From Unity — which is the One back of all things, through the One Law, which is the Medium of all action — multiplicity is manifested, but the many never contradict the Unity of the whole.  When we realize that we are dealing with an Infinite Intelligence and with an Infinite Law within this Intelligence, we see that no limit should be placed upon the Creative Principle. ~ Ernest Holmes,  Science of Mind, p. 102

Just as we depend upon Source for our life, our wellbeing, our love, our wisdom, our peace, our plenty, and our power, so we realize that each individualized, human expression of that Life is innately interconnected with each and all of us.  Of course, we take responsibility for our own choices, our personal life designs, while delighting in our spiritual bond with all sentient beings.  We are related to one another through our shared spiritual source and can find comfort and inspiration from each other, as we touch into that divinity and allow it to bring us deeper awareness and greater freedom.

As we approach the Fourth of July weekend, we find the joys of interdependence in joining mind and heart with our loved ones and our Beloved Community in inviting Spirit to nurture and guide us, individually and together, in establishing greater freedom for all.  Our theme for the month of July is, “Free to Be,” and we understand that it is both our complete reliance of Source and our willingness to discover and connect with the Authentic Self within each other that opens us to a greater expression of life.  This Sunday’s focus will be on, “Interdependence Day,” and you are invited to experience this joyful unity and limitless possibility, as we awaken to our sweet unity and shared divinity.

What a wonderful Celebration we enjoyed last Sunday, as we gathered IN PERSON for the first time in fifteen months and welcomed each other “Home!” Thanks again to our “Re-Opening Team” for having created the perfect environment and experience for our joyful first Celebration back: Payson Burt, Edie and Rich Janik, Jeffrey Masino, Linda O’Neill, Cheryl Macklin and Linda Solomons. Watch for in-person classes and social events that will be returning soon.

 Our mental attitude toward the Divine Givingness should be simple and direct.  We are to accept the gift.  We are to look forward to it with anticipation and with enthusiastic attention.  We are to maintain an inner joy.  Ernest Holmes, Living the Science of Mind, p. 395

During the month of June, we have focused on “How Life Fulfills Itself,” recognizing that you and I are essential instruments through which Divine Mind creates and manifests.  Deepening our awareness of the Intelligent, Creative Power within us, and expanding our possibility consciousness, we are thrilled to design a greater vision for ourselves, our loved ones, our Beloved Center, and the world itself. We have happily entered into a new season, welcoming summer, and ready to move forward into a greater life experience.

Joining in consciousness with one another in a new vision for the Greater Philadelphia Center for Spiritual Living, we open to Spirit’s inspiration and gladly allow the Law to bring forth something greater than we have yet known.  It is not only for each member and friend of our Center that we develop this vision, but for our Beloved Community and the greater world itself, as we dedicate ourselves to “Awakening Humanity to Its Spiritual Magnificence.” This is how we fulfill our deep commitment to bring the principles we teach to all open-hearted and open-minded people.

Once this beautiful, new spiritual prototype has been designed in Mind, we remain happily open to its complete expression in the material world, grateful for the Bounty of the Universe manifesting in and through us.  As you and I set our individual intentions, so we enthusiastically join with one another to develop a newer, more expanded expression of our Community and how it is lifting the human consciousness to the level of spiritual awareness and activity. The Divine Bounty is continuously being given, and we graciously and gratefully accept the gift with delight.

The day has finally arrived for our coming together in person at our Beloved Center, and it will be this Sunday, June 27^th as we “swing wide the doors” and welcome each other “Home!”  Enormous thanks to our “Re-Opening Team” for having created the perfect environment and experience for our joyous Celebration. We are so grateful to: Payson Burt, Edie and Rich Janik, Jeffrey Masino, Linda O’Neill, Cheryl Macklin, and Linda Solomons. In-person classes and social events will also be returning, while we continue providing virtual offerings for those at a distance. Simply click on the “Watch Live” button on www.cslphilly.org  to join us on Sunday morning or to view previous Celebrations and “Love Notes” from Rev. Mike and me.

The mind must conceive before the Creative Energy can produce; we must supply the avenue through which It can work.  It is ready and willing.  It is Its nature to spring into being through our thought and action.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p 47

Celebrating Father’s Day not only honors the wonderful men in our lives who have supported and inspired us, it also involves appreciating the universal masculine energy that fills us all with creative potential.  Our conscious choices determine our experience, and the Assertive Principle of Being is active within each of us, as well as in Universal Mind. We truly are, “father to our experience,” and we are blessed to remember this.

Indeed, Life fulfills Itself by means of every sentient being, and we are always at choice in the Creative Process.  It is a true and marvelous concept that we are completely free to co-create our world, both personally and globally.  It is when we step up to the Power within and use It for great and growing good that we begin fulfilling our purpose: To live fully, centered in God, and bringing a bit more heaven to earth.

