March 01, 2009 The Radiant Life
To pursue the radiant life... Rev. Patrick reveals how facing fear and issues
from our past helps us to break the repetitive cycles we're in and live a
radiant life, joyfully in the present moment.
[Pema Chodron's](http://pemachodron.org/) book _When Things Fall Apart: Heart
Advice for Difficult Times_ teaches that to live radiantly is to accept
ourselves fully, not declaring war on the parts of ourselves we don't like.
The role of consciousness is to help us face our "demons" and realize that we
are not alone.

February 15, 2009 A Powerful Success Secret!
In honour of Valentine's Day, Rev. Patrick explores the power of a successful
covenant, whether it be with another person or with ourselves. When we partner
with someone, we often share his/her burdens and pain. We can either run from
the pain or become a healer; to stand in the fire with someone is a powerful
thing, but you must be complete in who you are. To be truly compassionate, you
must not get caught in another's pain, but face the pain with love---even Sufi
love, exquisite and radiant.
The _Dynamic Laws of Prayer_ by Catherine Ponder discusses things we can focus
on for more spiritual growth in our lives. Bill Gole says, "It is easier to
act yourself into good thinking than to think yourself into good acting." At
the end of his talk, Reverend Patrick leads us in a vow to love ourselves.

February 01, 2009 Irresistible to Your Good?
Rev. Patrick begins today's talk by discussing strategies for being a leader
in our lives, using a framework from Tony Robbins. In life, there are two
areas to master: (1) achievement, which is us moving about in the world,
building homes, relationships, cars, and jobs, etc; and (2) fulfillment, which
we gain through appreciation and contribution.
The middle part of the talk features the parable of the [Economic Bailouts and
the Monkey Strategy.](http://redlightsandsiren.blogspot.com/2009/02/bailout-
plan-explained-by-monkey.html)
To illustrate giving beyond oneself, Rev. Patrick tells the story of [_Three
Cups of Tea,_](http://www.threecupsoftea.com/) a book by Greg Mortenson, whose
personal quest in climbing the mountain K2 led him to begin building schools
in the villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Rev. Patrick speaks of the Centre's commitment to support a different local
charity each month, by bringing them to the Centre to honour them and support
their work.
We are all powerful beyond our imagination.

January 25, 2009 How Do I Make This Work?
Rev. Patrick teaches us how to use the power of our mind and union with the
God-spirit. Our minds can get trapped in the paralysis of analysis---of what
our problem is, how it happened, how victimized we are---and we pour our
energy into that. So what we focus on is what we are going to see.
Our job here is not to deal with the stuff in our lives; our job is to look at
what's going on around us and see the gift in it. We are the outlet for the
Infinite to express itself through, and every day we plant seeds of thought.
We plant new seeds with our words, and our words have power.

January 18, 2009 What It Does
Rev. Patrick has an on-stage conversation with Linda Watson, a visiting
practitioner from the [Agape International Spiritual
Center](http://www.agapelive.com/) in California.
She speaks about what it means to be a practitioner, the healing power of
being truly listened to, and the unique partnership formed between the
practitioner and client. She further discusses the awesome power of visioning
---at the Centres, in the denomination, and in our personal lives.
The talk concludes with the induction ceremony of six new practitioners at the
Centre. And so we are uplifted.

January 11, 2009 What's Mine to Do?
Our spiritual leader, Rev. Patrick Cameron, discusses the second chapter of
Dr. Ernest Holmes' book _The Science of Mind_. As we learn how to think, we
learn how to live. Our lives are the journal of our thoughts, and to have a
new outcome, we must work at---i.e., practice---choosing a new thought.
Everything is for our good. Dr. Holmes said, "We take our good wherever we
find it, and we make it our own, insofar as we understand it." It's important
---now more than ever---to be keepers of consciousness in spite of the chaos
around us. To bring more peace into the world, we must also stop the war
within ourselves.
We echo what Ernest Holmes said: "How much more good can I let into my life
today than yesterday?"

January 04, 2009 Is That You Or Me?
We're starting a new year, free from the captivity of our old ideas and
learning to listen with our spiritual ears. In today's talk, everyone in the
audience was given a white rock, which symbolizes freedom, letting go, and
accepting the hidden manna, which is our provision, our source of energy and
spiritual nourishment. The white rock also represents a new identity, or a new
name with spiritual meaning, meant only for us. The colour white represents
joy, victory and purification. Meditate on what the white rock means for you,
what new quality or name is coming through.
Whenever we ask, there is always an answer. Prayer is a movement of thought,
along a specific meditation with a specific result in mind.
Sometimes we get ourselves, our brains, into a rut, and that makes it harder
to move forward, to be passionate and to learn new thinking. We are a teaching
of new thought! We need to learn something new, to be alive!

December 28, 2008 I AM a Magnet for Great Good
Reverend Patrick reviews some valuable lessons that we've learned this year.
The first book we studied was _The Prayer Chest_ by August Gold where we
learned the 3 laws of prayer---Prayer is answered through us; prayer is
answered when we listen; prayer is answered when we say yes to everything.
Then we dove into a second book, _A New Earth_ by Eckhart Tolle. In every
moment of our lives we are Divinity seeking expression. Next, we read
_Mastering Life's Energies_ by Maria Nemeth, where she speaks of marrying the
metaphysical with the physical. We need vision and action, attitude balanced
with behaviour.
In the next book, _The Alchemist_ by Paulo Coelho, the young man, Santiago,
has recurring dreams, chases treasure, goes on a journey, and trusts his
intuition. Next, we explored Dr. Eric Butterworth's book, _The Universe is
Calling_, which is all about listening to the conversation and embodying the
consciousness. The final book of 2008 was _The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity_ by
Catherine Ponder. Her six pillars are the same as ours: celebration,
circulation, education, service, meditation, and affirmative prayer.

December 21, 2008 Christmas Legends
Reverend Patrick speaks briefly on looking at the Bible and the Christmas
story as a metaphor for spiritual life, and how the birth of Christ applies to
you and me. Jesus is the Great Example, not the Great Exception. We are
practical mystics; we don't have to convert anyone. If we move our own mind,
and change our own consciousness, we have done our work. We make this time of
year special and celebrate having a generous spirit.

December 14, 2008 The Power of Persistence
Guest speaker [Wayne Lee](http://www.waynelee.com/) gives us a motivational
talk on the power of persistence. It is the principle of never giving up,
always moving forward, and always resolving to reach our dreams. He gives us
some tools to remain grounded in our own thought and not be distracted by the
noise of the world. His favourite tool, the GPS of Life, is a simple, three-
step process to realizing our goals.
