Foundational Principles of SATS
This document outlines the foundational principles of an organization's facilitator training:
1) It is Bible-based - they view the Bible as fully inspired and trustworthy, and theology must be based on Scripture. Facilitators engage students in theological discussions grounded in confidence in the Bible.
2) It is Christ-centered - their theology focuses on Jesus Christ as the full revelation of God, and their teaching uses a "Christocentric model and principle" to interpret all topics through what Jesus said and did.
3) It is Spirit-led - authentic theology depends on the Holy Spirit to reveal truth and guide understanding of Scripture. They aim to teach and model dependence on the Holy Spirit in theological dialogue

Festivals are important social traditions that bring people together and are repeated with enthusiasm across generations. They reflect humanity's innate desire for perfection and connection. However, if we lose sight of their deeper meaning of beauty and community, festivals can become empty rituals. Namasmaran, or remembering the name of God, is a practice that helps appreciate the subtle realities in life and reconnects our physical selves to our true selves. It is a form of meditation and yoga that leads to unification with our highest consciousness. Namasmaran is an ocean of bliss that is best experienced by many.

The Nature and Purpose of Sacred Time
This document discusses the nature and purpose of sacred time according to Franz Rosenzweig. It explains that sacred time is different from secular time in that it involves "stopping, bending, and forming time in a spiral" focused on God's redemptive goals. Sacred time allows us to experience and re-experience creation, revelation, and redemption, and through living in sacred time we can understand and live in the eternal. The document goes on to discuss specific features of sacred times like the Sabbath, including refraining from work and engaging in rest.
The Method of Centering Prayer
The document provides guidelines for the practice of Centering Prayer, a contemplative prayer method using a sacred word to facilitate opening oneself to God's presence. It describes choosing a sacred word and sitting in silence while gently returning attention to the word when distracted by thoughts. The goal is resting in God through quieting the mind beyond words. Effects are experienced in daily life, not during the prayer itself. Regular practice with a support group helps maintain the commitment.

God_Fellowship_7
This document discusses realities of the body, soul, and spirit. It explains that the body communicates to the soul, and the soul interprets messages from both the body and spirit. The spirit either fills the soul with life from God or death from the flesh. The soul then relays messages back to the body. Visions come from the spirit to the soul. The soul weighs what it receives from the spirit or flesh. Living by the spirit leads to life, while living by the flesh leads to death. Releasing the invisible world involves visions, dreams, and translations from the spirit.
Elders' Development 4 Spirituality and Prayer in the URC
This document discusses spirituality and prayer. It defines prayer as a conscious relationship with God that includes words, thoughts and meditation. Christian spirituality expresses intimacy with the divine through Jesus. Reformed spirituality emphasizes Scripture, openness to the Holy Spirit, creativity, intellectual grappling with faith, and the local church. Personal spirituality is developed within spiritual communities and influences how one views Christ and takes spiritual action. Developing and maintaining spiritual passion requires restoration from draining influences.
Why contemplative-living-is-for-everyone
This document discusses the nature of contemplative living and its relevance for everyone. It argues that contemplation describes how one orients toward and participates in reality, beyond specific prayer styles or personality types. True contemplation, or eucharistic living, incorporates all prayer forms and spiritualities. It proceeds with an abiding awareness, thanksgiving, relationship with God, sustenance from God, and intimate presence of God. Vocational commitments can both deepen and broaden one's contemplative experiences by developing weaker personality functions. While temperaments do not change rapidly, diversity in temperaments is a gift that should be celebrated.

Hindu Rituals
This document discusses several Hindu rituals and their symbolic meanings and significance. It explains why Hindus light lamps, have prayer rooms, greet with namaste, prostrate before elders, wear marks on the forehead, do not touch things with feet, apply holy ash, offer food to God before eating, fast, circumambulate, regard plants as sacred, ring temple bells, worship the kalasha, see the lotus as special, worship tulsi, blow conches, say "shaanti" thrice, offer coconuts, and chant "Om". The rituals are said to symbolize concepts like knowledge, humility, respect, purity, protection, and remembering the divine.
The holy spirit and sanctification
The document discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in sanctification. It makes three key points:
1. The Holy Spirit works to sanctify or make believers holy by dwelling within them. His attribute of holiness allows Him to transform believers and make them distinct from the world.
2. Sanctification is both a position believers have through the Spirit's work, and an ongoing process of being conformed to Christ. It begins at salvation and continues throughout life.
3. Proper sanctification does not deify believers but makes them holy as God is holy yet still fully human. The indwelling Spirit transforms their characters but does not lose their identity.

It discusses classification of spirituality and who it can be applied to. Spiritual practices like prayer and reflection are presented as a way to find meaning and purpose in life.

Soul Manifestation
Man’s highest world of values reflects the highest spiritual conception of love, therefore the focus of true prayer should be in the heart. The most important thing is the love and devotion of the heart, not the external way in which prayer is performed.
Through prayer, one strengthens the bond of love with God until one is equal to the high energy of God. Through the integration of the lover, or prayer, and the Beloved, or God, eventually becomes bliss. Bliss is a high consciousness of oneness, which can also be called contemplative prayer.

