“We move toward a kind of divine presence because, through our passions, we are utterly present.  We are utterly charged and focused.  We are oblivious, we forget ourselves, our troubles, our day-to-day living-on-Mulberry-Street lives.  We hitch ourselves to something bigger.”  ~ Gregg Levoy, Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life

Just as all of humankind continues its evolutionary journey, so we advance on our personal journeys at our own time and in our own way to greater and greater awareness of Spiritual Life and Its expression in our experience.  We find that the most powerful choice we can make in this process is to take each step with passion, enthusiasm, confidence, and joy.  It is as we bring such consciousness to the adventure that we not only succeed, but that we do so with growing happiness and delight.

Awakening from the false dream of separation and limitation, we enter more fully into the Reality of Infinite Possibilities.   Inspired from the Sacred Spirit within, and armed with Its Power, we wisely move forward with eagerness and clarity.  It is in the Oneness that we move into the spiritual passion which impels us forward. Honoring each individual path, including our own, we do not compare or contrast, simply experience gratitude for the perfect unfoldment of each one’s progress.

Emerson’s found his aunt’s admonition to, “Hitch your wagon to a star” an inspiring message that he shared generously in the 19^th century.  It is still true and wise today, as we move forward with grace and power, celebrating the Spirit of Joy that impels us into greatness.  He also wrote, “Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”  Let’s enjoy the journey and encourage each other on the way.

The greatest lesson we have to learn is the unity of Love and Law; the necessity of law in shaping a divine individuality and the necessity of experience in awakening to this divine individuality. God is Love and God is Law; the Love of God is omnipresent and the Law of God is omnipresent.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 460

Understanding that Infinite Love is the Divine Givingness of God and that each of us is an instrument through which this Presence must express, we can celebrate our place in the Divine Mind and Heart. Entering into the perfect flow of Life, we both give and receive, becoming especially effective as we keep our mental, emotional, and physical instruments clear and open to the nurture and guidance of Spirit.

Loving God, loving self, loving others, and loving the world, we cannot help but shine a necessary and brilliant light to add to the One Light we all share.  The essence of Love becomes the activity of Love, when we expand the notion of It beyond human sentimentality and romance.  It truly is a great power and, in fact, the only power that is able to see through temporary conditions to the Eternal Reality behind them all. With its activation, we can perceive everyone’s Divinity beyond any human behavior and become a positive influence for Good in our lives and in the world.  Let’s choose to connect with all sentient beings in the very Heart of God and use the Power for Good . . . for Good!

Our Sunday morning Celebrations begin at 10:30 A.M. each week, live streamed and available through our website: www.cslphilly.org and may be viewed any time during the week. Last Sunday, Rev. Mike and your small-but-powerful Production Team drove  through a seriously beautiful snowstorm to arrive safely at the Center, in order to bring you the Celebration and returned home securely, as well. The Love Notes that Rev. Mike and I send from our living room are also available on the website.  Centers for Spiritual Living theme for 2021 is, “Timeless Wisdom; Evolution Vision,” February’s theme is, “One Journey; Many Paths,” and next Sunday’s talk title is, “One Mind; One Heart.” Invite your friends to join in, as we celebrate a larger version of Valentine’s Day!

Spirit being All and Only, there is nothing for It to change into but Itself.  Therefore, It is the Changeless, within which must take place all change or manifestation of Itself.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 66

Understanding that we are all co-creators with the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe, we are grateful to remember that, while forms come and go, Spirit is the Changeless Reality within all external manifestations of Life. Everyone of us is moving along a path of spiritual evolution, each at the right and proper pace, and we continue learning the highest and best ways to utilize this Creative Process for ourselves, others, and the world itself.

The more we endeavor to learn about the avenues along which others may be traveling, the deeper our understanding and appreciation grows, and the easier it becomes to perceive our Oneness. We may traverse multiple paths; yet, the Changeless Reality of Infinite Wisdom guides and directs each of us to an ever-greater Good.

Let’s keep our perspective attuned to the Foundation of Life, which is the Divine Love and Infinite Wisdom that indwells, sustains, and motivates all sentient beings. There is only God, appearing so many beautiful forms!
