Love on the Spiritual Path

Deborah Ussery Letofsky and Morton Letofosky will be

discussing love on the spiritual path at the Jung Center in Houston. This is a two part lecture series, however each lecture also stands on it’s own. How does love impact and inform our spiritual journey? What does love mean to us? How does it manifest as we learn to discriminate its many forms? We will use these two evenings to explore boundless love and the many ways it touches our consciousness and opens our hearts. We will examine interactively the elements of our consciousness that obscure and obstruct our access to love in our experience, and begin to see how love manifests to deepen our understanding of our true nature. Dates: Tuesdays, January 26th, 2016 and April 26th, 2016 from 7:00pm-8:30pm Visit the Jung Center to register. The cost is $20 ($15 for Jung Center members) per lecture.

The Courageous Heart: An Introduction to the Diamond Approach

Thursday, June 18 – 7:00 PM— 14414 Overview Drive, Dallas, TX 75254 How can we authentically relate to others? The courageous heart is willing to love regardless of the conditions that are present. Whether a friend, family, or love relationship, the capacity to work with the difficulties that arise in relationship develops over time and involves working with barriers to real relating. When we see what is actually happening between two people and allow it to happen, the relationship potential becomes more real. We can see ourselves and other more as we are than as we want or expect them to be. Your Teacher Mike Boone is a teacher in the Ridhwan School, home of the Diamond Approach, a spiritual teaching devoted to realiz- ing our full human potential. He has been involved in the Diamond Approach since 1981 and teaches in groups

located in Boulder, Houston, and Italy. The Diamond Approach®, developed by the renowned philosopher and teacher A.H. Almaas is a spiritual teaching taught in groups and to individuals in Texas and around the world. In this class, we will discuss the potential for relation- ship and what it means to be a student of this Approach. The presentation will include opportunities for experiential learning, personal inquiry, and group discussion.

Sharing Realization

In our journey to realization of the “Authenticity” of what we truly are, we often find that we want this authentic Living Presence to be available to those persons we care about. We find that we are interested in other’s recognition of their Authenticity, their True Nature. this naturally brings in the question of relationship with ourself and other. this interest in relationship is fundamental to human beings. it sparks a curious interest about other and a desire for their happiness and well being. So when we look more closely, we may find that it is not our well being alone that interests us. We could speak of this interest, this curiosity and heartfelt desire as the function of a “flame”. It is a “Flame” that is an aspiration for the Truth of what we authentically are inseparable from the Truth of what others are. So we naturally want to live and be that Truth with ourselves and others. it is truly a living “Flame” that resides in the heart of our living consciousness. As it becomes fired by the heart’s unceasing love of what is true, it ignites our soul’s journey in all aspects of living, whether it be in our own most intimate practices or in relationship with others. It ignites a true wish for all of humanity. We want to explore this aspiration for true relating, for true relationship, from the perspective of the Diamond Approach logos. We hope to ignite and touch that flame in this presentation. Perhaps we can touch this curiosity together and discover the “Flame of the Path” as it relates to relating with other. Your Teachers Morton Letofsky was one of A.H. Almaas’ first students. He is President of the Ridhwan Foundation, Director of the Mid-Region Seminary Program and Senior Lead Teacher for both Hawai’i diamond Approach Group and Gulf Coast Diamond Approach Group.

Friends and Lovers: An Introduction to the Diamond Approach

“What is it to be a true friend? What are our ideas about being a true friend? And what about being a lover, how is that different from being a true friend? What is it like to be a lover? It has been said that the friend is the true mind and the lover is the true heart. What is the truth in this statement and is it possible to be both at the same time? Come and explore these questions for yourself using the main practice of inquiry in the Diamond Approach.”

The Diamond Approach®, developed by the renowned philosopher and teacher A.H. Almaas is a spiritual teaching taught in groups and to individuals in Texas and around the world. In this class, we will discuss the potential for relationship and what it means to be a student of this Approach.
