For this Sunday, November 20th, the focus
for our meditation will be on Movement. I don’t ordinarily pay much
attention to Hollywood celebrities who feel compelled to spout off about
politics. But I will make an exception
this week to quote someone who has the distinction of being not only a beloved
actor but also an individual who is greatly respected for his character and
integrity. That actor is Tom Hanks. Last week he attended an event to honor his
career and rather than talk about himself he used that time to reassure his
fellow Americans in this post-election frenzy that “we are going to be all
right.” As he put it, “We who are a week
into wondering what the hell just happened will continue to Move forward.
We have to choose to do so, but we will Move forward because if we do
not Move forward what is to be said of us?” It is that spirit of confidence and optimism that
will help us all find a way to remain grounded and centered even when we feel
there is a maelstrom trying to blow us apart.
If we can step back and try to take in the much bigger picture it may
help us regain our perspective. Ultimately,
we will have to Move ahead in our own lives and also on the path set
before this nation. That path is not yet
clear but will be made known as we Move through the mist in trying to
find our way. The key is we can’t allow
ourselves to become stagnant or to give up.
By restoring our desire to Move forward our nation will regain
its hope that the future continues to hold the promise of a better life for
all.
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 realize the
importance of striving to make Forward
progress in my life? How does it feel in my body when I am willing to
keep trying to make Forward movement
even when I am facing headwinds? 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.
