Title: “Thy Will, Not Mine”
Description: Moving beyond the comforting, yet limiting view of God as a kind of cosmic Santa Claus — dispensing blessings for prayers and good behavior — Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert will explore the deeper, more transformative understanding of aligning our desires with the universal will. This shift challenges us to look past our personal gains and embrace a path of spiritual growth, interconnectedness, and collective well-being. Recognizing the influence of the ego and learning to surrender our individual wills lead us toward the grace of embracing “Thy Will, Not Mine,” inviting us into alignment with a higher purpose. This alignment transcends our immediate desires and guides us toward true fulfillment and spiritual enlightenment.
Reading: Connie Poole read from Inner Ramana, “The Purpose of Surrender” parts 1 & 2, and “The Importance of Practice” parts 1 & 2.
