SUMMARY:Dorothy Hunt ~ Forgiving the Dream
DESCRIPTION:If we go deeply enough into any feeling\,\nwe cannot help but bump up against our true nature.\n~ Dorothy Hunt \nWhat occurs between the feeling of “I can’t forgive\,” and realizing “there is no one TO forgive?” In this exploration\, we will exclude any “shoulds\,” and focus on what is real\, what is true\, and what is here beneath our judgments\, anger\, hurts\, and fears. Are we curious and courageous enough to look deeply? What happens when we find ourselves in a bigger energy field than the wounds and identities we seem to carry? What happens when our own pain is met with loving compassion? Perhaps compassion may arise for those whose own suffering created the conditions for being cruel\, unkind\, or unloving. \nWhen something truly awakens to who/what we are\, we may realize we have been living in a dream of Separation that really isn’t true. If all of life is an expression of the “One without a second\,” who is there to forgive? And yet\, the Love we most deeply ARE\, may one day move to forgive both the dreamer and the dream. \nI understand the wounds\nThat have not healed in you.\nThey exist\nBecause God and Love\nHave yet to become real enough\nTo allow you to forgive\nThe dream . . .\n–Hafiz\, from ”Forgive the Dream”\nRendering by Daniel Ladinsky \nDorothy Hunt currently serves as Spiritual Director of Moon Mountain Sangha\, teaching at the request and in the spiritual lineage of Adyashanti. The flavor of her teaching blends Advaita and Zen with a deep welcoming of the human expressions of the Mystery. Dorothy is the founder of the San Francisco Center for Meditation and Psychotherapy\, and practiced psychotherapy from 1967 until her retirement in 2020.  She is the author of Only This!\, Leaves from Moon Mountain\, and Ending the Search: From Spiritual Ambition to the Heart of Awareness. In addition\, she is a contributing author to two books on Nondual Wisdom and Psychotherapy\, and the editor of Love: A Fruit Always in Season. \nwww.dorothyhunt.org \nSliding Scale: $15 to $40\nHowever\, no one turned away for lack of funds.\nIf you can’t pay within the sliding scale\, contact us to let us know what you can contribute.\nAddress inquiries to web@opencirclecenter.org \nREGISTER \nThe event will be recorded and emailed to participants within a week.\nTo check your local time\, use a tool such as: Time Zone Converter
