Dinner and Divinity - April 30th - Reflections on the Soul

After a delicious dinner of lasagna and salad, Hayden led the divinity portion of this week's gathering. Hayden shared that just as our eyes developed in the womb to be used in this world, so too are our souls developing for a non-physical existence. Here is one of the quotations we discussed:

"In the beginning of his human life man was embryonic in the world of the matrix. There he received capacity and endowment for the reality of human existence. The forces and powers necessary for this world were bestowed upon him in that limited condition. In this world he needed eyes; he received them potentially in the other. He needed ears; he obtained them there in readiness and preparation for his new existence. The powers requisite in this world were conferred upon him in the world of the matrix...

Therefore in this world he must prepare himself for the life beyond. That which he needs in the world of the Kingdom must be obtained here. Just as he prepared himself in the world of the matrix by acquiring forces necessary in this sphere of existence, so likewise the indispensable forces of the divine existence must be potentially attained in this world."

This wonderful evening was capped off with some music and dessert. See you next time!

Dinner and Divinity - September 18th - Interfaith Prayer

Last week we had our First "D & D" of the new school year. It proved to be a wonderful night, as it always is. After a delicious dinner of lasagna, salad and garlic bread, we played some music, sang together and read some prayers and quotations from various world faiths. We also had special prayers for those in need of healing and for loved ones who have passed on. Dessert was delicious - cheesecake and brownies, coffee and tea. Here are some photos from the night:

"When a man turns his face to God, he finds sunshine everywhere. All men are his brothers."
