For this Sunday, July 24th, the focus for our meditation
will again be on Light. As we began to do last week we will focus the
Light and energy of our prayers and
meditation on the upcoming election. This
year’s election will require a great deal of our attention in order to manifest
the qualities that will make possible whatever outcome is in the nation’s
highest good. If, indeed, our aim is to
serve our nation’s highest good we must engage in this prayer and meditation
work with as much neutrality as possible.
While as individual citizens we certainly will have to make our choices
in order to ultimately cast our ballot, in our prayer work we are asked to lift
up our intentions in a more selfless manner.
Rather than focus our prayers on the goal of assisting any specific
candidate to attain elected office, our petitions are better directed at
bringing as much Light as possible
to bear on the process. By using Light to foster greater integrity,
honesty, and ethics in our political system we all will be best served in the
end. Last week we sent Light to the city of Cleveland where
the Republican National Convention was held, and this week we want to shift our
focus to send the Light and energy
of our prayers and meditation to the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where the
Democratic National Convention will be held from this Monday, July 25th
through Thursday, July 28th.
May this Light fill the
entire city to keep it safe and to serve as a calm and thoughtful venue as
delegates make their decisions. May all
who attend be protected, and may they be consumed with the desire to best serve
those they represent.
In our efforts this week let us 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 nation 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.
In addition, let us create a sphere of Light centered over the city of Philadelphia. Rather than focus just on the particular
convention hall let us fill the entire city with Light as there will be many meetings and discussions held
throughout the week. Once we have lifted
up our ball of Light and used it to
create a Light-filled dome over the
city let us also add to that Light
the energy of honesty, integrity and ethics.
Let all of Philadelphia, known as the City of Brotherly Love, be filled
with the energy that makes for honest and polite discourse, behavior that is of
the utmost integrity, and a desire for ethical decision-making. Let the Light
that rains down on this venue elevate all thoughts, speech, and action that
occur there so that they may be for the highest good of all.
Ask yourself how do I feel when I am bathed in a brilliant,
liquid Light that feels so dense
that I am completely saturated by it?
How does it feel in my body when I am surrounded by a dome of Light that fills all the space around
me? How do I feel when I know I am
acting with honesty, integrity and ethics?
What does it feel like when I recognize people around me are behaving
with honest, integrity, and ethics in how they conduct themselves with
others? Then send the energy and
intention of those feelings to the nation and to the city of Philadelphia.
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.
Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express
thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.
