WAKE UP!!!

GOD IS WAITING.

Right where you are.

Come to the de Mello Conference at Epiphany 22st and Second Ave.

WHEN THE DISCIPLES ASKED THE MASTER WHY HE HAD
HIDDEN THE SECRET OF AWARENESS FROM THEM,
HE ANSWERED: “I HAVE HIDDEN NOTHING FROM YOU.”
AS THEY CONTINUED WALKING ALONG TOGETHER,
A BIRD WAS SINGING IN A TREE.
THE MASTER ASKED: “DID YOU HEAR THE BIRD SINGING?”
“YES”, REPLIED THE DISCIPLES.
“NOW YOU KNOW”, SAID THE MASTER,
“I HAVE HIDDEN NOTHING FROM YOU”.

“YES” REPLIED THE DISCIPLES.

THROUGH STORIES LIKE THIS, DISCUSSION,
AWARENESS EXERCISES, TALKS AND LAUGHTER,
YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE JOY THAT COMES
FROM LIVING SIMPLY IN THE MOMENT WHICH
AFTER ALL IS THE PRESENCE OF GOD.

Stop Searching for God--
A conference in the Spirit of Anthony de Mello, S.J.

Come join us for a weekend of de Mello spirituality at the beautiful New Jersey shore.
For Tony de Mello spirituality means "waking up" to what's in front of you.
Through a series of talks, discussions, prayer and exercises,
you will find yourself more availabe to the joy of the present moment.

In the book, One Minute Wisdom, Tony writes:

"Don't look for God," the Master said. "Just look--and all will be revealed. "
"But how can one look?"

"Each time you look at anything, see only what is there and nothing else."

The disciples were bewildered, so the Master made it simpler:
"For instance: When you look at the moon, see the moon and nothing else."

"What else could you see except the moon when one looks at the moon?"

"A hungry person could see a ball of cheese. A lover, the face of his beloved."

Location: Stella Maris Retreat Center
981 Ocean Ave
Elberon, New Jersey 07740
