AWAKE IN STILLNESS
Peace cover you, within without the same,
In shining silence and in peace so deep
No dream of sin and evil can come near
Your quiet mind. And then in stillness wake.
First there is silence; then awakening.
Now is the time appointed for the end
Of dreaming. Still the cradle where you come
To be reborn. The Christ is stirring in
The home that He has chosen as His Own.
His vision rests upon your eyes, and soon
You will behold His face, and will forget
The fantasies that seemed to be so real
Until the stillness came. The Son of God
Has come to join you now. His shining hand
Is on your shoulder. And God's silent Voice
Speaks ceaselessly of Heaven. You will hear
His single message calling to His Own
From His abiding place, to wake in God.

NEW WEBINAR: "Effortless Being" with Jenny Beal
📅 Date: March 3rd, 2025
🕙 Time: 12:00 - 1:30 PM EST
Join Jenny for a short guided contemplation to discover what happens when we release all effort. What happens when we stop trying to do or to not do, to think or to not think. When we stop trying to meditate, to be spiritual, to be calm, to be attentive, to be still.
This will be followed by dialogue in which Jenny will help untangle obstacles, clarify understanding, and examine limiting beliefs based on her own experience and understanding.
Begin the new year in a spiritual environment by giving yourself a quiet space with heart-centered people to reconnect with your self and allow what you want to arise in awareness.
Transformation begins and ends with you.
By recognizing who you are and what you want, you are able to stay grounded and focused in light no matter what life challenges or difficulties come your way in the upcoming year.
Get clear on your goals.
Learn to stay be in the flow of whatever appears or disappears from your experience in 2025
Stay in harmony, peace and happiness.
Please bring a journal, any favorite inspirational writing, and three symbols that represent what you want to release, what you want to expand into, and something that reminds you of the truth of what you are.
Join us for the next webinar in our series —The Mind Before Awakening Versus After— featuring spiritual teacher Jan Frazier on October 28th, 2024, from 10:00 - 11:00 am ET.
In this webinar, Jan Frazier will explore the profound transformation of the mind that occurs through awakening. Many seekers assume that after awakening, the mind would become completely still. However, Jan reveals that post-awakening, the mind becomes a powerful tool that can be consciously activated and quieted at will, free from emotional turmoil and compulsive thinking.
Before awakening, the mind often drives unconscious patterns and self-judgment. After awakening, it functions as a clear, insightful observer that no longer fixates on maintaining a sense of self. This clarity allows for true peace and self-realization.
This session will include a deep dive into the awakening process, followed by a 30-minute Q&A session where participants can ask questions and share insights.

Our vision is for all beings to awaken to know their true nature in this lifetime and live as an embodiment of this Self-realization.
We believe that immediate access to the inner peace and happiness we all long for is available through the simple recognition of the Awareness of Love’s Presence, our essential nature, Awareness.
Awakening, often referred to in spiritual traditions as self-realization or enlightenment, offers profound benefits for ourselves and the world. Many insightful and realized beings have shared that our raison d'être—our reason for existing—is to awaken from the illusion of separation and the identification with our false sense of self.
Realizing who we really are brings us to ...
🔹 Inner Peace & Contentment
🔹 Freedom from Suffering
🔹 Clarity & Wisdom
🔹 Unconditional Love & Compassion
🔹 Resilience & Equanimity
🔹 Creative Expression
🔹 Enhanced Perception
🔹 Unity & Wholeness
In essence, awakening to our true nature is the deepest shift in consciousness that transforms every aspect of our being. It is the realization of our inherent wholeness, freedom and interconnectedness with all of existence bringing about a life of peace and happiness.

Watch the all-new, full-length film, Awakening Mind Films Part 2, "The Mind Unveiled," which made its debut June 24, 2024:
It's been one year since Part I, "Know Thyself" was released. After interviewing another 12 remarkable teachers, authors, scientists, and philosophers, Part 2 of the Awakening Mind Series, “The Mind Unveiled” was released in June.
For those of you who are new to this series...
Know Thyself, Part 1: explores the concept of awakening as the next stage of human development. It emphasizes the recognition of our true nature, which is inherently fully awake and aware. The film addresses the illusion of the separate self, leading to perpetual dissatisfaction, and posits consciousness as the ultimate reality of the universe, a notion gaining traction in modern science. The transformative impact of awakening is highlighted, promoting a shift towards peace, happiness, and interconnectedness.
The Mind Unveiled, Part 2: explores the formation of the ego through socialization, leading to a false individual and psychological identity which begins the cycle of suffering and seeming separateness. "To enter the human experience is to enter a great forgetting, where the conditioned mind creates an illusion of separation and limitation from the very beginning of life as we know it." Part 2 delves into the process of a great forgetting and awakening, where one who begins to awaken disidentifies from the ego and the personal self-identity and realizes their true self as infinite consciousness, bringing true peace, fulfillment and happiness to one’s life. Ultimately, it reveals that consciousness is fundamental reality, and understanding this transforms our experience of life, fostering empathy and a deeper connection with reality and our true nature.
