The spiral of life is upward. Evolution carries us forward, not backward. Eternal and progressive expansion is its law and there are no breaks in its continuity. It seems to me that our evolution is the result of an unfolding consciousness of that which already is, and needs but to be realized to become a fact of everyday life. Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 387
Indeed, we live in a Limitless Universe, offering Its Grace and Bountiful Expansion to all Its beloved creation. Each of us is a divine entity in the One Life, growing step-by-step into a greater realization of our true identity, always moving forward and upward into a greater expression of that Life. As we honor our own, individual path, time table, and mode of understanding and awakening, so we respect each person’s appropriate and timely development.
There is no reason to approach our progression with anything but confidence and joy, as each phase provides an open invitation for us to embrace more faith and appreciation for our ever-expanding consciousness. As we read in scripture, “You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.” Psalm 82:6 It is time for us to claim and live from our Authentic Self, respecting each moment’s unfoldment with grace and gratitude.
If you wish to begin your Sunday experience with quiet meditation prior to our Celebration, join our Practitioner of the Day upstairs in the Prayer Room at 10:00, enjoy connecting time downstairs with your friends before we begin at 10:30. We are so enjoying being together again, as we follow CDC recommendations and use color-coded name tags to communicate people’s choices for the degree of personal connection or social distancing desired. Of course, we will keep you advised of updates, and it has been suggested that people wear masks at indoor gatherings We are not yet singing or providing refreshments, but it is a joy to be together after all these months. Of course, we continue reaching people around the world with our live streaming, as well. This Sunday’s talk title will be, “Gracefully Growing in Consciousness.” To join us on line, simply go to www.cslphilly.org at 10:30 A.M. EDT and click on the orange “watch now” button. Previous Sunday Celebrations and Rev. Mike’s and my “Love Notes” are archived there, as well.
