‘WHEN YOU’RE AS GREAT AS I AM, IT’S HARD TO BE HUMBLE!’ THE INTENT OF HUMILITY
A revised précis of a sermon delivered at the Liberal Catholic Church of Saint Francis, Gordon, New South Wales, Australia, on the Fifth Sunday in Lent, or Passion Sunday, on 29 March 2009 - Copyright Ian Ellis-Jones 2009 - All Rights Reserved.
THE ART AND SPIRITUAL PRACTICE OF HAIKU
1) The document discusses haiku, a form of Japanese poetry and spiritual practice. It describes haiku as capturing extraordinary moments in ordinary life through brevity, directness, and immediacy.
2) Haiku typically uses 17 syllables in 3 lines (with phrases of 5, 7, and 5 syllables) and juxtaposes two images or ideas separated by a cutting word. It aims to describe the present moment without subjective analysis.
3) Writing haiku cultivates mindfulness by sharpening awareness of life's unfolding moments. It seeks to merge the poet and subject to reveal hidden meanings in everyday objects and occurrences.
DOIN' WHAT COMES NATUR'LLY: TOWARD A HUMANIST THEORY OF ETHICS
This document discusses and critiques several common theories of ethics, arguing that they are flawed. It then proposes a positive Humanist theory of ethics. The key points are:
1. Theories based on religion, majority approval, feelings, consequences, or commands are problematic for reasons like circularity, subjectivity, and avoiding the real question of what is good.
2. A Humanist theory is proposed - something is good or right if it is objectively good or right. While this may seem circular, the document argues it is not and experience allows humans to know good directly.
3. In overcoming the flaws of other theories, this theory offers a positive, objective, realistic and non-pres

THE RELIGIOUS NATURALISM OF CONFUCIANISM
1) Confucianism is considered a religious belief system that is largely naturalistic and non-supernatural. It focuses on ethics and human relationships rather than supernatural beings or concepts.
2) Confucius saw himself as a social reformer rather than a religious leader, and his teachings centered around moral conduct and social harmony. He did not claim any divine inspiration.
3) Confucianism emphasizes virtues like benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and propriety. It teaches that through self-cultivation, one can achieve a state of perfected humanity and goodness.

Retreat Talks---Sydney Unitarian Chalice Circle, Retreat Held Friday through Sunday, 26-28 October 2012, Edmund Rice Retreat and Conference Centre, ‘Winbourne’, Mulgoa, NSW, Australia.
NEW THOUGHT IN AUSTRALIA
The document provides an overview of the New Thought movement in Australia. It discusses key figures who helped introduce and spread New Thought ideas in Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Dr James Porter Mills, Anna W Mills, Veni Cooper-Mathieson, Grace Aguilar, and Henry E Aguilar. These individuals established various New Thought organizations, published literature, and helped popularize concepts of mental and spiritual healing. The movement offered new religious and philosophical perspectives that were particularly embraced by women.

This document summarizes and discusses the short story "The Psychologist and the Magician" by Ernest Christopher Rodwick. It tells the story of a psychologist named Professor Herman von Scholtz who agrees to undergo an "ordeal" with a magician named Marbado in a Himalayan cave. The psychologist must walk through the cave regardless of what he sees, hears, feels or thinks. The story is an allegory about how the mind can be "hypnotized" by illusions and beliefs that have no real power or existence. It illustrates how we identify with mental projections and concepts of self that cause suffering but don't truly exist. By refusing to accept the illusions, the psychologist is able to walk through

A HUMANIST INTERPRETATION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER
The document provides a Humanist interpretation of The Lord's Prayer in 3 sentences or less for each line:
Our Father in heaven refers to the one spirit of life in all, making us all brothers and sisters.

