WHEN
ALL SYSTEMS FAIL:
Spirituality Beyond Self-Help
- [ GSH-1 ]
Self-help
and pop-psychology have so permeated our culture that we can no longer
even see their influence. But we suffer from their effects.
Once we see that many of our popular prescriptions actually obstruct
spirituality, we understand why we feel "stuck," and know how
to get unstuck. We will discover a spirituality that relies not
on us, but on Spirit,
and find a renewed sense of inspiration and direction.
The seminar includes:
- What's the difference between spirits
and Spirit?
- Where can we turn when our prayer systems
fail us?
- What if we turn to “the power within”
and it isn’t there?
- Is the "self" the problem, the
cure, or both?
- How to find a new ground.
- The liberating power of spirituality free from all systems
People
Say, "LET GO AND LET GOD"
Sounds Great!
BUT HOW?[
GSH-2 ]
Did you ever have trouble getting through
your day while also staying open to Spirit and Spirit's direction?
Simply put: How can
we live in the ordinary world in a very non-ordinary (spiritual) way?
We will discuss:
- What did John The Baptist mean:
"Í must decrease that he might increase.”
-
Why are there so many obstacles--to almost everything!
- Do people have evil power?
- Do evil people have power?
- How many powers are there, anyway?
- I'm always doing either too little
or too much. How can I
get it right?
- Dealing with the "D" words--Distraction,
Detours, and Depression
- "Thy Will Be Done"--The
Secret to Heaven on Earth
HOW
TO KNOW IF SOMETHING IS RIGHT IN YOUR LIFE - [
GSH-3 ]
Most
of us struggle and pray for direction.
And when we have a problem, we
search everywhere for "a sign."
And sometimes we get one. But
how many times do we later feel, Humm,
maybe that wasn't God after all?
If only I knew what I know now?
We feel betrayed by our prayers, sometimes even betrayed by
God! But there is a way of seeing which is much more sure
than weighing the endless pros and cons, and searching the sky for signs.
We
will explore:
-
Why our
inward voice often has ulterior motives.
-
How to find the intuition that doesn’t
lie.
-
How to make myself listen when I don’t
feel like it.
-
How to make myself obey when I don’t
like the answer.
-
Separating signs from...signs.

Beyond right and wrong--The World of
Unreasonable Love
TRUTH AND TRADITION
: The Mystics' Message In Plain English
In every era there have been great teachers--people who
have pointed us toward a more enlightened way of seeing and being. But
around every great teacher, there soon springs up a practice and tradition
that differ from the original message. This seminar teaches how to separate
Truth from tradition, and how to get back to the original teachings.
Topics
include:
How Truth gets lost
along the way
How scripture is different from inspirational writings
Learning how to read without the distortion of tradition (and personal
interpretation)

without doing - Lao Tsu
- You
are not your world - Maharaj Nisargadatta
