Although people often may feel disconnected from Source and from one another, the truth is that we live, and move, and breathe, and have our very being in the Life of God, a Life in which we all participate. It is the very soul and essence of our being, and, as we awaken to It, we are able to feel the Infinite Love of Spirit, as well as our deep connection to one another. There is nothing real or lasting about that false sense of separation, and we can assist others in regaining their connectedness to the Divine and to our beautiful human race.

Our own Beloved Community has maintained its integrity during these challenging years during and post Covid, delighting in our many opportunities to connect in person, as we await the discovery of our new location. We know that everything begins with an idea, a vision, a mental equivalent of the desired result. That is why it is necessary to work together in consciousness to form the idea in the Absolute, and watch it unfold in the relative. As Margaret Mead said, ”Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world. In fact, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

Each of us has something important to contribute to the Whole, as the arms and legs, eyes, and ears, minds and hearts required to continue moving us in our divine direction . . . forward!

Please join us in person this coming Sunday, October 8^th at Inteprod in Eagleville for our continued the month of October’s focus on “Truth,” and stay for the Annual Community Meeting that follows. Members and friends are invited to attend, as the Board of Trustees reviews the previous year and spells out our future plans. This is always a fun and informative time to gather and to add our voices to our Beloved Community. If you are not able to be physically present, you may watch our Celebration by going to www.cslphilly.org and press on the orange “Watch Live” button. My topic will be, “The Power of Unity.” If you are unable to join us in person, you may join Annual Meeting at Noon Eastern Time via Zoom by clicking here to register and receive the Zoom link.

I am also offering a two-hour session on “Converting Fear to Faith” on Wednesday, October 11 from 6:30-8:30 PM Eastern Time. Click here to learn more.

Concluding the month of September, in which we focused on “Aliveness,” moved gracefully through the change of season, and began new endeavors, we now look forward to beginning the month of October and its theme, “Truth.” As we move individually and collectively along our spiritual evolutionary paths, we realize how essential real honesty is in dealing with the healthy changes we are ready to make and the need to maintain our conscious connection to Infinite Wisdom.

Ernest Holmes suggested that we are to see facts for what they are, while not becoming overly concerned about something that is impermanent. Sticking to the Truth that God is the Essence of all life, that we are all individualizations of the Divine, and that we are co-creators with God, the wholesome changes we are ready to make in our own lives become more doable. Everything is possible when we understand the underlying Presence and Power that is forever nurturing, sustaining, and guiding us on the journey.

As we build a new consciousness, personally and collectively, it is our insistence on keeping our internal and external conversations at the highest level of awareness that makes it possible for us to develop healthy discernment. It is in embracing the Truth that “sets us free” and KEEPS us free that we are able to view the facts and the conditions as transitory forms, coming and going without disturbance.

Tonight, I begin the first of a five-week non-tuition class, “Meditation and Serendipity” from 6:30 to 8:30 on Zoom. If you register on Breeze quickly (click here), you will still be sent the link and workbook, and there is a small $10.00 fee for the materials. Rev. Mike begins a five-week, CSL Accredited Consciousness Class on Zoom, Emmet Fox’s “Mental Equivalents,” this Thursday, September 28^th, from 6:30 to 9:00 P.M. Registration is also through Breeze (click here to register). He also continues his popular Saturday morning study of, “How to Use the Science of Mind.”

To join our “love-stream” this Sunday, just go to www.cslphilly.org and press on the orange ”Watch Live” button. My topic will be, “Facts Insist; Truth Persists.” If you are otherwise occupied at 10:30 A.M. on October 1^st, you may use the same method to tune in later in the day or week. While you are on our website, you may wish to scroll through, learn more about us, and find interesting events that we offer.

We all recall the old story of the two people who experienced their mornings differently, one awakening and announcing, “Good Morning, Lord,” and the other murmuring, “God Lord, It’s Morning!” How we begin our days has much to do with how we experience the moments and hours to come. Of course, the good news is that we can start our day over at any time, begin to view our life through a new perspective, and enter into greater joy.

We may set the intention in each moment to become gratefully open to the aliveness of Spirit in us, the sweetness of Love and clarity of Divine Guidance moving through us, and the delight of what is ours to do. We have the right and the responsibility to set these affirmative ideas into motion and to allow ourselves to become elevated to a new level of consciousness, day by day.

This is a warm invitation to join us this coming Sunday at Wilson Farm Park, 500 Lee Rd., Chesterbrook, PA, for our outdoor Celebration, with Rev. Mike reminding us to, “Rise and Shine!” The service will be recorded and streamed later in the day for those not with us at the park. We look forward to one of our amazing Family Picnics following, with food to share, recipes to offer, a grill for your use, and lots of fun and games (be sure to click here to register and let us know how many will be joining us and feel free to bring a friend and receive a surprise gift.) If you are unable to attend in person, just go to www.cslphilly.org and press on the orange ”Watch” button later in the day, when the Celebration has been uploaded and available.

Be sure to register for one of the classes that begin next week. I’ll be teaching a five-week, non-tuition class, “Meditation and Serendipity” beginning Tuesday, September 26^th from 6:30 to 8:30 on Zoom. The link will be sent to you upon registration with Breeze and you will receive the workbook the Monday prior. Rev. Mike begins a five-week, CSL Accredited Consciousness Class on Zoom, Emmet Fox’s “Mental Equivalents,” beginning Thursday, September 28^th, from 6:30 to 9:00 P.M.

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. Mike on Thursday, September 28^th from 6:30 to 9:00 for the five-week accredited class, “Mental Equivalents.” You can register by clicking on the links here or by going to the Events Page on our website.

Check the Practitioner Page on our website if you would like help working on a challenge, or simply wish to expand your consciousness and deepen your faith. Select whomever you feel drawn to contact and let them shine a Light of Truth and even teach you the spiritual practices we employ in healing and revealing greater Truth.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
