For this Sunday, October 4th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Signals. I know several people for whom the appearance
of a particular bird, animal or insect following the loss of a loved one is
interpreted as a reassuring Signal
that the individual who has passed is happy or content with where they are. Other friends attribute great significance to
seeing the digital clock display of 11:11 which regularly gets their notice and
holds a particular meaning as a Sign
or Signal in their life. What is the purpose of such Signals? They are to get our attention, to make sure
we don’t miss or overlook something important.
Sometimes they help us piece together the synchronicities that occur
around us and recognize the connection between this moment and another in terms
of importance. They serve to remind us
of our close association with God and our spiritual helpers and to get us to
pause from the daily rush to acknowledge their presence in our life. They are like the attention-getting ding of a
smartphone as a text message comes in, telling us to break momentarily from
what we are doing and connect with another being. Haven’t we all had those times when, facing a
particularly difficult decision or choice, something seemingly innocuous appeared
in our environment that served not just as an alerting Signal but also a beacon that helped direct us in the right
direction? This week in our prayer and
meditation time let us consider those instances when Signals have appeared at just the right moment when we needed them
most. Let us ask to be gently shown how
to become more aware of the presence of such Signals and to grow our appreciation for their significance in our
life.
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 have recognized the presence
of a Signal in my life that helped
bring my focus to something important I might have otherwise overlooked? How does it feel in my body when I appreciate
the significance of Signals in my
life that help me acknowledge the palpable presence of Spirit in 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.
