December 17, 2017 Where Light Shows Up
What is here now if there is no problem to solve? This is a question that
nurtures the idea of possibility. What must we become to give birth to this
possibility?
Let us free ourselves forever from the thought that God may be pleased by a
life of sacrifice, that the world is any better because of our misery, or that
righteousness is more perfectly expressed through poverty than abundance. --
Dr. Ernest Holmes
We are not meant to suffer. We bless the world by living in freedom, in joy,
and in abundance.
Know that the greater abundance of every good thing which we are bringing out
in our lives, the more perfectly we are satisfying the Divine Urge within us.
Every good thing is a reflection of the awake awareness of this unified field
of co-creation.
Discovering awake awareness is the key to the transformation of consciousness
that leads to our ability to live from freedom, well-being, and loving
connection.

December 11, 2017 Planting the Seeds 2
This is the second of four "Planting the Seeds" community gatherings hosted by
the Centre's new Board of Trustees.
The meeting starts with a review of the last meeting. Then we hear results
from the last meeting's small group gatherings, feedback from the community
survey questionnaire, and an update on the social media and marketing effort
for the Centre. We are then introduced to the idea of [Spirit
Groups](https://www.spiritgroups.org/), which are small groups that focus on
ministering to the community at large.
A highlight of this meeting is the impassioned speech given by Lisa, which
occurs after the 37-minute mark, encouraging us to leave the past behind so
that we can continue the work of touching lives by listening to one another
and ["doing something"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_RjndG0IX8).
A discussion takes place on the need to revise the meaning of membership as
stated in the bylaws.
Dwayne describes the ongoing work on the Centre's Strategic Plan as: "Planting
trees under whose shade we never expect to sit." It is also a process of
replacing panels on the plane as we fly it.

December 10, 2017 Leading, Living, and Growing Through Change
Life is curly! Don't try to straighten it out!
Chair of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Jennifer Bowerman, gives a talk on
leading, living, and growing through change, highlighting the importance of
white space in change moments.
We are always in the light. We don't always see it, but it's there. Doubts are
natural, but we can use them as signposts to guide us to the light. We always
come out the other side.
How do we manoeuvre in a world like this? The answer is that we want to keep
as many options open as possible. We go for viability---something that's
workable---rather than what's optimal. A lot of people say to that, "Aren't we
accepting second-best?" No, we are not, because optimization isn't well
defined any more. What we are trying to do is to optimize robustness, or
survivability, in the face of an ill-defined future. And that in turn puts a
premium on becoming aware of non-linear relationships and causal pathways as
best we can. We observe the world very, very carefully, and we don't expect
circumstances to last. -- Dr. Brian Arthur, in _Waldrop_
When we're really in a stew!
And we don't know what to do!
Bring in the light
Think "white space"
And draw, draw, draw!
And colour!
There is no magic bullet to making us whole other than our own transformation.
Our caring and sharing and loving for others are transformative practices that
only exist in our heads, our hearts, and our hands. We have to work through
our shadows that keep creating our dramas.

December 03, 2017 This Season of Peace on Earth
We are called to focus with great faith that as we turn our attention and
energy to all that is good in the world, that is what will expand, and when we
choose to focus on peace, peace will expand.
Rev. Connie Phelps, currently working in Kenya, says, "This is a truth
teaching and truth is truth for everyone, no matter who we are, where we are,
or what colour we are. It's as simple as that."
Let us be conscious of how we spend our spiritual coin---our attention and
intention. Let us be aware of what we are saying yes to with clicks and tweets
and thoughts. We are creative beings and we are stewards of our thoughts.
Everything is energy.

November 26, 2017 Abundant Gifts
We all have gifts and we are accountable for how we use them. Jesus' parable
of the talents teaches that those who use their gifts well will have
abundance. Those who don't use their wealth well will lose what little they
have. They may feel like they are suffering, but Ernest Holmes teaches that
suffering is a result of not living according to the laws of the universe. It
is a loving indicator that we are out of alignment with the truth of our
being. The man in the parable who was foolish with money---who hid his gifts
---went straight to making excuses and casting blame. That is not our truth.
We have each been given gifts, and if we don't share them, we all lose. All of
life, including money, is a gift from God, and it is ours to share and manage
well.

November 19, 2017 Sufficiency is Abundance
Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience. A context we
generate. A declaration. A knowing that there is enough and that we are
enough.
As we lay down the path of our lives, we must find something that works for us
and keep digging. We keep digging our well, and we keep digging deep, because
there is water there.
We are a community here. A _Beloved Community_ is a collection of individuals
who are learning how to love themselves, one another, and the Universe.
In community, through respect and equal partnership, we activate and cultivate
the energy of hope and possibility.

November 12, 2017 Living From More Than Enough
The natural effort of every individual to better his or her own condition is
more powerful than any obstacle that gets in his or her way. -- Adam Smith
Independent of any amount of resources, scarcity is an unexamined and false
system of assumptions, opinions, and beliefs from which we view the world as a
place where we are in constant danger of having our needs unmet.
There are three toxic myths of scarcity:
1. There is not enough.
2. More is better.
3. That's just the way it is.
By buying into these myths, we lose the fullness of what we already have. It
perpetuates a source of resignation instead of having a soul experience.
Instead, each day upon going to sleep, we should ask ourselves:
1. What bounty did we get today?
2. What do we want to celebrate about today?

November 05, 2017 Where Abundance Shows Up
Today, we look at the journey that [brings our soul to money, and money to our
soul](https://soulofmoney.org/).
It is a journey of realigning our relationship with money to be more truthful,
free, and potent. It enables us to live a life of integrity and full
expression that is consistent with our deepest core values no matter what our
financial circumstances.
On this journey, we learn to embrace its flow. It is all about forming a life
not grounded by wants and needs, but by commitments.
Ultimately, we find that our life is independent of our financial situation.
For many of us, our first thought of the day is, "Not enough sleep." And our
second thought is, "Not enough time." We can see how immersed we are in an
internal mindset of scarcity. This fuels our outer experiences of discord,
fighting, annoyances, and grief.
But we can change this pattern and form a new dream. And how can we change the
dream of the modern world? It takes knowing ourselves at a deeper level, and
it requires courage. Our opportunity is ultimately to answer the call of
greatness.
Like no other time in history, we are free to make meaningful lives. Be
ennobled by this thought!

October 29, 2017 Transformation: What We Have to Lose
Fear is opportunity. The ups and downs of life either create personal growth
or personal fear. Which of these dominate is completely dependent on how we
view change.
Fear is the tool of a man-made devil. Self-confident faith in oneself is both
the man-made weapon which defeats this devil and the man-made tool which
builds a triumphant life. It is more than that. It is the link to the
irresistible forces of the Universe which stand behind a person who does not
believe in failure and defeat as being anything but temporary experiences. --
Napoleon Hill
Situations are often not as we like. How do we come up with the assumption
that life is not okay the way it is? Who says that the way that life unfolds
is not alright? Fear.
Projection is this: We define all of creation based on the messed up parts of
our insides. If this is so, then what do we expect creation to look like?
For spiritual evolution, the heart must become a sea of love, and the mind
must become a river of detachment. Let us prepare our mind to receive the best
that life has to offer.
As for the person we are called to become, how would they operate this day?
In order to be who we are, we have to be willing to let go of who we think we
are. -- Michael Singer
When prayer removes distrust and doubt, and enters the field of mental
certainty, it becomes faith; and the Universe is built on faith. -- Dr. Ernest
Holmes
