Portland Center for Spiritual Living Podcast

We live life’s performance on the center stage. We get to decide if we live fully out loud or hide our light. We are each blessed with a bright light, so why not radiate our special brilliance at its fullest?

Have you ever noticed that you could see the stars most clearly in a very dark sky? When we experience the shadows – times of hardship, grief, challenge – it sometimes seems that the Light has vanished. And yet, it is almost always at this time that huge breakthroughs occur and the Light shines more brightly than ever. Our lives are a dance through times of shadow and of Light. Let’s make it a waltz!

Humans have a tendency to fear the unknown and that which we don’t understand. However, darkness is the fertile space of creation, creativity, and the womb. The darkness gives birth to the light.

Most of us were raised to believe in a particular person or idea. We were taught to say, “I believe in Jesus,” or “I believe in Science,” or “I believe there is no god,” or whatever our family, teachers, and elders told us was true. But our lives haven’t always demonstrated what we were taught to say. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller draws on the Science of Mind teachers to explore why that is so and how we can discover what our real beliefs are–and how to change them.

Authentic vulnerability becomes the gateway to power and possibility. It calls us to be who we are and creates the space for others to do the same as we all move through the exciting adventure of transformation. That’s when we intentionally step into the power and possibility that being authentic and open brings.

Renewal of our Earth home – Renewal of body, of soul, of Spirit – Renewal of Faith – Renewal of belongingness – Renewed sight, as in seeing things anew or having New Thought

Possessions are wonderful and a blessing. But our greatest gift is the awareness of our eternal Oneness and infinite possibility.

As we mature, we become aware of more and more layers and dimensions of who we are. And, if we’re paying attention, an amazing thing happens: we begin to understand the patterns and the people who have shaped our lives in the past. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller will share a process for releasing these patterns and the energy around those people–and how the world becomes more peaceful as we go through it.
