Message from Hazel Bowman, RScP
CSLP Practitioner Core Chair




The new year is upon us and is filled with promise and possibilities. I can hardly wait to see what Spirit has in store for our Center, living to Its highest vision! 
 
So far Spirit is doing a darn good job – or should I say “we are” as Its expressions of Divine Activity.
 
We kick off January with Scott Thompson RScP as our guest speaker on Jan 2 on “Awakened Consciousness in 10 Steps” and make sure to attend his workshop that afternoon “Setting A New Course for 2022” which is designed to heal and let go of the past to embrace the future. Then on Jan 9 we welcome Rev. Karen Blakely with her topic “How Rich is Your Soil?” and the following Sunday on Jan 16 we have Rev. Jeff Hargis speaking on “The Inner Labyrinth & the Outer Crowd.” On Jan 23 we look forward to Dr. Karmen Smith who was the key note speaker in Charlottesville, VA at the Eastern Unity Conference with Marianne Williamson, and ending the month on Jan 30 is moi when I have the pleasure in being our guest speaker on “To Be or Not to Be: Is that Really A Question?”
 
This month we will be saying a loving farewell to our dear Sue Sharer RScP who will be moving with her son Robert down to Texas to be closer to family. We bless you both recognizing that God-centered you are always in your perfect place. Sue, thank you for all your years of devoted service to us. Your legacy of “only good can come from this” will always remain with us.       
 
If you’re not already enjoying our “Counting on Meditation” series with Jon Haass RScP and Music Director Jackson Rauch, then consider making it one of your New Year resolutions to join in on Monday mornings, live (you can watch on Facebook) at 12 Noon. It’s an awesome way to center yourself in knowing all the Good that surrounds you.
 
One great way to learn more about our teachings is with our Science of Mind (SOM) Study Group on Tuesdays evenings from 5:30pm-7:00pm. Facilitated by Board Members Chris Pearce and Jim Holmes, you have a chance to delve deeper into the SOM articles in its current issue. Reach out to Chris at 914.262.8599 or Jim at 414.581.0199 to find out more.  
 
There’s more exciting news! Due to the efforts of Grace McManus RScP and Scott Thompson RScP, on Monday January 17 at 6:00pm our beloved Swami Sankarananda will be leading an evening meditation at our Center AND he’ll be our guest speaker on Feb 20. Currently Grace is working on having Swami resume his monthly Monday evening meditations with us throughout 2022. How awesome is that?!
 
And best yet Sandy Kimmerle RScP is teaching “A Consciousness of Joy”, a four-week class starting Jan 15 from 9am-12 Noon that is certain to delight you. You may sign-up in the CSLP foyer or contact Sandy at 928. 925.3102.
 
And to think all this is just the beginning of the year! As Ernest Holmes reminds us, “The old year passes into the new and heralds in the possibility of triumph, the triumph of the Spirit in us.” And so it is! 
               
Love and more love,
Hazel

SPIRITUAL MIND TREATMENT
Blessings Beloveds,
 
It is such an honor and a privilege for me be addressing this community as we begin 2022. As I personally look towards the future, I am consciously aware of the past and how each event in 2021 shaped us as a community and positioned us into areas unexplored.
 
2021 was indeed the year of transition for this community as we began to experience something I like to call other -wise. We may feel a sense of loss longing for the way things used to be. We certainly experienced personal loss from the transition of our wise and steady practitioner Dave Sharer and the transition to something else from our spiritual leader Rev. Kathleen Sibley.
 
2021 ended with new opportunities with the Board and the Practitioner Core joining as one. It brought the talents and wisdom of Rev. David Ault calling us to be more, do more and be grounded in our personal values.
 
We will have more of unique messages as 2022 greets us and an opportunity to find our next spiritual leader. We can attract that new leader to shine our individual lights as the unique and Divine expressions that we are.
 
