time.
    They have not been called into action, into response until now. Breathe into our hearts, love.
    Until you can imagine your heart center not just being in the center and slightly to the left,
    That your heart center begins to fill your whole chest area, extends out before you, in front of you.
    Extends behind you, rising up to your throat, down to your navel. This whole area becomes a warm pulsating center of love and light.
    And now we are called to bring into our hearts, images of the recent tragic events of Tuesday, September 11th.
    Bring into our hearts these images and to allow this love to just infuse them,
    Transform them from pain into peace, from a desperate lost energy into one faith.
    Let us first bring into our hearts those whose lives were so swiftly ended on Tuesday.
    Those on the planes, those in the World Trade Center. We bring those individuals into our hearts.
    Perhaps some have lifted into the infinite and perhaps some are in the state of confusion.
    We bring them, those especially, into our heart center. We breathe in the light, breathe peace.
    And very mindfully we breathe out the trauma. We are willing to do this work for them.
    This is how great our love is.
    Breathe in that shock, that horror.
    Breathe it out, breathe love into their souls that they be lifted in peace now, into the infinite. That we and they know together that life is eternal.
    So we let them go and bring into our hearts their family members. We’ve seen them, heard their stories.
    We’ve seen their anguish and incredible grief.
    We are courageous enough, as spiritual beings, to bring their pain into our hearts.
    And to allow this enormous love that we have to begin to burn away that pain, to dissolve that pain, to transform that pain, transform that suffering and sense of loss, bewilderment.
    If your heart gets very heavy, very intense, just really emphasize the exhalation.
    Breathe that energy out.
    Just pour out immeasurable love into the lives of these beings. If we think that this is an impossible task, we need to remember the words of A Course in Miracles : “How long is an instant?”
    We continue on.
    We release these loved ones, and welcome into our heart centers now the firefighters, policemen, the heroes that don’t want to be called heroes.
    We bring them into our heart and we send them boundless love, immeasurable gratitude.
    We let the shock that they have been through, the devastation that they have witnessed, be dissolved into our heart centers now.
    Energy is moving in this room, grace is being sent forth.
    Bring into our hearts, those that were in or near the building that escaped,
    How they must be wrestling with gratitude and regret and confusion.
    We bring all those emotions that they must be experiencing into the powerful space of our committed hearts.
    We bring that energy in, that they may be consoled, that we may be the ones to console them, that they may know peace, that they may know that there is an order at work that one day they may understand.
    Bring all of their conflicted emotions, courageously, bravely, into our own hearts and let that energy be burned off by the all-consuming energy of our heart centers.
    Breathe in ever so deeply.
    Bring into our hearts those that lost part of their world, which would really be every one of us.
    Our hearts are large enough to contain this. We are one, one in the heart of God.
    We let the all-consuming love of our hearts transform this energy as well.
    Now our hearts are so enormous, our love is so limitless, that we now bring in those that have been the perpetrators, those that have hated us, those that have judged us so harshly. Very gently, easily we bring this energy into our hearts.
    We allow it to be dissolved, to become nothing, for it is not the reality of their beings.
    Let that energy be dissolved in our hearts now.
    We are like the spiritual surrogates, so committed to the path of healing, of transformation, that in this very room, this very
