For this Sunday, November 13th, the focus
for our meditation will be on Healing. In November 1932, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt won the national election to become the 32nd President of
the United States. The victory over his
opponent, Herbert Hoover, was resounding, with FDR carrying 42 out of the then
48 states, taking the popular vote with 22,821,277 to Hoover’s 15,761,254 and
carrying the Electoral College by a landslide of 472 electoral votes to Hoover’s
59. By contrast, the incredibly close
margins of our most recent election only speak to the widespread division
within this country. In 1932 people had
plenty of reason to be discontent for the nation was in the midst of the Great
Depression. Our nation certainly does
not appear to be in such dire straits as it faced all those decades ago. And yet there are many today who obviously feel
angry and disenfranchised. I firmly
believe our nation is resilient and strong enough to overcome any of the
obstacles in our path. We managed to
survive a four-year civil war that set family members, neighbors and friends
against each other and resulted in the total loss of human life far greater
than all other U.S. wars combined. We
pulled ourselves out of the depression. This
country survived a devastating terrorist attack on American soil that forever
altered our society. We are capable today
of Healing the divisions that plague our nation along the lines of race,
gender, ethnicity, age, sexual preference, socioeconomic status, and so
on. But, we can only bring about this Healing
if we are willing to accept our differences and set them aside in order to work
together. For our nation to overcome the
tremendous adversity we now face we must sincerely desire to end the fracturing
discord by asking that this country be fully Healed. This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us ask that Divine intervention assist this country to find a way toward Healing
its ills. Through the energy and power
of our prayer may we seek to promote genuine Healing that unifies this
nation and allows us to mend the schisms that would otherwise diminish our
strength and resolve.
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 have
experienced the miracle of true and complete Healing? How does it feel in my body when I am aware of how Healing can mend all wounds? 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.
