As We Welcome...

As we welcome the Jewish Holiday of Rosh Hashanah 
and the beginning of a New Year, 
I am also mindful that this time of year 
carries the memory of September 11—
a day that reminds us of the preciousness of life, 
the fragility of our world, 
and how deeply we need one another.
May this New Year bring renewed hope, 
healing, peace, and compassion. 
May we remember those we have lost, 
cherish those who are with us, 
and work toward a world filled 
with greater kindness and understanding.
Wishing you and those you love a happy, 
healthy, peaceful and meaningful New Year. 🍎🍯✨
Shanah Tovah.

Our Mission: The Gift of Presence






The Mirror of Venus - Sir Edward Burne-Jones





Our mission is to bring the gift of "Presence" 
to as many people as possible and to deliver 
as many as possible from the lower worlds 
to a place where they can help in this great work.

I would ask each of you to speak to people 
and try as much as you can to assist in the Birth 
and subsequent growth of the School.

Speak to people in whatever way your heart tells you to.



Love,

When I Feel More Balanced...

 






When I feel more balanced, 

I breathe as though through the centers 

and silently say  “I Am.” 

When I say “I,” 

feel the three centers 

as though something stands up; 

and when I say “Am,” 

I also feel them, 

but as though something sits down. 

When I breathe in, I say “I” 

and represent to myself 

that the active elements of

the air are entering. 

When I breathe out, I say “Am” 

and feel them flow into and fill my body. 

I do not try 

to make anything more of this “I” and “Am,” 

simply say the words to myself. 

With each breath, 

I follow this order for filling: 

right arm, right leg, left leg, left arm, 

abdomen, chest, head 

and then the whole body.

At Death...

At death the lighted lamp
of your heart
Will be placed
in the wide center of the sky.
Will it, flickering, go out,
Or in one final act
of all-consuming being
Catching the corners
of the wind
Wake in the ocean of light
Filling a heart
now also without limits.

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow






Image by Alexander Fox - Planet_Fox from Pixabay




"In order to know the future
it is necessary first to know the present 
in all its details, as well as to know the past.

Today is what it is because
yesterday was what it was.
And if today is like yesterday, 
tomorrow will be like today. 

If you want tomorrow to be different, 
you must make today different."

G.I. Gurdjieff
