Dear Friends,
In his book "The Biology of Belief," Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. talks about all his research into the body's cells and how they are affected by our thoughts. Towards the end of the book, he said, "But I ran wild-eyed into the medical laboratory because the nature of the cell's membrane that was 'downloaded' into my awareness in the wee hours of the morning convinced me that we are immortal, spiritual beings who exist separately from our bodies." He further stated, "I had spent years studying molecular control mechanisms within the physical body and at that astounding moment came to realize that the protein 'switches' that control life are primarily turned on and off by signals from the environment...the Universe."
This is such exciting news for me because it solidifies my belief in my connection to a source outside of my body greater than myself and my belief in the oneness of all life. Our positive and negative beliefs not only impact our health but also every aspect of our life. When we realize that our beliefs are that powerful, that realization holds the key to true freedom.
The truth is, in the end, we see that we are not alone, that in fact, we are in constant connection with a universal power and presence beyond our comprehension. It is my experience that it is loving and positive. We can trust it because it is unchanging in its nature...the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.
In peace and love always,
Rev. Karen

WEDNESDAY EVENING MEDITATION
A group of us have been meeting now for a few years every Wednesday from 7:00 to 8:00 pm PST for an evening Zoom meditation. It is a beautiful way to center yourself weekly in peace and love. We have folks who live in Virginia, New York, San Diego, Big Bear, Simi Valley, and elsewhere. The wonder of Zoom is that you can join us from anywhere. Meditation is a beautiful avenue to self-awareness and self-empowerment. Contact me at karen@karenswylie.com to be included in our group.
See the flyer below. In the meantime, may every day be a blessing for you and yours.

I'm excited to let you know that Rev. Jennifer Berkeley and I will be doing a retreat on the east coast in October 2023. There is nothing more wonderful than exploring the sacred within us in a loving environment. We have found a beautiful retreat and conference center called the Wisdom House in Litchfield, Connecticut. It is a favorite time of year to travel back east because of the beauty of the change of seasons. For more information, check out the flyer below.

BELOW IS ONE OF MY RECENT WRITINGS FOR THE INNER VISION MAGAZINE OF THE AGAPE SPIRITUAL CENTER, AVAILABLE ON LINE AT AGAPELIVE.COM...
I am life itself!
Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river.
Lao Tzu
All my life I have believed in an entity that I called God, an entity that would look out for me and keep me safe—an anthropomorphic-like being outside myself. In my mind, this God always seemed to have human qualities that I could relate to and identify with which were “good.” Now I realize God is really an energy, a positive flow of ease and grace and goodness. This God energy is for life and never against it.
I believe that throughout time humans have needed the assurance of a God, sort of a human life-like being who would lead us out of the darkness into the light. There are Gods all over the world called by different names and worshipped by different people. I think as humans we have needed to believe in something outside of ourselves…some kind of leader, a God that would help us get out of the darkness into the light.
What an awakening to discover that my humanlike God is really a powerful energy force with which I have become so aligned. In letting go of my resistance and my feelings of separation (judgment, fear and doubt), I find myself in love with life and everything all around me. I find myself wanting to be free of resistance to what is. Things flow to me with the simple thought in mind of what I want. My only job seems to be to get out of the way of the divine flow of the universe.
I now know that what I have called God is truly within me. The power is within me. It is not an arrogant thing because in the realization of something so vast, so good and so life giving, I am truly humbled. I will continue to call this life force…this powerful energy…God because that is easy for me, but I now know that God is not outside of me. God is the fire and energy within me. What is true for me is true for all of us all over the world, no matter where we come from or the color of our skin. It only remains for each of us to discover this great truth for ourselves. That is our holy purpose in this human flesh.
As I let go of my judgments, my arrogance, my past disillusionments, I am set free to be. I am in love with life and all that is. I trust the universe and my place within it.
All I can say is hallelujah!
Affirmation
Hallelujah! I am home!
