For this Sunday, September 23rd, the focus
for our meditation will be on Humility. I enjoy reading biographies of accomplished
individuals. I think a part of me believes
by reading about their life I can unconsciously embed in myself the secret to
what made them successful. Interestingly,
a desire to be seen as successful is probably one of the least important
attributes. Over and over again these
accounts describe how very accomplished people seldom recognize their own
greatness. Instead, they frequently feel
as though they fall short of their own or other’s expectations. Many don’t see themselves as anyone special
or different, and often they are much more critical of their own flaws than
those who know them well. It may be
their Humble nature that makes them continue to strive to excel in life
rather than rest on their laurels. So
many of our society’s problems seem motivated by ego and false pride. People are overly sensitive to any perceived
slight and the pressure of our modern world causes them to erupt in anger and hatred. If only more people had a greater sense of Humility
perhaps we would not experience the frequent violence that plagues our culture. This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us ask that people adopt more Humility instead of inflating their
ego which ultimately fails to bring any sense of genuine satisfaction. Let us
ask that a wave of Humility sweep across this nation and help us all
become better citizens as a result.
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 a sense
of genuine Humility in how I conduct
myself? How does it feel in my body when I am able to let go of ego and
allow myself to be truly Humble in
my dealings with the world? 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.
