Learning by Eve Wilson Reprinted with permission from Body Mind Spirit Guide Magazinehttp://www.bodymindspiritguide.com Outside my second story window is the beginnings of a robins nest. The young pair of robins are busy carrying last year’s dry lily leaves and other carefully chosen items to the crook of my tiny maple tree. With each new addition the mother- to- be lays her belly down and snuggles the nesting material into the shape of a nest, turns a bit and does the same again in each direction. The young parents seem very happy with this spot directly above my bird bath and feeder. The problem they seem to be missing is the large amount of traffic to this area for those same accoutrements by other birds. I am particularly concerned about the starlings who I am confident would find robin eggs a treat. Watching these blindly confident young parents I was reminded of the way that each of us has to learn from our experiences. I thought about how God allows us to do that, confident that next time the opportunity arises we will be wiser in our choices and learn some deep lessons along the way. I am certain that the next brood these robins have will be placed in a safer spot. This made me think of a new mother I recently met. She was so greatly overwhelmed by the need to be perfect for her child and everyone else that she couldn’t conceive of a few minutes a day to just relax and care for her own emotional needs. I have observed this tendency a lot in recent generations of parents who want so badly to be better parents than the previous generations or as good as those they had. Popular psychology has placed the blame for the problems of individuals on their parents. Sometimes that is the case, but mostly it is the children’s own soul contracts which define their experience of life. Parents may blame their selves or try too hard feeling that their child’s success is all about their parenting. Carried to an extreme these attitudes encourage parents to neglect their own needs which can create an imbalance of another sort. Like the robin, children have to learn from their experiences. They need to think for their selves, choose and make mistakes for their selves. Failing, they will of necessity learn to go within and find the motivation and will power to succeed for their selves. No one can do these things them. If we allow others to drive our lives we never learn to drive them for ourselves. Truly, it is easier to control or push our children then to watch them struggle to find their own motivation, will power and courage, and it takes a greater amount of trust. It is less frustrating to do for our children than to wait for them to do for their selves, or to sit by while they leave things undone. But if we do everything for them, we become slaves to our children. Parents teach by example and the stress of trying to hyper-parent, teaches a fearful, overwhelmed, and imbalanced way of life. It may make them not want to grow up to live that level of hyper-responsibility they see in their parents. To model life for your children, learn to live a life that your children will long to experience for their selves. This is an endeavor that will reward everyone! Let your children observe your learning process and how you problem solve. Let them see you take time for yourself and enjoy relaxing and being alive and whole. This will help them learn to solve their own problems, relax into their own life, find joy and wholeness. They will need unstructured time to choose their direction and find their motivation; time to make poor decisions and learn for their selves what they really want and what will work for them. The greatest level of vigilance will not prevent circumstances which are pre-determined to occur for your child. They have a destiny which is not in your control. Like the robin, children will learn from their experience and will succeed because they have tried and failed and are encouraged to see that as OK. Failure is a step toward success and a necessary part of learning. God knows this and has allowed a couple of generations to try hyper-parenting in an attempt to create happy and whole people. If you have gone to this extreme, it is OK to change your approach and find more balance. There is no time like the present and no blame for trying to the best of your ability, and then choosing a different, more balanced approach. One of my favorite meditations is to see life as God’s river. I surrender into the flow of life and release all the hard things (metaphorically the rocks in the river that create turbulence and rapids) to God. When traveling down a river, there is always a current that flows deep through the rocky places and will carry you safely through, but if you try to grab hold of the rocks you will get beat up by them. Trust the flow of life’s river and surrender the rocks, or the hard things to God. When you do, you’ll find there is a way through the hard and dangerous places that is safe and amazingly smooth. As you wake up in the morning and step out of bed, step into God’s river and release all your objectives and agendas into God’s care. Ask God to help you find a way to accomplish with grace, power and ease all that is important today and to let go and trust that whatever doesn’t get done is really not important at this time. Spend your day in the flow of God’s river. The world is changing so fast right now. If you try to control things you will feel frustrated and stressed out. You can trust God’s river to take you to the perfect place for you. Rev. Eve Wilson has been a Healer and trainer of Healers since 1986.

Maryellen De Vine When we’re on a spiritual path, we want to think that we are only about Love and Light (right?) And we probably are for the most part. However, we all have times when we feel our “human-ness”. We face challenging situations, have arguments, lose our cool with our kids, or just have a plain old bad day. This is just part of the “spiritual beings having a human experience” thing. But we have a powerful spiritual tool available to us at all times to help smooth out these tricky times. And it’s so simple, yet not always easy to remember. We can just Send Love. Perhaps you and a loved one aren’t seeing eye to eye lately. Perhaps you’re dealing with a difficult boss or client. Perhaps you’ve been worrying about the outcome of a particular situation (especially when you feel you have no control over the outcome). Or maybe you are beginning to put up some healthy boundaries for yourself, and others are having a hard time adjusting to them. You can just send Love. Imagine Love swirling in your heart space and then imagine it flowing out to the other person. You can picture Love surrounding and infusing the situation or the relationship. Sometimes we are too angry at the moment to muster up any actual feelings of Love, but you can always call upon the energy of Unconditional Love or ask your angels to flood each of you with Love. You’ll be amazed at the shift this simple thing can create. It may help you or the other person be more compassionate and understanding. It may soften the intense emotions. It may also help those involved see that the other’s behavior is coming from stress or fear, etc. It can be very healing. It’s actually a great practice to do each day. Send Love to your loved ones, those you work with, people driving on the freeway, to different situations, places at war…you name it! I have to remind myself of this tool at times, too. Just imagine this at my house (hopefully you’ll get a chuckle out of this): 3 teenage boys (attitudes!) + 1 menopausal mom (yikes, that’s me!) = 1 volatile cocktail! Definitely looking rather human instead of “angelic” and spiritual at times 🙂 Gotta keep on sending (and receiving) the Love! Sending lots of Love to you! Min.

At that time I found his work on DVD form and used those for my in house classes. When students began to ask for a remote program I was fortunate to find the illustrated version. Huston Smith was born May 31, 1919. He is one of the most admired religious studies scholars in the U.S. His work, The World’s Religions, is a classic and has sold over two million copies. He was born in Soochow, China, to Methodist missionaries and spent his first 17 years there. He taught at the Universities of Colorado and Denver from 1944 to 1947, moved to Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, for the next 10 years, served as professor of Philosophy at MIT from 1958 to 1973. Smith then moved to Syracuse University, where he was Thomas J. Watson Professor of Religion and Distinguished Adjunct Professor of Philosophy until his retirement in 1983. The full link to his biography is at:http://www.harpercollins.com/author/microsite/about.aspx?authorid=9210 Huston Smith’s early life straddling the lines between the Asian culture and his parents Methodist faith allowed him to develop a truly unique and diverse world view of how each of us embraces, struggles with and defines our faith. I would highly recommend any and all the works done by Huston Smith, this particular version combining text and a visual picture journey is my personal favorite.

