There was a time when Donald Walsch (Henry Czerny) had no place to go and no one to turn to, but that all changed when he directed the hardest questions he had ever asked at the entity many view as the be-all and end-all of human existence. The answers that he received would not only change his life, but the lives of millions of readers as well.

In order to practice it effectively and fruitfully we need more (l) incentive, and (2) instruction. To motivate ourselves we need a clearer sense of what the direct benefits are to ourselves and to others. In practice, we need concrete suggestions for relevant circumstances and applicable methods. This class will elaborate on both the theory and practice of forgiveness and will offer perspectives mostly, but not only from the Buddhist tradition.|Seniors|12/12/08|12/12/08|1:30 - 3:30 PM|$22 ($10 members)|633-4991|PILLAR|30 E.

As we grow older, we can feel burdened with the pain of ghostly memories, unresolved relationships and tied up in psychological knots that never seem to unravel. The inability to forgive our unresolved guilt and to put out the flames of our shame leaves us emotionally and spiritually wanting and incomplete. There is a profoundly simple method to begin to learn how to develop and process forgiveness – towards others and towards one’s self. It is a technique that has come down to us from the prophets of the Bible and is now understandable using modern concepts. It uses nothing more than a universal shape found throughout all creation. This topological shape is a visual instrument to learn how to craft your personal “prayer vehicle” and use your own suffering to fuel its direction and momentum! Anyone can learn to do this and anyone can learn to forgive and to be forgiven. This is one of the supreme secrets of Creation. This is the Shape of Prayers to come.|Seniors|11/03/08|11/03/08|9:30 - 11:00 AM|$22 ($10 members)|633-4991|PILLAR|30 E.
