Developing Trust Interview – Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert
Jacquelyn Eckert
A universal assembly for true discernment
Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert will interview Mary Reed. Mary Reed is an “accidental” mystic who, following eleven years of profound, involuntary visions and insights into divine realms, surrendered her executive life in Washington, DC to explore her spiritual gifts in a remote Buddhist nunnery in India. She grew up without any interest in religion but with an innate knowing that humans had more ability to access greater wisdom than most seemed to realize.
When not immersed in silence and contemplation in the Himalayas, Mary inspires audiences far and wide with her story and perspectives. Using the unique lens of mysticism through which she has been viewing both Divine and earthly realms for fifteen years, Mary’s 2016 tour focused on the answer to a single question: If Love is all we need, then why hasn’t it ever been enough to make our suffering go away? In her words, “If we want a world in which Love really is all we need, then we need to know what Love really is. And if we as individuals want to be part of the awakening experience that is manifesting that world, then we need to know what it is to BE that Love.”
During the Speaker Spotlight on Jan 8,2017 Karen Worth wanted to share this meditation. She has recorded it and posted it here.
It comes from the book “Living from the Heart” by Elizabeth MacDonald by AHAM publication
Find a place where you will be undisturbed. If it is comfortable, put on headsets or earbuds.
Relax, and enjoy this meditation.
This 4-week training is open to anyone on a path of self-realization with an interest in developing awareness and skills in the following areas:
We will also address some things to QUIT in the new year including:
1) Quit Being Afraid of What Others Think
Anchor your wholeness in the love of God/Creator. Quit relying on the approval and acknowledgment of others for your sense of self worth.
2) Quit Lying
Live truly free to unrelenting honesty with yourself, God and others. Quit pretending everything is fine, when it is not and change your life.
3) Quit Dying to the Wrong Things
Receive the many gifts god has provided for you that nurture and delight your soul. Quit dying to those things that bring you life.
4) Quit Denying Anger, Sadness and Fear
Embrace your God given humanity by paying attention to your “difficult” emotions and discerning how God wants to come to you through them. Quit ignoring feelings.
5) Quit Blaming
Take responsibility for your own life and happiness. Quit giving away your God given personal freedom and power.
6) Quit Overfunctioning
Don’t do for others what they could and should do for themselves. Quit trying to control people and situation.
7) Quit Faulty Thinking
Choose to live in reality and truth rather than with distorted thinking. Quit making assumptions that will leave you powerless and in unnecessary pain.
8) Quit Living Someone Else’s Life
Take up the challenge of living your God given, unique, unrepeatable, life and destiny.

Cate Grieves was our Satsang guest in December. We were impressed with Cate’s vigilance and clarity, so we invited her to be a regular speaker in our Sanctuary, and she accepted our invitation.
We are thrilled to announce that Cate will be a regular presenter in the Awakening Together Sanctuary each Sunday at 6pm ET, 3pm PT, starting this Sunday, January 1.
If you missed the December Satsang with Cate, you can watch the video below:
Hi Everyone!
Let me take this opportunity to wish you a heartfelt Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I am writing to let you know about a new teaching I will offer in 2017, and to let you know about a change to the way I will post my audios in 2017.
Starting on Tuesday, January 10, I will offer a new teaching on Tuesday evenings from 8-10pm ET, 5-7pm Pacific. This teaching will be called “Consistent, Gentle Healing.” It isn’t a teaching as much as it is a new Awakening Together Group.
Since the Fall Retreat in Colorado Springs, I have been feeling it is time for me to lead a group of committed students from their present state of mind to a more purified, more awakened state of mind. This is the group that will begin on January 10.
I am looking for committed students who would like to make consistent, gentle progress toward genuine peace, joy and love. This group will meet weekly and will be committed to specific assignments and practices between group meetings.
In the beginning, all that you need to participate in this group are copies of A Course in Miracles and The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI). As we move forward as a group, there may be additional books that we will purchase and go through together, but these two books are enough in the beginning. Although I fully support the Sparkle and Original Edition of A Course in Miracles, I feel it is best as a group that we all work with the same version of the Course. Therefore, I recommend the Foundation for Inner Peace version of the Course for this group. I have selected this version of A Course in Miracles simply because it is the first version that I worked with, and it is the most-commonly owned version of A Course in Miracles in the world today.
If this Awakening Together group calls to you, I recommend arranging your personal schedule so that you can participate in the group live. However if this is not possible, audios will be posted and you can participate by listening to the audios.
Several friends have asked me if one needs to ‘register’ for this group. Nope. All you have to do is come. You may join us in one of two ways: In the Awakening Together Sanctuary or at Ken Gibson’s house in Pueblo West, CO. If you live in the Pueblo area and would like to meet with us in person, contact me for directions.
Over the past several months I have been posting my teachings on awakening-together.org and on reginadawnakers.com. However, this makes twice as much work for me and I feel I need to be more efficient with my time. Therefore, starting immediately here is how you can access my audio teachings:

Love, Regina
