Reaching Higher - Rev Dr Bob Deen

What is our growing edge personally, and as a movement? How are we expanding our understanding and application of our principles to include all aspects of our lives, including our engagement in our world and our perceptions of the collective Good of the planet? How are we being called to reach higher and push past our comfort zone? How do we do that and remain centered and grounded in the truth of our being that we are the opportunity for Life, Spirit, to express itself? Tall trees require deep roots.
Affirmation:  I believe in myself because I believe in God.

Is Your Commitment Greater Than Your Resistance? - Rev Dr Bob Deen

One of the greatest stumbling blocks in any man’s spiritual advancement is dishonesty; the refusal to honestly face an idea if that idea happens not to please him.  This comes in part from the human tendency to take the line of least resistance, whether it be in our physical endeavors or in the operation of our mind.  Confronted with an idea that repudiates one we have held for years, we go far out of our way, entirely around the idea, to keep from being compelled to analyze and possibly to absorb it. Our cry is: “I do not like to believe that!” Back of this is the fear that an idea may be forced into our consciousness which will uncover to us our own responsibility. – Ernest Holmes, It’s Up to You
Week’s Affirmation: I commit to the highest vision for my life. 

We Hold These Truths... - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Unity is the song of life; it is the grand theme underlying the rich variations that exist throughout the cosmos. Whatever we see, whatever we experience, is only a manifestation of this eternal oneness. – Sherry Evans
