Kate shares her experience, poetry, and life with us as she goes about the business of giving up her ideas about herself and the world on her journey toward purification and awakening. Kate shares with wisdom and humor and allows us a glimpse into the beautiful and sometimes messy blossoming of life examined with an eye on Truth.
Michael DeForbes led our Sunday morning meditation. Michael is a student of Helen Hamilton. His guided meditations are based on the direct path, which is an integral part of our teachings here at Awakening Together.
Enjoy this powerful, deep meditation into ever-present peace and the now of the Noumenon which had the theme of embracing all aspects of the self.
The participants from the recent Inspired Clarity Retreat with Regina Dawn Akers shared from their hearts all the clarity, shifts in perspective, and breakthroughs that came forth from the daily contemplations that were provided by Regina.
Also, in what ways the in-person retreat offered them a rich experience with the daily excursions in hiking and being in nature in La Veta, Colorado, and what it was like to be in the company of other like-minded beings on this nondual path of awakening.

NTI Hebrews asks you to be the leader of your own awakening. Yesterday we saw that you lead yourself to awakening through faith in truth, because whatever you have faith in is extended to you through the creative principle.
Today’s reading is a summary of tips written to one who has decided to lead his/her way to awakening. I recommend taking notes as you read today. Taking notes will help you remember today’s tips. You can also review your notes, which will further aid in remembering the tips.
There is one tip I would like to highlight from today’s reading. It says:
Have compassion for yourself,
and be firm in your [true] desire.
The ego does not know how to be firm for something and have compassion when you “fail” in your intentions too. The ego either chooses not to be firm, because if it doesn’t make the decision to be firm it doesn’t have to worry about failing, or the ego makes a firm decision and then judges harshly each time you do not meet your own expectations.
The heart is naturally firm for truth and always compassionate regarding errors. In this context, the heart can be defined as “awareness with natural intention.”
For example, when a baby is learning to walk, that baby is awareness with the natural intention to walk. It is firm in its intention to walk. It also does not harshly judge its falls as failures. Interestingly, the baby’s heart is so perfectly set on the intention to walk, the baby doesn’t need to have compassion when it falls. There is absolutely no judgment in the baby’s pure intended-awareness, so there is no need for compassion. However, in your case there may be judgment when you slip or fall. When there is judgment, be compassionate (forgiving) with yourself.
Note: The next tip will be available tomorrow morning after 3:50am ET at this link.
The peace of God
is inherent within;
Always present,
Always abiding,
Always here and now.
All you must do
is look for it
with love
and desire
and devotion.
It cannot hide
from one who seeks it earnestly,
because the peace of God
is all pervading.
~From our Holy Spirit
