When we realize that the Life of Spirit flows constantly through all creation and enlivens each one of us to the extent that we open ourselves to It, we willingly become more receptive to the generous outpouring of this Bounty. If, day be day, we feel more in tune with the Universe, more alive to God’s Life, and more aware of our innate Joy, we are moving in the right direction.

It is we who must open our consciousness to the Infinite Possibilities that exist for us, aligning ourselves with Spirit, deepening our faith, and inviting Spirit to show up in our lives in beautiful and sometimes unexpected ways. The Source is forever loving and giving to us. It does not require special sacrifices, bargaining, or following any particular tradition. It provides a continual flow of Abundance in every form and requires only that we align with It and become generous receivers. We then find ourselves role models for others who may have forgotten the Authentic Self, and we have the pleasure of helping them awaken to this magnificent Life.

We are happy to be together next Sunday in Eagleville at Inteprod and look forward to seeing many of you there. If you are out of the area or otherwise unable to attend in person, just go to www.cslphilly.org and press orange “Watch Live” at 10:30 A.M. EDT to be with us. Continuing with this month’s theme, “Aliveness,” we will focus on, “The Mind Alert; the Heart Aroused,” as we understand more deeply the ways to open ourselves to Life’s Bountiful Goodness.

In addition to Rev. Mike’s ongoing Saturday morning “How to Use the Science of Mind” book study, we begin our Tuesday and Thursday evening Zoom classes the last week of this month. Join me on Tuesday, September 26^th from 6:30 to 8:30 P.M. for a five-week love offering class, “Meditation and Serendipity,” and/or Rev.

Teilhard de Chardin’s beautiful statement, “The Unimpeachable Wholeness of the  Universe,” always brings me back quickly to the  awareness of the marvelous context in which all the human contents are held, deepening my faith that, in truth, all is well. Returning to this precious realization of Divine Integrity brings me confidence and serenity and tends to inspire others to discover their own essential connection to what is permanent in the face of much impermanence in the world.

One of the richest blessings we may experience is our Unity with God and the knowledge that this Powerful Presence underlies all human activity and does, in fact, nurture and guide Its beloved creation in all ways and at all times.  It is the very Life of us all and restores us whenever we digress from our awareness of Oneness.  In experiences of temporary illness, we do not “recover” our health but uncover the Wholeness that is our divine birthright.  The Eternal Truth is a constant, while our occasional divergence from It is transitory, so let’s not give those false notions keep us from recalling our Truth.

Tune in this Sunday to our “Lovestream,” as Rev. Mike addresses, “Initiating Wholeness” Loving September’s theme: “Aliveness,” he will remind us how we may return to our divine wellbeing at any time. We will be livestreaming from the Inspiration Café, and you can be with us virtually by going to www.cslphilly.org at 10:30 A.M. Eastern Time and clicking on the “Watch Live” button. Classes and workshops begin soon, so do check our calendar of events and join us for whatever speaks to your heart.

Reaching out to our licensed practitioners is a wise decision when we seek spiritual solutions for human problems, so going to our Practitioner Page and contacting one listed there can make all the difference in shifting our perspective, connecting with a Power greater than we are, and coming home to our Wholeness.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine 

Waking up this morning, I see the blue sky. I join my hands in thanks for the many wonders of life; for having twenty-four brand-new hours before me. The sun is rising. The forest becomes my awareness bathed in sunshine.  ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Our “waking” is far more than our morning eye-opening and start of the day. It truly is the moment-to-moment emergence of the Divine Life within us that desires and requires expression through us. How wonderful it feels to invite that aliveness to stimulate our minds and bodies, bringing smiles to our hearts and joy to our activities. It is remembering Who and Whose we are that we truly come alive in Spirit, and it is this awareness that activates and awakens the Authentic Self of those around us.

We were not created to experience humdrum lives but to align with the Creative Life within us to experience an ever-expanding consciousness of Spirit expressing in, through, and as us. Let’s all awaken to the Joy of the Divine stirring within us and insist on glorious manifestations of true delight for ourselves and others.

As we prepare to enter a new month, we expect to enjoy September’s theme: “Aliveness,” and Sunday’s topic will be, “Wake Up to Joy.” We will be livestreaming from the Inspiration Café, and you can be with us virtually by going to www.cslphilly.org at 10:30 A.M. Eastern Time and clicking on the orange “Watch Live” button. While you are there, you’ll find important information about us and our current and future events by scrolling through the site. Be sure to read about new classes beginning later this month.

Our licensed practitioners are listed on our Practitioner Page, where you may select whomever you wish to call. They provide spiritual tools for human challenges and are always glad to work with you, either in person or on the phone.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Although Peace is a proper destination, we clearly have not yet arrived there.  In both personal and global situations, misunderstandings and conflict still occur, so we must learn how to bring the underlying, forever alive, and eternally possible Spirit of Peace into every thought, feeling, action, and interaction. The response is always positive and immediate, for people quickly feel embraced in Spirit’s Serenity, and this consciousness can change the very atmosphere in the room.

It seems one of our important “human missions” is to transform unlovely thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors into something more divine.  Turning turbulence into tranquility can only occur when we remember that this precious Presence does not require any special rituals or sacred words to bring it forth, only the recollection that It exists, independent of any challenging situation.

The night may be long, but we can count on the fact that, “Morning always wins!” Rather than buying into a friend’s upset or grave global circumstances, we are tasked to rise above a greater vision of what is spiritually so and divinely eternal.  Situations come and go, while God is, “Today, tomorrow, and forever!”

Join us this Sunday at Inteprod in Eagleville, as Rev. Mike speaks about, “What to Do With Conflict” and shares our amazing experiences of the past two weeks, the tools we learned, and the consciousness-lifting experiences we are happy to bring back to our Beloved Community.  If you cannot attend in person and wish to watch via our “Lovestream,” simply go to www.cslphilly.org at 10:30 A.M. Eastern Time, and click on the orange “Watch Now” button. You may also look through the site and find interesting events, activities, and classes planned.

Check out our Practitioner Page if you are interested in working with one of our fine Practitioners.  They are all posted there with their contact information, so bring to them any sense of conflict or unhappiness, and any of them will happily work with you to get a better idea and to change your life for the better.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
