BHŪMA-VIDYĀ Crossing Sorrow through Self-Knowledge The seventh chapter of Chāndogya Upaniṣad reveals the nature of the self as free of sorrow. The dialogue between the disciple, Nārada, and the teacher, Sanata Kumāra, deals with the issue of sorrow: Where does sorrow come from? Does it arise from within the self, or from without? Why does it appear to have such a debilitating hold? How can one totally overcome sorrow? During this retreat, we will study relevant portions of the seventh chapter and understand the nature of the self in the light of its teachings. The Chāndogya Upaniṣad traces the root cause of all sorrow to self-ignorance. Not knowing that one is limitlessly whole allows one to wrongly conclude that the self is subject to saṁsāra, a sense of lack and bondage. Through a unique teaching methodology, the Upaniṣad totally falsifies this conclusion and allows one to see that that the self is not subject to sorrow: "Tarati śokam ātmavit," the knower of the self crosses sorrow. Assimilating the truth of this sentence by listening to the sacred teachings at the coast in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, and in satsaṅga (companionship with seekers of truth) is indeed a real gift. We invite you to embark on this salient journey of self discovery.

“HU is woven into the language of life. It is the Sound of all sounds. It is the wind in the leaves, falling rain, thunder of jets, singing of birds, the awful rumble of a tornado. Its sound is heard in laughter, weeping, the din of city traffic, ocean waves, and the quiet rippling of a mountain stream. And yet, the word HU is not God. It is a word people anywhere can use to address the Originator of Life.” - Sri Harold Klemp, Spiritual Leader of ECKANKAR, Religion of the Light and Sound of God.

PRAYERWORKS
-- Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.
A Discussion with the Eugene Chief of Police
Police Chief Peter Kerns will discuss the kinds of violence regularly confronting our local police force.
PrayerWorks is a spiritual initiative bringing the power of prayer to bear on community concerns. It is sponsored by First Church of Christ, Scientist, Eugene. People of all faiths are welcome and encouraged to participate.
Recently, our community has seen heartbreaking reports of increased violence in our area alongside news of budget cuts and constraints in social service and law enforcement agencies. Can individual and collective prayer for community safety help? We've found that it can, and we are inviting community members to join us in an effort to support and sustain a safer community with prayer.
Our project begins October 30th with an inspirational "how to" talk on effective prayer. This will be followed by three meetings (in November, January and April) featuring local speakers working on the front lines against violence. Each follow-up meeting will include brainstorming discussion on how to pray effectively about the challenges discussed by the speaker. We hope those attending will commit to regular prayer for our community. PrayerWorks 2011-2012 will conclude with an inspirational talk in May.
Below are the PrayerWorks topics and dates through May of 2012. All events are free and will take place at First Church of Christ, Scientist, 1390 Pearl St., Eugene. Childcare will be provided.
Does your faith community want to join this initiative? Or do you have an idea you'd like to bring to the project? Please call (541) 344-6341 with your ideas or for more information.

Raja Yoga Meditation Course
with Walter Carell

Himalayan Yoga
390 West 12th Avenue, Suite 202, 2nd floor

Cost: $70
Meditation is a very pleasant and precise method where the mind becomes calm, relaxed and focused. Meditation makes our lives more serene and fulfilling. It does this by introducing yourself to the center of consciousness within. More than a method, it is a joyful experience. This inner process is so profound and interesting that we may seek to make it a regular part of our day.
This is an in-depth course which balances two aspects, the practice and the theory of meditation according to the system of Raja Yoga. The course includes the training in the essential components of meditation including the important preparatory practices; instruction of sequential techniques of meditation; the transmission of meditation—transmitting its consciousness and method; and includes guidance into subtleties of application. Guided by Walter Carell who has dedicated his life to training and research in the field of meditation and has gone to the original sources of meditation systems by practicing under traditional exponents in India.

Soul of the Heart Sacred Circle
with Catherine VanWetter
Thursdays from 7 PM - 9 PM
The Soul of the Heart Sacred Circle combines Hellinger's Systemic Constellation Work and sacred ceremony. It is an experiential process, working at a deep soul level. This heart-based approach brings more immediate and lasting impact than techniques that address the mind alone.
Through constellation work, we uncover hidden generational dynamics which create obstacles that prevent us from living our lives well. Shifts occur on a systemic level so that we can experience the natural flow of love, strength and support within our lives.

A place to realize that it is our thoughts and beliefs about our 'self' which cause us to protect, defend and suffer.

Plus.... There will be special session of shamanic breathwork to further our opening.

Finding yourself stressed, overwhelmed and anxious with everything going on around you? Does your world, internally & externally, seem out of control?
Hypnosis is a powerful tool to release stress.

Raja Yoga Meditation Course
with Walter Carell

Himalayan Yoga
390 West 12th Avenue, Suite 202, 2nd floor

Cost: $70
Meditation is a very pleasant and precise method where the mind becomes calm, relaxed and focused. Meditation makes our lives more serene and fulfilling. It does this by introducing yourself to the center of consciousness within. More than a method, it is a joyful experience. This inner process is so profound and interesting that we may seek to make it a regular part of our day.
This is an in-depth course which balances two aspects, the practice and the theory of meditation according to the system of Raja Yoga. The course includes the training in the essential components of meditation including the important preparatory practices; instruction of sequential techniques of meditation; the transmission of meditation—transmitting its consciousness and method; and includes guidance into subtleties of application. Guided by Walter Carell who has dedicated his life to training and research in the field of meditation and has gone to the original sources of meditation systems by practicing under traditional exponents in India.

Soul of the Heart Sacred Circle
with Catherine VanWetter
Thursdays from 7 PM - 9 PM
The Soul of the Heart Sacred Circle combines Hellinger's Systemic Constellation Work and sacred ceremony. It is an experiential process, working at a deep soul level. This heart-based approach brings more immediate and lasting impact than techniques that address the mind alone.
Through constellation work, we uncover hidden generational dynamics which create obstacles that prevent us from living our lives well. Shifts occur on a systemic level so that we can experience the natural flow of love, strength and support within our lives.
Unity of the Valley, Fillmore Rm., upstairs, garden ramp to back door
