Balance of Power
Spiritual Meaning of Declaration of Independence
 
As we begin the month of July, we are reminded of our country's bid
for independence that began over 200 years ago. In 1776, there was
no balance of power; Great Britain controlled everything. A general
feeling of inequality set the stage for life-changing events.
Americans were very oppressed and therefore, the thirteen original
colonies decided it was time to separate from the Kingdom of Great
Britain. They signed The Declaration of Independence on July 4,
1776, commemorating America's first year of independence from
destructive forces. Since that time, fireworks have been associated
with the yearly holiday. 
 
When balance is off, unhappiness usually follows. Numerous
philosphers and teachers throughout history have ascribed to the
value of balance in all areas of life. I have discovered that
without balance, things can go askew. Without balance, fireworks
can have disastrous effects.
 
Many summers ago, I took my niece, who was a mere two years old, to
the movies. She wished to see The Care Bears Movie and I wanted to
give her the full movie experience. Although I do not like popcorn,
I knew she loved it and would be expecting some goodies to eat
while watching the show. Therefore, when we arrived, we went
straight to the concession stand, where I purchased a bucket of
popcorn for her, as well as a couple of drinks for the two of us.
 
We proceeded into the theater and took our seats. She wanted to sit
in her own chair. The theater we attended was equipped with the
standard fold-up variety theater seating--one chair made from two
different pieces hinged together. Furthermore, there were no
cup-holders attached to the chairs. As we approached our desired
location inside the dimly lit room, I carefully unfolded her seat
with one free foot, and motioned to her to plop down into it.
 
However, I soon discovered that her size and weight were
insufficient to keep the chair open. The chair sections were not
equally balanced, as the bottom seat required more weight to keep
it from closing shut. As I let go of her chair with my foot, it
quickly crumpled together, leaving her sandwiched between the chair
back and seat bottom. She immediately began to squeal.
 
I decided to pick her up and put her in my lap. However, holding a
two-year old along with two sodas and a bucket of popcorn was more
than I could handle. I came up with a plan that I thought would
work. I sat down in my own chair, and temporarily placed the drinks
and popcorn on the floor. Then, I lifted my niece into her own seat
right beside me, while I straddled the bottom seat of her chair
with my outstretched left leg, giving it enough support to keep her
secure.
 
Although I was uncomfortable in that position, I was confident that
this plan would suffice. Therefore, I immediately reached down,
picked up the popcorn and handed it to her. Within moments, she
began chomping down on the buttery snack. Comforted that all was
okay, I settled into my seat and began to watch her enjoying
herself, amused at the delight in her eyes when the theater
suddenly began playing movie trailers on the massive screen before
us. She turned to me and enthusiastically said, "Aunt Cindy, I like
that big TV screen!"
 
I laughed to myself and realized I had not yet picked up the drinks
from the floor. I leaned forward to pick them up. As I did so, my
outstretched leg shifted unexpectedly. In a split second, to my
amazement and horror, the two separate parts of my niece's seat
smashed together, wedging her between them. It happened so quickly
and with so much force that the bucket of popcorn she was holding
literally flew up into the air, similar to fireworks.
 
In shock, she sat there like a limp doll. The people behind her
were also hit with some of her popcorn and I could hear them
chuckling at the incredible spectacle. I remember thinking, "Thank
God she did not have her drink." To this day, I laugh to myself
when I think about how I lost balance and created a chaotic scene.
 
Without balance, life can become messy. Are you feeling out of
sorts or off kilter lately? Could it be that you are feeling out of
balance? If so, why might that be? Do you consider yourself a part
of the whole of God? Alternatively, perhaps like most people, you
may have been trained and believe that the spirit of God is outside
of you.
 
The very definition of balance is simply having things in equal
proportion--a harmonious arrangement of elements within a whole.
Accepting the idea that you are separate from the spirit creates
inequality and imbalance. Without balance, one side is stronger,
which can create turbulence as each side works against the other.
Had my niece's seat been made from one whole or had equal weighting
on both parts, she or I may not have had any trouble maintaining
her position.
 
Remember the slogan that began long ago and is currently printed on
our currency, "In God We Trust." In 1776, the thirteen colonies
were against imbalance and inequality. If they were happy, we might
never have wanted freedom from inequality. Might this phrase
establish our country was founded based upon the spiritual ideals
of balance and equality. Furthermore, only when you consider being
part of the whole of God can there be equality.
 
When you make the realization that you are part of the whole,
imbalance will dissipate and happiness can be attained. Why not
stop the destructive fireworks that may be going on inside you
right now by embracing the concept of being part of the whole of
God. When you do, you can celebrate more joyously the freedoms you
already have within you. You have both size and weight within you
to handle any situation.
 
God has indeed blessed America. More importantly, recognize that He
has blessed every person on the planet. Let us trust in God who is
within us. It is only a matter of making that realization to bring
His light and goodness forward. So, my wish for you is to make a
declaration of independence from the destructive belief that your
are separate from the whole of God. Have joy in the balance of
power within you!
 
 

Let the Colorful Light Within You Shine Brightly

Just like fireworks, I have always loved colors. If you ever
visited my home, you would be presented with an array of colors
throughout my house, as every room is a different color. I did not
know it at the time, but I painted my house in many colors of the
rainbow. I have a purple office, a primarily blue bathroom, a green
bedroom, a yellow living room, a peach (or light shade of orange)
guest bedroom and a red dining room.
 
You may not know it, but each of these colors are also inside every
one of you. Therefore, God not only put the rainbow in the sky
after a storm, but since we are all part of the whole of God, He
also has a rainbow within you.
 
If you are feeling sluggish or imbalanced, it is often beneficial
to 'clean' out the smog from your inner rainbow. I have a habit of
visualizing and 'cleaning' that rainbow of colors within me every
day.
 
To do so, I visualize a column of light entering my body through my
head, or crown chakra. Slowly, I move the light down through my
body, from point A to point G. A is the white light of the head. B
is the deep purple hue of my third eye located between my eyes. C
is a bright blue in the throat. D is a crisp grass green of the
heart. E is the deep yellow situated in my solar plexis. F is the
rich orange of my spinal base. And finally, G is the vibrant red of
my sexual organs at the tip of my spine. Once the column of light
reaches the bottom of my spine, I continue to let the white light
flow all the way to my toes and directly into the earth.
 
If you have never attempted this exercise, I invite you to give it
a try. With practice, you will be able to complete the exercise in
a matter of minutes, making you feel very refreshed, just like
after a spring rain. Soon, you will be able to generate the bright
energy of any fireworks display, bringing joy not only to yourself,
but to everyone around you!
