SpiritSpeaks March-April, 2017 Volume 14 Issue 2

Dear Ones,

As you march ahead into spring I am wondering what is

marching along with you? What thoughts?

What feelings? What expectations? In your thoughts are

you occupied with past and future? How long do you

linger in the now? When in the present, how long does

it take before being swept away by the past or pushed

forward by the future? Is there a resolve to: “Be Here Now?”

What is happening mostly in your feeling zone? Where do your feelings mostly

linger? Is the past and future weighing heavily and negatively impacting them?

Perhaps you are mostly feeling energetic now that spring is here? Maybe the joy

of new life budding has you smiling and has you on the lookout for new colors,

tones and textures, new bird song? What are you envisioning your springtime to

be, I wonder?

These are the questions I ask myself just now. Where am I in this springtime?

Where do I want to be? How do I get to where I want to be? The answer to my

questions came back to me loud and clear: “Get to where you want to be by

knowing you are already here. Be here now! The only place you can be is

wherever you are in your mind and you are always in your mind NOW!" An

answer leaving me much to ponder on!

Well, I am knowing for each and everyone of you, Dear Hearts, that you are

open and receptive to good and only good and are ready for the new and

wonderful. I am knowing that Spirit by means of you is on the move clearing

away anything that may be stopping you or blocking you from the deeper

realization of your amazing and bountiful life. I am knowing that any situation,

circumstance, condition, idea, experience or feeling of a challenging kind is

being cleared now and Spirit in and through you is moving you upward and

forward into your expanded life and living. I am knowing that faith in the Power

and Presence of Spirit in you is strong and absolute, beyond any sense of doubt.

You ARE the outlet to all Spirit's bubbling grace within you. So relax! Release!

Let Go! Let God! Yours is the Kingdom of good now! Relax! Release! Let go!

Let God! Claim your good! Own it! It is yours already, but only for the

KNOWING and saying YES to it! You are so loved, and so cherished and given

to by your Creator. Trust Its Creative Process in you, working through you! See

then if your life will not open up in ways you will be magnificently surprised by,

and you will then know who and what you are in truth! This is what I am

A Season for Nonviolence 2017

A great opportunity to promote nonviolence

and a reverence for life is through the Season

for Nonviolence program, taking place in the

South Bay and communities throughout the country. A Season for

Nonviolence takes place between the memorial anniversaries of Mahatma

Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., honoring their vision of a nonviolent

world. The 64 day program, running from January 30th through April 4th is

a campaign created by people like you who are choosing nonviolence as a

way of life. We encourage you to join with others in the South Bay to help

build communities that honor the dignity and worth of every human being

through the practice of nonviolence. Your participation in these activities

will hasten the unfoldment of this dream. For information on ways to

participate, contact the church office at (310) 540-5080.

“Dying to Be Me”

by Anita Moorjani

In a wonderfully synchronistic stream of

events, I noticed a copy of “Dying to Be

Me” on a friend’s coffee table. Not really

being part of the ongoing conversation, I

picked up this book and ‘sampled’ it.

Anita Moorjani finally wrote the book

after notes on her near death experience

(NDE) had begun to spread to and

impress many experts. I skipped the first

few chapters after I saw that they were an

inviting lead up to the meat of the book –

I wanted the dessert first!

I loved reading this powerful book!

Page 75 About her NDE, she wrote “the

unconditional love & acceptance was

incredible … I became aware of a new

level of truth. I discovered that since I’d

realized who I really was and understood

the magnificence of my true self, if I

chose to go back to life, my body would

heal rapidly … my body is only a

reflection of my internal state. If my in-

ner self were aware of its greatness and

connection to All-that-is, my body would

soon reflect that and heal rapidly”.

Page 113 During her NDE, she heard the

words”Go back and live your life

fearlessly … I went from an outside-in

view of reality to an inside-out view ..

although everything exists in a web of

interconnection and we have access to it

all, my world at any point in time is a

tapestry of all my thoughts, feelings,

experiences, relationships, emotions and

events up to that point … I can increase

or limit my tapestry by expanding my

experiences & awareness or restricting

them”.

Page 116 … we never really become

disconnected from the center … we

temporarily lose sight of it … our sense

of diconnection is simply part of the

illusion of duality … being centered

means feeling our place at the center of it

all … the center of oneness”.

Page 166 Needing certainty shackles my

potential for the unexpected. … in the

realm of ambiguity, I’m at my most

powerful. Letting go of all previous

beliefs, disbeliefs, dogma and doctrines

puts the infinite universe at my disposal

and works to give me the best possible

outcome for my life. It’s where magic

happens.

This is not a Science of Mind book – it IS

a book that reminded me of what we

teach at our Center & in our classes – the

author had the experience that burst her

through a crash course inTruth as we

know it. What a confirmation of all we

state we believe!

On the inside cover it reads “I believe

that the greatest truths of the universe …

lie deep within us, the magnificence of

our heart, mind and soul. Until we under-

stand what is within, we can’t understand

what is without … I share my story in the

hope of touching your heart in some way

and reminding you of your own

magnificence”.

