Posted: Sun Nov 23, 2008 6:22 pm Post subject: The last thing I want to do |
|
|
I am looking for input.
I am on the verge of hiring a hall and holding quickening meetings.
I have chosen to do it because in all honesty it is the last thing that I want to do, so you see it is a must.
Quickening meets will invite anyone at all with anything to discuss either every day or spiritual or material etc, and that just ain't my thing. Hence the need to do it.
I will be adding the element of meditation and seeing where it goes.
The idea behind it is to give people a different perspective on their life situations.
After that I shall do as I have always done. Wing it. _________________ Please visit our main site |

What the hell is a 'quickening meeting'???
I thought that was something that happened to pregnant women when they have a bit of a funny turn. |

I'm pleased you asked that Raymond because I don't have a clue.
The basic principle is that all are welcome to come and talk about anything they wish.
Plenty of people are facing problems alone and meeting others and talking about them often helps.
There would also be an element of meditation and self discovery.
yes it does sound nuts and it may not work, but i have to do it because I don't want too.
There will be no religion or proselytising. Just people coming together instead of fighting each other. _________________ Please visit our main site |

Sounds a bit like a debating society. I was involved with a debating group many years ago.
There was 1 rule, we could talk about absolutely anything we liked except religion or politics.
Not a lot was said. |

I don't see it as being a debating society. In fact it won't be.
It will be more of a discussion group.
a lot of people have never meditated in their lives and I have seen the changes that can come when people make self realsations.
We shall see. _________________ Please visit our main site |

It will be held at Southend on Sea.

Is all this a ploy so you can go boy-racing up and down the sea front? |

I wouldn't mind going and being the 'disruptive influence' and make Hobbsy work for his money.
Southend is a bit far and I did kind of promise the Police I would never go back when they asked me to leave 11 years ago. |

That's a shame Raymond, but never mind.
Did the pub in Southend get a bit too lively Raymond?
Oh by the way you can be disruptive because the guy I am doing this with is a martial arts instructor and guess what.
He used to train above your old pub in Southend.

I don't think he trained above my pub during my watch.
Yes you could say the pub earned a bit of a 'reputation' while I was there. Ahhh, many an evening I have been carted off in the back of a meat wagon with a brawling Lesbian under each arm.
Happy days.

Back to the topic.
We have decided to use the Freight house at Rochford for our meets.
It's nice there but the problem is that it's fifty ponds a night. Still if it is under subscribed it can be moved. If we make a profit it will go to charity.
The basis is going to be a place where anyone can come and talk about their lives mixed with meditations on the Quickening, and of course discussion on the meditations should people wish to talk about it.
Disscusion will have one rule as follows. You cannot offer opinions without having first hand experience of the topic
Thing is I don't really have much idea on how to word any publicity that we shall be putting out.
We are non religious and will not preach our beliefs but if anyone wants to look deeper into what we are trying to teach then of course we will be only too pleased to oblige.
I have no idea if it will work and i do realise that some will come along just to show how clever they are.
We shall see.
Any ideas on wording the publicity would be welcome.