With Light and Love, Sandy   Angel PrayersReverend Jacquelyn Sendak-ZaveletaForward to Saturday PrayerWe have our work cut out for us on earth!Rev Jim Goure, my root teacher, use to grumble about how Jesus taught us to heal many years ago, yet that mission still is not done. We reach plateaus, get inspired, and heal up only to slip back into feeling insecure and lacking. An entire industry (thought form) has been formed, a Medical and Holistic business combining Money, control and power. I am not knocking natural healing. However, the correcting is more than herbs, diet, etc.; the main causes of ill health are very deep. In exploring the how toes back to harmony, stop asking why. Gene Davis said there is only one answer. Because we have in our belief system a distorted view that can be cleared. He advised us to take responsibility for creating (the problem that causes one physical discomfort or mental concern), and without guilt, change it and turn the healing over to the Christ self within …or that crystal clear consciousness. Then let it release with a smile that aligns all ones body. If the situation returns use a switch word like “its ok” or repeat this process again. Eventually say “I am free to live the Divine Design of my life.” The energy clears and defying X-rays, etc. Miracles happen or ordinary magic. All is done for the Glory of the Divine is a new and different outlook. The new Mantra for 2013 is Be Divine! Angel Blessings, Jacquelyn Saturday prayer By Tully Moss Dear Light Group, Many of us feel that we should be healed instantly and that if we are not, then God does not love us. Sometimes there is an instant healing, but often we are working with negatives that have been building up for many, many years. So, we need to stop looking for immediate changes and instead keep on working with the Light. If we dedicate ourselves to working with the Light, then we see the bigger picture. The really big picture – and often the hardest picture to see – is that everything is for the glory of God. This was communicated beautifully by Jesus when he was confronted by his disciples about the man born blind. The disciples asked why the man had been born blind. Was it due to his karma, from a previous life? Was it due to his parents’ karma? Jesus responded that it was none of these reasons. It was for the glory of God. This is hard to take sometimes. I can attest to this. An acquaintance from college has been in the intensive care unit of a hospital for over a month with a severe case of streptococcal pneumonia. She has been on a ventilator, has lost a great deal of weight, and is very weak. The tendency is to ask, “Why?” Why should a good person go through this? To say that it is all for the glory of God can be a bit hard to take. But if we get into the consciousness that it indeed is for the glory of God, then our consciousness expands and our efforts are vastly greater. For one thing, we pray not just for the person but for all people with the same condition. Having tuned into the vibration of one person with a condition makes it easier to tune into all people with that condition. When we work on others, we forget our selves and our egos and our selfish motives. We remember that we have a responsibility to heal our neighbor. Our neighbor, particularly in such an interconnected planet, is everyone. So this Saturday, start with someone you really want to see healed. Say prayers for that person, perhaps something along the lines of, “The Creator in _______________ fills him / her with Light, heals him / her, and directs him / her to the Light.” Then expand your prayer: “The Creator in all people with ________________ [the condition of the person you just prayed for] fills them with Light, heals them, and directs their lives to Light.” You can move on to all people, using prayers such as, “The mind of all mankind is in a bubble of Light. Only Light can come to this mind and only Light can be there.” And then finish up by encapsulating planet Earth in a bubble of Light, through visualization or through a prayer such as, “The world is in a bubble of Light. Only Light can come to it and only Light can be there.” When you make such a statement, Light is brought into Earth, and people begin to breathe, eat, and sleep in Light…and everyone on Earth begins to heal. Love and Light, Tully Tully also studied with Jim Goure Note from Jacquelyn: I spent 5 1/2 months studying and living at Jim and Diana Goure’s Prayer Center in 1985. Two years prior I met him in Ca where I took classes, and learned his 7 Steps to Effective prayer! He also had round the clock prayer tours for the world. I learned how to really pray and he taught about Christ’s teachings. I consider him a Christian mystic. He also served in the Navy, worked on Atomic Commission, and had a prayer group when he worked for the Pentagon.   Jim was a family man with eight kids, had a keen sense of humor, was able to look into one’s soul to help you cut through your blocks and gain insight into your Divine Mission. Meeting him and being his student helped me discover my gifts and how to be of service to others. Jim changed my life and touched the lives of many others, and I have taught his teachings to this day. He asked me to commit to doing the light work in Calf. He was an amazing teacher! His techniques were ahead of the times and still apply to this day. I am still inspired by what he taught me and love sharing his prayer techniques! Gene Davis, who wrote about Reversing the Aging process, was another teacher of mine. Jim Goure http://www.urlight.org/founders.htm    Hidden Beneath the Oldby Reverend Eve WilsonReprinted with permission fromBody Mind Spirit Guide Magazinehttp://www.bodymindspiritguide.comFebruary 2nd lies half way between the Winter Solstice (the longest night of the year) and the Spring Equinox (when nights and days are equal). On this date Celtic traditions celebrate Imbolc a festival which recognizes that unseen beneath the snow and ice of winter, spring has already begun. If you go outside and use your higher senses, you will be able to identify an emerging aliveness stirring beneath the death of winter from this date forward. I love that! Winter feels like it rules, but spring has already gained the upper hand, all unseen but powerful. I see a parallel between Imbolc and the larger cycle of change we are experiencing during this time of ascension. Looking around within our world, it seems that the old world consciousness still has the upper hand; but when you use your higher senses, you will be able to feel the emergence of something new and true but still mostly unseen beneath the surface of things. We could call this emerging energy the new world and it is growing in power and substance even as you read this article. Being one who perceives energy, it is a pleasure and a privilege to observe this change within people and our planet. The new world energy rises up from below and it has a sugary texture and an opalescent quality to it, reminding me of sunlight on snow but more silvery. You can feel it as something very alive and joyous and new. It feels true and conscious and part of God and all of life. Like with the end of winter, the end of the old world energies is inevitable; the old contracts ended with the arrival of 2013. The old ways of doing things will dissolve like the snow, in their own way and time. What is coming to take their place is an energy more in keeping with our higher and eternal nature. Although the forms of the new world are still invisible, there are certain elements of the new world which we can be confident of. One very important element is that the world and our personal bodies and souls are rising in vibration to be able to hold higher consciousness; divine consciousness. From that awareness we can presume that the world which higher consciousness will build through these lives of ours can’t help but be better than the one we have been living in to date! I receive hints of what is to come in my meditations and planetary healing work. One big change, which I have been repeatedly shown coming, is the end of the need for money. I am very happy about that change, which I have been told will occur over the next 20 years. However, it is hard to imagine how that change will come about. I believe it has to do with partnering with God within our bodies and souls. Through that partnership, as the need arises, I believe we will create what we need out of the substance of reality without taking and doing damage from other lives as we have had to do up until now. We will increasingly work in cooperation with the awakening God consciousness within all life forms and what is done will support the overall good, rather than taking from one to give to another. I love these visions of the future and I feel the truth of them, and yet it seems a long step from here to get there! I am excited to see how it comes about! Change often inspires fear in the hearts of people. Faith is a deliberate choice, and we each have to find it within ourselves in our own way. You can seek it within your own heart in response to the fear or anxiety that you feel. It is not necessary to suppress fear, but rather to bring God, by whatever name you call that One into the place where the fear is and welcome the transformation from fear into love and truth. Like the energy of spring arising within the appearance of winter, the love and truth is present but sometimes, invisible. So much in the outer sense says the old world has control, but underneath the new is growing stronger. Let the new world energy be born inside of you. Make room for it and exercise faith by letting your aspect of God be there as a presence of love and truth at the core of your days and nights. Wait for the signs of the new world springing up into your soul and your life. It is a miracle just as the melting of ice and snow and the emergence of the first snowdrops and crocuses of spring. Its beauty will be all the greater for the winter of the old world we have struggled through to get there. Rev. Eve Wilson has been a Healer and trainer of Healers since 1986.

I did have one girlfriend who was studying Judaism and a friend who was Greek Orthodox. During high school it was the 60’s so like everyone else I saw the influx into the U.S. of the Eastern Philosophies and religions. Being the book worm I am, they fascinated me and I wanted to know more about these other cultures, philosophies and religions. I had not been exposed to the idea that there was at one time across the planet an amazingly documented history of the Divine Feminine. In the late 70’s at a trip to Mount Shasta I discovered the Golden Bough Book Store. To my sorrow it is no longer in existence but for much of the 80’s and 90’s this book store played and amazing part in my personal spiritual journey. The first part of the journey was on that very first trip I found a book called, When God Was a Woman, by Merlin Stone. Our family tradition was in the evening at the campsite I would read to the group. The discussions that occurred were terrific and I read everything from scifi, fiction, spirituality, biographies. Each family member was able to pick a book for our camping circle. You may imagine the lively discussions that developed over the idea that there was archaeological proof with regards to a Divine Feminine.   Later as the UCM Degree Program was developed we wanted to develop a program that truly allowed our students and ministers to find their personal path to the Divine and to serve their communities with open and compassionate hearts. Once again I found myself at the Golden Bough Book Store and there, right on the shelf, was The Once and Future Goddess, by Elinor W. Gadon. Elinor W. Gadon is an art historian. Her specialty is Indian art and culture and the analysis of symbols in their cultural content. Ms. Gadon has taught at Harvard, Tufts, and the New School for Social Research. She resides in Berkeley, California. She has brought her amazing skills to a book that informs us through art and symbols of the history of the Divine Feminine on this planet. Her journey covers the very ancient paleolithic past to our present time in a way that is informative, compassionate and truly beautiful. Personally I felt in reading this book that it called to a balance of the male and female rather than a confrontational approach against men that I have seen in other books on this topic. As a woman, mom, granny, minister and teacher, that balanced approached touched my heart and left me feeling hope for our planet. I hope you take the time to journey with her. It is certainly an amazing path. Reverend Angela DeBry, H.H.D., D.D.

