About Heart Sessions

Hello all. This blog is intended to honor the group meditations initiated by Tom Sawyer, now carried on by friends of his since his passing. Being physically spread out as we are we have agreed to sit down in our own homes at the same clock time, 9pm EST on Sunday nights. We sit for at least 20 minutes, although sitting for longer periods is no problem if you so choose.


There is no specified technique for these meditations. Precisely prescribed actions sometimes become unauthentic and what is meaningful for one person may not be for another. So if you choose to assist you may use a favored technique or listen within, apply self-honesty, and allow growth. There is no political or economic agenda involved. There are no dues or dogma. The essential point is an honest willingness to help.


Each week there is a suggested focus as posted on this blog. We previously had been using an email list but now, through the kind assistance and generous guidance of Barbara Whitfield and Donald Brennan, we have the pleasure of this blog forum. Loving thanks to you both. Comments may be left by clicking the "Leave Comments Here" link below each post.

For Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Hello all, the political concept of creating a distraction, perhaps the perception of a common enemy, or enhancing an uncertain fear, in order to avoid focusing on more immediate problems while still gaining a political foothold, is not new. It has been practiced across the globe and through the years, often leading to holocaust, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. Crafted by a few, for their personal gain, the suffering is shared by millions.
 
This Sunday may we sit for those who craft such plans, for those willing to be swept up in the fervor, and for the innocent. May the Light come down upon them. May they seek a higher calling. May we see ourselves as one human family.
 
Thank you,
 
Richard
