Centers for Spiritual Living 2024 Global Theme
“A Grand Rising”
September Theme
“Pieces Into Peace”
When it feels like everything is falling into pieces, how can you find more Peace? When we are confused and asleep in the illusion of separation, there is no Peace in our world. Spiritual wisdom and tools can help us awaken and rise to the Truth that, as Dr. Ernest Holmes said, “Peace is always at the center of our own soul.” Oneness, Peace and Harmony prevail. Spiritual tools in our toolkit for Life help us have a Grand Rising in our personal and collective experience of Peace. In this month’s topic, we will explore: What is Peace? How to cultivate Inner Peace, Peace with others, Peace in community, and Peace on Earth--and truly put the “Peaces” together in order to Rise Up and BE the Peace we see in the world.
Affirmation
“I easily tune into the Peace at the center of my soul.”

“A Grand Rising”
October Theme:
“Power to the People”
~ ~ ~
A grand rise with power begins within us. We do our inner work to create a relationship with our inner power that supports us. As we forgive and heal our inner relationship with power, we take the next step in rising by how we express our personal power. This step asks us to release our hidden agendas. We begin to express our power with integrity and authenticity. Power expressed in this manner supports and draws those around together in support of shared causes and ideas. Coming together in our authentic power multiplies what we can do. The difference for good we can make as a group, community, and more is expanded... to express our power.
Affirmation
“I go within to connect with my Source of Power.”

Greetings …
I know that today is the 13th and we are traveling in Brazil and I won’t have Wi-Fi tomorrow, so you get this one a day early.
Today I invite everyone to join me in a “Oneness Practice”
Simplistically, “oneness includes everything,” however, “everything” tends to be a subjective term. Embracing Oneness as a spiritual practice, opening “everything” to truly include everything requires that we adopt a practice of expanding our concept of everything daily.. Such expansion can seem overwhelming. How can we embrace all the hardship of dealing with natural disasters, the terror of wars, the challenges of climate change, the need to reveal ways to address starvation, draughts and water pollution, and the intense need to stop what seems like ever-present domestic violence, and the list goes on? Embracing Oneness is the only way we can expand our consciousness of our inseparability from all that is happening yet remain resilient so that we can do our part to change the world for good. Our parts in this shift are as unique as each of us. Our doing may show up onsite to help or it may be to help strengthen and support those who work onsite around the world or it may be any of myriad expressions of doing and the one doing that we are all called to do is PRAY – to know the Truth beyond the experiences on the human level – to bring about a realization of “Heaven on Earth.”
The practice …
There is only One Source. That Source is God, equally present everywhere, the Creator of everything seen and unseen - the Absolute.
Hesitate to sense the Allness – the numinous – that which is beyond words.
There is only One Life. The Life of all is the Life of God experienced by each individual expression of God.
Hesitate to feel Life surging within you, causing you to be.
Declare the Allness of Life on behalf of all - know that the Truth of your relationship with the Creator is the Truth of everyone’s relationship with the Source.
Hesitate – observe Life as everything seen and unseen – Lie equally present in and as what is.
Remember and know that every situation is pure Divine Potentiality. Within every circumstance, Divine Possibility exists.
Hesitate – inquire deep within: What is waiting to be recognized and manifest? See it! Feel it! Know it!
Ask: How am I to be with this knowing? What is mine to do?
Know: The actions of each individual come together as the unstoppable power of Love.
Now … Answer this heart call!
Be It, consciously in expression! Consistently do what is yours to do!
We are the change-makers … transformative forces changing the world for good!
In Oneness as Love and Peace,
Trish