Presidents Message  Reverend Sandy Clark, D.D. February 2013 It’s February, Love is in the air! Memories of February always bring out the kid in me. I was at the store the other day and walked by all the Valentine’s Day cards, some of them have become quite fancy. I was drawn to the small packet of heart shaped cards for kids. It reminded me of the cards we used to make to give to our friends with one line sayings along with the conversation heart candy. In my head I am a young school girl again, with no particular cares in the world, and it is almost Valentine’s Day. However in reality, now I am sitting at my desk here at the office; having awoken to the news of a killer on the loose in Southern California, the murder of a number of people from a drug deal that went wrong, almost being hit by a car on the freeway coming to work, and the list goes go on and on. Personally, I liked being a school girl, excited for Valentine’s Day, rather than dealing with the fear and anger of what appears to be going on in the world today. I remember why I am here; I came to bring Light and Love, and I can do that. It happens every time my heart beats; a spark of that Love and Light that each of us carries in our hearts, goes out and brings Light and Love to the World. I can add to that spark with my meditations and my everyday thoughts and I can see and feel the Light get stronger, and the Love replacing fear. You know how when you are around some people, they charge you up with their energy and commitment, well when I think of Valentine’s Day, it is one way for me to recharge my heart with Light and Love in order for me to complete the work I came to do. May each of you remember why you are here. Have a Wonderful Valentine’s Day. With Light and Love, Sandy The “Secret” to Manifestingby Rev. Suzanne M. Angeli I’m sure by now everyone has heard of the book and the movie “THE SECRET”, about how you can manifest anything you want in your life. I read the book and saw the movie when it came out in 2006, and gave manifesting a try. Sadly, I did not achieve the results it promised, so I disregarded it as just another one of those books geared to sell copies and make money. However, after years of working to better myself, I came to understand more of what was needed in order to truly manifest what I wanted in my life. It wasn’t just about visualizing and wishing for what I wanted to manifest, but actually believing and feeling worthyof manifesting what I wanted. And all this stems from the mind. Our brain consists of the conscious and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is our day to day reasoning mind and our subconscious is our inner tape recorder. It records all thoughts, feelings and experiences of life. Interesting to note our subconscious mind is running our day 90-95% of the time, which means we are basically living on auto pilot. This way frees up the conscious mind from having to relearn the things we do habitually; driving the car, brushing our teeth, etc. Generally, up to the age of 6, the mind is structured to taking in information and storing it. This is the predominant brainwave pattern during this developmental stage. Without even realizing it, negative things said by others are recorded in the subconscious mind. Hearing or feeling things like; you are not good enough, life is hard, you are undeserving, etc., can begin to create a negative belief system within yourself. Knowing this, it stands to reason that you can affirm and visualize and wish consciously all you want, but if you truly believe deep down inside at the subconscious level, that you are not deserving or worthy of what you want, it will not happen. The two minds are not in agreement and the subconscious will prevail. So how do we change our negative subconscious thoughts? Since the subconscious mind is a tape recorder, we have to record over the negatives with positives. EFT tapping and brainwave entrainment can be very helpful. EFT tapping utilizes one of the body’s energy systems. The meridian system was discovered by the Chinese many, many years ago and is the system also utilized during acupuncture or acupressure. By lightly tapping with the finger tips on certain meridian points around the head and neck, while bringing to mind a negative thought, feeling or memory, we are able to release it. Then we can record a positive thought, using affirmations, to start establishing or creating a positive belief system in the subconscious mind. Brainwave entrainment can magnify tapping results. Sounds and music are used to ease the brain into different states of mind. According to Dr. Lee Bartel an expert in the field, “our brainwaves adjust to our sound environment so they vibrate in harmony”. The brainwave types are: Alpha – relaxed state such as in meditation, yoga or tai chi. Theta- deep meditation or in a dreaming or REM state. Delta- dreamless sleep. Beta- alert mind and daily functioning. By playing music primarily in the alpha or theta range, it puts you in a relaxed or meditative state when the mind is more receptive to incoming messages. So by tapping while playing the music, you create the perfect environment for the new thoughts to be recorded in the subconscious mind. Lastly, never underestimate the power of gratitude. Be grateful for all that you have and express it daily. Thank the Universe for what it has provided for you; thank the people around you for all that they do. And write it down. Writing or journaling is also beneficial to putting positives into the subconscious mind. With the use of tapping, brainwave entrainment, positive affirmations, and gratitude, I now had the tools needed to manifest what I wanted in my life. Realize and know that the Universe has an unending supply for each and every one of us. We are all deserving and worthy of the abundance life has to offer. We are only limited by our own thoughts in our own mind. Rev. Suzanne M. Angeli is a UCM ordained minister and spiritual healer practitioner, a Reiki Master, and has practiced meditation and Kriya yoga for over 10 years. She uses and has taught about tapping, relaxation, meditation, brainwave entrainment and energy balancing. She especially enjoys creating and performing unique wedding ceremonies.

Truly, there is nothing a parent desires more than their child’s happiness, health and success in life and when any of that is missing it breaks our hearts. Taking a spiritual approach to healing a child is a gentle and rapid way to address issues of health and psychology that brings lasting improvement on every level. When treating a child’s needs through spiritual healing, a skilled intuitive healer can connect telepathically with the child and have a parent on the phone to provide concrete information and feedback. This is much easier for the child than sitting through an appointment in someone’s office. But more importantly, when you talk with someone telepathically you can access higher levels of consciousness where they understand the issues and can clarify them for you. Telepathy allows the healer to work directly with the aspects of the soul that are damaged where and when the wounding occurred. For instance, where a child has had a bad reaction to an immunization shot, the healer can go to the moment before the injection was given and invite healing of the medicine itself prior to being given and clear negative effects before they occurred. Then they can work with the child’s body, aura and soul to undo the negative effects that they have suffered with a fair degree of ease and speed. I’ve seen fantastic results with this for children who had life-threatening immune system reactions to such shots where the doctors were surprised and thrilled that a child’s recovery took an unexpectedly positive direction after such a healing. Also with children who have had cognitive and personality changes due to immunizations and allergic responses to other medicines I have had wonderful fedback from parents and grandparents who were happy to have their children return to their sweet and intelligent selves following spiritual healing work. This approach is usually effective for children who have suffered traumas of any kind. For instance in treating emotional trauma due to death in the family, divorce, violence, abuse, abandonment or anything which generates a strong emotion that creates an irresolvable conflict within the child, spiritual healing can give the most complete improvements with the smallest investment. Parents report improvements in areas of self-confidence, motivation and relationships with others on a consistent basis. There are also situations where a child has contracted for a certain set of limitations and in those instances they may not be resolved immediately, but we can help the child and parents to work successfully with those situations for the greatest ease and good for all involved. Children are wonderful to work with in this way, because they are usually very open and willing. As with everyone, they have a journey that their life has taken for their soul’s growth and learning and often also for the growth of their parents and family members. So a spiritual healing may also address hereditary issues and the social aspects of their family dynamics. Often these issues can be addressed successfully, bringing a greater sense of peace and unity to the family and freedom and wholeness to the individuals. Rev. Eve Wilson has been a Healer and trainer of Healers since 1986. Her trainings are available in person in Ann Arbor, MI and by live Skype or phone connection as well.

As a part of their inquiries I am often asked how the Education Committee choose the books for the Degree Program. The Degree Program was developed from my personal credentialing program. Solar Cross “A New Beginning” was my UCM Charter and it was a California Postsecondary School and Wellness Center as well as a continuing education provider for nurses. The mission statement was to introduce spiritual healing models or complementary modalities to the western healthcare community, to empower those who were ill with additional tools for managing the illness, and to teach my ministerial students that each individual they worked with was a part of the Divine. Being a minister to me involves service, personal responsibility and creating a sacred space for everyone you work with. It is important to realize carrying the title of Minister or Reverend holds a sacred trust spiritually and legal requirements at the human level. I wanted to create dialogue and chose to do this by creating a curriculum that combined my ministerial students with nurses and to this mix I added individuals challenged with critical illness. Those who were dealing with illness were offered the program at no charge. From the astounding dialogue that occurred, the Degree Program was born. It was originally used by Solar Cross “A New Beginning” as a remote credentialing program and later became the Associate and Bachelor Degree for UCM. The intent then and now is to create a personal vision quest for each student via the choice of curriculum and their interaction with degree staff. UCM is a multi-faith organization and does not mandate a specific path. The degree program allows the student to be introduced to teachings from around our globe. They find what resonates with them and by doing so creates their personal path to the Divine and thus their ministry. Once a month via the Sacred Times I will introduce you to some of the books that are a part of the degree program. Hopefully as we journey you will find that you might be called to the ministry and whether you choose the Degree or Credentialing Programs we are happy to have you as a part of the UCM family. The first book in the Associate Program is The Power of Myth, by Joseph Campbell. Joseph Campbell 1904-1987 was, in my opinion, one of the great mythologist, folk and symbolist teachers of our time. His information is still being taught in schools today and I would encourage you to visit his foundation,http://www.jcf.org. This particular book teaches that myth has been used for centuries by humanity to educate, inform, create a cohesive society and show our children and ourselves how to be better humans and members of society. Joseph Campbell, in my opinion, also does a terrific job of showing how cultures who have lost their myths lose their cultural identity and how if this culture does not develop another myth there is a break down of the society. Most of the students are fascinated to learn that George Lucas brought Joseph Campbell to his Skywalker Ranch to learn more about myth and the hero’s journey as he created Star Wars. There are significant archetypes used throughout the Star Wars storyline. I like to think of Lucas as creating, in his own way, a myth for our times. Part of the Degree Program study of this book is to allow the student to delve into their societal, family and personal myths. We all have them and they define and inform our lives whether we realize it or not. When we understand this, I believe we truly begin our personal vision quest. Stay tuned for next months book as we review The Once and Future Goddess. Reverend Angela DeBry, H.H.D., D.D. Universal Church of the Master Dean of Education rev.angeladebry@u-c-m.org

                                            Editor: Reverend Felecia Mulvany, D.D.

