For this Sunday, March 20th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Potential. I recently heard a talk by a special
education teacher in which he explained that if he were to teach his students
to the level at which they and others believe they can function that would be
all they would achieve. Instead, he
purposely teaches them to a level just beyond that, and although it often
requires immense patience, time and again the students exceed expectations and
demonstrate a previously untapped Potential
to acquire new skills. This holds true
for all of us. If we set boundaries for
ourselves in terms of what we think we can achieve or how well we can perform,
it is highly unlikely we will go beyond that.
The key to recognizing our own greater Potential is to think creatively.
What if I could perform that task even better than I ever have
before? What if I were to find myself
without limitations – how might that alter the results of what I am trying to achieve? This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us consider if we are artificially placing limits on ourselves that if
removed gave us the freedom to reach an even greater Potential in our life. Let
us also ask what do we see in terms of the future for our country as a global
power with the ability to represent all the best we can offer and what changes
do we need to make across this land to help us reach that greater Potential?
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 what do I feel in my body when I find I am able
to exceed expectations and reach a new Potential? How does it feel in my body when I realize I
have the greater Potential to
achieve more than I ever have before?
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.

I believe many people who come here know of the power of consciousness. There is more than enough scientific proof and many of us have had their personal experience that consciousness is superior to matter. So,why not do something revolutionary and organize meditation groups with the clear intent to project love and compassion towards the most innocent and defenseless of all but also towards those responsible for all the turmoil, who have shut off their hearts from the pain they inflict.
I know that directed intention works, I know that it works even better when it is raised from an altered state of mind such as meditation and the intention is for the benefit of others. Political and violent approaches to fundamental change will not work. It is man´s evolutionary destination to to master his supra-physical powers. Let´s become love warriors of consciousness. Time is running out...
