November 1st, 2012 Common Thread Group

The joining together of our physicalness is always a joyous time!  (That probably sounds like sex, but that's not my intent!  ;o)

We will meet again on Thursday, November 1st, in Waveland Hall in Plymouth Church at 7pm.  We will begin as usual with a short meditation, a few short announcements (please remember to keep this short, my dear friends!), and then Cathy Lindsey will give us her astrological update on how we are being affected by the planets!  Don't you just love this rollcoaster ride?

This month we will host Coralee & John Day from Fairfield, Iowa.  They will be explaining the

The Oneness Phenomenon

 

The central understanding of Oneness is that inner transformation and awakening into higher states of consciousness is not an outcome of a mere intellectual understanding but through a shift in consciousness whereby one’s experience of life is redefined at its core. This is achieved by the process of the Oneness Deeksha /Oneness Blessing which is a phenomenon sourced in the deep passion and the intent of Sri Amma & Sri Bhagavan.

The Oneness Blessing (aka Deeksha) is an energy transfer that brings about growth in consciousness. The level of consciousness of a person determines his/her quality of life experience. For instance, one’s experience of the ongoing recession, the ability to handle misunderstanding in relationship or a daughter’s rebellious nature, what emotions surge through when diagnosed with a health problem, the level of connection with people around and the joy experienced, the intensity of passion at work etc., depend on one’s level of consciousness. As consciousness rises, there is greater awareness, joy, love, togetherness, and focus in everything that you do and experience.

The Deeksha neither requires practicing a particular way of living nor is an initiation into following a new path. It does not bind one to any philosophy or ideology. It transcends religious and cultural barriers from the fact that it only chooses to awaken each to his/her own spiritual tradition by facilitating a neurobiological shift, thus making religion a matter of personal choice and convenience. Hence people belonging to any faith or age group can receive the Deeksha.

The majority of the November meeting will be actual hands-on deeksha for anybody who would like it. There will be a brief introduction beforehand and a Q&A afterwards. For further information about the Oneness Phenomenon and Deeksha, please go to www.onenessuniversitiy.org.