Presidents Message  Reverend Sandy Clark, D.D. January 2013      New Year’s Greetings to you all! May this year be filled with Light and Love for each of you. May you dance on your pathway of life sharing your Light of Love with all you encounter, doing what you love. With Light and Love, Sandy Spiritual Clearing Cycles 1987 – 2015 Legacy of the Harmonic Convergence   By Reverend Angela DeBry, H.H.D, D.D. Once again Dale and I have had an opportunity to spend  some time at Mount Shasta. Most of our friends know this is really a sacred place to our family. We started backpacking there in 1975 and continued throughout our kid’s childhood. The Golden Bough Bookstore has been the place where many revelations have come to me. Once again while in meditation at Panther Meadows it came to me that it was important to take a look at the next cycles of energy that we would be seeing on the earth. My interests in the cycles began during the Harmonic Convergence when so many legends about the Rainbow Tribes were being written and talked about. These individuals, according to legend, would be awakened to help Earth in a time of great need. This Rainbow Tribe legend seemed very important to me back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Now with Global Warming it seems almost prophetic to speak of these individuals. It seems that this awakening or birthing if you will takes time, energy and yes, for those of you who are Moms, it take birthing pains. We birth our own clearing process and in doing so we birth the clearing process for the planet. We birth new energies and new paradigms to work with. These energies are supportive, meant to help the Earth and all of us on her to cleanse and clear. Okay, I can hear many of you yelling, “I can’t take how things have speeded up now”. Yes, you can! Remember we are here physically to ground into the planet “physically” these sacred energies. We all have lots of support from Guidance, Spirit, God/Goddess, Great Spirit, Buddha, Allah and any other spiritual guidance or model that you embrace. As spiritual groups and individual’s travel from Sacred Space to Sacred Space we imprint these energies onto the Earth’s grid work and facilitate a filter on Earth so that the new energies will be incorporated in a less intense manner. Remember our goal is to reach a 20% spiritual consciousness on the planet. That level allows us to reach a place on the planet of symbiosis and tolerance. This is a spiritual as well as physical place where we can agree to disagree, a place where we can find global solutions to the challenges facing Earth and all the life forms on her. As we clear, Earth clears. Know that we have the ability if we work together and know that in each age of change there are pathfinders and leaders. The family of UCM has been a pathfinder and leader as far back as 1908. We allowed women ministers when other churches did not. We embraced our diversity and gifts of Spirit. We are a powerful family with great abilities. We are being given the opportunity to take a message of tolerance, understanding, diversity, and peace into the world. We aren’t fighting about whose God/Goddess is bigger, better, more truthful, right or wrong. We are embracing all manifestations of Spirit on this planet. We are choosing to no longer be the best kept secret on the planet.

A Peaceful InterludeBy Reverend Eve WilsonReprinted with permission from Body Mind Spirit Guide Magazinewww.bodymindspiritguide.comWhen you need a break but don’t have much time, take a 10 – 15 minute time lapse vacation! You’ll come back relaxed and ready to face the world. It’s guaranteed to refresh you and help you find your center. Let me tell you how!1) Find a quiet place, even if it’s just in a parked car with the seat tipped back or the only room in your house with a lock on the door (the bathroom) has been used to good effect in necessity! You’re only going to need a few minutes, so it’s no problem. 2) Close your eyes and breathe into your belly and sink down into yourself, letting the outer world go for just a bit. From deep within ask yourself this question: Where would I like to be right now? The first thing that comes up usually works, although you may choose otherwise if you like. 3) Go to that place with all of your feelings and imagination. Taste it, smell it, see it, feel it, be there… 4) Ask yourself how long you need to be there in order to find your center of peace and balance within. You might need a week, or a month or three years…whatever! 5) Imagine the days and nights passing, with the rising and setting of the sun, with activities that you love, experience them as fully as your imagination allows. Let yourself feel the time passing and you will get more and more relaxed. Your emotional/feeling self doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality and time is always right now, so you can spend a year and a half in your imagination while only spending 15 minutes in real time. Yet, you will relax deeply and feel refreshed as though much time had passed. Just tell yourself that you are spending lots of time by imagining it passing with the rising and setting of the sun, the light and the dark of day and night, sleeping and waking, eating and playing, sunbathing…whatever! Really let yourself go into the experience but you don’t need to have all the details, your unconscious will fill those in or do fine without them. Definitely don’t bother imagining the planning, packing bags, paying for anything…those you can leave out of your imagination. Just do the fun part! Stay with this until you feel ready to come back to your life. During one challenging period of my life, I felt like I needed 3 years off in a favorite place that is far away; I needed to be alone without working, without my child, just space for me. Since that wasn’t an option, I took two 15 min. time lapse vacations over two days. After the second one I felt like I could return to my life, fulfill my contracts here in Michigan and be at peace with that choice. I no longer needed to escape. Since then I have taught this exercise to lots of other stressed out people and they have found it to be a wonderfully peaceful interlude that refreshed them and allowed them to find peace within selves, with the people they loved and the people they worked with. I hope you will find it beneficial too! Rev. Eve Wilson has been a Healer and trainer of Healers since 1986.

Sacred Times                                                        Editor: Reverend Felecia Mulvany, D.D.  Universal Church of the Master 1361 S Winchester Blvd Suite 115, San Jose CA 95128 408-370-6519 www.u-c-m.org  Presidents Message  Reverend Sandy Clark, D.D. December 2012    I love this time of the year, magic is in the air. I remember as a child being so excited about Santa’s upcoming arrival and the joy of anticipation. In addition my mother baked cookies, it seemed like every day, and the house always smelled so good! Magic was in the air for me. Going outside at night and seeing the lights on the houses and trees made me feel like I was in fairy land (to be honest it still does!). I was shopping earlier this month and found an elf that seems so real to me, I could not leave him at the store, plus he goes very well with a reindeer that I found last year. I decided to bring them to the office and put them on my desk since I seem to be here more than I am home, and let them share their magic with everyone who comes into the office. The other day I was sent the following email. I do not know the author but wanted to share this with all of you. Recently I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the father said, “I love you, and I wish you enough”.   The daughter replied, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too dad.”   They kissed and the daughter left. The father walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking “Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?”   “Yes I have” I replied. “Forgive me for asking; but why is this time a forever good-bye?” “I am old, and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is – the next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said. When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, “I wish you enough.” May I ask what that means? He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone…” He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail, and he smiled even more. “When we said, I wish you enough we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them.” Then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.   I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting. I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.   He then began to cry and walked away. My gift to you is I wish you enough as as we enter this Holiday Season. With Light and Love, Sandy A Foundation for LoveBy Reverend Eve Wilson Reprinted with permission from Body Mind Spirit Guide Magazinewww.bodymindspiritguide.com Seek love first within your own heart. Find it in the little things in your days and nights. Find it in the bathroom mirror, when you look into your own eyes and remember that the eternal and divine is within you and within everything. Love is a way of being and a way of interacting with life, where you make every act significant and every moment a gift to the creator. If God lived within you (and he/she does) what would God do today? How would he/she respond to your circumstances? Love yourself when you are angry because anger is fear that we aren’t loved and safe. So, open to that place within yourself where you recognize that your fear is a child and love yourself where you are small and wounded. Forgive yourself for being unkind when you feel this way. You are precious and divine. Give thanks for the things in life that stress you out, they are your greatest teachers. They ask you to find muscles and courage and power that you didn’t believe you owned. Being God in human form, all things exist within you in potential, but you may need to work harder to realize some gifts that you haven’t already mastered. Remember that you are eternal and unbreakable and a one of a kind gift of the creator. Listen to the still, small voice within. If it tells you that something is not what it seems, honor your inner wisdom. If it seems too good to be true, give it time, wait for it to reveal itself fully. If it feels right, but looks wrong, investigate further and ask – is this perhaps a step in the right direction, but perhaps not what I ultimately desire? Don’t believe your eyes and your ears if your inner self tells you otherwise. Within you is the ability to know the truth, even though you don’t know how you know. Trust this; it is your most precious gift. Pay attention. You are a precious gift of the divine and every moment, every circumstance, every act is an opportunity to master the gift that is your life. Be thankful for that. It is only through living through the days and nights of our lives that we realize the innate power that we possess. Being yourself is the only opportunity you have to know God. If you try to be what someone else wants you to be, if you judge yourself for being different, you miss the point and you waste your time. You are exactly perfect in each moment, exactly as you are. Who you are right now is the foundation for who you will be tomorrow. You don’t have to be the pinnacle of perfection in an ultimate sense. Build on what is genuine and you will find fulfillment, joy and love. Rev. Eve Wilson has been a Healer and trainer of Healers since 1986.

