About the event
At Quiet Fellowship, we welcome people of all faiths or no faith to explore a deeper dimension of life in contemplative awareness. We are especially open to authentic inquiry into aspects of spiritual living, not shying away from existential issues and challenges of life's meaning and purpose. A vibrant living faith is not afraid to doubt, to interrogate, to question. It is even open to the possibility and reality of not finding ready-made answers.
We aspire to build a community of grace and wisdom that supports our personal journeys of faith, nurtures our personal practice of contemplation, and weaves our personal stories and insights into a tapestry of collective awakening and transformation in Christ.
Great Perfection:
At this session, we will explore how we delimit and misconstrue the nature of heaven. Our ideas and conceptions of God and heaven often have more to do with our conditioning and desires than with reality. We project onto the future world beyond with content from our old baggage of the past. Our religious cosmologies reflect this. Yet in the face of mystery and the unknown, we are challenged and cajoled to seek the face of ultimate reality we call "God" and "heaven." Scripture serves as signposts to this reality. But to know and love insightfully the profound truth beyond surface words invites us to enter through the gateless gate of Christ and into the groundless ground of yes, Christ. Only in Christ shall we see the great perfection that has always been, is now, and ever shall be—world without end; world without world; end without end. Do we dare to enter?
We will commence our session with a short prayer, moving seamlessly into guided meditation, followed by reflective reading of a bible passage accompanied by deep silent listening. We will then share reflections, emerging questions and issues, and conclude with prayers (everyone is welcome to offer a prayer) and benediction.
