We are members and friends of Unitarian Universalism walking the path of spiritual experience and growth as it unfolds in our lives. We come to this safe, caring, authentic, compassionate group for inspiration, to study, and to explore our direct experience of the fullness and mystery of life.
The group is facilitated by Doug Taylor.
As always, please feel free to share, invite and bring kindred spirits! Remember that it is not required to read/listen to the materials or answer any questions about the topic beforehand. The power is in your presence which contributes to the energy and richness of the group!
Questions for Contemplation:
1. What is your understanding and experience of “seeing?”
2. What influences and determines “what” and “how” you “see?”
3. How do we learn to “see” pre-critical, pre-rational inclinations and patterns in ourselves and others which tend to cloud and distort our ability to “see” clearly?
4. What are and where do these “precritical, prerational inclinations and patterns” come from?
5. What is the “contemplative mind” and your experience of it?”
6. What is the purpose and value of “learning how to see?”
In a wisdom tale, Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh tells us the bump in the road doesn’t create what spills out of the cup we are carrying. Instead it reveals what is already inside. The question is not about who bumps us rather, “What am I carrying in my cup?”
