The Power of Grateful Receptivity - Rev Dr Bob Deen

We are constantly receiving from Life. We receive air when we breath, sustenance when we eat, love in relationships and goodness of all kinds. Expanding our ability to receive with gratitude and appreciation is one way to expand our experience of the goodness of life. Receptivity includes receiving gratitude from others in the circular exchange of giving and receiving.

Gratitude: The Practice - Rev Dr Bob Deen

A most simple and profound practice that will change your life quickly and in definitely measured ways is the Practice of Gratitude. More than just saying thank you, the practice of gratitude is a simple thing that can be practiced anytime and anywhere. It is the art and science of appreciating that value that we receive each day. By appreciating we expand our awareness of how much we are given and in doing so we expand what is offered. Gratitude is proven to change our brain chemistry, increase our happiness, our consciousness of prosperity, and create positive and meaningful relationships. Lets talk about this practice and take the month of November to build our Gratitude Muscles. You’re Invited.

You Are Enough! - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Enough what? Enough love, enough power, enough goodness, enough right ideas to express a wonderful life of freedom and prosperity. For many people, freedom and prosperity are synonyms. Whether true for you or not, it is important to understand the meaning of prosperity for yourself. To be effective in creating your desired change, that meaning must come from fullness not lack, from the recognition of what we are all made of and what we can do.

Acceptance: the Key to Prosperous Living - Rev Dr Bob Deen

The first step in changing anything is accepting what is. Where prosperity is concerned that means acknowledging what we have, where we are in the larger scheme of things, and where we want to be. This may include understanding ideas and attitudes that are drawing things to us or pushing them away. It is the nature of Life to offer itself freely to its creation. For us, this means the opportunity to accept, receive, and celebrate what is offered.  You’re invited. 

A Bun Dance: Celebrating the Abundance of Life - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Tapping into the power of what is already ours, Abundance is all around us and showing up everywhere. Too often we get caught up in thinking we are missing something or must find a way to “get” abundance – while the real power is in recognizing and revealing the abundance that is bursting from our lives. Celebrate abundance everywhere… you’re invited.

The Oneness in Nature - Rev Dr Bob Deen

From Forest Baths to squawking birds, nature is part of the same system of life that we are. At calls to us from every direction. “Here is spirit. Here is love. Here is support. Here is life.” Welcome it, embrace it, as an expression of the One Infinite Intelligence calling out to you.  Musician: Harpist Monica Hargrave

“Find me one person who knows how to talk to God, really, and I shall walk with him through the woods and everything that seems inanimate will respond—the leaves of the trees will clap their hands, the grass will grow soft under him.” –Ernest Holmes

† All quotes are from the short “Final Sermon by the Sea” delivered by Dr. Ernest Holmes at Asilomar in Pacific Grove, CA in 1959. The use of the masculine pronoun is his and was the common practice of the day despite the clear inclusive intention. We retain them here to be true to his quote.  The sermon is available from Science of Mind Archives.

What Would Love Do? Rev Dr. Bob Deen

Ours is not a passive teaching. There is a call to action stemming from our own desires and from our world. Our response to the call is our response to the question, “What would love do?” I dare you!  

“Find me someone who has given all that he has in love, without morbidity, and I will have found the lover of my soul. Is not this true? Why? Because he will have revealed to me the nature of God and proved to me the possibility of all human souls.” –Ernest Holmes †

Celebrate the Good in All Life - Rev. Dr Bob Deen

So many people are looking for someone or something to redeem them save them and they usually look outside of themselves. The real power of redemption lies within us. It is embedded in our freedom to accept and celebrate our uniqueness as our goodness. It is passed on as we celebrate the unique goodness of everyone else. It's simple; just do it.

"Find me someone who has redeemed his own soul, and he shall become my redeemer." --Ernest Holmes †

What Do You Stand For? - Rev Dr Bob Deen

Our lives are shaped far more powerfully by what we stand for than what we stand against. Infinite Creativity can only take positive action on our behalf based on what we affirm and hold as true and real. For instance, a stand for prosperity has power to bring prosperity into our lives and that of others. A stand against poverty brings only frustration, a sense of oppression, and has not real power. Join us as we explore standing for truth, love, peace, power, and prosperity. It will show up in your life.

“Find me one person who is for something and against nothing, who is redeemed enough not to condemn others out of the burden of his soul, and I will find another savior, another Jesus, and an exalted human being.” ——Ernest Holmes
