The Christ Reality

 

 

Wonder Program WW303

 

 

 

Christ is witnessed in creation through the cosmic event. The invitation is extended to come and SEE. This SEEing is a one day experience of sharing and discovery of how matter and spirit which do not appear to be connected are, nonetheless the same. You are invited into this discourse. Each Chapter will follow a format consisting of a presentation followed by dialogue followed by an experiential meditative experience. The focus will be to help you to reaffirm your individual, unique, vision and to challenge the way in which you SEE. This process embraces John Henry Newman's educational first principle whereby all the Disciplines become involved; this is the only way of advancing honestly into the Truth.

 

We start out in Chapter One by SEEing what it means to be a prophet and that we are prophets. We will come to realize that one is more a prophet than a disciple. In Chapter Two we will see how science is revealing through the micro and macro universes our current understanding of the cosmic event that is all about us. This is followed by Chapter Three, a theological verification of unity in search of the ultimate Truth, seeing Christ in the cosmic process. In Chapter Four we examine how that ultimate Truth is a part of us, what we want to learn; the philosophical verification. Chapter Five focuses on how others have described this Truth; this is verification by literature.

 

The Christ Reality, seeks to expose in the prophet a desire to explore: to ask the "WHY?" This dynamic seminar helps the prophet to realize their Quest. This Quest, lies before us, begging to be explored through all the Disciplines; through all of our revelations. If this sounds like a challenge you would like to share with your group or community, you are invited to examine this program in greater detail by contacting the Workshop. This seminar challenges you to embark on your Quest with others of like mind and spirit. It will excite you and vitalize your own discovery and to embolden you on your Quest.

 

If you are seeking an understanding of how it all fits together and how the historical Jesus is an introduction to the risen Christ; this program is for you. If you are seeking to know how this Jesus became the Christ and more importantly; why He became the Christ; you are on a Quest and in the words of St. Francis, you are asking: "Who is Christ?" and "Who am I?" This Seminar will help you to expand the boundaries of this Quest.
