For this Sunday, April 17th, the focus for our
meditation will be on Trust. People’s lack of confidence in our government
and our nation’s future appears to be at an all-time high. This pessimism is especially endemic among
young people who believe the future offers little in the way of hope or
opportunity for improvement. Few would dispute
that we are in troubling times, and there is much that needs to be done to fix
some of the ills we see across the country in daily headlines. However, when we allow Distrust to fill our core it can too easily lead to apathy and
indifference. Why should we bother to
try and make a difference for the better if a downhill slide is inevitable? I don’t understand all the reasons why the
younger generation in particular feels so skeptical of the future, nor do I
know what the right solution may be. But
whenever circumstances seem dire and hopeless the one refuge we all have access
to is prayer. This week in our prayer
and meditation time let us ask that all those who lack confidence in our nation
and their own future be filled with Trust
that things will eventually work out.
May they come to see a broader outlook across the ages that helps put today’s
challenges in perspective, and may they reconnect with a sense of Trust that encourages them never to
give up hope for the future.
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 am filled with
a sense of Trust that challenges can
be overcome? How does it feel in my body
when I am consumed with Trust that
enables me to take action rather than succumb to passive apathy? 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.
