February 24, 2022 at 7:30pm | Lesson 5: SEEING A WORLD OF GOOD

Living a life devoid of stress, worry and anxiety really means feeling that life is "good." Therefore, a person must learn to translate their present sense of "being" in "oasis in time" into a new perception of seeing their life as "good".



March 3, 2022 at 7:30pm | Living 6: TRANSCENDING TIME AND SPACE

When a person relates to the present moment as a go-between of the past and the future, he/she becomes trapped in time.  Past failures will cause them to worry about future consequences.

 However, as soon as a person connects to the force that is propelling the present moment to "be," that moment will come alive from anew - standing alone and unto itself, completely detached from time.

 In such a moment, a person will experience a present sense of “being” as an oasis in time, free of all stress, worry and anxiety.



Then, instead of thinking that the only way to experience comfort and solace is by becoming detached from time and “savouring" the moment,  a person can lead a very busy life, yet still experience an inner peace and tranquility in all that they do.

The more a person experiences a present sense of "being" as an "oasis in time" (Steps 1-3), perceives their life as "good" (Steps 4-5) and experiences this in everything they do (Step 6), the more they will become engulfed in an aura of good, causing a ripple effect of good things to happen.  For in this approach is the power of good - a power which enables you, your deeds and the force of creation to become “one.”


Step 6, “The Power of a Simple Deed”:  Ultimately, the goal is to experience a present sense of “being” and the sense that life is "good" in all that you do.
