Greetings!
I, you, he, she, we.
In the garden of mystic lovers,
these are not true distinctions.

"In form you are the microcosm,
but in reality you are the macrocosm."

 THIS SUNDAY
SCHOOL SUNDAY
July 27, 2014
10:30am-11:30am
"The Love That Moves The Stars"
with Rev. Ron Moor
Our theme for July is Opening to Love and The Sacred Marriage. We all know this is an inner marriage within ourself--bringing the opposites into compliments and engaging the world, and one another, as "Thou".
We will explore how we do this in our individual, materialistic world and so enter into the garden of mystic lovers with sacred chant, luminous images, and inspirational quotes.

Communicate with Love Reminder
Shared by Karen Greer
Found on a favorite blog
by Cheryl Richardson, a nationally known Coach,
in her weekly blog, titled "Reaction & Old Wounds"
When we act while feeling angry or upset, there's a good chance we'll just escalate a negative situation. After all, THE ENERGY WE BRING TO AN ENCOUNTER WITH ANOTHER PERSON INVITES SIMILAR ENERGY IN RETURN. You might want to read that last line again!
THE ENERGY WE BRING TO AN ENCOUNTER WITH ANOTHER PERSON INVITES SIMILAR ENERGY IN RETURN.
Reacting out of anger doesn't serve anyone and rarely is there a sound argument for responding immediately when something sets you off.
Better to step back and wait because you just never know what's happening behind the scenes.
In any given situation when buttons get pushed, there's a good chance that 75% of the reaction on both sides has nothing to do with present day circumstances. Instead, the intensity is a good indication that old wounds have just been reopened.
Instead, I ask myself a couple questions first:
- Do I want to be met by the energy I'm offering right now?
- Who can I talk with before I respond?
Life is hectic and overwhelming and busy for us all. The pace of society has trained us to react.
But reacting doesn't invite love. Love does!
