Are YOU Ready and Willing to go further along your SPIRITUAL JOURNEY, without forcing yourself to FIND TIME TO READ ABOUT IT? ''A Course in Miracles (ACIM)" is The Channelled Works of Jesus / Isa / Yoshua (SAME HUMAN BEING - Named Differently By Different religions) from 1965 - 1972. It Supplements and can go beyond anything The Bible, The Koran and The Torah has taught you. Find Out if you are ready to experience TRUE Spiritual Growth Beyond Religious Teachings (THE ACTUAL PROMISED: SECOND COMING) that have been Edited, Re-Translated across One or More languages or Added to for The Suppression of Women. It Upholds the prophecies from those three mentioned holy books, but explains Truth more easily than they are able to for the ordinary 21st Century human being. We don't need to know esoteric teachings handed down by Mystical Schools, to RETURN HOME TO SOURCE ENERGY. You have free will to decide when you will commence your Journey HOME from Earth. We can Listen to Recordings of the above mentioned works. Alternatively, I also have DVD or CD recordings from Joseph Campbell, Deepak Chopra, Mother Theresa, Stuart Wilde, David Hawkins, Esther Hicks, Dennis Waitley, Gregg Braden, Wayne Dyer and Others. Topics that can be covered include: How "A Course in Miracles" came to be, Near Death Experiences, The Second Coming, The Evolution of Mankind's Spiritual Understanding, The Human Ego, Buddhism, The Christian Teachings EDITED FROM The Bible, Taoism, Ayurveda, Zen, Chi, The Bhagavad - Gita and Guided Meditations. This meet up is stated to last 3 hours, but as some can be too busy for that length of time, you are welcome to leave early, without it being a problem to me. NOTE: LEARNING SPIRITUAL TRUTH can be strange and stir up The Human Ego/ The Fake Will for some on this planet, but without putting in the time to do so, our Spiritual Growth is HINDERED GREATLY!!! SOURCE ENERGY IS ETERNAL AND IS ALWAYS UNCONDITIONALLY LOVING. There has never been and there can never be The Wrath of God or a Final Judgement Day where The Creator, God, Allah, Yhvh or The Man-like Figure with The Long White Beard surrounded by Angels, who support Him as He deals out what The Ego believes humans deserve. WE ARE ETERNAL SOULS CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER'S SOUL AND SOURCE ENERGY FOREVER. WE APPEAR TO BE LIVING IN MORTAL BODIES ON PLANET EARTH AT THE EFFECT OF THE HUMAN EGO, BUT IS THAT COMPLETELY TRUE?

🐳 Join us for the next Melbourne Docker User Group on April 14th at Microsoft. Container technology is now used by 92% of technology workers. However, there is always more to learn. We have three great talks to share. First, **Kirtika Sharma** ([LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirtikasharma05/)) will teach **Docker 101**. She is a Junior Technical Engineer at Orikan. This talk is perfect for students and beginners. Often, a program works on one computer but fails on another. Kirtika will explain how Docker fixes this problem. She will use simple words and show a live demo of Docker running software instantly. Second, **Sumith Azhi Valappil (**[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sumith-cloudsecurityconsulting/)**)** will talk about security. He has 18 years of IT experience. Research shows that many younger workers feel confident but lack specific security skills. Sumith will show you how to scan your code to find problems early. He will also show how to catch active attacks inside your systems. Third, **Sree Ram Boyapati (**[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sreeram-dev/)**)** will talk about self-fixing programs. He is a Senior Software Engineer at Suncorp. Sree will show how to use Docker to test large systems on your own computer. Docker is the best tool for building and testing software locally. Using Docker locally means you do not have to pay for expensive cloud servers. First-time speakers are always welcome. We want you to share your story. You do not need to be an expert. * Beginners: Share a simple project or something you just learned. * Pros: Show us complex systems or security tips.

This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team. **YouTube Link** TBD
