30 | sun lakes lIfestyles | July 2014 | soCIal Clubs & groups | sun lakes lIfestyles | July 2014 | 31 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. 7/2 Everything changes and passes in this world; that is how we know it is Not Real 7/9 The AWARENESS we all possess IS our True and Everlasting Nature 7/16 "Intimations of Immortality" 7/23 Subsidence in the Heart signifies the end of Seeking 7/30 Suffering is adherence to Mind – a collection of thoughts and ideas we define as a separate 'Me' We meet every Wednesday from 2:30 to 3:45 pm in the Multipurpose Room (next to the Library) in the Main Clubhouse. This is a FREE offering. My background includes 29 years of formal spiritual practice under the guidance of two masters and six years of teaching (two at Sun Lakes).
