Meeting 31

Reading the program's books and the meaning of sacrifice

How is the reading of the program's books going, and why does the same book read differently for each person? Alexander asks the participants about “Practical Worldview” and “To Those Who Seek, Wait, and Are Loved” and gives each of them their own deadline, speaks about the energy of capture and the spiritual being in hibernation, and then moves from the question “Has anyone ever sacrificed themselves for you?” to the text “Sacrifice,” which the group reads five times a day for the whole week.

Your question

How can I read the program's books not out of obligation but by engaging with their energy, and what does it mean for me to sacrifice myself?

  • For those who read the program's books and notice that their reading sometimes flows and sometimes stops
  • For those to whom the question of sacrifice matters, both spiritual and everyday

“If you relate to life as a part of the spiritual world, understanding that there is no sacrifice in the material world or in the spiritual one — there is sacrifice, there is the energy of this sacrifice.”

This is a recording of a live meeting with participants' questions and examples. The topics describe its contents; they are not an outline for a separate course.

What makes it different

The meeting begins with a round on the books people have read, in which each person gets their own reading deadline, and moves to the question of sacrifice: what a person understands by it and why in the spiritual world it does not divide into the material and the spiritual.

After watching

Return to your own experience.

  1. Has anyone sacrificed themselves for me — and for whom am I ready to?
  2. Where does my sacrifice divide into “my own” and “others”?
  3. What thoughts and sensations come when I read the text “Sacrifice”?
These questions for personal reflection were prepared by the editors from the recording.
