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 January 13th, 2013

Hello everyone, Neil Douglas-Klotz, a renowned Aramaic scholar, makes the point that Jesus could not have said, "I am the Light" because there is no word for "am" in Aramaic. He goes on to claim that the proper translation ought to be, "I, I, the Light". He clarifies this by saying it's a statement which refers to the smaller, Earthly, personal "I" becoming in alignment with the larger, spiritual "I" of our greater being, and that is how we become One with the Light.

So, rather than being a statement about himself, it was meant to be a statement of guidance.

This Sunday, may we sit in accordance with that guidance. May we sit for our smaller selves to recognize the guidance of our higher selves, that our higher guidance become more clear, that we join in the greater experience of the One.

Thank you all,

Richard
