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 November 2nd, 2025

Hello to all who face the light. I've mentioned this before but it feels worth stating again. After Anwar Sadat's NDE, he began instituting changes in Egyptian society. The education of women was only a small part of what proved to be intolerable to fundamentalists at the time. He was assassinated for it.

We face similar attitudes today. No matter how nice it sounds to say all people should be treated fairly, the application of it irritates those who conjure up racial, financial, and legal justifications for not doing so.

Our job, those of us who look toward a more loving future, is to grasp how hard it is for those who are stuck in old paradigms to see the world anew. For them to change their attitudes is a very long journey.

Tonight may we sit being aware of what we face. May we see the recalcitrant ones lovingly, as children do who help other children to complete a task. We're all in this together, and we all need to help one another through it.

Blessings on us all,

Richard
