Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “Spiritual Prosperity – the Many Facets of Abundance and Wealth”. Prosperity. Abundance. Wealth. Those are words and concepts that usually catch our attention. For many, money issues -- trying to pays the bills, having enough to give our kids the best, or resources to pursue our dreams -- is a consistent thread of stress throughout our lives. We live in a culture where money is all-important and nearly constantly on our radar screens. One of the breakthrough insights of New Thought is that we can learn to take control of our thinking and consciousness in a way that opens the doors to greater flows of abundance into our lives. A significant piece of this is broadening our concept of prosperity. I personally lived most of my earlier life in settings of poverty, and in a programmed consciousness of scarcity and stress about financial issues. Over the past several years I've experienced tremendous breakthrough and release of those patterns and I look forward to sharing that story and some of the tools that have helped me reach a much more peaceful and graceful relationship with money and abundance. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “Dancing With Dual Realities – Playing With Paradox”. This talk will address the wildly dueling realities we are dealing with in the U.S. political situation and culture. And then, will take that lens out to explore the many spiritual traditions that hold concepts that the world we see with our senses are “illusions.” There is a difference between illusion and unreal. I have found that being able to dance with the paradox of the real world and illusion is liberating and makes life a lot more fun. We'll explore these deep and life-changing concepts this Sunday. Hope to see you there. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “A Nun And A Jazz Singer Walk Into A Bar — The Appeal Of Zeal”. This week Cylvia is going to talk about the spiritual power of Zeal, or enthusiasm. Zeal is one of Unity's 12 Spiritual Powers, which also includes the powers of Love, Faith, Wisdom, etc.. Zeal can sometimes be viewed as an “add-on” but for those who may be dealing with depression zeal/enthusiasm can be a survival skill. For those who aren't, zeal is a thrival tool. In this talk Cylvia will share about Zeal as a spiritual power and, in keeping with our series of the 12 Powers and the Movies, she'll pull on the movie, Sister Act. What happens when a nun and a jazz singer go into a bar …. Show up Sunday to find out! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes & former Governor John Kitzhaber share, “Understanding the Games of Golf, Politics, and Life”. The spiritual power of Understanding is about much more than just gathering facts and gaining knowledge; it's about knowing how to tie facts together, open up to the Field of Possibilities and make sense of events and life. This Sunday Rev. Cylvia Hayes will be joined by her life partner, former Governor John Kitzhaber, to continue our Reel to Real series on the 12 Spiritual Powers and movies. They'll give a talk titled, Understanding and the Games of Golf, Politics, and Life which will pull in the spiritual power of Understanding and the movie, The Legend of Bagger Vance. As part of this, at risk of “stepping in it”, John and Cylvia will also share some insights about how to stay spiritually poised in the currently challenging political climate in our country. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “Faith, Fear, Fathers, and Indiana Jones!”. Happy Father's Day! This Sunday, Rev. Cylvia will deliver a talk about Faith as one of the 12 Spiritual Powers. As part of our “Reel to Real” series this talk will draw on inspiration from the film (Reel) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Faith is both a noun and a verb and isn't about blind belief in some “out there” God, but rather, is a state of being, of consciousness. It is about choosing to be open to the field of possibility even as we are being wise in our everyday affairs. Faith is a powerful muscle we can develop to lead more empowered, creative lives. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

In this enlightening episode of Soundscapes and Mindful Meditations, I'm Amandine, and I'm thrilled to welcome the extraordinary Cylvia Hayes. Many of you may know Cylvia as the former First Lady of Oregon, but today, she joins us as a Minister at Unity Church, sharing her profound spiritual journey and insights.

