Science of Mind Spiritual Center Los Angeles

Loving greetings and welcome to September’s Sunday services when we will dive deeply into this month’s theme, “Living from a Heart of Happiness.” As the Dali Lama wisely reminds us, “Happiness is determined more by one’s state of mind than by external events.” Together, we will expand our inner understanding that happiness is not an outer achievement but rather an organic expression of our True Nature.

The September 1, 2024 topic is You’re Already Pre-Qualified! It is our birthright to feel and express the inherent happiness Spirit has implanted in our Essential Self. This spiritual nourishment is received through the receptivity of our own consciousness, our own heart. Join me today as together we touch the sweet spot of happiness that lives, moves, and radiates through our intimate connection with pure Spirit.

What a perfect time to remind ourselves that Spirit’s Grace is our ever-present, all-encompassing source of compassion, encouragement, our refuge and our strength. This is the time to balance the outer world with the joy of inner communion with Spirit through the power of prayer, meditation, and through connection with our spiritual community. My intention is that we will join together for this purpose throughout the month of August when our theme is: “Laughter: Spirit’s Medicine of Grace.”

The August 25, 2024 topic is Laugh the Laugh of Buddha. Today, I invite you to join me in the conviction that when we fully awaken to our True Nature there will erupt from our deepest core a cosmic laugh so genuine it will be a form of prayer, the most beautiful prayer we have ever prayed. Together let us join in the chorus of laughter with Jesus, Buddha–all those who have merged in Oneness with the Source of all Existence.

The August 18, 2024 topic is Turning Ourselves Outside In. Spiritual revolutionaries are committed to turning from without to within, to stepping out of the trance of distractions, escapes, habitual thought patterns into the inner realm of consciousness through contemplative prayer, meditation, spiritual study, coming together with like-minded beings and together experiencing God’s sense of humor implanted in their spirits. Are you ready?

The August 11, 2024 topic is Reconnecting to Wholeness One Laugh at a Time. We’ve all experienced those times when we feel a disconnect from our innate Wholeness. Let us today–in joyous celebration and laughter–share the collective knowing that we can no more separate ourselves from our oneness with Spirit than we can remove our breath from our body or our inherent sense of humor from our beautiful humanness.

The August 4, 2024 topic is Life’s Challenges: Stumbling Blocks or Stepping Stones? When we come face-to-face with life’s challenges, we have the choice to resist or welcome them. Today we will examine how our spiritual practices gift us with the willingness to welcome the unwelcome, to skillfully work with our challenges with self-compassion and a sense of humor, thus shifting them from stumbling blocks into stepping stones on our ever-evolving path of opportunities.

Loving greetings and may you and your loved ones enjoy the upcoming 4th of July celebrations. As we look at the outer freedom Independence Day commemorates, I invite us to also dive deeper into the inner meaning of freedom as we explore July’s theme: “Our Birthright of Freedom.” As Ernest Holmes wisely reminds us, “Whenever we are conscious of God, or pure Spirt, we are made free.” Join us each week as together we support one another in authentically and joyously living from our innate soul-freedom.

The July 28, 2024 topic is Accepting Freedom’s Invitation. Freedom provides a clarity of consciousness that dissolves our self-created boundaries and limitations that bind us to our cherished opinions, preferences, projections onto ourselves, others, and the world at large. Are you courageous enough to accept the invitation and the surprising directions that will appear on your path if you do?

The July 21, 2024 topic is Spiritual Freedom Is Calling You. Your life is happening in this very moment with the full support of Spirit and its universal laws. Once we trust that there is no separation between ourselves and Spirit, we live with a new vitality, we move from being fear-driven to being faith-driven. At last we hear the call of our soul to embrace our intimate oneness with Spirit.

The July 14, 2024 topic is How Free Are You? Once we embody that freedom is our true nature, the next step to living this truth is to gently and objectively discern where we still hold ourselves hostage in habitual thought patterns and actions that do not nurture our inner soul-freedom. If you’re ready to freely soar into the vast, infiniteness of your being, join us today!

The July 7, 2024 topic is Freedom: Your Divine Birthright. Our inner spiritual journey directs us back to our original state of being: Freedom. Each of us has not only all that we need to find ourselves, but also to free ourselves from all forms of false belief such as lack, limitation, any sense of not-enoughness. Today we will learn how the Science of Mind teachings expand our understanding of our cherished birthright of innate freedom.

Loving greetings to you all, and happy Father’s Day to those of you who are a blessing in the lives of those whom you father, and those who have fathered you.

As you will see from our weekly topics, each is based on a timeless teaching from the Bible that is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago. Our founder Ernest Holmes referred to the Bible as “The Grand Old Book,” saying this of it: “We shall approach our study [of the Bible] with the idea in mind that we are working out a philosophy of life which deals with man’s relationship to Spirit.” And that’s exactly what we will be doing throughout June, whose theme is “The Wisdom of the Grand Old Book.”

The June 30, 2024 topic is Psalm 91, A Lifetime Guarantee that Can’t Be Beat! Living, moving and having our being “in the place of the Most High” describes a life of abiding in Spirit and its ever-present protection. Protection from what? From false belief in lack, limitation, fear, the “pestilence” that can overtake our minds through the media and societal conditioning. Living in a consciousness of One Power and Presence shields, guards and guides us in all aspects of our lives.
