What we now experience we may cease experiencing if we have the will and the imagination to set our vision in an opposite direction and hold it there. ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 418

We know that our perspective determines our consciousness of “heaven” or “hell” here on earth, and that most of us have dwelt in both “places.” The great news is that it is always possible, although not necessarily easy, to make a different choice. We live fully in peace and freedom when we do not permit ourselves to become dragged down into personal challenges or world situations. This is not to say these do not exist, but the truth is that such external conditions have no power of their own and are as fleeting as we allow them to be.

Granted, there are grave concerns on the planet at this time, and it can “feel like hell” if we allow our attention to become excessively focused on the relative world. A major shift in our intention to reveal a greater truth truly can begin bringing heaven to earth. I love Rickie Byars’ song, “I’m Choosing Heaven Today” and suggest we all make that wise and wonderful choice.

Each Sunday morning at 10:30 A.M., you may participate in our Morning Celebrations livestreamed from the Inspiration Café in Paoli, Pennsylvania, selecting either Facebook or YouTube to watch and listen. The theme for the month of August is, “Loving the World to Wholeness,” and this week’s topic will be, “Heaven Here and Now.” Simply go to our website, www.cslphilly.org and click on the orange “Watch Live” button. Also check the Events Page, the Practitioner Page, and look for archived Sunday Celebrations and Love Notes.

You may reach out for spiritual support any time by accessing our Practitioners information on the website and choosing to work with any one of them. They use spiritual tools to help you move through any human problem. No matter the question, God is always the answer!

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
