September 30, 2012 The Subconscious and Your GPS
[Wayne Lee](http://www.waynelee.com/) leads a vibrant, fun overview and
demonstration of hypnosis. He explores how we often hypnotize ourselves with
our beliefs and the power of thought. Wayne tells us how we can program our
"GPS"---Goal-setting, Pretending, and Stress-managing system (our feelings).

September 23, 2012 Global Services
Today is Global Outreach Sunday, promoted by the team called [Global
Services](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Osruph2p0iA). It is a day about
honouring the nomads that move out into the world and touch lives.
It is an idea of taking our teaching outside the walls of the Centre through
service to humanity, through meeting individuals' physical, emotional, and
spiritual needs. Every life that we touch is part of the whole. Every light
that is transformed is a light in the world that transforms more lives.
Dennis Merritt Jones said it this way: "If we are willing to look deeply
enough into one another, we will be able to see what we have in common. In
short, we will remember to remember that there is only One of us here.
Contained with the wisdom of this awareness lies the potential for a lasting
peace in the world."

September 16, 2012 Making Pilgrimage
The labyrinth is a substitute for the pilgrimage. Both represent a journey
inward.
Always at the heart of pilgrimage is the question that forces us to leave
home, seek a retreat, or go on a vision quest. In a pilgrimage, we are calling
on God, crying out for a vision.
A vision may reveal a new vocation, a new name, or even our life purpose. The
answer may come in the form of a dream, a chance meeting, a surge of
inspiration, a voice in our head, or an overpowering emotion.
The point is to break with our everyday patterns, to move out of our
comfortable and familiar habits. We must be intent in searching for soul.
When we return from a pilgrimage, we can take this advice: "Know that your
vision will follow you back and must be incorporated into your life and the
lives of those you know. And the best way to communicate your experience to
others is not to talk about it but to live it."

September 09, 2012 Braving Conflict
Rev. Patrick discusses the call to face conflict through the stories of Martin
Luther King, Jr. and William Went, an Episcopalian minister. The latter was
"willing to accept the penalties in order to arouse the consciousness of the
community over its injustice."
Part of hearing the call to greatness in our lives is making ourselves ready
and receptive through our spiritual practices. Leonard Cohen said it this way:
"There's a crack in everything, and that's how the light gets in."
The spiritual masters teach us this:
* We are somehow the issue.
* The answer is within us.
* We need help from a higher power.
So let's keep waking up together.

September 02, 2012 Answering the Call
It is difficult to explain the amazing value that comes from the classes the
Centre offers. The classes help us to wake up---and shake things up.
As new things come along in our lives, we can ask: (1) Is this right for me?
(2) Am I willing to be led?
Although living a life of ease and grace is nice, that's not when we really
grow.

August 26, 2012 Love's Longing for Truth
Real Love is all about seeking and being focussed on the happiness of the
other person rather than what we can get. When we tell the truth, it becomes
the opening for love.
We are a community that nurtures, teaches, and fosters the transformation of
consciousness. "Transformed people tend to transform people." We need people
in our lives that stretch us and model the possibility for us.
In this way, we learn that spirituality is "caught" not taught.

August 19, 2012 The Longest Journey with the Sweetest Destination
The title of today's talk is "The Longest Journey with the Sweetest
Destination." The long journey is _to_ a profound realization, to see what our
beliefs really are, to learn where our resistance or false beliefs are. Every
feeling is a belief. When we have a negative feeling, we need to stay with it.
Negative feelings can lead us to the truth of what we believe---our own
internal life, the sum of the beliefs we have, even those that are false.
"We must be willing to look at a thing until it has no power over us." --
Ernest Holmes

August 12, 2012 The Great Law of Life
Most people have no insight or awareness about their experiences of life. They
don't even know that this is possible. We call this victim consciousness.
But our pathway is the journey to new insight into our experiences of life.
The Great Law of Life is this: _It is done unto us as we believe._ In other
words, we receive what we believe.
So what is a belief? It is a deeply suppressed emotional impulse that
expresses itself unconsciously through us in order to produce experiences in
our lives. It is who and what we are. But we are not stuck there. We can then
ask, what do we _want_ to believe?
Earthly karma is not always fair, but divine karma always balances it out.

August 05, 2012 Real Love
From the teachings of [Greg Baer](http://www.reallove.com/), Rev. Patrick
speaks about real love. When we tell the truth, we enter the portal to real
love. The truth is the pathway. Real love is the commitment to the happiness
of the other without expecting anything in return.
As we examine our pain from the past, we must realize that it was not our
fault. But it is our responsibility---and our opportunity---to heal it now.

July 29, 2012 Cultivating Wholeness
[James O'Dea writes](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-odea/new-entry-
qualifications-for-political-life_b_1604309.html) about the importance of
cultivating three qualities in our leaders and in ourselves: empathy, the
ability to have meaningful dialogue, and holistic thinking. Neurologists have
learned that a depressed person's brain patterns jump---become less depressed
---when simply in the presence of happy people.
We are connected at the head and at the heart---many branches of science have
even shown this to be true. When one person reaches out to another, we can
affect each other, without even saying anything. When we cultivate wholeness
in ourselves we cultivate it in others too.
