Greetings!
If we wish to make a new world we have the material ready.
The first one, too, was made out of chaos.

This Sunday's Service
School Sunday
 September 22, 2013
"Materiality, Where Soul
Comes into Form"
with
Rev. Ron Moor
What is Soul? Does/can Soul take form? Try this definition: things are gathering places of Soul and have the purpose of creating a world in which life takes place. Some would say, the water bearer of Aquarius is pouring Soul substance into the world. They might also say, to perceive Soul in the world requires imagination, of the heart. Join us and we will seek to open into the imagination of our hearts that we might better see, and feel, the presence of Soul all around us. Luminous images and sacred chant will support the words and concepts this day.

This Sunday's
Kids With Spirit Program 
September 22, 2013
This week: The Real You
We will talk about spirit - the God within each of us and coming to Earth, choosing our parents and our circle of protection. We will continue to paint masks and more.
Theme: Living My Story
Mantra: If I want to know God, I must know myself; If I want to see God, I must see myself;
If I want to love God, I must love myself.
~ Nahko Bear, Medicine for the People

Next Sunday's Service
September 29, 2013
10:30am-11:30am
"The Christ Mystery and
the Human Ego"
with
James Ulness
In these urgent times of conflict throughout the world, religion contributes more than its share to the rising tension. Many people within the different religions are playing out a variation of school-yard taunting behavior. "My dad is stronger than your dad" is substituted with "My Lord is better or truer than your Lord." A deeper understanding of the Christ Mystery and the human ego would lead to greater peace and harmony. Come and explore the mystery and ego to be better conduits of peace and harmony.
|
"Joy in the Morning"
with guest, Gloria Karpinski
What a glorious morning to remember the essence of us is love and joy. Gloria encouraged us to let go of what we don't need including attitude and memories. We need to plan for joy for future generations, as the Native Americans plan for 7 generations out. Our souls chose when to come by noting "I can grow and participate in that (the current shift)." There are four energies for transformation: visionary energy--these people often get "crucified"/killed because they are on the growing edge, so far ahead of others; rebel energy-these people say, "I don't like ...." and stand on the front lines loudly or quietly yelling change; bridge-builders- they are practical with their feet grounded in how things work. They begin with themselves and then others and make it happen; and, conservatives-those people focus on preserving the good that has accrued and take the best forward by putting the new order into place.
Be sure to connect with Gloria's work at her website. Due to recording problems only about one quarter of the service was recorded to listen click here. |

The Matrix of Healing
Tuesdays, Oct. 1 - Dec. 11, 2013
(11 weeks)
7:00pm-9:00pm
$30 per week for total fee $330
or $300 if paid at first class
To be a healer, to be whole, we must first find our voice and be able to speak our truth compassionately. The 5th chakra, or throat center, opens us to the first "God Power" -- sound silence and logos. As we develop this center, we learn to work within the "Matrix" of the physical and etheric bodies. We will learn to bring forth from within and from beyond, powerful sounds of healing. We will work with sounds we create using instruments like drums, rattles and bells. Then, we will combine these healing sounds with the "Matrix" hands-on energy technique as we grow our ability to be of service.

Jesus, the Three Marys and Sophia
with Ron Moor
 Thursdays, Oct. 3 - Dec. 19, 2013 (11 week Spiritual Foundations Course)
10:00am-noon
$30 per session - $330 total
or $300 if paid at first class
Register: Contact Ron by clicking here or calling 952-929-1559
Recently, popular books have eluded to Jesus working in partnership in his work bringing together the mystery of divine feminine and divine masculine. Rising up from more than 1700 years of suppression, the feminine trinity of the Three Marys is reappearing in this time of change and challenge. This knowledge or gnosis is desperately needed. In this course, we will walk a path of initiation through five stages of spiritual unfoldment to achieve a new level of balance between Word and Wisdom. It will be experiential and include handouts and spiritual exercises.

 William Henry
"The Path of Souls:
Journey to Ascension"
Fri. Oct. 11 7pm-10pm $30
Sat. Oct. 12 10am-6pm $175
for both Fri. & Sat. $225
To register or for questions: Call community member Anita Collodoro 952-221-6372 or click here to email.
This is a soul empowerment workshop. "New Age" ascension material tends to "candy coat" what ascension is really. This will bring out the core issues and help the participant to really understand the importance of focusing on developing our light body or "future self". This workshop will help you see the light body with clarity so that you can connect with its energy.

Members' (and Friends') Corner

 Peace Warriors by Gloria Karpinski
The Aquarian seal is broken.
Now comes forth renewing water from a Hidden Font.
Dissolving pearls slip into the common sea.
Again the Message telegraphs itself into the one mind.
It whispers as it rolls through our dusty despair.
Can you hear? Can you hear?
Its tortured cries rise from the blood-soaked
Land; long after the silence.
It screams from the throats of our longing children.
Who can hear? Who will hear?
I am your Life. There is no other.
Who will know this Truth? Who will be this Truth?
In every space, black, white, red, yellow,
Hearts quiver, quicken, ignite.
Remembered now the Sacred Covenant;
Accepted now; the flaming Sword of Light.
As sunbeams carry the signature of the Sun,
So do the Warriors of Truth bear witness of the one life.
They hear. They see.
Again they cry: Prepare the Way.
What rare nativity birthed such Souls?
Surely they shine from some distant star unmarred by pain.
Not so.
No super race carries the Aquarian trust.
It is we who hear and see.
We of the Divine Hybrid-human-god, god-human,
Tried, fired and tempered in the human evolution,
Burned out on desire and separation,
Weary from millennia of dancing the frenzied tunes of Maya.
It is we who now become the Warriors of Peace.
We are here and we are ready.

IT WAS A SMASHING SUCCESS!!
Spirit United's
Playing By Heart:
Concerts With Conversation
Saturday, September 14, 2013
The evening with Mary Louise Knutson, jazz pianist, in conversation with James Schattauer was magical. Ms. Knutson sang her fingers across the keys expressing from her heart favorite pieces written by other songwriters as well as her original compositions. What a pleasure to have dialogue giving a glimpse to the person behind the keys creating the beautiful music. It could have gone on for hours more.
Mary Louise shared with me that she is very excited about this Playing By Heart format and is certain it will continue to grow as our greater community learns about it and becomes willing to change or add a new venue to their life. Watch for more concerts to come and spread the word!
