May 17, 2009 Expert Story Makers
We are expert story makers, so much so that often when we have questions in
our lives, we'd rather have a made-up answer than no answer at all. It's
important for us to recognize the stories for what they are, and realize that
we may be limiting ourselves by believing them; we can expand our capacity for
blessings by being aware. We can only receive that which we are _ready_ for;
consciousness precedes experience.
Let's be fearless in our journey---everything is for our good.

appreciate our mothers, and lift up the motherless around us and love them.

May 03, 2009 The Trance of Scarcity
Rev. Patrick introduces this month's book [_The Trance of
Scarcity,_](http://www.tranceofscarcity.com/) by Victoria Castle. We can
choose to breathe into the circle of abundance---generosity of spirit/sharing,
giving, aligning, openness, gratitude, receiving, and attracting. We don't
need to earn anything, we are completely deserving, we belong here, and we
just have to consent to enter the circle of abundance. We may believe that the
tighter we are, the more protected we are. But when we're physically tense,
it's because we are out of the circle---we're hanging on to things instead of
letting go. The more we second-guess our decisions, the less happy we tend to
be. We often want to change our circumstances, but we need to learn to find
blessings wherever we are now.

April 26, 2009 Laughter
When memories push their way into our lives, it is our opportunity to reframe
them and turn them into a spiritual practice.
We have everything we need to grow. We own our stories, realize they are only
stories, and we decide:
* Can I let go?
* Will I let go?
* When will I let go?
Gradually we do this more and more in the moment.

April 19, 2009 Freeing the Mind to Know the Self
Guest speaker Dr. Rick Moss helps us remove the blocks that our subconscious
mind has put up, which get in the way of what our conscious mind is trying to
create. He leads us in a powerful visualization to access and heal our
misaligned subconscious. Carl Jung said "when our inner situation is not made
conscious, it appears outside as fate."

April 12, 2009 New Life
We celebrate the life of the Christ this Easter by welcoming the musical group
[Memeza Africa](http://www.memezaafrica.org/).
Then, using helium balloons as a metaphor, Rev. Patrick encourages volunteers
from the audience to pop the balloons, releasing concepts such as scarcity and
fear. He then gives each person a mustard seed to represent faith and
willingness to have a new idea. We need to make room for new growth!

April 05, 2009 Language of the Heart
Rev. Patrick explores the beautiful, profound poetry of Rumi---"Water is
searching for the thirsty. The water is the active force, and we belong to the
water." We may have been conditioned to think that God is somewhere _out
there_, but having that belief limits us; heaven is right here. To deepen our
spiritual practice, each day, each moment, we can ask ourselves, "What am I
saying yes to?" or, "What am I saying no to right now?"

March 29, 2009 True Intimacy
Rev. Patrick speaks about [the Buddhist concept of
_Tonglen_](http://www.shambhala.org/teachers/pema/tonglen1.php)---activating
the awakened heart---which is practiced during heartache, struggle, or pain.
_Tonglen_ is not like compassion (to suffer with), but to dwell in the
heartache, take it in and transform it into a higher consciousness. As we grow
in consciousness, we are in service to one another, and to ourselves.
[August Gold](http://augustgold.net/), teacher and author, reminds us that we
can say yes to everything, because it is all here for us. Every person in our
lives is here to be a teacher to us.

March 15, 2009 It's Never Too Late
Using stories of Rumi and [Michael Richards](http://www.art-
for-a-change.com/Month/month.htm), Rev. Patrick speaks about loneliness. We
often run from it and avoid it at all costs, yet it is important to face it.
Loneliness and heartbreak crack us open, and make us available to change for
the better. When the consciousness is ready, it shows up. [Pema
Chodron](http://pemachodron.org/) says, "... In the moment of sadness and
longing, can you relax and touch the limitless space of the human heart?"

March 08, 2009 The Eight Worldly Dharmas
Rev. Patrick guides us in a continued exploration of [Pema
Chodron's](http://pemachodron.org/) book _When Things Fall Apart_. When life
is tough and we get down on ourselves and feel like giving up, the best thing
we can do is stay in the present, accept our situation, and know that the best
is for us. We may feel like quitting, but we need to forgive and be kind to
ourselves and just keep trying.
When we step out of the drama of our situation and become less attached to it
and its outcome, we are able to relax in the present moment. We can then make
better choices and not let fear hold us in its grip. Let's watch our
conversation; we are having conversations all the time, so let's keep them in
heaven!