We also celebrate graduations this month, delighted that in-person ceremonies are once again being held, after these many months of restriction.  Each of us is continually graduating from one state of consciousness to the next, expanding in awareness and employing the wisdom which dwells within us all.  Let’s celebrate everything, especially our partnership with the Divine, as It delights in our creative activity.

Next week, Sunday, June 27^th we “swing wide the doors” to our beautiful facility, grateful to our “Re-Opening Team” for thoughtful preparations for our return to “Sweet 16.” A very special “welcome Home” awaits all who attend in person, while we continue live streaming for our friends at a distance and anyone preferring to watch from their homes. In-person classes and social events will also be returning, as we continue to provide virtual offerings.  Join us this Sunday, Father’s Day, at 10:30 A.M., as we discuss, “The Creative Process in You.”  Just click on the “Watch Live” button on www.cslphilly.org  You may also view previous Celebrations and “Love Notes” from Rev. Mike and me and check out our informative website.

Do call upon our Practitioners and Practitioner Interns to work with you in revealing the truth behind any human condition you may be experiencing. Each is listed on our website and will be happy to assist you in shifting consciousness and revealing more of your authentic Self.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Our consciousness of God is our real self and at the same time it is both personal and impersonal.  It is personal in that it is personified through us and it is impersonal in that we are all using a universal power. When we know that we are using such a power all doubt as to our ability to use it will vanish and our words will be spoken with spontaneous reliance on Truth.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 408

As we align more closely every day with Spirit, the dynamic force for intelligent, inspired creativity within us, we no longer attempt to rely upon our human ego to make anything happen.  It is through this surrender of the “me” to the “I Am” that all power is given to us on heaven and earth.  It is in the continual discovery of the Real Self within us and in every person that we unlock the potency of our Word, co-creating both personally and universally, as we manifest a greater vision of satisfying and successful experiences.

We are wise to engage the Greater Power and to allow It to work through us, as we simply “Court the Presence and Direct the Law,” setting our healthy intentions, and letting this Divine Energy do what we, of ourselves, are not equipped to do without It. Remembering our Source is the key to every flourishing idea showing up in our world.

We are all looking forward to gathering once again in person on Sunday, June 27^th and our enthusiastic “Re-Opening Team” continues preparing for our return to our lovely Center at 16 Industrial Blvd. in Paoli. Expect a very special “welcome Home” to all who attend in person, while we continue live streaming for our friends at a distance and anyone preferring to watch from their homes.  We are all about options!  In-person classes and social events will also be returning, as we continue to provide virtual offerings.  Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M., as we discuss, “Implementing the Power for Good.”  Just click on the “Watch Live” button on www.cslphilly.org  You may also view previous Celebrations and “Love Notes” from Rev. Mike and me and check out our informative website.

We are so grateful for our skilled and compassionate Practitioners and Practitioner Interns who support our Center and its members and friends with spiritual mind treatment.  You may contact any of them via our website.

With great love and respect,

Each person is a center of self-conscious life; God is the Life Principle animating us.   ~ Ernest Holmes, Can We Talk to God, p. 24

As we enter into the lovely month of June, we may find a lighter energy inspiring thoughts of expanded movement into the summer season.  Visioning and planning joyous activities for ourselves and others, we do well to remember that we re-enact the creative nature of the Divine.  It is a wonderful thing to realize that each of us is empowered by the One Power, guided by an Infinite Intelligence, as we freely and successfully invite and allow this Life to live uniquely and dynamically through us.

When we know how essential we are to the Creative Process, individualized in each of us and fulfilling Itself by means of us, we feel more alive, confident, and capable of living from the highest consciousness and expressing the fullness of Life.  You and I are the instruments through which new, dynamic visions and versions of health, wealth, love, and creativity are revealed.  As we step into our divine authority, accepting responsibility for co-creating a wonderful life for ourselves and others. we become empowered to make clear, conscious choices.

God is the enlivening Presence within us that delights in expressing through us, as we move from any erroneous idea of separation from Source to the reality of our oneness with the Infinite Power and Possibility that is our divine heritage.  Let’s use the Power for Good for greater and greater good, deeper connection to the Divine, and continued creative expression.

Our resourceful and dedicated “Re-Opening Team” continues to prepare for our first Sunday back in our physical spiritual Home.  We are happily returning to 16 Industrial Boulevard on Sunday, June 27^th and plan a very special “welcome Home” to those in the area.  We will also continue live streaming for our friends at a distance and anyone preferring to watch from their homes.  In-person classes and social events will also be returning, as we continue to provide virtual offerings.  Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M. Our new theme for June is, “How Life Fulfills Itself,” and we will be remembering how,  “You Are a Center of Intelligent Activity”  Just click on the “Watch Live” button on www.cslphilly.org  You may also view previous Celebrations and Living Room talks from Rev.
