Introducing this Month’s Movie ~ “Hidden: A Life All For God”

Join us for our next Movie Watcher’s Group which will be facilitated by Sami Ross on Sunday, December 22nd, 2024, at 8 pm ET/6 pm MT.

Hidden: A Life All For God is a documentary about the Trappistine Sisters at Mount Saint Mary’s Abbey in Wrentham, MA. They lead simple consecrated lives of prayer as lived in the heart of the Church. This documentary offers a glimpse of their daily lives.

On the heels of the Pray without Ceasing retreat, this movie demonstrates what a calling to a life of prayer looks like through these women. When the external “form” is set aside—a genuine answer to the question “What do you truly want?” begins to emerge. The documentary explores clear and compelling themes, including the impact of silence and prayer, the relationship with God and community, and the journey of spiritual growth.

Reflecting on her experience, Sami shares: “ The valuable mind-watching aspect for me is to notice and acknowledge what is triggered in me around judgments of religion, church and lifestyle. I came to see that these sisters and I speak the same language using different terms.”

Hidden: A Life All for God is available free on YouTube.

ACIM Manual For Teachers — Section 12: How Many Teachers of God Are Needed to Save the World?

How Many Teachers of God Are Necessary To Save the World?

Listen to Mediation Recording.

A contemplation excerpt:

Oneness and sickness/separateness cannot coexist. God’s teachers choose to look on dreams a while. It is a conscious choice. For they have learned that all choices are made consciously, with full awareness of their consequences. The dream says otherwise, but who would put his faith in dreams once they are recognized for what they are? Awareness of dreaming is the real function of God’s teachers… Awareness of dreaming is the real function of God’s teachers.

“Pray Without Ceasing”, was a 5-day online retreat, facilitated by Rev. Anne Blanchard. During this retreat, participants contemplated what it means to pray, to whom or to what do we pray, and most importantly, how to cultivate and sustain a deep and enduring regular practice of prayer.

During this program, the retreat participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences and insights. They will also be discussing any breakthroughs and wisdom gained from the retreat.

All are welcome to join!

ACIM Manual For Teachers — Section 11: How Is Peace Possible In This World?

How Is Peace Possible In This World?

Listen to Mediation Recording.

A contemplation excerpt:

After reading this through twice I asked what is peace? And what I found was peace is knowing the truth of what I am and trusting that. And so I could replace the word peace with “knowing the truth of what I am and trusting” as I read through this.

And so the question is “How is Knowing the truth of what I am and trusting it possible in this world?”

ACIM Manual For Teachers — Section 10: How Is Judgment Relinquished?

How Is Judgment Relinquished?

Listen to Mediation Recording.

A contemplation excerpt:

Remember how many times you thought you knew all the “facts” you needed for judgment, and how wrong you were! Is there anyone who has not had this experience? Would you know how many times you merely thought you were right, without ever realizing you were wrong? Why would you choose such an arbitrary basis for decision making? Wisdom is not judgment; it is the relinquishment of judgment.

This program is Awakening Together’s In the Company of Truth with Helen Hamilton which airs on the first Wednesday monthly from 3-4 pm ET.  Helen’s core message is that the Realization of the True Self is possible for everyone, no matter what background you may have as long as you want it more than anything else. After all, we are only returning to our natural state, to what we already are. We are only coming to live as that Truth consciously.

Having reached a place of total peace, love, and joy, Helen has dedicated her life to helping others wake up too. The Truth is here and now and accessible to all. Helen will offer her teachings in this monthly Satsang to help you realize and BE the Self you already are.

Rhoda ~ Living the Undefended Surrender Experiment, “The Experience of Dehumanizing” 12-04-2024

Listen to the Recording

With humor, love, and open-hearted awareness Rev. Rhoda Makled is exploring her own take on the Surrender Experiment as coined by Michael Singer. Raw, authentic, and faithful she is uncovering the path to living in the undefended Heart.

Rev. Rhoda will dig into topics she is exploring in her life such as what it means to live the experiment of being surrendered. Feeling every feeling and seeing every thought she can, Rhoda will share the journey of studying, journaling, contemplating, being inspired by, and surrendering to Truth. Inspired by so many teachers including those here at Awakening Together, Rhoda will share her contemplations and invites you to come and discuss your experience with your own surrender experiment. This undefended dialogue with Inner Wisdom is just one more way to observe as the self is undone–the intention being to leave space only for awareness of Awareness and release everything that covers Truth.

In this program, Rev. Rhoda will explore the teachings of Michael Singer, Regina Dawn Akers, Paul Hedderman, Roger Castillo, Helen Hamilton, and many more.
