Exploring the Science of Mind Teaching at Wednesday Evening Services

What do we do at Wednesday Evening Services?

We learn about the Science of Mind teaching.

The Science of Mind is a spiritual and philosophical movement that has its roots in the field of metaphysics. At its core, The Science of Mind is a belief system that holds that all things are connected and that the mind plays a central role in shaping our experiences.

At its core, The Science of Mind is about harnessing the power of the mind to create positive change in our lives and in the world around us.  The Science of Mind teaches that our thoughts and beliefs tend to influence and shape our experiences. By learning to change our inner dialogue and concepts about life, we can create a more positive and fulfilling life. This is achieved through a variety of techniques, including meditation, visualization, and affirmative prayer.


One of the key principles of The Science of Mind is the belief in the power of the universe. According to this belief system, the universe is a powerful force that flows creatively through us. By aligning ourselves with the universe and tapping into its power, we can open ourselves to more joy, meaning, and fulfillment.


In summary, The Science of Mind is a spiritual and philosophical movement that teaches us how to harness the power of our mind to create a more positive and fulfilling life. Through its teachings, we can learn to tap into the power of the universe and create a life that is in harmony with our deepest desires and aspirations.

Their tragic history raises powerful questions about what happens when deeply held beliefs are challenged. How do you respond when your beliefs are questioned? In this casual, engaging setting, Dr. Edward will guide us in reflecting on how we came to our own be

Dr. Edward Viljoen at Wednesday Evening - Recovering from Betrayal: Lessons from Holy Wednesday

Betrayal can leave us reeling, lost in a sea of shattered trust and emotional turmoil. Yet, within the stories we've inherited, there are paths forward, lessons on resilience, and recovery that resonate through time. Holy Wednesday, often overshadowed by the more prominent days of Holy Week, offers profound insights into the nature of betrayal and the steps toward healing. Dr. Edward will talk about the story of betrayal, understanding its impact on our peace, and the steps we may take to heal from it. The Story of Betrayal Holy Wednesday marks a pivotal moment in the Easter narrative—the day Judas Iscariot chose to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. This act wasn't a mere transaction; it was a breach of deep, personal trust. Judas, one of the twelve disciples, had walked alongside Jesus, sharing in the journey, the teachings, and the miracles. His betrayal set in motion the events leading to the crucifixion, a cornerstone of the Easter story. Understanding the Impact B

What Do You Believe Now?

But that's not the point of this message.  :) I invite you to gather with me on Wednesday, November 8th at 7 p.m. for our Evening Service, where I'll talk about my own journey with Science of Mind, which began at a time when the world was less inundated with information. Today, with a deeper understanding of the nuances of human emotion, neurodiversity, social dynamics, and mental health, I find it enriching to revisit and question the ideas that initially drew me in. The concept that our thoughts have creative power prompted me to ask questions and seek out answers that were both invigorating and, at times, challenging. I've come to appreciate an approach that values evidence and personal growth over accepting ideas at face value. Our gathering is open to all, irrespective of individual beliefs about the divine. Instead, we fo
