May 13, 2012 Wise Choices - How Do I Know?
We celebrate Mothers---and all family ties---and how we sometimes must leave
home and go on a pilgrimage, to find our real and larger home.
"So much unnecessary suffering comes into the world because so many people
will not accept the legitimate suffering that comes from being human." -- Carl
Jung
So yes, it can feel like suffering sometimes, to feel disconnected to Spirit,
or to have to wait for results that we want so badly. That is what it is to be
human, but if we can tune in to our intuition, we can know that our true
identity is eternal.
"The surrendering of our false self which we have usually taken for our
absolute identity yet is merely a relative identity is the necessary suffering
needed to find the pearl of great price that is always hidden inside this
lovely but passing shell." -- Richard Rohr

May 06, 2012 How to Live in the Mystery of Life and Love It
Dr. Dennis Merritt Jones leads us on a journey of self-contemplation and self-
inquiry.
We came from the ethers of the great unknown, from the formless. Yet our life
itself is no less a mystery than our origin. There's no place in our lives
where uncertainty does not exist. We have the opportunity to become
_conscious_ in the mystery in our lives. This changes the dynamics of it. We
do this by changing our _perception_.
Three questions for self-inquiry:
1. What role does fear play in keeping me stuck on the edge?
2. What do I need to let go of?
3. Do I take time daily to contemplate the miracle of the mystery of the gift that is already given to me?

April 29, 2012 Dying to Be Me: Healing is Only the Beginning
The Persian poet Hafez wrote, "Come rest your head upon my lap, because the
work in separation is the most exhausting thing you do." Separation is saying,
"I'm not enough, there's not enough, the world is a scary place, fear, fear,
fear, fear." Living in fear is living in separation.
But we are here to live our lives in Joy. We choose to come and we are chosen
to come. There is no one greater than us. Our purpose is to be ourselves, our
pure selves. We are here as co-creators with God. Let us do the work of
letting go and allowing our true selves, our magnificent divine selves, to
shine through.

April 22, 2012 Dying to Be Me, From Attracting to Allowing
[Anita Moorjani](http://anitamoorjani.com/) was often asked, "Why do you think
you got cancer?" Her answer: Fear. Fear of failing, being disliked, letting
people down, and not being good enough.
Most of us are taught at a very young age to be afraid. But _we already are_
what we spend our lives trying to attain. We come into this life knowing our
magnificence. But the world seems to erode this sense as we grow up.
Whatever we're up against, we're creating. The nature of the particular
conflicts that each of us experiences is directly related to the false beliefs
we hold about life. And consequently, every conflict and problem that we face
is intended to wake us up to the fact that we're believing something that's
not true about life.
We always get what we feel we deserve. We can inspire one another. We can live
from inspiration.

April 15, 2012 Dying to Be Me, True Healing
Drawing from the teachings of [Anita Moorjani](http://anitamoorjani.com/) and
[Marcia Sutton](http://www.sacreddays.org/), Rev. Patrick brings us through a
process of healing and the acceptance of our true magnificence.
We're here to experience and to evolve this physical universe and our own
lives within it. We don't have to wait until we die to experience Nirvana.
Nirvana, heaven, _our true magnificence_, exists right now.
As our fears are dissolved, the obstacles in our lives are removed and the
opportunity is provided for the newness of spirit to reveal itself as an
experience of heaven on earth.
"I am the Presence of the Living Spirit here and now. I love myself
unconditionally. I am so grateful God is the Love I am."

April 01, 2012 Dying to Be Me, The Gift of Cancer
Rev. Patrick begins this month with the story of Anita Moorjani and her book
[_Dying to Be Me_](http://anitamoorjani.com/). In it, she tells of her four-
year experience with cancer, how she tried to heal it, how her body eventually
gave up, and how she passed through a very lucid near-death experience. In her
near death, she felt a profound awareness, a state of unconditional love. And
she was able to learn why she got cancer, and how it was a transforming gift
in her life.
We can learn to see that all of life is perfect. There is a perfection to our
experiences. It doesn't matter where we are on the consciousness continuum---
it only matters that we are on the continuum, that we are awake enough to
acknowledge that we are Spirit incarnate. Life is perfect as it is, because
this dimension, this form, allows us to experience maximum results.
Two things are necessary to grow in consciousness:
1. An intense desire, the drive to know God.
2. The discipline to act with constant and universal forgiveness and gentleness without exception.

March 25, 2012 Great by Choice
We can be great by choice. It takes discipline, not the regimented, follow-
the-rules type of discipline, but the kind of discipline that is a consistency
of action. There should be a consistency with our values, our long term goals,
our performance standards, our methods, and our performance over time.
Happiness is not a constant, but _satisfaction can be_. Satisfaction is a deep
underlying sense of fulfillment, a sense of doing a good job with life.
We alone are cause to our material experience. Once we decide, everything
starts shifting and changing.

March 18, 2012 The Power of Decision
Decision is everything. At the center of our Consciousness is a purpose, but
not a plan. It's not about actions or facts, it is about making decisions
without fear. Our decisions about the future should always have a loophole.
We can decide to live by nature or by grace. We can decide to live by
intuition. "Intuition is the process by which you become aware of yourself,
not as self but as the all-ness and fullness of being." -- Dr. Raymond Charles
Barker in _The Power of Decision_

March 11, 2012 Indecision is a Decision
Teaching from the book _The Power of Decision_, Rev. Patrick shares with us
the wisdom of Dr. Raymond Charles Barker.
How we think and feel determines our place in life. All the ideas we need
reveal themselves in the right order and sequence once we've arrived at a
decision.
Why do we have spiritual practice in our lives? For preparation. It is so that
we are better prepared for when the storms come. This requires discipline, a
discipline not based on obligation, but on devotion.
Progress happens when leaders arise with new ideas. These men and women are
undaunted by material beliefs in material situations. Theirs is, instead, a
spiritual mindset.

March 04, 2012 The Intelligence Factor
Rev. Patrick speaks more on his experiences at the conference in New Orleans.
He shares with us a speech by [Dr. Kenn Gordon](http://kelowna.csl.org/), the
spiritual leader of the new [Centers for Spiritual Living](http://csl.org/)
organization.
"To move forward, we need to move into a new consciousness, into a new idea, a
bigger idea.
"It is a time for transformation. We know this because we have felt that
something has occurred within us. Now is the time to let go of all of our
opinions and all of our judgments. We are in the process of transforming the
world, creating a world that works for everyone."
