At Unity we advocate developing a strong and regular spiritual practice to balance your spiritual life with everyday working commitments during the week. One of these practices is meditation. Meditation is a helpful skill and enduring way to align and balance yourself in preparation for the demands & stresses of daily commitments. It can also help in your efforts to be present for your family. This practical spiritual tool can help alieviate anxiety and bring peace, self knowledge and acceptance to you in all stages of your life.
Every Sunday at Unity of Boulder we offer a 9am MST Meditation & Satsang–a group contemplative meditation featuring Live Tibetan Singing Bowls performed by Norma Groverland and a spiritual message and guided meditation given by Jack Groverland.
This Week Jack’s Spiritual Message is Titled: “From Bad News To Good News”
At the advice of a friend I just started watching a TV series on Hulu titled “Damages” starring Glenn Close. She plays the head attorney running a top law firm in New York City. The character Glenn Close portrays on the series is a hard hearted pitbull of a lawyer, who is feared by her opponents as well as everyone in her company. Part of the ongoing plot has her secretly doing mean things to manipulate the people who work for her in order to force them to forsake their family and friends and make their legal work for her their heart and soul priority.
Ten or fifteen years ago rare was a movie or series written with such a sinister character in the leading role. Today, such characters in movies and TV series abound.
I take this as an indication that such dark expression which belie the Divine Essence of Mankind are running out and the arrival of the Enlightened Consciousness is soon to take over. Consider this from Tolle’s book, “A New Earth”, P 13.
“Most ancient religions and spiritual traditions share the common insight—that our “normal” state of mind is marred by a fundamental defect. However, out of this insight into the nature of the human condition—we may call it the bad news—arises a second insight: the good news of the possibility of a radical transformation of human consciousness. In Hindu teachings (and sometimes in Buddhism also), this transformation is called enlightenment. In the teachings of Jesus, it is salvation, and in Buddhism, it is the end of suffering. Liberation and awakening are other terms used to describe this transformation.”
This Sunday at Unity of Boulder’s 9AM MST Meditation & Satsang, we will begin to master the insights into personal transformation.
We hope you will join us for this universal multifaith experiential spiritual event and to discover, nurture and grow an awareness of yourself and your spiritual presence in the world.
As Promised, Jack
