... Neither doubt nor fear can enter. You will be conscious only of the great omnipresence of God, where the light, joy, peace, and satisfaction of Spirit abide, where Truth reigns supreme... As your consciousness (awareness) expands, you touch the everlasting truths and you find that every blessing is abundantly added.
...In this realm, attention is given to concentrating the mind on Truth; the I AM, or inner entity is focalized on God's word until the inner meaning is realized and humankind is aware of a definite spiritual uplift. Persistent meditation on the Truth contained in the Word of God opens the mind to a greater inflow of Spirit... "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly."
Your thinking Truth zealously and affirming it audibly will dissolve error in consciousness and at the same time reveal greater spiritual illumination. In this consciousness appropriate [take] words of Truth. "Eat them," so to speak. Partake of that with which you form the spiritual substance and which will manifest itself in the Christ, or perfect body. Let "Christ be formed in you." Know that the Holy Spirit is filling your being with its illuminating, resurrecting power and that the all-knowing One shines in you as it did in Jesus and that you manifest greater and greater spiritual understanding.
When a person praises the Spirit of wisdom within, they expand and deepen and enrich their consciousness. As the Christ radiance lights a person's mind, they see with the inner eye and find that Truth is a never-failing light that makes straight the way.

Coming Soon...
Sky Nelson in Concert
Sunday, April 15, 12:30pm
Sky has played piano since the ripe age of 3, and guitar not long thereafter. He was born into a family that studied spiritually under Sri Swami Satchidananda, and this early influence has led Sky to a lifelong pursuit of spiritual knowledge. In college at UC Berkeley, Sky switched his focus from studying music to physics, all in deference to that same fundamental motivation: find deeper meaning in the world.
These three threads converge in his current work on the science of synchronicity. Living synchronicity everyday is Sky's spiritual practice. Sky's writing on the physics has been published in two publications and presented at other professional conferences. And Sky's music has been recognized and appreciated in the New Thought community and beyond. Sky is a winner of West Coast Songwriter's Song of the Year 2008 (Tied Up Tied Down), three-time winner of "Best Performance" and two-times for "Best Song" (Space for Uncertainty, Tied-up Tied-down). "Live in Love" (2010) and "We Are the Ones (We've Been Waiting For)" (2008) received awards in the Indie International Song Contest.

Closing
Enjoy listening to Rev. Jim Marshall at church this week, and I'll be back with you on March 18th. We're in the midst of the Lenten season, so after my weeks of travel and classes, that seems like a good day to look at what the Sabbath means in our lives. I'll see you then!
Blessings, Nita
