creative writers meditation… a pathway to truth It's been said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but the right words can bring a thousand pictures to mind, and there are no boundaries. Words can paint a thousand landscapes of worlds real or imagined, or images of events remembered and brought back to life again in our imaginations. The tools can be as simple as pencil on a yellow pad of paper or the full power of the computer keyboards and latest word processor. Bring your thoughts to the next meeting of the Creative Writers Group on Mon., Nov. 7, at 3 pm, in the Main Clubhouse Mulitpurpose Room. We will share our work and offer gentle criticism. We start with a brief and fun exercise to provoke a lively discussion. We meet the first Monday of each month the Multipurpose Room from 3 to 5 pm. Info., Roger, 769-2808. We wonder about the purpose of life… What higher purpose than to discover our True Nature? Meditation, an integral part of proceeding on a path of Self (God) – Realization, promises to do just that. When the mind with its myriad thoughts becomes quiet and still, we can feel what lies beyond. The Pure, Non-Dual (only ONE) Consciousness lies beyond and is our True Eternal Being. Satsang (group meeting with a spiritual aim) begins with a 15 min. meditation followed by a discourse, the subject of which is given below. A short video clip is also presented by a teacher adhering to the same teaching of Non-Duality. As always questions are warmly encouraged. 11/6 Unflinching Honesty with Oneself 11/13 Truth is SO Simple 11/20 That which Fascinates more than anything in this World 11/23 MINI RETREAT: The Teaching of Non-Duality 11/27 Bliss is just right there on the other side of every challenging Experience We meet every Wednesday from 3:30 – 4:45 pm in the Multipurpose Room (next to the Library) in the Main Clubhouse.
