Get Over It!
Ever wondered how useful some popular "spiritual" sayings are, or whether they are more detrimental to our spiritual growth if not used and understood appropriately? For some humor and lightness at the beginning of this year, we will be exploring some of the most commonly used misconceptions about our spiritual Nature based on the book "Get Over It!" by Paul Hasselbeck and Bil Holton.
Join us for some fun, great music, and heartfelt fellowship after service at the level of your comfort. You deserve it.

Self
The word “Self” implies the focus on the self/Self as a whole—first and foremost to do the inner work before projecting outward. This focus is also known as Svadhyaya, one of the ten Yamas and Niyamas practiced in Hinduism (similar to the Jewish/Christian Ten Commandments or the Ten Perfections in Buddhist Theravada tradition), meaning “the study of the Self (and Scripture).”
Radical
The word “Radical” implies the willingness to go above and beyond the usual attention span given as part of our busy lives. Instead, we are taking heart in practicing with a radical, one-pointed focus. This approach resonates with the Niyama Tapas, which relates to the passionate, burning, and enthusiastic discipline we dedicate toward our spiritual practice.
