Ernest Holmes’ words at the very beginning of the “textbook,” The Science of Mind, are: These lessons are dedicated to that Truth which frees man from himself and sets him on the pathway of a new experience, which enables him to see through the mist to the Eternal and Changeless Reality.
As we enter this new year, I am encouraged by those conscious, curious, caring people who are resolute in standing in Eternal Truth, despite external appearances. As we focus on Oneness in the face of divisiveness, Love in the presence of hate, Plenty instead of deprivation, and Peace where conflict occurs, we empower ourselves and others to see through the mist of misinformation and misconduct to the constant Presence of God.
This is the time of year when many of us in Centers for Spiritual Living focus on the basic teachings of Science of Mind, discussing the first four introductory chapters in Dr. Holmes’ inspirational writings in what we have fondly come to know as our “textbook.” In our Beloved Community, we are focusing on “A Whole New World” in 2024, and our January theme is, “An Auspicious, New Beginning.” Each Sunday, we expect to bring to life each of the four chapters, and we encourage you to read the one for each Sunday in advance and to review it during the week.
It is in the deepening of our connection to Source, the development of understanding of the Law, and the wise utilization of these Divine Principles that we attain True Freedom. There is a Whole New World to be discovered within each of us, and our individual discovery and empowerment inspires others to enter deeply into Spirit and to live in Harmony and Freedom. Let’s walk together into amazing, new opportunities this year. This Sunday, January 7th, the focus will be on Introductory Chapter One, “The Thing Itself,” and my talk will be, “All There is Is God; God is All There Is.” You may join us in person at the Inspiration Café in Paoli, Pennsylvania by registering online by clicking here or going to www.cslphilly.org or joining us on the same website for the live streaming at 10:30 A.M.
We celebrated the addition of our new Practitioner, Dawn Finlayson, last Sunday, and she and all our other wonderful members of the God Squad are listed on the Practitioner Page of our website, all ready and willing to help you raise your consciousness to new beginnings by using our spiritual tools, especially Spiritual Mind Treatment, to set your feet “on the pathway of a new experience.”
With great love and respect,
Dr. Maxine
