Nancy's Notes
How deep has been my experience this Saturday morning. I'd talked with my only two brothers left in my family of origin. I was surprised when they both asked me why there haven't been any "Nancy's Notes" for a while. I was shocked to hear that they have been reading them. That gave me the incentive to write this one.
I'm thankful to Alexa for providing the background music and mood for the love that was sustained in my heart by the music and lyrics of John Denver and the Rightous Brothers. I started the morning making macaroni and cheese. I don't know why? They say it's a comfort food. No one was in the kitchen, and I was Thinking about
my family and extended family; including Amy, Kelley, all 8 dogs, and the 4 sheep grazing in the pasture; and all of the sudden I started singing a song that my home schooled children and Marty and I sang for the congregation that we were attending. We were all off key, but at least we gave it a try. Amy walked in while I was singing, and tears were in her eyes, too.
"Welcome to the family. We're glad that you have come to share your lives with us as we grow in love, and may we always be to you what God would have us be, a family always there to be strong and to lean on. May we learn to love each other more with each new day. May words of love be on our lips in everything we say. May the Spirit melt our hearts and teach us how to pray. That we might be a true family."
Anyway, that song sings through me at the most unexpected times.
This time it was Mama Lady, Buster, April May, & Charlie Brown.
The absolute love that came from our resonance elevated us all
into the heavenly realms. No one barked. Charlie Brown's understanding eyes filled my eyes with tears. We were all One Being for a few sacred hours. I often feel the same way
when we are together in our groups and sharing the unique gifts of our true nature.

Bert has been meditating regularly since 1965, when he leearned meditation technieques from a theosophist familhy in his home town. Over the years he has changed the way he meditates to fit whatever spiritual path he is pursuing, but the goal is alwys the same. Realization is what he is after. One definition of that would be to operate from a level of awareness that is based in direct perception of everything as identically arising from one nameless, and utterly mysterious ground that we are.
"The Universe is activity. There is no such thing as inaction. Since there is no such thing as an individual apart from the Universe there is no such thing as individual action, just a totality of action everywhere. The Universe acts impersonally and we are simply the activity of the unfolding universe.
- The Bhagvad Gita
"The concept of a divine, or "Christ" mind, is the idea that, at our core, we are not just identical, but actually the same being. "There is only one begotten Son" doesn't mean
that someone else was it and we're not. It means we're all it. There's only one of us here."
Marianne Williamson.

Zoom With Kim Lenen
please check with Nancy
Sunday April 18 11am-1pm
Go deep into the sense of ‘I am’ and you will find your true nature. So, how do you find a thing you have mislaid or forgotten? You keep it in your mind until you recall it. The sense of being, of ‘I am’ will emerge.
Ask yourself whence it comes or just watch it quietly. When the mind stays in the ‘I am’, without moving, you enter a state, which cannot be verbalized, but which can be experienced.
All you need to do is to try and try again. After all the sense of ‘Iam’ is always with you, only you have attached all kinds of things to it- body, feelings, thoughts, ideas, possessions and so on.
All these self-identifications are misleading, because of these you take yourself to be what you are not.

Zoom Meditations with Kim & Nancy
Compassionate Conversations
Ongoing Thurs. 11am-1pm
We are learning to have compassionate Conversations through the practice of Marshall Rosenberg's Non-Violent Communication and the intensive classes and work Kim has done around this topic. We practice together and become more and more confident with each practice session.
This week we are going to learn more about ourselves and one another using a
couple of Psychological personality modalities. Oh how comforting it is to be with one another
even though it's not what we are familiar with. We can
start feeling like we're one big family, though it's seen through a lens darkly.
Sacred Circle
Ongoing Mondays
9:30 - 11:00 am
Add a reminder to your calendar to join this enlightening group of humans each Monday rain or shine.
Don’t we look fun?!? We were in a pyramid then decided we didn’t want to intimidate anyone ;-)
Conversation topics such as: Psychomanteum, Zoom funerals, The BAmboo forest in Sandy Springs, The Great Wall, Duluth, Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, to the value of connecting to hobbies and passions. Many authors are discussed, philosophy, and creativity. There is almost always laughter and tears. Sometimes, one right after another. On a rare occasion you may view a dance with fire facilitated by Jack.
***Shares will be limited to 7 minutes per person. Come with a share or trust what is needed will appear exactly at the right time.
We send you all love and trust you will be with us for future circles.
Anyone interested in Yoga? Amy is willing and able to share her knowledge of Yin Yoga. She will even come to you! You can reach her best @ 404.502.7012.
We gather in the dining room where there is lots of air circulation and social
distancing. We are listening for better ways to connect with one another and trust that guidance will come as we go into the Silence and speak our truth. We are interested
in everyone's perspective. We wait for inspiration; and when it comes, we speak it as the enlightened beings we know ourselves to be.
