The staff at Richard Rose Teachings and Rose Publications has published its last and twenty-third issue of its quarterly newsletter “The Observer’s Nook”. It is presented as a downloadable PDF for your convenience. We encourage you to forward the newsletter to friends who may be interested in what we are doing, or to anyone you think might be interested in receiving mailings from us. We would also like to hear from you, our readers. Just write to the editor, info@richardroseteachings.com. Thank you!
Volume 6, Number 1
“On Celibacy” by John Rose – This very pragmatic approach to an ancient practice is useful information for those who wish to develop the intuition and mental faculty for understanding and approaching the Ultimate Self.
“A Gimble in a Wabe #7, A Retrospect on Moments of the Now” by James Cornie – As editor of the“Nook,” I find this to be my favorite “Gimble.” Jim has a gift of storytelling – and because of his background in science, the story holds water. And yet each poem, prose and recounting of events is projected through the heart. His connection to Richard Rose brings home the fact that all systems have something in common, yet it is a matter of discernment as to how we bypass the extraneous information – separate the wheat from the chaff, if you will. In his latest Gimble, Jim takes us once again down the proverbial rabbit hole to uncover the kernel of truth in all things.
“Observing the Observer” by Andrew McMaster – Mac’s gift for laying it on the line in regards to the search for truth and retreating from error is especially evident in this article on the purpose of meditation.
Volume 6, Number 2
In this 22nd Edition of “The Observer’s Nook” we have chosen to do a retrospective of Richard Rose, which includes clips of unpublished audio lectures. Also in this issue, “Poetry Nook” along with a “Call for Papers” from our readers.
Volume 6, Number 3
The 23rd Edition of “The Observer’s Nook” is an outstanding example of the caliber of writers that contribute their time and experience to this newsletter. Richard Rose encouraged his students and all others who inquired about his teachings to leave no stone unturned when it came to the spiritual search. This is the path our writers have taken. Philip Winestone and James Cornie, without previous consulting, even managed to synchronize their articles, as did one of our readers who contributed a response to a question posed in the last newsletter — a good example of the “between-ness” that Richard Rose spoke of throughout his teachings. We hope you enjoy the newsletter!
