Quotes

"Q: How can I be free of hurt from others?

A:  Inwardly refuse to let the hurtful word or act fall on the negative part of yourself. That makes hurtful feelings impossible. If you refuse to open the door of your house to unwanted strangers, how can they enter? You see, you are unconsciously consenting to being hurt by others. Remind yourself that nothing anyone can say or do can harm the essential you. They can hurt false self, but you are gradually learning to extinguish your imaginary self and to live only from your original nature."

-Vernon Howard

"If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life, as in hoping for another life, and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life."

-Albert Camus

How to cope with wavering thoughts?

Versatile are flying clouds,

Yet from the sky they’re not apart.

Mighty are the ocean’s waves,
Yet they are not separate from the sea.

Heavy and thick are banks of fog, Yet from the air they’re not apart.

Frantic runs the mind in voidness, Yet from the Void it never separates.

-Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa

FEATURE ARTICLE:

Trojan Horses

Most of us have heard the story of the Trojan horse. Briefly, in Greek mythology, the Achaeans waged the Trojan War against the city of Troy after Paris of Troy stole Helen from her husband Menelaus, the king of Sparta. The battle outside Troy raged for ten years. The men were fed up and wanted to return to their homes. Athene, goddess of war gave Ulysses the idea for a plan to end the war by building a large wooden horse.

Once the statue had been built, a number of the Greek warriors, along with Odysseus, climbed inside. The rest of the Greek fleet sailed away, so as to deceive the Trojans.

One man, Sinon, was left behind. When the Trojans came to marvel at the huge creation, Sinon pretended to be angry with the Greeks, stating that they had deserted him. He assured the Trojans that the wooden horse was safe and would bring luck to the Trojans.

That night, after most of Troy was asleep or in a drunken stupor, Sinon let the Greek warriors out from the horse, and they slaughtered the Trojans.

About the Global Healing Circle

Our mission is to create a safe and healing environment for those who wish to connect with others while exploring their own path in life. We do not practice religion but draw from our own life experiences so we may come together as equals to foster the growth of who we are as human and spiritual beings. We seek to learn about ourselves for the betterment of our lives, relationships and for the healing of our planet. We do this with the understanding that changing the world first begins with changing ourselves.

The Global Healing Circle was created with my friend Suzy Baldwin we will encourage you to participate more in the process of creating your life by releasing blocks, setting new goals and reaching for new heights. We believe that your potential as an individual, and our potential as a global community, is unlimited. 

Those who choose to join our circle will be part of a process that is ever-changing and ever-evolving to meet the needs of the group. Individually, we will explore, honor, and learn from our differences. United, we will connect, inspire, and reach for something greater than that which we currently know.

Come try us out. Do as much or as little as you like. Share, only, if and when you’re ready. If it feels like home, stay awhile. If it does not, we thank you for your time and consideration, and send you blessings as you travel onward. Whoever, wherever you are, we honor you as part of the whole.

The meetings are free and everyone is welcome. So if you are ready, we invite you to join us. Dates and time listed below.
