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 August 2nd, 2002

Hello to all of you, forgiveness is essential. Without the forgiveness of transgressions there can be no Oneness. You cannot hold another entity in anger, regret, suspicion, or fear, and experience Oneness, for you will have caused separation by doing so. This includes within our own selves. 

So, we hold the key to the gate in our hearts, and the gate is always right before us. 

May we sit this evening to search ourselves for those sometimes large and immediate; and sometimes tiny and ancient bits which hold us apart from one another. The line from the prayer which goes, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" can be understood to mean 'in equal measure.' That we ask to be forgiven to the same extent which we are willing to forgive. Let's give it our all.

Thank you,

Richard
