For this Sunday, February 12th, the focus for our meditation will be on Confidentiality. There is something about modern technology that has encouraged the common phenomenon of sharing “too much information” about one’s thoughts and activities, particularly via on-line social networks. Perhaps it is because sitting behind a keyboard prompts a greater sense of anonymity, but people feel compelled to post all sort of information on-line that they would likely never share in person or at least not distribute as broadly as occurs with an on-line forum. Sometimes such failure to be discreet later comes back to haunt an individual. We occasionally hear of someone being considered for employment only to have their prospective employer pass them over after checking out their on-line persona and discovering a lack of decorum that leads to doubts about the individual’s maturity, judgment, level of responsibility, etc. In many instances there is information that is best left as Confidential and not freely shared with others. Popular therapist Martha Beck advocates that not all secrets should be disclosed, even in close relationships, as there are times when our failure to keep something Confidential can result in greater hurt and damage. Going beyond the realm of personal disclosure there was a tradition in ancient mystery schools to purposely cloak the most valuable information and only share it with those who had been properly vetted and prepared to receive such knowledge. Even Jesus was known to deliberately speak in parables to ensure that only those who deserved to have the deeper understanding of his message were the ones who were able to receive it. This week in our meditation let us consider our own sense of discretion and determine whether we have a clear awareness of what needs to remain Confidential in our life and what is appropriate to be revealed to others.
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 there is information I have that is best kept Confidential? What does it feel like when I am able to maintain the Confidentiality of certain information? Then send the energy and intention of that feeling to the nation.
Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.
