Friday's bookclub
Dearest Friends,
You are kindly invited to the next Book Club meeting this Friday, August 13th at 8pm Paris time, 2 pm New York time. (Bernard will host).
We enjoy each others’ presence and welcome newcomers warmly. We start off by sharing our thoughts and reactions to a quote provided. Then we allow whatever comes up to come up.
The text for this week’s meeting is from The Escape To Everywhere by Paul Hedderman:
“Life is a VERB. It’s just happening. Not TO anyone. Just energy, riffing like crazy. Selfing makes a NOUN of itself. A thing through body identification.
The illusion of being a noun is that everything is happening from outside TO YOU. All day long, every bit of conscious contact that is continually happening, your head is claiming it, as YOU (the body) being the one in contact. But the “self” is just a story the mind’s running. Nothing ever happened to what I AM. I am the pure and simple awareness of events.”
