I made a special effort to get up early and showered so I could be outside 20 minutes before sunrise. It was well worth it. I read the first meditation in the Sunrise Meditation ebook. Then I looked at Master Omraam's photo and asked him to inspire me with a deeper meaning. In this case, it was a higher meaning. After a minute, the thought occurred to me that we can rise to meet the dawn, instead of staying in the valley of ignorance. Master Omraam and his disciples at the bonfin would climb a hill to an outcropping that was above the surrounding forest to wait for the sunrise. It's slide 16 in the slide show, I think. This is what I wrote in my journal. "The dawn of the Age of Aquarius is coming and people's consciousness will become enlightened. For some, it will be a rude awakening. But we can rise to meet the dawn by raising our consciousness higher. In this way, we will become harbingers of the New Age and can be better guides to those who will waken later. Climbing the mountain of attainment is difficult, but as Morya said, "The trek is well worth the inconvenience."

As the sun began to rise, I stepped up on a large boulder next to our tangelo tree so I could see the sun over the treetops. So I did physically what the first part of this meditation said. Then I continued meditating, not on the words I read but on my surroundings. I was surrounded by branches of the tree with green tangelos hanging on them. So I thought, "I'm both like a fruit tree and a fruit. As a tree, I am connected to the earth with my bare feet so that the sap of earth energy can rise up my spinal column, and I am receiving the nourishing rays of the sun. As a fruit, I am like one of the tangelos hanging around me that are on the outer branches and which will be the first to ripen. Other fruits on the inner branches don't get as much sun and will take longer to ripen. These are like those people in the first part of the meditation who take longer to wake up. Like the title of Shirley McLaine's book we are "out on a limb" as harbingers of the new age of the sun and we will be harvested first.
