You can desecrate but never lose the Divine Spark

Possibility is not real at its origin.  It's something
we create as real and then stand for as a reality.

A Little About Rev. Denise Schubert

Denise is an ordained Religious Science minister licensed through Centers for Spiritual Living since 2003.  Her ministry has taken her from service to the Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles, the Church of Religious Science in North Hollywood, the Bodhi Spiritual Center in Chicago and where she landed as the the Senior Minister and Spiritual Director of the Triangle Center for Spiritual Living in Raleigh, North Carolina for nine years--retiring from the post in 2016.

She recently came out of retirement and relocated to Florida to serve as the Spiritual Director for the Open Path Retreat Center in Cape Coral.

With humor and a unique ability to simplify complex spiritual ideas and concepts, she is committed to inspiring, educating and empowering each person she meets to live and extraordinary life with increased power, poise and confidence through the teachings of Science of Mind and other new thought/ancient wisdom philosophies.

Possessing Divine Qualities

By Ernest Holmes

Man sends forth his thought to coalesce with other thoughts in the Creative Medium of Mind.  Mental combinations are made as his thought picks up other  thoughts for which he has an affinity; thus, form is produced and cast into his experience.
Thoughts, like germs, must find a congenial soil in which to take root, to germinate and grow.  The thought of the race is held in solution in mind and race suggestion is a very real thing.  We tune into it and draw back that to which we vibrate.  Hate begets hate and love draws its own to itself as though the hand of God had brought it.
How wonderful is man's dominion, how fraught with limitless possibility!
This God Principle in us is the reality of our natures.  It is the power by which man holds dominion over palm and pine.  Perhaps the Mind of God is like the ether of the physical universe.  When electricity passes through a wire, it is a vibration in the ether which circulates between the atoms of copper.  So, it seems to me, thought passes through the ethers of mind to produce form, to attract or to repel. ...
Right now we are connected with our good, but we must whisper the message of our desire into the Creative Medium of soul.  The answer will come back to us as the image of our thought recognizes it reflection in the pool of the spiritual Substance, which is forever held in solution and which is forever ready to take form.  In the same way, we are connected with the past, the present and that future that we may give birth to if we will.

Excerpted from "The Power of Creative Consciousness," published in the February 1950 issue of Science of Mind. (Reprinted from the Science of Mind Magazine, Guide for Spiritual Living, May 2019 Newsletter #2.)
