For this Sunday, July 19th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Impact. There are times when news headlines can leave
me feeling utterly helpless against the pervasiveness of evil in the world. I’m not quite so pessimistic as to think
things are becoming worse, but I do very much believe that man’s barbarism
against his fellow man has ancient roots.
Those of us who consider ourselves to be “light workers,” seeking to
bring more goodness and light into the world, can begin to question whether we
are having any positive Impact at
all. At such moments I find encouragement
in what has become known in chaos theory as the “butterfly effect.” The concept comes from the understanding that
the tiny perturbations of a butterfly’s wings can set off a cascade of
conditions that subsequently Impact
the weather halfway around the globe. It
is not, however, a simple cause-and-effect theory. The butterfly beating its wings in the Amazon
jungle does not directly lead to a tornado in Texas. Instead, the seemingly trivial movement of
air from the wings of the butterfly becomes just one of a series of events in a
ripple effect that ultimately combine to have a much more consequential Impact elsewhere in the world. I firmly believe the energy of our prayers
can have this same effect, combining with the energy of others praying around
the globe and eventually bringing about positive change. This week in our prayer and meditation time,
as we consider the events across our nation of late, may we seek to send out
more love and light, confident in knowing we are indeed making a positive Impact.
May all those who strive to bring goodness and light into the world
recognize the Impact of their prayers
and actions and feel encouraged in knowing their work ripples far beyond where
they may perceive.
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 am aware of how the energy
of my prayers can Impact others? How does it feel in my body when I know the
prayers and encouragement of others have had a positive Impact on my 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.
