Paul Hedderman ~ Traveling Lighter 8-2-22

August 2, 2022

In this program, Paul through the vehicle of Satsang and repetition will be helping us to let go of misidentification and recognize Being Consciousness as our Truth.

Paul suggests repetition through Satsangs is helpful. It is an example of how the dreamING repurposes another programming element, repetition. What was used to (mis)identify, becomes instead a helpful undoing within the dreaming of that identification. The helpfulness of the Message is recognized in what Paul calls “traveling lighter.” In the surrender of an assumed need to escape/improve, the ever-present reality of consciousness already now/here becomes where our interest stays. Being consciousness in contact (in/as/through sensory experiencING), we appreciate being “successful” – already, as that Reality.

You can also learn more about Paul on his website www.zenbitchslap.com or his YouTube channel under the same title (Zen Bitchslap).

Heart Explorations: Embracing the Whole Show~8/2/22

August 2, 2022

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.

Join Us for August’s Satsang with Stan Davis of AHAM

July 30, 2022

This month’s Satsang will be held on Sunday, August 21, 2022 at 7:30 P.M. (EDT) with Stan Davis who will be interviewed by Rev. Karen Worth.

Stan Davis, a former newspaper publisher, serves as the Spiritual and Executive Director of AHAM-the Association of Happiness for All Mankind. He is also an experienced and certified Self-Inquiry (meditation) instructor and trainer with the AHAM, which owns and operates a wooded 40-acre meditation retreat and spiritual training center in Asheboro, NC and a beautiful center in South India. AHAM shares a unique, yet simple and very effective conscious transformational meditation process of awakening called “Self-Inquiry,” sometimes referred to as Awareness Meditation or the “Meditation for anyone…anytime…and anyplace.” He studied and practiced under the personal guidance of AHAM’s founder, an Awakened or Self-realized Teacher. During this time, Stan himself has realized Self-Inquiry as the way to directly and instantly connect with and express from Pure Awareness, I AM or the Source of Being, prior to the ego or body-mind. He now shares this process of real and lasting peace, well-being and fulfillment with those who are ready to receive it, which then becomes their own experience.

Stan’s background in newspaper publishing brought him to discover AHAM and its purpose. Since 1988, he has devoted his life and work to fulfilling that purpose, which is sharing a unique experience and process of awakening with those who are open to receiving it, and who wish to live their lives here-and-now free of all upset, and expressing their highest potential. Shortly after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and surrounding areas in 2005, Stan spent over five months there providing stress relief and stress prevention training to service providers, counselors, medical professionals and law enforcement personnel as well as the general public. Articles about AHAM and its work in New Orleans were published in over 10 major newspapers across the country.

Stan has also given talks and seminars at many Unity and Religious Science churches and other organizations on well over 100 occasions here in the USA and Canada.

AHAM, an acronym for the Association of Happiness for All Mankind, is a non-profit spiritual education/meditation training organization. AHAM’s purpose is the elimination of upset and suffering by the uplifting of consciousness, and the realization of happiness-now or fulfillment lived now as the natural state of Being.

If you would like to submit a question to Stan and can’t watch the interview live, you can suggest one in advance via this link: Post Your Questions for the Satsang Guest Here.
