Rev Karin Willmer is our guest speaker this week, and she introduces this month's theme of "Practice Makes Imperfect" with her talk title of "Leaning into Imperfection". 

This month we bring our focus to our beliefs about perfection, not bringing our attention to imperfection.

Discover the liberating truth about perfectionism and its impact on your personal and spiritual growth. Join us this week as we explore the transformative power of embracing imperfections as divinely perfect, and unlock a path towards self-acceptance, freedom, and authentic living.

This Sunday, instead of our usual talk, you get to ask Rev. Savanna and Rev. Tamara questions. 

Whether you want to know more about our teaching or looking for ways to enhance your spiritual practice, the Revs. are ready to answer your questions! 

We can choose to live large or small, and our experience reflects that choice. Today, we have the opportunity to make any necessary adjustments to achieve a different outcome in life.

The only thing holding us back is ourselves and possible perceptions of obstacles.

A sacred knowing is deep within us that always supports and guides us. Combined with courage, tenacity, and keen inner listening, this innate knowing will deliver us from and through anything. As we partner with Spirit, all things are truly possible, especially the seemingly impossible.

THREE WAYS TO GIVE TO CSL WHITE ROCK:

By aligning our values and intentions with our activity in the world, we become catalysts for positive change within our community. This prompts us to ask the introspective question: "Who are we when no one else is looking?" It calls us to live in alignment with our truest selves, even in the presence of challenge or the absence of external validation. When we begin to commit to the path of evolution, transformation and self-actualization, it creates a powerful collective force that cultivates authenticity and propels positive transformation in the world, thus moving us collectively from from Good to Great to Grand.

Our teaching is to assist each of us to go up our own stairs, finding out  who we are….step by step.  Often we get the idea, then the vocabulary of a new way of being.  Then  we learn techniques to live the life we want and then it’s practice, practice, practice until we stand firmly on that new step, confident & calm. This months topic is moving from Good to Great to Grand, taking the steps to know ourselves.

We will explore our own core values and how to live from them more fully. Learning to live from our values is a transformative journey of self-discovery and alignment. By consciously directing our energies toward pursuits that resonate with our values, we create a life that aligns with who we are.

This week, we will explore how observation, curiosity, and discovery are essential elements to self-actualization. This will become the starting point of our movement from Good to Great to Grand. By actively observing our own inner landscape, we gain greater insight and awareness into our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. Curiosity fuels our desire to explore and ask questions, which leads us to discover and uncover new aspects of ourselves.

We are probably living in the most decisive time in human history—or at least it feels that way. We are inundated with media bias and more polarized opinions than ever before. And yet, love is fundamental to the Science of Mind. 

Love is the very essence of gentleness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How do we look at the world around us and the future of humanity with gentleness?   How do we rise in gentleness in nature and a universal community?  We use the same tools as in our own lives.  We use the Principles of Science of Mind.  We celebrate the wins.  We don’t deny the struggles and pain, but we remember who we are (individually and spiritually).

We are reflections of each other. As we cultivate gentleness for ourselves, we begin to recognize Love expressing Itself as the others in our lives. This week the title is The Other in Love.
