Rogue Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (RVUUF) Ashland, OR

RVUUF welcomes special guest speaker Dr. Jean Houston. In this passionate, provocative and frequently hilarious talk, Jean Houston will address the creation of a new kind of spirituality, one that she calls Partnership Spirituality.

What is unique in this model is that you are not a dependent, you are a partner with the Divine purpose, the Universal Planner. It involves moving from a life of serial monotony to a life of Second Genesis. It requires a movement from the metaphysical sadomasochism of a dysfunctional theism to ways of building in Partnership with Spirit a new matrix for mind and manifestation. As Meister Eckhart said, “we go beyond god to God.”

The knowledge we gain shows us how to activate the constructive imagination and how to hold in thought and feeling the intention and energy for healing, wholing and co-creation. It shows us how to stop boring God by waking up to the fact that we are here in Godschool to learn the principles of world making and the evolving of self and society. Evolution is seen to follow involution wherein we discover that our minds are star gates, our bodies celled of mysteries that give us keys to the emerging phase of our existence.
