A Day in the Mind of Our Father
We know that a day in the mind of humans is 24 hours, but in the Mind of Our Father a day is as 1000 years! There is no way for us to get around that as we say that Our Father's time is not our time, yet we act as if it is.
This is where you can check this out: 2Peter 3:8. Since the Scriptures do not lie, then this is where we must understand that ALL of the Scriptures speak Truth. It is not a thing of pick and choose what we want as Truth or that we can bring The Almighty God to think the way we think.
Let me ask you this. What is the meaning of "Almighty"? The Metaphysical meaning since we are speaking in terms of The Wisdom of Science of Mind will serve us well.
The Revealing Word by Charles Fillmore says: All-powerful; having all power or force to accomplish anything. All things are possible with God, because He is infinitely All-mighty. All the power, all the force, all the might of the Universe are God's; He is, in truth, Almighty God.
In The Wisdom of Science of Mind, we think of God as Absolute, The Unconditioned that which nothing can limit, thus, Our Father has given Creation His Great Mind and brought about much which even the mind of man still wonders about.
When we do not understand what Our Father has done, for some, the Scriptures become lies. I say to you to take a look at a single cell, its many parts, its wonders and you tell me that Our Father in 24 hours decided to simply snap His fingers and man was made.
Now take a look at the glands, which man is still trying to figure out what they do and how, and you will realize it took time to create man. However, if the Scriptures had stated that it really did take a thousand years to create whatever was created in six thousand years, would you be pleased to understand that perhaps a day really is like a thousand years? What would that do to you when you want to demonstrate?
In our First Year Classes we have asked this question, "If an Angel came into the class today and said you could live to be 1000 years young, would you be pleased and would you want to live 1000 years?"
We have had over 150 students which we have taught in our classes and only one student said they could do that as long as they were healthy. Can you imagine only one student out of more than 150 students? How about you who are reading this? Would you say yes to the Angel of God's Presence?
In the first place, it is difficult for humans to even believe that they can be totally healthy. I even had a student who jumped out of her seat and said, "Well, what am I going to die from?"
You see, we think of death as part of sickness or vice versa and health as something that is impossible. Some even think that if we leave this body temple, we must leave it because of some illness. What do you truly think?

Greetings!
The Willingness of Our Father
We, as a people, have the tendency of forgetting our promises when a crisis is over. We say all kinds of things that we will do, can do and may do and when the crisis is over, we forget what we said. We then go about our business and everything begins all over again.
God is so very patient and so very faithful. For what reason are we so faithless? Oh, if only we would listen to Our Father and the faithful words, the beautiful and joyful words that will and can save us from all consequences of errors.
However, He gave us authority to either accept or reject and we appear to use rejection to its fullest.
We hear so many who speak of a Heaven after this life and how everyone will go there no matter their errors on Earth, but what of the heaven that Our Father wants us to live here on this beautiful and wonderful Earth? O, if only we would stop the negation that appears to roam and rebel through every cell of our body. Is it possible to just let it go and forget the revenge? Is it possible to enjoy what has been created?
I inquire upon Him to open the deep, deep recesses of our heart and pull the strings there of beauty to open the door and clear the channel for the mightiness of Our Father's love to pour out over the land of our body making the road to serenity and tranquility straight and perfect before us.
Let the sea roll with the many wonders of what Heaven after this life is over and what heaven is here on Earth can be. Let me look out a different window. Oh, God, God, God show us gently what Jesus was telling us to do. I ask that You assist in moving the boulders and rock formations that we have placed there keeping us from seeing, knowing, feeling, touching and consuming with our mind's eye the beauty that is greater than anything we have ever seen.
Let us feel it in every cell, organ and with our whole mind. Show what it is to be like you. Free us, free us now and forever.
When in the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus said,
"Abba, everything is possible for You." (paraphrased-found in Mark 14:36) Show us everything! Show us all the possibilities and then assist us in realizing them. We know nothing is too good for us to experience, for we are created in Your image and after Your likeness. Let us see the Real You in ourselves.
We know it can happen!
