A Prayer for Humanity

Linda Heron Wind, Ph.D.

Over the last few months a song has come to me that plays like muzak in my mind. It is a prayer song of surrender and supplication for the evolution of myself and all of humanity into unity consciousness. So here is the song that is a teaching from the Star Beings about how to be in this Earth walk.

Make of my heart the One True Heart, Temple of Love for the universe. We begin with the heart because that is where we must begin these days. The heart has become the foundation of our existence in this world just as the Earth has become the Heart Chakra of the Universe. The level of heart consciousness that is required for us to move forward in our lives, is one that holds unconditional love and the understanding that all is in perfection in the moment. There is nothing "wrong" with the world or ourselves. When we look through our physical eyes things appear to be "wrong" relative to how we expect or want them to be, but when we look through our heart's eyes, we see that there is divine order and purpose to everything, even if we do not understand it.

The heart becomes the Temple of Love, accepting and appreciating everyone and everything that comes our way. No one and nothing is turned away from this Temple. It is like the feast to which Jesus invited everyone, regardless of their circumstance in life. All parts of ourselves are welcome and, since we are all one, all parts of everyone are welcome here. No judgments are necessary. Each part has its role in this divine play of which we are all a part.

Make of my mind the One True Mind, Temple of Peace for the universe. Now, on to the role of the mind. Unfortunately the mind has been assigned many job descriptions for which it is not well suited. We use it to judge, control, and tell stories about things, people, and situations. It jabbers away most of the day about all kinds of things that are not true. It tries to make decisions that are always based upon false or incomplete information. Despite this, our culture has put the mind on a pedestal and made it the CEO of our corporations (bodies). The True Mind is the mind of God and we have the potential to access that mind and its infinite peace. When we focus the mind in the present and keep it in a place of acceptance rather than reactance or resistance, peace is the result. The mind functioning at its highest capacity becomes a Temple of Peace. This Temple is essential for higher consciousness to evolve. Without a peaceful mind, higher consciousness cannot be cultivated.

Make of my body a Temple of Joy, dancing the prayers of the universe. When the heart is loving and the mind is peaceful, the body becomes a conduit, a lightning rod that carries the divine energy to Earth. Prayer is communication between the Earth plane and Divine presence. When it flows through us into the world, the dance begins. Part of the dance is the magical synchronicity that happens with no effort on our part. We are able to respond to situations that arise as if we are dancing with a divine partner leading us in a dance that we cannot know. We surrender to what is and continue the dance. The prayers of the universe are for harmony and so we dance harmony into the world with our actions and words.

Make of my soul a Temple of Light, blessing the whole of the universe. Supported by the heart, mind, and body, the soul can be what it authentically is - light. When the heart is loving, the mind at peace, and the body dancing with the divine, the soul is naturally radiant. It shines on every situation and person, blessing it in wholeness and holiness. What in our world does not need divine blessing? Blessings naturally flow from the authentic Self into the world. What better prayer can we have than to be a light in the world? In each small thing that we think, feel, do, and say, the light will shine. Perhaps no one will notice, but that is all right for it is simply who you are - light.

At this time of Winter Solstice, Full Moon, and holiday, ask for what is really important, not just for yourself but for humanity as a whole. Ask that you may find love, peace, the divine dance, and radiance that allows you to become your authentic self - a blessing to the world.

Make of my heart the One True Heart
Temple of Love for the universe

Make of my mind the One True Mind
Temple of Peace for the universe

Make of my body a Temple of Joy
Dancing the prayers of the universe

Make of my soul a Temple of Light
Blessing the whole of the universe
