| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | OCTOBER 2016 |29 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, Undifferentiated and Eternal Being. Satsang (group meeting with a spiritual aim) begins with a 30 min. meditation (15 min. if new people are present) followed by a discourse and a short video presentation offered by a teacher adhering to the same teaching of Non-Duality. As always questions are warmly encouraged. We meet in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. Our weekly schedule is as follows: Wednesdays at 2:30 pm – 4 pm (NOTE: On the 4th Wednesday of the month satsang starts at 3:30 pm) Sundays at 2:30 pm – 4 pm This is a FREE offering. My background includes 29 years of formal spiritual practice under the guidance of two masters and seven years of teaching (five at Sun Lakes). You need not bring anything except an Open Mind. My name is Gina and I can be reached at 846-1220 or gina-sat@msn.com or if you have further questions. Meditation: a pathway to truth He Had It Coming! All Sun Lakers and guests are invited to a Dinner and a Murder Mystery Melodrama by Linda Vieira on Thurs., Oct. 20, at 5:30 pm in the Main Clubhouse Ballroom. "It's show time! Just as famous torch singer, Lulu Oiseau, begins her dinner performance in the Main Ballroom of the Sun Lakes Hotel, the body of Maxie "the Taxi" O'Toodle is discovered in the ladies' restroom! As detective Dick Racy questions the crowd to discover the guilty party, suspects appear, each with a strong motive. Is it Diamond Bill, hotel owner? Or his secretive wife, Madame Ja-Nay? Or his lawyer, Jerry Mason of Dewey, Cheetim and How? Maybe it's Maisie McGillicuddy, hotel maid with a past? Or ingénue Kari Sinclair, or even Lulu herself? Detective Dick juggles clues and confessions of dastardly deeds going back into the dark past, until he finally uncovers the truth!" Tickets to He Had it Coming are $15 each and include a dinner of pizza, salad and cookie. Tickets will be available Oct. 3 through Oct. 7 in the Main Clubhouse Lobby 11 am to 2 pm and 5 to 7 pm.) and at the General Meeting Oct. 16.
