“Homesick for Sacred Space”

Reflections with Christina Ahlen, MS, MASM

“At the great heart of humanity there is a deep and awful homesickness that never has been and never can be satisfied with anything less than the clear, vivid consciousness of the indwelling presence of God.”

~ Emilie Cady, Lessons in Truth, Ninth Lesson

Please join Christina Ahlen in her reflections on our monthly theme of “Sacred Space.” In this talk, she will delve into the importance of co-creating sacred space in all the places we call home. As we heed our basic human needs for safety, and for well-being, we will be guided in the out-picturing of our homes away from Home.

Here, we establish both a safe space for others, as well as a “launching pad” for our spiritual explorations into the Stillness. When we take deliberate time apart, we open ourselves to the experience the indwelling presence of God, only to return to our everyday life with new inspiration, courage, and empowerment, forevermore expressing this awesome sense of Belonging with all that is, sharing it with those around us, gently soothing our shared homesickness, at least for a little while...

UNITY LENDING LIBRARY

Do you follow Edgar Cayce?

We have 23 books written by and about him in the lending library. Edgar Cayce (pronounced Kay-Cee, 1877-1945) has been called the “sleeping prophet,” the “father of holistic medicine,” and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. For more than 40 years of his adult life, Cayce gave psychic readings to thousands of seekers while in an unconscious state. The majority of his readings deal with holistic health and the treatment of illness. Learn more at edgarcayce.org
