April, 2022: BoT SPOT from your Board of Trustees

Leave a reply

Welcome to GPCSL’s April BoT SPOT!

Emergence: A Special Invitation

The dictionary provides the following definition for ‘emergence’:  “…the process of coming into view or becoming exposed after being concealed.”

It’s wonderful to delight in the emergence happening all around us. Animals and plants alike respond to the call. We too have the opportunity to “come into view”, both physically and in consciousness at a special, in-person Easter Sunday Celebration on April 17th at the Great Valley Sheraton in Frazer. It’s the first of many in-person GPCSL events planned for 2022 and promises to be a morning filled with music, inspiration, and celebration…and we look forward to seeing you, you, and YOU there!!!

GPCSL Board Update: The GPCSL Board of Trustees is currently focused on evaluating our financial position, identifying opportunities for future events, and ultimately a new meeting place for in-person Sunday Celebrations and classes. Great things to come and a great big thank you to all who contribute their time, talent, and treasure to our beloved community and Center! We continue to be a beacon of light for those seeking a community and philosophy that promotes Living, Loving, and Learning with Spirituality that Works!

Don’t hesitate to contact me or anyone on the Board if you have questions, comments, or suggestions. We love to hear from you!

In gratitude,

Edie Janik

President, GPCSL Board of Trustees, sqemj@hotmail.com

Most of us seek the cause in the effect and unknowingly put the cart before the horse, not realizing that the flower is already in the seed, and that effects must follow causes. There can be no true alliance apart from life and no good apart from a unity with the Whole. ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 163
All manifestation begins within and expresses itself into the world of visible reality. Just as the oak tree resides within the acorn, so does every imaginable good lie within the inner realm of infinite possibility. Life must emerge and continues to do so, even from what may seem to be lifeless. Spring reminds us that there is an eternal forward movement of life, that the earthly seasons and the seasons of our hearts are forever changing, and that everything truly is working together in harmony.
As co-creators with Universal Creative Intelligence, we develop seed ideas within our hearts, plant them safely in the healthy soil of Subjective Mind, and expect our vision to unfold until it emerges into the physical world. Trusting the Spirit that gives of Its Bounty to us, the Law which produces what is planted, and our ability to speak our word of power, we thrive in our life experiences. Those who intentionally or inadvertently sow seeds of negativity do not reap a crop of constructive events.
Let’s be mindful of our joyous responsibility to align completely with Source, to trust deeply in the Law of Mind, and to honor our courageous Word of Truth. Setting our intentions clearly, we produce only that which is life-affirming, constructive, and for the highest good of all. Life is springing forth and continues to bring beauty and joy into our lives, as we mindfully plant what we truly wish to reap.
We are so grateful for your presence with us each Sunday morning. as we live stream our Celebration to you via YouTube and Facebook. We begin at 10:30 A.M.

Get ready my soul, I’m diving in; get ready my soul, I’m diving in; To the deepest kind of love; to the sweetest kind of life. Get ready, get ready my soul. ~ Lyrics by Daniel Nahmod
Just as Jesus entered Jerusalem, the “City of Peace,” on the journey to fulfill his divine destiny, so we are constantly preparing for a greater awareness of the Presence which nurtures and guides us every step of the way. The coming “Holy Week” relates the story of complete surrender, as the human, Jesus, gave way to the Divine Christ, proving Its Presence within each of us. It is the guiding Wisdom which abides within us all, eternally singing a sweet song of victory over all obstacles.
Preparation for the resurrection experience must involve that inner journey to the heart, relinquishing all false sense of separation or duality, and claiming the Eternal Life which is the Truth of all. It is with humility, courage, and faith that we enter fully into the rising up of our consciousness from separation to Oneness and from the merely human to the Radiant Divine. Let’s walk together toward a greater realization of the true experience of the Risen Christ within us all.
This Sunday, we continue live streaming our Celebration to you via YouTube and Facebook from the Inspiration Café in Paoli at 10:30 A.M. Go to our website, www.cslphilly.org and click on the “watch live” button. You will find uplifting music, prayer, meditation, Kid Talk, inspirational message, and news of upcoming events. The talk will be, “Get Ready, My Soul,” as we explore a New Thought look at Palm Sunday.
SUNDAY AFTER NEXT, APRIL 17th, WE WILL GATHER IN PERSON FOR A BEAUTIFUL EASTER CELEBRATION.  Bring your family and your friends to a grand celebration at the Oxford Room in the Sheraton Hotel in Frazer at 10:30 A.M. Come and make this the most wonderful celebration of New Life we have yet experienced. We are seeking a venue in the general area where we may meet on a monthly basis, as we go forward. This very special event with wonderful musicians and a very special place to gather will be the first time we have been with one another in person for a very long time. Please put in on your calendar and join us for a beautiful Easter Morning Celebration!

