Next meeting and theme
A Gentle Reminder - Our next meeting is Thursday 28th May, 2009 at 6:45pm Venue - We meet at the church house of St Mary’s Catholic Church in South Brisbane. This Week's Theme– Our reading groups will continue with The Power of Now and A New Earth. The video is “The Secret of Happiness”. Extract from Oneness with all Life Your primary purpose is to enable consciousness to flow into what you do. The secondary purpose is whatever you want to achieve through the doing. Whereas the notion of purpose before was always associated with the future, there is now a deeper purpose that can only be found in the present, through the denial of time.
