Heart Explorations: Embracing the Whole Show ~12/19/23

December 19, 2023

During our time together, we will explore what it takes to live from an open, undefended heart.  Naturally, any true exploration of living from the heart necessarily entails taking a deep and sustained look at what prevents us from keeping our hearts open.  Grounded in the knowledge that the essence of us, our true nature, is the very lovingness within us all, we will explore how to recognize and release egoic energies by cultivating open-hearted awareness practices which support us in directly experiencing our true Self.  By leaning into willingness, steeped in self-honesty, and with a consistent dash of courage, we endeavor to open to whatever life brings, as it brings it, that is, on life’s terms.  In so doing, we trust that everything – absolutely everything – is here for us to use for healing, for purification, and for learning to live from the heart.  We look forward to supporting each other in our individual explorations of how we truly embrace the entirety of this show we call life.

To deepen further into the teachings from Heart Exploration here’s a link to the Being Aware of Awareness meditation podcast.  In these meditations, the reading from Heart Explorations is contemplated.

Rev. Michelle Costa Featured on Miracle Voices Podcast

December 18, 2023

We are thrilled to announce that one or our ministers, Rev. Michelle Costa, is featured on episode 110 of the Miracle Voices Podcast, titled “Gentle Awakening Together“. In this special episode, Michelle shares her profound story of forgiveness, a journey from deep-seated animosity to embracing love and understanding.

In the episode, Michelle shares two stories of forgiveness. The first is the story of forgiveness in her marriage and the second story is of forgiveness with her mother. Many of you might recall, from her recent inspiring homily, the forgiveness that resonates deeply with the teachings of “A Course in Miracles” – emphasizing how the most sacred places on earth are those where longstanding hatred is transformed into present love. Michelle’s narrative is a powerful testament to this belief, as she eloquently describes her personal evolution from harboring ‘ancient hatred’ to finding a path towards love and reconciliation.

Don’t miss this opportunity to go deeper into your own journey and gain insights into the transformative power of forgiveness. Tune in to the Miracle Voices Podcast, episode 110, “Gentle Awakening Together”, and join Michelle in exploring the transformative journey from hatred to love.

Tao Te Ching, “CH. 26, Heedful Leadership

December 17, 2023

Awakening Together’s Vice President-Minister, Rev. Rhoda Makled, and Rev. David Hemphill share from the Tao as they contemplate its principles in order to fully embody them.

The Tao Te Ching (The Way), written by Lao-Tzu (Old Teacher), is a guide to enlightened leadership. While most people believe effective leadership lies in knowledge and power, the Tao teaches it lies in emptiness, stillness, and presence.

The pair are using three books including interpretations by Derek Lin, Wayne Wang, and Stephen Mitchell. And now they are excited to add Regina’s translation to their contemplations of the Tao and you are invited to join them each Sunday.

Taught Live in the Sanctuary Weekly on Sundays 6:00 – 7:00 pm ET

Awakening Together Satsang with Rev. Karen Worth

Satsang Reflections

Rev. Karen Worth was interviewed by Laura “Joy” Bedford.

Rev. Karen’s journey towards understanding began in 2006 while standing at her mailbox. As The Course in Miracles teaches, “The wish to see calls down the grace of God upon your eyes and brings the gift of light that makes sight possible” (25:6:3:1). It was at this moment that Grace intervened, and Rev. Karen came to a profound realization that her mind could be her downfall if she didn’t make a change. This marked the beginning of her path of surrendering to the truth.

Her journey started by working with the subconscious mind through Centerpoint Holosync meditation. She then progressed to working with the conscious mind through Vipassana meditations, A Course in Miracles (ACIM), and eventually Self Inquiry. Alongside these practices, she sought guidance from various gurus and teachers. It was during this time that she met Regina at a local ACIM meeting, which led her to further explorations, including ACIM gatherings, the CMC Ministerial program, Awakening Together’s MPP, Ramana Maharishi’s teachings, Michael Langford’s insights, and AHAM meditation and retreat center.

In 2018, Karen dedicated several weeks to a Rupert Spira meditation on Existence. She was determined to grasp the essence of Rupert’s teachings before moving forward. During a walk, she posed a profound question to her mind: “If I’m not the body, then what exists?” Everything came to a halt as her mind grappled with the question and eventually surrendered, realizing that it did not exist as a distinct identity. There was only existence. This revelation echoed the words of Moses, “I am that I AM.”

As a community, our mission is to guide individuals toward self-reliance on their inner wisdom, and Rev. Karen Worth exemplifies the heart of this mission through her personal journey of aligning with her inner wisdom. She shared how her path evolved from being an “Awakening Together member with a seeker identity” to experiencing the shedding of various identities.

Here are the various links to different tools that Rev. Karen used over the years:

CMC is referring to the Community Miracles Center in San Francisco, CA
HTtp://www.miracles-course.org
AHAM is the Association of Happiness for All Mankind
http://aham.com
Holosync is made by Center Pointe,  it’s meditation with software with unconscious mind tracks in it.
https://www.centerpointe.com/what-is-holosync/
Jan Spiller’s book is Astrology of the Soul
https://www.amazon.com/Astrology-Soul-Bantam-Classics-Spiller/dp/0553378384/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=jan+spiller+astrology+for+the+soul&sr=8-1

12-17-23 Weekly Gathering, “Tis the Season to Focus on…Inquiry!”

December 17, 2023

George Maddox

Topic: “Tis the Season to Focus on…Inquiry!”

Description: Inquiry is probably the last thing on most people’s minds in this holiday season. And yet, it may be the most valuable present you can give to yourself. From Angelo’s book Awake: It’s Your Turn: “What if I told you there was one particular approach to investigating your true nature that is so potent, so incisive, that it makes all others pale in comparison? Well, it’s true. The approach I’m referring to is inquiry.” Rev. George explored this process called inquiry.

Reading: Melissa Sternhill read from Awake: It’s Your Turn, chapter 15 pages 378-384, ending at the heading “Deceptive Simplicity”.
