Waking From the Dream INTEGRATING OUR SPIRITUAL VALUES INTO DAILY LIVING

July 8, 2012 - 1:00pm - 3:00pm

Location: Pandosy Peace Centre

“Humans are dreaming all the time. Before we were born the humans before us created a big outside dream that we call society’s dream or the dream of the planet. The dream of the planet is the collective dream of billions of smaller, personal dreams, which together create a dream of a family, a dream of a
community, a dream of a city, a dream of a country, and finally the dream of the whole humanity. The dream of the planet includes all societies rules, its beliefs, its laws, its religions, its different cultures, and ways to be, its governments, schools,social events, and holidays.”

- Don Miguel Ruiz

The focus of this seminar is to give Dr. James the opportunity to share with you some of his most profound and transformative insights that he has gained from his personal studies with Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements, and from his practical application of these insights in his own life. The intent of this presentation is to support each one who attends in more fully waking up from the dream, the mitote, of limitation, fear, and unhappiness that is an all too common experience for many of us. Discovering our true freedom, being liberated & truly happy, is the goal of the spiritual path. Dr. Ernest Holmes the founder of Religious Science wrote that, “Freedom is the birthright of every
living soul... Man must be created with the possibility of limitless freedom and left alone to discover himself.” We all have the inherent capacity to gain mastery of our own awareness and to claim the true state of our Being and become fully alive, in love, and joyously free in the midst of our own life, but in order to accomplish this we must wake up from the dream of humanity.

Some of the topics to be covered are waking from the dream through:

Right Effort: The balance between personal effort & Divine grace

Seva: The practice of giving to others what you yourself want to receive

Dharma: Making all life choices from spiritual wisdom

Spiritual Practice: Deepening the ability of the mind to be strong and free
