VISION: A Center For Spiritual Living

Rev Patti "Seeing with new eyes"

The time of year when all traditions turn to The Light, and look for its expression to guide and to lead.

Rev Patti "Miracles Abound"

Spirit is the same today, yesterday, and forever. There are no "miracles" in the Divine, there is only aligning with the possibility that already exists in the Mind of God.
We must acknowledge the difference between "night language", that of poetry and symbolism, and "day language", facts and evidence. We speak both, but we must know what we are using them for or we will get lost in them.

Steve Cooper "A child shall lead them"

The new generation brings with it new possibilities, and new ways of achieving them. Just as Jesus brought the qualities of caring, healing and compassion to the world.
The myth has power when it is going on now. Otherwise, everything about it is sacred, or nothing is. It is the untouchable myth, or "just" a myth.

Rev Patti "Holy Days"

We reject any superstition or fear that seeks to rob us of our power. Spirit is the only power, and we are one with that. The astrological day, the medium and the cards have no more power than the power we choose to give them.
What works for one, may not work for another. We are free to find the unique path of Spirit that is ours to express.

Rev Patti "Seeing Sunday"

We can undermine ourselves with old thoughts and old patterns, when the past colors the present and diffuses our goals.
We must question the doubts within, find out where they came from, and then we can ignore them! Blow right past them towards the future we desire.

Jan Garrett and JD Martin "Better Angels"

We seek true belonging, not just fitting in. We can be vulnerable and uncomfortable, without attacking or being mean, and without sacrificing who we are.
We approach the world with a strong back, a soft front, and a wild heart.

Rev Patti "Alive, Awake, and Aware"

Before we are out of bed in the morning, the narrative may already be running. And a simple thought can make us worried, or anxious, or upset, and nothing has even happened.
We don't get anything from outside experiences, we bring who we are to them. Our joy, our love, our fear, our sense of lack. And that shows us where out inner work lies.

Rev Patti "Minding Our Business"

If we aren't minding our business, who is? Are we afraid to confront the hidden parts of us? If we heal them, will we recognize ourselves? Will we be recognized?
We must come to know that we are one with the power of the universe. That those hidden aspects are available to heal, and to stop holding us back from a life of fulfillment.

Rev Patti "All God's Creations"

We identify and sort our world based on differences. But when fear does the sorting, we reduce our circle of availability, and our world gets smaller.
We must meet people where they are, and listen, get to know and understand them, and their path. Get past the story, and connect at the heart.

Rev Patti "Family Lines"

We develop alone lines of decisions. In our youth, these decisions are often made for us. As we expand our understanding of the world, we begin to make choices, for better or worse.
When we are committed to the journey of self-actualization, our choices allow us to create our destiny.
