Our Minister – Rev Jay McCormick, spoke on:
“Awakening Occurs By Letting Go Of All Dreams”

Awakening comes from letting go of the attachment to the world I see, letting go of my illusions and “things I think I must do” to be happy or content in some way. When we let people and events be and unfold as they may, we choose to let go of our expectations and make way for the truth and all real life. Let’s start now with this very moment.

Contributing to the River

Rev. Regina Dawn Akers peacefully and joyously examined mental and emotional habits of attack that we may not usually recognize as attack, while also helping us see how we can transcend all habits of attack.

The Choice of Forgiveness

Jay McCormick, minister, speaks about a story told by Muhammad the Prophet of Islam. That which troubles us in any way hangs on our heart, keeping us from peace.  Choose the path of true forgiveness and open the door to peace, standing together with your friend.  All wounds heal by allowing purification to take place within us.

Reverend Jacquelyn Eckert spoke this morning in the Awakening Together Sanctuary.   Her topic was “From Seeking to Abiding.”

It seems that the way in which many of us go about the spiritual journey mirrors the way we have learned to achieve in the world. The advice of the masters suggests this approach should be abandoned. Jacquelyn’s talk is a contemplation of the teaching that one should follow one’s true desire without grasping for enlightenment as a goal to be achieved.

Reverend Jay McCormick was our Minister this week.  His topic:  “The vision of Christ”

What is the most valuable thing in the world? Whatever part of it you look up on with love in your heart.  The value lies in the sight of connection, the sight of innocence, within the mind of the seer and thus in all minds.  When we desire to wake up into God, our sight becomes healed and we see past the form of our world and behold beauty and the Christ in everyone because we see it in our own seeming mind.  When we transfer and extend love without any interference, we open the door of connection.
