More on Closed versus Open Circles

This the connection between the discussion begun in Episode 1 and completed in Episode 2. Both of those deal with understanding closed versus open groups, what she calls tribes. As she says in this episode, Basic to this understanding is the concept that anything less than All That Is is incomplete and any barrier to seeking that completeness is thwarting the spiritual development of not only the entity but also All That Is. 

We invite you to ponder this understanding, that any and all circles, groups, tribes that do not seek the infinite possibility of All That Is are spiritually not just incomplete but counter to the potential of spiritual existence.

“Basic to this understanding is the concept that anything less than All That Is is incomplete and any barrier to seeking that completeness is thwarting the spiritual development of not only the entity but also All That Is. 

“Any tribe that thinks it has arrived is deluded. Because if there is anything against which to define themselves, there is the assumption that they are not yet fully one with All. When the Hebrews heard the commandment about 'there shall be no other gods before me,' who were those other gods?

Maybe within the laws it was fulfilled, but since it admitted to other ways of being it was both fulfilling and lacking.

“Ok, let’s leave that here for now."
