39 to 49: nutshell of actual Christianity. I need this so very badly in this season. Thank you Cynthia for the reminder that we are a microcosm...and therefore "Weather I live or die, I am the Lords." We can never be separated from the macrocosm " For neither death nor life, powers nor principalities, things present nor things to come can separate from the love of God through Jesus my Lord" " May [virtue] roll down like water. " Courage..."Be not afraid...Fear not..." Amen.
Paula, I also liked that comment she made but it is the only traditional Christian comment she made. She seems to be saying we are energy slowed down to a material state that cannot apprehend the higher vibration of the heavenly state. It is a matter of stepping beyond the veil. It is not necessary to have to leave the body to achieve this awareness but living in the ordinary state of consciousness where 97% of humanity dwells makes it challenging to find kindred intellectual companions. Younger thinkers, People such as Thomas Hubl and his “clan”, talk about collective consciousness and the brain developing a better thinking apparatus. Consider stretching out beyond conventional Christianity to the Jewish-based study of meditation and mindfulness. It is eye-opening.
I am so grateful I listened to the questions. My mind was wowed by the presentation and my heart by responses to people’s questions. Courage in this sense feels so meaningful.
Well, well and WELL............my home in Stonington, Maine has just become so much more of an interesting place of “Being”. I am laughing with joy in all of my being, the knowledge that I am fortunate enough to share this small fishing village environment with Cynthia Bourgeault, who I just met by chance a couple of days ago. What life changing words sprout from the dynamic being and spirit of Cynthia. 💫✨
I feel the same about not meeting Cynthia and Richard before but grateful I found my strength thru contemplation and meditation. And with time they came to my life to share their experiences which resonates with my heart 🙏 thank you for having this channel and the work you do🙏💖
Thank you so much, incredibly rich and stimulating... can't wait to read more about the imaginal map Cynthia. And will be seeking out Gurdjeff's teachings 🧡
The only thing that is appearing to stop you from enlightenment/self-realization/eternal life/knowing yourself to be unconditional love is identification with thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences instead of being aware of being aware and knowing yourself to be that unconditional love pure consciousness in which all thoughts, emotions, sensations, perceptions and experiences appear but are not inherently one with you; they are an expression of unconditional love; you are that infinite that is expressing itself as suffering/pleasure but inherently you are neither; you are that nothing/unconditional love/pure consciousness in which they are appear and by which they are perceived; Suffering/pleasure comes and goes; there is an awareness that is aware of them coming and going; that you are; remember and know what you are; never identify with anything that is appearing within you; since it appears within you; it can't be you; you are that in which it appears. When you abide as that in which it appears instead of identifying; nothing has a grip on you; if anything comes; it quickly goes; like clouds passing; only if you identify as a cloud then it will appear as if the cloud is here for longer than it is originally supposed to; if you simply rest as the awareness and do not identify; it will quickly dissolve; be unconditional love by being aware of being aware; this is the highest; this is what you are seeking in absolutely everything else; you are seeking yourself; you are seeking unconditional love; but you are looking outside of yourself; instead of being aware that you already are unconditional love. Love love
As always Cynthia draws us deeper into the mystery of life via a new consciousness. The human race is the greatest threat to life on earth. Yes we need a quiet calm courage. .

I recomnend going further back in the archives to find and start at the beginning of her blogs on these exercises as subsequent exercises expand on previous understanding and preparation...
She also posted them to her Northeastwisdom website which is what I'm referring to about going back in the archives (meant to post an archive link but might have been deleted?)... I read something recently that they will be incorporated in a new forthcoming book as well...
I think you're right, although there are things in there i'm not okay with. Maybe we should see this as consciousness coming in to being. I am what i will become.
I was having a very bad day until I saw the delight in these souls meeting each other before the talk even began!
love

I'm a simple man. I never transcended or anything but I loved this talk.
Well

“There’s got to be more than this.” It’s universal.
My heart is so full, thank you
Couldn't get away until the end, wonderful Cynthia Bourgeault

The solar plexus connects to the web of all beings. Loved her insight on the energy of saints and departed souls in the here and now.
Excellent video!!!! Thank you!!!
Thankyou 🙏 This is a Blessing ♥️
☺️ Beautiful how the power of emotion is felt and shared as one
Thank you for your wisdom.
Golly I adore your academic insightful profound work Cynthia! Thank you!❤️ (that’s even an understatement!) great stuff here!

Cool story bro. No one asked
Fun fact : Father Merrin, the old priest in the Exorcist novel is based upon Teilhart de Chardin.
exceptional teacher
Krishna consciousness is within!
Blown away!! What is Cynthia’s website name please?
I like it. It's not Christianity as we expect it, it's Blakean, gnostic, Dantean.
Is there a transcript for this talk?
Where can I find the Gurdieff exercises Cynthia refers to?
Probably mentioned in some books but mainly in the Gurdjieff groups, where they are always transmitted and corrected orally.
I recomnend going further back in the archives to find and start at the beginning of her blogs on these exercises as subsequent exercises expand on previous understanding and preparation...

The shimmering interviewer... :)
Would have been better if you stayed away from politics. I love you just the same.
Hal Warner, yes, I agree
Not just moderns but many saw God inhabiting the whole.
Beautiful but don't knock the OT. A sophisticated reading shows that it is not so scolding but an emerging consciousness of conscience.
I think you're right, although there are things in there i'm not okay with. Maybe we should see this as consciousness coming in to being. I am what i will become.
