May 08, 2011 A Legacy of Nurturing
Like the moon, come out from the clouds and shine.
On this Mother's Day, Rev. Patrick ruminates on the unreality of birth and
death. Life never ends. Form ends, but life is eternal. Life is a continuum,
and form changes.
When we think of death, we think of suddenly becoming no one. In the same way,
we think of birth as our beginning. From nothing, we suddenly become
something, and from no one we suddenly become someone. From these notions,
there's always fear within us. The Buddhists encourage us to look deeply into
the object of our fear: The fear of dying, the fear of not being. It is this
deep examination which reveals to us our true nature as eternal beings, not
separate from creation but eternally one with it.

May 01, 2011 In Our Genes are the Seeds of Change
You won't see it if you hate it. Let it come to you. Nature cannot be forced,
but only loved into visibility. -- Irene Manton
It is not enough to recognize the larger order---we must love it. Sincerity,
curiosity, and gratitude are the strong, compelling tools of our heart. Our
journey is one of allowing and loving.

April 24, 2011 Accepting Our Own Divinity
As Ernest Holmes said, "We are Christian and more." On this Easter Sunday,
Rev. Patrick celebrates the road map that Jesus left.
Through the Easter story of Barabbas, we are posed the following questions: Do
we choose the world of effect, or do we choose the divine? Do we accept our
own divinity?
For us, Easter means that we step into our Christ consciousness and we live
from that.

April 17, 2011 The Body Visible and Invisible
From the book [_Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the
Soul_](http://www.chopra.com/reinventingthebody) by Deepak Chopra, we learn
that the body is the place where the invisible and the visible show up. The
key to transformation is to create the change we want to see in ourselves.
"There is no reason to deprive our body of love, beauty, creativity, and
inspiration. We are intended to experience ecstasy just as much as any saint.
And when we do, our cells rejoice in it."
Effective, lasting change is only made from a state of joy and relaxation.

April 10, 2011 The Lessons of Kobe
In today's talk, Rev. Kathryn Cardinal shares spiritual lessons learned from
caring for Kobe the dog: spiritual preparation, spiritual practice,
unconditional love, non-verbal communication, showing love through focussed
time and attention, being happy, working through our resistance, knowing that
everything happens for a reason, being present, asking for help, and being
open to receive that help.

April 03, 2011 The Five Laws of the Go-Giver
Continuing his discussion of the modern-day business parable [_The Go-
Giver_](http://www.thegogiver.com/), Rev. Patrick goes over the Five Laws of
the Go-Giver:
1. The Law of Value: Our true worth is determined by how much more we give in value than we take in payment.
2. The Law of Compensation: Our income is determined by how many people we serve and by how well we serve them.
3. The Law of Influence: Our influence is determined by how abundantly we place other people's interests first.
4. The Law of Authenticity: The most valuable gift we have to offer to anyone is ourselves.
5. The Law of Receptivity: The key to effective giving is to stay open to receiving.

March 27, 2011 Making It Real
In our meditation practice, the person we meet when we go inside ourselves
isn't the flimsy construct we're used to. Instead, we meet openness, we meet
silence, we meet calm, we meet stability, we meet curiosity, we meet love, and
we meet the impulse to grow and expand.
This new sense of Self doesn't need to be constructed. It has existed from the
beginning and it will always exist. Having met the new us, it becomes easier
and easier to throw away bits and pieces of the old one, pieces that no longer
serve us. The disappointments and failures in our lives are not who-we-are.
Those are the things that have helped shape us.
Yet we yearn to be real, and that yearning is enough. The person that we seek
is the same Person that is seeking us.

March 20, 2011 True Value
After a quick report from the teens on Winter Camp, Rev. Patrick delves into
three lessons from this month's book, [_The Go-
Giver_](http://www.thegogiver.com/)---lessons on how to be an enlightened,
prosperous business person.
We must remember that we are always planting seeds. Life/Spirit/God does not
respond to _need_. It responds to what we _deserve_ based on the _seeds_ we
plant (this is not the usual way that the word "deserve" is used). We cannot
expect to reap before we have sown, nor make a harvest that is different from
the seeds we have planted, i.e. plant corn and then hope for wheat. We are
happiest when we work in alignment with our hard-wiring, which is simply to
give, to take care of each other.

March 13, 2011 Priming the Pump
In the wake of tragedies such as the earthquake in Japan, it is important to
ground ourselves and not allow ourselves to spin out in circumstances. We must
maintain the high watch and the spark of spirit. All effective prayer is
correcting what we see and hear by what we know.
This month's book, [_The Go-Giver_](http://www.thegogiver.com/), speaks about
value and giving. We have to prime the pump---give some water to get more---
and always be generous, with a passion for what we do or give, not being
concerned with what we are getting back. The biblical Parable of the Talents
also teaches us boldness and growing in consciousness.

March 06, 2011 Things That I Think About
In this week's talk, Rev. Patrick's shares the story of his journey now and
when he joined the organization.
In our movement, we teach the perennial truth: That consciousness precedes
experience. That we control our response to all that we experience.
As individuals, we are the light of the world. Let us live knowing that
whatever happens to us is for us. And it never diminishes us.
