VISION: A Center For Spiritual Living

Rev Patti "I and Thou"

We experience "it", we are in relationship with "thou". We seek to understand and define our world, but must not fall into the trap of seeing others as separate from us.
We are One. If we are to enlarge this life we are living, we must include everyone else in that desire. We will heal the world by our example, not our explanation.

Rev Patti "All in All"

We are the I AM in all, and the ALL is in every one of us. The act of giving of ourselves, is the action of Life giving through us.
We get to heal the places within where to have fallen into false belief. When those buttons get pushed, we are called to do the inner work of taking ourselves home.

Rev Patti "Spirit Soul Body"

We are imbued with the nature of creation Itself. Our soul is an individualized expression of the Universe. We are power. We are peace. We are abundance.
As big an idea as we have for our lives, Spirit has a bigger idea, and can grow us into that life.

Rev Maggy Whitehouse "Celebrate Our Unique Oneness"

What we see and think of others is always perception. The ego is looking to keep things going as is. The Soul is open to something new.
When we surrender, all the help we ever need is there.

Rev Patti "Our Best Yet"

Our lives are expanding, our souls seek experience and expression. Not just what we judge as positive, but all experience.
Our best can change from day to day, hour to hour. It doesn`t mean powering through our day. It means being present, learning from our mistakes and failures, and growing from them.

Rev Patti “You Know What Assume Means”

Communication is a mixture of context, background, culture, fears, doubts and a host of unspoken mental attitudes. We take in words, and give them our own meaning.
Humans by nature connect the dots, extrapolate from existing information. This can keep up safe, can save us time. But it can keep us small, and prevent us from being present.

Rev Patti "It's Nothing Personal"

Judgement comes from the past, from an experience we are laying over the current situation, coloring it with an expectation or disappointment that already happened.
When we do the inner work, we unhook those buttons that get pushed by uninvited advice or rude comments that used to light us up. We decline delivery, and walk away free from the interaction.

Karyn Buxman "New Thought FUNdamentals"

Joy is who we are, but we can become distracted by the minutia of our daily lives.
We must keep an attitude of amazement and amusement with us everywhere to look, everywhere we love, and everywhere we live. Trusting the joy of the universe will unfold for us.

Rev Patti "Good as our Word"

We all have agreements we make, with friends, family, the world, and with ourselves. We are as good as our word. When we say we are going to do something, we do it. Then others know they can count on us, and we know we can count on us.
We must be aware of tossing our words around carelessly. That we speak either a blessing or a curse with each utterance. We must look with the eyes of love, and speak only words of love.

Rev Patti "Be great in act"

Be great in act, as you have been in thought; Let not the world see fear and sad distrust. Govern the motion of a kingly eye: Be stirring as the time; be fire with fire ~ William Shakespeare
