Is there a certain principal from the Text which has taken on a life of its own long after the two-week session ends; becoming a regular companion, tapping on your shoulder from time to time? We will explore the quality of this tapping compared to other inner urges, sharpening discrimination. Can we be more proactive in what we feed and what we starve in our thoughts and affections?

Session 3: The Watchman - Keeping Watch (Helen Brown)
|
|
4am USA EST (Friday 12th)
|
|
The Bible mentions the activity of watching or keeping watch in both Old and New Testaments. This poses the question of what is being watched and in what context. This session will be divided into two sections; the first being focused on the Lord/Word as the Watchman and the second looking at human beings focus on keeping watch.
|
Each section will have a short introduction followed by personal space for reflection which could involve writing and/or drawing. Or it could be a space for just being immersed in theWord. There will be time for sharing in the group.
Biblical passages will be used as a structure and framework for self-reflection and participants are encouraged to go with whatever arises in the moment.

Session 4: Moving From a 'Self' to an ‘As-of-Self' (David Millar)
|
|
2pm USA EST (Friday 12th)
|
|
9pm South Africa (Friday 12th)
|
|
|
We begin our inner journey with the two trees in Eden's garden before moving to Gethsemani and onto our destination, the tree of life on either side of the river of the water of life in Revelation Chpt. 22. In doing this we will be tracking the regenerative process in its movement from, "no-self," to an "independent-self" onto an "as-of-self." Join us as we investigate the underlying nature of our sense of self and how it changes through our participation in the Word as the basis for our spiritual life.

|
7pm USA EST (Friday 12th)

Jesus Christ is the Logos that is living. In our time together we shall explore how Jesus’s life’s story is continually being re-enacted in our minds as truths from the Word work to bring forth what is good into life. Jesus Christ and the Word, are one and the same. Each offers a different manifestation of the Divine Human but presents the same origin.
