A universal assembly for true discernment
Regina Dawn Akers shares the games she played as part of her awakening process. The games she played came to her as insight as she read and contemplated spiritual teachings.
We recommend you practice each game for one week. After practicing the game for one full week, move on to the next Awakening Game.

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert and Connie Poole play Regina Dawn Akers’ Early Teaching videos and invite those in attendance to contemplate those teachings along with them.
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.

Here’s a link to next week’s RDA Early Teaching that will be played: Learning Truth Through Miracles, Part 1
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.

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 Loving Consciousness Method of meditation and the Loving All Method practice were developed by Michael Langford as Direct Path practices that will help you awaken (end the ego illusion) in this lifetime.

Weekly Sunday Gathering with Rev. Meghan Reinhart
Title: “The Parable of the Barren Womb”
Description: Rev. Meg contemplated a metaphor for the illusion of self and the nature of consciousness. The concept of ‘I Am’ is understandable as long as it exists as a concept. However, once it merges into its original state, there is no longer a subject who desires to know. The illusory entity disappears, and the root of consciousness becomes the focus of inquiry. All actions are carried out by the child of a barren woman, and all problems are those of consciousness. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the nature of our existence to uncover the source of consciousness.
Reading: Audrey Whitehead read The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI) Revelations, Chapter 1, and an excerpt from Nisargadatta Maharaj’s “A Barren Woman”.
