The Evidence of Things Believed In - Tonight 7 pm

(Guess which is me?)

Tonight’s service message delves deep into the heart of personal conviction and understanding. At the heart of this evening's gathering, we will reflect upon the strength of our convictions and the evidence of those beliefs in our actions and daily lives.

We will explore the profound inquiries posed by thinkers like Arthur Schopenhauer and consider the challenge of checking the palpable evidence of our beliefs in how we conduct ourselves through life’s peaks and troughs. 

The centerpiece of the message will be the hypothetical scenario of articulating our beliefs in a mere fifteen minutes on national television. This exercise aims to clarify what we hold to be true, allowing us to align our lives more closely with these truths.

Rev. Russ Legear has kindly provided meditation music to aid us in our contemplation, while freshly baked bread, tea, and cookies will nourish us as we partake in the comforting embrace of community. The goal is to emerge with a clearer understanding of our convictions and to embrace the role of living out these truths authentically, serving as beacons to others by our example.

I am excited to share my current beliefs, a perspective born from a lifelong journey of introspection and discovery. It is an understanding that continues to evolve, influenced by myriad factors including the challenges and joys of my journey, the steadfastness of my meditation practice, and the ever-changing landscape of life itself.

I'll touch upon the nature of existence, the oneness that binds us, and the implications of our inherited creativity and power. 

Everyone in the community is invited to join us for this evening of introspection, connection, and renewal. Come with an open heart and a curious mind, ready to partake in the challenge to develop clarity around your deepest held truths.

Tonight, 7 m, at the Center.

Your Friend Within - New Year's Day Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

  For much of my life I went it alone. I thought I had to do everything myself, that there was nobody who was willing to help me. This was a challenging way to approach my life--and it was a difficult path, it turns out, I didn't need to follow.  In our experiential New Year's Day Wednesday Evening Service (try saying that three times fast!), I'll share with you a spiritual concept that I wish I knew when I was determined to go it alone: how we can nurture a relationship with what Ernest Holmes calls "The Friend Within," that aspect of our spiritual existence that is available to us 24/7 as our coach and best friend.  Tonight will be filled with music, we will set intentions, and we will connect with our Friend Within so that we might have all the love and support needed to bring that intention to life. I look forward to seeing everyone at the Center at 7pm. -Russ

Energy Flows Where Attention Goes with Edward Viljoen, January 19 2025

This Sunday, I’ll explore the theme, “It Flows.”  I’ve been reflecting on the power that moves through all things, including each of us. Life’s creative power, like the electricity that lights our homes, is always present. Yet, it requires our active participation to flow into the world. Flipping the switch is an act of awareness and intention, and it’s a choice we make every day—whether to direct this energy toward creating, healing, and helping. Together, we’ll consider three key ideas: Awareness is the Key to Using Creative Energy Life’s creative power responds to our awareness. By becoming mindful of our thoughts, we unlock the ability to direct this energy where it’s needed most. Tuning Into the Creative Flow This power doesn’t discriminate; it’s available to all. What sets us apart is how we engage with it. Simple daily practices can help us align with this flow and tap into its limitless possibilities. The Power of Dominant Thoughts What we focus on consistently shapes our e...

"Oneness" - Wednesday Evening Service with Rev. Russ

  #1 - Oneness Spirit (whatever we choose to call the infinite “something”) is the source of all that is, and Spirit is all that is. Everything is made of Spirit and is a unique expression of The Infinite. What is Oneness? We hear this word quite a bit at the Center, but what does it really mean, and how is it useful in my life?  These are just some of the questions we will answer in tonight's Wednesday Evening Service as we embark upon our journey exploring the ten core concepts of the Science of Mind and Spirit. Join us at 7pm for music, freshly baked bread and tea, and an inviting community where we will learn all about Oneness.  See you soon! -Russ
