In The Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes wrote that the essence of the whole teaching of Science of Mind is Universal Energy, Life Itself, creating individualized centers of expression through humanity functioning at the level of its concept of this Universal Energy, Life. Imagine the creative power of a coalesced synchronized community.

“Create or perish is the eternal mandate of nature. Be constructive or become frustrated, is an equal demand. (Columbia Center for Spiritual Living) cannot escape the conclusion that whatever this thing is which is seeking expression through everything, it can find satisfactory outlet only through constructive and life-giving creativeness. (Adapted) from This Thing Called You by Ernest Holmes

Visioning is a simple yet powerful spiritual practice that transforms every aspect of our lives from clarity about our life purpose, to our interpersonal relationships, to the organizations to which we belong, and the societies in which we live. Join us for a special visioning service for the New Year.  

Every day this year, no matter the circumstances, we can choose to feel blessed, be a blessing for others, and allow wholeness to be the lens through which we view our lives and the world.

The birth and life of Jesus are metaphors for our own celebrations and disappointments. But in our most tender moments, we know that we are even more than that. Christ consciousness is the feeling of wholeness, allowing our natural compassion and our love for one another to reign.

The American writer Henry Miller said, “The moment one gives close attention to anything – even a blade of grass – it becomes mysterious, awesome, and indescribably magnificent.” By virtue of our holy place in the Universe, we are charged with the world’s enrichment.

In her book, Grounded: Finding God in the World, Diana Butler Bass wrote, “When we recognize our common humanity – when we recognize our own humanity in the face of the other – we also recognize the face of God.” There is a vision of love and wholeness deep within us all, an intuitive sense of our Oneness with God and with each other.

We are a part of a greater wholeness. Let’s learn how to be a reference point of this wholeness and how to live in harmony with all parts.
