February 23 “Meditation”
Worried about Trump? About climate change? About poverty? About the Sixth Extinction? Maybe you can’t save humanity (or maybe you can), but you can certainly save yourself. How? By realizing that your Self is just a thought like any other thought that can be ignored with practice. This is called non-duality or advitya (अद्वित्यः) in Sanskrit. “In the concept of non-duality, ‘good’ and ‘bad’ are seen as illusory distinctions, meaning they are not separate realities but rather constructs of the mind, ultimately dissolving into a unified whole where everything is simply "what is," without inherent good or bad qualities; essentially, the idea is that good and bad are two sides of the same coin, and when you see beyond duality, you perceive the interconnectedness of everything without judgment.” Noel Zinn will show us how.
Adult Discussion Group will be meeting in person @ 9:45 AM in Thoreau’s Clark Cabin except on the third Sunday of each month when we will meet in the Sanctuary @ 11 AM.

Join us in-person for our weekly gathering.
During in-person worship service, Religious Education is offered for children 5 and over, and a nursery is available. You are invited to join us for hospitality after the service.

March 2 “The Story That Shapes Your Relationship With Nature”
Are we separate and superior to nature? This question has been a driving force behind humanity's industrialization and economic progress for centuries -- but it's brought us to the brink of an ecological crisis, says filmmaker Damon Gameau. In an impassioned 14-minute talk, that's sure to elicit a good ADG discussion, he calls for a new story that recognizes our interconnectedness with nature and moves towards a thriving, regenerative future. Perfect for National Wildlife Day and led by Doug Kohn.

March 23 “Consciousness is Fundamental: Space-Time is Doomed”
Some philosophers and scientists argue that consciousness is fundamental because it is a primary, subjective quality of existence (e.g. the taste of chocolate), meaning it cannot be explained by objective physical processes (without hopeful hand waving about emergent properties or an act of faith that science will dissolve the “hard problem”). Panpsychism proposes that consciousness exists within everything, from atoms to humans to galaxies, and the entire reality we experience is a manifestation of consciousness. Noel Zinn will lead the discussion.

March 30 “Private Equity Friend or Foe”
Private Equity owned companies in the U.S. employ over 20% of all working adults. You may think that they're our friends for providing so many jobs, but the reality is much more complex and darker and deeply destabilizing to our fragile democratic republic of the United States. They are shielded from providing financial transparency, corporate governance transparency, and all reporting requirements by the SEC. They have special tax breaks that other more mundane corporations don't have. They buy up the competition, driving out innovation, driving down wages, and reducing American competitiveness. They have long time horizons and can embrace technological risk better than publicly traded corporations and make wealthy individuals even wealthier. They are known for spectacular failures such as Toys R Us, Sears, Radio Shack, and TGI Fridays. They are known for their success in buying businesses and then, after steering them through a transition of rapid performance improvement, selling them for a heady profit. Friend or Foe? Our guest Speaker is John Veneruso.

March 30 “A Hindu Walks Into a UU Church”
Hinduism and Unitarianism met two hundred years ago when Ralph Waldo Emerson, a pillar of our religion, was introduced to a beloved scripture of the Hindus called the “Bhagwat Gita.”
Emerson’s writings reflect his regard for the Gita. He introduced the book to his protégé, Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau took to heart the Gita’s message of doing one’s duty and went on to write his famous essay on “Civil Disobedience.” This essay was one of the inspirations for Mahatma Gandhi’s non-violent campaign that freed India from British rule. Reverend Martin Luther King then brought Gandhi’s methods back to the USA in his struggle for civil rights. For two hundred years, the message of the Gita has bounced back and forth between the two countries as a peaceful means of attaining freedom. In this talk, Dr. Kalia traces the 5000-year history of Hinduism and reflects on how some of its precepts might be food for thought for modern-day Unitarian Universalists.

2nd Friday Discussion Group
2nd Friday Discussion Group will meet on February 14th at Becks Prime:
1822 SH-6 S, Sugar Land, TX 77478.
Near the Sugar Land Whole Foods.
Here’s the menu: https://www.becksprime.com/menu/menu.pdf
TOPIC: Whatever you’d like to discuss
If we’re all too numbed by current events to pick just one, we could go literary and discuss The Second Coming by William Butler Yates. Do review it here and maybe check the internet for assorted interpretations.
The Second Coming
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi*
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
*Spiritus Mundi, loosely, means “soul of the world."
Please join us as we Choose Our Own Adventure!

(Cancelled) Women's Book Club
This month’s selection is Like Mother, Like Mother by Susan Rieger
An enthralling novel about three generations of strong-willed women, unknowingly shaped by the secrets buried in their family’s past.
“What a delight! Like Mother, Like Mother is sharp, fun, and witty.”—Ann Napolitano, bestselling author of Hello Beautiful
“A sprawling family saga, briskly told with the lightest of touches and an often-surprising sense of humor.”—Rumaan Alam, bestselling author of Leave the World Behind
A VOGUE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
Detroit, 1960. Lila Pereira is two years old when her angry, abusive father has her mother committed to an asylum. Lila never sees her mother again. Three decades later, having mustered everything she has—brains, charm, talent, blond hair—Lila rises to the pinnacle of American media as the powerful, brilliant executive editor of The Washington Globe. Lila unapologetically prioritizes her career, leaving the rearing of her daughters to her generous husband, Joe. He doesn’t mind—until he does.
But Grace, their youngest daughter, feels abandoned. She wishes her mother would attend PTA meetings, not White House correspondents’ dinners. As she grows up, she cannot shake her resentment. She wants out from under Lila’s shadow, yet the more she resists, the more Lila seems to shape her life. Grace becomes a successful reporter, even publishing a bestselling book about her mother. In the process of writing it, she realizes how little she knows about her own family. Did Lila’s mother, Grace’s grandmother, die in that asylum? Is refusal to look back the only way to create a future? How can you ever be yourself, Grace wonders, if you don’t know where you came from?
Spanning generations, and populated by complex, unforgettable characters, Like Mother, Like Mother is an exhilarating, portrait of family, marriage, ambition, power, the stories we inherit, and the lies we tell to become the people we believe we’re meant to be.
Books are selected by the members of the Women’s Book Club
Reoccurring monthly on the First Monday, starting at 1:00 PM; we meet in members’ homes.
