STUDY GROUP READING #313
January 2013 OPENING TEACHING Quite a few people have submitted questions about the shooting that took place at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in December. Our first three questions address the most common themes in all of the questions sent in. 1. This question is from Virginia, and the questioner writes: "We were all so saddened to learn of the Sandy Hook massacre, which took the lives of so many innocent young children. I could feel the hearts of so many people opening through their pain and reaching out with love to others. I believe there is a shifting awareness of what is really important, especially at this time of year that is so filled with commercialism. Would you please discuss the soul intent of the individuals involved in the Sandy Hook school massacre which killed so many innocents? Does this even have a larger purpose in our souls' progression and evolution on earth as we move into higher frequencies? Does an event like this actually help people to evolve more quickly? Help us to understand the larger purpose and good that comes from an event like this." |

4. This question is from California: “I would like to have a profound experience of the spiritual realities as reported by those who have had near-death experiences. For those of us who thankfully do not have a near death event, how can we have the same kind of spiritual awareness that comes in the near-death experience? A part of me feels that I am missing out if I don’t have those kinds of unusual, dramatic experiences. Of course, the more prominent part of me says that everyone has their own path and their own way and maybe some of us don’t need that dramatic experience for whatever reason. Would you comment on all of this?”
5. This question is also from California: “We often hear about the importance and benefits of loving ourselves. So, I'm wondering, what does it mean to love oneself? What does that look and feel like? How do we know if we're doing enough of it?” 6. [Susan]: The increased frequency of near-death experiences is a product of modern medicine being able to bring people back to life. It seems like an important by-product of science that can inspire people and remind them of their eternal nature. Because of the kind of mass reporting of fear and chaos in the world, it seems like a very important time in our evolution for this to be happening. Would you comment on this? 7. Would you please close with an attunement for us to use in the coming month? |

STUDY GROUP #321
September 2013 For the September Reading, I am presenting the first of 4 Readings that were given live at a 2-day workshop in the year 2000 called “The Path of Service.” This first Reading was the opening Reading that set the stage for the wisdom that would be given us by The Guides on the subject area of “Service.” The music at the beginning is Plateau of Mirrors by Brian Eno. We have used this piece at our Retreats and Workshops for 30 years to help us enter into the sacred space that the Guides create. Relax, receive and be inspired.

STUDY GROUP #322
October 2013 Last month I gave you the first of four Readings from a workshop on “The Path of Service.” I will continue those in November, but it seemed appropriate to share some answers about death and loss with you this month. Trk 1: Ron’s Attunement (which was spoken by him before every Reading, and which carried him into the altered state from which he became the voice for The Guides) Trk 2: The following is from The Opening Reading of Reading No. 3 given at the 2012 Spiritual Retreat called The Path to Personal Healing. The Guides were speaking about the power of thoughts. Within this opening, they give us wonderful information about repopulating your attunements with beloved ones who have made death before you. The Guides mention the name “Anna Marie” She was a much loved Retreatant who had passed on the year before. If you did not know Anna Marie, here you can imagine the soul of our beloved Ron, or your own loved one. Trk 3: The next offering is from the opening of The Guides’ last personal Reading which was given on August 15, 2013:. They address the subject of what is important when completing a human life. |

“The Path of Service”
Reading No. 2 of 4 STUDY GROUP #323
November 2013 The following Reading is the second of 4 Readings that were given live at a 2-day workshop in the year 2000 called “The Path of Service.” (The first of 4 was used for the September Study Group Reading #321; number 3 and 4 will be in 2014) T1-Ron’s Attunement T2-Guides’ Opening. T3-Question 1: Will you give us a process to help us balance our focus on service to others with service to ourselves? T4-Question 2: Is there a danger in being too kind to ourselves and becoming lazy and/or complacent? If so, how can we know when we’ve crossed the line between the two? |

STUDY GROUP #324
December 2013 This Reading was originally Number 12, from December of 1987. I have removed question one which did not apply to December, and replaced it with a question and answer from a personal Reading. T1-Ron’s Attunement T2-Guides’ Opening. T3-Question 1: From a personal Reading: Christians all over the world have accepted the symbol of the cross as an expression of their connection to the Christian faith, or to Christ. And they would say, “Jesus Christ is our savior who died for our sins.” That’s often how it’s put. If Jesus were to design a symbol, choose a symbol for us to remind us of the Christ force now inside of us, what would that be and what would he say that symbol meant? |
