Love Casts Out All Fear
2/17/2019
The three things that people are most afraid of are death, other people, and their own minds.
The Buddha said this, "All we are is the result of what we have thought. It is founded on our thought. It is made up of our thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage.

How to Use It
1/27/2019
Ernest Holmes wrote that in the New Thought movement "we are likely to indulge in too much theory and too little practice."

What It Does
1/20/2019
Ernest Holmes wrote, "We can know God only in so far as we can become God."
We must practice these things as we work towards waking up our consciousness.
"It is necessary that we release all thoughts---as well as things---that clutter up our lives."
"I am looking at the face of God. You are beautiful. I support you in releasing and dissolving and eradicating whatever it is that you know is no longer required. You've got this. I celebrate your freedom and giving birth to the infinite...

The Way It Works

Divine Power is the energetic field of unconditional love and infinite possibility. When we move into that field, that's where instantaneous healing takes place.
It is never too late. We are never too old. We are never too young. We are never deficient in any way, shape, or form. This is the only moment. We are in this incubator of unconditional love and possibility.
This Presence is immersed in us.
Divine Energy is unceasingly seeking an outlet. There is a Universal Mind, a Spirit, an...

Going Beyond Our Story

Transnarrative cognition is understanding and going beyond our story.
Dr. Patrick looks at "Green", the final meme in the first tier of Spiral Dynamics, which represents community.
Remember that your perception of the world is a reflection of your state of consciousness. You are not separate from it, and there is no objective world out there. Every moment, your consciousness creates the world that you inhabit. -- Eckhart Tolle

Making Friends with Conflict
10/28/2018
Conflict happens in every area of life. Using Dr. Gary Simmons' book The I of the Storm, we can learn what is conflict, why embrace it, and how can we stand in the eye of the storm.
We need to understand that change and movement are the heartbeat of the universe... the field of creation. Change is never ending and follows universal, predictable rules. All events have their origin in opposite, complementary forces, like yin and yang. This is our curriculum. This is how we evolve.

The Life of Diamonds
10/21/2018
The Centre is undergoing a transformation from a minister-centric community to a ministry-centric community. This is guided by the Genogram activity and our community's Shadow Card and Q Card. The Shadow Card is when we are acting outside of our integrity. The Q Card is the diamond that we are being called and shaped into.
Visionary Tama Kieves says it this way, "I hate transitions. But I am black coal, and this compression is turning me into a diamond. And as much as I want to conform and...

Gratitude and Thanksgiving
10/7/2018
No one is against us, even our own lives.
Our lives become predictable because attention and awareness continually re-frame the present moment to the context of past influences. These are our patterns. Consciousness is poured into the creative framework of attention and awareness to set in motion the forces that organize the manifest universe. If consciousness is in bondage to the past, or if attention is mesmerized according to ingrained patterns of awareness, the future is simply an...