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “Your Resurrection is up to you, no matter the past — Rise and Rise Again!”. Happy Easter! How perfect that the Easter observance takes place right after Spring equinox. This is a season about releasing the past and opening up to new growth. The conventional Christian Easter story is about Jesus coming back to life after being crucified. That is not how Easter resonates with me. Instead, I think this spring-time observance is a great time to reflect on the ways in which we crucify ourselves and how we can stop doing so. More importantly, we are actually in charge of our own resurrection, no matter the challenges that have taken us down – loss, addiction, abuse, past mistakes we may regret – none of those things define us and we each have the power to recreate our lives and our SELVES. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “A Positive Path for Spiritual Living -- What Unity and New Thought is and isn't”. This week Rev. Cylvia will share an overview of the core teachings/concepts and beliefs of Unity and the broader New Thought Movement. Unity is a positive path for spiritual living and some of its tenets include: • Spiritual rather than religious. • We are born fine the first time and there is no such thing as “original sin”. • Jesus was not a one and only begotten, unequaled exception, but rather an exceptional example of the level of spiritual awakening and empowerment that we all can attain. • Our thinking and mind action directly influences what we experience/manifest in our lives.   Interestingly the New Thought movement sprang up in America in the late 1800s individually in different regions across the country. A number of free-thinking, spiritual innovators brought about this revolution in spiritual understanding. Cylvia will share some of the key founders and their breakthrough insights. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “Imagineering Your Best Life and World”. Imagination is a wondrous and innate human ability that allows us to first envision new possibilities for life, and then to clothe these visions with emotion, energy, and purpose to express them. Spiritualized Imagination is not just about slipping off into fantasy or shirking responsibility but rather, gaining agency over our thoughts, and directing our energies toward the kinds of lives, relationships, careers, and world that we want. This precious and precarious time we are living in is calling us to be creative, imaginative evolutionaries in consciousness, feeling deeply our reciprocal relationship with our Mother Earth, open to change, and excited by possibilities. Cylvia will not only share some insights into Imagination as a spiritual power, but will also provide some practical tips and tools for developing our imagination muscles. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “The Metaphysics of Star Wars - Part 2: What is Evil, the “Dark Side” and what wise Yoda didn't know.” In Metaphysics of Star Wars part 1 Cylvia talked about the Force as another concept for God/Source/Creator and how we can learn to harness the Force (Align with God/Source/Creator) with greater skill. In part 2 of this series Cylvia will discuss the light side and the dark side of the Force and the light and dark that resides within each of us. We'll explore some key truths such as the liberation of realizing we are more than the bodies we wear, our only saviors our ourselves, and dogma is always limiting, even when it's Jedi dogma. May the Force be with you and may you be with us this Sunday! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “The Metaphysics of Star Wars: Part 1”. We can hear the voice of Spirit and become aware of spiritual truths through many avenues – spiritual scriptures and sacred texts, nature, and even mythic fictional stories. Star Wars has become a classic mythical set of stories. In this talk, Rev. Hayes will explore some of the spiritual and metaphysical wisdom we can glean from this beloved set of stories. How does “The Force” relate to God/Source/Creator? How can we view these archetypical characters in ways that empower our own lives? How do we balance our own inner light and inner darkness? You might not be Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia but you too have access to more power than you can possibly imagine.

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “Divine Will, Free Will – Is God or Karma a Tyrant?”. Virtually every major religion advises us to follow God's will, or to seek a higher will. But what does that mean exactly? How do we know what God's will is? Do we need to sacrifice to follow God's will? Is it God's will that there be violence and suffering in our world? Is it God's will when a loved one passes? How does all of this jive with the notion that we also have free will? How do we attract it and what does it do for us? In this empowering talk Cylvia discusses the difference between willfulness and willingness and explores being willing as an action rather than a passive acceptance. She'll also share how we can harness the power of will to find deeper purpose in our lives and bring healing to our world. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “World with a View: How mindsets rule our lives and world”. Each of us moves through life viewing the world around us in a particular way based on a set of beliefs we've developed and assumptions we've accepted. In addition to our individual worldview we are immersed in a collective or societal worldview. This programming becomes an overlay on everything we experience which, of course, means it has tremendous power over our quality of life, our level of peace, happiness, etc. The more aware we become of our mostly unconscious beliefs and ways of viewing the world the more agency we have over personal experiences and our ability to shape society. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “Sikhs and Druids and Christians Oh My! A Call to Unity and Conscience”. Several of us recently attended the 2023 Parliament of World Religions. This incredibly diverse and colorful assembly demonstrated a multi-faith commitment to raising consciousness, spreading peace, and developing a worldview of healing and unity. Cylvia will share some stories form the event and how we all might harness these wild times to elevate conscience and consciousness in our lives and our world. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Rev. Cylvia Hayes shares, “Divine Order is an Ever-Ready Supply”. When facing challenging circumstances or witnessing the challenges loved ones may be facing, holding intentional space for the possibility of Divine Order makes room for miracles to flow. Divine Order is the intelligence of the Universe expressing through each of us. All species have a built-in intelligence that enables them to adjust their environment, complete a cycle of growth, and fulfill their roles in the great web of life. These human lives can be messy and complicated but even in the midst of the mess Divine Order is available. We can free ourselves from stress and worry as we gain skill letting go and letting God and allowing the grace of Divine Order to flow to and through us. Sometimes when things look like they're falling apart they're actually falling into place. In this talk we'll explore the power of Divine Order and some spiritual hacks for manifesting more of it in our lives and our world. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: http://bit.ly/prayerclaim Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/ Donate via Paypal: http://bit.ly/donateunitybend More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Cylvia Hayesl shares, “What's Love Got to Do With It?”. Love is a word and concept that gets thrown around a lot – I love sleep, I love chocolate, I love dogs. It's also the term we use to express deep feelings to our loved ones and those types of feelings are indeed some of the greatest gifts of these human lives. However, the power of love as a universal, spiritual principle goes far beyond individual relationships and personal feelings of affection. Love as spiritual power is a unifying, harmonizing force that can deliver miracles and heal our world. The spiritual power of love can end wars and repair the seemingly irreparable. As we develop the power of love within ourselves, our sense of Oneness expands. Heck, you may even come to find that you are a biophiliac, but you'll have to attend Sunday's talk to find out. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: [http://bit.ly/prayerclaim](http://bit.ly/prayerclaim) Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: [https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/](https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/) Donate via Paypal: [http://bit.ly/donateunitybend](http://bit.ly/donateunitybend) More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

