We meet every second Sunday at 12pm til 1pm Brisbane time in the Bookstore on Avatar’s Abode.
This is also a Zoom meeting as well as an event on Avatar’s Abode. To receive the Zoom details please send a text to Jim Frisino on 0417 112 668 and I will send you the Zoom link along with a PDF of the Effort and Grace book.
We also have a WhatsApp group just for those who are interested in Effort and Grace, it is specifically focused on Effort and Grace discussions and sharing, so not an open group for other general discussions.
About Effort and Grace
Darwin Shaw put together his book Effort and Grace in his 90s, passing on to us what he had gathered from his 60 years, starting in the 1930s, of close personal and inner connection with Meher Baba. The book explores ways we can work towards increasing our inner connection with the Divine, while being continuously supported by the ongoing Grace of the master, Meher Baba. It’s about the process of readjusting the normal life preoccupations, focused on ego gratification, towards one of self effacement and true inner freedom. That the goal of a deeper, richer spiritual awakening, here and now, is within our reach, if we are willing to make the effort, by His Grace.
Our hour sessions are a communal reading of Effort and Grace where we read and absorb each paragraph, one at a time, followed by an open but focused discussion, for sharing insights, reactions or questions that a particular paragraph may have stimulated. The combination of Darwin’s words and the group’s sharing in response, can be a richly rewarding and insightful experience as testified by those who have taken part in our sessions over the past few months.
