Be the Change You Wish To See in the World

Many people have commented about how relieved they will be once the elections are finally over. Personal choices or preferences no longer are private and sacred, rather something that is worn on the sleeve (or vehicle, or front lawn for that matter), ready to be pulled out and used as a measuring stick to judge “who's right, who's more superior, who's more religious,” and most of all “who's wrong.”

Are the types of unloving behaviors we see during election time really necessary? Do they improve the way we relate to others or do they offer up a catalyst for further individualization and separation of “us” vs. “them”, a justified vehicle or reason to create and disperse negative energies into society and to turn on each other? Aren't we doing nothing more than arguing with each other about whether or not “chocolate” or “vanilla” is the best ice cream flavor available?

As students of Pranic Healing and as Arhatic Yogis, we are empowered to use the Teachings given to us by our Beloved and Respected Teacher GrandMaster Choa Kok Sui to neutralize and heal the impact that the negative energies have created for our country and the ripple effect it has caused on the rest of the world. These practices can be continued well after the elections to continue neutralizing the energies that were created. What are two of the most effective ways in which we can be of service and put the Teachings into practice?

Greater Soul Mastery
Just because others are emotionally reacting does not mean that we have to do so as well. We can monitor and manage our words, our thoughts, our actions to align with that which we wish everyone could choose to be. “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”--Mahatma Ghandi. What would our country look like if we imagined the highest thought, the grandest desire one could possibly have of heaven on earth and then led through this by example? Is it not our responsibility as spiritual students to use our lives as the instruments to enact change, to strive for greater soul mastery so we can be the change to which Mahatma Ghandi refers?

Purification and Blessings
For ourselves. For our country. For the Earth. Why is purification so important? “Like” energies attract each other while “unlike” energies repel. It is first necessary to purify ourselves – to gently and mercifully cleanse, clear and release the negative energies we carry within us, consciously or unconsciously, so we don't attract the negative energy being generated around us. Through purification, we create an open space to receiving the Blessings from the Supreme God and Divine Universe.

How often have you made your way down the road, spotted a bumper sticker, lawn sign, or other political paraphernalia advocating yes/no, this person/that person, and thought or said out loud, “What a xyz, they must be so...closed-minded, ignorant, intolerant, totally uneducated, liberal, the root of all that is wrong with our society, etc., if they think that is the right way to vote on this particular topic.” It may be just an uttered phrase in passing or an internal thought, but that action creates energy, it creates a thought form that you carry within you or put out there. Working to purify these human impulses we have to react and create these energies helps us stay detached and less affected by the “election energies” around us.

Purification for our country. For the Earth. Anger, hatred, intolerance, cruelty, violence, discrimination. These are just some of the lower energies that exist in our country and on Earth. It is an act of mercy and and act of service to help cleanse, clear and release these energies permanently, to transmute and transform these lower energies into high energies like loving kindness, compassion, spirituality, inner peace, inner beauty, and oneness with all. Purification through invocation or the Blue Triangle technique is powerful and strong. You may use an invocation similar to the following:

“To the Supreme God, Divine Mother and Father, to all the Spiritual Elders, Great Ones, Holy Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, to all the Spirits and Saints, to all the Holy Angles, Holy Archangels, Spiritual Helpers, with the help of Master Choa Kok Sui and Mahaguruji Mei Ling:

We humbly invoke and thank you for gently and mercifully neutralizing, disintegrating, extracting, expelling, releasing, and disposing safely and properly any and all energies of [insert energies to be removed like anger, hatred, intolerance, etc.] from [insert one of the following: my entire being, the United States of America, the entire Earth]. Thank you, thank you. In full faith. Amen.”

Do purification for yourself first, then your country or the Earth. Do not try to do purification for all three at the same time as it may cause adverse reactions. After each invocation for purification, follow and close with asking for Blessings for the Earth:

“Thank you for blessing [insert one of the following: your name, the United States of America, the entire Earth] with Divine Light, Divine Love, Divine Power. Thank you for blessing every being with happiness, good health, abundance, prosperity, spirituality and oneness with all. In full faith. Amen.”

“This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good.”--Author Unknown
