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 October 30th, 2016

Hello everyone, in our political strife having anger at the other side is not only common but often encouraged, and used for great effect.  Yet if we hold to the truth of Oneness then we have to ask, "Is anger ever justified?" The moment we are moved to protect an idea, a belief, dogma, something you demand, or something you hold, that very protection indicates anger. And our level of anger is a pretty good measurement of our personal distance away from living Oneness. 

Is it possible see anger under the heading of 'it just is' – that is, without defending or condemning it? Can we get enough distance to see it as an indicator of our own personal awareness?

May we sit this Sunday for 'clear vision', the ability to see without bias or limitation; to see ourselves as we are; to see society as it is; to see ourselves lovingly despite all frailties. 

Respectfully submitted,

Richard
