The greatest lesson we have to learn is the unity of Love and Law; the necessity of law in shaping a divine individuality and the necessity of experience in awakening to this divine individuality. God is Love and God is Law; the Love of God is omnipresent and the Law of God is omnipresent.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 460

Understanding that Infinite Love is the Divine Givingness of God and that each of us is an instrument through which this Presence must express, we can celebrate our place in the Divine Mind and Heart. Entering into the perfect flow of Life, we both give and receive, becoming especially effective as we keep our mental, emotional, and physical instruments clear and open to the nurture and guidance of Spirit.

Loving God, loving self, loving others, and loving the world, we cannot help but shine a necessary and brilliant light to add to the One Light we all share.  The essence of Love becomes the activity of Love, when we expand the notion of It beyond human sentimentality and romance.  It truly is a great power and, in fact, the only power that is able to see through temporary conditions to the Eternal Reality behind them all. With its activation, we can perceive everyone’s Divinity beyond any human behavior and become a positive influence for Good in our lives and in the world.  Let’s choose to connect with all sentient beings in the very Heart of God and use the Power for Good . . . for Good!

Our Sunday morning Celebrations begin at 10:30 A.M. each week, live streamed and available through our website: www.cslphilly.org and may be viewed any time during the week. Last Sunday, Rev. Mike and your small-but-powerful Production Team drove  through a seriously beautiful snowstorm to arrive safely at the Center, in order to bring you the Celebration and returned home securely, as well. The Love Notes that Rev. Mike and I send from our living room are also available on the website.  Centers for Spiritual Living theme for 2021 is, “Timeless Wisdom; Evolution Vision,” February’s theme is, “One Journey; Many Paths,” and next Sunday’s talk title is, “One Mind; One Heart.” Invite your friends to join in, as we celebrate a larger version of Valentine’s Day!

Spirit being All and Only, there is nothing for It to change into but Itself.  Therefore, It is the Changeless, within which must take place all change or manifestation of Itself.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 66

Understanding that we are all co-creators with the Infinite Intelligence of the Universe, we are grateful to remember that, while forms come and go, Spirit is the Changeless Reality within all external manifestations of Life. Everyone of us is moving along a path of spiritual evolution, each at the right and proper pace, and we continue learning the highest and best ways to utilize this Creative Process for ourselves, others, and the world itself.

The more we endeavor to learn about the avenues along which others may be traveling, the deeper our understanding and appreciation grows, and the easier it becomes to perceive our Oneness. We may traverse multiple paths; yet, the Changeless Reality of Infinite Wisdom guides and directs each of us to an ever-greater Good.

Let’s keep our perspective attuned to the Foundation of Life, which is the Divine Love and Infinite Wisdom that indwells, sustains, and motivates all sentient beings. There is only God, appearing so many beautiful forms!

The account of Creation, which says “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth,” does not refer to a time when there was no creation, but rather to the process of an eternal creation, which is continual manifestation of Spirit.   Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 67

Since we are the instruments through which Spirit continually creates, we do well to keep our consciousness clear, our intentions pure, and our vision high.  It is our joyous responsibility to co-create our peaceful, prosperous, healthy, happy lives and to contribute our best energies to a World That Works for All!

As we continue working together to bring forth a New Reality, we realize that it is never, “I, of myself,” but the Intelligent, Creative Mind within and all around us, expressing through us, that accomplishes such beautiful, manifestations of Good . . . and with Grace and Ease.  Opening ourselves to the Loving and Wise Originating Presence, we release old patterns and replace them with only that which brings greater Life to everyone.

Let’s keep the channels clear, inviting the Divine Presence to work masterfully through us in this Eternal, Intelligent, Creative Activity we all are honored and delighted to share.

