Love. Peace. Harmony. Joy.

This morning, my meditation transcended a moment in time when people around the world were focused on one thought, one event, one idea:

Together As One

We see the urgent need for a better world order
And, in concert with our subjective Group
We willingly stand in service
of humanity and the Christ impulse

In an email I received from the leader of the meditation group I participate in, Del Bryant wrote: "Today is The Festival of Wesak or -- the Festival of the Buddha, the spiritual intermediary between the highest spiritual centre, Shamballa, and the Hierarchy. The Buddha is the expression of the wisdom of God, the embodiment of light and the indicator of divine purpose. This Festival is fixed annually in relation to the full moon of May; it is the great Eastern Festival.

The Forces of Enlightenment are active at the time of the Wesak Festival. These Forces emanate from the heart of God; they are related to divine understanding and can reach and strengthen those who love and serve their fellow men. This energy transmits the second principle of divinity, love-wisdom, of which the Buddha and the Christ are the two outstanding expression. The forces of enlightenment initiate the new world education.

The first to be affected by them are the great educational movements, the forums of the people in all lands and the values which can unfold through mass communications media. The press, publishers of world literature, speakers, writers, radio commentators, newspaper men and social workers are all affected by these forces which stream into the minds of men. Their effects are not yet apparent to any degree, but these movements and people are the recipients today of the energies of enlightenment; as they recognize the new emerging ideas they can channel and direct energy to influence the masses of men everywhere."

As I grounded myself in my meditation practice and opened my heart in Love, I was one of millions of people around the globe doing the very same thing in that very same moment. As I embraced the light I was connected to thousands of people who were gathered beneath the light of the full moon, in a high Himalayan valley pass,at the southern end of a narrow oblong shaped valley. At the moment of the full moon, which here in Calgary was 6:20a.m. MST, they celebrated the Festival of the Buddha when the light of enlightenment passed through the Christ body out into the world. They do it every year as they have done every year for centuries.

It is a mystical, mythical, magical moment filled with the Divine grace of enlightenment.

There was a power to my meditation this morning. An energy that is not always there when I meditate alone. My thoughts were focused on connecting to this greater 'source', this bigger than me world of Enlightenment, of light, of peace seeking, of peace embracing.

It was an awe-inspired moment. A Divine infused time. It was a moment of being One in Love. Peace. Harmony and Joy.

I invite everyone to spend a moment, or several, throughout the day. In your minds eye, be the peace you seek. Be the light you wish to become. Be the embodiment of the Christ impulse. Be the spirit of the Divine. Let these words wash through you as you send them out into the universe in waves of love:

“Love Brings Peace and Harmony and a Better World Order.”

And remember, throughout the day, there is power in our thoughts. There is power in our prayers. Pray today for Peace and Harmony and a better world order. Let Love be your guide.

We are One. We are all connected. We are all Love.
