April 02, 2017 The Power of Transformational Giving
Guest speaker Neil Williams describes how fulfilling it is to think about what
would be most meaningful as a remembrance of our lives---how a gift from our
estate can support our individual values and passions.
Our conscious participation in all our giving lifts our spirits, feeds our
souls, and makes us happier and healthier people. When we leave a charitable
gift in our will, we leave an expression of our spiritual nature, a natural
extension of our place in our community.
"Life is an eternal givingness, the offering of the cosmic self to the joy of
its own fulfillment. We are a part of this joy and we find fulfillment only as
this joy passes through us to others... Everything moves in circles. We short-
circuit our own good when we refuse to pass it on." -- Ernest Holmes

March 26, 2017 We are Always Being Guided
We are always being guided. Even when it doesn't feel like it. The world is
our classroom and other people are our assignments.
When we recognize our problem, condition, or error-belief, we can give it a
name. This is the spiritual practice of labelling or noting. It can distance
us from the experience. It can release it from being part of our false
identity. It gives the mind something to do. It helps us to recognize our
patterns. Eventually the experience being noted disappears.
If we look at the thing we are afraid of until we really understand it, it
will no longer have any element of fear for us. -- Dr. Ernest Holmes
Feel the feelings that live beneath the old pain. Call on compassion to clear
the path.
The way to get rid of fear is through the cultivation of faith---a faith
founded on the thought that God is all there is. -- Dr. Ernest Holmes

March 19, 2017 We are the Dreamer that Dreams the Dream
We are responsible for what we see, because perspective is everything. Things
are not what they are; they are what we think they are.
We are not responsible for what our eyes are seeing. We are responsible for
how we perceive what they are seeing.
The circumstances of our lives have less to do with our happiness than the
sense of control we feel over our lives. How we frame the circumstances of our
lives is so important.
It is the simple, small things that can change everything. To have a radical
shift in perception, it can be as simple as perceiving our job with more
gratitude. More gratitude, more love. A small change can change us forever.
Divine Abundance is forever manifesting in our affairs. Today, we expect every
good thing to come to us. For we know that Divine Abundance is forever
manifesting Itself in our affairs. We are keeping our whole mind and thought
and expectation open to new experiences, to happier events, to a more complete
self-expression. Everything that belongs to Spirit we accept. Everything that
partakes of the nature of Divine Reality we claim as our own. We identify with
success, and we prosper in everything we do.
We can ask for guidance. What is ours to know here? _Insist_ on the quality of
the guidance that is available to us. We can insist on the highest alignment
with the greatest good for the best possible outcome.
The Holy Instant is that moment when we surrender our fear to the care of the
Universe and accept Its perspective of love. It is an act of faith, that we
are not alone.
We are not alone. We are Sons and Daughters of the Universe.

March 12, 2017 We are the Miracle
Knowledge is power and self-knowledge is self-empowerment. But as Dr. Joe
Dispenza says, "If we use our brain to change our brain, it will only make our
brain worse." We must open ourselves to pure consciousness to let go of
resistance and make a profound change to our lives.
Make time to connect to the Divine, to surrender to the Great Unknown, and to
foster the feeling-tone of gratitude.

March 05, 2017 Who Are We?
In today's talk, [lifestyle meditation teacher Mandy
Trapp](https://lifestylemeditation.com/team-member/mandy-trapp) seeks to
answer the question, "Who are we?"
Drawing from the teachings of Adi Shankara, an 8th Century teacher in India,
Mandy presents his "Layers of Life" as a way of knowing ourselves in a
different way. The Layers of Life represent us as three bodies, each composed
of three parts. The three bodies are the Physical Body, the Subtle Body, and
the Causal Body.
* The Physical Body (environment, body, energy)
* The Subtle Body (mind, intellect, ego)
* The Causal Body (personal soul, collective soul, universal)
Why did we come here? Why did our soul choose to come as us? We came to re-
member---to create and have experiences, and to remember Who we belong to.
Ultimately, we only have two desires at the soul level: to be happy and to be
free.

