HAPPENINGS IN SAN DIEGO SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY
|
UCSL and RSI Important Announcement from Rev. Dr. ClancyDear
Minister friends, I just returned today from attending one day of
RSI Asilomar. I was blessed to witness the delegates leaving Congress after the final votes for the name change from
RSI to International Centers for Spiritual Living. What a joy
to see the faces of those who have been part of this history-making event. One of the delegates reported that only one
church was absent from the roll call (although present on campus), and there were less than 10 “no” votes!
We then heard from three evening speakers, one of whom has been in the movement since he was 23 years old, and is guardian
of some of the Holmes memorabilia gifted to him from another of the original people who worked with Ernie. (He is still
reminding people of the importance of “history”…)
The other two speakers were speaking in celebration of a new day, a new perspective and the joy of moving toward an outer
demonstration of the unity that both “siblings” teach.
In addition
to the Resolution #1 that changed the name, Resolution #2 (after many Whereas statements)
reads as follows, and I quote from the “Celebrating Our Spiritual Magnificence Program Guide” pg. 5-9…
Resolved,
That the President and Board of Directors for Religious Science International enter into an agreement with the United Centers
for Spiritual Living to integrate the two organizations into one, and that every department within RSI make every effort to successfully
integrate the two organizations within a reasonable amount of time and that we lay aside the differences that have kept the two organizations
apart and reveal a new era of cooperation, discovery and growth by celebrating the unity which our founder, Dr. Ernest Holmes,
desired us to achieve.
This last sentence
has brought tears to my eyes. Let us celebrate with great gratitude for the thousands of hours of meditation, prayer,
dialogue and downright hard work that has brought us to this day!
Incidentally, RSI holds their business meetings at Asilomar, so if this was not brought to a vote this week, then it would
be many months before all the delegates would be together again to address the Resolutions.
In love, peace and joy, Rev. Dr. Clancy Blakemore
(at UCSL Asilomar this coming week!)
WE ARE OFFICIALFriday afternoon we were informed that "Om Spiritual Center" is an Official United Center
for Spiritual Living Teaching Chapter. As a teaching chapter we will be offering classes and Sunday
gatherings with an educational twist. Additionally, as you visit our site you will
notice that we are posting a variety of community events for Religious Science churches and affiliates. My personal
goal is to make way for our community to participate together in many forums. We are a rich community and have much
to offer each other... and hopefully our website will be a way for you to find this information. If you would like to
post something on my site simply email me directly. All postings are FREE.
Please

Accepting Harmony as a Way to See God AlwaysOne of my favorite books is, Your Needs Met, by Jack and Cornelia Addington. I often refer
to the many prayers when I need to get re-centered in a thought or circumstances. Once I have read the TRUTH, my soul
is still again. Today I want to bring to us the idea of accepting Harmony as a way to see God in our lives. If you have this book, simply turn to the page which uses the heading, Harmony as it's title, page 76.
If not, then read below. I AM IN HARMONY WITH TRUTH Quote: "God was in Christ (within) reconciling the world until himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them: ...
we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." II Cor. 5:19,20 Prayer: God is Love, within my heart, reconciling my world unto His own harmonious nature. No matter how many mistakes
I have made they are not held against me when I bring myself into harmony with God's true nature which is Love and Truth.
God is Love, individualized as the Christ within me, ever drawing me into perfect harmony with His own perfection. The
moment I turn to this Perfection, Truth is brought into my life and affairs. There is a clarification in the situation
at hand. Immediately, there comes a cleansing within my own thinking, an adjustment in personal relationships
and a revitalizing of my physical body. To be reconciled is "to be in harmony with". To be reconciled
with God within is the answer to every problem. Once I have put myself in harmony with Peace, there is Peace in my world.
Having put myself in harmony with Love, the balance of Love is restored in my life. As I put myself in Harmony with
the Wholeness of God's Life, this Wholeness is made manifest as health of mind and body. I am forever in Harmony
with the Truth that sets me free.
And so it is.
The Sacredness of OmOm is found throughout India not only in temples, but also on walls, trucks and doors reminding those who
see it that All is One Consciousness. This Sunday we discussed how we create Oneness inside and
in our world. A comment was made that the word "Om" is that vibration inside us, when we go inside to the
eternal vibration we are creating at a deep level of oneness within. This vibration is then reflected out into our world
as a sense of Peace. The Om Poster I have says, "Om is eternal Existence, Consciousness and
Bliss. This entire universe, including our body, mind and senses, is its manifestation, extension and expansion.
Past, present and future all are nothing but Om. This was true in the past, it is true in the present and it will be
true in the future. And whatever else exists beyond the three divisions of time, that also is indeed Om." What is the essence of Om? It is the eternal vibration of awareness. Come be
a part of our program and experience Om in your life. Our next Gathering is July 27th, at 11:00 AM.

starts with singing meditation, then singing songs focusing on the vibration that music brings, and how it connects us to
God's presence, then we have a short message and discussion, hope you can make it! The "Inner Cirlce" is a "New Thought"
spiritual group, it embraces teaching's from many great teachers "Jesus" "Buddha" "Ernest Holmes" etc. first
and formost we are an "experiential" meeting of individuals looking to find a deeper connection to "Source",. Through singing we create vibrational energy's that
can link us to a deeper understanding of our inherent communion with the Universe/God. As we explore the fullness of
this, we collectively experience profound consciousness shifts, that inspire and challenges us. the system
is birthed out of my process of connecting to spirit
and allowing it to flow through me, creating new songs that inspire me and at the same time lift my consciousness. after we
do this collectively there will be a short message,. (this week by Sharon Hudson ) 10347 Madrid
