February 28, 2010 Prospering Through Love
Rev. Patrick speaks about the importance of listening deeply to each other's
stories. Even more important is not getting caught up in them, or believing
they are the truth; they are only facts. When you hear someone's story, be
compassionate to their hurts but know that there is more.
"The only thing we can offer one another is inspiration." -- Kennedy Shultz

February 21, 2010 Love's Toolbox
Rev. Patrick talks about love and loss. When people we love make their
transition---pass away---they are still with us. In supporting others,
sometimes all we can do is be lovingly present.
In grieving, or at any time, we need to be able to ask for help. When we learn
to take responsibility for our own lives, we start to think that we don't need
others. But we do, more than ever. We all help shape each others' lives. Life
is loss, transformation, and transition; this teaching is more about letting
go than about gaining things. There is nothing to lose, only a bigger idea to
step into.
Be love.

February 14, 2010 One Around the World
Rev. Kathryn Cardinal weaves together four stories of young people---some only
12 years old---who made a big difference in the world, promoting peace and
taking action against extreme poverty. They accomplished this by believing in
their dream, never giving up, and following the spark of inspiration. A little
idea can become a big idea! Have the courage to allow your magnificence to be
expressed.
About 27 minutes into this talk, Rev. Kathryn shows [an inspiring video, from
one of the stories, about promoting global peace through children's
sports](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glD9ppbSb7I).

February 07, 2010 The Power of Love
Rev. Patrick speaks passionately about **falling in love with our future**,
and falling in love with ourselves in a new way. Emma Curtis Hopkins said,
"Everything is really full of love for you... The good that is for you loves
you as much as you love it. The good that is for you seeks you and will come
flying to you if you see that what you love is love itself. All people will
change when you know that they are love. We shall change towards all people
when we know that we ourselves are formed out of love. All is love. There is
nothing in all the universe but love."
How much love will you accept into your life? If you are going to love another
deeply, you must love yourself deeply. Life comes to find us as much as we go
to find it. Deep calls unto deep. "Life can only find you if you are paying
real attention to something other than your own concerns." -- David Whyte.

January 31, 2010 Transcending the Upper Limits
We need to learn how to handle more positive energy, success, and love in our
lives. Rev. Patrick reminds us about the three questions from Gay Hendrick's
book, _The Big Leap_:
1. Am I willing to increase the amount of time every day that I feel good inside?
2. Am I willing to increase the amount of time that my whole life goes well?
3. Am I willing to feel good and have my life go well all the time?
All we must do is be willing, to agree! We may have to give up some things
from our old way. We must become aware of when we complain about time, and
stop declaring we don't have enough---we are the source of time, it's not a
pressure from outside, and we can make as much time as we need. We can tithe
---or give up---our resentment, jealousy, anxiety, and unforgiveness... We can
decide where we are going to spend our energy.
We must take ownership of our lives, saying, "This is my problem and I am
committed to resolving it."

January 24, 2010 The Ultimate Success Mantra
Rev. Patrick weaves a powerful message, speaking from _The Big Leap_ by Gay
Hendricks and referring to the poetry and writing of [David
Whyte](http://www.davidwhyte.com/). Whyte says there are three reactions we
can have to events in our lives: we deny what's happened, we tell a story
about how we are a victim, or we can be conscious enough to look it in the
eye. At times, we feel like we're on a plateau, but that's where we do a lot
of our learning, where we learn to live in our genius.
Living in your genius is not doing more; it's simply doing what is true to
you. It's finding deep rest. It's looking your situation in the face. As
French philosopher Camus said, "Always live close to tears."
The Ultimate Success Mantra: "I expand in abundance, success, and love every
day as I inspire those around me to do the same."

January 17, 2010 Every Genius Moment
Rev. Patrick reminds us that stepping into our genius depends on how well we
stay conscious, live in the moment, and learn to be professional thinkers.
We have to take 100% responsibility for the way our thoughts create our lives.
We each have a "toolbox" full of thought/word/tools that we use---some serve
to build us up; others create a limited experience. We can learn to start
using the tools that serve us.

January 10, 2010 Spot It, You Got It
This week, Rev. Patrick continues the discussion of the upper-limit challenge
from Gay Hendrick's book, [_The Big Leap_](http://www.thebigleap.net/).
In the book, we learn the four barriers that keep us from living our best life
---from living in our genius---and how to move beyond them:
1. Feeling fundamentally flawed
2. Disloyalty and Abandonment
3. Believing that more success brings a bigger burden
4. The Crime of Outshining
Let us allow ourselves to be transformed---to teach and demonstrate living
from Spirit.
Let us play the most beautiful game we can play---of service, of wisdom, of
clarity.
The Universe wants nothing more than to celebrate our lives---in, through, and
as us.

January 03, 2010 Making the Leap
In today's talk, Rev. Patrick discusses the upper-limit challenge: As far
along as we are on our journey, the very next thing we need to grow through is
our upper-limit challenge.
Using the wisdom from Gay Hendrick's latest book, [_The Big
Leap_](http://www.thebigleap.net/), we need to ask ourselves:
1. Am I willing to increase the time every day that I feel good inside?
2. Am I willing to increase the time that my life goes well?
3. Am I willing to feel good and have my life go well all of the time?
We choose to dwell on something that's working---instead of worry and fret.
We find willingness to clean stuff out of our lives, whatever no longer serves
us.
We ask ourselves: "How much love and abundance am I willing to allow?" and,
"How am I getting in my own way?"
End with this truth: "I am the thinker that thinks the thought that plants the
seed that creates my life."
"I expand in abundance, success, and love every day."

December 27, 2009 The Big Leap
Rev. Patrick speaks about the Centre's new vision statement and tells some
more stories about his recent experiences at the [Parliament of the World's
Religions](http://www.parliamentofreligions.org/).
The world is changing fast, and that can be scary. When we are centered and
know who we are, we are less afraid. We can, however, get caught up in too
much spiritual work and self-actualization, and forget that we need community
and service also. Or we can end up thinking we are so exceptional, we have
nothing left to learn! It's not about how good we are, it's about how good we
want to be. We are only limited in our growth by our own thinking. Ernest
Homes said, "to learn how to think is to learn how to live."