There’s so much more …

BOOK REPORT

As a volunteer your services help make our Center

the wonderful place that it is. Here are some

volunteer profiles of various opportunities for you to

answer your inner calling to lovingly serve our

church community.

Would you like to be a Greeter? As a Greeter, you

are the first impression of our center as people come

through our doors. Making everyone feel welcomed

is an enriching experience for you and all of our

Center’s family.

Being an Usher is the art of making visitors and

members feel comfortably at home and lending

spiritual dignity to the whole Center’s service. The

usher acts as host and has countless opportunities to

make friends for the church by his/her personal

bearing, manner, and welcome attitude.

Any day Monday through Friday at any time from

9am to 5pm or Sundays before and after the service,

the Front Office needs volunteers to answer

phones and in person inquiries, help with mailings,

and other various light clerical duties. On Sunday,

volunteers are needed to sell magazines, CDs and

DVDs of our services, Dr. Moira, and various

workshops, and answer questions. Your cheerful

and patient attitude, friendliness and a welcoming

personality are deeply appreciated.

If you love to nurture people with food and a smile,

the Hospitality group is the place for you. You will

be preparing and providing food after both services,

and helping with the clean up. We are grateful for

your creativity and desire to push up your sleeves

and pitch in.

If you would like to work in the Bookstore,we need

help in there on Sunday mornings after both

services.

S.T.U.D.S…“Sacred Team Undertaking Divine

Services”!!!

Just like our physical house, our spiritual home

has needs also…painting, repairs, cleaning and

sprucing up to name a few and WE NEED YOUR

HELP! If you enjoy strapping on a tool belt,

wielding a paint brush or a hammer, we welcome

you to join STUDS. Female STUDS are needed

too! We get together whenever the Center is in

need of our expertise.

Seminar and Special Events require you to do

different activities. Sell tickets in Richelieu Hall,

greet, work in the kitchen to help prepare the food,

or Richelieu Hall to help decorate, and any other

details needed for the event to run smoothly.

There are many opportunities in our Youth

Center. From being a teacher , an assistant, a

greeter from one Sunday a month or ongoing

commitment. Greet children and parents at the

Youth Center entrance, oversee the sign in

process for both children and parents, escort new

children to the appropriate classrooms are just

some of the activities. If you love children, are

creative thinking, love singing, playing and

having fun, this is the place for you to serve.

The Audio/Video department is also looking for

special volunteers to help with the recording of

CDs or DVDs as well as people interested in

learning to run the sound equipment.

We are so grateful for our wonderful volunteers.

We are so blessed to have each and every one of

you serve in your own unique way. We appreciate

all of your time, talent, and dedication. We love

and thank you always.

If you are interested in any of these volunteer

opportunities in our Center, please sign-up at the

front desk and someone will contact you.

SPRING CLEANING FROM THE INSIDE OUT!

Reverend Louisa Gravelle When it’s time to spruce up your home and dust off the cobwebs, do you spring clean from

the inside out? Are there thoughts and conditions you want to release? What about inner

programming? Anything there you would like to delete? Any hurt feelings you are ready to

forgive and dissolve? Is it time to let go of an item and the feelings associated with it? On

the other hand, what needs your attention and intention to blossom and flower?

Here are a few guidelines you might choose to adopt to transform your life from the inside

out.

What’s working?

Okay what thoughts and feelings do you entertain that works for you? Some of mine are “I love myself.” “I am grateful.” “I am the One in whom God is well pleased.” “I am a powerful,

healthy, and loving leader.”

What’s not working? What’s holding you back?

Your thoughts and feelings may sabotage your progress towards your goals. I suggest that

you take a look at the whole picture. Don’t edit yourself. Write down the thoughts that

interfere with your highest vision of yourself. Get them all on paper or tablet.

After you have answered all of the questions in this article for yourself, go back to your list

and turn every thought on the list into an affirmation for your highest vision.

What’s most essential to you?

For this portion of the inner transformation, I recommend that you become quiet, and vision

from within. Ask yourself “What is most essential to me?” LISTEN!!!

Why do you want to bring order into your life and being?

What is your motivation? What is echoing throughout your body being from your inner

voice?

Is it? “I choose to live a life of love and freedom.” “I increase my self-confidence.” “I increase

my financial abundance.” “I increase my sense of well being and peace of mind.” “I am

healthy.”

What is causing the problem?

Are there external challenges to finding the time to meditate? Or you don’t have a space to

be alone?

Are there internal challenges? When you quiet your mind, it rambles? You don’t trust your

inner thoughts? You don’t know how to contact God?

When you look at what’s causing the challenges, they are always from within. It may appear

that there is nowhere or “no when” for you to be alone. Walk outside and breathe. Duck out

of a meeting; stand in a hallway, breathe. Internally, when you give yourself permission to

“clean house” God meets you right where you are and says “YES, I am with you always.”

