The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment

I've gotten a recommendation (from across our living room) to turn our direction slightly more in a spiritual direction. I like good recommendations. I recall Sylvia's comment from last Sunday regarding our two bodies, with one of heart and mind. Perhaps this was not what was said, but rather what I heard. Nonetheless, I'm reminded of Jill Bolte Taylor's talk on her brain hemorrhage and how it made her so accutely and profoundly aware of the vast differences between right and left brain function. She spoke of the two sides of her brain as operating in two completely unique views of the world, and each providing entirely separate experiences with differing perceptions. She implored her audience to spend more time in the right brain, with its inherent sense of expansiveness, inclusiveness, unity and belonging. Her call sounds so inviting, but she does not give instructions on how to get there.
Oddly, Jill's recounting of her right-brain experience sounds remarkably like the growth experiences and states of being described in the 1970's booklet by Thaddeus Golas entitled, "The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment" which does contain simple instructions for getting into the right brain experience. I'll introduce the fundamentals.

Please join us at 9:45. We'll be delighted to have you.

As usual, excellent childcare is provided
