December 18, 2011 A Kidnapped Santa Claus
The storytelling continues! Rev. Patrick relates the main themes of L. Frank
Baum's book [_A Kidnapped Santa Claus_](http://www.amazon.ca/Kidnapped-Santa-
Claus-Frank-Baum/dp/1463800703/). In it, he reminds us not to be afraid of the
dark sides of our nature; we can step back into the light at any time.
In Malcolm Gladwell's book [_Outliers: The Story of
Success_](http://www.amazon.ca/Outliers-Story-Success-Malcolm-
Gladwell/dp/0316017930/), we learn of the small town of Rosetta, where the
inhabitants' long, happy lives are thanks to the caring, loving nature of the
community. The values of the world we inhabit and the people we surround
ourselves with have a profound effect on who we are. What kind of community
have we surrounded ourselves with?

December 11, 2011 How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Rev. Patrick reads to us from the 1957 children's story _How the Grinch Stole
Christmas!_ by Dr. Seuss.
Life is a blackboard upon which we consciously or unconsciously write those
messages which will govern us. And we hold the chalk and the eraser in our
hand, but we are ignorant of this fact. What we now experience, we need not
continue to experience. But the hand that holds the eraser must do its
neutralizing work.
At the beginning of the story, the Grinch is stuck in envy and jealousy. In
the end, the expansion of the Grinch's heart serves as a metaphor for the
expansion of his consciousness.
"I really think that it's _possible_ to continue to change the consciousness
of this planet. I believe we're here for a reason. I don't think it's any
accident that you're here today. We are here to give birth to the new
consciousness, and that's happening all the time." -- Rev. Patrick Cameron

December 04, 2011 Light It Up
Rev. Patrick begins today's talk with a simple children's Christmas story
about a shift in perception. We learn that it is in the sharing, in the
generosity of spirit, that the consciousness is shifted.
In _Creative Mind and Success_, Ernest Holmes said this about spiritual
practice: "We have this Law in our hands to do with it as we will. We can draw
what we want only as we let go of old order and take up the new. And this we
must do to the exclusion of all else.
"Generosity is Grace. We need to believe in the Grace of God, the Divine
_Givingness_. But we must recognize that the Divine _Givingness_ can mean
nothing to us until there is a _Takingness_ on our part. It requires our
participation in it.
"The Self must raise the Self by the Self because the Self is God. We have to
do the work. No one can do the work for us."

November 27, 2011 The Bridge to Healing
It's always a special treat when the teens help out with the celebration! Rev.
Patrick expands on his discussion of Deepak Chopra's book _Reinventing the
Body, Resurrecting the Soul: How to Create a New You_, expanding on the four
main practices we can use to move from being a "fight and flight" person to
become a visionary: Remain centered. Be clear. Expect the best. Wait and
watch. We can get out of our reactive mind (the chattering/monkey mind) and
move into the witness mind (present moment awareness).

November 20, 2011 A Community of Cells
Our bodies are made up of cells. In fact, each of us is a living community of
over 50 trillion cells.
The idea of waking up spiritually is to shift from living unconsciously to
living more consciously, moving towards where we would like to take our lives.
According to Deepak Chopra, life brings many situations where letting go isn't
easy. Fortunately, there is always one strategy that works for letting go:
instead of focusing on our reaction in the moment, we can step back and assert
who we really are. The real us has no agenda. It lives in the present, it
responds to life openly. Let us say to our reaction: "That's not me, it's just
an experience that I'm having."
What is there for each of us to do in the moment?
Remain centred. Be clear. Expect the best. Wait and watch.

November 13, 2011 Clearing What is Holding Us Back
Healing is ultimately a shift of our perception, moving into a greater sense
of who we are and what we are.
Ernest Holmes said this, "Spiritual mind healing is a revelation, even though
we go through a process to arrive at it. Each must work out their own method
and pursue their own logic. If their method and logic lead them to the right
conclusion, they will be rewarded by an affirmative answer. It is not the
spirit of the person that needs to be made whole; it is their mental reactions
to life that need healing---their perceptions, how they filter life. These
mental reactions are both conscious and subjective. Successful spiritual mind
treatment neutralizes negative reactions on both the conscious and the
subjective levels."

November 06, 2011 From Scientist to Healer
Rev. Patrick explores healing of the body and healing of the soul through the
book [_Cell-Level Healing_ by research scientist Joyce
Hawkes](http://celllevelhealing.com/). In it, she says that appreciation is
the first step in our spiritual practice, as a bridge between ordinary reality
and spiritual reality. Gratitude leads to devotion, resulting in compassion
that flows naturally to the heart as profound healing.
Spirit is the potential that lies within each one of us. Our soul is not in
our body---we are in our soul. The foundation for all thriving is the trio of
_love, happiness, and knowing_. Together, they bring us back to Source, back
to Union.
Our call is enlightenment. To continue to wake up and do our practice.
Whatever moves us in the direction of Source.

October 30, 2011 Spiritual Makeover: Part 2
Living our lives from "Why"
According to the Romans, Genius is a universal presence that "lives in the
walls of the artist's home." It's something that we can have, that we can
host, that we can welcome. It's not personal, it's not individual. It's a
Universal Intelligence: "I don't know, but something within me does know."

October 23, 2011 Blazing Trails
Blazing means fire. Fire is symbolic of transformation. Something gets ignited
and changes happen. The trail represents the path that we're on.
Joseph Campbell said this, "If you can see your path laid out for you, in
front of you step by step, then you know it's not your path. Your own path
that _you make_ is with every step you take. That's why it's _your path_."
The key to hearing our calling is paying attention to what is going on in our
lives. To be still and know that I am God. To be still and hear that inner
voice.

October 16, 2011 Ultimate Lesson
If we are irritated by every little rub, how will we get polished? -- Rumi
In this week's talk, Rev. Catherine McLeod discusses life's ultimate lesson
and the subject of relationships: our relationships to ourselves, to our
partners, to our community, and to our world.
Our ultimate lesson is to learn unconditional love, which includes all others,
but also ourselves.
Rev. Catherine also compares internal spirituality and external spirituality.
The internal encompasses our inner spiritual practice. The external, our
spiritual practice as it plays out in community. In community is where we
demonstrate love, respect, forgiveness, compassion, and a generous spirit
towards one another.