Ciencia De La Mente

Queridos lectores:

A continuación voy a compartir con ustedes unos versos del poema “La Casa de los

Huéspedes,” de la inspiración del inmortal Rumi: “El Ser Humano es una casa de

huéspedes. Cada mañana llega algo nuevo, una alegría, una tristeza, una maldad;

cierta experiencia momentánea llega como visitante inesperado. ¡Dales la bienvenida

a todos... Trata a cada huésped con honor aunque sea una multitud de lamentos,

pensamientos obscuros, vergüenza, malicia. Recíbelos riendo e invítalos a entrar...

Pueden estar creándote el espacio para un nuevo deleite...!”

Lo cierto es que esta forma florida de invitarnos a no resistir el “mal” es una

enseñanza de Jesús — totalmente práctica y necesaria. Lo que parece malo en realidad

llegó a nuestra experiencia para que aprendamos algo valioso y progresemos. Ya antes

mencionamos que los llamados “problemas” son sólo lecciones u oportunidades y, de

acuerdo con nuestro recibimiento, estas nuevas situaciones tienen el objetivo de

impulsarnos a elevarnos a nuevos niveles de progreso.

No resistir a esas nuevas situaciones nos permite evitar el miedo, en primer lugar. Esto

nos deja libres para dedicar nuestra energía a las magníficas novedades que nos

traerán las soluciones. Una forma muy sencilla de vivir con confianza es verlo así,

“Esto también es para mi bien... y sólo el bien resulta de ésto.” Aquí. Ahora.

Esta actitud es una necesidad real en la vida de cada persona. Requiere confiar con

toda su fe, rendir cada una de esas situaciones al poder y la presencia de Dios dentro

de usted mismo. ¡Esta forma de vivir es libertad verdadera. Es su mayor triunfo!

Amor, paz.

Youth and Family Corner

RBCSL Youth Program is thriving beautifully and continuing to offer a

quality program for children of all ages. We are happy to report that our

"Tween" program (11-14 ) now meets twice a month, the second and

fourth Sunday each month. Our goal is to meet every Sunday by the

beginning of summer. It's a special opportunity to be part of a new group of

like minded friends, seriously diving into learning the principals that will

empower them to navigate through their teenage years.

We are thrilled to announce that we have our new nursery teacher and she

is wonderful so, bring in your little ones.

Our largest group of children ages 5-10 are so much fun!!

As we are moving towards spring, we will have special craft projects

making flowers and paper baskets. We have science to explore and many

wonderful plans to learn about our world and each other.

As always, we thank you for bringing your children to our program.

RBCSL is an incredibly special place to learn and grow, at every age. We

are blessed by your beautiful children and are so grateful for every

Sunday that we have them in our program.

PRAYER TREATMENT FOR THE RICHNESS OF LIFE

By Rev. Mary Morgan

The Spirit within me is the same Divine Intelligence that creates all things. I am one with the rhythm of life. Each day I

take time to allow the love of Spirit to permeate my thinking, my words and my actions. God goes before me clearing my

path to realize the pattern of perfection at the heart of everything. I allow the Power within me that knows only goodness

and light to inspire me, to guide me, and to protect me in all activities and relationships. I know that God gives to me only

what it can know through me, as me. So I open my mind and expand my vision of my Life, accepting into my experience

all the good that I desire. I declare that the richness of life, abundance and prosperity of every kind – money,

relationships, love, well-being, wisdom, health, opportunity, creativity, and peace of mind – are mine now. I release any

idea that I might have had that I must wait for my good. Gone are the fears that I once believed could stop or block me.

Fear is merely nothing trying to be something. Anything that is unlike to sweetness of Life has no place in my world.

My good is mine now. I embrace the real truth of who I am and who I came here to be. I remind myself that I am the only

thinker in my world. I identify solely with thoughts of goodness, kindness and love.

At peace, I center my thinking in trust of the joyous, bountiful Presence of Spirit knowing Itself as me. I release this

declaration into the Law of Mind, knowing that my word is always responded to by Spirit that loves and honors my word.

In gratitude, I smile and relax into a deep knowing that the mind of God is my mind and knows exactly what to do to

guarantee that my desires manifest now. In complete surrender, I allow this prayer to be so and SO IT IS!

Practitioner Services Licensed Practitioners and Intern Practitioners are available for

prayer treatment consultation. A Practitioner is one who is trained

to do Spiritual Mind Treatment (prayer treatment) for clients.

The training of Practitioners is extensive, and is conducted over a

period of at least five years, including internship. Practitioners

and Intern Practitioners are governed by a Code of Ethics and are

under the supervision of the Pastor of the Church.

There is a fee charged for this service when performed by a

licensed Practitioner. Intern Practitioners do not charge a fee, as

this work is part of their professional training. Licensed Practi-

tioners charge a fee of $35 for a one-half hour treatment session.

Consult your individual practitioner for a fee schedule relative to

weekly or monthly sessions, or for house calls. It is important to

note that a Practitioner will never turn a client away because of

the client’s inability to pay the fee. In such a case, the

Practitioner will also treat the client to demonstrate abundance.
