Beginning with Natural Goodness

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Jan 1, 2017: We inaugurate this New Year with a clear and loving focus on spirituality that works, a deeper understanding of the Principle of Being, and a truer embrace of the Divine Presence, alive within our daily life experiences. As Ernest Holmes explained, "God is not a person; God is a Presence personified in us. Spirituality is not a thing; It is the atmosphere of God's Presence, goodness truth and beauty. Religion is a life, a living." Science of Mind, p. 308 As we investigate our shared values: Turning to Source for guidance, deepening our connection to Spirit, honoring the Wisdom within ourselves and others, and living fully from our Authentic Center outward, we work together to co-create a healthy world. J. Krishnamurti wisely stated, "A religious mind is a creative mind. It has not only to finish with the past but also to explode in the present. And this mind - not the interpreting mind of books, of the Gita, the Upanishads, the Bible - which is capable of investigating, is also capable of creating an explosive reality. There is no interpretation here nor dogma."
