July 7: ”Self-Reliance: Your Inner Truth”  Joyce Brown and Patty Baker.  Self reliance is understanding your own signals and learning to trust them. There are those who would call this intuition, discernment, and paying attention to that small still voice inside.  We would also call this, listening to your soul. Self-reliance is based on creating a positive way of living for yourself, and can be of benefit to those around you, provided they can allow it to be so. But the key begins with you.   You cannot look to others to be your self-reliance.   Others can give support, compassion, friendship, incredible teachings. But the final decision rests with you. 2013 Peace Meditation Third Monday of every month from 7 to 8:30 pm, at CCL, June 17, facilitated by Rev. April Lussier and inspirational music by Rev.

This Sunday at CCL “Divine Intelligence — Join The Conversation” with  Robert Perala      Please join us this Sunday morning - June 16th - Father’s day for an exciting service with the amazing author of The Divine Blueprint – Robert Perala, the CCL Choir, an outreach to Fathers everywhere and more!      The Divine Intelligence is all around you. It combines all things together. Robert Perala invites you to join in on the conversation.  Earth is being birthed into a slightly larger expression, and people are feeling the vast sweeping changes in consciousness all around the world. Join this Sunday’s service for a look at: Personal Growth, Bridging the Worlds of New Science & Ancient Wisdom, Extraterrestrial Science, Life Before Birth/Life After Death, Where Does The Human Blueprint Come From, and where we are headed as we reach into the Golden Age of Enlightenment. Looking forward to seeing you there. Persons of Spirit by Rev. Doti Boon      I started out this series with “Love Without Limits” we went to “Memories” and how our memories can hold us hostage with negative emotions and then I talked about “Remorse and Regrets” all of these subjects continuing on the theme of how to move forward, become more spiritual, let go of limiting beliefs and appreciate that you are a child of God. This week I will be discussing how we can grow more deeply into your own personal spirit by honoring: self-transcendence, freedom, creativity, love, and joy. 1.  Self-Transcendence, Self-Criticism, & Altruism: Our spirits empower us and allow us to step outside of ourselves. This acceptance of Spirit’s guidance helps us to change ourselves for the better. And, when we are not stuck in our egos, we are able to reach out to others in compassion and concern. 2.  Freedom: Freedom is our capacity to rise above ourselves and make life-changing decisions. Freedom defines our human spirit. Even though outside forces shape our lives, we have the freedom to define ourselves as those who pursue purposes other than the goals recommended and reinforced by our cultures. The highest use of our personal freedom is to choose and invent our own purposes for living. 3.  Creativity: Our spiritual essence constantly dreams up something new. We may not understand how such creative moments emerge. But, when we have flashes of insight and surprising new ideas, we know that something amazing has happened to us. And it is important that we capture and package such moments. We can’t force our spirits to be creative, but we can be ready for creative moments when they occur. Being creative in art, music, writing, intuitiveness, scientific research, etc. includes being able to recognize creative flashes -and how to apply them. 4.  Love: Love is the moment in which two spirits meet. This happens when we become open and acceptant of each other. We can’t force these moments to happen. But it is exciting to create lasting relationships when such moments occur. No matter how fully we appreciate moments of meeting others as persons of spirit, such encounters are fleeting and need to be nurtured. It is important they not be confused with romantic love. Romantic love is an emotional response, well based in emotional programming; quite often leading to sex, partnership, or marriage. Unfortunately – these are not always a merging of spirituality. However, discovering other persons of spirit transcends all the illusions of romance. Instead, we become open to each other as the real spiritual beings we are, not trying to fulfill the dreamy feelings of physical ‘love’ we have learned from the mass media. When there is a connection between our romantic partnerships and our spiritual connections – it is the greatest feeling possible. It is wonderful to meet diverse people and be able to create communities of “persons of spirit” as we do through CCL – appreciating each person for who they truly are. And, it is important to honor all persons of spirit that come our way. 5.  Glimpses of Joy and Fulfillment: As we develop our spirits in other ways we glimpse JOY and fulfillment. The better we attune with them we realize that peace – true spiritual peace – is the final and ultimate spiritual attunement with God and yourself.

Angela DeBry ($15 or $25 for 2).  Join us for an evening of discussion and sharing about what it means to serve as a multi-faith minister. What draws someone to service and what are the responsibilities of this service. SAT. June 22 - 1:00 to 5:00 - Old Testament with Beth Thomlinson ($30). 1. Overview of the books in the Old Testament, what information they cover, i.e., what’s the plot and purpose of each book? 2. Who wrote the books of the Old Testament and when? 3. What language were they written in, and how has the text changed between then and now? What relationship does the Old Testament we read today have to the Old Testament of 2,000 years ago? 4. What was happening in the history of the Israelites at the times covered in the Old Testament, i.e., how does the Old Testament fit into the context of historical events? SAT. June 22 - 7:00 to 9:00 - Druid Celebration for Summer Solstic: Alban Herui.   $20. The name for the festival of the Summer Solstice in Druidry is Alban Hefin, which means ‘The Light of the Shore’. Druidry has a great respect and reverence for places that are ‘in between’ worlds. The seashore is one such place, where the three realms of Earth, Sea and Sky meet. There is great power in places such as these. It is the time of greatest light and it also brings some sadness because from now until Alban Arthan, the Sun’s strength is declining and we have entered the waning year. Of all the festivals Druidry is mostly associated with Alban Hefin. The wonderful white-robed figures filmed at the dawn rituals at Stonehenge are testament to this. However, to many Druids it is the turning seasons and the cycle of life, death and rebirth – reflected in the Wheel of the Year in its completeness – which are significant. TUES.

