For this Sunday, July 21st, the focus for
our meditation will be on Purpose. American author and humorist Mark
Twain once wrote, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are
born and the day you find out why.” It
reminds me of another popular expression which is to live life fully “between
the dashes,” i.e., what you do with the time you are given as reflected in the
dates on your gravestone. We come into
each incarnation with a specific Purpose often made evident through the challenges we
face in life. Each trial and obstacle
represent an opportunity to learn something new or perhaps to navigate our way
through a problem in a better way than how we may have handled it in the
past. Sometimes part of our Purpose is to assist others with whom we have a karmic connection. We come together in different lifetimes to
help each other along the path. Our Purpose in being here isn’t for our own enjoyment or the accumulation of
material things. It is to continue our evolutionary
journey across lifetimes and with each successive turn at bat, so to speak, to overcome
the hurdles we failed to clear previously.
This week in our prayer and meditation time let us consider all the
different reasons why we chose to incarnate in this lifetime. Let us ask to be guided in identifying the Purpose(s) we are challenged to master and also how to receive assistance from the
divine and our karmic companions to help us progress.
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 appreciate
that some of my challenges are present to help me identify my Purpose in
life? How does it feel in my body when I am able to make progress against
a Purpose I am given in this lifetime? 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.
