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, March 25th, 2012

Hello all, our human brains tend to see the world in paradigms. The known world was explained with magic before Aristotle, who brought a sense of logic. Around the time of Isaac Newton clockwork perfection and billiard ball physics were the guiding principals. The turn of the last century brought tiny particles and quantum mechanics. Each of these paradigms work to some extent and each has their limits.

What does it take to look not for the next paradigm, which is to say the next broader set of limits, but beyond all paradigms? How is the attitude of being endlessly open attained?

May we sit again this Sunday toward that openness, toward what may be seen, when limits are unknown.

Thank you,

Richard
