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 26th, 2013

Hello all, from the point of view of spirituality we are eternal creatures going through a temporary learning process. This process has lessons of great intensity and for good reason. It gives 'weight' to our learning. Just as struggling makes accomplishing worthwhile, our difficulties deepen the learning process. The 'veil' between this world and the next keeps us engaged here in the physical while working toward the spiritual, rather than pining dreamily after it.

From the chaos of natural disasters to the quagmire of political / human relations we are thoroughly bathed in a 'school of Light'. Each one of us has a part, and we pass at our own speed. May we sit this Sunday for complete fulfillment. May those involved in horrendous difficulties find strength and courage. May we do our part to assist. May that which is Loving be expressed in words and actions towards ourselves and others, whenever needed.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, as we experience the world being tested by disruptive forces, the Boston Marathon bombing and such, it's important to remain personally centered. As those who are spiritually lost seek to spread the lower influences of anger, fear, and revenge we ought not join in. It's a con-job, trying to drag us into their world view. Human justice must take it's course, yes, but the act of maintaining true compassion for all those involved will assist the world most in the long run.

May we sit this Sunday for the higher influences of the Creative Forces to be expressed in this world; expressed in thoughts, words, and actions; the attitudes of all.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello everyone, the ongoing difficulties surrounding North Korea's nuclear arms program reminds us that a desire for external power is based on fear. As numerous talks, negotiations, decisions, and political stances continue may we sit for a move beyond fear. May we sit for the Light of the Creative Source to come down on those involved. May we sit for movement toward a spiritual perspective and fulfillment.

Thank you,

Richard

Hello all, here's a quote from an Edgar Cayce reading: "Be glad you have the opportunity to be alive at this time, and to be a part of that preparation for the coming influences of a spiritual nature that must rule the world. These are indicated, and these are part of thy experience. Be happy of it, and give thanks daily for it."
Reading 2376-3

With all the difficulties in the world it's easy to lose sight of the overall picture, that we are involved in a spiritual process. While the outcome is sure and unwavering the path itself is chosen daily by attitudes and actions. The above quote is a fine reminder to accept the world as it is and still do our part. May we sit this evening for the strength and courage to maintain our spiritual aims amidst mayhem.

Thank you,

Richard
