Metanoia (RHS edition)
Are you open to a new understanding?
METANOIA = Meta = higher + Noia = mind; transcendence of intellectual limitations; mind as total Beingness rather than a mechanical device to grasp conceptions.
QUESTION: Are you open to a new understanding?
STORY: Our habits, beliefs, prejudices, biases and choices pretty much construct what we call our life. Look around where you live right now and you will see evidence of this. Then, all of a sudden - something happens - we lose our job, break our arm, get in a car accident, our landlord gives us a notice to move, our husband or wife leaves us. Whatever the problem - we typically fall into old habitual reactions of fear or anger. BUT there is a tool we can practice that helps us to actually use our emotions to expand our awareness about this problem. Then we are able to open up and see a whole new understanding of the purpose of the problem. With this tool you Release the Hidden splendor - the Essential Life Purpose that lives deep inside every problem. Learn more: https://www.theprosperos.org/prosperos-events/rhs-live-class-2024-06
