We must consciously know that we can use creative power. The more completely such acceptance on our part, the more completely we shall be able to use this power for definite purposes.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 401

We understand that, although the Power of the Presence is everywhere, within everything and everyone, there tends to be a greater opening for this Divine Power to work through a gathering of people with open hearts and a common purpose. Ours is such a community, and, as we come together next Sunday for an in-person morning Celebration and the Annual Community Meeting following, it will be a beautiful opportunity for us to open minds and hearts to let Spirit flow through us, guiding and motivating us toward an inspired future.

The theme for the month of October will be, “The Beloved Community,” and we are that, despite not having had too many physical meetings together the past many months. How grateful we are for the gifts of the past, the power in the moment, and the possibilities for our future. We will have the joy of heartfelt, creative discussions on October 2 that will co-create an inspired vision and specific purposes for the next steps for us.

Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M., as we meet in person AND livestream our Celebration from the Smethers’ production facility at 2583 Industry Lane, Eagleville, PA 19403. We do ask that you let us know if you will be joining us in person or virtually – just click here.  If you cannot attend in person, please go to our website, www.cslphilly.org and click on the orange “Watch Live” button. My talk this Sunday will be, “The Power of Working Together.”

We are free souls, free spirits, and because this is true, our thought has creative power, and since it has this power, we must carefully choose what we are to think, for everything moves in circles.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 434

We may have wondered at times why a previous personal challenge reappears after believing we had effectively dealt with it.  When we realize that what may seem to be a circular event is actually a spiraling experience, we begin to understand that we did, indeed, made progress earlier and that now we have a beautiful opportunity to complete the process. As we have addressed the essential components of our Purpose Statement this month, “Living, Loving, Learning: Spirituality That Works,” we have become aware of the universal activity of increase, including the very consciousness with which we learn to live and love more consciously and creatively.

Always at choice to redirect the direction of our attention, we live more powerful, successful, beautiful lives, thinking and feeling with wisdom and compassion.  The Law of Increase applies to us personally, as well as universally, as humankind progresses along its path of awakening. Let’s experience the freedom of choice we have to continue expanding in consciousness, as we review and reflect on how far we have come and set our intentions on how we choose to continue on our spiritual journeys, individually and together.

Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M., as we live stream our Morning Celebration from the Inspiration Café, viewed on our website, www.cslphilly.org by clicking on the Watch Live button. Completing our theme for the month of September, this week’s talk will be, “Circles,” reminding us of the ever-upward spiral of personal and universal spiritual growth.

Welcome to GPCSL’s September BoT SPOT!

With love and deep appreciation,

Edie Janik

In an intelligent study of the teachings of the Science of Mind, we come to understand that all is Love and yet all is Law. Love rules through Law. Love is the Divine Givingness; Law is the Way. Love is spontaneous; Law is impersonal.   ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p.43

This week’s focus is on the “Learning” part of our Purpose Statement: “Living, Loving, Learning: Spirituality That Works!” Let’s discover the fundamental, Universal Laws, align with them, and use them to enhance our lives and the lives of others. Learning the dependability of the Law of Sowing Reaping, we begin using the Power for Good in the way it is divinely intended: for GOOD! Understanding our unity with the Presence and our access to the Power, we recognize our ability to co-create a wonderful world, beginning with our own sphere of influence.

Tonight, we begin a deep and delightful ten-week accredited class, “The Essential Ernest Holmes,” on Zoom from 6:30 to 9:00 P.M.  Beau Smith, R.Sc.P. and I will be co-teaching this informative, inspirational, and lively class for those who have registered on our Events Page. The more we are willing to gain knowledge of our teaching, the deeper the wisdom we are able to experience and employ for successful living. Even if you are not enrolled in the class, it could benefit you to purchase and study this great book.

Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M., as we gather at Wilson Farm Park for our Morning Celebration. It will not be live-streamed this week but will be recorded and available for viewing on our website, www.cslphilly.org later in the afternoon. We are excited to be together in person and plan to enjoy a social hour with refreshments afterward. Continuing our theme for the month of September, this week’s talk will be, “From Knowledge to Wisdom,” celebrating the joy we find in studying the Principles of the Science of Mind.  If you are able to join us, simply click here and let us know.

My Love goes out to everyone in the world; I do not exclude anything, for I love all Nature and everything that is.  My Love warms and lightens everything that it touches, and it goes out into all places. The Love flowing through me is a Power to all who come into contact with it, and all feel and know that I love.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 547

Since our Community’s Purpose Statement is: “Living, Loving, Learning,” we are dedicating the month of September to taking a deep dive into each of these intentions, “Loving” being our focus this week.  This is, of course, far more than sentimentality, for Divine Love is the Life Force of the Universe, and, as each of us become a well-tuned instrument for Its flow to others, we elevate life on the planet.

The statement, “Love one another” was never more necessary to honor than the present time, for divisiveness cannot stand up to the sweet unification that comes when we wrap one another in the mantle of Love.  True compassion does not seek anything but understanding, respect, and appreciation.  This, of course, begins with each of us, as we honor the divinity within our own humanity and love ourselves enough to become passionate about carrying the Fire of God’s Love wherever we go.

As we lift each other in Love, we establish a greater sense of Peace and an environment of Unity.  We can do this together, so let’s begin today.

Thank you for joining us on Sunday mornings at 10:30 A.M., as we live stream our Morning Celebration from the Inspiration Café in Paoli, Pennsylvania. As you go to our website, www.cslphilly.org just select either Facebook or YouTube to watch and listen. Continuing our theme for the month of September, this week’s talk will be, “A Passion for Compassion,” as we explore the possibilities of bringing Divine Love into our huma experience.  Click on the orange “Watch Live button, and later check the Events Page, the Practitioner Page, and look for archived Sunday Celebrations and Love Notes.

Whenever you may find yourself experiencing a challenge to which you feel too close, simply check out our Licensed Practitioners on the Practitioner Page of our website, and contact any of them to request an appointment, either in person, online, or on the telephone.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