In Divine Love and Delight,
The Reverends

 Worship Our Father in the Beauty of Holiness Part I -The Meaning of Worship This sounds simple enough, but you may find that it is more complicated than expected or one might say that it actually requires more than many of us are willing to enter into. In Part One, I will give you one way of how to worship Our Father that may be new to you. I first found this idea in Psalm 29:2, then in Psalm 96:9, I Chronicles 16:29 and in II Chronicles 20:21. I think the very first word "worship" needs defining and I would like to give you the Metaphysical definition given by Charles Fillmore in The Revealing Word. It states that "worship" is this: When one worships he bestows his love on, or identifies himself with, the things of Spirit. Worship represents the efforts of man to sustain a right mental attitude toward God. That is a fine definition, but we as humans have a tendency to forget the things of Spirit and worship all kinds of material objects of even people. From time to time we turn our worship from one object or thing to another and right now in our country it appears that we have turned that worship to guns. Even though it appears as guns, it is still tied into money, because guns when sold equal money. When we were trying to make or locate a building that was beautiful for WUC, we were trying to make the "symbol" beautiful, but no one could understand the purpose for a beautiful building or for beautiful furniture inside the building. It was told to us later when one of those Board Members left the area and joined another church told us that they now understood what we were trying to do. However, if you cannot make the outer symbol beautiful, how can you ever understand that the inner symbol, the inner consciousness must be beautiful? There has to be a practicing of beauty in everything that we do. Man's greatest investigation into understanding life and its beauty is the inner consciousness and in making it beautiful. Please understand that the word "man" means humankind. We can succeed, but it will take work. Most fight against a beautiful "Temple" or Church Building that is beautiful and never understand that the beautiful "Temple" or Church Building is a form of worshipping Our Father-through beauty. Do you now understand that your body is also a "temple"? However, it is the consciousness of an individual that makes for the beauty. Listen to what Peter says about a wife in I Peter 3:3-4: " 3
Don't be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on jewelry, or beautiful clothes, or hair arrangement.
4 Be beautiful inside, in your hearts, with the lasting charm of a gentle and quiet spirit that is so precious to God." Taken from THE RAINBOW STUDY BIBLE The Scriptures do speak of marring the body such as tattoos. I know that this will never bring infamy or fame to me and will no doubt cause one to say that I have gone nuts. The Scriptures, however, have levels of understanding and it is the deepest level or highest level that leads us to Our Father that we here at UWFellowship are most interested. Our teaching is always focused on Truth, which may be difficult for many to practice.
Let us reiterate the meaning of "worship" as a reverence that is promised or vowed to Our Father and Our Father only, for we are to put no other god before him. To worship something else would make it a god! Going to Church Services, Wednesday Night Prayer Services, Meditation, Contemplation or even Class Studies to become aware of Who and What Our Father is about and our relationship to Him are all forms of worship. We now know that "Beauty" is a way to worship Him if it is to show thanks, appreciation glorification with regard to the beauty about The Holiness of Our Father.
When the seasons change, let beauty be the first thing you see which proves Our Father knows what beauty is in nature. Practice worshipping Our Father by seeing the beauty He shows you this month. Join Us In: Through My Eyes Our Father Sees the Perfection of His Universe July for Part III Tension Relaxes in Truth and in Beauty August for Part IV Feel, Know and Experience the Melody, Rhythm and Beauty of Our Father September for Part V Let Your Mind Be Poised in Peace and Beauty October for Part VI Choose to Identify with Power, with Love and Beauty November for Part VII Put on True Holiness or Wholeness through Beauty |

Prove Me Now Saith The Lord God of Host
By Rev. Pat
If ever you develop the courage to give your entire life, everything that you think, do, all actions of every kind and all your thoughts to Our Heavenly Father, please, please let Him keep everything about you. It would be unwise to think of taking everything back. Let Him guide you. The I Ching has authorized it, the Scriptures have authorized it, Jesus authorized it and the Prophets authorized it. Don't you think it is wise for you to authorize it?
You know, as I have said before, it appears that Our Father uses the most unlikely persons to do His work. I recall the first time I attended a Seminar in which Dr. Joseph Murphy was a speaker and at the end he stood at the door to greet those who had attended.
