Following [Derek Rydall's _Emergence_](https://derekrydall.com/), Dr. Patrick
leads us through an exercise of activating our "emerginations", to help us
discover and process our soul's purpose.

He then gifts us with a Rumi poem about breaking up the soil, a metaphor on
how breaking our old patterns is necessary to cultivate the life energy of our
soul.

"Our spirit needs to follow the changes happening in the spacious place it
knows about. There, the scene is always new, a clairvoyant river of picturing,
more beautiful than any on earth."

Visioning and the Emergination

We are a spiritual community that blesses all teachings and all spiritual teachers. We know that there is no wrong way to worship, whether it be lighting a candle, facing the east, burning incense, repeating a mantra, lighting a menorah, or offering prayer. We respect all the ways there are to draw closer to Spirit, for even though there may appear to be great differences in the path, the destination is the same. --- As an expression of our community, this podcast offers you weekly messages on the principles and practice of spiritual living delivered by Dr. Patrick Cameron and various guest speakers. We are the Centre for Spiritual Living in Edmonton, Alberta.

The three things that people are most afraid of are death, other people, and
their own minds.

The Buddha said this, "All we are is the result of what we have thought. It is
founded on our thought. It is made up of our thought. If a man speaks or acts
with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the
ox that draws the carriage.

"All we are is the result of what we have thought. It is founded on our
thought. It is made up of our thought. If a man speaks or acts with a pure
thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him."

So if we're miserable, what do we do? If we're unhappy or suffering, what do
we do? The answer here is clear.

Love Casts Out All Fear

Motivational guest speaker Elizabeth Manuel speaks today about presence,
awareness, and intention.

She considers the question, "What's lurking beneath the threshold of our
consciousness?", as she weaves examples of practical spiritual principles into
triumphant stories of her life's struggles.

Presence, Awareness, and Intention

As a modern society, we tend to operate in ways that are not sustainable. This
is our enchantment with progress.

But we are not stuck, and we teach spiritual principles that we can apply in
our lives, individually and collectively, to change the way that we show up in
the world.

The Enchantment to Oneness

Ernest Holmes wrote that in the New Thought movement "we are likely to indulge
in too much theory and too little practice."

We need to practice these spiritual thoughts and spiritual modalities, to
integrate them into the foundation of who we are.

"As a matter of fact, we only know as much as we can prove by actual
demonstration."

How to Use It

Ernest Holmes wrote, "We can know God only in so far as we can become God."

We must practice these things as we work towards waking up our consciousness.

"It is necessary that we release all thoughts---as well as things---that
clutter up our lives."

"I am looking at the face of God. You are beautiful. I support you in
releasing and dissolving and eradicating whatever it is that you know is no
longer required. You've got this. I celebrate your freedom and giving birth to
the infinite possibilities!"