The vibrancy and this strength of this community has repositioned us into something possible. I remember in childhood, adults asking me what I wanted to be when I grew up. It’s funny that I am still asking myself that question and I always seem to get different answers. It does however all comes back to the heart and soul of service. How can I serve thee, as We?
 
I think we can apply that at CSL Prescott. What wants to be revealed through each of us, as each of us, in this community? What pearls of possibilities waits to be revealed? I’m excited to see what 2022 will reveal for us.
 
As Ernest Holmes the founder of our philosophy said “Like attracts like and we attract just what we are in mind.”
 
Let’s attract the highest and greatest good to our center as we individually demonstrate that truth for ourselves.
 
Namaste.
Scott Thompson RScP

Sunday afternoon - "Setting the Course for 2022”

SUNDAY JANUARY 9
REV. KAREN BLAKELY 
“HOW RICH IS YOUR SOIL?”
 





In Science of Mind, we often explain the three sections of our teaching symbol as Seed, Soil, and Plant. We each know the importance of "weeding our mental garden", but what are we doing to enrich the soil, to allow the seeds we plant there to truly thrive? Join me on January 9th as we explore this rich terrain together.
 
Karen is a member of The New Vision Center CLS in Phoenix where she is a practitioner and ministerial intern. She describes herself as a creative analytic with a passion for establishing loving sacred space where ever she goes, and is grateful to be here today to share her gifts.  




SUNDAY JANUARY 16
REV. JEFF HARGIS
“THE INNER LABYRINTH & THE OUTER CROWD”
 



Jeff has been a student of New Thought from his early twenties ever since his father handed him the book “Illusions” by Richard Bach as if to say, “Tag, you’re it!”
 
Jeff has an eclectic background in business and technology and spent much of his professional career as a Business Analyst. Feeling the need for a career that would take him deeper into the heart, he let go of his work to pursue employment at his spiritual center while at the same time entering into ministerial school at Holmes Institute. He recently completed his program and is awaiting panels in February for the official Minister credential.




SUNDAY JANUARY 23

a step-by-step spiritual/psychological journey through her own trauma to triumph.
 
In 2018 marking one year after the Charlottesville protests that shocked the nation, Dr. Smith was the key note speaker in Charlottesville Virginia at the Eastern UNITY Conference with Marianne Williamson where they made it safe to talk about race, spirituality and healing.
 
Dr. Karmen understands the pit of un-forgiveness and the bliss of ONENESS. Her teachings are easy to understand and provides the needed guidance combined with loving encouragement.

“I get where I’m going by walking away from where I was.”

Lots of love,
Erin & Diane
Love and Light is a group of people who enjoy celebrating the goodness that exists in and around us. We have used two books for our discussions over the last two years. One is FROM AGING TO SAGEING by Miller and Schachter-Shalomi and the other is COMFORTABLE WITH UNCERTAINTY by Pema Chodron. Our small group has been together for about two years finding inspiration and support for what is going on in our lives.

WHEN: First Monday of the Month
TIME: 1:30 pm
WHERE: CSLP in Sibley Hall
Originally, we were a Circle formed to bring together those individuals who were volunteering for candle lighting and greeting. However, you don't have to be a volunteer in those areas to join our group. Contact Kay Krizek at (818)486-1888 or just show up! You will be heartily welcomed!
 
 We ALWAYS need volunteers to greet people at the door and to light candles during the service. Feel free to sign up on the table near the front door!
 
Kay Krizek
Please reach out for prayer, conversation and emotional support during this challenging time. We can only be there for you if you reach out and let us know what you need. Remember, we love you so much, and it's our pleasure to be there for you.

ERNEST HOLMES QUOTES

"Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning; that there is always another dawn risen on mid-noon, and under every deep a lower deep opens."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
There is a light and life at the center of all things and a consciousness that responds. This Imprisoned Splendor to the eyes that perceive it bursts like the glory of new dawn."
– Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind Magazine, January 1991
 
“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don't go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don't go back to sleep. Don’t go back to sleep.” - Rumi
Please remember CSL Prescott in your financial giving.
