States of Being and Stages of Being

States of Being and Stages of Being

Author: Centre for Spiritual Living, Edmonton September 23, 2018 Duration: 45:55
This week, Dr. Patrick previews the upcoming weekend Genogram activity with Dr. Gary Simmons that will happen at the Centre. The Centre and its ministry has a history and thus a pain body. The purpose is to identify the unconscious patterns that drive or run our ministry when we are not conscious, as well as those patterns and the unintended consequences of the current way we do ministry in the minister-centric practice. We then seek to answer: Who did we come here to be? Why does the Centre exist? There are states of being and stages of being. A feeling of oneness is a state, and how we view it will be coloured by our stage of development. Limitation and poverty are not things but are the result of restricted ways of thinking. We are surrounded by a Subjective Intelligence which receives the impress of our thought and acts upon it. This natural Law in the Mental World is neither good nor bad. It can only be said of It that IT IS, and that we may consciously use It. The Law is a law of reflection; for Life is a mirror, reflecting to us as conditions the images of our thinking. Whatever one thinks tends to take form and become a part of his experience. The Medium of all thought is the Universal Mind, acting as Law. Law is always impersonal, neutral, receptive and reactive. Look into the mirror with love.

Hosted by the Centre for Spiritual Living, Edmonton, the Spiritual Living Podcast Archive offers a quiet space for reflection within a busy world. This collection stems from a community that deeply honors diverse paths to the sacred, finding unity in the shared human yearning for connection. You’ll hear explorations that bless all teachings and teachers, recognizing that whether one lights a candle, faces the east, burns incense, repeats a mantra, lights a menorah, or offers a prayer, there is no wrong way to worship. Each conversation or talk in this podcast respects the multitude of ways to draw closer to Spirit, gently examining how seemingly different paths often lead to the same destination of peace and understanding. It’s an auditory expression of a philosophy that sees the divine in every tradition, inviting you to consider your own spiritual journey through a lens of inclusive wisdom. Tune in to find thoughtful perspectives that feel more like a meaningful dialogue than a lecture, all curated from a place of genuine respect and curiosity.
