07-19-26 ~ Weekly Gathering with Rev. Joseph Schmitz, “It’s All Very Innocent”

Description: Near the end of the movie about the life of St. Francis “Brother Sun, Sister Moon”, Pope Innocent III shares the insight that “In our obsession with original sin, we too often forget original innocence”.

What is it that prevents us from directly experiencing our original innocence? One answer to this question is that our minds have been conditioned, or programmed, to see the  world, and ourselves, in certain, distorted ways.

During this gathering we will look at how the mind is conditioned, how to recognize the conditioning and the practices that assist in the unbinding process.

Reading: Monika Seidenbusch read excerpts from NTI 1 Timothy chapters 1-4.
