Here are a few bullet points to jog
the memories of those who attended service on Sunday, November 17, 2013. The
full text of the service can be read here.
·
What
is your primary responsibility in life?
·
Children?
But what if you have no children?
·
Your
spouse/ partner/ significant other? But what if you are not in a relationship?
·
The
planet, humanity, social justice?
·
What,
as the saying goes is, “Yours to do?”
·
In
regard to the world, I have no idea. In life I would say it’s to be responsible for your consciousness,
now. (or as it’s sometimes said, “Know Thyself”.)
·
This
is first and foremost, not to the exclusion of anyone or anything else, but
always ahead of any responsibilities in the world.
·
Everything
you make yourself responsible for in the world is greatly enhanced by “knowing
yourself.”
·
When
you take responsibility for your consciousness, the world is transformed.
·
You are an important part of the transformation
of the world.
·
“It’s
not primarily what you do. There is something more primary than what you do and
that’s what you express through your state of consciousness. What you do flows
through your state of consciousness.” (Tolle)
·
When
we get upset about what we perceive others do not know, about them being
unconscious, it would be good to put into action these words of Jesus, “Father
forgive them for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)
