Everyone is Invited to Discuss the Jeffrey Martin Interview with Regina ~ Tuesday, June 18 at 8:30pm ET During Gentle Healing 3

June 17, 2019 By Regina Dawn Akers

Rev. Regina Dawn Akers interviewed Dr. Jeffrey A. Martin, author of The Finders, on Sunday night. She will follow-up by discussing this interview and answering questions about it during Gentle Healing Year 3 tonight at 8:30pm ET. Everyone is invited to attend.

Gentle Healing Year 3 students are currently contemplating Step Two in The Seven Steps to Awakening. The introduction to Step Two reads:

Know that the world is a dreamlike illusion. Know that all of the following are dreamlike illusions:

a. The world.
b. The body.
c. The universe.
d. All dimensions.
e. All events, motions and actions.
f. Time.

Almost all of the words in a dictionary describe dreamlike illusions.

Regina feels it would be helpful to discuss Dr. Martin’s research with Gentle Healing Year 3 students while they are contemplating this most extreme spiritual idea–the world does not exist.

Everyone is invited to join this discussion and ask ‘on topic’ questions regarding the Dr. Jeffrey Martin interview.

If you haven’t listened to the interview yet, you can listen at this link.
