For this Sunday, May 22nd, the focus for our
meditation will be on Uncertainty. Many
of us spend so much effort in our life seeking certainty, but it is often a
waste of time and energy. We cling to
always wanting to know what to expect, to feel in charge, but we are fooling
ourselves if we believe even for a moment that we are total masters of our own
destiny. One of the things life excels
at is to present us with the unknown, to give us challenges, and to push us,
often reluctantly, into a place of Uncertainty
where we may feel disoriented and not in control. While we are not masters of our own fate,
neither are we entirely at the whim of random chance events. There is a middle ground, where we have free
will to exercise options, but we are required to learn that these choices must
often be made in the absence of all the information we might want in order to
make an “informed” decision. We are only
informed to the extent that we need to be, and must learn how to gain comfort
with discomfort and how to feel knowledgeable in the absence of all the
information. When we realize Uncertainty is a regular occurrence in
life and can even serve a beneficial purpose, it can help us let go of the need
to be more in control. When I am in
control I like to delude myself into thinking I can see the right path to
follow, even though I likely don’t have all the information I need to make the
best choice. When I become at ease with Uncertainty I am more willing to accept
that what I know is imperfect and incomplete and to instead give over more
trust to the spiritual world to offer guidance as to what is best for me to
do. This week in our prayer and
meditation time let us consider ways that we may have an opportunity to learn
how to become more accepting of Uncertainty. Let us ask to be shown how to operate with
faith and confidence in the face of the unknown and allow Uncertainty to gently prod us into accepting more spiritual
assistance 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 what do I feel in my body when I am able to
find comfort in the face of Uncertainty
in my life? How does it feel in my body
when I become more reliant on spiritual guidance in moments of Uncertainty rather than my own imperfect
knowing? 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.
