To awaken oneself is to be healed, made prosperous, happy and satisfied; to be
made every whit whole, to be complete as we were intended to be.  ~Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 488

Just as each individual walks the path of evolution, so is the entire human race becoming awake to its intrinsic spirituality, revealing more completely each moment the innate Wholeness that is the truth of all humankind. The road may seem long, even arduous at times; yet, the divine impulsion of the Universe continues to inspire our forward progress. The more aware we become of having come forth from the One Divine Mind, replicating the substantive qualities of Spirit, the more easily we are able
to develop and express these truths in our life experience.

Meister Eckhardt often referred to, “The Unimpeachable Wholeness of the Universe,”
which is an eternal reality of which we all partake, and it is more real and true than any
temporary condition. It is in being alive in the Life of God that we begin revealing our
Wholeness and our Abundance in every area of being. We move more easily from
external circumstances to the Center of All Good when we remember not only to walk
but to dance along the evolutionary road. Health is your spiritual birthright, and
prosperity is your divine inheritance. Let’s all wake up together!

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.  All things are bound together. All things connect. ~ Chief Seattle

 One, alone, in consciousness with the Infinite, constitutes a complete majority. Knowing this in your thought, work in perfect peace and calm.  ALWAYS EXPECT THE GOOD.  Have enthusiasm and, above all, have a consciousness of love — a radiant feeling flowing through your consciousness at all times. ~   Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 184

All life is a unity, expressing in beautiful multiplicity, and just as you and I are one with the Divine Presence, so we are completely connected with each other.  It is in discovering and rediscovering our spiritual roots that we are able to express that divinity in our personal lives, with one another, and into the world itself.

Underlying all human conflict and confusion, the Ultimate Harmony upholds and continues expressing through all sentient beings, and it is our awareness of this Divine Accord that makes all things possible.  Divisiveness gives way to Oneness, struggle to Serenity, and fear to Faith, as we feel and know God’s Loving and Powerful Presence manifesting in, through, and as each of us.

As we reach inward, experiencing the sweet, dynamic Presence of the One, it is only natural that we extend our hearts to one another, including, respecting, honoring, and appreciating that spiritual magnificence in each person we encounter. Let’s work together, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, to bring about the vision we have talked about: “A World That Works for All.”  We have enough spiritual power to co-create and celebrate this vision, for it is the Divine Power within us all that is working peacefully and powerfully through us for the greatest Good we have yet known.

We love connecting with you each week on our live-streamed Sunday Celebrations at 10:30 A.M. on You Tube and Facebook. To join us and to invite your friends to spend an uplifting hour with us.  Simply go to our website, www.cslphilly.org. Our theme for October is, “Living Our Values,” and this Sunday’s  topic is, “The Values of Oneness, Harmony, and Inclusion.”  Previous Sunday Celebrations are archived on our website, along with the daily “Love Notes” that Rev. Mike and I enjoy sharing with you. It was fun seeing so many of you last Sunday at our socially-distanced, soul-satisfying “Tailgate” gathering in the later afternoon!

Our Center’s Practitioners are always ready to provide spiritual support for you, as they also continue to sustain our Center in prayer-treatment. Thank you so much for your continued contributions that are keeping our Center healthy enough to open the doors for us all, when the time is right.

With great love and respect,

The essence of Love, while elusive, pervades everything, fires the heart, stimulates the emotions, renews the soul and proclaims the Spirit.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 478

In the month of October, our gaze will be on the Core Values of our Beloved Community, and our intention will be to incorporate and live those values with which we resonate.  It is when we look deeply within our hearts to see what is precious, valuable, and essential to our lives that we begin living more fully from the center of the True Self.  Human experiences then become viewed from a greater perspective, one in which we remain committed to those higher ideals that motivate and lead us successfully through life.

Reading through the Greater Philadelphia Center for Spiritual Living’s Core Values, we probably discover that they align well with our own, and we may be encouraged to live them more fully in our experiences.  They are: Love, Kindness, Healing, Oneness, Co-Creation, Abundance, Spiritual Growth, Service, Inclusion, and Harmony. We will address them all over the next four Sundays and see how we may embody and live them more completely in our personal lives, then extend them to the world.

Examining our individual values is a wonderfully productive exercise, as it elevates us to see deeper meaning in our existence and allows us to use discernment in the thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and activities we may choose.  Asking, “Is this mine to do?” in the context of, “Does this align with my core values?” insures our choice of the right road for our endeavors, as we discover,  develop, and follow our life purpose.

Creativity is intelligence having fun.  Albert Einstein

As our spiritual community comes together to find and implement innovative and inspired ideas to co-create a new environment of “Living, Loving, and Learning,” we do well to enter into these divine activities with joy, as well as with clear intention.  Ernest Holmes suggested that we “take what we are doing seriously,” while not “taking ourselves too seriously” while we are doing it!

We rely on Principle for all creative activity, as we join together in One Mind and One Heart to bring about an inspired future for the Greater Philadelphia Center for Spiritual Living, enhanced Peace and Prosperity for ourselves and our loved ones, and True Harmony and Wholeness for the world.  The Infinite Intelligence of this Universe is available at all times and in all places and is actually flowing through each one of us now. As we welcome this Divine Activity with love and delight, opening our hearts to one another, we begin amazing ourselves with what truly is possible.

It requires moving beyond any former subjective patterns of lack or limitation, as we expand into greater freedom and joyous living. Neither global catastrophes nor personal challenges have any power of themselves, as conditions change as quickly as a new consciousness prevails.  As we establish beautiful, new spiritual prototypes in our individual and collective consciousness, the Creative Infinite Intelligence reveals them with great success.

Even while we connect with one another virtually at this time, we are using a Power for Good that is greater than we are, yet right within and all around us. We are privileged to use it for good and honored to allow IT to use us for even greater Good. Let’s let this Intelligence show us the resources at hand, as we move creatively and joyfully into a new realm of divine activity.

You are cordially invited to join us in our live-streamed Sunday Celebration this Sunday at 10:30 A.M. on You Tube and Facebook.  Simply go to our website, www.cslphilly.org. Our  theme for September is, “Everything New,” and this Sunday’s topic is, “The Creative Community.” This Sunday’s Annual Community Meeting will take place from 12:30 – 2:45 P.M. and will be a lively, informative, important, and delightful gathering on Zoom.  Please contact Linda O’Neil at admin@cslphilly.com for more information.

Remember that our Practitioners stand by to serve the Center and its individuals with spiritual support, ready to reveal greater truth for all. You will find their information on our website. We so appreciate your continued spiritual and financial support that keeps your Beloved Community alive and well and doing its part to make a difference in our world, personally and globally.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
