Benefits of Finding
a Spiritual Guide
Saturday, Oct. 29, 4:00-5:00pm
In choosing a physical trainer or selecting a competent surgeon what would you
be looking for? The need for expertise
and firsthand experience become critical
in the decision making process. Similarly
in choosing a spiritual guide we are looking for more than intellectual knowledge.
Michael Ribet will give you an opportunity to practice Jyoti Meditation.
Michael Ribet, MBA
Science of Spirituality Meditation Center
For our soul to directly experience God requires more
than outer worship. There is a part of us that wants to know
God…. When we have a spiritual awakening in which we
realize the need to find God, we begin to yearn to receive a
firsthand personal experience of the spark of the Divine.

In Urdu the word Khuda means, one
who comes on His own. God gives His
experience on His own. What we have
to do is to be an empty cup so that the
divine nectar can flow in freely.

Programa Especial - Domingo
Noviembre 6, 2:30pm
Charla publica: “Encontrando la
felicidad verdadera a través de
la meditación”
Public Talk: “Finding True Happiness
through Meditation”
Pensamos que la felicidad está por fuera
de nosotros. Pensamos que esta yace en
las riquezas, en el nombre y la fama, en
las posesiones y en las relaciones. Pero
la verdadera felicidad yace dentro de
nosotros mismos. En lugar de buscar
el verdadero tesoro fuera de nosotros,
debemos sentarnos en meditación para
descubrir la verdadera riqueza interna.
Entonces encontraremos que nuestras
vidas se llenan de amor, bienaventuranza, paz, y felicidad eternas.
Ofreceremos cuidado de niños, fácil
parqueo y bocadillos vegetarianos, todo
es completamente gratis.
