A suggestion for this coming Sunday at 2PM EST is a discussion led by Dan G. on Richard Rose's "Conservation and Transmutation of Energy" chapter of the book "Passages". It is meant as an introduction to Rose's Albigen System. Approx 8-12 people in attendance.
(email selfinquirer@aol.com for Zoom invitation)
This is part of a bi-weekly series of a book review as introduction and discussion of Richard Rose's Albigen System. "Passages" was written to be "as a concise yet deep plunge into these valuable spiritual teachings" (John Kent on back cover). Whether you own a copy (https://amzn.to/3c2ulN0) or not, Dan Garmat will host 12 Sunday meetings to both familiarize and answer so many questions of what Rose's system is about.
This teaching in spiritual and psychological circles is one of the least discussed, as an essential element for change. The authors state "In one very real sense, our house -the body -is on fire. It's on slow burn, however that might last 70 or 80 years . . " Rose proposes that there is a natural yet unconscious vectoring mechanism in us all that can be made conscious to take on a task with some proportion of that energy, that is otherwise burned away.
They also say:
"There's a saying people overestimate what they can accomplish in the short term and underestimate what they can accomplish in the long term. Small daily efforts to redirect our energy are as valuable as an intense, short-lived push. These small efforts lead to greater efforts, and the generation and application of more focus and energy to the effort. Thus, we form a vector, fueled by our efforts to conserve and redirect our energy, and transmute that energy by applying it to meditation in service of our search for self-definition."

Meetings for this series is on the first and third Sunday of each month, 2-3:30PM EST.
The next meeting is Sunday, June 4, 2PM EST "Conservation and Transmutation of Energy" chapter
The book is Passages: An Introduction and Commentary on Richard Rose’s Albigen System, by Mike Gegenheimer and Shawn Nevins
