Join us at 10:15 am ET/ 8:15 am MT for Our Weekly Sunday Gathering with Rev. Regina Dawn Akers

Title: “When the Ego Gets Vicious”

Description: A Course in Miracles says, “The ego is therefore capable of suspiciousness at best and viciousness at worst,” and that the ego is “particularly likely to attack you when you react lovingly…” In this weekly gathering, Rev. Regina Dawn Akers will look at ego backlash, the viciousness that can show up when we “react lovingly.” What is ego backlash? What causes it? What can we do about it? These are some of the questions Regina will answer as she shares about “when the ego gets vicious.”

Reading: Rev. Nyki Dobson will read excerpts from The Holy Spirit’s Interpretation of the New Testament (NTI) Acts, Chapters 7 & 8.

 

*Weekly gathering is held every Sunday morning at 10:15 am ET/8:15 am MT in the Awakening Together Sanctuary. Join us after the Gathering for our Fellowship Time, hosted by Rev. Saina Fernandez.

Thoughts of Awakening # 249

Love is a total experience
without separation.

In Love, there is not one who knows love
and one that is the object of love;
for in one who knows and object
there is separation,
which breaks apart the fullness
of total experience.

Total experience
has no parts broken apart
and not fully known,
as an object cannot be fully known
by its perceiver.

Love is a total experience,
and in total experience
all is known fully.

~From our Holy Spirit

Thoughts of Awakening # 248

That which cannot be understood
can be known.
To be known
it must not be filtered by unknowingness,
which is the mind.

The mind accepts and rejects.
What it rejects,
you choose not to know.

Let go of this acceptance
and rejection mechanism.
Rest without thought,
and discover what is known.

~From our Holy Spirit

Rev. Helen Avery is an Awakening Together Ordained Minister. She shares weekly in our Sanctuary with a half-hour of heart-felt deep-diving into truth, love, and awareness. This candid sharing is a time when Helen explores different modalities and teachings with various non-dual teachers and how the real-life application of those particular teachings is currently showing up in her life. She shares about experiences from her path of awakening including the demonstration of how to utilize these helpful processes and spiritual tools. In her most recent Awakening journey, she discusses radical truth and wisdom from teachers such as Mooji and Helen Hamilton.
