We will view video "Could You Elaborate On Ego Versus Healthy Self-Esteem?"
by Eckhart Tolle (11 minutes, click to view)  on Wednesday June 26, at 7:00 pm. 
Eckhart is a spiritual teacher and author who was born in Germany and educated at the Universities of London and Cambridge.  Eckhart’s profound yet simple teachings have already helped countless people throughout the world find inner peace and greater fulfillment in their lives. At the core of the teachings lies the transformation of consciousness, a spiritual awakening that he sees as the next step in human evolution. An essential aspect of this awakening consists in transcending our ego-based state of consciousness. This is a prerequisite not only for personal happiness but also for the ending of violence on our planet.
Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday June 26, 2019, 7:00 pm
