A New Earth (Book Image)

{Last Update: July 17th - 2024}

We are currently listening to "A New Earth" read by Eckhart Tolle.  We were missing a few of our regular members this week and as the subject matter is pretty deep in chapter 8 we changed things around a little.  We read from page 243 (The Breath) stopping at page 253 (Noticing the Gaps) but we did some of it as an exercise and re-read parts of pages 250 and 251 to try to comprehend it more fully.  The exercise we did was to slowly read (leaving lots of gaps) the last paragraph on page 249, taking time for group members to treat it as a short guided meditation into awareness of inner body energy.  We agreed that we should redo some of this next week when more of our regular members are present.  We also encourage everyone in the group to read these sections on their own before next week and to try the practice described in the last paragraph on page 249.  Doing this practice more than once over the next week is recommended to help make it more valuable when we do it as a group again next week. 

------------------------------------------

This group meets weekly on Wednesdays from 1:00 to 2:30 PM to read from various spiritual texts including Untethered Soul, Living Untethered (both by Michael Singer) and The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle (read by the author).  

Meeting Guidelines:

  1. The intention of this group is to frequently check-in with the participants to see whether anyone is feeling a need to slow down, go back and re-read a past section etc., with the goal of ensuring that everyone is absorbing the content in a way that is comfortable for them.  We want to avoid having passengers “exit the train” before we reach the destination.

  2. Another goal of this group is to provide time and opportunity for sharing on how the topics in the book are affecting the lives of the group members.  This opportunity will occur before reading begins each week as well as when requested during the reading/listening time.

  3. All members are invited to speak up and ask for a re-reading of a section, or to discuss anything the material brings up for them.  Reading will continue once all members are ready to continue.
