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

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

3-10-19 Weekly Gathering: “Dissolving the Perception of Separation”
Title: “Dissolving the Perception of Separation”
Description: Rev. Jay McCormick shares that when we go within and ask ‘What Am I?’ the first answer may be ‘I am thought’. But then when asking what is being thought, they answer may be ‘I am mind’. But not satisfied with that, going to the source of mind, what is there? God. Its all about turning within and looking with Holy eyes that see love in the face of all things. Going within simply requires willingness. It happens when no one is looking yet the effects are plain for everyone to see.
