Greetings!
I would say the hierarchy has made terrible
errors in judgment and it has to
seek forgiveness by its members.
~ William P. Leahy

The Soul's Journey to Love and Freedom August's sub-theme: The Veil Lifting:Passionate Seeing August's archetype: Visionary
"In form you are the microcosm,
but in reality you are the macrocosm."
- Rumi

 THIS SUNDAY August 17, 2014 10:30am-11:30am
"Merging the Linear and Circular Paradigms-Part II of the Mandala Labyrinth Journey"
with Ellen Swanson
The Mandala Labyrinth Journey brings a vision, with visuals, for how the linear paradigm can become healthier and can be merged with the circular paradigm in an interdependent manner.
Bring your "Two Paradigms" chart handout from July 6 along back to this service to ease your viewing and save us the printing expense.
|
August 24, 2014
10:30am-11:30am
"The Veil Lifting, Passionate Seeing: Become the Archetype- The Visionary"
with Rev. Ron Moor
Once we begin to realize how we have been conditioned, and once we can see past the old paradigms, we begin to perceive with fresh eyes. We become a seer, a visionary. We deepen in love. We see from the future into the now. As Rumi said, " O amazing Love! Let me sing of your wonders. With these words let me open a door into light". Ron will present with sacred chant, luminous images and inspirational poetry.

Words of Wisdom found by Shannon
A Simple Recipe for Positive Change Start with motivations towards sustainability, add knowledge and sense of community, then stir it all together through direct action. Sustainability-Knowledge-Community-Action: the 4 basic tenets to a better world.
 | |
The Golden Circle is the recipe in its simplest form.
|
The Golden Circle embodies the pattern of change. It outlines the order in which humans biologically make decisions.
THE WHY: Sustainability. Sustainablity is just one of human's primal motivations - and is therefore our first ingredient.
It inspires us to be more mindful and conscious of the world and our impact on it. It reminds us of a greater purpose, a bigger subset of existence than just us ourselves, and it humbles us to be less selfish and more caring for those around us.
THE HOW: Knowledge within community. Knowledge is exceptionally important because human behavior comes about based on our assumptions and perceived truths of the world around us, which is inevitably informed by the knowledge we hold. It is our perspective of what we think we know that shapes how we act.
Great change takes place only when we come together as a community holding new knowledge to keep us from repeating what has not worked in the past.
THE WHAT: Action. (When) we focus our energy and intent towards sustainable and ecologically conscious solutions, we will guide change towards the future we believe in. The What in this case refers to the various solutions we as humans can take to solve any issue.
Action is the glue that ties all of these other elements together - it's what makes our collective purpose come to life. We might all have different routes and roles - some are more active than others - but we are all nonetheless a part of this greater change.
It is absolutely essential that we actively participate and fill our role within this process for change. We must realize that our responsibility as humans is to preserve the balance of the universe around us.
(The secret ingredient: TIME. There are many ways to take action, but only one right time-NOW.)
This is from The Valhalla Movement is a movement of people who are actively combining these 4 ingredients into actively building the world we KNOW is possible in our hearts TODAY.