Unity is a non-denominational Spiritual Community in Central Oregon. Join us each week for some great music, a little bit of silliness, and a lot of inspirational soul food. All are welcome! This week: Cylvia Hayes shares, “Taming Our Inner Attack Artist”. We live in a culture that pounds us with messages of not being good enough or successful enough. We get programmed to view ourselves as not enough, not having enough, not doing enough. We forget who we really are, forget that we are powerful spiritual beings with agency and ability to co-create our own lives and experiences. A Course in Miracles teaches that viewing ourselves through a lens of littleness is a form of self-attack. It takes intentional focus to deprogram ourselves from these messages but it can be done and it is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves and our world. Join us this Sunday to hear about some ways to drop those attack thoughts, release littleness and embrace your full magnificence. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Submit your prayer claims online!: [http://bit.ly/prayerclaim](http://bit.ly/prayerclaim) Please TXT donations to: (833) 455-1960 or Donate on our website: [https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/](https://unitycentraloregon.org/donate/) Donate via Paypal: [http://bit.ly/donateunitybend](http://bit.ly/donateunitybend) More goodness on our website: [www.UnityCentralOregon.org](http://www.unitycentraloregon.org/)

What is this grand mystery we call Life? What is its purpose? Why are we here? Life is precious and miraculous. It is invisible and yet omnipresent, a creative force that courses through each of us and all of nature. Life as a spiritual principle and power goes far beyond physical bodies, certainly far beyond a human body. Unlike a body, the true faculty of life has no finite existence. Charles Filmore wrote, “The first step in the realization of life is always to know that God is life, abundant, omnipresent, eternal, and the second step is to make positive connection with God life by declaring oneness with it.”  That begs the question, what is God? Hmmm, let's explore God and Life this Sunday.

Gaining spiritual knowledge is a worthy pursuit and usually feels great. However, transformation, of our lives and our world, requires more than study; it requires action. It takes spiritual action in both our inner and outer worlds. What does it look like? What doesn't it look like? Join us this Sunday as we consider the sacred practice of spiritual action.

This episode contains an devotional that really speaks to what I am personally going through right now! I hope

It's been said that culturally we are struggling right now because we're in between stories. The old story of separation and dominion over the Earth isn't working anymore and we haven't yet landed on the new story (though lots and lots of us are actively working on that). Each spring, Unity Community of Central Oregon spends a couple months exploring our place in the world as spiritual beings having a human experience on this planet called Earth. This Sunday, I'll share Unity's unique approach to the creation story and we'll celebrate the magnificence of this glorious place we get to call home. Our stories matter. The stories we tell ourselves, and the stories we tell about ourselves create our experience of life. Collectively, we need a new, better, and better-feeling story. Who better to create it than people practicing Unity principles and New Thought thinking? I hope you'll join me as we discuss the power of story.

Our current economic model, built on the economics of slavery, materialism, and limitless growth, is wreaking havoc on nature and keeping millions trapped in poverty. The New Economy Movement is gaining momentum as more and more people, entrepreneurs, and businesses say enough is enough and get busy creating healthier ways of doing business—all of which is part of creating an anti-racist culture. In this episode our guest, Cylvia Hayes—teacher, speaker, author, and strategist in economic evolution—will explore some of the current norms in our economic system that need a changeup, and we'll learn about some exciting alternatives.

This is the full celebration service – with music, prayer, meditation, celebrations, and announcements. Also available as the talk only. The Christmas story holds a powerful place in Western culture. From a metaphysical perspective it is profound exploration of how faith and a “virginal mindset” can transcend every problem and give birth to opportunities, creations, new ways of being, and a whole new world that seem utterly impossible in human-only thinking. In this talk we'll consider the examples of Mary the mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, one of the most maligned (and my personal favorite) characters in the Bible to see how a “virginal mindset” can create good in our lives and in the world. This will not be your usual Mary and Jesus and virgin birth take on the story!

