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.
