CHURCH OF SPIRITUALITY

All are welcome. We are using the symbolism of the Christmas message inclusively, pertaining in general to all faiths and spiritual belief traditions, for WE ARE ALL IMBUED WITH DIVINE LIGHT AND UNITED IN DIVINE LOVE.  
 Annette Dion - minister

Please take this time to settle yourself into a comfortable, peaceful space as we begin our sacred hour together.

PRELUDE: MUSIC
The spiritual mind treatment prayer for today continues to be a prayer for protection and healing in the United States. Remembering that we are ALL connected, this prayer includes all of Earth’s peoples. Healing one country contributes to the healing of everyone.

PRAYER FOR HEALING
God is all in all, the Divine Presence that is everywhere. There is no spot where God is not.

We declare that we, the people of the United States, along with the rest of the world, are One with this Divine Presence.

Divine order is working through the situations of divisiveness and the appearances of hatred.

We know and experience that everything is always happening for the ultimate outcome of healing and rebirth everywhere.

Darkness that has been manifest is now fully removed and dissolved. Those who had out-pictured hatred and vitriol are now stopped in their tracks. We see evidence now that the Light is presently in the process of eliminating evil - stopping all violence; healing and protecting this and all nations. Enemy countries that may have received United States secret information find that it has been rendered useless. Potential plans for any and all attacks are stopped. Harm to the people simply does not occur.  Domestic terrorist extremist groups and individuals drop their arms and weapons, deciding that the planning of attacks on our nation and all nations is useless and simply not worth it. 

Collectively we choose to have and to contribute to a country and a world of peace. Justice is now in full operation and TRUTH prevails, replacing all lies and negative rhetoric. We see the triumph of peace over conflict. Leaders who stand for love and UNITY prevail and win. Those who have stood for hatred and violence now fall from positions of power, according to the Divine will.

People everywhere demand and stand for the infinite power of LOVE and interconnected harmony with one another.

We eliminate from this prayer treatment any and all manifestations of fear, panic, doubt, worry, now and in the future. Negative emotions have lost all power. Negative outcomes simply do not happen. Positive occurrences and progress are the case, no matter the outward appearances.

We work together as one country, one world, to make America a safe and protected nation that is a beacon for a working Democracy for the good of this nation and the world.

America heals now, and becomes better than ever before.

As we release this treatment to the Divine Law of harmony and GOOD we give thanks that it is so. And so it is.

FIRST READING: from Deepak Chopra’s “The Future Of God” 
"God 2.0"

Higher consciousness becomes real. You appreciate the value of simply being. Your desires come true with much less effort than before. In bursts of insight, you see why you exist and what your purpose is. Outer distractions lose their grip on you. You feel emotionally bonded with those you love. Anxiety and struggle drastically decrease. Your life is pervaded with a sense of rightness. 

Total connection: Your true self is God

You merge with your source. God is revealed as pure consciousness, the essence of who you are In time, this essence will radiate in all of creation. You experience the light of life within yourself. 

All is forgiven; all is loved. Your individual ego has expanded to become the cosmic ego. As enlightenment deepens, you experience a second birth. From now on, your evolution will take place as a journey into the transcendent. 

First musical Selection:  People Look East - hymn

Second reading: taken from The Science Of Mind by Ernest Holmes

It is impossible, perhaps, to put into words or into print what a mystic sometimes sees, and it is as hard to believe it as it is to put it into words. But there is a certain inner sense which, at times, sees Reality in a flash which illuminates the whole being with a great flood of light. This, too, might seem an illusion unless the testimony were complete; for every mystic has had this experience; but some have had it to a greater degree than others. Jesus was the greatest of all the mystics; and once, at least, after a period of illumination, His face was so bright that His followers could not look upon it. In moments of deepest realization the great mystics have sensed that One Life flows through all; and that all are some part of that Life. They have also seen Substance, a fine, white, brilliant stuff, forever falling into everything; a Substance, indestructible and eternal. At times, the realization has been so complete that they have been actually blinded by the light. There are instances where for several days after such an experience, the one having it could not see on the physical plane; for he had seen the Inner Light. Remember, all this takes place when in a perfectly normal state of mind and has nothing whatever to do with the psychic state. It is not an illusion but a reality; and it is during these periods that real revelation comes.

Second musical selection: O Little Town Of Bethlehem - hymn   
(let us pray for our brothers and sisters in the Middle East as we listen to/sing this hymn)

Closing hymn:  taken from a reading in “The Science Of Mind” by Ernest Holmes

Through the long night watches, God’s hand clasps ours. 
At the break of dawn, God’s hand clasps ours.
In the daytime of work and endeavor, from eternity to eternity, God’s hand clasps ours. 
When time shall have passed, when eternities shall be strewn about like falling petals,
and Space and worlds shall be swallowed up in everlasting blessedness, God’s hand shall clasp ours. 
And so it is. Amen. And so it is. Amen. And so it is. Amen. And so it is. Amen.

Go in peace, pray for peace and be peace.
