As we learn to live more abundantly, we begin to use our innate faculties, AKA Twelve Powers. Today, we engage our faculty of Imagination to give shape and form to our desires.

Licensed Unity Teacher Susan Smith shares the lesson today, reminding us that - no matter what! - there is ALWAYS a Divine Idea available which is absolutely perfect. Looking for outer "fixes" sometimes works, sometimes does not. Divine Ideas are always helpful

Jesus, the master teacher we call our "Elder Brother" or "Wayshower", reportedly said that he had come that we might "live life more abundantly". That would seem to indicate that there is more - much more- to be had from living life than just merely surviving. Surely, his whole teaching mission revolved around the message that there is more to life than just the things we see with our eyes.

Emmet Fox was one of the great metaphysics teachers of the early-mid 20th century. He wrote of creating "mental equivalents" of whatever we wished to see manifested in our lives. He also spoke to the fact that many folks affirm their good in a rote manner, which discussing their ill with a great deal of passion. Licensed Unity Teacher, Susan Smith, discusses the importance of passion and feeling as we work with Truth.

We continue building our willingness and awareness of our Divine Nature. Our ability to demonstrate abundance and prosperity in our lives requires us to really believe.

One of the hardest things for us humans to do along the spiritual path is to really, truly accept that we ARE divine. That we ARE the Infinite in expression at the point we are. Thriving requires us to integrate this Truth into our day-to-day lives.

Every week we speak a denial/affirmation which begins with the words, "Releasing the things that are behind...". Today we start a deep dive into what it means to actually thrive in our lives, and that needs to start with letting go of ALL of the false thoughts, beliefs, habits, ideas, relationships, unforgiveness... everything that no longer serves our claims for living live more abundantly.

Today we introduce two more new voices in our Unity/Peace family, Diane Lloyd and John McKearney, credit students in our Spiritual Education and Enrichment (SEE) program. Each of our continuing credit students has been invited to share what has been their most valued lesson so far in their journey of integrating Unity principles into their lives.

Wrapping up our exploration of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, we look at the need to balance our lives. All of our "doing" must come from our ability to "be". That means taking time to rest, relax, renew, and remain gounded in Truth.

Something a little different this week. As we look at the concept of synergy (which is simply the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts), Rev. Nita shared a video by National Geographic photographer and motivational speaker, Dewitt Jones. Due to copyright issues, we're not including Mr. Jones's talk, but please visit https://youtu.be/gD_1Eh6rqf8 and watch it!. As we explore synergy, his comments about finding the "next" right answer, and shifting to a lens which celebrates the good are helpful and eye-opening.
