As Ernest Holmes brilliantly explained, “Freedom, like Truth, is self-existent and self-propelling.” This is great news, especially when we find ourselves indulging in false beliefs about external influences creating limitation or bondage.  Freedom truly is an inside job, and it is always available to us, no matter the circumstances. Rather than feeling stuck in a situation from which we wish to be released or thwarted in a plan we desire to implement, the sweet and simple act of getting in touch with that Eternal Presence of Freedom is the solution.

Of course, it all begins in our own consciousness, and that is the arena in which we have sovereignty, as we use the Power within us to liberate us from incorrect thoughts or restrictive emotions.  No matter a person’s past, it is entirely possible to experience the joy of freedom in the present moment through inviting Spirit to celebrate Itself by means of us.  There are no exceptions.

You will want to be sure to be with us at this Sunday’s in-person gathering at Inteprod in Eagleville, as it will be a very special day for everyone. We love the delight and excitement of receiving new members and celebrating their welcome addition to our Community’s Family, as we conclude this month’s focus on, “Freedom.” Our wonderful friend and musician, Jim Wade, will provide his uplifting and inspirational music, and our Tallahassee, Florida Practitioner, Beau Smith, will be IN PERSON to provide the opening treatment. I will speak on, “Free From or Free To?” If you cannot be with us personally, please go to our website, www.cslphilly.org and click on orange  “Watch Now,” button in order to participate in our “Love Stream.”

As you browse our website and discover many interesting events, you will also find on the Practitioner Page spiritual support for any human condition.  Choose any one of our caring, compassionate, well-trained Healing Ministry Team members to raise your consciousness to a higher vibration!

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine 

Setting intentions is a wise and necessary practice, as we know how perfectly the Law of Mind responds to our mental equivalents; still, it can be wonderful to trust so completely in the Universal Divine Givingness that we also allow ourselves the freedom of remaining open to unexpected delights along the way! The more we engage in our spiritual practices of meditation, affirmation, and spiritual mind treatment (affirmative prayer), the more deeply we are able to feel our connection to Source, our trust in the Law, and our confidence in the Word.

As our consciousness of faith deepens and expands with each beautiful manifestation of Good in our lives, we tend to relax into an expectation of happy surprises, anticipating pleasures and treasures in abundant supply. Keeping the mind set on the positive good and refraining from gloomy thoughts and negative feelings, assures us of living a life of joy and freedom.

Our Beloved Center also benefits from our conscious, caring, creative use of the Law, and we are manifesting the powerful idea of expansion in two weeks, as we receive new members into our Community on Sunday, July 30^th.  It will be a very special day, as our Florida Practitioner, Beau Smith, will be with us in person for the first time, and Jim Wade will supply the musical inspiration for the day. Be sure to be with us for this grand celebration.

This Sunday, Rev. Mike will be speaking from the Inspiration Café  on, “Let Life Take You By Surprise,” as we continue this month’s focus on, “Freedom.” Just go to our website, www.cslphilly.org and click on orange “Watch Now,” in order to participate in our “Love Stream.” Scrolling through the site is a wonderful way to learn of our many wonderful summer events. Tonight is the first of five weeks of an outstanding Zoom class presented by Beau Smith, on Edwene Gaines’ powerful book, “Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity.” Sign up right away to register for this love offering class.

Every talk you hear and each class you take allows the development of the spiritual tools we offer in Science of Mind, and it is thrilling to learn to use the Law of Mind to bring about what we pray about.  Still, there are times we are wise to reach out to a Professional Practitioner to guide us through a challenge or help us fulfill a heart’s desire. Simply go to our Practitioner Page to be directed to one of our conscious, caring Practitioners with whom you may work to clear up your consciousness and uplift your life experience.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

While Rev. Mike and I have been enjoying our sauntering through the beautiful Canadian Rockies, our wonderful leadership teams have continued caring well for all in our Beloved Community.  We are so grateful for everyone’s love, enthusiasm, and dedication. It feels wonderful to know that our Center is always in the hands of caring and capable people.  It has also been delightful to stroll or meander, rather than hike through these amazing mountains, as John Muir suggested.  He preferred the word, saunter, as it is derived from the French word describing pilgrimages in the Middle Ages, saunter derived from the word for saint.

Thanks to our wonderful friend and guest speaker, Dr. Hazel Spears, for inspiring everyone last Sunday, while I was sharing with the good folks at the Calgary Center for Spiritual Living. This Sunday, Rev. Mike will be speaking from the Inspiration Café on, “Stretching Into a New Idea,” as we continue this month’s focus on, “Freedom.” Just go to our website, www.cslphilly.org and click on the orange “Watch Live”  button in order participate virtually. Be sure to scroll through the site to learn of our many wonderful summer events.

Let’s continue sauntering through our lives, remaining keenly aware of the beauty all around us, and treasuring each moment.  We are free to choose the direction we take each morning, and we may choose again at any time of the day.  Life is a beautiful thing to cherish and to live with full hearts and inspired minds.

Although we learn to use the wonderful spiritual tools Science of Mind provides, like spiritual mind treatment (affirmative prayer), there are times when we do well to turn to a professional Practitioner for help with a particular human challenge. You will find several caring and competent people in our “God Squad” on our Practitioner Page and are invited to choose one with whom you may wish to work.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine 

Today, we celebrate the 247^th anniversary of the Independence of our country, enjoying parades, picnics, and fireworks to delight in our freedom from British rule. Here, in Pennsylvania, there is great history of this time, including battlefields and commemorative plaques.  Isn’t it interesting how our two countries have long since been friends and allies and how we still tend to maintain keen interest in the royal family! It is a bit like young people struggling to establish their own identities, resisting their parents’ “rule,” and finding (hopefully, healthy) ways to break away. Eventually, everyone reaches out to their loved ones and creates a more stable and adult relationship with one another.

While we all need to establish our independence from external influences, we are wise to open our hearts to a conscious and creative interdependence with Life Itself, as well as with the dear ones who matter to us. As we mature mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, we develop a greater perspective, willing to create healthy connections with those with whom we might have experienced restrictive relationships. Even when our country’s independence was declared, many people remained unfree for many years, including women and enslaved people. Slowly, we began to honor one another in an interdependent association. Let’s move forward together in Grace.

Our special guest speaker this Sunday will be Dr. Hazel Spears, and she will be coming to you live from the Inspiration Café in Paoli. Her inspiring talk will be called, “Freedom, as Nothing Left to Lose . . . Revisited,“ and you can count on receiving brilliant insights and revelations from our dear friend from the Center of Peace. A few seats will be available at the Café and must be reserved in advance. To register, just click here – or – go to our website, www.cslphilly.org and register at the July 9th “In-Person Sunday Celebration,” or watch virtually by pressing the orange  “Watch Live” button. Be sure to scroll through the site to learn of the many wonderful summer events planned.

On our Practitioner Page, you will find several well trained, compassionate, and dedicated people who are ready to work with you to clear out unwanted belief patterns, elevate your consciousness, and help you bring beautiful demonstrations into your life. Just choose with whom you choose to work and set up an appointment, either in person or by telephone.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
