The Eminent Way: Fireside Chat
Mar 7 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Online w/ The Eminent Way

The Eminent Way: Fireside Chat

Join us for a magical journey of exploration and wonder. Each week we discuss a variety of topics that will not only inspire and inform but also transform and enlighten.

What we’re about

Welcome to The Eminent Way. We meet weekly to discuss all manner of things related to cultural, occult, religious, and esoteric subjects – as they pertain to one’s personal development journey.

Your life in the Universe is made possible by the fact of Creation itself. This planet we call home, this grand theater of expression, is the crucible in which the unseen becomes seen; the unmanifest is made plain; the unknown becomes known.

For seventy or more years, this is your home, in which each moment is extended to you the permission to be, to know, and to do.

You condensed from the unseen realms of force and power according to definite, inescapable laws that govern and make this theater possible. The very laws that created the Universe made you possible too. You are a microcosm of the whole – everything that exists outside of you also exists within, for, in reality, there is no difference; it is simply a matter of scale.

The ancients knew well that to study the Universe is to study oneself, and to study oneself is to explore the Universe. And yet, without exact knowledge of the fundamental laws of force, power, matter, and consciousness, one’s journey becomes a detour of idle speculation.

​And yet, there is a Way that originates outside of life but must be practiced within it; a Way that does not arise from the mind of man, yet directly involves it; a Way that helps one connect with the evolutionary signal of creation that informs human purpose.

This is The Eminent Way.

The Buncombe County Parks, Greenways, and Recreation Advisory Board has a vacancy for a resident from District 1. Meetings are currently held virtually at 6 p.m. on the third Monday of each month. The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on Fri., Mar. 12.

Buncombians are the guiding star for Buncombe County Recreation Services. They inform us of how they use parks and what projects we should prioritize. The Parks, Greenways, and Recreation Advisory Board is an extension of that transparency, ensuring a two-way conversation is always happening when it comes to improving equitable access to recreation and enhancing the quality of life in our community.

There is a great amount of diversity among those who use Buncombe County parks and recreation facilities; the ultimate goal is an advisory group that reflects this. The board’s mission statement is: “Advocating for cultural preservation and changing lives through equitable recreation opportunities in public spaces, greenways, and parks.”
