More Light is a center dedicated to the growth of our inner lives and spiritual consciousness. We use both traditional and experimental approaches to study and enjoy ourselves while developing a deeper connection to the sacred. By the term "sacred" we mean a setting aside of our normal associations and attitudes in an effort to find meanings and patterns of significance that we do not normally experience. We place special value on certain ideas and activities which may be described as treating them as sacred, meaning not to be dealt with in the same casual way we handle the usual events in our lives. We believe that by the application and development of our powers of attention we can facilitate transformative processes that lead to greater wholeness. We utilize many models - both ancient and modern - in this work. One of these models (or metaphors) is that of owning a large and beautiful house but living only in a small room in the basement. As we move toward wholeness, we can explore more and more of the rooms of the house, giving us the freedom to pick and choose among the rooms those which might serve us best at any given time. We wish to "shine more light" into the dark areas of our minds and lives. Many of our actions and attitudes are not consciously chosen, but programmed: automatic. When we react automatically, we are not free. In order to exercise more choice, we need to find a way to study our lives to see where we are constrained. We offer the opportunity to explore a number of techniques and models for understanding how our lives operate, and for enhancing these operations to provide more energy, more joy, and more happiness - in short: more light. From the beginning of time light has connoted God-energy and divine knowledge. In calling for MORE LIGHT, we are expressing humanity's historical cry for a clearer connection to the Source of all being. Where there is more light, there is more knowing, more openess, more understanding, and more freedom. Consequently there is MORE LIFE! We invite you to join us in our studies and activities that are meant to bring more radiant light energy into our lives and into the life of the planet.
