Paradigm Shifts
This Sunday we are exploring questions that mystics and scientists have been exploring for thousands of years. We will discuss consciousness and the nature of reality. Science and religion, an unlikely couple for sure, walk hand in hand down the same path. This is exciting! Spirituality and science walking hand in hand down the same path.

So what is a paradigm? And how does our paradigm shift from time to time? Our paradigm is our belief system. Our paradigm or belief system consists of our core assumptions about the universe or our world view.

The world is an interconnected whole and each individual a node in a living web of life. The Hindu tradition offers the image of Indra’s net, in which each node is a jewel that shimmers with the reflection of all the other nodes. In Buddhist thought we find this idea expressed in the concept of “dependent origination,” or mutual causality.
 
Today this perception also arises in the realms of science—in general systems theory, complexity science, and quantum physics. We are discovering that Mind is immanent in nature, extending far beyond the spans of our individual conscious purpose. In Unity we would say that we are discovering that God-Mind is immanent in nature, extending far beyond the spans of our individual conscious purpose.

Mark B. Woodhouse writes:

“To change a major paradigm is to change our definition of what is possible.” 

In the Bible one of my favorite scripture readings is:

“With God all things are possible.”

Join us this Sunday as we move into a paradigm shift of infinite possibilities!

Love and blessings,
Rev. Julie

Our CommUnity Cares
Westside CARES’ most needed items: 

Westside CARES’ Holiday programs:

Thanksgiving: Westside CARES will be collecting King Soopers gift cards (suggested $60 for each family) but all denominations welcomed. The gift cards will be inserted in Thanksgiving cards and delivered to the school counselors on Monday, November 15th. Once received the counselors will distribute to families in need before Thanksgiving break.  

Due to Covid, Unity board members have decided for this year, those who choose to participate will drop off their King Soopers gift cards individually at Westside CARES (Monday-Thursday 0930-12PM) by no later than Monday, November 8th. Please, no Walmart cards for this program.
Additionally, Westside CARES is gratefully receiving monetary donations of any size on their web page under “donate”.

Christmas Adopt-a-Family Program: 
This year’s program will be slightly different than last year. Instead of sharing the addresses for families in the program openly, those wishing to adopt a family will be provided contact information individually. It will then be up to the adopters to coordinate with their family via phone or email to determine a comfortable place to meet and make a delivery (home or neutral location). Details to follow soon; the goal is to have adopters matched with a family by Thanksgiving. Westside CARES is still recommending gift cards rather than tangible gifts because of positive feedback received. Gift cards enhanced the family’s dignity as the parents and children were able to shop for their own family members.
