As the individualization of Spirit takes place,

It penetrates the finite consciousness,

It saturates the human personality with

The essence of Its own being  

and radiates a power

And reality that is sublime.  

"Call upon me and I will answer".

"Act as though I am and I will be.

God -in man, as man is man."

 

 

From Can We Talk to God  by Ernest Holmes  

  

   

Your Sacred Journey from Head to Heart

 

What the Mystics of all ages have experienced is a direct connection with the Divine. The guru, the rabbi, the priest and minister can only point the way. Nothing can replace your own personal connection to the Divine. In the quiet of your own heart, when the cares of the day are through, listen for the still small voice sing a caressing love song - "YOU are the darling of the universe. Do not fear; I am here."

 

We feel the Divine in the awe -inspiring vistas of nature. The sublime colors painting an Ojai sunset. The Pacific ocean pounding our beaches. Whispy clouds passing overhead. A majestic tree dropping its Autumn leaves.

All report: "You are loved; you are safe."

 

Rev. Marilyn Miller

Thank you to Joyce Huntington for providing her painting Space of Love for the service last week. It was much appreciated. 

 

Joyce Huntington, was born in Seattle, WA, but spent most of her formative years in the desert southwest, where as a precocious, dance-obsessed child, she faced a near-death bout with polio. No longer able to dance, her creative spirit found new expression in painting. For the past decade she has devoted herself to painting only what she sees in meditation. She and her husband, Gerry Stanek, own and operate Frameworks of Ojai.

 

 

Many thanks to the thirty people who shared their ideas to help build the Beloved Community at our Spiritual Living Center. Many excellent ideas were suggested and the Team Captains and individual Teams will meet in the next few weeks. Remember, it's not too late to join a team if you were not there Sunday, just call the Captain of the Team you would like to participate in. If you have any questions, please call volunteer coordinator Randee Vasilakos, 310-722-1933 or email her at: Spiritualtourguide@gmail.
