Sharing Groups  

Sharing groups provide a crucible for impartially observing the truth of our lives – how we create and perpetuate our realities.  Truthfulness with others and myself expands to greater awareness. 

If I manifest something by asserting it, I will always feel a bit phony and I will never actually experience what I am asserting.  I cannot try to be a certain way and experience it at the same time.  I may act kind, but I will never experience that I am kindness.  I will never really know if what I think kindness is, is truly kindness – and I will expend continuous effort creating the impression of it.

When I let go of a bias I may feel liberation – or I may feel I have given up some control – like letting go of a rudder or hand hold on life.  Yet seeing what arises from within me when I am not actively controlling how I appear tells me who I really am.  Knowing who I am gives relativity – even if I don’t like what I see I have a better sense of how I came to be and the influences effecting my reactions.  

I see awareness of these principles to be the foundation for the only way of being that can preserve life as we know it.  I therefore support the development of “Personal Worlds” in the form of sharing groups through which we can open ourselves to explore the wisdom within.  I have found that emotional problems cannot exist in a personal world – neither for that matter can violence, ignorance, or immaturity.
