VISION: A Center For Spiritual Living

Jacob Glass 2.17.2019

Once you have found what you seek, stop seeking. Sit and be with it. If it`s love, or work, or Spiritual truth. Once you have that thing you love, you don`t have to keep going.
We exist in the body, but we live in imagination. So tell a great story. Drop the past, let go of the narrative, and start living your best year, your best decade ever. Even if nothing has happened. Be with the stillness, and know.

Rev Patti "Love Finds a Way"

What would love do? It wouldn`t worry about money, or winning, or making other`s pay a price, or about career. Love would uplift others.
It is our job in this life to express a greater love, to uplift others. To reveal the greater truth, regardless of appearances.

Rev Patti "All of It"

We are always Spirit in motion. Always outpicturing based on our emotions and beliefs. We cannot be separate from the Infinite Oneness of creation. It is the truth of us.
In the midst of challenges, we must hold fast to the truth, to know, to prove, that conditions change, and we direct that change.

Azim Khamisa "A world that works for everyone"

From God all peace flows, and returns. Even the darkest journey can end in peace.
There are many defining moments in our lives, but we are free to choose our reaction to them. To use them to create something better.

Rev Patti “Goddesses Created”

The female, creative energy is present in all creation myths. We are made in the image and likeness, in the nature, of a creative Universe.
We are never separate from that energy of the whole, we are an expression of it. Powerful enough to create lack and worry. But free to change it. So if it`s not working for you, change it.

Rev Patti “In The Beginning”

"In the beginning" never ends. Creation is on-going. A process of becoming. It`s never a one time thing.
We are connecting with something bigger than we are, a sense of belonging, of BE-ing. A connection to the infinite potential.

Rev Patti “Release and Accept”

We move back to our natural state when we forgive, when we release the pent up feelings of woundedness, or being wronged, and embrace peace.
We cannot go looking for peace outside of ourselves. We cannot expect others to change, to give us our peace. It is always an inside job.

Peter Bolland "Christmas Shadow, Christmas Light"

The communal art project known as traditional Christmas has many layers of tradition, it belongs to no one. It is the creation of myth, and artists, and our deep desire to connect.
In this dark time of the year, our clarity comes. Our willingness to give away all that we have, so that we can claim the treasure of life for ourselves is made manifest.

Rev Patti "Freedom of Forgiveness"

We acknowledge the wound, the hurt, the pain. It was real. It happened. But we don`t stay there. We are meant to go through it. That is where the growth and freedom lies. Not in the wallowing, but in the healing.
We are able to be gentle with others when we learn to be gentle with ourselves. When we release our condemnation of our own unskilled behaviors, it is easier to allow others to have theirs.

Rev Patti "The F Word"

What we are forgiving is always in the past. When we hold onto the past, we are not in our power, not growing. We acknowledge the event, the pain. Then we move on.
We live in a reflective universe. We cannot hold another in condemnation without suffering for the thought. Spirit holds nothing against us. It is we who demand satisfaction for the idea of being wronged.