February 26, 2017 Right Here, Right Now, Right Where I Am, I Pray
We tend to look at prayer as an isolated activity---a tool, a quick fix, or an
emergency manoeuvre. We think it's something we do one time and it's done. But
that's not how life works. Whether we realize it or not, we are praying
continually. Every thought is a prayer, and our thoughts are shaped by our
beliefs. We all have beliefs, and what we believe about our lives is what
keeps showing up. Our beliefs can add to our life, or limit it. They narrow,
guide, expand, limit, and eliminate the happiness in our lives.
When we use affirmative prayer, we want to pray using words that the Universe
can say a resounding _YES_ to! Ernest Holmes said, "Feel the prayer. What does
conviction about what you are praying for feel like? Faith has a feeling tone.
Abundance has a feeling tone. Love has a feeling tone. Feel your prayer. Keep
feeling it after the prayer is spoken. Be your prayer. Feel it."

February 19, 2017 A Victorious Attitude, Our Soul's True Nature, and the Proof
Michael Beckwith said, "We are on the planet to be and express the Divine Love
of God, that is alive in every fibre of our being, waiting to be released
through us onto our world; living as love is a way of life that brings heaven
on Earth."
A Victorious Attitude: To recognize the unlimited power of God brings victory
to the soul. All problems begin and end with our own consciousness. We are as
miserable or as creative and free as we decide to be. We begin to solve our
problems at the point of origin when we are awake in our consciousness.
The Soul's True Nature is Love Awakening: We must welcome our soul to have
more love and truth in our lives. We can delay our soul's evolution and
emergence but we will never escape its call. Every mind is on a soul's
journey.
The Proof is in the Doing: When we apply the principles in our lives---adding
in moments of meditation throughout our day, adding mindfulness---we know we
are really making a difference and change is possible.

February 12, 2017 Seeing with the Eyes of Love
This week, Dr. Patrick introduces Martin Luther King's idea of the Beloved
Community, and what that means.
"Jesus had finished the greatest experiment with life that any man ever made.
There were no longer any doubts or questions, no longer any 'ifs', 'ands', or
'buts'. He implied, 'This is the way it is, now go and prove it.' We are on an
adventure of self-discovery through faith. The Infinite Intelligence can only
respond to what we give It. And we are learning the greatest lesson in life,
that man and woman do not live by bread alone, but by a Subtle Power which
flows through everything, a Divine Presence which encompasses everything." --
Dr. Ernest Holmes.
Our goal is to create a beloved community, and this will require a qualitative
change in our souls and a quantitative change in our lives. Our opportunity is
to clear away the obstructions that keep us from living in unity.
The first step in the quantitative change is self-acceptance. It is knowing
that we are enough, that we are loved beyond measure.

February 05, 2017 We are the Spark of Life and Love
The soul is like a wild animal. It is very shy. It is not called into our life
or our experience with loud noise. It is typically found in the quiet, in the
depth of the forest where it lives. All it needs is a welcome, an invitation.
We have fallen asleep in the world of materialism. Without the soul's
participation, we continue to want more and more. "The world is beginning to
realize it has learned all it can and should through suffering and pain," says
Dr. Ernest Holmes. "We are the drop of God in the ocean of God."
Self-love is so important---it helps us work from the higher realm. We deserve
to be our own friend! Let us take a little time to love and appreciate
ourselves.
"Love is within us. It cannot be destroyed. It _can_ be ignored. To the extent
that we abandon love we will feel it has abandoned us. Denying love is our
only problem and embracing it is the only answer. Through the power of love we
can let go of past history and begin again. Love heals, forgives, and makes
whole." -- Dr. Ernest Holmes

January 29, 2017 Stopping, Being, Listening
Resolutions are the sign that we are ready to live our lives in a new way. The
world commonly believes that _thinking, planning, and doing_ are very
important. And they certainly are important for getting things done in a
linear way. But a better idea for connecting with ourselves and our joy is
_stopping, being, and listening_. This leads to insight, clarity, and
inspiration.
The first law of Love is to listen. If we ever go to that place of stillness,
out of it everything comes. The uncreated creativity, the creative possibility
of the individual out of the uncreated, the voice that is not spoken yet is
ready to articulate.
We are given a new name written on a white stone. A new name. A new nature. We
are free. Nothing is holding us back from our good. As we receive this new
name, we may ask ourselves these questions: What is ours to do? What have we
come here, at this point in time, to be? What is the quality we are here to
express more of?
