It is wonderful to appreciate the many freedoms we enjoy, never losing sight of the Source which provides them and each individual consciousness that invites these beautiful experiences to occur in our lives. We do not take for granted our ability to move about the planet freely nor our great gift to choose the highest and most life-affirming thoughts and feelings. It is our inner beliefs that create our reality, so we are wise enough to maintain an ever-expanding consciousness of peaceful, powerful, productive mental equivalents.

Our teaching invites us to relinquish any and all limiting beliefs and enter into a whole, new world of possibilities. It also encourages us to include all people in our desire for joyous life experiences, as well as peace, harmony, and prosperity for everyone. As we remember that we are at liberty to make these wholesome choices for ourselves and others, we align ourselves more closely with the Divine Intention for Its creation to prosper and thrive in this wonderful Life experience. Let’s keep choosing well!

Join us on livestream this Sunday from the Inspiration Café in Paoli. Our theme for the month of July is, “Freedom” and I’ll be speaking about, “Liberty AND Life.” We begin at 10:30 A.M. and can be found by going to our website, www.cslphilly.org and pressing the orange “Watch” button. These Celebrations are archived on the website and can be viewed at another time, as well. Do scroll through and see valuable information and interesting events you may enjoy.

Our “God Squad” is available to work with you on any life challenges you may be facing and can be reached on the Practitioner Page on our website. Whomever you select will be happy to schedule an appointment, either in person or on the phone, to assist you in deepening your connection to Spirit and lifting your consciousness to greater Good.

With great love and respect,

Our spiritual work is best done in serene and faith-filled acceptance, relying on the generosity of Spirit and the dependability of the Law. We are wise to become aware of any areas of doubt or concern that might, otherwise, impede the fulfillment of our hearts’ desires, as we transform them into a positive, creative system of belief. A healthy expectancy opens our hearts and minds to the ease and joy of receiving our Good, and maintaining such a clear and receptive instrument insures the continued flow of blessings in our lives.

Once we have made a conscious, creative decision, we are to sustain trust in the choice we have selected, resting in calm, clear assurance that we chose wisely, are supported by Divine Wisdom, and responded to positively by the Law of Mind. We do not second-guess our decisions but maintain confidence in the spiritual guidance that led us to them. Awaiting the result with cheerful expectancy and growing gratitude is the wisest course of action.

Even if we decide later to choose differently, we can be thankful both for the good we received from the first demonstration and our freedom to set another cause into motion. Our whole lives are about choice, selecting that which is appropriate at the time, then deciding on that which is more in alignment with our needs in the next moment. Each conscious, caring decision we make brings us closer to awakening us to our Authentic Self and opens us to become greater receivers of Life’s Bounty.

Catch us on our livestream this Sunday from the Inspiration Café in Paoli, as we complete June’s theme of, “Selectivity.” Rev. Mike and I will be sharing a “He Said/She Said” talk on, “Trusting the Choice.” We begin at 10:30 A.M. and can be found by going to our website, www.cslphilly.org and pressing the orange “Watch” button. If you are not able to tune in at that time, just follow the same procedure later in the day or week to catch our Celebration. The website also provides rich information on events and activities which may interest you.

Open the Practitioner Page on our website and choose one of our caring and competent GPCSL Practitioners, ready to work with you in any challenging area of your life. They not only lift you in Spiritual Mind Treatment (Affirmative Prayer) but are happy to teach you to use the spiritual tools that allow the essential changes in consciousness that alter the external conditions.

With great love and respect,

We understand that “The idea is father to the experience,” meaning that our thoughts produce conditions in our lives and in the world.  Our conscious intention is the most essential ingredient in our creative work, as those undiscovered thought patterns within us continue to play out in our circumstances until we finally recognize and transform them.  Making a clear, conscious, wise, compassionate, and powerful choice generates the highest and best results in our individual lives, in our Beloved Community, and far beyond.  The world truly is in need of our deep faith and our continually expanding consciousness.

As we celebrate our fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, sons, and all men who have contributed to our wellbeing over the years, let’s realize that it is the Indwelling Presence of Spirit within them that has shared the Wisdom and the Love guiding and lifting us still. Let’s also remember that the volitional aspect of Spirit dwells within each of us and makes it possible to generate greater and greater Good for ourselves and others.  This “Masculine Principle,” as Dr. Holmes referred to it, is the starting point of creation.

