Asking and Answering Albert's Question: Is the Universe Friendly?
An exploration with Judith Garten
Years ago Albert Einstein posed the query “What’s the most important question you can ask in life? Is the universe a friendly place or not?” Our rigorous self-inquiry in the Pathwork asks us the same question.
If we sit with this question, peeling away the top layers of facade and shallow response, we may just discover the true seed of our discontent.
We may find out that our lack of bravery to love and, our penchant for over activity or non receptivity and vice versa is directly related to of how we see the universe as, not only unfriendly but, hostile and against us. Our unfulfillments in work, in relationships, and in life in general are a consequence of our crooked concept of Life.
Let’s get together and put this right once and for all. Bring your best intentions, your curiosity, and your benign presence to explore this important question.
Judith Garten is a teacher and helper. Her work is rooted in Moira Shaw’s 50/50 Work which has illuminated the Pathwork lectures and made them more accessible. She is a frequent leader of workshops, retreats and trainings in personal and group transformation. She teaches worldwide and has found excitement in bringing these remarkable teachings to groups as far ranging as the Hutus and Tutsi of Rwanda, managers of Fortune 500 companies and HIV-infected drug addicts from East New York.
CCC Day is sponsored by our Board. St. Luke’s church, whose priest is our own Ernie Curtin, will be our home for the day. See directions below.
