Letting Eternity Dawn Upon Our Mind
Undoing the belief in time is one of the more difficult beliefs to undo. It is also tied to the concept of fixation.
A mind can be fixated* at a point in development that does not accord with a point in time. This is a means toward real release from the time belief.
A Course in Miracles UR Text [* refers to Freud’s exploration of the concept of fixation].
During these two sessions while Anne is on vacation, we will gently unpack exceptional pointings to release our mind from the time belief and investigate whether or not it is accurate that our True Self (The Light/Christ Mind) is always fixated on Divine Love. Only our subconscious and/or conscious desire to want to keep hold of the imposter “I” (ego filter) and its associated thoughts causes us to overlook the presence of the Divine and Its astoundingly intense love and zero point set within our mind. Anne will be back next week with Heart Explorations.
Cancelled Today: 3:00 to 5:00 pm – Gentle Healing Year 1 – Facilitated by Rev. Diane Scott
Rev. Dianne Scott guides a group of committed students who would like to make consistent, gentle progress toward genuine peace, joy, and love. This group meets weekly and all members are committed to specific assignments and practices between group meetings. Everyone willing to commit to healing/awakening is invited to join this group.
11:00 am – 6:30 pm The Sanctuary is Closed.
5:30 pm – Debut: Discovering Presence: Exploring ‘Awake, It’s Your Turn.’
The debut of this program is postponed until Sept 3. Join us for an engaging and insightful study group as we explore “Awake: It’s Your Turn” by Angelo DiLullo. Each week, a new facilitator will lead the discussion. We welcome everyone to join us in this journey of awakening and self-discovery. Participants are also encouraged to take a turn facilitating the discussion, making this a collaborative and enriching experience for all. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together! Whether you are new to these teachings or a seasoned practitioner, this group promises to offer valuable insights with meaningful connections.
The sisters will play Regina Dawn Akers’ Early Teaching videos and invite those in attendance to contemplate the teachings along with them.
Regina completed a YouTube playlist featuring 275 videos focusing on the “essence” of her early teachings. They are a treasure trove of insight into the practices and understanding that illuminated her path to awakening. Regina compiled the teachings by trimming down her early teaching audios to highlight the core components of the guidance she received early in her journey. Because these teachings are so helpful, Jacquelyn and Connie plan to slowly review them by playing one or two of them each week and contemplating them in a group format.
7:30 pm – Postponed: Living Emptiness Out Loud.
The debut of this program is postponed until Sept 10.
Join Revs. Joanne, Kelly, and Rhoda for our new program, “Living Emptiness Out Loud.”
Together, we will embark on a journey to discover what it means to live from the
emptiness that is our true nature. Each time we join, either Joanne, Kelly, or Rhoda will
share their current contemplations, offering the Sangha an opportunity to explore and
reflect from their own Inner Wisdom. This exploration invites us to deeply and
persistently examine the barriers that prevent us from being with emptiness, grounded
in the understanding that our true nature is what moves us all while we remain open and
ready to be moved.
We will delve into recognizing and releasing egoic energies by cultivating practices of
authentic self-honesty and awareness. These practices and contemplations will be
shared as we uncover the direct experience of our true Self.
With a foundation of willingness, self-honesty, and a steady dose of courage, we
embrace whatever comes forth through emptiness, accepting it as it is. In doing so, we
trust that everything we encounter is an opportunity for healing, purification, and
learning to live from the heart of emptiness. Together (with the Sangha), we will support
each other in our personal journeys to fully embrace and engage with the rich tapestry
of life.
The Sanctuary will close at 7:30 pm ET/5:30 pm MT tonight