A RATIONAL FAITH: HUMANISM, ENLIGHTENMENT IDEALS, AND UNITARIANISM
This document discusses the influence of Humanism and Enlightenment ideals on Unitarianism. It describes how Unitarianism evolved from a Christian denomination rejecting some key doctrines, to a "post-Christian metareligion" or non-religion infused with Humanist principles like reason and tolerance. Unitarianism is presented as a spiritual philosophy and way of life that brings together people of all backgrounds without dogma. The roots and spread of Unitarianism in Australia, Britain, and the United States are briefly outlined.
DR NORMAN VINCENT PEALE WAS NOT ANTI-CATHOLIC
Letter dated 4 January 1994 from Ian David Ellis-Jones of Turramurra NSW Australia to the Editor of TIME (Australia) Magazine, with Letter of Reply dated 2 February 1994 from Patrick Smith, Editorial Offices, Time Inc, New York, New York, USA. Letter from Ian David Ellis-Jones Copyright 1994 Ian Ellis-Jones. All Rights Reserved.
ABBOTT AND COSTELLO ON MINDFULNESS
The document is a humorous fictional dialogue between Bud Abbott and Lou Costello discussing Abbott's mindfulness class. Abbott claims the class taught him to have "no-mind" which he says is a state of wisdom and enlightenment. However, Costello is confused by the concept of having no mind but not being stupid. Their discussion becomes increasingly nonsensical as they try to explain how a mind can be both empty and full, gone but present, engaged but not engaged to anyone.
SOME GREEK PHILOSOPHERS AND MINDFULNESS
This document discusses some early Greek philosophers and their ideas that are relevant to mindfulness practice. It examines Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, noting ideas like rejecting supernatural explanations and focusing on observable phenomena. Key lessons for mindfulness are observing the present moment without judgment, seeing contradictions as part of a unified process, and maintaining attention on the breath to allow experiences to naturally arise and pass without fixation. The document suggests these ancient Greek philosophers provide philosophical underpinnings for modern secular mindfulness practice.
BIBLE VERSES FOR SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT AND HEALING
This document provides Bible verses and explanations to support the use of spiritual mind treatment and healing. It discusses:
- The power of thought and the mind's ability to create one's reality. Thoughts become things and positive thinking can lead to positive outcomes.
- Many Bible verses are presented that discuss seeking God/the kingdom within, the power of words and decrees, and healing coming from sending forth one's word.
- Spiritual mind treatment works by lifting one's consciousness through affirmative prayer and emotion-charged thinking to manifest desired outcomes. One's mind has the creative power of God and can shape one's experiences.
MEDITATION---LIFE IS OMNIPRESENT
The document discusses the omnipresence of life and how we are all part of that one life force. It encourages the reader to enter into silence and stillness to experience life as a sacred presence that is closer than our own breathing. It asserts that there is only one eternal life flowing through all of creation, including ourselves, and that we can never be separate from this life force.
PHINEAS P. QUIMBY: THE MODERN WORLD’S FIRST TRUE PSYCHOANALYST
Phineas P. Quimby was a 19th century American clockmaker and healer who is considered a pioneer in the fields of alternative healing, mental therapeutics, and psychosomatic medicine. He developed a method of insight-oriented psychotherapy combined with autosuggestion that treated illnesses by addressing the mind-body connection. Quimby's system paved the way for modern psychoanalysis and the understanding that functional illnesses can be caused or influenced by the mind. After recovering from tuberculosis through alternative methods like carriage rides, Quimby began practicing mesmerism and traveling around New England, treating patients and inspiring the development of the New Thought movement.
SHINTO FOR NON-JAPANESE
An Address Delivered at the Spirit of Life Unitarian Fellowship, Kirribilli, New South Wales, Australia, on Sunday, 2 June 2013. Copyright 2013 Ian Ellis-Jones. All Rights Reserved.
FAIRY TALES AND THEIR INNER MEANINGS
This document provides an analysis of the fairy tales Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp and Jack and the Beanstalk. It suggests that fairy tales contain inner symbolic meanings and lessons. For Aladdin, characters represent aspects of human consciousness, and acquiring the lamp represents achieving spiritual enlightenment. For Jack, climbing the beanstalk represents spiritual ascension, while stealing from the giant represents acquiring virtues. Both tales depict the soul's evolution toward perfection through overcoming challenges.
FILM NOIR
The document provides an overview of film noir, including its origins, key characteristics, and classification. It discusses how film noir emerged as a distinct style in American films of the 1940s, influenced by events like the Great Depression, WWII, and hardboiled crime fiction. It also notes the ongoing debate around whether film noir qualifies as a distinct genre or is more of a mood or tone. The document aims to introduce noir aficionados to the topic through various definitions, quotes, and classifications of film noir.
WHAT YOU THINK YOU BECOME: NEW THOUGHT, SELF-HELP AND POPULAR PSYCHOLOGY
This document provides an overview of New Thought, a religious philosophy that originated in the United States in the 19th century. It discusses how New Thought was influenced by ancient Greek philosophers like Plato and his theory of forms, as well as early Christian thinkers like Origen who emphasized the oneness of God and life. The document also examines how New Thought emerged as an alternative to Protestantism in the late 19th century, gaining popularity through its positive message about using mind power to achieve health, wealth, and happiness. New Thought is defined as affirming the unity of God and humanity and the perfection and immortality of the soul.

SHINTO---OR LIVING MINDFULLY WITH THE KAMI
Shinto is the indigenous spirituality of Japan that focuses on ritual observance and living in harmony with nature. Some key aspects of Shinto discussed in the document include:
1. Shinto emphasizes ritual and observance of traditions over beliefs, with the goal of connecting to and transforming oneself through religious practices.
2. Shinto acknowledges multiple spiritual beings called kami that can represent divine or sacred aspects of nature. While some kami are depicted in mythology, they are not necessarily believed to literally exist.
3. In Shinto, purity, gratitude, and respect for nature are important virtues. Rituals are meant to help people commune with the natural world and cultivate their inherent sacred qualities.
WALKING IN THE ETERNAL NOW
This document discusses the concept of living in the eternal now. It provides perspectives from various spiritual teachers and philosophers that discuss how the past and future do not truly exist, and that we only experience the present moment. It emphasizes that true meaning and purpose can only be found by fully engaging in each new present moment as it arises, rather than dwelling in past or future. Living mindfully in the eternal now provides refreshment, peace, and the opportunity for inner transformation from one moment to the next.
