5-19-19 Weekly Gathering: “The Meaning of Life.”

Listen to this audio

 

Title: “The Meaning of Life.”
Description: Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert shared about how letting go of the question: “What is the meaning of life?” and living in the Mystery is the answer to seeing and living as the Truth. Any meaning you put on life is a concept. You are not a concept and seeing that life is not a concept either opens you up to Reality. Life is. Ultimately, this is the lived, felt state of Grace to live in the mystery where every question has dissolved.
Reading: Kathy Smith read “What is the Meaning of Life?” from Everything is Included by Nirmala.

4-21-19 Weekly Gathering: “Rising Beyond Concepts of the Fear of Life and Death”

Listen to this audio

 

Title: “Rising beyond Concepts of the Fear of Life and Death”
Description: Christians celebrate Easter as the honoring of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, victory over death, the fulfillment of the prophecy of the messiah, and the promise of eternal life. When we see the world and believe it to be our home, naturally arising is the fear of Death. NTI teaches us further that Death isn’t actually real, and that when we identify fully as Spirit, we do not see death. Death is described as an illusion in form, and that by releasing our identification with the world and our thinking, we identify as Spirit and therefore enter into Truth. In this path there arises resistance, which is the deeper fear of the real Self, of Truth. Our true and permanent salvation, freedom, and awakening lie in walking through this with faith, dedication, love, willingness.
Reader: Rayla Daniels read from NTI Matthew Chapter 28.

Title: Consciousness, The Domain of the Ego
Description: Many Awakening Together members once considered themselves students of A Course in Miracles. Since then, they have studied the teachings of sages, some ancient and some modern. Is the Course’s teaching about truth the same as the teaching of sages, or is it different? Rev. Regina Dawn Akers guided us into A Course in Miracles for another look at what it says.

He married A Course of Miracles with Nisargatta Maraharaj while surrounding himself with two love songs from the 70’s, that expose how we desire the love beyond words with ideas of love still entrenched in the mind.

3-31-19 Weekly Gathering: “Return to Innocence.”

Listen to this audio

 

Title: “Return to Innocence.”
Description: Rev. Gloria Wells shared how embracing with love the emotional signature of the child within is an important seemingly missing puzzle piece in our awakening. By not blaming the messenger (circumstances or people) we tune into our actual felt feelings in the moment and by embracing and being with these feelings, these patterns that create the very situations we are trying to avoid, what then happens is that the dense painful feelings are actually healed.
Reader: Rubbye Nassar read from Mark Nepo’s Book of Awakening.