I have studied, explored, and practiced many pathways from Wiccan to Buddhism to Yoruba, to A Course in Miracles, and of course, Unity. What has always fascinated me the most hasn't been the differences but rather the similarities, the fundamental Truths that thread through so many of the numerous spiritual paths. Those concepts and ways of thinking that help us understand who and what we are, what “God” is, what's right and wrong, etc. This coming Sunday I am going to stretch a bit and talk about some of the major concepts that I find useful from some indigenous, shamanistic spiritual pathways.

Those concepts and ways of thinking that help us understand who and what we are, what “God” is, what's right and wrong, etc. This coming Sunday I am going to stretch a bit and talk about some of the major concepts that I find useful from some indigenous, shamanistic spiritual pathways.

I was feeling the weight of all the hard edges at play in our world right now, combined with the frustration of dealing with a loved one who needs a lot of help but often resists and battles the help I try to give. I went out to Mamma Earth for a bit of a retreat and self-care, and got some guidance I hadn't been expecting about just what “Coming Home” means. I hope sharing this story and the insights and ideas that poked through will be useful in helping us all to navigate this wild ride that is our human part of the journey and some of the trickier “classrooms” life presents so that we can “go home” to truth more often and easily.

Unity Community of Central Oregon | Sunday's Celebration Service on November 29th, 2020 with Cylvia Hayes. Virtually every major religion advises us to follow God’s will, or to seek a higher will. But what does that mean exactly? How do we know what God’s will is? What do we need to sacrifice to follow God’s will? Is it God’s will that there be violence and suffering in our world? Is it God’s will when a loved one passes? How does all of this jive with the notion that we also have free will? And what exactly is grace? How do we attract it and what does it do for us? ********************************************************

The old statement, “We are living in interesting times” has perhaps never felt truer – there is a LOT going on in our world and a lot of uncertainty. It can be tempting just to close it all out, dial up Netflix and binge baby, binge! But each of us are way too important to give in, at least for long, to such temptation. We are indeed living in wild, shaking, quaking times. And each one of us, is living in exactly these times for a reason. Through thought, vision and action, each of us can shape the arc of history, so that this time of upheaval gives birth to the transformation of our world. The critical question for each one of us right now is, “What is mine to do in this wild and unsettling time?” This Sunday, Cylvia Hayes and Lawrence Schechter will share a conversation about how each of us is prompted to become agents of transition to a future we can indeed imagine and imagineer. ********************************************************

Good afternoon!Photo by Priscilla Du Preez on UnsplashEleventh episode of Conversations from the Underbelly Project podcast. Resilience. For today’s episode, I spoke with Empowerment Coach, International Speaker, Author, Spiritual Teacher and New Economy leader— Cylvia Hayes. Her book, When Life Blows Up: A Guide to Peace, Power and Reinvention is a deep look at how you can transform your life from surviving to thriving. Our conversation went from taking the opportunity to proactively reinvent the economy to the highly personal story of how Cylvia took the opportunity given to her to begin to thrive. We talk about present moment awareness, the opportunity in uncertainty, willingness versus willfulness, and moreWhat we talked about:First, The economy is a man-made set of rules we choose to live by. Let’s choose wisely.Second, Cylvia’s story is ultimately inspirational. Third, Meditation is wonderful, but without present moment awareness it can turn into just one more thing do each day — with present moment awareness, things can get super meaningful and even mystical.Fourth, Uncertainity is uncomfortable but it’s also where the good stuff starts. Fifth, Willingness is active.What a gift to be able to participate in this conversation with Cylvia. I’m marveling at the chance to go from economics to soul-omics in one short conversation. And somehow it was all related.

Unity Community of Central Oregon | Sunday's Celebration Service on October 14, 2018 with Rev. Jane & Cylvia Hayes speaking about Paradoxes and Perspectives, as part of our Season of Fullness. Rev. Jane and Cylvia Hayes team up to explore the paradox of the divine as an infinite field and the personal aspect embodied in Jesus. How do we sort through the outdated ideas and the beautiful truths from our religious upbringings and align them with our present consciousness? Unity begins our first season at our new home with the Season of Fullness. What does it mean to live fully in this world? It means living from our Higher Selves. It involves radiating the energies of love and abundance, creative play and joy, deep wisdom, and peace. We experience a sense of fullness because we are being who we already are rather than coming from the ego experience of not being, doing or having enough. As we experience our spiritual lives embedded in humanity, we so easily forget who we are. This is our season to heal our bodies and our minds, to remember collectively who we really are, to step into our purpose to awaken our spiritual consciousness. As we do this, it becomes contagious. Let’s wake up our world! Let’s claim the fullness of our Highest Selves!
