Wednesday night's session was a continuation of Monday's talk on healing and wholeness. Richard spent the first session recapping his theme, and giving us a little more detail. After a period of silence and a coffee break, he returned to an hour of questions. This was by far the most interesting part of the evening (apart from the people who really didn't ask a question but seemed to only want to make statements and have Richard agree with them...)
He addressed topics of Hell, Letting Go, Ecumenism across Religions, Feminism and God, the Healing process, and a few other issues I have now forgotten!
And we sang that awful song again, and Matt, Coralie and I got the giggles watching the 70 and 80 years old sway to the music....
Here's what I noted down from last night:
- Belief in things doesnot transform. Love does.
- A mystic is simply one who knows by experience.
- You must stand in love in order to see the love in others.
- Our failure to learn from our "sins" is the largest sin of all
- We need to learn to find the divine image in all things or we will find it in nothing.
- Life is not about me. We need to stop self referencing every experience to the "I"
- Demons are the addicitive behaviours we have
- Faith is not long term fire insurance.
- It is heaven all the way to heaven, or hell all the way to hell!
- Jesus cam to earth to take us back into the divine dance. (He spoke alot about the trinity as a dance of love)
- God does not adore us, he loves us.
- You a little s .. t, but also the dwelling place of God!!
Bless you all
Chris
