November 26, 2014

 

Greetings!

 

 
In Esoteric Christianity we are reminded that as we emerge from Advent we begin an annual journey of new growth; from birth of the self we move toward maturity, accomplishing all we can in one cycle... From spiritual science we know we are on an annual journey to raise our vibration/consciousness to a new level.  So just as annually the Great Christ comes to the throne within the heart of the planet at Christmas time, for an intensification of the Earth's vibration, the self within us takes its place and illumines us during this holy time.
 
                                         ~ Carol E. Parrish

"Advent Means To Come"
with Rev. Carol Parrish-Hara 
  
Rev. Parrish and her teachings are the foundation from which Spirit United was built.  She has influenced and touched the hearts of many.  Her wisdom will envelop you.

Rev. Carol Parrish-Hara's Biography

Rev. Carol Parrish-Hara's Bio: Long recognized as an inspired spiritual leader and author, Carol's personal quest for spiritual awareness began when she had a near death experience at 24. She has traveled world-wide as a seeker and student of the ageless wisdom teachings.

Ordained in 1971, Carol left a promising business career to devote herself to her ministry and lecturing in the human potential movement and established the community of Sparrow Hawk Village near Tahlequah, Oklahoma. There she served as President of Light of Christ Community Church until 2009 and Academic Dean of Sancta Sophia Seminary until her retirement in June 1, 2010.  Since then, she is as busy as ever teaching, writing and conducting seminars all over the country.

Dancing With the Energy of Conflict & Trauma

with guest speaker  
Mark Embreit  
  
"Drawing upon his many years of work in peacebuilding and restorative justice throughout the US and numerous other countries, Mark will talk about peace not being the absence of conflict and trauma in our lives.  Rather, it is about being in the presence of conflict and traumatic events and finding peace within our heart.

 
LAST SUNDAY 
SCHOOL SUNDAY
November 23, 2014
 
    "The Yellow Brick Road"

 

On this School Sunday, Ron began by speaking about sacred symbols and how they are embedded in fairy tales. In the history of those times, the theosophical society's founders were bravely sharing their beliefs. Ron interpreted their work, "If we can access the origins of all of these creations, what they are built on, go beyond the cultural overload and access the deepest truths" we can find home.  Then, Ron walked us through the symbolism of the characters and events in the story, The Wizard of Oz.  Very interesting.  To listen, click here.

Workshop: The Call to the MysticRev. Carol Parrish
with Rev. Carol Parrish-Hara

Sunday, November 30, 2014 
1:00pm-3:30pm

$20 for all paid early registrations 
$25 for Non-SU members & at the door registrations

Register:  At SU or click here to contact the office. 

As we begin, we are dedicated; we study and be the best person we can.   With love and caring we open our hearts, live a life of hope and invoke right action as we do our best. Service is our outlet as we go deeper into privacy. In time as a true student of Life, we discover that while we did not seek to be a mystic, the path sought us. 
 
Carol will be giving the message at the Sunday Service  Nov. 30 as well.  Her message is entitled "Advent Means To Come."

Kundalini: The Force Within

with Chrism 

 
Sunday, December 7, 2014

12:30pm-2:00pm

Suggested donation $10 
Contact Rosemary by clicking here or calling 651-452-3161  

Chrism will talk about Kundalini as a natural phenomenon, a birth right of every human being. "Kundalini is the source of our true self beyond the body and into our divine qualities.... Kundalini is that gateway into becoming what God has destined for you to have at this time - enlightenment. It is very strong. It is very loving. It is self aware and has its own consciousness that has been waiting within you for the right time and the right information for you to bloom." ~chrism

 

Those present will receive information about Kundalini and its awakening as a natural process. They will also receive, as their own openness provides and judges appropriate for them, a transmission of energy radiating in a natural way from the speaker. 
~~~~~~~~~ 
Chrism came into life with a fully awakened Kundalini energy and speaks from his authentic experience. From his life experience and that of others, he has been guided and committed to teaching others, so that they have a safe, complete, and supported expression of their own Kundalini energy.
