With God, all things are possible and there is nothing to fear. as we become open and receptive to the "Allness" of God's presence everywhere and in everything.

Sheila Johnson - Spiritual Leader

Carol Manson & Russell Brown
Everything is holy. Even eating an egg at breakfast. Think about where the egg came from. Then follow it back into the world. What did the chicken eat? Think about the chicken's food being fueled by the sun. And then think about the energy of the sun being contained in the egg you're eating. In that moment we see the nature of things is interconnectedness, which leads us to the next divinely inspired thought, "Everything is Holy." from Science of Mind Magazine . December 2013.

"Moving Toward Simplicity:
How Less Is More
" with Rev. Todd Glacy

Constant bombarding by external and internal stimuli can lead to confusion and conflict, leading to habits which can inhibit us from our highest good. When we become aware and take control of what we let in, we find that less allows access to more; more space to think clearly and intentionally process what we allow and hold in our conscious awareness. 

Picture
Music Inspiration with
Rev. Todd Glacy
In this talk, we examine how the process of stimuli - response works on a conscious and subconscious level. We can use simple awareness techniques to make empowered and intentional choices in our lives.

"A Window-Peeking Glimpse"
 with Sheila Johnson

​
A window-peeking glimpse of the depths of the world within, otherwise known as the eternal quest. In our search for the holy grail, we look everywhere in vain, but fail to look within ourselves. We may find a prophet or teacher who tells us of the world within. Instead of following them into the deeper experience, we worship, idolize, and make a "God" of that person. We then trap ourselves in a religious practice that has no "WITHIN".

"Luminous Eyes " with Sheila Johnson

​
Our human minds often try to limit God to personal comprehension. However much any one of us may know of God, there will always be unexplored fields in the realms of expression, and it is an evidence of our narrow vision to say: "This is all there is of God."'

An uneducated woman said, "Lookin' at God with one eye and this evil with the other is bein' double-eyed, and God told me to keep my eye single." As she spoke, her eyes were radiating an inner knowing that goes beyond human intellect.

"White Stone Ceremony"
​with Sheila Johnson

... is about naming (white stone) and claiming (letter writing). First we name it,  guided by our divinity, we listen and allow the quality that is seeking to emerge in new ways to be heard. Then we claim how that quality (and anything else we want to claim) will show up.

​Each person is presented with a white tile. Meditation helps you connect with your divine essence, Higher Self, Divine Mind--whatever you call God. We are invited to ask for guidance on what our word or words will be for the year that will represent our highest intention, or it may be a name that we hear for this new spiritual identity. That name is then written upon the white tile. We keep the white tile as a reminder of our intention.
