In the stillness and surrender is time to pause, peruse, and plan the next descent and ascent moving from good to greater good as we take in what we have become through this year of growth. A critical step in every journey of Spiritual Growth and adventure is pausing at the plateau to assimilate and integrate our experiences before finding “what’s next.” This quiet space is the time for deepening in the experience with the confident expectation of the revelation of God for what is next. 

Week’s Affirmation: I sit in joyful expectation of the revelation of God.

Surrender is an active verb and requires a conscious choice to move from control into relaxing into the Order of the Divine. We surrender into order, not into chaos. Surrendering further, we let go of all sense of separation and enter a state of conscious union with one another and the Divine. 

Week’s Affirmation: I lay all burdens on the altar of Divine Love.

Recognizing that we are living an ordinary mystical journey, we cultivate a deeper gratitude for that which is seen and unseen, heard and unheard along our path of becoming.

We appreciate, celebrate, and demonstrate the growth within as we arrive and move forward along the sacred continuum.

We take another sacred pause to appreciate the beauty, grace and feeling tone of the presence of Spirit within. We recognize that each point along this journey has brought us to this moment of spiritual growth and place of awakened grace.

Living from a higher consciousness, we reflect on the  timeless wisdom of the journey recognizing that this moment is not the final destination of our spiritual evolution. We breathe in appreciating the expansiveness of our growth and development along the way.

Whatever you have left, bring it! As we approach a fuller expression of our Greater Good, what tools, resources, and truths are available to you? What is inside you, inviting you to the higher and more loving experience of life? As the journey of the year nears its peak and end, what did you lean on? What truths bolster you?

 Ubuntu is a part of Zulu life philosophy meaning “I am because we are.” In community, we embody a gestalt of consciousness— a whole that is greater than the mere sum of its parts—and each individual is uplifted because of the support of the group.

We are uniquely situated to foster a global community and a world that works for everyone, by sharing all the truths of our teaching that we already  rely upon. In our individual lives, Centers, communities, and world we embody purpose, intension,  and oneness.  Where can we invite others along for the journey in a way that is radically welcoming, loving, and inclusive?

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr spoke often of the “Beloved Community,” a world in which all people share the wealth of the earth and violations of human decency are not tolerated. We see the future and our current station as an embodiment of this realization for all.
