For this Sunday, February 23rd, the focus for our meditation
will be on Curiosity. At age 77,
Eleanor Roosevelt wrote, “Learning and living, they’re really the same thing,
aren’t they? There is no experience from
which you cannot learn something, and the purpose of life, after all, is to
live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without
fear for newer and richer experiences.
You can do that only if you have Curiosity,
an unquenchable spirit of adventure.” It
is the nature of Curiosity to
continually want to expand and to explore the unknown. Rather than being satisfied with the status
quo, Curiosity nudges us to ask what
else is possible, and to be willing to risk failure if we try new avenues. It is essential to the vibrancy of our life
to remain Curious and to never feel
as though we have already learned everything that we need to know. This week in our prayer and meditation let us
consider whether we have sufficient Curiosity,
or have we become complacent with the way things are and forgotten how to seek
new experiences? Let us ask to be shown
new ways to examine life with a spirit of Curiosity
that will open up an endless realm of possibilities for us to pursue.
In our efforts this week let us also continue to use the
energy of our prayers and meditation to amplify the light that covers and fills
this nation. As we perform our
meditation this week let us begin by re-energizing the brilliance and power of
the light we create. Just as before,
begin by forming a concentrated ball of light that is so bright it is almost
impossible to look directly at it. Raise
this sphere of light up high over the nation and then let its rays cascade down
to create a solid, impenetrable dome of light that completely covers every inch
of our country. From shore to shore and
border to border let the entire continent be filled with this brilliant, dense
light that will serve to magnify the best and highest qualities of our country
and the people who live across its vast lands.
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,
and connect to the circle of others participating in this project.
Ask yourself how do I feel when I experience Curiosity about something I would like
to learn more about? How does it feel in
my body when I am willing to let go of the known and allow Curiosity to lead me to explore the unknown? Then send the energy and intention of those
feelings 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.
