Come join us on October 27th at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT in the Awakening Together Sanctuary for a discussion of the movie Click.
Join us for this comedy film starring Adam Sandler, as Michael Newman, who seems to have it all! However his wife, Donna (Kate Beckinsale), is increasingly frustrated by the amount of time he has to spend at work. Michael cannot find time to be at home until he meets an eccentric inventor (Christopher Walken) who gives him a universal remote that controls time. At first, he happily skips the boring times until he realizes the remote is in control of his life, and he learns the valuable lesson of cherishing ALL of the precious moments with his family.

For one who rests in his own Self and rejoices in the Self, in whom cravings have ceased and ego-sense is absent, life becomes non-volitional and there is perfect purity. One in millions, however, is able to reach this unconditioned state of pure being.

Review instructions: Spend at least 15 minutes in the morning and evening contemplating today’s lesson. Repeat today’s idea at least hourly. Use today’s idea throughout the day.
Today’s review idea:
I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me.
It can be but myself I crucify.
All that I do I do unto myself. If I attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation will be given me.
Attack is mere justification for self will. It is the desire that things go your way or that heads roll. You want your way and if you don’t get it, someone must pay. That is attack at its essence. It is the continued argument with reality. It is the continued refusal to allow things to be just as they are.
This is the source of our “attack”–these thoughts that my will must be served. We must question “whose will?” It is the one whose will is thwarted whose ire is raised. Would you serve that “one?” In serving that will it is your Self you attack.
Service of that will only ever brings suffering and discontent. We will learn this lesson until we are no longer willing to abide in suffering. All attack results in our own suffering. You simply will not find an instance where this is not true.
Today, look at this truth with open eyes and make the clear choice to let go of the attack habit.
Regina Dawn Akers reads from the Tao Te Ching in order to contemplate enlightened leadership.
Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert shares with honesty and passion about the ups, downs, and all-around of the spiritual journey. Jacquelyn is transparent as she shares about the impersonal awakening process we all experience. She moves us with stories from her own journey, with direct insight from inner wisdom and with guidance from spiritual masters, both contemporary and legendary.
Anne Blanchard shares her experience of purification and awakening, unfiltered and as it happens. Raw, reflective, brave, and infused with clarity.
Anne’s open honesty inspires us all to dive deep into the spiritual journey instead of simply skimming the surface.
