“The path to awakening from suffering…calls for
vigilant discipline. We are asked to believe in Love without seeing it and to
see fear without believing it”.
Nouk Sanchez
After two years of weekly
gathering, Light Tree is taking a sabbatical to contemplate what we have
learned so far.
Our meetings have been
supremely important in helping us stay present with the various teachings we
have studied as we learn new ways to apply them to our everyday lives. We are
continuing to gather along with various other groups and individuals who are
concerned with awakening to the truth of who we are.
This is not a journey for
the faint-hearted. However, by remaining vigilant and practicing forgiveness we
are more confident when we face something that appears overwhelming or fearful.
We are certain that any thing that appears to cause suffering cannot possibly
be real and therefore choose love instead. We have seen repeatedly the
transformative power of changing our thoughts from fear to love and are committed
to deepen our awareness further.
The mutual support, wisdom
and insight that emerge at each meeting is a miracle in itself. As challenging
as life appears to be, we have come to understand that each event that appears
on the screen of our awareness is really an important opportunity to heal our
minds. We continually remind ourselves and each other that the contents of our
stories are unimportant, but they are essential to noticing and releasing the
fear thoughts that appear to arise in all their forms.
We wish you many blessings
for your own awakening, and encourage you to contact us by email with any
thoughts or insights that may arise.
