The mind must conceive before the Creative Energy can produce; we must supply the avenue through which It can work.  It is ready and willing.  It is Its nature to spring into being through our thought and action.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p 47

Celebrating Father’s Day not only honors the wonderful men in our lives who have supported and inspired us, it also involves appreciating the universal masculine energy that fills us all with creative potential.  Our conscious choices determine our experience, and the Assertive Principle of Being is active within each of us, as well as in Universal Mind. We truly are, “father to our experience,” and we are blessed to remember this.

Indeed, Life fulfills Itself by means of every sentient being, and we are always at choice in the Creative Process.  It is a true and marvelous concept that we are completely free to co-create our world, both personally and globally.  It is when we step up to the Power within and use It for great and growing good that we begin fulfilling our purpose: To live fully, centered in God, and bringing a bit more heaven to earth.

We also celebrate graduations this month, delighted that in-person ceremonies are once again being held, after these many months of restriction.  Each of us is continually graduating from one state of consciousness to the next, expanding in awareness and employing the wisdom which dwells within us all.  Let’s celebrate everything, especially our partnership with the Divine, as It delights in our creative activity.

Next week, Sunday, June 27^th we “swing wide the doors” to our beautiful facility, grateful to our “Re-Opening Team” for thoughtful preparations for our return to “Sweet 16.” A very special “welcome Home” awaits all who attend in person, while we continue live streaming for our friends at a distance and anyone preferring to watch from their homes.

Our consciousness of God is our real self and at the same time it is both personal and impersonal.  It is personal in that it is personified through us and it is impersonal in that we are all using a universal power. When we know that we are using such a power all doubt as to our ability to use it will vanish and our words will be spoken with spontaneous reliance on Truth.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 408

As we align more closely every day with Spirit, the dynamic force for intelligent, inspired creativity within us, we no longer attempt to rely upon our human ego to make anything happen.  It is through this surrender of the “me” to the “I Am” that all power is given to us on heaven and earth.  It is in the continual discovery of the Real Self within us and in every person that we unlock the potency of our Word, co-creating both personally and universally, as we manifest a greater vision of satisfying and successful experiences.

We are wise to engage the Greater Power and to allow It to work through us, as we simply “Court the Presence and Direct the Law,” setting our healthy intentions, and letting this Divine Energy do what we, of ourselves, are not equipped to do without It. Remembering our Source is the key to every flourishing idea showing up in our world.

We are all looking forward to gathering once again in person on Sunday, June 27^th and our enthusiastic “Re-Opening Team” continues preparing for our return to our lovely Center at 16 Industrial Blvd. in Paoli. Expect a very special “welcome Home” to all who attend in person, while we continue live streaming for our friends at a distance and anyone preferring to watch from their homes.  We are all about options!  In-person classes and social events will also be returning, as we continue to provide virtual offerings.  Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M., as we discuss, “Implementing the Power for Good.”  Just click on the “Watch Live” button on www.cslphilly.org  You may also view previous Celebrations and “Love Notes” from Rev. Mike and me and check out our informative website.

We are so grateful for our skilled and compassionate Practitioners and Practitioner Interns who support our Center and its members and friends with spiritual mind treatment.  You may contact any of them via our website.

Each person is a center of self-conscious life; God is the Life Principle animating us.   ~ Ernest Holmes, Can We Talk to God, p. 24

As we enter into the lovely month of June, we may find a lighter energy inspiring thoughts of expanded movement into the summer season.  Visioning and planning joyous activities for ourselves and others, we do well to remember that we re-enact the creative nature of the Divine.  It is a wonderful thing to realize that each of us is empowered by the One Power, guided by an Infinite Intelligence, as we freely and successfully invite and allow this Life to live uniquely and dynamically through us.

When we know how essential we are to the Creative Process, individualized in each of us and fulfilling Itself by means of us, we feel more alive, confident, and capable of living from the highest consciousness and expressing the fullness of Life.  You and I are the instruments through which new, dynamic visions and versions of health, wealth, love, and creativity are revealed.  As we step into our divine authority, accepting responsibility for co-creating a wonderful life for ourselves and others. we become empowered to make clear, conscious choices.

