“The essence of spiritual mind healing — and of all true religious philosophy – is an inner realization of the Presence of Perfection within and around about. It is the hope of heaven, the Voice of God proclaiming: “I am that which thou art; thou art that which I am.” Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 423
Now that we have established the omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient existence of the Divine within all, the next step is to align with that Mighty Presence and understand our complete union with It; in fact, each of us is a beautiful and unique manifestation of that One Life, as It is our very Essence. It is this spiritual identification for ourselves and others that empowers us to transform error to Truth, gives us strength in adversity, courage to wake to our divinity, and the ability to walk it out into the world.
It is not enough to say that “There is a Power in the Universe, greater than we are, and we can use It;” as we must deepen that awareness to realize that each of us IS an expression of that Mighty Presence, that it not only flows through us, but that it IS us, always. It is in this sacred awareness that we become effective instruments of Love and Wisdom, more than willing to lift each other from any sense of limitation to ultimate freedom. Celebrating this holiness within every sentient being, we instantly connect with one another from the deepest and most sacred place. It is from this space that real conversations may take place, resolutions to challenges can occur, and the consciousness of the human race may be lifted up.
Tonight begins a four-week Discovery Class on Zoom, in which we will connect heart-to-heart with curious, interested and interesting people who are ready for a deeper dive into New Thought history, basic Principles of Science of Mind, and their effective application. There is no charge for this course, and love offerings are always welcome. If you contact Linda O’Neill at admin@cslphilly.com RIGHT AWAY, you may still be able to receive the bountiful handout and print it out. We meet from 6:30 – 8:30 P.M. and provide opportunities to connect with each other and to ask questions. You won’t want to miss any week; yet, you are welcome to join us for whatever portion you can.
We continue live streaming Sunday Celebrations each week on You Tube and Facebook, both accessed through our website, www.cslphilly.org. Even when the time eventually comes when we are able to meet again in person, this wonderful way to connect will occur each Sunday, and Rev. Mike and I enjoy sending our daily “Love Notes” to you from our living room. Our theme for August is: “Walking Each Other Home in Five Steps,” and this Sunday’s topic is, “You Are THAT!”
Remember that spiritual assistance is close at hand, and our Practitioners are standing by, ready to assist you with any challenges or “growth opportunities.” They are listed on the website, along with archived Sunday Celebrations and Love Notes. Thank you for keeping your Beloved Community strong with your prayers and financial support.
With great love and respect,
Dr. Maxine
