. From my perspective the film seemed heavily weighted toward the Manifestation of material goods and wealth. While I have no aversion to prosperity it seems to me that one's ability to Manifest things in the universe should extend far beyond the accumulation of mere material possessions. How then should we use our ability for Manifestation? That is a question each of us needs to ponder individually, and I would ask that in our prayer and meditation this week we spend time considering what we want to Manifest in our lives and what does it reflect about our priorities and character?

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 aware of my ability to Manifest change around me? What does it feel like when I am able to Manifest something that reflects my greater purpose in this life? Then send the energy and intention of that feeling to the grid for the nation and the world. Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.
