17th June 2011

A record number today ten in all. John joined us for the morning. After current news and genial banter was over we reviewed the reason people of all ages asked the same questions who am I and what is reality and what purpose am I here for if there is one.
We touched upon the branching of philosophy into science where it made great strides in measuring and investigating what is this world we are in. This viewpoint leads to duality and a moving away from Eastern non-duality.
We reminded ourselves of the vastness of space when light from the distance stars take 15 billion years to reach us travelling 186,000 miles per second.
Do we believe it or is it some hypnotic dream and it is all in our minds?
We then watched a video on overcoming the bumps of life following the 3 "A"s.
Afterwards we read about three spiritual leaders opinion on the role of acceptance on the way to enlightenment. One suggested that if there is acceptance then there is still duality when in reality there is one One.
