Will Power is the Ability to be "Willing" Toward God.
Will is the executive faculty of the mind. It is the CEO of your life who can get the job done with God. You have executive power over how God's limitless good is managed and allocated in your life. Join Ray Wiggins this Sunday at 10 a.m. as he shares ways to release this innate power to take you to the top of your life.
"The Twelve Powers" Lesson Series
At the Sunday Service This Spring
The Twelve Powers of Man by Charles Fillmore
When Charles Fillmore studied the life, teachings, death, and Resurrection of Jesus he discovered twelve powers, that when developed, can lead to a life of joy. Fillmore wrote "The Twelve Powers of Man" to explain, metaphysically, these human faculties and the process of regeneration as taught by Jesus the Christ. This is one of Fillmore's most profound books as it challenges the serious metaphysical student as well as those seeking in-depth understanding of mind, body, and spirit.
It will be my pleasure to share these powers with you in a Lesson Series beginning Mid April.
This study is an excellent follow up to my Lessons on UNITY101: BACK TO THE BASICS.
Regular attendance is the best way to benefit from this lesson series. Make plans now to join us every Sunday of this series and bring a friend. This is a wonderful way to introduce them to Unity. -- Rev. Ray
"Spring is Proof that Death Is Not Real"
Words of Wisdom from Spiritual Leader Rev. Ray Wiggins
Spring, 2012
What What a wonderful feeling! Spring is here!
Life is restored. That which appeared to be dead
springs back to life. Flowers bloom, animal babies are born, birds migrate. Life is full of activity and vitality!
Spring for each of us is a time of renewal. Spring cleaning.
New goals, dreams, plans for vacations, more outdoor activity, gardening, walking, biking.
Spring has inspired more poems, and songs than perhaps any other Season and it inspires us to come alive!
Peter Bolland, San Diego based author, lecturer, wrote in Unity Magazine an article, THE WISDOM OF SPRING. If you don't subscribe I invite you to do so. It's full of very nice articles from a Unity perspective. Let me share just a little summary of what Peter wrote.
Peter says that Spring's wisdom can remind us to GROW. I have been tempted to be satisfied with my experience of life and to let parts of me lie dormant. Spring's wisdom says, "COME ALIVE", "LIVE FULLY"!
Spring also inspires us to be BOLD. Nature just shouts with it's colors doesn't it! LOOK AT ME! I'M ALIVE! the plants boldly proclaim!. Spring inspires me to ask myself, "What would I do, if I were brave?"
And, there is a playfulness about Spring. Birds, rabbits, little baby ducks all jumping and enjoying themselves. Spring invites me to PLAY! You know, in my work it is a temptation to take life too seriously. Let us PRAY together in Unity of Carlsbad, but let us also PLAY!.
Peter adds that Spring's wisdom teaches us also to CELEBRATE, TO BE BEAUTIFUL, TO SHINE RIGHT WHERE WE ARE PLANTED. and finally to SAY "YES" TO LOVE.
The saying, "Love spring eternal, in Spring" is true! It's a time of romance and weddings, commitments and expressions of affection. Love is our true identity. Love is who we are. A Course in Miracles teaches that any time we choose love over fear, a miracle has occurred!.
So, beloved, let us SPRING into this Season with renewed energy and passion for life. Spring is proof death is not real. We are alive, vitally so ! We join with this saying by Charles Fillmore (written at age 94)
"I fairly sizzle with enthusiasm and I go forth into this day to do that which is mine to do. "