This was a man that was packed full of spiritual knowledge with all kinds of ways to help anyone who needed assistance and to me he was a very spiritual person. What did I say? As I looked at him, I never told him of all his books I had read and the Truth statements I had used to help me, nor of the words he had just spoken that inspired me. I never told him how I was inspired by everything that he had accomplished. I never said that I had used his techniques, his prayers and how they had helped me to do the spiritual work I was doing. Instead all that I could see was his height and I said, "Why you are little!" He was only a few inches taller than I. I was amazed that so much spirituality was packed in that body!!!
Of course, Rev. Fred immediately shook his hands and changed the subject. To me, he looked tall on the stage. What did height have to do with any of it? That is the reason for this article. If I had given all my thoughts to Our Father then, height would never have entered my thoughts.
Since that time, it is a habit of mine to listen with an open mind, open thoughts and to fill my spirit with thoughts about what Our Father is trying to tell me. Thus, a person's appearance never enters. That individual could be bright purple and I would never notice it, because my mind is focused on what Our Father is saying to me through the person that is speaking for Him.
Whatever you hear and whoever speaks, afterwards go in prayer and ask,
"What I heard is this truly what you want me to know. Was all of it Truth?"
Then wait for your answer. Dr. Holmes would say,
"Prove what I have told you, but never try to disprove it."
I believe those are good words to abide by.
"Prove me now herewith said the Lord God of Host, that I will open the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing that there will not be room enough to hold it."
Prove it, prove Him even if God's word comes through one who is 2 feet tall, black as night and uglier than sin! Prove God! Prove that Servant's words from Our Father. Our Father will speak to you if you request Him to do so.

What Must We Do to Receive Eternal Life?
 A Wealthy man asked this question of Jesus, "Lord, what must I do to receive Eternal Life?" Jesus answered him by quoting many of the commandments. That wealthy man said, "I have kept those commandments all my life since I was a youth." Then Jesus told him, "Go and sell all that you have and give it to the poor. Come and follow me."
The man turned away sorrowful, because he was very rich, very wealthy. He had broken the very First Commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. We as humans have many gods and do not realize that they are gods that we have placed before The Lord God.
Jesus (Yeshua, Eashoa') came and gave us just TWO Laws: Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy mind and with all thy spirit, and the second is like unto it: Love thy neighbor as thy self. How simple, yet we find it so difficult to do. All that we have to do is to be in agreement with The Father. In other words, let your mind be the mind of The Father. Very simple indeed! I do not know how to say this except to simply say it. It concerns me what Our Father's Cosmic Laws will cause in the idea of what man is calling "same sex marriage". I am writing some things in caps and it is not yelling, but simply making a very important statement. There was a time when we could write in caps and those statements stayed in the mind of man and kept him safe. Turn to Our Father before it is too late. Honestly, I entreat you to do so.
God, Abba, First Cause, the Holy One,
blessed be He, The Only Power, The One Power made MAN and WOMAN to "multiply and fill the earth". Two men can never do that! Two women can never do that!
These are the "cities of the plain" that were destroyed because they had become an abomination unto The Lord. They had many problems of idol worshiping, killing, stealing, homosexuality just to name a few. These are the "cities of the plain" that were destroyed: - Sodom (Bab Edh-DHRA),
- Gomorrah (Numeira),
- Zoar (SAFI),
- Admah (FEIFA),
- Zebohm (KHANAZIR)
Do we want to take a chance on believing that: - These are made up stories
- There is no God
- God does not exist
- Homosexuality is not an error in judgment or a sin as some may call it
- That these "cities of the plain" never existed
- We can do what we want
- That obedience is a bad word
- That the Bible was written by man
There was a time when I questioned the idea that when Jesus took Peter, James and John with him higher on the mountain in the Garden of Gethsemane to stand watch while he prayed because his time on Earth was very near that he was terrified. I no longer question that, for I understand. He had done all that he could to get mankind to love The Father, but they were set on believing that he was evil and of the Devil. They liked the power that they were using-God's power used for their own aggrandizement. It speaks of his prayers being so intense that the sweat from his body became drops of blood. Man is a difficult species to teach, for he has been given power over his own thoughts and he has no idea how sacred his/her body is. As a result many errors are made and it appears that he/she still relies upon their own understandings. Jesus knew what would happen and prayed for all of us. I often ask Rev. Fred, "How many people would be left standing or living on Earth if all that are prejudice or hate, lie, cheat, steal, murder, commit what man calls sin if God would come forth and take those people, how many would be left?" He often says, "Not many. Not many." Now I ask again: Come and study with us: The Ancient Secrets of the Bible Check Our Website for the Topics Telephone for Location: 203-916-8287 |

There Truly Is Only One Power
By Rev. Pat
What do you feel when you read a topic like the above? Are you thinking about all the "worldly" powers on Earth and that they have power that must be recognized?
