We are poised in a sense of peace, which comes from our complete faith in God as the light, power and inspiration of our life. There will be . . . no uneasiness or anxiety about any outcome, if we know — whether waking or sleeping — that every step of the way God goes with us. ~ ~ ~Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 247
Knowing there is One Intelligent, Creative Power, One Indivisible, Loving Presence and that each of us is a beautiful, unique, individualized expression of that One Life, we know we are also one with every sentient being. We also realize that we are all on a path of spiritual evolution, waking more and more each day to the divine possibilities that exist for everyone. As we walk our walk, individually and together with others, we truly begin waking to the spiritual truth of our being.
Rarely does a person attain “instantaneous illumination;” rather, it is a step-by-step process, all originating in an authentic awareness of the Power and the Presence that abides within each of us and all of us. We are “bound together and finely woven with Love,” opening our minds and hearts to each other from our deep awareness of the Oneness of Life and its multiple, magnificent expressions of Itself. In the coming month, we will explore Dr. Ernest Holmes’ approach to this divine development and learn to use these spiritual principles for personal and global transformation Keep in mind that even “baby steps” are a BIG DEAL to the baby, and we respect everyone’s time table and particular processes, just as we honor our own.
Consider joining me next Tuesday, August 4th on Zoom, for a four-week Discovery Class, in which we will connect heart-to-heart with curious, interested and interesting people who are ready for 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. Just contact Linda O’Neill at admin@cslphilly.com to receive the bountiful handout that you may print out on your own. You’ll want to keep it on your bookshelf for easy reference. We will meet from 6:30 – 8:30 P.M., and the time always goes very quickly. We always provide opportunities to connect with each other and for answering questions. You won’t want to miss any of the four; yet, you are welcome to join us for whatever portion you can.
Until the time arrives when we return to our sweet Center in Paoli, we will continue live streaming Sunday Celebrations each week on You Tube and Facebook, both accessed through our website, www.cslphilly.org. Even when that happy time comes, we intend to continue to send out our music and messages in this way, as we have found a larger viewing community these past few months who love being “with us” each week. The new theme for August is: “Walking Each Other Home in Five Steps,” and this Sunday’s topic is, “The Greatest Power and Presence.” Do look for the “Love Notes” Rev. Mike and I send to you throughout the week, filmed in our living room, as we love all the creative ways we may stay in touch with you. Previous ones are archived on our website, along with past Sunday 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
