At-one With the New World Civilization

Another gust whistled through our grapefruit tree. With a snap, a yellow-green fruit fell and thudded to the ground. The wind paused, and the specs of ash – spent gray-white embers – became visible again.

Over a hundred homes had burned since yesterday, west and east of us, and more were burning now. Their burning cast the day in apocalyptic-orange, the color of destruction, of endings, of preludes to forced beginnings.

It seemed appropriate.

One of my favorite things to do is to sit beneath the trees in our front yard (sheltered from casual sight by a screen of bushes and flowers) and read, listen to children play, and meditate. But today the wind and smoke made reading difficult, and the children were indoors – sheltered behind air filtration systems.

That left meditation.

I took a shallow breath, and focused in the heart center…

When everything is quiet and still, align upward from the heart, through the crown center, with the idea of the New World Civilization. (pause)

Recognize that coming civilization as the vehicle through which humanity will achieve the next step in the evolution of its consciousness, and at one with the idea. (pause)

Remaining at-one with the idea, return your awareness to the heart center. (pause)

As the idea of the New World Civilization, in the heart center, at-one with humanity. (pause)

Stand in the heart center, as humanity at-one with the New World Civilization, and surrounded by the fires of change. (very long pause)

Audibly sound the OM.

Slowly relax the attention and return to your normal focus.
