  • EBUP58: How to Defuse Anger
    Eric writes, "One of the major evidences of the lack of emotional management is anger, and we want to talk a little bit about it today. Sometimes a subtle, slow-burning rage seethes within, unrecognized, unaccepted. And yet present and doing tremendous harm to all the facets of our lives." He then lists seven ways to defuse anger. This is a wonderful talk.

  • EBUP57: How God Sees You.
    When you try to understand God, it’s like a fish trying to understand water. I would say, What is the one thing a fish can never find? Water. What’s the one thing a man can never find? God. There’s no way that you can find God, because God is not lost. Many a person spends most of their lives looking for God, trying to reach God, trying to find God. The problem with understanding God is that in a three-dimensional perspective we’re trying to relate to something that is fourth dimensional in nature. You would invariably form a relative image of an absolute principal in process. So actually we create our God in our image like-ness.

  • EBUP56: A Plan for Your Entirement

    Because retirement is normally a compromise, a partial experience in life. Most often, something very vital is left out, leaving only frustration and hopelessness. Unless it deals with the whole person, retirement becomes a negative experience.

    So we’re suggesting a creative alternative. The word is “entirement”, entirement. It deals with the whole self, living and alive, in a whole universe. It is turning from the partial experience to the whole of life. So instead of going into retirement, go into entirement, into the next step of growth, which will have meaning and fulfillment.

  • EBUP55: A Secret Talisman
    There’s a legend of an eastern monarch who plagued by worries and harassed at every turn called his counselors and wise men together. He asked them to formulate for him a motto, a few magic words that would help him in times of distress. It must be brief enough to be engraved on a signet ring so that he could always have it before his eyes. It must be appropriate for every situation because youth spent in prosperity is in adversity. It must be a motto wise and true and endlessly enduring. Words by which a person could be guided all his life. Who wouldn’t want such a talisman?

  • EBUP53: The Drift of the Tide
    Every moment of your life, you’re at a point of decision. The crossroads of personal choice. You may be asking, “Which way should I go? What shall I buy or sell? Should I take that job I’ve been offered or remain where I am? Should I take the road less traveled or follow the multitudes in what is being done?” … Life for such folks could be best be described as, drifting with the tide.

  • EBUP52: The David-Goliath Syndrome
    We’re going to deal with one story of the Bible today. Seeking to get a metaphysical, personally symbolic interpretation of the story of David and Goliath. This is one of the most well-known stories, to all persons. Even those who have little truck with Bible teachings.

  • EBUP51: The Courage To Be You
    Fundamental to getting to know who you are, to getting to know the power within you, know that it’s not something extraneous to you. The power within you is God at the point of you. It’s hard to see this when we think of God as the person upstairs, or the great manlike figure on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, bearded, muscular creature reaching down touching the hand of the man. It’s hard to see the truth in this context, you have to be willing to let go of this limited God. “Destroy the God of our intellect,” as Emerson says, “and experience the presence of God.” The power within you is the activity of God. It’s the primal power of being, and to discover this power is your birthright. You’re never really coming to understand yourself or life until you discover this tremendous depth within you, which is the presence of God acting as you.

  • EBUP50: The Gospel Truth -3- An End to Dogma Eat Dogma

    If you’re filling out an information form of some kind, and it asks you, what is your religion, what do you answer? You would put down Catholic, or Protestant, or Jew, or you may be more specific, and you may say Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, even Unity, but what does this mean? Can you define your religion? Could you tell the difference between your church, and the one across the street? It is doubtful if many persons could except that perhaps you believe in baptism by dunking, and they believe it by sprinkling.

    For many persons, religion is inherited by family tradition. I was a Methodist born, and a Methodist bred, and when I die I’ll be a Methodist dead. Often when we hear the expression, “I’ve gotten religion.” What is meant by that? Does it mean that the person has developed a new feeling toward life, or as is more likely that he subscribed to a particular collection of church dogma?