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep! You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep! People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch, The door is round and open. Don’t go back to sleep! – Rumi
The 13th Century Persian poet and mystic, Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi wrote these words with the clear intention that we maintain our awareness on the higher consciousness of infinite possibility and the necessity of remaining awake to our greater truth. It is in the powerful moment of Now that we are able to speak to our true desires, “what you really want,” not succumbing to past limitations or current external suggestions.
It takes determination to keep open and aware of new discoveries we make in consciousness and to a growing faith to follow the new leadings from our hearts. As we awaken from the “world dream” of separation, limitation, and deprivation, we become aware of Oneness, Freedom, and Abundance, all of which are the birthright of every sentient being.
We may lovingly assist one another in staying true to our divine purpose, gently reminding each other that we are, indeed, co-creating “A World That Works for All.” Let’s continue walking together on this spiritual, evolutionary journey, insisting on nothing less than the fullness of Life for everyone. Let’s “stay awake” to the Infinite Possibilities available to all of us and bring about an enlightened world.
We love having you with us on line each Sunday morning on, as we live stream our Celebration to you via YouTube and Facebook. We begin at 10:30 A.M. EDT from The Inspiration Café, our temporary office at 360 N. Valley Rd., Paoli, PA 19301. Simply go to our website, www.cslphilly.org  and feel welcomed by the music, uplifted by prayer, and inspired by the messages. This precious hour connects us with Spirit and with each other. Invite your friends to share in this special time with us or to visit our website and view archived Celebrations and our Love Notes. This is the last Sunday with our March theme, “Awaken, Thou That Sleepest,” and Dr. Maxine will be offering this important suggestion, “Don’t Go Back to Sleep.”
Our wonderful Practitioners are trained with spiritual tools to work with you in any area of your life. Whether you are ready to heal a conflict, experience more joy, greater love, or simply with to connect more deeply with Source, you may contact any of them on the   Practitioner Page of our website. Trust your intuition to select the right one for you.
With great love and respect,
Dr. Maxine

You can cut all the flowers, but you cannot keep Spring from coming.  ~ Pablo Neruda

There is Something innately and permanently alive within each of us, always ready to be awakened to the Divine Presence that created us out of Its very Life.  No matter what challenging experiences a person may have faced, despite any injustice, damage, or deprivation, and regardless of beliefs to the contrary, this Life must manifest.  Like the grass in the crack of the sidewalk, “it will out!”

You and I are continuously growing in awareness of the divinity that is our reality, forever awakening to our Authentic Self, which is a unique and beautiful individualized expression of God’s Life.  Whatever human lack, loss, or limitation we may have experienced, it is the Truth of our Divine Nature that ultimately reveals itself on our spiritual, evolutionary journey.

From this personal awakening comes the ability to connect consciously with other caring, compassionate, creative people to bring forth the Love, Peace, and Wisdom that may have been hiding in humanity.  As we seek to perceive the Reality of Spirit beyond the inappropriate behaviors, the invitation becomes impossible to refuse, and limited or negatively focused people begin to remember Who and Whose they are.

You are invited to join us on-line each Sunday morning on, as we live stream our Celebration to you via YouTube and Facebook. We begin at 10:30 A.M. DST from The Inspiration Café, our temporary office at 360 N. Valley Rd., Paoli, PA 19301. As you go to our website, www.cslphilly.org you will find welcoming music, prayer, uplifting messages, and a wonderful connection with Spirit and with each other.  Inviting your friends to join us on Sundays or to visit our website and view archived Celebrations and our Love Notes is possible at any time.  We continue our March theme, “Awaken, Thou That Sleepest,” and Rev. Mike will be offering his uplifting talk about “Green and Growing” this Sunday.

For any human condition you may be experiencing, there is always a spiritual solution, and our Practitioners are trained with spiritual tools to work with you in any area of your life that you are ready to transform. You will find our Practitioners and Intern on the Practitioner Page of our website. Get to know them and work with whomever you select to enhance your life experience.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine
