Join us at 6:00 pm ET/ 4:00 pm MT for Something Genuine with Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert

Rev. Jacquelyn Eckert facilitates this program, in which Awakening Together members and friends join together to watch and discuss TED talks that reveal the Truth of ourselves and our universe based on the actual experience of ordinary people. Their insights are genuine—not based upon theory or dogma—and give us a “man on the street” perspective on what we are coming to learn through Awakening Together.

Join us at 7:00 pm ET/ 5:00 pm MT for The Guiding Light with Rev. Regina Dawn Akers *Recording

Regina Dawn Akers reads selections from the book Perfect Brilliant Stillness by David Carse. The purpose of this inspired book study is to learn to stop focusing on words and concepts.

Join us at 8:00 pm ET/ 6:00 pm MT for the Replay of Seven Steps to Awakening Audios with Regina

In this series of teachings, originally airing on Awakening Together beginning in 2012, Regina Dawn Akers shares her contemplation of the quotes compiled by Michael Langford in The Seven Steps to Awakening. The Seven Steps to Awakening is a powerful collection of quotes on the subject of how to directly experience the true Self, whose nature is Infinite-Eternal-Awareness-Love-Bliss, and how to bring the impostor self, its tricks, and all suffering to a final end in this lifetime.

Plan to join us for a rediscovery of timeless wisdom that came through Regina Dawn Akers as she shared her profound journey with this powerful book.

 

*Sanctuary now closes at a new time of 9 pm ET.

Thoughts of Awakening # 256

You are always led from within,
and you are always answered from within.

When you say “thank you,”
direct your gratitude toward the Heart.
Allow a moment of silence
to follow your words.

Likewise, when you are angry or annoyed,
look inside for the cause.

You are always led from within,
so if there is an error that is causing you pain
the error can be found
and eradicated
by looking within.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 255

One cannot figure out
“What am I?”
One cannot know the answer
through thinking.

One can only see the thinking and say,
“Not that,”
while realizing the true answer
is beyond all thought,
inexpressible by words alone.

Knowledge is direct experience.
Direct experience is knowledge.

By asking “What am I?”
and accepting nothing less than knowledge,
you invite direct experience.

Have confidence.
Direct experience will answer.

~From our Holy Spirit
