Pathlight Meditation Reflections
September 2024

Live, be lively
It will enhance our well-being if from time to time we stop and be amazed at the wonder that is around us. Notice the stars and planets, the clouds, the power and the beauty of nature. See the harmony and balance of the living things around us. Work towards being in amazement on the complexity of our body - it works in spite of our lack of care. Smile, laugh, allow the energy of Joyfulness to flow into every cell, every system and be amazed.

Exciting Times
Meditation often appears to be very personal and separate from what is going around us, particularly so with so much agitation globally. The old image of the eagle parents stirring the nest so the fledglings would be forced to the edge and then fly – hopefully! The relative calm we have experienced for some years is over. Humanity is being challenged to change, to wake up and look around - It must be better than this!

​Power of Light/Love
Many communities are seeking a better way. Cultures and traditions have focussed too long on difference. Difference generates judgement, “I am right therefore you are wrong’ with dire consequences. In turn this generates the energy of scarcity that increases the divide between the ‘have and have nots’. But behind human consciousness there is a kernel of love. It can emerge from time to time and we may find it in ourselves as love in action or kindness. It is also the energy behind compassion. There is another way to see this.

We are not helpless
Consider sending your light to those whose light has been dimmed by life’s experiences. We all have that ‘light’ within us. If we draw that light/love into ourselves, ‘brighten up a bit’ then send it as a thought, share it with the “light” of the other, their light may shine more brightly and be a guide and an enabler for them. If they can help themselves from their refreshed inner resource so much the better, they will not become more and more dependent.

Step Back
In most situations it is more beneficial to step back when we want to help than for us becoming enmeshed in the other’s story, which we do not fully know, where we lose energy, our light dims and we lose clarity.
It brings us to the uncomfortable understanding that what we do to the other we do to ourselves. This has been the message of innumerable masters of the past and has been shared but not incorporated in most if not all traditions. Evolution is ‘standing on the shoulders of those wise ones of the past’.
​
Paths to a better way
There are many paths on the mountain in company or alone. What is becoming important is that we collaborate. That is seeing that we differ in the expression of the concepts but appreciate that each is working with a different stream, tradition of humanity.
Such change cannot be fast. It is a gradual process because few people will be able to adjust easily, especially those who have been “throwing rocks” at each other for centuries. Also it is very challenging, if a tradition has made its people feel unworthy, for them to be able to turn around and know they are worthy. Change must first be a personal internal change.
Of course there are some going back down the mountain, disillusioned, because change is not quick enough and they want action, often without perception. But that is what it is to be human.
I am reminded of the image of the Phoenix rising from the ashes. I don’t take it that far, but humanity is heading in that direction. But in the turbulence we experience there is an energy for change. The key to that change is within the individual.
All the bricks in the wall will slowly shift towards collaboration, love and kindness. then there will be a shift and earth planet will be a great place to be.
