No external change may occur until a shift has taken place in the depth of our consciousness. A desire for physical health and wellbeing begins with forming a mental equivalent of Wholeness within the mind and heart. Likewise, our longing for a world of peace, harmony, equity, and abundance can only be fulfilled as we deepen our individual and collective awareness of the Infinite Possibilities that await our recognition of them.
It is wonderful to know that everything we can ever desire is already available and actually germinating within us, just as the oak tree is nascent within the acorn. As our hearts and minds open to greater ideas and begin to create larger spiritual prototypes, our personal and global experiences become sweeter, more successful, and in perfect alignment with Truth.
As we work diligently and compassionately from the Center of all Possibility within our own hearts, we begin to see those inner changes creating grand and glorious external manifestations all around us. As we approach Earth Day, we find this inner work especially meaningful for our planet, as well as for all humanity. Supporting one another in our Beloved Community, that work becomes joyous and flourishing.
Our Sunday Celebration will be livestreamed this week from the Inspiration Café in Paoli, featuring Rev. Mike Gerdes, as he continues our month’s theme: “Inspiration,” and speaks on, “Be the Change; Cultivate Compassion.” Simply go to our website www.cslphilly.org and click on the “Watch Now” button to join us for an uplifting hour. You may also choose to scroll through the site and find interesting events, classes, and archived Sunday Celebrations and Love Notes.
Although our challenges may at times seem large, or even overwhelming, we remember Ralph Waldo Emerson’s wise words, “There is no great and no small to the Soul that maketh all.” Another way to put this is, “God is bigger than that!” You may wish to check out the Practitioner Page on our website and select one of our caring and well-trained Practitioners to assist you in opening to a Divine Solution for your human concerns.
With great love and respect,
Dr. Maxine
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we considered every week, “Holy Week,” recognizing the Presence of Spirit everywhere and within all people? It truly is a matter of perspective and a willingness to see with the Eye of Love (the Eye of Unity) rather than viewing our personal lives and the world in duality. Yes, we are in the midst of honoring the quiet path that leads to the renewal and resurgence of Immortal Life, as Jesus demonstrated. In truth, we needn’t wait until the Easter Season to celebrate the resurrected consciousness of Love and Life.
As we continue encouraging one another to let our lights shine more brightly, we open our hearts widely to the new possibilities that exist for us, personally and globally. This beautiful spring season lifts our hearts and reminds us of the eternal cycles of Life and our significant part in them. As Holy Week approaches, we prepare for the rebirth of our individual and group consciousness, while accepting the quietness that precedes the flowering of our awareness of New Life. It is in this place of deep peace that we feel Spirit’s Inspiration and begin to awaken to the Peace and Power within all creation.
