A sacred course in five parts, ninety-nine meetings.
A Sacred Educational Course
A 99-meeting course built on a parable of light, the prism, the tablets, and the rainbow staircase. God is light. The prism guides our travel. The tablets carry the ten words. The rainbow is a staircase of light. Guided forward, we become light.
Session Zero
This opening session prepares participants for the full 99-meeting course.
Part 1
Meetings 1–7
Part one is the most foundational and the heaviest. It is saturated in the identity of God as light and as love. Yeshuah of Nazareth is the light of the world, the meeting facilitator, the soul of creation. Light leads creation into a face-to-face encounter with God.
Meeting 1
Brief
Light is the love leader. God is light. God is love. Light is love.
Explore the sun as the metaphor of God's movement toward creation. Yeshuah is the light of the world, the great meeting facilitator, descending into darkness to lead us into union with God.
Meeting 2
Brief
Love is not a state. Love is an ordered activity.
Build a map of love: the lover seeks, joins, and attaches. The loved receives and responds in kind. The result is a new shape — the two becoming one, sharing being.
Meeting 3
Brief
The three withs of creation: God alone, God with creation, God within creation.
GOD WANTS TO SEEK YOU — the Father, glory beyond. GOD WANTS TO JOIN WITH YOU — the Son, the word and soul of creation. GOD WANTS TO ATTACH WITHIN YOU — the Spirit, glory within the created microcosm.
Meeting 4
Brief
The Yahweh formula: God revealing God. God is always the lover who initiates.
Study the shapes God takes to do the activity of love. The face of God revealing himself. The pre-shaping required for each step of the lover's movement.
Meeting 5
Brief
Who is God approaching when he approaches us? You are beloved.
You are God's beloved child. You are pleasing to God. You are chosen by God. This is our true identity before him — the word of the gospel.
Meeting 6
Brief
The Shema is the response of the loved to the lover.
Being the responder to God the lover when we are the loved. The shema as the form of loving love back.
Meeting 7
Brief
Giving my flesh and blood as a meal to my neighbor.
Being the responder to God the lover when we are the loved through creation — neighbor love, love neighbor as yourself. The final movement of God is light, bridging into the prism.
