For this Sunday, March 9th, the focus for our meditation will be on
Maturation. There’s a book by author and speaker Marianne Williamson titled, “The Age of Miracles: Embracing the New Midlife,” that presents an alternative view of the aging process we all eventually find ourselves going through. She speaks of altering our perception of being “over the hill” when we reach our midlife or beyond, and to instead recognize that the only “hill” is the one you artificially choose to create. Once we realize
Maturity brings us many advantages rather than serving as a detriment it shifts one’s whole idea about aging. Marianne once stated in an interview, “When you understand the law of divine compensation, you realize that in the presence of spiritual consciousness, there is more than enough compensation for any diminishment in materiality. When you realize that the real breakthroughs come from levels of higher consciousness, then you also realize that the achievement of
Maturity and wisdom is the most powerful generator of new beginnings possible.” Presuming that we seek to learn from our experiences, reaching a certain age provides you with plenty of educational opportunities. Rather than looking ahead to what is left in life with gloom over what some might perceive as a dimming path, perhaps we would be better served to gaze back. Take a long, in-the-rear-view-mirror look at all we have done before and instead appreciate what we have learned, even if that means recognizing the mistakes we now know not to make again! Let the collective wisdom of our accomplishments as well as our screw-ups help bring us the clarity of hindsight that can make it possible for us to reach those higher levels of consciousness. From that vantage point, any diminishing physical characteristics can seem of far lesser importance. This week in our prayer and meditation let us ask whether we are “aging gracefully” and have come to appreciate all the tremendous insights we gain through life experience. Let us also look ahead with eagerness to an age of even greater spiritual growth that can only come with
Maturation.
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 appreciate how the
Maturation process makes me more capable than before? How does it feel in my body when I value the spiritual wisdom that comes with
Maturity in life? 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.
