Holy Spirit

Sunday, May 19 we will meet at my office in Binghamton at 2 pm for 15 minutes of silent meditation followed by a discussion of the Holy Spirit. What is the source of the guidance that I describe that is so important for us to accurately discern? In this talk and discussion, we will include consideration of many references to the Spirit in the Bible and attempt to understand the meaning of this term. From my perspective, the Spirit mentioned repeatedly in the Bible is compatible with the meaning behind the Zen term nomind. Similar terms, which I use interchangeably, are Buddha mind, Mind, the mind of Christ, etc. It is this Spirit that Bankei referred to with his wonderful word Unborn. This Spirit is our True Self in action. It is who we are and can’t not be. It is us before our parents were born. We are never separate from It. The Spirit is continuously revealing itself and all of creation. How can we learn to see what is always right here, right now, not only directly in front of us, but in and through us? It is our very Self. Here is a link to the talk: https://www.facebook.com/MichaelHallPhD/videos/626309751114771/
