For this Sunday, November 11th, the focus
for our meditation will be on Value. This past week we observed quite a bit of
variability in the issues that seemed to incite passions around our country. People were first riled up about the run up
to and then results of the mid-term elections.
Tensions were raised when people objected to the way the President
treated a news reporter. Depending on
your perspective, others were incensed at the way reporters posed questions to the
President. And then stuff happens. A gunman opened fire in the midst of a happy gathering
at a bar, instantly snuffing out a dozen lives.
A wildfire roared at the mind-boggling rate of an entire football field each
second, destroying homes, businesses, and leading to more loss of life. In those heart-wrenching tragedies we
sometimes are confronted with split-second decisions as to what matters
most. A brave policeman chose to run
into the hail of gunfire to try and save lives.
Homeowners desperately fleeing the inferno had little time to gather
precious possessions and some had to deal with the anguish of leaving animals
behind. Those who escaped unscathed were
rattled to their core and expressed gratitude for their survival. Those who suffered the loss of loved ones or
homes were left numb at the prospect of how to pick up life again. In either instance those affected by the tragedies
spoke of how they forever altered their appreciation of what mattered most to
them. How do you estimate the Value
of the loss of a human life? In a crisis,
how do you decide what you Value most and can’t live without or are willing
to risk life and limb to preserve? By
the end of the week, the issues that previously seemed so important held little
Value in the new accounting of the grand scheme of things. This week in our meditation time let us send
the light and energy of our prayers to those whose lives were altered by these
horrific tragedies. Let us also use that
time to examine how we place Value on what matters in our own life. Are there people, things or activities that
we believed we could not do without that might not really be worth the Value
we attribute to them? How do the things
we appear to Value in our life reflect what we aim to be as we try to
achieve our Higher Self? Let us ask that
all across this country come to a better appreciation of what really matters and
what is worthy of Value in their estimation of life.
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
appreciate what I truly Value in my
life? How does it feel in my body when I know the things on which I place
Value in my life are really worthy
of it? 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.