Just as Divine Mind is infinite in Its capability of producing possibilities beyond what has previously existed, so each of us selects and generates brand, new manifestations that were never before experienced, yet divinely inspired for greatness.  Let’s start something wonderful!

We continue livestreaming this Sunday from the Inspiration Café in Paoli, focusing on June’s theme of, “Selectivity,” and I will be speaking on, “The Starting Point,” as we celebrate Father’s Day. We begin at 10:30 A.M. and can be found by going to our website, www.cslphilly.org and pressing the orange “Watch” button. If you are not able to tune in at that time, just follow the same procedure later in the day or week to catch our Celebration.  The website also provides rich information on events and activities which may interest you.

As you open the Practitioner Page on our website, you will find several GPCSL Practitioners who are happy to assist you with whatever human challenge you may be facing.  They use spiritual tools to change the consciousness that changes conditions, so choose with whomever you wish to work and contact them for an appointment.

With great love and respect,

How wonderful it is to realize that we live in an Intelligent Universe and that we have moment-to-moment use of this Creative Intelligence. It is expressed through all nature, as well as through our own minds and bodies. As we learn to rely on Its Wisdom and follow this innate guidance, we find ourselves making clear, appropriate, loving, and intelligent decisions. We understand that we also have the ability to make erroneous choices, with their subsequent negative consequences. In Raymond Charles Barker’s wonderful book, “The Power of Decision,” he expresses amazement that human beings are capable of using this Intelligence rather unintelligently!

Let’s make powerful, creative, life-affirming choices in using the Power for Good that intelligently and consistently inspires the Law of Mind to grow those ideas into fruitful manifestations for our aliveness and wellbeing. We have been entrusted with this sacred and joyous responsibility, so let’s apply our greatest wisdom and discernment to each decision we make, assuring that it is for the greatest good of all concerned, including ourselves.

In this Sunday’s livestream from the Inspiration Café in Paoli, we continue June’s theme of, “Selectivity,” and Rev. Mike will be speaking on, “Using Intelligence Intelligently.” Join us at 10:30 A.M. by going to our website, www.cslphilly.org and pressing the orange “Watch” button. You may also watch it later in the day or week in the same manner. Our calendar helps us be knowledgeable about upcoming, in-person events activities, including the Yard Sale this Saturday at Inteprod in Eagleville from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M.  Click here for details, bring your items for sale, invite your family and friends to shop for some great deals which will help our youth attend CSL’s July Teen Camp in Oregon.

When we seek spiritual assistance, turning to the Practitioner Page on our website will provide the names and contact information for our Licensed Practitioners. Whomever you select will work with you in consciousness to manifest greater good, love, and wisdom in your life.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Since we understand that our most important gift is the power of choice, we are inspired to bring wisdom and clarity to each selection we make, in our thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. As we progress along our spiritual paths, we become more discerning, opting for that which is in integrity, expressing greater life, and aligned with universal harmony. We also are happy to find that, if a choice is made that is not for our highest good, we are free to choose again! The Law of Mind responds as reliably the second time as It did the first!

We have a perfect right to choose for ourselves the direction of our attention without the need to invite outside opinion, as we have sovereignty over our own minds and hearts. The Divine Intuition within us can always be depended upon to lead us in the right and true direction, as It comes direct from Spirit and is never confused with the human intellect. Indeed It works THROUGH our mentality, and we are wise to listen to Its promptings. Let’s become so selective in our decisions that we deepen our awareness of Divine Guidance and make wise and life-affirming choices every day.

Join us online this Sunday for the beginning of the beautiful, new month of June, our new theme being, “Selectivity.” We are thankful to Linda O’Neill for providing us a space to livestream our message, which will be, “The Power of Choice.” We begin at 10:30 A.M. and you may be with us by going to our website, www.cslphilly.org and pressing the orange “Watch” button. You also have the opportunity to watch it later in the day or week in the same manner. Keep an eye on the calendar, as we continue finding creative means of coming together in person at other times during the week.

You can find spiritual assistance by scrolling to the Practitioner Page of our website, where their contact information is listed. Select any of them to set up an in-person or telephone appointment, and prepare to deepen your understanding and expand your consciousness.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
