In the past few weeks I have been ruminating about where we unconsciously think our idea of a power source, influence, or what we call God is located. It appears that a lot of us think that everything that affects me is “out there” somewhere. This means that anything that occurs in my life, good […]
Returning to our Natural State
We are a child of God. A direct descendant of the Source that created the Universe. As a child inherits all that the parent is, we must be divine in our nature, life and experiences. Jesus, our master teacher, expressed his divinity completely in our physical world showing us we each have that spark of […]
Allowing the Past to Stay in the Past
We are entering the season of Lent that is celebrated in traditional Christian churches. This is a time of fasting and abstinence in these organizations for the 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter. In Unity, we do not fast or give up material things, we observe Lent by letting go of the past and […]
God is Present in all Situations
Paul says in his second letter to Timothy (written from prison) “I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you…For God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and love and good discipline.” A wonderful reminder that we are expressing the Christ Self in all our […]
The Practical Application of Inner Ease
This leads me to a definition that implies a series of everyday, simple principles that are applied to my life that lead to a healthy, harmonious, abundant, and productive lifestyle that produces peace and love for myself and others. Our conversation today is focused on looking at the idea of Practical Christianity. This is the […]
We Spring Forth with a Mighty Zeal!
A favorite Fillmore affirmation of mine is “I spring forth with a mighty zeal to do those things that ought to be done by me”. This is appropriate as we enter the new year of 2018. A Course of Love gives us a direction for this new year when it says on page 278, “Forget […]
The Tools of Success
A Course of Love tells us, at the beginning of chapter nine, that the tools that assist us in releasing the ego mind and inviting the one mind or union into the present moment are: meditation; exercises of the body such as yoga; exercises of the mind such as affirmations and the things that surface […]
Knowing Who We Are
In the first lesson of Emilie Cady’s “Lessons in Truth”, paragraph 9 it says: “Each person must sooner or later learn to stand alone with their God; nothing else avails. Nothing else will ever make you master of your own destiny”. A definition for master is: a skilled practitioner of an art or activity. So, […]
What is our Life’s Path?
Evidently our path in life is the outcome of the vibrational influences that we take into our consciousness along the way in life. It appears that many of these influences occur at a young age before we are able to discern their impact on how our life unfolds. We are then stuck with these beliefs […]
I Begin This Day with Love in My Heart.
Research is being done by the Heart Math Institute showing powerful energies generated by the heart when it is in coherence. There is obviously a shift in our movement from relying on the mind and its intellectual capacity to learn and figure things out to the inner knowing that is available to us from the […]
