Special Podcast Regarding Solar Eclipse Plus Short Meditation

On Monday, April 8, 2024, we experienced a unique, and amazing astronomical and social event.  We had 4 plus hours of watching a Total Solar Eclipse as it traveled across the country.  The path of this Total Solar Eclipse began in Mexico and passed through Texas, Arkansas, and Illinois.  The path kept going past the Great Lakes and across Maine.

Millions of people gathered in parks and backyards, in fields and on hills, anywhere they felt they could get a good view of the Moon as it moved across the Sun.  Because of our technology, many more millions of people around the world were able to watch the Eclipse on their phone, computer, or television !!!

As the Moon moved across the face of the Sun, you could see a range of feelings and emotions on people's faces.  Some people gasped, some cried, and some people were jumping up and down!  This was a shared moment of Wonder and Awe.

Socrates said "Wonder was the beginning of wisdom.  Being in a state of Awe is considered to be a very profound spiritual state.  And that is what we saw on people's faces yesterday !!!  We witnessed an extraordinary celestial event and an amazing response by millions of People.

How often does that happen in our World ... ?

One of my early spiritual teachers often said, "If you want to understand the Creator, study Creation.".  Well, we did that yesterday in a very big way!  Good for Us !!!

We live on an Extraordinary and Beautiful Planet that could be a Paradise.  We could live in relative peace with each other and with Nature.  We could do that.

Thank You to Everyone for the Peaceful Gatherings, the extraordinary use of technology, and the amazing coverage of the whole event !!!

Have a Wonderful Week, 

And remember to Breathe !!!