A new light is coming into the world.  We are on the borderland of a new experience. The veil between Spirit and matter is very thin.  The invisible passes into visibility through our faith in it.  A new science, a new religion, and a new philosophy are rapidly being developed.  This is in line with the evolution of the greater Presence and nothing can hinder its progress.   Ernest Holmes,  Science of Mind, p. 60

It is essential that we continue to maintain our clear focus on the New Vision of our country and of the world itself, knowing that God prevails, Harmony reigns, and Oneness is the everlasting Truth.  As we approach tomorrow’s Presidential Inauguration, watching this time-honored ritual virtually and with open hearts, we add our prayers for the greater success of our nation and its leadership.

This is the way we use the Intelligent, Creative Process to bring about what we have prayed about and to add our minds, hearts, and voices to the creation of our New Possibility.  We truly are entering into a new era, one of our conscious, creative choice, so let’s do this together.  The evolutionary process has guided us to this point, and it is now our sacred responsibility to give birth to a World That Works for All.  Let’s do this together.

Join us Sundays at 10:30 A.M. EST, for our live streamed Virtual Celebrations, and invite your friends to click on our website www.cslphilly.org  so you may all be with us from the comfort of your homes.

Mike and I share with you, by clicking on that same link.  Centers for Spiritual Living theme for 2021 is, “Timeless Wisdom; Evolutionary Vision,” and our theme for the month of January is, “Back to Basics; Forward to Foresight.” Keeping with Science of Mind tradition, we wrap up the month of basic Science of Mind review focusing on Introductory Chapter IV of the Textbook, “How to Use It,” and my topic for Sunday is, “Implementing a New Vision.”

As we gain the broader viewpoint, we shall see that Life must contain two fundamental characteristics.  We shall see that there is an Infinite Spirit, operating through an Infinite and Immutable Law.  In this, Cosmos, and not chaos, finds an eternal existence in Reality.  Love points the way and Law makes the way possible.  Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 43

With all the chaos we have witnessed this past week, we must remember the transitory nature of any and all temporary, outward conditions, and deepen our faith in and connection with the Universal Order and Harmony. Moving through shock, anxiety, and anger, we continue following the Infinite Wisdom that whispers Its guidance and the Divine Love that sings of greater Compassion.  Let “none of these things” move you out of the sacred sphere of God’s Perfect Life, for it is eternal, while the external is already in the process of transformation.

Recalling that everything in this Universe is Energy, and Its nature is to change on the outer, while maintaining Its integrity in the inner realms of the Infinite, we can rest in reason and move in confidence. Divine Love truly is the underlying, Universal Presence, guiding, nurturing, and revealing to us the larger Reality. The Law of Mind is our constant, reliable bringer of newness, as we wisely plant creative, peaceful, powerful, productive ideas and maintain our focus on them.

This is clearly what is ours to do today, and every day forward, for the Spirit uses us for Its powerful and loving expression, and we use the Law to keep our minds set on that which is true, that which is beautiful, and that which is “of good report.”  Let’s keep our vision clearly on a world of Love and Harmony we know is the Greater Plan for all of us.

Each Sunday at 10:30 A.M. EST, we bring you a live-streamed Celebration from our Sweet 16 facility, with simply the presenting minister and the production crew, so you may be with us virtually from the comfort of your home. This may also be viewed or revisited at any time of the day or later in the week. Centers for Spiritual Living theme for 2021 is, “Timeless Wisdom; Evolutionary Vision,” and our theme for the month of January is, “Back to Basics; Forward to Foresight.” Keeping with Science of Mind tradition, we devote the first four Sundays of the year to the basic concepts, found in the introductory chapters in the Science of Mind.  This is a great opportunity for long-time students to review and for new folks to learn about our teaching.  This Sunday’s topic is: “Courting the Presence; Directing the Law,” based on Introductory Chapter III.  As you log on to our website, www.cslphilly.org you’ll be directed to You Tube or Facebook. Sunday Celebrations and daily “Love Notes” from Rev. Mike and me are archived there for continued viewing on the Live Stream link.
