For this Sunday, June 12th, the focus for our meditation
will be on Possibility. One of my favorite bumper sticker sayings is,
“Let me be the person my dog thinks I am.”
The suggestion is that our view of ourselves is far more critical or
negative than how we are perceived by those (particularly our pets) who
recognize what we are capable of becoming.
From their perspective we already have fulfilled that Possibility whereas from our perspective
we continually fall short. Even people
you would think feel totally successful and who have achieved all that is Possible often see themselves
differently. A famous quote by the revered
actor Cary Grant was, “Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant.” It was as though he saw himself as an
imposter who could never live up to how others viewed him. While we may not achieve all that we want in
life, if we aim for what we think may be Possible
it allows us to reach far beyond what we might otherwise attain and is merely
probable. It is easy to become
complacent and remain satisfied with where we are presently on our path. But if we hold an image before us of what
could be Possible we are more likely
to find that we eventually progress far beyond that. The key is to never feel so discouraged that
we lose sight of what truly is Possible
for us to realize. This week in our
prayer and meditation time let us consider how our goals or objectives might
change if we were willing to reach for what is Possible rather than settle for what has already been. Let us ask to be helped to broaden our
self-view and see a clearer vision of what may be Possible that ultimately draws us to that higher level.
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 willing to
reach for what is Possible for me to
achieve rather than settle for what is probable? How does it feel in my body when I allow
myself to hold a higher Possibility
of what I can become? 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.
