"As this purification continues to take place in our hearts, we see the world differently and the world changes."
by Maureen Lakin and Larry Krantz
Maureen Lakin: A warm greeting to you all this morning, this afternoon, or this evening.
Last Sunday at the Tone of Life gathering, Christina Pivarnik, Allen Guisinger and Andrew Shier shared their experience with horses. They spoke from their hearts of their love for these beautiful horse-beings and, in turn, the horses’ responses of devotion, love, and trust. Christina read a poem called, “The Painted Horse of the Wind.” There was a line in that poem, in reference to this horse, the essence of which I’ve carried in my thoughts this past week: “He came not with noise, but with Presence”.

Larry Krantz: Today, Joyce and I would like to consider the magic of consciousness. To begin our time, here is an excerpt from a video that I find quite remarkable. It shows a portion of a love theme played by an orchestra in Hong Kong. The amazing part is that the featured pianist is a three-year-old boy. Here it is: https://toneoflife.org/recordings/Baby-Barron.mp4

Allan Jonas: A warm welcome to everyone, and I mean a warm welcome. We actually hit 50 degrees Fahrenheit yesterday in Calgary, so I have shed my winter coat.
It’s a real treat to be with you and also to be able to work with Larry this morning. In this moment, we find ourselves, as many would say, in challenging and trying times. There’s a lot of fear, angst, turmoil, and uncertainty out there. But we bring calm, perspective, and assurance. “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.” (Song of Solomon 2:10)

Sanford Baran: Good morning, everyone. Nine of us have been gathering for our Tone of Life coordinators’ weekend here in the desert at Larry and Joyce’s home in beautiful Oro Valley, Arizona. Our gathering began on Friday evening and we’ve been engaged in some interesting and substantial discussions, enjoying lovely meals together and appreciating each other’s company. I thought you might enjoy a few photographs that capture the flavor and spirit of the rich and substantial time we’ve been sharing together. Watch the photo slide show
So, without further ado I’ll hand it over to John.

By Larry Krantz
Like most of us, I do things to exercise my brain and body: crosswords and puzzles, as well as cycling and swimming. Also, I play golf with a group of men, which is socially useful. I’ve been instructed how to hold my hands on the golf club and shift my weight and a dozen checkpoints on a swing that takes less than two seconds. With so many conflicting thoughts it is not surprising I often don’t know where the golf ball will go!

by Larry and Joyce Krantz
Larry Krantz: For today’s meditation, Joyce and I would like to consider male and female energies. This is a sacred area that has been brought low and made coarse in human affairs. To consider this with clarity of vision, we need to carry a sense of sacredness and care, to see from a high vantage point.

"In this unity of heaven and earth—the action of being incorporated—is the essence and origin of true agreement."
by Sanford Baran and Larry Krantz
Sanford Baran: Do you ever hear the voice of spirit? I do.
Indeed, spirit does speak to us—a lot! It’s heard as there is sufficient attentiveness and substance to be aware of it, and intentionality is critical. The voice of spirit can be easily drowned out by mental chatter, stuff rattling around in consciousness, which can muffle and obscure our connection to this profound reality that speaks to us all the time.
