For this Sunday, July 17th, the focus for our meditation will be on Cooperation. We visited this theme back in February 2009, and it once again is asking for our attention. At some point the current wrangling over the budget will come to an end, some sort of agreement will be cobbled together, but then other issues loom ahead that are likely to continue to provoke partisan discord. I don't pretend to begin to understand the difficulty in reaching a balanced budget and have to blithely admit I like to imagine it could be accomplished the way it was in the Kevin Kline movie, "Dave." Kevin's character is a presidential lookalike who ends up filling in when the real president suddenly dies. His character's naivete leads him to believe there has to be a way to reach a balanced budget, so one evening he and his buddy, Murray (played by Charles Grodin), sit down and figure out a solution on pages of legal pads. I'd like to believe all that is needed is to similarly order in pizza for a long night session and bring the right people to the table who are sincerely interested in accomplishing this goal, but I know that is not the case. What is needed, however, is a spirit of Cooperation, and right now that seems to be lacking in our political leaders on both sides of the aisle. This week in our prayer and meditation let us ask that our elected officials be filled with a willingness to Cooperate for the greater good of their constituents and this nation. May the spirit of Cooperation fill their offices and help advance the important work they are there to accomplish on behalf of us all.
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 willing to Cooperate selflessly with others? What does it feel like when I am experiencing the spirit of Cooperation from others that helps us all to succeed? 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.
