We speak into our words the intelligence which we are and, backed by that greater Intelligence of the Universal Mind, our word becomes a law unto the thing for which it is spoken. Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 304

We have established in our awareness the Presence and Power of Divine Life and Its expression in, through, and as each one of us.  Now, we realize the necessity of using the Power for Good . . . for great good!  It is in affirming Truth in each external condition and transforming inner emotional conflicts and erroneous mental barriers that we finally become those pure instruments of Divine Activity. How wonderful it is to realize that the Infinite Intelligence of this universe is forever active within us and ready to take the form to which we set our intention.

Having become aware of inequality in our human world, injustices that must be addressed, and harm that we now can heal, we set our intentions, individually and collectively, to speak for equality, compassion, fairness, and wholeness. We choose to  alter all previous misuse of the Law of Mind is  into a healthy, clear, constructive, new direction. Together, we are a dynamic force for Good, ready to walk through all circumstances with the realization that this is an intelligent use of Intelligence,  that we are the change agents, and that Love is the greatest Power in the universe.

Tonight, we continue the four-week Discovery Class on Zoom, connecting heart-to-heart with curious, interested and interesting people who are taking a deeper dive into New Thought history, basic Principles of Science of Mind, and their effective application.  There is no charge for this course, and love offerings are always welcome.  If you contact Linda O’Neill at admin@cslphilly.com  RIGHT AWAY, you may still be able to receive the bountiful handout and print it out for tonight. We meet from 6:30 – 8:30 P.M. and provide opportunities to connect with each other and to ask questions.  If you choose to join us, it should be simple to catch up.

You may join our live streaming Sunday Celebrations each week on You Tube and Facebook, both accessed through our website, www.cslphilly.org. Our theme for August is: “Walking Each Other Home in Five Steps,” and this Sunday’s topic is, “Setting Conscious Intentions.” Please mark your calendar for Wednesday, August 19^th to participate in our third loving and powerful shared discussion with Center of Peace in Philadelphia and CSL Delaware.  We have been addressing ways to come together with conscious love and respect to deepen our understanding of one another and to bring a greater idea of True Community into a World That Works for All.

Our Practitioners are always ready to assist you with any challenges or “growth opportunities.” They are listed on the website, along with archived Sunday Celebrations and Love Notes from Rev. Mike and me. Thank you for keeping your Beloved Community strong with your prayers and financial support. You make a difference!

With great love and respect,

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer.  ~ Albert Camus

Personal and global challenges are possibly greater than most of us have ever encountered, and yet we find a deep Source of Life that supports us and invites us to carry on.  Finding our inner strength and extending it to others is the wisest and most compassionate path we can take, and we find our own capabilities growing as we do.  There truly is a Power greater than we are, a Power for Good that we can use, and it is available to everyone alike.  Those who are practiced in spiritual connection and identification are called to bring their gifts of faith, caring, and steadfastness to help lift those who may be feeling lost, struggling with uncertainty, and not yet aware of their divine connection to Wisdom and Love.

We all long for freedom to live our lives fully, and every sentient being is completely deserving of the fullness of abundance in every area: wellbeing, compassion, love, respect, and creative opportunities.  We are all connected to our Source and to one another, so we must thrive personally and find ways to lift each other to real possibilities.  Truly, we are all on a path of spiritual evolution, and, although the roads may differ, we can respect and support everyone along the way, even sit down occasionally and share a meal, literally or figuratively. The more deeply we dive into the Loving, Creative, Intelligent Source within us, the greater our sense of True Power becomes and the more willing we are to share it.

Please contact Linda O’Neill at admin@cslphilly.com if you can join us tomorrow evening at 6:30 P.M. on a Zoom meeting with GPCSL, Center of Peace in Philadelphia, and CSL Delaware in open-hearted discussions on dismantling racism, listening lovingly and respectfully to people of many colors, and working together to bring about a World That Works for All.  Our earlier meetings were warm, enlightening, and promising in so many ways. In these difficult times, we need deeper understanding and compassion to experience real freedom for ourselves and for everyone in the world.

Do invite your friends to our live stream Sunday Celebrations each week on You Tube and Facebook, both accessed through our website, www.cslphilly.org. The topic for this Sunday is, “The Great Emancipator.” Rev. Mike and I send “Love Notes” to you throughout the week, in order to stay in touch with you during this extended time of physical separation, and previous ones are archived on our website, along with past  morning live streams.  Our Practitioners are also standing by, ready to assist you with any challenges you may be experiencing, and they are listed on the website, as well. Thank you for keeping your Beloved Community strong with your prayers and your financial contributions.

With great love and respect,

Dr. Maxine

Generosity is the most natural outward expression of an inner attitude of compassion and loving-kindness.  When one desires to alleviate the suffering of others and to promote their well-being, then generosity —in action, word, and thought — is this desire put it into practice.  His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World, p. 149    

This quote clearly addresses “generosity of the heart,” which includes deep compassion and authentic forgiveness, for ourselves, as well as for others.  As we continue navigating smartly through the pandemic, caring well for ourselves, and being respectful of others, we seek to reach a deeper awareness of what is ours to do to bring about, rather than just “talk about” the kind of world we truly desire.  The same is true for our ever-increasing understanding of system racism, which must be addressed and transformed, as we strengthen our ties with one another in this pivotal period of real change for humanity. We can become more generous with our time and attention, as we encourage others to speak to us from their hearts, compassionate enough to be willing to hear with our hearts, holding each other tenderly in a divine embrace, as we move through our human challenges. We can also be open-minded, open-handed, and open-hearted with regard to our willingness to forgive . . . ourselves and others.

Knowing how the Law of Circulation works, we do not hesitate to give of our time, talent, and treasure to others and, especially, to the closest source of our spiritual food; namely, our spiritual centers which provide a radiant, healing, transformative Light to help us on the way to greater justice, love, and prosperity for all. Let’s give of ourselves fully to our teaching, our families and friends, our communities, and the world, as we delight in the flow of Good for every sentient being and experience growing abundance of every kind in our lives.

We so enjoy bringing our Sunday Celebrations to you via live stream each week on You Tube and Facebook, both accessed through our website, www.cslphilly.org. This week’s topic for Sunday is, “Freely Ye Have Received, Freely Give.” The “Love Notes” that Rev. Mike and I send to you throughout the week are just more opportunities to stay in touch with you during this extended time of physical separation, and previous ones are archived on our website, along with past  morning live streams.  You may also find a listing of our Practitioners, ready to assist you with any challenges you may be experiencing. Thank you for keeping your Beloved Community strong with your prayers and your financial contributions.

With great love and respect,
