Questions
Some people have asked about "personalizing" the temple space for themselves by visualizing additional elements beyond what's described in the meditations - sort of after-market add-ons.
It's best to keep the temple area proper as "plain" as possible - as the added forms will most likely be perceived as "noise" or an "indistinct quality" by others in the group. However anyone so inclined is encouraged to create for themselves a personal grotto or space outside the temple itself. Hey, it's thought-stuff! You can do anything you like!

A couple of you have asked about meditating for
the world, humanity, or world peace. i.e. broadening our scope a little. Let me
be clear on a couple of things in this
regard:
1) I’m doing what spirit has told me to do: work to awaken the American group mind (and when I say “told” I mean, literally, I’ve been told to do this specific thing).
2 Meditating and praying for the world, or all of humanity is a good and important thing. So much so, that many people are doing it. This is why this specific work is so important: because America’s choices are having a HUGE impact on the rest of the world. Only as Americans do we have the opportunity to accelerate the group mind of our nation. And in so doing, help the planet.
3) Here’s a (somewhat poor) analogy: A person is sick. They have an infection in one part of their body. As a result they have a fever and feel weak. If you treat the fever and weakness, you will be missing the root cause – the infection. This is a little like the world situation today. Does the world need help, prayer, meditation? Absolutely. But if America doesn’t wake up and assume its proper responsibility as the greatest nation in the free world, the global circumstance will only spiral further out of control. We must treat the infection - the root cause - and not the symptoms. This is why we are called to this specific task.
So, here’s what spirit says: Any other work is noble, desirable and laudable, but is more appropriate for other forums. It is VERY important that this group work stay extremely specific.