Surely, if you have taken any Courses or Classes in the Wisdom of Science of Mind, you will understand that even those who have power in this world that that power comes from Our Father Almighty. We all can use this power because we have the blessing from Our Father, who has given each one of us the authority over our own thoughts and over our own body.
This authority, however, never gives us power over another individual. The Cosmic Laws see to that. I stand firm that if we obey Our Father's Cosmic Laws, the laws made by man are automatically obeyed.
Trouble comes when we try to rid ourselves of Creator and say that He does not exist, thus we can do whatever we want.
I want to say here that there is one thing that I am returning to doing and that is using caps to point out what is important. It appears that it may be that Corporations have changed some of our English grammar to suit there cause and I find it difficult to abide by this.
When you read our Textbook, the Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes, you will find caps all through the book to point out important ideas that must be understood and no one is yelling at you.
Take this statement on page 40, paragraph 3, "....in this Mind; that the abstract essence of beauty, truth and wisdom co-exist in the Mind of the Universe; that we also exist in It and may draw from It. BUT WHAT WE DRAW FROM IT WE MUST DRAW THROUGH THE CHANNEL OF OUR OWN MINDS. A unity must be established, and a conscious connection must be made, before we can derive the benefits which the greater Mind is willing to reveal or impart to us."
The sentence that is written in caps is very, very important and definitely should by no means be considered "yelling". Without the caps, it can be construed as something normal that happens and we as humans understand that "normal" is thought of as unimportant!
Also, one may pay no attention to it and when a prayer has been prayed, one may wonder what happened if it fails to be answered. The reason is definite! What was drawn from it came into a mind that was flawed in perfect thinking. Thus, the Law worked, but in the mind of the thinker, the thoughts were either negative or one could not see deep within such beauty, truth and wisdom coming through them.
In order to change, we are to understand that there are things that we are to realize are very important in order to make changes particularly when our line of thinking is negative. If we want to change, we must change all our animal thinking into spiritual thinking. Each animal on Earth represents or is a symbol of a certain kind of thinking.
God gave us authority, therefore, if you want your prayers answered you are to be in total agreement with Our Father's way of thinking. The Creation is to be understood as perfection and each object here is a symbol to show us the "good" way of living. We are created above the animal and a little lower than the Angels. That puts us in a wonderful place for "His"... "Her" ... "Its"... or "God's" Power. Use it wisely is wonderful guidance.

The Gift Our Father Gave
I want you to know that when the Newsletter is late, most of the time it is that The Father has given knowledge to me that I am trying to figure out how to say it to you, our readers.
When we had Services each Sunday, my voice tone would tell you how I felt about a given subject as my countenance would also show, but your simply reading what is here and some of you not knowing me as a person may read into it the way you may feel about a subject and that many times is never what Our Father is trying to convey to you through me, His Servant.
I say all of that because Our Father gave a beautiful gift to man when he first created the male. Some take it that it was a 24 hour period, but some who were taught as we were that see a "Day" as simply a period of time. We all know that God's time is not like our time.
However, since we were given a limited knowledge in the School of Ministry of the Scriptures I have taken it upon myself to study the Scriptures and then question Our Father and Eashoa' (Jesus) what certain things mean and have received answers.