There may be a multitude of reasons for humanities interest in music, for example curiosity must have happened when certain vibrations were made and intense feelings were stimulated; the euphoria that is experienced which activated altered states of consciousness and yet others have seen miracles of healing take place during certain musical ceremonies. Current research is showing that the ancients knew a lot about vibrations and the effects on the human consciousness and body. One thing for sure music creates vibrations that effect humans spiritually, as well as physically. What is Music? According to Hazrat Inayat Khan in his book The Mysticism of Sound and Music, he states: According to the esoteric standpoint, music is the beginning and end of the universe. All actions and movements made in the visible and invisible world are musical. That is: they are made up of vibrations pertaining to a certain plane of existence. 1 Further into Khan’s book he talks about: “…the origin of the whole creation is in movement, in other words: in vibration. It is this original state of the existence of life which is called in the ancient tradition sound, or the word. The first manifestation of this sound is therefore audible, the next manifestation visible. In the forms of expression of life, life has expressed itself first as sound, next as light. This is supported by the Bible where it is said that first was the word, and then came light. Again one finds in a Sura of the Qur’an: ‘God is the light of the heaven and the earth’.2 According to the Sanskrit thinkers there are three aspects of music: singing, playing and dancing. All three represent rhythm, and all three represent tone in some form or other. And what is the effect of music? The effect of music is to regularize the rhythm and to tune a person to the music that is being performed…It is the tone of that music which tunes the soul, and raises it above the depression and despair of everyday life in this world. If one knew what rhythm is needed for a particular individual in his trouble and despair, what tone is needed, and to what tone that person’s soul should be raised, then one could heal a person with music…There was a time in India when music was used for healing. It was healing for the mind, for the character, and healing for the soul. For it is health of the soul that brings health to the physical body, but healing of the physical body does not always help the soul…3 There is an ancient Hermetic Principle which states that the universe is nothing but vibrations. Many ancient Mystery Schools stressed the importance of color and sound and training the senses to feel subtle vibrations of the universe. This is currently active in Mystery Schools today. The Use of Spiritual Music throughout Human History Current research in acoustical archeology is realizing that ancient temples were built with sound vibrational chambers; many made with sacred geometry connected to the dimensions of the human body. Some sound chambers when activated bring an individual into an altered state very rapidly, a state in which healing and divine contact can be experienced. Within these chambers all vibrations interact with each other and develop resonant frequencies. Many researchers have discovered that every organ, bone and tissue in our body has its own separate resonant frequency. Together they make up a composite frequency, a harmonic that is our own personal vibratory signature. This signature encircles our whole body as a field, which is called an aura. The different rhythms of the body may be changed through sound. This is known as entrainment. This involves the ability of one powerful rhythmic vibration to change a less powerful rhythmic vibration and eventually synchronize their rhythms and merge together creating a different sound. Indigenous civilizations from past to present have utilized drumming, singing and dancing in their sacred ceremonies. Through sound, such as chanting, overtone singing, drumming and fluting it is possible to change the rhythmic pattern of our brain waves, as well as our heart beat and respiration.

Always By Reverend Jack Schwarz I want to lay hold of rainbow’s end, and track it upward over the bend to where its magical colors blend. In the sheen of the infinite sea to always have faith in thee. I want to see in the violet eyes the mystic glory of sunset skies, and share the ages’ stark surprise, such health it then would be, for always there for me to see. I want to know whence truth is sown, from what fair flower is beauty blown, where justice build her royal throne. For Universal sway truth always is there to stay. And who it is that lights the star, the planets – Venus, Neptune, Mars. Who lifts the night’s strong prison bars, let’s in the golden day, be it so always, as it may. I want to win my heart this world, Its every banner and flag unfurled. As from the Creator’s hand it whirled on its ageless quest, for always to show its best. Share the passion of human-kind, the power of will and mind, delve to life’s inmost realms to find, their light and Love, as is always and always in the above.

UCM Sacred Times Newsletter

Sacred Times                          Editor: Reverend Felecia Mulvany, D.D.  Universal Church of the Master 1361 S Winchester Blvd Suite 115, San Jose CA 95128 408-370-6519 www.u-c-m.org Presidents Message Reverend Sandy Clark, D.D. November 2012 I have recently been reminded of some old lessons I thought I had worked through but as we know we are only able to get in touch and let go of part of them. Sometimes a bigger chunk more than others, but we keep getting the opportunity to give it another go so to speak. I like to say that is what life is all about. No time table, we have a lifetime. I was quite mad at myself because I had found myself in a place I thought I had already worked through. It is easy to get sucked back in. I have always felt it was spirits way of asking “did I really want to let go of my old beliefs.” The good part of my story is that I recognized what had happened (well to be truthful the recognition came after being hit on the head by a two by four) and have been able to stop that backward, to me, motion. The difficult part now, is that I am in new territory, and learning how to walk again! I know I am not the only one in this situation. With the changes in energy surrounding all of us, we are all learning to walk again. May all our baby steps become giant leaps of Faith. In Light and Love, Sandy The Era of 2012and the Age of Inner Transformation By Reverend Richard Jelusich, Ph.D. It is the era of 2012; the time of the Inner Transformation. As the advanced teachings of ancient cultures like the Mayans, there really is an alignment to the Galactic Center and periodic alignments of planets, solar systems and galaxies do induce the transformation of consciousness to a higher state of being. It really is true that you are a luminous being of light who also possesses a physical presence. It really is true that December 21st is the end of a 5115 year cycle, a 26,000 year cycle, and a 62 million year cycle. It really is true that you and 7 billion of your fellow spirits have incarnated in this era to participate in the mass inner transformation to a higher state of being that is very little like the reality we are experiencing now. It is true that there is a photon belt and a huge magnetic bubble that our solar system is approaching. It is true that increased magnetic fields induce greater mental acuity, memory and psychic abilities. It is true that advanced human civilization goes back more than 6,000 years, to many millions of years in the past. Yet many in the U.S. believe the Earth to be only 6,000 years old. It is true that we are experiencing more rapid growth in the past 60 years than we have in the past 600 years. Where is the 2012 era headed? A birth is not without some kind of labor pains, and the newness of one’s birth is like nothing that came before. As we appear to be approaching the limits of our abilities to absorb and integrate information in our minds, so also there are many distractions because of our information era as well. We are IN the golden age: it is transpiring as we speak. The 2012 era is not apocalyptic or catastrophic. It is not the movie actor John Cusak heading for the Himilayas to get on the arc in the face of impending tsunamis and massive earthquakes. It is not the end of the world, magnetic pole reversal, solar flares and E.T.’s. 2012 is indeed about earthquakes, but they are earthquakes of your mind, not the planet. The ancients, who were you, knew about the cyclicalities and periodicities of space/time. They understood their luminous nature and that in the physical dimension there would be certain alignments of planets, solar systems and galaxies that would be ‘punctuated equilibrium’: moments in space/time that would facilitate a rise in consciousness, IF the people were focused on their true spiritual nature, and not only on the physical dimension.

It seems to me that so many of us are evolving. Feeling “What’s the next step?” or being drawn to some next step. That’s been true for me too. I’ve been working on a new program I’m offering, worked with a graphic artist to create the new banner for the Angelic Journeys website, and did a re-design of the site. That has been a very powerful and creative process. These have all been exciting changes for me, yet change can make us uncomfortable sometimes. Sometimes we notice that we are resisting, or perhaps the change truly is a difficult one to go through. In the spirit of this, I thought I’d give you a sample Angelic EFT tapping script for dealing with change. If you are unfamiliar with EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), you can start by watching a short video to learn how to “tap”. (Click here to watch) Here is a script of statements you can use to tap with on the subject of dealing with change. Before you start, let’s call our angels to us so that they can assist; filling the space with Love and Light and healing energy. Think about and get in touch with the emotions around Change. Set up statements (side of the hand): Even though I’m resisting this change, I deeply and completely love and accept myself. Even though I’m having a really hard time with this change, I accept myself anyway. Even though I’m really anxious about this change, I’m open to feeling better about it, right now. Top of head: This anxiety Eyebrow: This change Side of Eye: It’s causing anxiety Cheekbone: I don’t like change Under nose: It makes me feel anxious Chin: I feel the anxiety in my body Collarbone: I release the fear of change Under arm: This fear really doesn’t serve me Top of head: What if this change really is a good thing? Eyebrow: But I don’t like change Side of eye: I choose to release the fear around change Cheekbone: It really doesn’t serve me Under nose: This change might be leading me to something great Chin: I am open to believing that this is true Collarbone: I ask my angels to help me with this Under arm: I choose to trust in the divine plan Top of head: I release the anxiety and fear Eyebrow: Those just muddle up my vision Side of eye: I am open to clarity about this change Cheekbone: I can trust that I’ll be divinely led to any action steps I need to take Under nose: What if this is leading me to something wonderful? Chin: I choose to release the fear now! Collarbone: I am open to seeing the positives in this change Under arm:   And in this positive mindset, I lift my vibration Top of head: As I lift my vibration, I align with infinite possibilities Eyebrow: There are so many possibilities available Side of Eye: I am open to receiving goodness in my life Cheekbone: I’m excited to see what the Divine has in store for me! Under nose: I choose to trust Chin: I am open to shifting to believing in a wonderful outcome Collarbone: I choose that for myself now Under arm:   And so it is! Thank you, Angels! Take in a nice deep breath. How are you feeling now? Has the intensity gone down? Are you feeling more peaceful about it? If the intensity hasn’t gone down as much as you’d like, you can do the whole sequence again. Add in your own words to make it more specific to your own situation if you’d like. Often when we do this process, we clear the emotion and it allows for another thought or feeling or memory to come up. It could be a memory of a time when a particular change was hard for you (often from childhood). Tap on that memory. You can make your statements something like: That time when I was ten and we moved; I hated moving; I had to leave all my friends; I hate change; it’s hard; I didn’t want to move; my parents made me; moving sucked!; change sucks!; etc, etc. Just keep tapping and keep “spewing” the words and feelings that are coming up for you. It’s powerful stuff! I’d love to hear from you on how the tapping worked for you! Min.

