Beloveds,

This month we participate in a “Wholly Holy Uprising”. Not the violent kind, but the upward movement of our collective consciousness. Change is always happening and whether it is mostly painful or joy-filled is up to us. What would it look like if that rising up was entirely sacred or Wholly Holy? In order navigate change in a holy way, in a way that is filled with poise and confidence, we must have great faith in what is directing the change. That faith is best placed not in the humans who seem to be in charge (although it’s always better to have trustworthy leaders) but in the Invisible Intelligence that has always behind creation.

In A New Design for Living, Holmes talks about the intricate order within snowflakes, within tree rings, within leaves and cells and stars. In each case, as we look deeply at the Divine Order inherent in the physical world, we see a vast Intelligence at work that has never failed. We know there is a mathematical precision that allows a finite set up elements to combine in an infinite number of ways to create not only all the physical world, but all of the different personalities and situations in the human world.

This month we rise up in our perspective and take a God’s eye view of the world. We see that all that has been and all that is becoming is part of the Divine, is perfectly Sacred, and is Wholly Holy.

Greetings to everyone.

The CSLP Board has appointed and welcomes Tom Smith, our newest member-at-large; we look forward to working with him.

As we move into May, we move ever closer to a physical re-opening of the Center, now that our new internet system is ready for installation. Your Board has continued its monthly meetings online, and eagerly anticipates seeing familiar faces in person soon. Stand by for further details!

This month we celebrate Mother’s Day. Ernest Holmes says in The Science of Mind “...anyone who lives in harmony with the Truth...becomes...the mother of all...God is The Androgynous Principle, the Father and Mother of all. Our earthly parents symbolize this heavenly parentage.” (P 440). I extend warm wishes to all our mothers, fathers and grandparents - and to those who stand in for them. Thank you for your guidance, inspiration and love!

Blessings to All,

Kyra Molitor (Board President)

Bible stories are an important part of our western heritage. They have survived for two to six thousand years and are woven into the way we view the world. They tell us what to believe about ourselves.

In this 8-week online class “Metaphorical Approach to the Bible”, come join Hazel Bowman, RScP, as together you explore some of the stories in Genesis, Exodus, Samuel, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and your reaction to them, perhaps finding that some of the stories are metaphors for certain parts of your own life.
