VISION: A Center For Spiritual Living

Rev Patti Who`s There?

Uncovering our authentic self.

Rev Patti "Less is More"

We are constantly engaged in the process of releasing limiting ideas. We don`t need to "get" anything to be authentic, we need to let it out! Communing with the god-self within allows the greatness that already exists to find expression.
All our work is done in mind. We cannot create meaningful change by altering conditions. We must release them. Shed fear, shed false belief, release blame and anger. Let go of the things that we have collected, and express that which we truly are.

Rev Dr Kathy Hearn "There is good for you"

We let in the good, we surrender to the good which already exists in our lives. Through our emotions and beliefs we accept life. It is for us to remain grounded in our good, not fall into despair and delusion at the first sign of trouble.
Being spiritual doesn`t mean trouble doesn`t happen, it means we deal with it differently. We see the hand of Bounty in all actions, and we call forth that bounty when it is hidden from us. Life is always seeking more, never less.

Rev Patti "Giving Up for Good"

Surrender is not giving up, it is letting go of the struggle to control or make something happen. We open up to a greater vision of what is possible, take the Spirit`s Eye View of our lives, and go for more.
The story of why we can`t have what we want is the only thing holding us back. Spirit holds nothing against Itself, and therefore holds nothing against us. We are free enough to create bondage, but it`s only a thought; change it.

Rev Patti "New Life"

Our inner work of transformation is eternal. The future is now, the time for change is now! Our story evolves as we awaken to the greater Truth and potential of our lives.
We come to desire a release of the old, and embrace the greater good. Even if we are unsure of what it will look like, we step forth in faith, in joy and enthusiasm, knowing Spirit is always for us!

Rev Patti "Time for Change"

Life is filled with great change, if we allow life to have its way with us. We see and feel change in the world around us, both natural and man-made, and we are reminded to go deeper, to use our faith to create growth.
We desire, and were born for, lives of joy, fulfillment and happiness. That work must come from within. We must plant the seeds, and nurture them in order to reap a harvest of good.

Rev Patti "Transforming Thought"

Life changes, in order to direct the change in our lives, we must be consciously aligned with the Truth of life. That there is an invisible Cause, which we are united with at the level of our belief, which outpictures as the experience of our lives.
If we desire more, we must embody more- by blessing and celebrating that which we are for. Never indulging in low thoughts against anything. We must have faith in the invisible realm, and that faith will draw that power forth into our lives.

Rev Patti "I AM that I AM"

We often lead with our broken story, we label ourselves. As Carolyn Myss says: we lead with our wounds.
But our very nature is Spiritual Wholeness, Joy and Happiness are ours, they claim us when we claim them. All we are is Spirit, there is no "there" to get to, we are exactly where we are, and we can bloom here.

Peter Bolland "Be Still and Know"

There is a stillness within, that all traditions speak of. From there, we know that we are One with the infinite, the grace, the good, the joy of life.
When we are in turmoil, those things are lost to us. We must make stillness and peace part of our daily exercise.

Rev Patti "Celebrating the Journey"

The joy and activity of life is in the doing of life! We need to get out of our fear, our longing and our attachment, and connect with the dream, the vision, that Spirit has placed in our heart. Spirit could not provide us with the idea, if there wasn`t a way to have it.
Perfectionism is another form of self-sabotage. If we wait for conditions to be "perfect" before we move on something, we will never move on it. Start where we are. Find magic in the moment and believe in our dreams!
