Heart Explorations: Embracing the Whole Show ~ 8/15/23
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.

8-13-23 Weekly Gathering “I-did-it-y: Accepting Falsity Is Happening”
Title: “I-did-it-y: Accepting Falsity Is Happening”
Description: Rev. Rhoda shares she doesn’t know when or how it started, but accepting falsity is often happening and happening unconsciously. Often the question that comes up is “Why does it keep happening?” Rev. Rhoda examined identification and its multi-layered appearances. Knowing why doesn’t change anything but noticing when accepting the false as true is happening…well, that’s the gift.
Reading: Joy Bedford read excerpts from Chapter 11, Mind-Identification from Angelo Dilullo’s book Awake: It’s Your Turn.
OR
Tao Te Ching, Ch. 16 “The Way of Enlightenment”
Awakening Together’s President-Minister, Jacquelyn Eckert, and Vice President-Minister, Rhoda Makled 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