God is the enlivening Presence within us that delights in expressing through us, as we move from any erroneous idea of separation from Source to the reality of our oneness with the Infinite Power and Possibility that is our divine heritage.  Let’s use the Power for Good for greater and greater good, deeper connection to the Divine, and continued creative expression.

Our resourceful and dedicated “Re-Opening Team” continues to prepare for our first Sunday back in our physical spiritual Home.  We are happily returning to 16 Industrial Boulevard on Sunday, June 27^th and plan a very special “welcome Home” to those in the area.  We will also continue live streaming for our friends at a distance and anyone preferring to watch from their homes.  In-person classes and social events will also be returning, as we continue to provide virtual offerings.  Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M. Our new theme for June is, “How Life Fulfills Itself,” and we will be remembering how,  “You Are a Center of Intelligent Activity”  Just click on the “Watch Live” button on www.cslphilly.org  You may also view previous Celebrations and Living Room talks from Rev.

And the time came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.  Anais Nin

We love the peace and comfort of knowing that God is our strong foundation, relying always on the eternal goodness, love, wisdom, and harmony that underlie every experience and all circumstances.  We also delight in the awakening energy within us to move into the world with confidence and purpose.  It is because of our dependency on the Divine that we are successful in our individual lives.  It is also because of the infinite possibilities that exist within Divine Mind that we are able to envision and manifest a World That Works for All.

It takes courage to expand in consciousness, and we all have that spiritual asset, as “courage” simply means, “of the heart,” and we are all born of the Heart of God, whole, complete, and capable.  It is when we understand, acknowledge, and accept our place in the Universe as individualized expressions of Divine Life that we experience the freedom to create our lives as we desire.  We may be assured of wise and loving support with each clear, conscious decision we make to expand from where we have been to where we are now choosing to be.

These are new, exhilarating times of great opportunity for each of us personally, for our Beloved Community, and for the world itself.  Thank you for moving patiently and faithfully with us since March of 2020, as we invited creative connections to keep us together in so many ways.  We are stronger, wiser, more imaginative and resourceful than ever before, so let’s continue growing exponentially and co-create a new heaven here and now.

We are so grateful to our stellar “Re-Opening Team” dedicated to preparing for our first Sunday back in our physical spiritual Home.  We are returning enthusiastically to 16 Industrial Boulevard on Sunday, June 27^th and plan a very special “welcome Home” to those in the area.  We will also continue live streaming for our friends at a distance and anyone preferring to watch from their homes.  In-person classes and social events will also be returning, as we continue to provide virtual offerings.  Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M. as Rev. Mike completes our May theme, “A Nurturing Foundation,” with his inspiring talk, “Taking a Leap.”  Just click on the “Watch Live” button on www.cslphilly.org  You may also view previous Celebrations and Living Room talks from Rev.

The ache for home lives in all of us.  The safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned. ~ Maya Angelou

Although it is not a physical place, “Home” calls to our hearts for a continual return to comfort, familiarity, welcome, and serenity.  It is the consciousness of constant abiding in the very Heart of God Itself, and it is available to every sentient being.  As we desire this sweet peace and loving embrace, so we would have everyone experience such a wonderful sense of belonging and wellbeing. At the same time, there is a natural desire within all to venture into the world, exploring, experiencing, expanding, then returning to our divine dwelling.

As we become more aware of being “citizens of the world,” feeling we belong wherever we are, we also realize that we may find various “houses” into which we take our “home.” We live and move and have our being in the divine dwelling that is beyond physical measurement, forever embraced in Love and guided by Wisdom.  As we allow ourselves to be nurtured and cared for by a Presence great than we are, yet right where we are, we know our foundation is strong, and this is where we truly belong.

Our delightful “Re-Opening Team” has been working diligently to determine the right time for our coming together again at “Sweet 16,” and you will be receiving word very soon about our plan to meet again in person, while continuing our Sunday morning live stream Celebration. Our spiritual Home has continued to be a real entity in the virtual world these many months, and we are now planning carefully to return to our beautiful facility. For those who prefer to watch from their homes, and for our friends out of the area, we will continue to provide the means to be with us on Sundays and for classes and special events.  Join us this Sunday at 10:30 A.M. as we discuss, “Come On Home,” by clicking on the “Watch Live” button on www.cslphilly.org  You may also view previous Celebrations and Living Room talks from Rev. Mike and me , or just to scroll through our informative website.
