Meeting together with others to meditate, to share, and to grow spiritually can be an important part of your awakening. You are living in a time of enormous change and transformation. Humanity is awakening rapidly. Group work is the keynote of the New millennium.
You do not need to be a master of the principles contained in the book to teach or facilitate group meetings. You do need to be committed to exploring and implementing the processes presented in your daily life. Invite people who are responsive to your light and who want to be a part of the group you are forming to be a part of your classes.
Create a vision of the higher purpose of your group gathering. In addition to studying the book and its principles, you might want to be more specific about your higher purposes for gathering together. Write out your vision. Look at and energize this vision.
Decide on a class or study group format. Determine the number of weeks you will meet, how long each meeting will be, and when you will meet. You may want to go through the chapters of this book and determine the key points you want to study.
Please teach the material by following what is presented as closely as possible; do not change the information used in the book. We ask that you not teach other people's processes during your Orin classes to keep the energy as pure as possible, allowing people to have a better and clearer experience Orin's energy and teachings.
Once you have decided on the higher purpose of your classes and know the format and what you will be studying, follow your inner guidance about what outer action to take to attract this group. You may be drawn to posting notices at a local bookstore, or suggesting to friends that you meet to study this book. Trust that when the timing is right a class will come together.
We would like you to have the freedom to develop your own class format, so we are not setting any guidelines for a class structure. However, we do have some suggestions that can greatly enhance your group connections. You may follow these suggestions based on your wisdom of the appropriateness of these steps for the group you have attracted.
We suggest that you start your classes by asking group members to make an inner connection with their soul, Divine Self, and guides. You can also make a connection with Orin and DaBen, and all the Beings of Light, asking for a transmission of energy.
It is usually best to start with a meditation, either led by you or someone else in the group, or by playing one of Orin's guided meditations. Some people design one class around each of Orin's guided meditation, play the meditation, and discuss their experiences afterward. You can use the Playsheets and discuss your answers as a part of the group.
It is often best to save talking and sharing for after a meditation, for then your personality interactions will reflect more of the higher connection you have just made.
You may want to ask people to read a certain portion of the book before coming to class, or read the book out loud during group meetings. Include time at the end of each class to radiate light to humanity and to various groups you have chosen as an important way to distribute all the energy you have gathered.
As a group leader or facilitator, be as inclusive, tolerant, noncritical, and loving as you can be. Connect with the souls and higher selves of everyone in the group, and let your personality connection evolve from this inner linkage. Be the best leader you can imagine. Honor your commitments to those who come to your class, such as preparing, starting and ending on time, and holding classes when you say you will. Ask those who come to commit to doing the same.
As a group leader, you may find people asking you questions and expecting you to have answers. Instead of providing answers and solutions, encourage group members to receive answers for themselves. Rather than giving advice, you can empower others by asking them to get quiet, go within, and ask their Divine Self for guidance. Ask your students, "What do you think you should do in the situation you find yourself in?"
We send you our love. Orin and the beings of light will join you as you link with others to become points of light and love through which they can pour their love. At the moment you decide to gather a group, energy will be sent to you to assist you. All you need do is ask, and open to receive.
Remember that your students are also your teachers. We welcome you as a fellow traveler on the spiritual path and look forward to our continued connection with you.
