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, May 15th, 2011

Hello all, one model of human psychology states that initially there exists a desire within a person. At some point, immediately or after some years, there comes a decision to act upon a particular desire. At that point the human brain begins searching for a form of justification for taking the action. After a justification is found, or sometimes even conjured up, the desire is acted upon. There is no proof for this other than personal self-honesty, but that alone can be quite convincing.

Many people talk of 'setting an intention' in life goals, which is done on the conscious thinking level. Yet it may be more beneficial to find the true intention or what is happening at the level of desire, deeper than all justification, to see what is truly driving us.
 
May we sit this evening for that self-honesty, that deep seeing which reveals our desires, in order to see our truest intentions.
 
Thank you,
 
Richard
