Next, we must limit admission to the group only to those who play …

Do you consider yourself to be kind and thoughtful? To be accepting of others? To be fun and engaging? Do you feel like you relate with so many, yet have met so many who rashly assume they probably won't relate with you? Do you feel like people seem to genuinely like who you are, yet even so, somehow don't quite know what to do with you in "their world?" Perhaps you almost feel like you're expected to focus on aligning your being with some kind of niche community or sub-culture, based on some di …

The ultimate freedom is to have a completely clear and free mind. The human mind is always changing and is always trying to add more desirable experiences. There is no end to this addition. The way to find peace and clarity is to know the real world, the True world, by subtracting the past that has been recorded and stored within the body and mind as pictures. There is nothing more valuable than one's mind. It shapes the entire world that one knows. Through subtracting in Maum Meditation the Uni …

Most people in the United States these days have a huge disconnect from the natural environment. From my perspective this lack of connection is one of the main reasons for illnesses, both mental and physical, in the world today. I enjoy teaching outdoor skills and I consider all of them to be pathways towards a more intimate relationship with the natural environment. This group is for all ages, races, religions, and conditions of people. Anybody can participate as much or as little as they like, …

Sometimes it seems like all us atheists do is rail against the onslaught of organized religion and its influence on society. (I admit, I do my share of that.) But I’d also like to think we’re willing to give back to society with our minds and bodies, to help make a better world. So let’s do it! Working with LA Works, I’ll keep us abreast of good deeds we can do as a group – be it cleaning up a beach, helping the homeless, or whatever. Then we’ll have fun doing it, and maybe have a bite to eat af …

A spiritual fire has ignited in Bakersfield. Revelation has been fulfilled exactly according to the Bible, and the one who has seen and heard the events is testifying to the fulfillment of the New Testament prophecies. Every believer must hear this; this is something that has never happened before and will never happen again. Currently, follow-up studies from the Open Bible Seminar that took place in Bakersfield are being offered free of cost through the internet, and hundreds of thousands of Ch …

So....heres who we are... Every Sunday for the past year an extraordinary group of …

Recovering From Religion is a support group for people letting go of religion. If you are one of the many people who have determined that religion no longer has a place in their life, but are still dealing with the after-effects in some way or another, Recovering From Religion (RR) may be just the right spot for you. Many people come to a point that they no longer accept the supernatural explanations for the world around them, or they realize just how much conflict religious belief creates. It c …

It's becoming increasingly clear that technology is reshaping our world in incredibly profound ways. Let's get together to discuss, think, argue and explore what this change means for our most deeply felt beliefs. What is the value/purpose/meaning of a human life in a world where we're increasingly outdated? I anticipate this group being a discussion/reading/movie watching group. I've got some authors I'd like to explore (Ray Kurzweil, Thomas Carlson, John Modern among others) and movies I want …

We are a group seeking to follow Jesus through learning what it means to be disciples, caring for one and making the world a better place. We gather a couple times a month for meal + learning + prayer + communion, once a month to just have fun and once a month to do service (local homeless ministry) - we have United Methodist roots and welcome people from all walks of life.

This is a great group for anyone interested in the most important connection in the history of thought. Two very profound areas of philosophy and thinking emerged in civilization -- The East and The West. There are so many interesting intersections but there have only been a handful of thinkers like Carl Jung or Herman Hesse that have let these traditions speak to each other. Our exploration is more than "he said, she said." We will generate a new way of looking at the world through our journey.

What if people got together mainly because they are people? What if we shared with one another, expressed our desires and fears honestly, and connected without worrying so much about external influences; money, work, cars, technology, activities, etc.? In other words, what if we started at the beginning; with our own humanity? What if we worked together to make a place where ANYONE with ANY label can join and be themselves, as long as they don't hurt or compromise others? I don't know for sure, …
