The Quest for Happiness
Ministers

Our Father is so wonderful and our soul is so precious that it is difficult to express what knowing God can really mean in your daily life, for God is in us all.

If you have ever taken any Science of Mind Classes, we are certain that you understand what we mean by our statement.
 
Living life victoriously is just one way, but living it preciously is the utmost any individual can do.
 
We believe that this is what the Founding Fathers had in mind when the Declaration of Independence was written and signed.
 
It is up to each individual to understand what Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness really means.
 
We believe that each of us has the authority to define what that means.  This is your quest.
 
Enjoy your Day of Independence.

Is There Such a Thing as An "Enemy" in Our Way of Thinking?
By Rev. Pat
 
The only enemies that we will ever have are those we have planted in our subjective mind, the subconscious mind.  We have set ourselves against ourselves by sowing seeds of envy, jealousy, hate, discord, dis-ease and all the other negatives.
 
Yet, when things do not go right some blame others for their troubles.  If you have a Bible take a look at Psalm 35 verses 1-3.  In verse 3: "...say unto my soul, (the soul is the subconscious mind, the subjective mind, the mind that guides you like a jet plane on auto pilot) I am thy salvation."
 
This is very clear.  This is very, very clear that the Bible, the Scriptures really are a guide for us.  However, we do not see this if we are clothed in "literal" translation, "literal" understanding.
 
We at Universal Wisdom Fellowship say to you, "Allow Our Father God to lead you gently into Truth.  It is wise to stop fighting the One who is for you, the One that can never be against you.  Be unafraid, for He loves you dearly and above all else, we are to love the Lord, thy God more than anything else and then all else will be added unto you."  
The Book of John
beginword.gif
What are the very first words that are in the Book of John? 
  • The very first words are:  In the beginning was the word!
  • Whose word?
John is speaking about the "Spirit" of this One Power.
  • What else did John say?  He said: "The word was God!"  (Check out The Scienceof Mind by Ernest Holmes page 38 paragraph 2)
 
 Oh my,  Did we get that?  Do we understand that?
How are we going to let what John told us live in us, express through us?
Maybe this way:
 
Let all thoughts of what "I" look like go, the fact that my skin is darker.  Let all that go.
  1. How would it be if we let go of all thoughts about prejudice dissolve into the nothingness from whence they have come and simply listen to the words.
  2. They are the words about God.
I cannot and will not hurt nor harm you, because whatever I say to you and about you happens to me first and I certainly love life and this Spirit that we are encouraged to worship.  (Check SOM textbook page 56 paragraph 4 for understanding how to speak the right word at the right time)
 
We do not realize how much prejudice is embedded in our consciousness.  (We speak of this as 'negation' -- Check SOM pages 354.2 to 355.2)
 
I did not write the words in the book of John.  In fact they are the words of Truth.  They are the words of God.  In fact they are the words of a Power Higher than me.  I had to listen to the same words.
 
Troward tells us that if we want to change things, we must understand that the essence of Spirit is Life, Love and Beauty.
 
The only way that the Spirit can work through us is by whatever consciousness we give it to work through.  Until you and I understand that, we will continue down the road of stress, strain and struggle.
 
Please print this out so that you can look at it everyday and embrace it if you choose.  Try to understand the words above.  I know that we are a people who want things now, our way, but Truth is not that type of embodiment that we can treat in this manner.  It takes knowledge, then, comes the understanding and lastly Divine Wisdom which must be filled with Divine Love.

Is God a "Church?"
GodWeightsHeart01s 
received an email regarding four words omitted in FDR's speech announcing the attack on the US in Oahu.  The quote begins with the first paragraph and ends with the 12th paragraph excluding the lines that tell where the bombing was done.
 
When emails that are forwarded are received, they are always researched for Truth.  What was found first stated it was false.  Further research found the actual speech.   You can hear full speech by President Roosevelt at this email address and decide for yourself: http://www.radiochemistry.org/history/nuclear_age/06_fdr_infamy.shtml
 
It may be a grave mistake to remove God from our country.  Our country may or may not have been founded on the principles of the Bible or on God or Christianity, but there is one thing we do know and this:  Everything belongs to God and God is everywhere present.  He is in everything.  He created the whole Universe and He can never be separated from His Creation.
 
This thought has come to mind because at no time have I seen it anywhere or heard it at anytime that anyone has asked God to help them or show them how to stop the oil spill.
 
It is amazing that if the threat of losing thousands of lives came true, we would gather for prayer, but we hesitate to pray to prevent lost of lives.
 
When God was going to destroy Sodom, he told His servant Abraham what He was going to do.  Abraham knew his nephew Lot lived in Sodom and that Lot was a good man.  However, he was concerned about all the people who lived in those "Plains Countries."  He questioned God that if there were 50 righteous people in Sodom would He destroy it?  God said that He would not do it.  Abraham kept asking until he came down to 10 people and God said that if he found 10 righteous people He would not destroy it for ten's sake.
 
The thing is, only 4 righteous people were found in Sodom.  Thus, Sodom was destroyed.  The other cities of the Plain were Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Bela (Zoar) and they, too, were destroyed.
 
I often ask my husband, "What if some strange mist was sent by God or a Higher Power to save only the righteous people on earth, how many people would be left?"  You know Proverbs says in chapter 21 verse 2 that
"Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord pondereth the hearts."  
 
This is Something to Think About.

 There are so many skeptics regarding the Bible and the leadership it gives.  The wonderful things that happened in the Bible, we can attest that they are happening right now, today in our lives.
 
Come and be a part of becoming aware of how to interpret the Scriptures metaphysically, what the Fellowship has to say about the Scriptures and how you fit into each day Our Father has created just for our entertainment and enjoyment.
 
We meet the 3rd, (third) Sunday each month.
