Common Ground Mini-Series: Gina Lake – Part 3 of 8
BUSTING THE ILLUSION
In week 3 of this 8-week class with Gina Lake, we heard more of how to free yourself from the false self and its negative and limiting beliefs. You will see clearly how the egoic mind, which creates the false self, operates and draws you into its illusory, virtual reality and how all suffering is created by believing the lies in the egoic thought-stream. More importantly, you will discover what you can do about it—how you can detach from the egoic mind and align, instead, with your true self. You will see how living in alignment with the true self is not only more creative, wise, peaceful, and loving, but also safe and provides for all your needs. This course is essentially about how to move out of the egoic mind and live from a deeper place, which is accessed in the present moment.

Spirit Led Movie Watchers Group – 5/22/16
Once again our Movie Watchers Group was inspired by the messages Spirit gives us when we ask and look for them. In the movie “Lars and the Real Girl,” Lars (Academy Award-Nominee* Ryan Gosling), is a sweet but quirky guy who thinks he’s found the girl of his dreams in a life-sized doll named Bianca. Lars is completely content with his artificial girlfriend, but when he develops feelings for Margo, an attractive co-worker, Lars finds himself lost in a unique love triangle, hoping to somehow discover the real meaning of true love.

“Deep spirituality isn’t just about having a rigorous meditation practice or reciting spiritual texts correctly. It’s about asking questions and challenging our beliefs and the beliefs of others. Sometimes that means pushing back on things we, at face value, identify as spiritual.” Sharon Salzberg
May 20, 2016 Daily Quote
“Ironically, the aspiration to be ‘spiritual’, regardless of what that means, can get in the way of being present and feeling connected to ourselves. We may be seeking Truth yet committing to the idea of a spiritual journey may involve denying the truth about what we are feeling.” Sharon Salzburg
