For this Sunday, May 1st, the focus for our meditation will be on Divides. Have you ever known a family where some members refused to communicate with certain relatives because of a past dispute? Sometimes it was a perceived slight that wasn’t actually intended or even a truly trivial incident. These Divides are created and often remain in place until both parties eventually pass on. I have to wonder if in the afterlife when they meet again, they both realize how foolish it was for them to allow something like that to separate them. Worse yet, I believe that when we allow Divisions to exist between us and others it impedes our ability to feel close to God. How can we fully embrace God in our life if we insist certain people be excluded whom he accepts and loves unconditionally? Such constraints only serve to hamper our own ability to appreciate that God accepts all of us as we are, warts and all. There is already so much Division in the world that this month in our prayer and meditation time let us ponder how we might repair some of the chasms that exist in our personal life. Let us ask for Divine guidance in how to bridge the gaps that separate us and in the process of healing those broken relationships let us also heal the brokenness in our relationship with God.
In our efforts this month 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 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 been able to repair a Divide that existed between myself and another person? How does it feel in my body when I desire not Division but closeness with others in my life? 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.