Morning watch guide
This document discusses the importance of the morning watch, which refers to the tranquil time in the morning when Christians fellowship with God. It makes three main points:
1) Morning is the time God set for distributing spiritual food to His children, just as the Israelites collected manna in the morning.
2) Morning symbolizes resurrection - it is a time of freshness, vitality and peace before being tarnished by secular concerns.
3) God calls us to fellowship with Him through the resurrected Christ, who provides abundance and fills our hearts with love and joy. Practicing morning watch was exemplified by Jesus and is vital for spiritual strength.
The Spiritist Prayers - By Cairbar Schutel
The collection of prayers in this booklet results from a choice made among various prayers dictated to us by the Spirits in different circumstances. They could have dictated others, in other terms, appropriate to certain ideas or specific cases.
However, the manner doesn't matter if the thought is the same.
The purpose of prayer is to elevate our souls to God.
The diversity of formulas should not make any difference between those who believe or disbelieve in their efficacy and even less so amid adherents of Spiritism, as God accepts all prayers if they are sincere
The Language of Spiritual Formation and Contemplative Spirituality
The document discusses the language and concepts of spiritual formation and contemplative spirituality. It notes that the language of spiritual formation was lost around the time of the Modernist-Fundamentalist controversy in the early 20th century, as both liberal and conservative Christians shifted their focus away from spiritual growth. The language has re-emerged with a desire for spiritual renewal and transformation into Christ's likeness. Contemplative spirituality emphasizes giving thoughtful attention to God through spiritual practices like prayer, meditation, and silence. The goal is a deepening love for God that sustains evangelical activity and vision. As Christians engage in spiritual formation, it promises benefits for individuals and communities by cultivating a spiritual depth to impact society.
Deepening-ones-Spirituality.pptx
This document discusses spirituality and spiritual intelligence in teaching primary grades. It defines spiritual intelligence as relating to one's relationship with God and awareness of oneself. It discusses the nature of spiritual life as involving communion with God alone in prayer, community with others, and giving to others in ministry. It presents ways of living spiritually as fleeing distractions, being silent for prayer and reflection, and praying daily. The spirituality of the teacher is about presenting genuine warmth and caring as an indication of a healthy spiritual life. Teaching spirituality is conveying a lifestyle and nurturing formation rather than just delivering information.
Homily: Ash Wednesday 2019
Deacon Jim Knipper discusses different types of prayer and invites listeners to try a more meditative form of prayer during Lent. Transactional prayers that involve telling God what we want are common, but may not facilitate inner transformation. Jesus taught praying in secret and being still. The Desert Fathers and Mothers practiced quiet, meditative prayer to commune with God. When we listen instead of speak in prayer, God listens and our inner being can reconcile. This type of prayer can foster peace within and reflection in others.
The Nature and Purposes of Sacred Space - Part 3
This document discusses the roles and responsibilities of priests and Levites in ancient Israel based on passages from the Torah. It explores what these rules and standards might mean for modern clergy and for an "internal priesthood" that facilitates sacred encounters within ourselves. Key points include: priests were expected to maintain high personal and ritual standards to properly serve as mediators between people and God; separation from ordinary or grieving experiences was important so priests could be fully focused on sacred duties; support of Levites by the community allowed them to devote themselves fully to religious roles rather than other concerns. The document suggests these concepts may provide guidance on cultivating an "inner priesthood" to lead ourselves to greater holiness.
Meditating on the word
Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German Lutheran pastor and theologian who stood against the Nazi regime. He saw meditation on Scripture as essential for Christians. According to Bonhoeffer, meditation allows God's word to dwell within us and speak to us throughout the day. He advocated starting each morning with quiet prayer and Scripture meditation to prepare for the day and allow God to open our hearts before being distracted by the world. Meditation helps Christians know and obey God more fully.
Elaborating on Some Important Concepts of The Quran
The document elaborates on important concepts from the Quran, including:
- Allah is the one and only Creator and Governor of all existence, who possesses perfect attributes without defects.
- Humans were created for Allah's ibadat, meaning to serve, worship, obey and devote oneself to Allah.
- Believers are told to engage in tasbih, declaring that Allah is free from imperfections through heart and tongue.
- Allah is Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim, conveying fullness of love, mercy, forgiveness and goodness for all, without regard to effort.
- During difficulties, believers are asked to have sabr, controlling oneself, enduring without complaining
Lessons from Surah Al-Kahf (Part I)
The document summarizes lessons from the first part of Surah Al-Kahf in the Quran. It covers verses 1 to 45. Some of the key lessons include showing gratitude to Allah for revealing the Quran, not feeling sadness if others don't follow its message, knowing that worldly possessions are a test from Allah, conveying the Quran's message to others, persevering in good deeds, and recognizing that this life is temporary. The overall message is about properly understanding and applying the teachings from the stories and verses in this section of the Quran.

Application of Functions in Business and Economics
Functions can model relationships between variables in business and economics. A function y=f(x) indicates that the dependent variable y depends on the independent variable x. For a business, total cost C can be a function of quantity produced Q, written as C=f(Q). Similarly, revenue R can be a function of Q, as R=f(Q). Profit π can then be derived as π=R-C. As an example, if a business has total cost function C=150+7Q and revenue function R=20Q, then the profit function is π=20Q-150-7Q. For multivariate functions with multiple independent variables, total cost C could depend on quantities
Reflections on The Holy Quran
The passage provides a reflection on Surah Al-Fatiha, the first chapter of the Quran. It summarizes that the surah establishes Allah as the creator and governor of the universe who is infinitely compassionate. It notes the surah addresses why evil exists by stating Allah will judge between good and evil. It also explains the surah teaches that only Allah should be worshipped and that believers should seek guidance from the Quran and teachings of Muhammad to stay on the "straight path" pleasing to Allah.
Lessons from Al-Quran
The document lists lessons from the Quran on how to live according to Islamic principles. It advises beginning tasks by invoking God, expressing gratitude after completion, praying for all believers, being mindful of judgment day, praying five times daily, spending on others, speaking kindly, restraining anger, lowering one's gaze, avoiding assumptions, acting fairly, advising good and forbidding wrong, eating moderately, respecting parents, loving the Prophet Muhammad and God above all else, and remembering God with reverence. It emphasizes that the Quran places greatest importance on purifying the heart through lifelong effort, with eternal bliss as reward.
