SUMMARY:Dorothy Hunt ~ In the Wholeness of Being - Can Anything Be Excluded?
DESCRIPTION:In this online exploration with Dorothy Hunt\, we will look at how—before\, and even after authentic awakenings or powerful glimpses—the conditioned mind imagines only certain thoughts\, feelings\, behaviors\, etc. should arise and not others. Egoic thought wants only the good\, the beautiful and the true to be the experience of life. But life is whole\, and its expression in form is constantly flowing\, continually changing. The Light that illuminates our shadows\, our joys and our sufferings\, holds our freedom. \nWhat is awake to the ever-changing faces of experience? What does it mean to be aligned with our deepest truth rather than our ideas\, especially our “spiritual” ideas? Perhaps we may discover that Truth cannot be separated from the moment\, nor ultimately from Love. As Lex Hixon once wrote: “Knowledge is the flower; love is the fragrance.” \nInside the skull there is a place\nWhere the essences of creation play and mingle—\nThe ecstatic light of awareness\nand the awareness of that light.\n—Lorin Roche\, The Radiance Sutras \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