Many times changes within me had to be made and that also took "time". The Scriptures tell us that a "Day" is like a thousand years to Our Father, which makes more sense to me, yet I, too had to take time to become accustomed to this long length of "time".
The thing that has always concerned me is that so many think that the "boy", "male" or "man" is the gift and mostly a gift to woman. It has come to me that "man" was created because in all the creations, nothing was equal to or could be a companion to, or was what Our Father could converse with or for someone to commune with Him, so "MAN" was created.
After Our Father pronounced this creation "Good", after "time", He realized that it was "not good for man to be alone" and He put a deep sleep on Adam and removed a rib to give him companionship. He called this creation an "help meet" for Adam and Adam named her "woman".
Usually nothing is put in these Newsletters that I can't tell you where exactly I have researched and found the answer and after that is done, then it is given to you, but this time I failed to write it down. It may have been in the Books Banned from the Bible or in one of the Books of Enoch.
At any rate, from someplace I have the knowledge that the Angels were not pleased with God creating this spiritual being called "man" created in Their Image (God's Image) and told God that He would be disappointed in this creation. It was told that those Angels who disagreed with God were sent someplace? He also asked them to bow down to the creation of "woman".
There were some who refused and Lucifer was the one that said "NO". Perhaps, this is the reason that the most beautiful Angel, Lucifer, was put out of Heaven.
Now, what is "The Gift"? Let us understand this Truth: The male was created FIRST. God saw that it was not good for Him to be alone and SECOND He created woman.
We, as humans, are so enthused when a "boy" is born. However, when a girl is born we see something different! There are men who believe that they are God's gift to woman! The knowledge has come that if there is any gift, the GIFT IS WOMAN given to man that he may not be alone!
Please understand, I am not advocating worshiping women. God is the only Power that is to be worshiped, but I am saying that if man and woman are created in the Image of Our Father and after His kind, then each are to be considered important to Our Father, respected and cared about equally!
After all, if you treat woman badly, then you are treating that part of Our Father, the One who Nourishes us badly and if you treat the man badly, then you are treating that part of Our Father, the Director badly.
To nourish means to encourage, promote, cultivate, feed, reassure, support, foster or nurture. This is what Our Father does by way of the subconscious mind. To direct means to express, articulate, communicate, convey, prompt, specify, declare, assert, champion, establish, support by way of the conscious mind.
When the Scripture speak of directing woman, it is speaking of what the conscious mind is to do by programming (for the lack of a better word) the subconscious mind. If it were to be any other way, Our Father would have said so.
My earthly father would tells us girls that we were not to dress like men meaning that we were not to wear pants, yet the Scriptures show men in long robes, not pants. Even the soldiers dressed in short skirts, not pants, so it was difficult for me to understand what he was saying. We simply obeyed him.
When our son was 6 and our daughter about 2 years old, we were going to Ferndale Park in Los Angeles. Our son said to me as we were about to leave, "Mommies don't wear pants." I have no idea where he got that from, so I simply said, "Well, this mommy does!"
If you have any common sense available, let it come forth in full force and simply think about what is written here. However, I stand firm, if there is any gift given by Our Father it is the gift of woman to man that he may not be alone, but never to worship either-man or woman. Worship Our Father in the beauty of holiness!
In Divine Love and Wisdom,
Rev. Pat

for
May |
O Loving Father, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, Omnipotent One thank you for assisting me in being honest, true and always living in integrity. I ask that you show me how to never be bias or prejudice in what I see in your children or in the Universe. I know that my judgments can be true, for You guide me in all my ways. I know my thoughts are loving and kind and I practice true judgments every moment in my life. I know how to forgive myself. Thus, I know how to forgive others of their faults. I demand justice for my neighbor and for myself. This is the true value of life and I live it now. I now sow seeds of Divine Desire. Each day I become aware of the beauty of Our Father and His Holiness. It is now evident to me Who is behind my life and I know and feel Your blessings. I give thanks for all blessings, every wonderful thing that comes to me. I let joy fill my soul and I let beauty guide my paths of through mighty thinking. I let it be and so it is. Selah, Shalom, Amen.