By Reverend Felecia Mulvany, D.D. These are very challenging times. Our choices create our reality and the level of challenges we face both individually and collectively. This time in history will be one of those times future humans look back to and hopefully learn from. Our galaxy is currently being absorbed by the Milky Way galaxy (a higher vibration then ours) which is coinciding with the end of the Mayan calendar on Dec 21, 2012. There are also planetary alignments that are affecting us, assisting us on our journey and giving us every opportunity to clear the old and embrace the new. If we can remain mindful of what is actually happening it will be easier to stay at our centers, as the witness. This allows us to be an observer, detached but still aware, instead of being in a state of reacting. Reacting allows our energies to sink lower, creating more challenges for us. The November election has been a timely opportunity for us to practice our mindfulness, detachment, and our ability to discern the truth. Those sinking into lower vibrations are using this time to trick, manipulate, and deceive others in order to hold on to their old beliefs and old ways. Its time to rely on ourselves for the truth, the truth that is uniquely ours, for this is both a personal journey and a planetary journey in an amazing time in history which we have all chosen to participate and grow in. We have a plethora of choices, one of those being how we view and experience our reality. Examples: Are you choosing to stay the witness and be in awe of the incredible opportunities for growth? Are you choosing to dig your heels in and hang on to the old? Are you choosing to be a victim? Are you choosing to do nothing, not take responsibility for your own actions, and just bounce wherever creation takes you? Are you choosing to stay the witness but sometimes loose your balance and temporarily fall into another reality until you can find your balance again? Are you choosing love or hate? Whatever we choose to experience isn’t good or bad, hard or easy. It is just our personal experience, our personal path in the evolution of our soul. Who and how we are in the creations is our choice and our responsibility. What are you choosing? Sending love, light and blessings to all! Rev. Felecia Mulvany, D.D. Reverend Felecia Mulvany, currently UCM Vice President, Trustee and Associate Dean of the Seminary, was instrumental in the creation and accreditation of the UCM under graduate and graduate degree programs. She teaches Reiki, color energy therapy, meditation, Past Life Regression, Soul Retrieval, a 13 month Advanced Master Healers Course and sponsors students for the ministry. She creates and performs custom ceremonies for many religions, Sunday services, spiritual retreats and home/office blessings and clearings. Recognizing this is not a “one size fits all” planet, Reverend Mulvany is dedicated to helping others find their individual paths of enlightenment and feels that UCM, with its absence of dogma, is an essential spiritual community which fosters just that.   Classes and Events The Sacred Times is published around the middle of each month. Class/event submissions must be received by the 5th of the month to be posted in that months newsletter and will remain in the newsletter until the class/event date has expired. Please submit a brief class description to taff@u-c-m.org with date, time and cost along with contact information and links for more information.

We discourage adherence to rigid dogmas and tenets, believing that each person must find and travel his/her own path in the Light, and that no single set of fixed rules is applicable to everyone in their spiritual quest. From its earliest years, UCM has emphasized spiritual healing, prophecy and demonstrations of the continuity of life beyond the transition commonly called “death”. As we move closer to world unity and a new age of Universal Brotherhood and Sisterhood, UCM is now placing greater attention upon training and developing the spiritual powers of its ministers to bring us into this new “Golden Age”.

Presidents Message  Reverend Sandy Clark, D.D. October 2012    I love this time of the year! Summer is not quite over, the weather is still nice all though a bit cooler in the morning and evening, and the leaves add color and freshness to the air. I know that does not make a whole lot of sense but to me the air is different. I associate it with the leaves turning, pumpkins out on porches, and the end of harvesting vegetables planted last spring. Plus since it is cooler, windows and doors are closed in the house and the smell of food being cooked permeates my home (when I cook!) My aunt gave me a recipe for soup some time ago; it has barley, celery, carrots, hamburger, a base of tomato juice, along with allspice and some other seasonings that smell so good when it is cooking. Of course I serve garlic bread with it and my house smells like “home”. I guess what I am trying to say is this time of the year is like home to me. Now it is time to get to work, school is back in session, summer vacation is over and it’s time to clear those cobwebs out of my mind and ego and get ready for the New Year. I need to clear away the old that is no longer of benefit to me and let Spirit bring in the new lessons that await me. I was reminded recently to let go of what I wanted, and let Spirit take care of the situation, the outcome might be better than what I expected. May your outcomes be better than you expected. With Light and Love, Sandy

Ascension – Peace at the Core by Eve Wilson There is peace at the core of chaos. Where you see the world struggling during this time of great change, where it seems as though everything might be falling apart; the good news is that it is under reconstruction. The process is called ascension and at the core of all the change is emerging a new world that is permeated with God Consciousness and a deeper unity than we have known. It is true that the world as we know it is crumbling around us. This is happening physically on the planet, socially, financially and politically in the human world and within our own bodies and souls. The force which is instigating this change is the power of love and truth at the core of all of life. The time has come for the birthing of that love and truth. As it emerges, the old world energies begin to disintegrate, making room for the new experience. As humans living during this transition we need to let go of that which is passing away and orient toward the peaceful core of truth which is being born within yourself and within all of life, otherwise it can be a painful and fearful time. I can perceive this new world which is emerging with my spiritual senses. I don’t see all the forms yet, but I feel its sweet, clear loving energy growing stronger as time goes by. My intuitive perception tells me that most of the big changes will be finished in about 15 years and things will be really good by then.   By 20 years from now things will be amazingly new and good.   In the intervening years we will experience the death and rebirth process required to instigate these changes which have been already in process for some time. These changes are about 70% gentler than most predictions have foreseen due to active participation by so many people in raising God Consciousness on earth. Focus on the rebirth that is happening to enjoy these changes and find peace at the core of the chaos they bring. Click here to read more  Rev.

Karen Lane I am a vigiler; I sit with the dying and support their families. Death was always something I tried to avoid, and did so successfully until my mom passed in Dec. of 2010. Our relationship was always pretty good, with the usual lack of respect sometimes on my part and a few misunderstandings. When she moved to California upon the death of my stepfather, we grew closer. She helped me raise my sons and we shared many close moments. I had no idea that my mom would become my spiritual teacher and mentor when she passed from this world to the next. When she was 90, a year before her death, she started to talk about it and yearn for it. She said many times she was ready to go. I don’t think I really got it; I just always thought she’d be there. Finally, about 4 weeks before her death she had a bad fall, breaking her sacrum. She went into the Care Center at the Meadows where she lived and never returned to her apartment again. She refused physical therapy, became agitated then depressed. She spiked a fever one night and was sent to the ER for a battery of tests. Of course there were no answers. A very kind doctor said to me, “Karen, she’s dying.” My mom and I talked and decided on hospice. She seemed very relieved. It was a huge reality check for me. We didn’t have much time, so we said the things we needed to say to each other, how much we loved each other, seeing her parents on the other side, and forgave things. My sons and daughter-in-law spent precious moments with her.   The drugs began and she passed in 6 days. My journey with my mom those 6 days and the next year were a life altering experience for me. It was what brought me to vigiling. I have my mother to thank for teaching me about dying and the happiness awaiting us all on the other side. What a beautiful gift she’s given and I want to share it with others!  Click here to read more Minister Karen Lane is a hairstylist, and a part time instructor at SJCC as well as a volunteer. You may contact her for more information and for vigiling and advocacy for your family or friends at tespiral@aol.comor 408 204 8945. She is currently working on her reverendship and developing a training called Care of the Dying for Clergy.   LOVE  By Judith Küsel There is immense love in everything and even just in being alive. When one truly opens oneself to the immense possibilities of life and love itself, then miracles happen. So many people associate love or the state of being in love, with having a partner or then having someone to love and adore and who loves and adores one in return. Yes, that is one single strand in the immensity of love.  Love has multiple strands, indeed thousands of them – more than you can even comprehend – for love itself has a thousand faces. When we focus so much on just experiencing the ONE kind of love, we are short-selling ourselves on so many aspects and nuances of love itself. For deep down, at soul level, we are connected to the vaster cosmic sea, and there-in lies the endless possibilities of exploring, expressing and experiencing the multiple strands of love and higher loving. When we allow ourselves to truly open up to the endless being in love state, on a higher collective scale, we find that there is love everywhere…. When we connect to animals, we find this love.  It is in the eyes of love and devotion in a pet… It is in the beautiful blossoming of flowers, the abundance of nature…. it is in the caress of wind on our faces… it is in the surf playing with our feet…. it is in the very air we breathe in… the food we digest… it is in everything we encounter…. When we consciously seek to send love to all and everything and love is returned to us in million of ways. It is wise sometimes, to just get quiet, and then consciously beam love to all those lost souls on this planet – the ones whose daily lives are one of hunger and despair.  It is wise to consciously beam love, into the war zones, into the places of upheavals and strive… You can extend that by zoning into your own area and then encircling that in love. Click here to read more Judith Küsel has been Librarian most of her life – when about four years ago, during an immense dark night of the soul, she asked herself why she had been born in Africa. After receiving a vision, and being stood at the edge of a cliff and shown the whole world waiting for her, and asked how long is she going to wait to here to take the plunge and assist the planet. She was shown how an eagle learnt to fly – by its mother throwing it out of the rest. Since then she has been on the most amazing journey of her life – and inner and outer one and she has shared her profound mystical insights and teachings with people all over the world, on her Facebook page:judithkusel@facebook.com and her blogwww.judithkusel.wordpress.com. Her profound interest in the soul and how the soul was created and what it consists of has led her to remember how to read people’s soul records and she does soul readings, to reconnect people to their own souls and their true higher calling in life. In this way she assists the higher healing and activation of the soul and collective higher healing of mankind. She is in the process of writing books about her experiences and is sharing amazing sacred information, which is now being returned to the planet and which has been held in custody for mankind in the sacred portals of South-Eastern Africa. Her soul is called upon to bring these higher sacred teachings back to mankind.  Her writings, teachings, insights, wisdom and soul readings have helped and inspired and healed people from all over the world.

