We know that Spiritually empowered people live richer, fuller lives, so we use our teaching, the Science of Mind, to Inspire Lives, Open Hearts, and Empower Lives.

November Affirmation

Wherever I am, I listen with my soul

and give space for the unspoken to arise.

Every encounter deepens my empathy

and offers an opportunity to love.

I practice empathy in actions, words, decisions.

Minister's Corner

During the month of November, we will be exploring the idea of empathy, and how we can expand it in our lives and our world.

It helps to consider empathy NOT as something we DO, but as something we ARE. We can practice it so fully it becomes a way of being. It is an authentic way of creating connection with everyone around us.

I have a pretty good inventory of all my own stories, especially the ones around how I got wounded. Why is it that I do not realize that every single person I pass on the street has a similar litany of experiences they are dealing with, as well?

Maybe they are just as lonely as I am.

Maybe they are clinging to their “last” ray of hope.

Maybe they could use a smile just as much as I could.

The beauty of this teaching is that there is One Source Energy behind everything that is. That we are all cells in the body of the Universe. That, underneath all the external appearances, we are One!

Let’s explore empathy, and how to make it a way of being!

Affirmative Prayer by Danu, RScP

There is one Divine Source of all that is. This Source created everything out of itself and continues to do so in every moment. Its process of creation is instant, effortless, and completed with ease. As a piece of all that is, I know that I too am made of this Divine Source. It created me out of itself, and by doing so, blessed me with the power to continue this process of creation as an expression of Source. I know that there was no struggle in the creation of myself. Source created me in an instant, with ease, immaculately. The thought of my existence was put forth to the universe, and there I was, and here I am now. As the creative expression of Source that I am, I know that I was given the power to manifest the life I choose to live with ease. Source has delivered everything in my

life to me with ease. All the friends, lovers, homes, teachers, jobs, solutions, insights, and more have all shown up in my experience in an instant, effortlessly, as soon as my consciousness said, “Yes.” So with this knowledge, right here, right now, I choose to say, “YES!” to ease in my life experience. Heaven always has been and always will be of my true nature. I choose to succeed with ease. I choose to love with ease. I choose to grow with ease. I choose to be healthy, happy, and whole with ease. Source takes care of the “how” and answers my call now. I celebrate and give thanks for the ease that is my life experience. I release this treatment into the Law of Mind that makes it so, AND SO IT IS!
