Upcoming Sunday Services
Our April 10th service will welcome Marcus Co to share his journey with us. Marcus writes:
After 50 years (or so) interest and deep meditation self enquiry, my love of existential intelligence has brought about several equipment opening realizations.
My talk will be from these realizations and extensive time spent around spiritual “super humans”, and deep closeness with others.
Although this intelligence has revealed all 7 mind states that can occur here, only the first 5 have been shared as closeness with others.
From all of this my awareness has found scientific reflections around how these things occur. As borrowed science and spiritual changed knowings are not self knowing, I will label the source as Grace. Thank you.

Wednesday, April 13, 2022: Foolishness and Letting Go: Poetry and Song Circle, 7 p.m.
There are lots of theories about how April Fools Day originated, but no certainty about its origins. So we could invent a symbolic history for it, and say it represents the fact when you are letting go of the old and experimenting with the new, you risk looking foolish. The implication is that if you can’t risk looking foolish, then you’re stuck in winter and will never find spring. This is why there are so many wise fools in folklore and literature, fools who make fun of ego, pride and pretentiousness. Shakespeare’s plays are full of fools, both wise and otherwise. The wisest is the Fool in King Lear; the tragedy is that he never manages to persuade the King to choose love and authentic expression over ego, false expressions of love, and outworn tradition. But it’s possible to risk foolishness. Annie Dillard, the brilliant nature writer, risks it when she is running down the road singing and windmilling her arms and suddenly sees a stranger approaching; she decides to ignore his possible judgment, and her career as a writer seems born at that moment.
If you’re inspired by this theme, bring a poem, song or reading about being a fool or letting go. But, of course, as always, you are welcome to bring in something on a totally different topic, or just to come to listen and be nourished.
