The world’s current paradigm for intimate relationships is severely broken. The divorce rate in America is quickly moving past 50%, and still many more people stay in relationships silently suffering in regret, guilt, and obligation. It doesn’t have to be this way!

One of the primary, healing ideas in A Course in Miracles focuses on how to move from “special relationships”, which are based in fear, control, and the ego’s game of seeking but never finding love to “Holy Relationships”, which are anchored in forgiveness, generosity, care, and spiritual connection.

You can have deeply fulfilling, God-inspired relationships. You really can. Rev Mark is excited to show you how.

Are you in your right mind? What does this mean? This is not a question as to whether you are right or wrong, good or bad. This is a question of self inquiry, where are your thoughts, beliefs, judgments, opinions and considerations coming from? Is your mind moving from the spiritual source of you which is love or is it coming from someone or something else? Most of the time we are NOT in our right mind, that is the mind of love, spirit and wholeness.

Spring is here with all the rebirth that it brings to the world. This time of year gives us the opportunity to reflect on what needs to be rebirthed in our own lives. It’s easy to blame others for our problems and project our issues onto them, but true growth comes from taking responsibility for ourselves and our experiences. Join us this Sunday in exploring this shift in awareness that leads to renewal and transformation.

In-Spirit Living should be our ultimate goal for it reflects our connection to our Source and that we are proceeding on our path of purpose. With In-Spirit Living we become an inspiration to ourselves and others. Yet, we have an ego that can cause us to have serious blockage. Join us on Sunday as we discuss the impact caused by our creation, the ego, and the “how” of In-Spirit Living.

Guilt and shame stem from the belief in separation which generates negative thoughts and behaviors that further perpetuate that sense of separation. By forgiving ourselves and others for perceived wrongdoings, we release the cycle of guilt and shame and open ourselves up to a state of innocence and love. Explore the return to innocence.

Most of the time we all experience love as an outcome, as the result of something happening or not happening. This is a love at the understanding of our human selves, however, there is a love of our spiritual selves that the human understanding yearns for. This is the unconditional, forgiving, kind, accepting, patient love that we read about in stories, movies or other peoples experiences, BUT it is here and now in your very life, it only needs your willing attention to look for it, to practice this love. The challenge is most of the world is mad! Instead of loving love, we have a love of fear and a fear of love. Let’s explore loving love.

Judgment can create a belief in separation of oneness with the Divine, and allow us to see flaws in ourselves and others. This belief can create experiences that require forgiveness. Be prepared to make a shift in judgment so the process of true forgiveness can take place.

Most human love is conditional. Yes there are moments we experience a freedom in love, however, if we are really honest with ourselves we can recognize that the love we were taught and most of the love we have given or received was conditional. Conditional love requires a victim to be saved or rescued, releasing this empty power can truly transform any moment to experience real love in any area of our lives.

There is no substitute for “Real Love” yet many of us continue to struggle through relationships with “Imitation Love”. Baer says, “We can’t give what we don’t have,” and our inability to offer love stems from never having truly experienced unconditional (Real) love. Watch to explore taking the leap of faith necessary to experience unconditional love and fulfilling relationships.
