Center for Spiritual Living Midtown

We are the Co-Creators of our life. We die daily to our old ways and have a new day. The future is unwritten. We are always at choice. As we continue our journey of change, each moment is an opportunity to make a new choice and create a better life. We each unfold from a Limitless Potential and can bring into experience anything that can be conceived. The past is not precedent. Through understanding and spiritual practice, we can break out of past patterns and behaviors and consciously write the unwritten narrative of our lives. 

Affirmation: Today, I write the unwritten chapter of my life free from the past and author the life I desire to live!

Longer days and warmer sun are such beautiful metaphors for the motion from inward examination, education, and growth – the coming to know that Life/God/Spirit expresses as us – to the outward greater expression of Oneness. It requires that we examine and reexamine old beliefs and paradigms about other people and the way the world works. The freedom to grow in understanding is modeled every year when the plants and leaves return.

Affirmation: I experience the freedom to BE the voice of Love I am called to BE!

Because each person is unique, there are an infinite number of ways to express and

experience humanity. Instead of limiting others to what we are most familiar or most

comfortable with, our job is to look for the Perfection in every person. When we can see

“The Face of God” in everyone and interact with them the way they prefer, we are

contributing to “a world that works for everyone.” The nature of the Divine Feminine

equips us to move out of the boxes created by human labels and recognize that all

human beings are Spirit expressing. Affirmation​: The Divine Feminine in me recognizes Spirit shining in, as and through every expression of gender identity.

…there is a Presence and Power greater than I am that nurtures and supports me in ways I could not even imagine. I know that this Presence is All knowing and All Power and is Always right where I am. So says Ernest Holmes our founder. Nurturing goes beyond the stereotypes of masculine and feminine into the realm of the infinite. You’re invited to join the adventure. Affirmation​: We now consciously recognize and accept Nurturing as Strength!​

Spiritual Law is very much like a womb. We impress upon the law our embodied ideas and like a fertile egg that is implanted by nature in the womb, the law receives our ideas and beliefs and begins to give life to them. Our part is to carry those beliefs and ideas, until Spirit midwifes them into full demonstration in our live. Affirmation​: I invoke the power of the Divine Feminine to unleash Its fierce loving givingness in my life now.

The New Thought lineage has a legacy of female leaders, and religious science was one of the first spiritual organizations to ordain women in North America. This week as we highlight this legacy we are lifted on the wings of those female spiritual leaders that came before. Affirmation​: Accepting and honoring the Divine Feminine within, I recognize my power to manifest, nurture and create community. Introductory Video

“We see the Divine Feminine beyond gender. It is the Givingness of Spirit to Itself. We recognize the Divine Feminine in all life. Our relationship with Spirit deepens as we recognize and celebrate the Divine Feminine as an integral attribute of all creators we call God. Affirmation: I am a being of Love and Light, Divine Feminine energy flows through me receiving and radiating Love. Introductory Video

Relationships are the spiritual paths to awakening and growing. As we experience ourselves in relationships we see more clearly where our growth lies.
