For this Sunday, July 23rd, the focus for
our meditation will be on Adaptability.
Growing up I lived a life of
regular routine. I never found it boring
or dull but instead enjoyed the comfort of feeling settled in a predictable pattern. I could have very easily persisted in that
comfortable predictability my entire life, and as a result may never have moved
beyond a small geographic circumference of where I was raised. Instead, a career choice led me to a series
of positions that required a significant amount of travel, both domestic and
international. I grew to become
comfortable in discomfort and the disorientation of foreign environments. There is no doubt that these experiences
helped me become much more Adaptable than I would have ever been
otherwise. The funny thing is that while
some people consider themselves flexible, the real need for Adaptability
is never thrust upon them as they pass through their fairly regular schedule of
activities. It is only when the jarring
reality of change is forced on us that we must learn how to Adapt. The same may be true for our nation. If we think back to the original formation of
our country those same set of laws and regulations could never have helped us
manage our transformation into the modern age without some Adaptability. The prescience of our forefathers to
accommodate change through constitutional amendments built in the Adaptability
we needed to evolve as a nation. This
week in our prayer and meditation time let us consider whether we might benefit
as individuals by allowing greater Adaptability into our life
routine. Also, let us ask whether our
nation could be assisted in its progression by Adapting to needed change
that could move us forward rather than hold us back.
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 be Adaptable to change that brings a
positive benefit? How does it feel in my body when I am willing to
accommodate disruptions in my routine and thus exercise my Adaptability? 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.
