Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert facilitates this program, in which Awakening Together members and friends join together to watch and discuss TED talks that reveal the Truth of ourselves and our universe based on the actual experience of ordinary people. Their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma—and give us a “man on the street” perspective on what we are coming to learn through Awakening Together.

New: Audrey Whitehead – Awakening Adventures – Sunday 1pm

May 8, 2020 By Aggie Mitchkoski

Inspired by Inner Wisdom Audrey will read from inspired works (sometimes her own journal), as well as incorporate guided, silent or music led meditations. Spontaneous talks about topics that come from her Inner Guidance are certainly a possibility.

When asked why she decided to take on this teaching, Audrey credits her Gentle Healing Year 1 facilitator, Rev. Shawna. After Shawna messaged Audrey this: “I’m so grateful you have stepped up and taking a sharing spot!” Audrey replied: “OMGOODness! It wasn’t ME who stepped forward!” Here’s what she had to say about this process.

“On Sunday when Dawn made the announcement, a small voice told me, “Yes.” Without thinking, I privately messaged Dawn in the chat stating that I was interested. Shortly after, mind moved me back to the illusion and I felt TERRIFIED! Thinking the thought, “What the hell happened?”

Since then, I’ve had beliefs fall away and the guidance is stronger. I’ve experienced miracles the last two days gently showing me that I’m not alone in this. I’m nervous, but excited too! My spiritual aspiration has shifted from, “Be Love always in all ways” to “SEE Love always in ALL ways.”

I’ve since been contemplating this and have quite a list but I think being/seeing/hearing Love is my purpose along with the desire to be truly helpful, wanting to Know Myself in Truth and to be a vessel for Spirit to move through for the highest good. These recent shifts have been a result of studying Regina’s teachings which have really expanded my mind. I am currently practicing the workbook lessons in A Course in Miracles. When I started reading this book in June of 2019, I felt I found something that I had been missing most of my life.

♥ Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly…Leave the rest to God ♥”

New: Rhoda Makled – “Trusting Trust” Wednesday at Noon

May 8, 2020 By Aggie Mitchkoski

With more questions than answers, Rhoda explores the return to innocence. Raw, authentic and with the faith of a mustard seed she uncovers her path to trusting, trust and experience her heart’s True Desire

In the movie, Contact, Jodi Foster’s character explores the universe in a spaceship that never leaves earth…or so it appears to the watchers. Her character’s experience is very different from what the outside world seems to see. She discovers the truth of who we all are and why letting go of fear, control and knowing, leads to the most phenomenal awakening to faith. This is what’s in store. No need to do anything else, but faithfully explore this path. Know what inner knowing knows. Live without trying to convince anyone else of truth. There’s nothing else that needs to be done here. Let every activity, every sight, every sound, every bodily experience brings you deeper and deeper beyond the obstacles to Peace. Let it show you life through the lens of truth. Just get rid of the restraints and the chair and be with Inner Wisdom.

Gentle Healing Year 1 ~ Lesson 360 – 2020

April 11, 2020 By Aggie Mitchkoski

Before going to our final lessons, let’s review the special themes:

What is Forgiveness? Forgiveness is recognizing yourself as the unaffected Self. Therefore, “what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred.”

What is Salvation? Salvation is healing by “failing to support the world of dreams … it lets illusions go. By not supporting them, it merely lets them quietly go down to dust.”

What is the World? It is a “false perception” where “mechanisms of illusion … go to find what has been given them to seek.” Yet, “all perception can be given a new purpose.”

What is Sin? Sin is ignorance or outward focus. “Sin is the home of all illusions, which but stand for things imagined issuing from thoughts that are untrue.”

What is the Body? “The body is a fence” that seems to separate us from everything else. It makes duality seem real and makes it seem as if we experience duality directly. However, its purpose can be changed.

What is Christ? Christ is consciousness. It is the process of creation and the unaffected witness of creation. It is what we are. It is our higher Self. (Note: There is a more ultimate reality beyond Christ, compared to which Christ is an illusion.)

What is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is a Judeo-Christian term for spiritual intuition, which issues forth from our Self as consciousness. Its sole purpose is to help us awaken to consciousness. Once this goal is accomplished, its purpose is done. (God takes the last step to awaken us beyond consciousness.)

What is the Real World? The real world is the world as it is seen from the perspective of consciousness. It is a world blessed by forgiven eyes, seen through true perception. The real world is still a dream, but it is a dream that reflects Truth. It prepares us for the next and final awakening.

What is the Second Coming? It is the first awakening, awakening to our Self as consciousness. From this awakening we see with true perception and experience the real world.

What is the Last Judgment? It is the second and final awakening, awakening beyond consciousness into Nirvana. With this step, consciousness itself is seen to be untrue.

What is Creation? “Creation” is a term A Course in Miracles uses for eternal reality. It is known after the death of our sense of self as mind-consciousness. It is our true Self beyond any sense of self. It is our actual existence.

What is the Ego? It is the sense of self. The lower ego is the self-centered self, sometimes called the lower self. Usually when people use the term “ego,” they are referring to the lower self. However, the higher Self or “I am presence” is also part of the ego sense of self. The lower self is separation consciousness, and the higher Self is unity consciousness. Both the lower and higher selves are transcended when the final awakening occurs.

What is a Miracle? Miracles are shifts in perception that move one from the lower self to the higher Self. Some people refer to these shifts as awakenings, although each shift is a subset of the total awakening experience. Awakening to consciousness (the higher Self) may be gradual or sudden and varies greatly among individuals.

What am I? The answer to this question can be known as a direct experience when the sense of self disappears completely.

Peace be to me, the holy Son of God. Peace to my brother, who is one with me. Let all the world be blessed with peace through us.
