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 April 17th, 2016

Hello everyone, it doesn't matter what the "ism" may be, conservatism, liberalism, socialism, democrat-ism, republican-ism, or any of the seemingly endless supply of varying ideologues, they are all a product of human thought. And human thought, being a product of material experience and observation, guided by opinions formed in the material world, is necessarily a limited, limiting process. 

We tend to cling tightly to our thinking as if it were our only precious saving grace. Yet, we are actually permeated with and supported by a far greater existence. Our built-in access portal to this existence is through the heart. 

Our compassion for and kindness toward others is our true saving grace in this world. Our ability to connect with compassion and express it to others is unlimited, except by our own thoughts and ideology. 

May we sit this evening for our true saving grace. May we find our hearts and the greater intelligence it offers. May our journey through this world be a blessing to all, and thereby to us.

Thank you all,

Richard