Sacred Times                                                        Editor: Reverend Felecia Mulvany, D.D.  Universal Church of the Master 1361 S Winchester Blvd Suite 115, San Jose CA 95128 408-370-6519 www.u-c-m.org  Presidents Message  Reverend Sandy Clark, D.D.    Here are the pictures of our new office space. The courtyard view is from our door, followed by our main entry area and my office. There are still a few boxes to unpack, but most of the work is done! Again my thanks to all of you who helped with the move, we could not have done it without you. With this move we certainly have had unexpected challenges, no internet for three weeks, rearranging Corky’s desk area, and putting items away and not being able to find them again, (we did not mark the box or drawer properly). I am sure none of that has ever happened to any of you. Moving brings about change; changes in our routines, changes about how we feel about what we are doing, and a different perspective on everything, even if it is a slight one. What was important may no longer be at the top of the list so to speak. I am feeling change in part because of the office move, however I also am feeling change in the air on my walk in the morning, the air is just a bit cooler, there are some geese (30 or so) heading towards warmer weather that have made a rest stop in the park across the street from where I live. It’s September, school has started, leaves are turning colors, and yes football season has begun. Change is here. May the changes in your life be welcome, enabling you to let the Light in your heart shine even brighter to those you come in contact with.     Fall Miracle  By Reverend Jane Elizabeth Unland, D.D. Across the street, lemon-yellow leaves pop against black-green redwood fronds. A gentle breeze stirs the gold-oranges, the orange-reds, the lingering stubborn greens on our walnut tree. Colour, Colour, Color…everywhere. Variegated complex, stunning beauty. The last brilliant gasp of vibrant life. Are people Fall too? Do we dance our most showy dance only after a lifetime of ho-hum moments? The golden years, the empty nest, retirement! Fierce magnificent knowledge…perhaps wisdom. Finally We dance knowing complexity is beauty, the multitude of colours: every raucous moment freed in laughter every pain in a Living body every unexpected twist in life plans every apparently Not too heavy burden every wineglass clink of celebration Complex lifetime colours. Fall is hope of late life’s understanding. We twirl in the center of glorious Colours. We bask in completed seasons. We Are Fall Colours! Brilliant Complex Beautiful Glorious Love is more than tolerance – Love is deep humility By Reverend Pamela McHenry Love is more than tolerance – Love is deep humility. Part of growing is appreciating others for who they are, even if they do not appreciate you. Even if people do themselves and others harm consciously or unconsciously, we need to be careful to not get caught up in their drama. We all need to learn what love really is and no sense getting snarled up in our own or others’ personality egos. That is a trap and can only set us back. Best to continue to pray for guidance, stay centered and see others in Love and Light. We all need to work on letting go of false beliefs and distorted thinking and get into our individuality ego. This is part of our earthly experience. This is all about aligning ourselves with God’s love so we can continue being in the stream of life, the connection that we all need and seek. We can’t blame others for falling short of this knowing, we are all learning to know this. Patience, love and humility. Tolerance is the pain of not yet being in the flow of Deep Humility which is God’s love. We can all work on tolerance and know the gift of tolerance is deep humility. Pamela McHenry is an ordained minister at U.C.M. Pamela has been a student of metaphysics for 30 years and her passion is being on the spiritual path. Pamela offers spiritual counseling and is a practicing astrologer. For several years she had a syndicated column writing for NBC. While employed as a research associate at California Medical Center in San Francisco, Pamela co-authored four papers that were published in mainstream medical journals on integrative medicine. Another passion Pamela has is helping people look younger longer with her anti-aging business.

