04-06-25 Weekly Gathering, “Nurturing Your Mind – A Homily on Ego Suicide” with Rev. David Hemphill
Title: “Nurturing Your Mind – A Homily on Ego Suicide”
Description: It’s confounding how, by some accounts, ego appears to vanish at enlightenment, and yet by way of other accounts, it is only the ego who walks the path and who ever becomes enlightened anyways. Which is it: Does ego vanish and the True Self come to the forefront of life, or does ego wake up to its own true nature and become the vessel of God? Are we on a path of ego suicide?
It is a paradox for both to be true. Life, though—just as it has fleas and mosquitoes—has paradoxes, itchy as they may be. The ego is an itchy paradox who seeks both to be free and to be clear. Join me in exploring the kindness we can live with as the fragile sense of self walks the spiritual path.
Reading: Tina Brown read selected excerpts from Byron Katie’s, A Mind at Home with ItSelf and Unveiling the Mystery (Unpublished) by David Hemphill.

03-16-25 Weekly Gathering, “Where the Thorn Gets Removed” with Rev. Rhoda Makled
Title: “Where the Thorn Gets Removed”
Description: During last week’s gathering Regina’s message focused on helping us to see thought, to know what thought is and to be clear about the fact that thoughts are what our programming follows. Being clear about what is thought is incredibly helpful. But when the rubber meets the road the stored pain can feel like it is too much to handle. And while we know this is just another thought, in the heat of the moment, one of the thoughts that doesn’t get seen is just this. “This is too much. I can’t handle this.” This thought, when seen, is the path to surrender. This is where the thorn gets removed.
