The 2011-2012 Universal Hour of Peace is dedicated to being awake – awake to personal choice, awake to individual freedom and responsibility to the Whole Self and others. One of the Universal Truths taught at the School of Metaphysics is described as “thought is cause.” The Universal Peace Covenant presents precise and perfected thought forms of what makes for peace. This is why we invite others to read the Covenant at the turning of each new year.
As the Covenant says, "Our world is in the midst of change." We all see it in new governments coming into the world and in new integrities coming forward in corporations and media. We feel it in our pocketbooks and in our level of trust with each other. We know it through our willingness to still our minds in contemplative meditation.
These changes have been forecast throughout the ages by those who understood the relationship between humanity and the universe we inhabit. This is why the School of Metaphysics is sponsoring a 20 hour, 12 minute meditation to ring in this New Year. Meditation has so many benefits, both for the individual meditator as well as large groups of people. Through meditation you will awaken to know your thoughts, and enjoy the calm, centeredness allowing you to think peaceably in any situation.
This weblog is a record of the meditation experiences and thoughts during this meditation. We invite you to meditate with us and share your thoughts as well.
In the days following the 20'12" meditation, I continue to reflect on the beauty and peace that continuous meditation brought to me, the school, and the city of Chicago (where I spent the time.) It seems that everyone who was a part of this 20'12" meditation, in all of the cities where we have SOM branches, was enriched by this devoted practice. I am very pleased to read the entries of so many people who reported that they experienced the best or deepest meditations they had ever had from participating in this group endeavor, united with people across the Midwest who were meditating continuously.
I am grateful to all of the people who concentrated on listening to the Creator, to meditating upon peace and bringing about superconscious awareness, for ourselves and for humanity.
I went to the event in Cincinnati since 6 o'clock. Because I'm just a new student with no prior experience in meditation I decided to only be part of the administrative side of the event. From 6 am to 9 am I helped installing all the tables that accomodate the books, pamphlets, food etc. I was also given the task of beeing a greeter. I had to give a brief introduction to the event and guide the people to the meditation space. After the meditation, I would ask people if they could write in the journal and participate in the dream reaserch project. For me the experience was very interesting and motivated me to continue with my studies.
Thank you for teaching me to meditate Leah so I could participate in the 20 hours and 12 minutes meditation for peace. I asked my question and listened earnestly and heard very clearly, “Pay Attention”. And that is what I will do–pay attention to my customers who are all those around me who need something from me and give something of value to me in return. ”Peace above me, peace below me, peace in front of me, peace behind me, peace within me.”