Presidents Message  Reverend Sandy Clark    I do not know about any of you, but the energy in our world today for me has been anything but smooth! I hate to admit that the other day trying to get to the office early; I was behind a car for a red light. No problem, it was a long light, at least it felt that way to me, and after a short time I noticed the driver in the car ahead of me start to reach for something on the floor of the passenger seat. Now the light turns green, this person is not paying attention and holding up the line to proceed through the intersection. As soon as I realized what was happening I laid my hand on the horn of my car so fast I startled myself. I cannot remember the last time I used the car horn. I was so surprised at my swift reaction that it took my breath away. Talk about getting hit on the head with a two by four. With our office move my regular routine has been challenged. Things are not in the places they were before, and we decided we had room for bookcases and books that we had not originally believed we would have space for. Those bookcases are in the process of being moved in today. Then there are the boxes of books to bring in and unpack. I had really expected we would be organized and back up to speed so to speak by now, that is not the case. As with the move here at the office, I find my personal life in a bit of a whirl, and in looking around me, it appears so are many of you. When I am finding myself feeling a bit stressed, I am taking a deep breath, exhaling the feelings of frustration and anger and taking another breath filled with Love and Light, continuing to do that until my body feels relaxed and I am able to work again. Today there have been four things requiring my time and attention at the same time. None of them are two minute projects. I have been taking a lot of deep breaths. Many of you have heard me say, no matter what, the sun will still come up in the morning, regarding frustrations we may have about how something is coming along or something we have done that did not go well or as expected. I truly believe that we did the best we could at the time, over a given situation. This does not take into consideration hind sight. We can only work with the information we have at the time, that is where the lesson comes from. We learn from our experience, how to either do it better, or not to do it again. Our world is filled with fear at the moment; my commitment is to bring Light into the darkness even if it is one breath at a time. Sometimes Sprit has to remind me I need to be breathing more. My plan for the next issue is to have pictures of the organized office! Let’s see what spirit has in mind. I want you to know we now have an editor for our UCM on-line magazine. Reverend Mary Garry, our newest Trustee has volunteered to assume this responsibility. Mary will need the same support that you all gave to our previous editor, Reverend Angela DeBry. Angela is helping to bring Mary up to speed and they hope to have the transitional issue magazine out soon. With Light and Love, Sandy   Lost By David Wagoner (1999) Courtesy of Core Wisdom®   Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you are not lost. Wherever you are is called “Here,” And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, Must ask permission to know it and be known. The forest breathes. Listen. It answers, I have made this place around you. If you leave it, you may come back again, saying “Here.” No two trees are the same to Raven. No two branches are the same to Wren. If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you, You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows where you are. You must let it find you.       . Balance Through the Goddess By Mary Byrns I give up! That’s what I told myself when I found I could not be part of a commemoration of the temple of Murugan, during our contracted stay in Singapore. Back in 2009, there was an e-mail informing certain followers of Siva Baba (to whom I was introduced and learning certain principles from), that the temple, which underwent renovation December of 2009, would be consecrated on the 17th of January, 2010. I asked a friend the day before the grand opening if she would be attending and she said no, but she advised me to go early. I was on time, but I found after I made my way through crowds and overpasses that I wasn’t allowed to go in. One had to have a special pass or invitation to get past the guards.   Many people parked themselves on the road overpass, at the gas station across the street from the temple, on the grassy road dividers separating roads, just to hear the ceremony reverberating through loudspeakers, which was spoken in Tamil, the local language of the South Indian community here in Singapore. I took pictures and walked back to the car, wondering why the Siva Baba organizers did not tell us a special invite was needed. I went over the e-mail in my mind and understood that the message did not specifically say that the faithful were invited to come to the gathering. It was merely an informative message telling Baba’s followers what was happening relevant to Baba’s visit here in Singapore and that the temple’s renovation was done and would be opening today. As I walked back to my parking space, I saw an Indian man in a bright pink shirt with an invite peeking out through his shirt pocket. I was jealous and upset about being misled. Or so I thought. I decided to accept what appeared to be a blocked experience of the Murugan temple for me and silently in my mind, sent an affirmation of blessing and release to those who had sent the informative e-mail and to those who were holding the temple consecration. Little did I know that the next day held its own balance. A month earlier, during another temple meditation, I had experienced a vision of the dancing form of Lord Siva, in his aspect of Creator. After the meditation was over, I left the lecture early and found a gentleman putting his shoes on outside the temple. I breezily said to him, “Oh you’re leaving early too, are you?” Curious about the necklace I had seen him and many other devotees wearing, I asked about them. He immediately gave me a mini-lecture on the history and meaning of the beads and offered to purchase me one. I was a bit taken aback as I had not experienced this before, but I agreed, although tentatively. Rav also revealed to me he was the Vice President of a Siva temple! I told myself to give thanks to Lord Siva when I got home as I was experiencing a miracle. I had always prayed the “Om Namaha Sivai” mantra, but I had never expected Lord Siva to personally intercede for me. Nonetheless, Rav came back from a pilgrimage to the Palani Temple in Southern India which he told me was a Murugan temple. I actually phoned him and put in a request for a clear crystal necklace, which I had been told was the type of necklace I needed to help me with my writing. Lord Siva answered that request with a new, faceted quartz crystal set of beads, specifically made and sold, at the site of a Murugan Temple in India itself, Rav told me! Rav then phoned me and invited me to the temple he helped to manage, which he later explained, was the temple of the mother of Lord Murugan! I had to laugh because although I am learning about the mantras and slowly, slowly, am coming to understand who’s who in the Hindu panoply of gods, I have been a devotee of the Goddess energy and here she was again. It wasn’t Lord Murugan who was to give me the blessing; it was his Divine Mother, herself! Once again, the Goddess revealed herself to me! I do not know why I feel compelled towards Lord Murugan. He is the God of “Everything” as one temple devotee explained to me when I asked. He carries a vel, an instrument which resembles a trident, and he rides a peacock and is also accompanied by a rooster, who drives away his enemies. Murugan is able to help one judge fairly and well and his aim is to win through litigation and court cases. So despite having been blocked at the temple of Lord Murugan, I found myself at his mother’s temple, Sri Ratha Kaliaman, where my crystal beads were consecrated around the statue of Lord Murugan himself! There at the temple, I was taught to pray to Lord Ganesh, the remover of obstacles, after telling him what I wanted. Then I was offered the fire offering after it was offered to statues of Lord Murugan and his mother. I placed my hands around its flames and brought my hands symbolically around my crown and head, to transmit the purification of fire and spiritual light. Kum-kum (a red holy powder) and vibutthi (holy ash made from cow dung) were then offered to me, as well as holy water, all of which I took in my right hand, applying with my left ring finger to my ajna or third eye.   I had to drink the holy water from my cupped palm. Although flashes of questionable hygiene ran through my mind, I chose to trust and allow. I was also in a state of wonder, since the day before I couldn’t even SEE, much less, ENTER, the actual temple of Lord Murugan, and here I was, standing before his statue and his mother’s altar and statue, claiming a blessing from him transmitted through my crystal necklace! I realized then that my state of neutrality was real and that I wasn’t angry. I had been worried into thinking that others thought less of me, that others judged me as an angry person, but really, I wasn’t. I was confused and ignorant of the doings of the temple and the ritual of consecration, but in the end, found out that although I wanted to experience a blessing from Lord Murugan at the temple consecration, I was actually receiving a LIVE and PERSONAL blessing through my new friend Rav, whom I had been personally guided to by Lord Siva in a vision. And so, I ended up in a state of grace, appreciation and divine gratitude. I was in a state of awe at the doings of universal synchronicity and marveling at the methods I arrived at. It was not to come through Lord Murugan, but through his Mother, through his Divine Mother herself, who was to bring me the blessing. On a last note, Rav told me the reason there were crowds of people at the previous day’s consecration, despite the privileged few who had been invited and allowed in. The crowds were waiting for the blessed water which had been distributed through those in line. He then pulled out a container of the water one of his colleagues had brought him from the temple, and offered me a sip of the holy liquid! Once again, the Goddess revealed herself to me, going through the channels of Lord Siva, her son Murugan and the human channel of her devotee, Rav, my new friend. She gave me the most precious of earthly offerings, the gift of water, a liquid only the goddess knows how to give, a liquid planet earth is made up of, in large percentages, a liquid our human bodies are made up of, which keeps us, I believe, in a youthful state and also keeps fluidity and flexibility in our psyches. I accepted those gifts and understandings humbly and with grace, grateful to have such a unique experience and interaction with the Mother energy and her followers. From art to healing, to bird-raising, go ahead and explore. In the end, you may be comforted by my Northern Indian friend who speaks Malaya-Alaam, who in her words when I asked her if she believed in the god Murugan, said, “No, I’ve heard of him. But I don’t believe in praying to that god or this god. I believe in praying to the Universal God, the God of Light and Consciousness. This is what they teach at my ashram. This is what I know. This is what I believe in.” Another friend of mine who worships at another kind of temple, a Punjabi one , whose God is a name I am unfamiliar with, told me she goes to that specific temple, offering sugar, oil and salt while requesting divine interventions for her health and her problems with her children. She also went to the Novena church, a Catholic church whose attached school she had gone to as a child – so it was with a mixed background she had gone to ask for divine help. Familiarity and the offering of blessings for her body and her family were her measuring rods. Mine were familiarity with Divine Mother and my understanding of what methods she uses to heal the body and the spirit. She is the starting point of God for me, and that gives me a broader vision of what is holy and kind in life. Ultimately, whatever is a grander, broader, more cosmic view of God may simplify your days so that you don’t have to bother with honoring this special hour because it’s this planet’s special province and that planet corresponds with this God, who if you pray to him or her, will grant you boons, protection or rewards. Whatever works for you, works for you. For those of us whose priority is working at a job, because the grand million dollar windfall just won’t come, it just might be easier to go with a sincere heart and mind, and pray each time you are anxious, worried or feeling incomplete, and ask for the God of Light to bring you comfort, joy, ease. here is peace in that. And where there’s peace, there will be harmony. Now that makes me feel better, more hopeful and less inclined to give up! Mary holds and M.A. in counseling.

 Presidents Message

 Reverend Sandy Clark

 

 

 

We have moved our office and have landed in our new location, with lots of boxes.

 

We thought we would share with you what my office looks like as this is being written, and hopefully by our next issue we can show you that all the boxes have been opened, the contents put away, and I have an office free of boxes along with pictures on the wall.

 

 

 

We had some incredible helpers move us last Saturday: I believe they might still be recovering!  Thank you to Corry, Ronnie, Brian, Joe, Zeke and Gregory. It was the hottest day we have had so far this summer and they worked a very long day.

 

Thanks also to those who helped pack boxes before we moved; David, Janet, Sandra, Jan, Steve and of course Felecia and Corky.

 

If you are in the area, please stop in and say hello.  If you are willing we will even let you unpack a box or two.

 

Our new address is:

Divine Patterns

By Dr. Ernest Homes

 

Today I seek the Divine Pattern at the center of my being.

Affirming its reality,

I permit its essence to flow through me.

Claiming it as my very own,

I embrace it.

Believing its peace,

I am calm.

Living in its love,

I am unified with life.

Believing in its power,

I accept its action in my everyday affairs.

And looking at the God in man,

I see in everyone the pattern of His perfection.

All I Need to Be Is ME!

By Minister Maryellen DeVine

A friend recently loaned me the book “Dying to Be Me” by Anita Moorjani. Anita’s story really touched me and confirmed some of the things that I have been feeling are really important. Anita is East Indian and was raised in the Hindu faith. Her family lived in Hong Kong while she was growing up and she attended Catholic schools. As you can imagine, she received quite a lot of differing, and often conflicting, messages and beliefs. Her Indian culture believed that to be a good girl and good wife (to the man the parents want her to marry) is to be submissive and obedient. She had a strong will and that didn’t blend very well with the expectations put on her. She also had the Catholic nuns sharing with her that she could go to hell if she didn’t attend Catholic church. She just didn’t feel she fit in anywhere; she didn’t comply with expectations very well; she spent many years feeling deep down that something must be wrong with her. She’d wonder why she couldn’t just be like everyone else. Why couldn’t she conform to what others wanted her to be and do?

In addition, as an adult, she watched two people very close to her suffer and die from cancer. She was very afraid of getting cancer and also of the treatment for it. She did get cancer and after four years of it, slipped into a coma and her organs started shutting down. She had a near death experience; watching from above everything that was happening. While she was in this state, she experienced amazing oneness and love and understandings. In this state she received a knowing that her beliefs and fears contributed to the manifestation of disease in her body. She realized that our Spirits are pure love and absolutely magnificent. She received the understanding that if she were to decide to go back into her body, but now living from a place of knowing that WHO SHE REALLY IS all she needs to be, that she would be healed. She did come back and to the surprise of the hospital staff, her cancer was gone.

She now shares with people the importance of being your Authentic Self; of not worrying about being the way you think others want you to be. Know that you are meant to be the person you came here to be. That “in this tapestry of life, we’re all connected. Each one of us is a gift to those around us, helping each other be who we are, weaving a perfect picture together.”

I have been feeling that we are being nudged by Spirit to live more authentically. You know, the best thing about each of us is our uniqueness. Wouldn’t it be horrible if everyone was a cookie-cutter version of each other? We all have our own brilliant Light to shine.

What can you do to take steps toward being more of your Authentic Self? You can start with small things. Perhaps you might wear a piece of clothing or accessory that reflects the real you. Perhaps you choose to join an African Dance or Belly Dance class instead of a Pilates class. Explore what those steps might be for you. I bet it will feel so good

As Cyndi Lauper sings, “I see your true colors shining through…And that’s why I love you.” You are indeed too FABULOUS to fit in!
