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 December 1st, 2019

Hello everyone, there are thousands of years of teachings about how to make the world a better place. They all agree on how to do it – make yourself better.

If every drop of ocean water could and would self clean, the entire world's oceans would be immaculate.

May we sit this Sunday for the beauty, insight, wisdom, and love required to self-clean. May we see ourselves clearly and have the courage to act. May our inner work be in keeping with Divine Will.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, Vincent Van Gogh says. "The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides, and in its depths it has its pearls too." 

Harsh antagonistic attitudes of individuals create the storms. The swing and sway of public opinion can be as regular as the tides. And the pearls, the true pearls of the heart are found in the many strangers who pitch in to help each other in times of disaster. 

May we sit this Sunday for those who are caught up in natural disasters, for those caught up in disasters of their own making, and for the beautiful friends and strangers who willingly dive in to be of help.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, science tells us that all the planets, stars, and galaxies are in their exact positions because all of the others are in their own exact positions. It is the great harmony of nature, the great balance inherent within Universal Consciousness.

Humans, with the free will to separate themselves from Universal Consciousness, have drawn themselves out of balance with a love of power, wealth, and the various attractions of material sensations.

Yet the connection to Universal Consciousness is still there. It can be found in an appreciation of nature, the laughter of a child, and in meditation.

May we sit this evening for our own connection. May we find our internal balance. May we 'set things right' within our own hearts.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello to all, the entities of the higher realms have an exquisite love for us, in spite of some horrific human foibles on our part. The depth and purity of their love allows them the ability to accept our shortcomings.

We would do well to try for the same. If we strive to look lovingly upon those who do harm, as we are loved, we bring ourselves closer to the prophesied goal of Oneness on Earth. 

May we sit this evening for the ability to reach beyond our limited foibles. May we find a love which encompasses all. May Divine Will be our constant guide.

Thank you all,

Richard

Hello everyone, the preciousness of life doesn't change. We can have good days and difficult times. We can have personal glory and be made to feel a fool. But the preciousness of life remains.

We have been gifted with a place to get this schooling, to learn such lessons. We've been given an opportunity to apply ourselves to grace in difficult times.

Let us sit this Sunday with the awareness of where we are, of what we've been given, and of what we've been challenged with; to bring the beauty of heaven into this world.

Thank you to all who bring good news,

Richard
