Collective Autumn Triduum Vigil: Today we find ourselves in the middle of the the Autumn Triduum. November 1st, All Saints’ Day or All Hallow’s Day, has traditionally been a day of honoring and celebrating the saints of the Christian tradition.
Before moving forward, I’d like to pause and summarize what was covered previously. We have been talking about two sides of a human being. On the one side, which we call the outer person, are the familiar concepts of knowledge, truth, personality, ego, the horizontal timeline of life, often referred to as World 48. On the inner side of a human being we have Good, Essence (also called true self), higher realms, World 24, what Jesus/Yeshua refers to as the Kingdom.

Collective Autumn Triduum Vigil: It is the first day of the Autumn Triduum, October 31st, All Saints' Eve or Halloween. As we join with one another in vigil across this passage way from death to life, it is important to recognize the main overarching theme of this type of passage which is, in the words of Cynthia Bourgeault, to taste that in ourselves which already lies beyond death in order that we might begin to live from that place now.
This communiqué will be posted to Wisdom Waypoints in three parts. The format is to offer a selection of Maurice’s teachings on several major ideas, many quoted directly, interspersed with Logia from the Gospel of Thomas—hoping that you too can hear the harmonies.
In this short section, Cynthia takes us through a brief history of the practice, exploring Centering Prayer as not only a devotional method but also a deep purification process for the unconscious psycho- spiritual detritus of a lifetime...
This coming month we will be working with Part II in Cynthia Bourgeault’s Book Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening, entitled: The Tradition of Centering Prayer, Chapters 6, 7 and 8.
We are just about to begin our next Foundational Wisdom Practice Book Circle, Series I, in which people will gather to engage one of Cynthia’s principle books Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening. This Wisdom Practice Book Circle will be an opportunity to anchor us amidst the growing intensity of current conditions in the psychological, biological, and spiritual atmosphere individually and collectively.
