A response to the August 10, 2006 incident
What goes through your mind if your workplace is designated by the Department of Homeland Security as "Severe (Red)", the highest (worst) terror threat alert possible?
That's what happened to all airline personnel on flights leaving Britain for the United States today . If you were one of the thousands of workers -- pilots, cabin staff, ground crews -- what would you be thinking? And if you are not one of the workers, what are you thinking right now?: oooh, how awful...glad I don't work for the air-lines...glad I am not flying today?
Here's what I am thinking: There are a lot of people who sign up to be on the front-lines of protecting people from attacks of every kind and they deserve our deepest gratitude and devoted prayers - law enforcement, fire departments, paramedics, the military. But c'mon, airline pilots and cabin attendants? These are everyday jobs, just like the kind you and I have. So I am thinking -- and praying -- a lot right now for airline employees as if they were my colleagues in my workplace.
To me, the whole universe is created and ordered by divine Spirit. And this Spirit, this divine Intelligence , only creates good, life, love. All the effects or manifestations from this divine creation provide the spiritual atmosphere in which we live. Since this Mind-full environment is created, defined, and maintained by the all-powerful Spirit, what can possibly penetrate or disrupt or even destroy this environment?
It is kind of like the law of aerodynamics: you can't change it, you can't stop it, you can't prevent it...and try flying without it! We depend on it to function. Similarly this is how the law of Spirit functions, the law of harmonious being, which supercedes even the law of gravity. It is unchangeable and impermeable and it affects every liv-ing thing.
Praying in this way is an affirmation to me of the assured safety of airline personnel and their passengers. They are divinely protected by this law of being.
I am also praying to know without a doubt that whatever is opposed to this law of harmony will be seen and eliminated. This is a natural consequence of being so clear about what is right and true and good that whatever isn't becomes really obvious!
Think about solving a math equation: you learn about what works and you are clear about the law that provides the right results. No doubts. So when you see something in the equation that doesn't work, you spot it right away and eliminate it. But if you didn't really know the good and true, you wouldn't be able to spot the false. So it is really important to be clear about what is right.
Law enforcement personnel are focusing on what is right and good for the airlines and for passengers. They are not confused or muddled or wishy-washy. They are surrounded by the atmosphere of divine Spirit and intelligence. They are alert to whatever doesn't conform to the standard of right activity. From the Spirit within their true selves, they can and will see whatever is opposed to the law of harmony. And they will eliminate it.
Airline personnel, passengers and law enforcement employees are held and uplifted by the hands of the Almighty Spirit. This is the law of Life. Read more from this blogger at Grits.
