Series: Four Thursday Mornings
Silent Awareness: The Revelation That Changes Everything
April 8, 15, 22, 29, 10:00 – 11:30 am
There is a silence which predates time. It was there before we were born and will be there when
we die. The Buddha called it “empty space, the home of the awakened mind.” In the Book of Acts, it
is the silence in which “we live and move and have our being.” To the mystic, it is the voice of the
eternal calling us home to our true self. This powerful and healing presence has always been within
us and around us, yet with rare exceptions, it goes unnoticed. Why? What stands in the way? In this
four-part series, we explore what prevents us from being aware of the awareness that radically
changes everything we think we know about life and death. In the deepest sense, we are the
awareness that is silent, but we have forgotten it. The question is, and always has been, can we
learn to remember? What is required of us? In each session, we’ll look at ways we can be aware of
the sacred silence which transcends the ordinary mind. The bold aim of this program is to
encounter the inner peace which sets us free. Single Session $15, Series $50.
