If we seek to understand this from a spiritual perspective, one which we can each include in our individual development, we would discern the call to use our spiritual knowledge, not only to benefit our own lives and affairs, but also those of others beyond our personal acquaintance, especially those who seem subject to unjust threats, such as the people of Iraq at this time. Transmuting our own awareness does of course automatically affect the whole. Yet service implies something more, putting aside one’s individual sphere of concerns to focus resources on assistance to others.

Such a release of the apparent pressure of concern for personal needs, to devote personal resources to helping others, is the higher meaning of "donation." For inhabitants of the developed world, donating time to apply mental and spiritual attention to collective concerns can seem more expensive than sharing money. And yet, if you are already spending some time daily in prayer or meditation, adding on a minute or two to heal the world is really not too great a sacrifice, is it?

Sharing the blessing of your own relative calm and prosperity (compared to humanity’s vast majority), and spiritual knowledge of prayer and visualization techniques, is one, powerful way to offset the risk of only being on the receiving end of blessing. And you may be quite amazed when you hear the news about improvements in those issues which seemed beyond your scope of influence, after holding them in your daily prayers. This New Moon cycle calls us to initiate habits which promote divine justice, to harvest as well as share those fruits of wellness which belong to each created being, by right of divine love.

Prayers and Visualizations for the October Libra New Moon Cycle

1. Create your visualization of restored good at the New Moon Portal.

a) Consider those areas of your life which appear to be less successful or fulfilling than you would wish, due to some external influence of the past or present. Place special focus on those apparent setbacks or disappointments stemming from unjust treatment or actions by others.

Some examples might include:

My self-esteem and love-consciousness would be better if my partner didn’t put me down.

My business and finances would be more successful if my partner were more organized and dedicated.

My house would be mold free if the insurance companies had been more honest.

I would have more work speaking if certain, envious people weren’t trying to block me.

I would have the car I want if someone paid their debt to me.

I would have more self-esteem if I hadn´t been put down as a child.

I would get the treatment I deserve in my family if my sibling weren’t so competitive.

b) Write your ideal scenario, describing what those areas of your life would be like now if there were no unjust limitations placed on them. Make sure to write in present tense, describing really happy conditions as though they were already so.

2. Daily prayers and visualizations for the October Libra Moon Cycle.

a) Each morning before rising, and/or each night just before sleeping, go over your ideal scenario, experiencing each point in it as though it were already so, including some sensory stimuli, as well as the accompanying emotional sense of relief, joy and satisfaction.

b) Repeat some prayers like the following to fortify your fairness awareness:

"No circumstance nor influence can keep Divine Justice from delivering to me that which is mine by right of consciousness as I visualize and believe that which I desire as though it were already so. Divine Justice is present and active in my life, insuring my complete wellness, as it also shows me how to share power and other blessings with others in appropriate, effective ways."

c) Donate prayers for planetary well-being and justice. You can click here to find some powerful suggestions from our last month’s Full Moon prayers.

Another option would be to include following your personal prayer and visualization sessions with an affirmation like the following:

"The love, joy, peace, faith and light I feel in my heart, join with the love, joy, peace, faith and light in all the hearts around the world, and we enfold the entire planet in victorious love, joy, peace, faith and light now."

Those who wish to assist Iraq will appreciate sharing in the following prayer donation:

"Divine good is present in the hearts and criterion of those who can influence or take part to stop any destructive action against Iraq, or against any other apparently defenseless area or nation of the world. Christ in such influential individuals is stirring them, mobilizing them and will not let them rest until they express the divine will to impede and neutralize any harm to Spirit’s beloved children in any part of the world."
