In Thought, Word and Deed
TAT Virtual Spiritual Retreat Day
February 6, 2021
What does it mean for a seeker to be honest in what they think, say and do?
TAT Founder Richard Rose talked about becoming the Truth. Gandhi is oft-quoted as saying happiness is when what you think, say, and do are in harmony. In Miguel Ruiz’s 4 Agreements we find “Be impeccable with your word.” Many others have highlighted the importance of integrity and alignment of our internal and external worlds. Why is it that this can seem so hard to do? Why do we often think one thing, but then say and do another? What does this have to do with becoming the Truth?
Join us in a one-day retreat as we explore these questions with presenters and each other. We will start with a panel of teachers to introduce the basic ideas and why they are so important to the seeker and to anyone who wants a well-examined life. We’ll also have two short presentations from seekers who show how these ideas had a powerful effect on their lives. But the heart of the day will be three small group sessions where we move from the concepts to life experiences.

Norio Kushi
"The cosmic joke is that who we think we are, our belief in the self, is the only thing that prevents us from experiencing complete fulfillment right now!" When not crisscrossing America in his tractor trailer, Norio makes an occasional stop to deliver some words of wisdom. Read his awakening story in “Awake at the Wheel: Norio Kushi’s Highway Adventures and the Unmasking of the Phantom Self”.

What is the TAT Foundation?
A group encouraging people to think rather than believe. A group determined to help people find ways and means to answer their deepest philosophical questions. A gathering of friends who are not afraid to be honest with one another. An island of hope and sanity (or at least the hope for sanity!). Last, but not least, TAT is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational organization chartered in 1973.
