We are continuing our series of Robert Brumet's book entitled Birthing a Greater Realty: A Guide for Conscious Evolution. We began this exploration last Sunday by considering the call of  Conscious Evolution as the call to wake up from the dream that we are separate individual personas in order to realize the depth of our Oneness with and, as Spirit. From there we could  see that evolution doesn’t just happen to us, but through us. We are being called to wake up to the fullness that we are in Spirit in order to consciously participate in this pivotal stage of evolution. Doing this also expands (evolves) our consciousness. Ultimately, this is an opportunity to expand our awareness beyond its current limitations.  Brumet’s explanation of what keeps us asleep reveals a viable path to waking up, and a helpful understanding as to why this process feels so challenging. The answer lies in the limited nature of the mind itself, and our mistaken identity with it as who we are. As we be

This Sunday brings the start of a new series based on Robert Brumet's book entitled Birthing a Greater Realty: A Guide for Conscious Evolution.   The call to conscious evolution has been circulating for many years now. This need is based on the idea that humans have met the edge of our biological evolution.  " We have outgrown the need to survive through biological adaptation by learning to adapt our environment to meet our needs. We also have the unique ability to create an inner reality-within our mind. “Rather than adapting to the natural world solely through biological evolution we have evolved a brain that gives us the ability to create internal representations of the outer world. We are able to create an internal virtual world. And, we have developed the ability to manipulate our inner worlds in very creative ways” (Brumet, R, Birthing a Greater Reality , 2010, pg 17).   The crucial awareness we are being called into is that some of the maneuvering of that intern

This Sunday brings an exploration of the Power of the Month: Faith. The Twelve Powers were originally set forth by Unity Co-Founder Charles Fillmore. Our primary resource will be Divine Audacity: Dare to Be the Light of the World , by Linda Martella- Whitsett. You can think of these powers as your innate capacities or abilities that support you in navigating your life, with the ultimate purpose being to support the fullest expression of your spiritual nature. It is important to realize that we use these abilities whether we are aware of it or not. Our goal is to use them consciously, in support of our highest spiritual expression, which is to know and be the Light that we are as expressions of the Divine. This is what Jesus, our teacher and wayshower, demonstrated so fully and invited all who would listen to consider for themselves. Faith is our ability to believe, to perceive, and to bring ideas into manifestation. It is represented by the disciple Peter (Simon) and Mary, the Mothe

This Sunday brings the official close of the Christmas season with the celebration of Epiphany in the Christian tradition.   Epiphany commemorates the arrival of the Magi in Bethlehem, completing their faithful trek in search of the birthplace of Jesus, led by that brilliant star. The literal story is one of awe and wonder to be sure. The Magi, or wise men , were likely astrologers who had been studying the skies for signs and wonders; in search of wisdom and guidance. The appearance of that bright star over Bethlehem signaled to them that the prophesized King of the Jews had arrived. Thus began their camel trek of many miles,using only star as their guide in search of this newborn child, said to be the King of the Jews! Those details alone explain their joy and adoration upon finding him! It also speaks to the personal reward for having followed their intuition; trusting that the star was indeed their guide. Considered metaphysically, we find that this story also commemorates the pr
