Reflection after Meditation for the Current State of Affairs

What do we do now?
I have been asked that question a lot in the last month.
I have been telling people not to let fear take over or be their motivation for what to do.
The important thing is to respond instead of react.
This is our course of action for whatever happens,
            whether we judge what has happened as favorable or disaster.
Respond instead of react.

But also first we must understand and see clearly
            that we do not have within ourselves or in any resource derived from the world
            to do the work it will take for what we want to engage or change.
The sufficient knowledge we seek for an outcome that benefits all
            will come only through spiritual awakening.
If we can be a faith community in which this knowledge is born,
            we will then know how to serve awakening in mind, body and spirit.
Then effective action in serving others will follow.
It really is best not to go running off into action until spiritual awakening and knowledge has come to birth in you.
This birthing is not impossible, nor is it even difficult.
Meditate.
Sit in silence with the simple universal intercession of the Prayer of the Lamb
            until you can acknowledge what has been given you –
                        the inner spiritual healing,
                        the presence of Jesus which is the guiding and empowering factor

                                    for what the world needs.