Blessings dear friends,

I am excited to announce that I have opened a healing practice office at Center for Creative Living where I will be offering VortexHealing® and Spiritual Counseling with Divine Guidance.

It would be an honor to have you  participate in a Blessing Ritual for this next chapter of my spiritual work at my open house this Sunday.

This deep connection to the Divine Presence is what makes VortexHealing so unique, for this Divine Presence deeply ‘bridges’ both divine Vortex energies and its own divine consciousness into the recipient, and guides their movement to optimize healing conditioning of our issues and transform back into light, back into the wholeness from which it came.

Sitting together in meditation I can use this bridging to run VortexHealing to help release emotional and physical traumas, address the core cause of negative behavior patterns, clear karmic history, harmonize, energize and optimize body systems, chakras, organs. and more.

I will be available for daytime and evening appointments.  408 205 0385 or  revaprillynn@gmail.com

VortexHealing® Group Session at East West Book Store
324 Castro Street
Mountain View, California 94041

7:30pm • Free, but call to reserve a seat 650-988-9800
Looking for vibrant health and an awakened life? The view of VortexHealing® is that all of life is One, but we experience ourselves as separate, which creates issues, blockages, false identities and over time generates suffering and illness. The intent of VortexHealing® is to release this conditioning for vibrant health and awakening. Becca Thompson has studied several methods of hands-on healing though her primary is working with divine energetic consciousness, which began in 2006 when she took her first class in VortexHealing®. Later in her development, Becca discovered she has a special connection with angelic consciousness within the VortexHealing® lineage. Please come and experience Becca’s introductory talk followed by a group healing that gives participants the opportunity to experience energy healing and ask questions afterward. www.VortexHealing.org

April Lussier and inspirational music by Rev. Janet Childs. Quots “People hurt you. God will heal you. People humiliate you. God will magnify you. People judge you. God will justify you. People hate you. God will LOVE you.” ~ Author Unknown ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ “Life laughs at you when you are unhappy ….. Life smiles at you when you are happy ….. But life salutes you when you make others happy.” ~Charlie Chaplin ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Love is a force of nature. However much we may want to, we can not command, demand, or disappear love, any more than we can command the moon and the stars and the wind and the rain to come and go according to our whims. We may have some limited ability to change the weather, but we do so at the risk of upsetting an ecological balance we don’t fully understand. Similarly, we can stage a seduction or mount a courtship, but the result is more likely to be infatuation, or two illusions dancing together, than love. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Love is bigger than you are. You can invite love, but you cannot dictate how, when, and where love expresses itself. You can choose to surrender to love, or not, but in the end love strikes like lightening, unpredictable and irrefutable. You can even find yourself loving people you don’t like at all. Love does not come with conditions, stipulations, addendums, or codes. Like the sun, love radiates independently of our fears and desires. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Love cannot be turned on as a reward. It cannot be turned off as a punishment. Only something else pretending to be love can be used as a lure, as a hook, for bait and switch, imitated, insinuated, but the real deal can never be delivered if it doesn’t spring freely from the heart. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This doesn’t mean that love allows destructive and abusive behaviors to go unchecked. Love speaks out for justice and protests when harm is being done. Love points out the consequences of hurting oneself or others. Love allows room for anger, grief, or pain to be expressed and released. But love does not threaten to withhold itself if it doesn’t get what it wants. Love does not say, directly or indirectly, “If you are a bad boy, Mommy won’t love you any more.” Love does not say, “Daddy’s little girl doesn’t do that.” Love does not say, “If you want to be loved you must be nice, or do what I want, or never love anyone else, or promise you’ll never leave me.” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Love cares what becomes of you because love knows that we are all interconnected. Love is inherently compassionate and empathic. Love knows that the “other” is also oneself. This is the true nature of love and love itself can not be manipulated or restrained. Love honors the sovereignty of each soul. Love is its own law. Spread love everywhere you go:  first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better or happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile; kindness in your warm greeting.  Mother Teresa AFFIRMATION  Every day I Love Without Limits This Sunday at CCL  ”Love Without Limits” with Rev. Doti Boon Quite often when I am giving a sermon I talk about how we should emulate God and “Love Without Limits.” The Mother/Father God is not limiting but endless. Spirit is relentless – always there, never far away and completely within our ability to love. Sometimes people feel that this spiritual energy will abandon them if they aren’t “perfect.” We are always perfect in the eyes of the Mother/Father God. This seems difficult for many folks to understand and even more difficult to believe. Join Rev. Doti this Sunday as she awakens you to the spirit that loves you “no matter what.”   Love Without Limits Some pretty good rules to live by, written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio. “To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 49 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I’ve ever written.”  My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column: Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good. When in doubt, just take the next small step. Life is too short – enjoy it. Pay off your credit cards every month You don’t have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it. Start saving for retirement with your first paycheck. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present. It’s OK to let your children see you cry. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying. You can get through anything if you stay put in today. A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special. Over prepare, then go with the flow. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple. The most important sex organ is the brain. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: “In five years, will this matter?” Always choose life. Forgive everyone everything. What other people think of you is none of your business. Time heals almost everything. Give time time. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch. Believe in miracles. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger. Growing old beats the alternative – dying young. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back. Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. The best is yet to come. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. If you don’t ask, you don’t get. Yield. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift. You may go to the CCL meetup calendar: www.meetup.com/Creative-Living-at-the-Center to learn more about any of these events. Classes at CCL FRI.
