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, October 24th, 2010

Hello all, early on in our country's history politics attracted the 'best and brightest' of each generation. The sense of crafting a country for the good of all was large. However, during the past 50-100 years the lures of money, fame and power has increased. Politics has become big business, the public is manipulated for personal gains, and a toll has been taken. These days very few people who are heartfelt and intelligent would choose such a career. The proper combination of political shrewdness and personal compassion is rare. Gandhi, Lincoln, and Mandela come to mind though there are and have been others.

With elections coming let us sit this Sunday for those who seek office and for those who cast their votes. May the Light come down that we choose wisely and fulfill our greater calling.

Thank you,

Richard
