November 2020 Divine Authority to Choose - La capacidad Divina para elegir

It seems to be that through our ability to choose, we are sometimes more and sometimes less in alignment with that creative Power flowing through us. 

It is one thing to know we are vehicles through which divine Creativity may be expressed, and it is another thing to rise, choose, and act on that knowledge. We do so through kindness, philanthropy, and good works in the world. By acting, we set up a generative force of circulation and move even closer to our ultimate fulfillment of using the creative power of our minds to channel and magnify the ultimate goodness, the Divine. The more we act in the world, the greater our capacity to be a conduit of the infinite, creative Power.

"No greater good can come to you than to know that the Power already within you is the power to live, the power to create. Not only to create for yourself, but for others -- the power to do good, the power to heal, the power to prosper. You are to realize that the Power within you is a Divine Authority. It is a dispenser of the Divine Gifts. It is a giver of life, of joy. It proclaims the Kingdom of Heaven, the harmony of the soul, and the unity of all being."  

Dr. Ernest Holmes 

The key words in that are “not only to create for yourself, but for others,.”

The power we have to do good

The power we have to reveal wholeness

The power we have to prosper

Is not for ourselves alone, but for others.

October 18, 2020 – Bridge Over Troubled Water - • Semana 3: Un puente sobre aguas turbulentas

To explore our connections to each other requires that we embrace an important idea, that there is something in you that is just like it is in me. That though we may be different, and those differences to be appreciated, raised up, and celebrate, nevertheless, there is something that is in you just the same way that it is in me.

This week the content creators invite us to explore the role that forgiveness work plays in taking down barriers that prevent us from seeing each other through the filter of shared experience.

They present us with these compelling questions:

• Is there an area in my life where I withhold love and caring?
• Is there something that is calling for forgiveness?
• What would happen if I were to set aside real or imagined injury and behaved as I did before?
• What would happen if I was to return to the love that was the original source of this connection?
• Would I be willing to listen and hear what is said with an open mind and an open heart?

October 11, 2020 – Inextricably Connected - Semana 2: Inexorablemente conectados

Dr. David Suzuki, the environmentalist describes it as a web of life, that must become the foundation of the way we live, and he says that

We must work from dominance to partnership

From fragmentation to connection

From insecurity to interdepencence.

I get that.

And an elder of the Chippewa Tribe, Sun Bear, said it like this: "I do not think the measure of a civilization Is how tall its buildings of concrete are. But rather how well its people have learned to relate To their environment and fellow humans."
