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, December 12th, 2010

Hello all, the economic successes of the 80's and 90's supported a desire for abundant consumerism. Those years are often pointed to proudly as a highlight, yet the fuller results are only now being felt. Because of them we are currently dealing with a huge dependence upon foreign oil with attendant wars and massive federal deficit, poisonous hydrofracking for natural gas, a garbage patch the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean, and a world wide economic collapse to name a few. All can easily be traced to an 'I want everything' attitude, with no greater thought toward the future than 'more will come somehow'.
 
It's often said "mind is the builder". That which we dwell on mentally becomes our physical reality, for better or worse. We have the freedom to think as we will - and the responsibility to learn from results.
 
Will we have the humility to review our attitudes? Or will we drown in our own garbage?
 
This Sunday may we sit for learning, for lessons, for humility. May the Light come down upon our leaders and decision makers, which in many ways is us. May we all listen within. May we all focus on Above and act accordingly here below.
 
Thank you,
 
Richard
