Nurturing Harmony
Monmouth Center for World Religions and Ethical Thought (MCWRET)
The opening to spiritual awakening occurs with human experiences of love, which is our human experience of harmony/resonance within our fundamental nature, consistent with the universal values of beauty, truth, and goodness. Nurturing harmony is the process of finding ways and methods to bring us back into harmony with the universe and with each other as fellow travelers. Promoting the essential oneness of humanity and learning ways to resolve natural differences and nurturing harmony are inherent goals of the MCWRET.
Music: Michael Rosin, Music Director

March Theme: PAYING ATTENTION
The land is the real teacher. All we need as students is mindfulness. Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving its gifts with open eyes and open heart.
Pay attention to the things that bring a tear to your eye or a lump in your throat because they are signs that the holy is drawing near.
For anyone trying to discern what to do w/ their life: PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU PAY ATTENTION TO. that’s pretty much all the info u need.
When you pay attention to something you don’t especially value, it’s not an exaggeration to say that you’re paying with your life.
Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are.
Your attention is like a combination spotlight and vacuum cleaner: It highlights what it lands on and then sucks it into your brain—for better or worse.
I once had a garden filled with flowers that grew only on dark thoughts but they needed constant attention and one day I decided I had better things to do.
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.
In any moment, on any given day, I can measure my wellness by this question: Is my attention on loving, or is my attention on who isn’t loving me?
