NEW THOUGHT CENTER OF HAWAII
By
providing a loving, accepting, non-judgmental
community, we at NewThought Center of Hawaii create
a sanctuary for the nourishment, development, and
evolution of each person's unique spiritual path.
The circle
we sit in represents our inclusiveness and our
equality. We have no minister. We take turns
facilitating, and we minister to each other. In
addition to sharing our own spiritual insights, we
invite teachers from all wisdom traditions. We
invite and honor such variety and in ourselves and
in the world around us. We understand that no single
source has exclusivity of spiritual truth, health
and joy and that there is much to be learned from
many of these sources.
We gather
every Sunday at 10 a.m. in Kealakekua at Pualani
Terrace just south of the Kealakekua Library. You
are invited to join the circle.
Morty Breier pres. and board of NTCH.

NewThoughtWeekly is archived on the NewThought

UPCOMING PROGRAMS:
- Sept. 29 Rabbi Mark Shapiro.
"A taste of Jewish mystic thought :The creation
of the world and how we are part of the
action." The Jewish mystics had
a fascinating view of how God created space for the
world to exist, an unexpected (?) cosmic accident, and
its challenging aftermath. This concept is not
just esoteric; it contains clear everyday wisdom
for teachers, leaders and activists.
Rabbi Mark Shapiro, who for the
third year is serving as Congregation Kona Beth
Shalom's High Holyday rabbi, is a Reform (Liberal)
Rabbi from Chicago. He served Congregation BJBE
in Glenview Illinois for 38 years and became its rabbi
emeritus in 2000. Rabbi Shapiro is not a scholar
in Jewish mysticism (Kabbala), but has looked for ways
to relate its more basic teachings to the ongoing life
of the Jewish community.
10/6 Karen Lepere "
Relationships and Conciousness".

MISCELLANEOUS
NOT WHAT IT APPEARS
Lord...help me to remember that the jerk who cut me off in
traffic last
night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and was
rushing home
to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a
few moments
with her children.
Bring to my mind that the pierced, tattooed,
disinterested young man who
can't make change correctly at the cash register is a worried
19-year-old
college student, balancing his apprehension over final exams
with his fear
of not getting his student loans for next semester.
Remind me, that the scary looking bum,
begging for money in the same spot
every day, who really ought to get a job, is a slave to
addictions that I
can only imagine in my worst nightmare.
Cause me to reflect that the old couple,
walking annoyingly slow through
the store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring
this
moment, knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back
last week,
that this will be the last year that they go shopping together.
Remind me each day that, of all the gifts you
give me: good health, a good
job, family, dear friends, the greatest gift of all is truly
love.
It is not enough to share that love with
those who are close to me, but to
and with all who I come in contact with.
Let me be slow in judgment and quick with
forgiveness, patience, empathy
and of course....love.
Via Glenys Spitze
