Village View - Month of September - Abode of the Message

Village View – Month of September

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Abode during our campaign to reinvigorate and rejuvenate our beloved courtyard! Those who follow us on social media know that we have begun construction.

We’ll have a big update for you next week!
Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram!

The soul in its manifestation on earth is not at all disconnected from the higher spheres.

It lives in all spheres, though generally conscious only on one plane.

Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan

Based on teachings of Hazrat Inayat Khan, Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan, Pir Zia Inayat Khan and classical Sufism this series of 6 weekly classes will progressively explore the planes of consciousness. Inner degrees, levels or spheres of awakening are described in many spiritual paths. Our historical self image gives us a narrow identity of who we are. An experiential approach to understanding these planes is a means of exploring changes in one’s sense of consciousness at different levels. The goal is not to force experience into a theoretical system, but to awaken awareness of inner states of consciousness.

Practices of the breath, sacred sound, contemplation and meditation will be explored to support the ability to experience the planes. The classes will have time for questions and will include assignments to explore between each session.

Classes will be held from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm ET
September 15, 22, 29 & October 6, 13 and 20

Classes will be recorded and made available to those who register. Donations gratefully received!

Universal Worship
Sunday, September 20 | 11:00 AM ET

You are invited to the next Zoom Universal Worship from the Abode next Sunday, September 20, at 11:00am. In honor of International Day of Peace (the next day, September 21st)—and recognizing the great need of our time—the theme will be Peace.

In the words of Hazrat Inayat Khan:

It is useless to discuss the peace of the world. What is necessary just now is to create peace in ourselves that we ourselves become examples of love, harmony and peace. That is the only way of saving the world and ourselves. Let man try to become more considerate of others; let him ask himself, ‘Of what use am I in the world? Am I born for a certain purpose?’, and then try to train himself in self-control by the mystery of breath, the best means for accomplishing that purpose.

Come explore the ways to create inner peace and celebrate the sharing of outer expressions of peace in our time. Please join us!
