Relatively Absolute

Last updated on: April 1, 2013 at 2:10 pm By Kenn Gordon

In the Science of Mind, our founder Dr. Ernest Holmes, states, “We wish to affirm relativity without destroying Absoluteness.” He goes on to say, “This can be done only by realizing the relative is not a thing apart from, but is an experience in, the All-comprehending Mind.” In light of this wisdom, I tell my students that my goal is not to become Absolute or to live solely in the relative. My intention, rather, is to blend the two in... Read more

Living from a Higher Vibration

Last updated on: March 30, 2013 at 12:18 am By Petra Weldes

Physicists are starting to come together around the notion that everything is created from some sort of vibrating energy. This is how we can get something out of nothing. Of course, others have known this for centuries. Countless shamans and spiritual teachers have talked about the need to raise our vibrational rate to that of love and peace, and that when we do that, something new emerges, different from what came before. It behooves us, then, to ask ourselves –... Read more

Easter, A Story I Don’t Want To Pay Attention To

Last updated on: March 20, 2013 at 7:38 pm By Edward Viljoen

For centuries the story of Easter, to some faiths, has been the account of the literal resurrection of Jesus. To other faiths, it is a metaphor about transformation. For metaphysical communities, it remains up to the individual to decide. Nevertheless, it is one of the three times of the year when churches, metaphorically minded or literally inclined, are better attended; Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter. It makes an interesting challenge for pastors, priests and spiritual leaders. “What else is there to... Read more

A Blessing for the New Pope

Last updated on: March 19, 2013 at 2:08 pm By Kenn Gordon

First off, I celebrate the new Pope and congratulate all of the people of the Catholic faith. I pray that Pope Francis is as compassionate, wise, caring and clear as his supporters purport him to be. What the world needs now is another dedicated Spiritual Leader who truly walks in truth and has the courage to stand up for all human rights and all of the people on this planet. His role is far more powerful and far-reaching than one... Read more

Good Friday?

Last updated on: March 15, 2013 at 4:46 pm By Angelica Taggart

This year Easter comes early. Soon it will be Good Friday. I’ve always wondered why the day Jesus was crucified was called “good.” In my research I found that some say it used to be called “God Friday” and became Good Friday just like “God be with you” became “Good bye.” For me, the method of Jesus’ death made his teaching more powerful. Would we have gotten the message that “God is Love and this is who you are”, if... Read more

Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust

Last updated on: March 6, 2013 at 4:39 pm By Editor

Spiritual principles are all about creating a better life. Ernest Holmes believed that we use spiritual principles for the purpose of manifesting the life we want. In a recent trip to Disney World, I came across a pillow that said, “Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust,” and it occurred to me that this is how the creative process works. When we set an intention to have something different in our lives, we must follow it up with these three steps. ... Read more

Here’s to our Graduates

Last updated on: March 4, 2013 at 6:21 pm By Kenn Gordon

In August a brand new class of ministerial graduates will become eligible to enter the profession. Never in our history has a class had as many advantages, options and doable opportunities as these fine and capable students. There is money available to sponsor and help in the pioneering of ministries in appropriate and potentially productive new areas. There are some great pulpits open in existing successful works looking for young and fresh leaders. Many of our works are actively seeking... Read more

Dr. Holmes Quote from Vancouver conference

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 12:38 pm By Kenn Gordon

I’m just home from a marvelous conference in Vancouver, Canada. What a treat. At the conference I was blessed to speak too many of our people on Friday morning and I have received quite a few requests to supply the quote I used from Dr. Holmes. I thought this would be a good place to post it. It comes from the forward of his first book, “Creative Mind”, which was published in 1917. Enjoy! Dr. Kenn THE hand of eternal... Read more

Mystic to the Ears

Last updated on: February 21, 2013 at 11:36 pm By Jesse Jennings

The Spiritual Living philosophy, and those akin to it within the New Thought community and elsewhere, have long sought to redeem the term “mystic” from its association with the strange and supernatural. One of my dictionaries defines a mystic as one engaged in “occult rites and practices.” We might also reframe the term “occult.” Literally, it means hidden. Lots of wonderful, unscary things are hidden: Easter eggs, symbolic meanings, and many of our own strengths and abilities, until we unearth... Read more

Going Integral in Spiritual Organization

Last updated on: February 20, 2013 at 11:48 am By Jim Lockard

The idea of “Integral” – or the recognition that evolution is the process by which new ideas/concepts/actualities emerge into form through people, organizations and cultures, is new in many spiritual circles. It is, however, a factor that we cannot ignore any longer. The very definition of evolution is changing (actually evolving) on a continual and accelerating basis. Our cultural experience is one of increasingly rapid change. As the other galaxies in the Universe are speeding away from the Milky Way... Read more
