Conversation with AMAG on Sunday, May 23, 2021

The theme of this Conversation with AMAG is Beliefs: What are they and where do they come from? AMAG reminded us that we're "all in this world, this illusion of physicality, together," and advised us to be personally accountable for the thoughts that we entertain. They discussed the concept of identity as a collection of our beliefs, as well as our knowing, that we become devoted to and can carry with us from lifetime to lifetime. In response to questions and answers from the audience, AMAG asked us to look again at our self-definitions and the words that we use to describe conditions and situations. They spoke about the unity of all things within duality, reminding us that when we serve others with love and compassion, we are also in that instant serving ourselves, and vice versa.

The theme of this Sunday's Conversation was remaining true to yourself in the presence of those who are experiencing a completely different worldview. AMAG reminded us that if we can see our reflection in a mirror it means that we are "playing in the game of life." They said: "Your worldview dictates the world that you view." They reminded us that we are not living all together in the same world, but rather are sovereign in our own worlds, unique creations formed by our thoughts, feelings, choices, and actions in this and any other lifetime. AMAG responded to questions from the audience and encouraged us all to enjoy our lives.

AMAG responded to questions submitted prior to the meeting and answered questions from the audience about how to avoid depression and anxiety. They described anxiety as "expecting what you don't want." AMAG discussed a variety of topics, including how to allow ourselves - and the healing process - to unfold naturally without force or impatience. AMAG encouraged us to be entertained by our lives, no matter the conditions, and to appreciate every stage of life, which takes patience as well as courage.
