CSL-White Rock Sunday's Message

Tamara Rossander, RScP Spiritual Director for CSL White Rock, will explore the topic: "We are Star Stuff" with musical guest Linda Kidder. When we are in harmony with, and in a respectful relationship with all of nature, we find a level of sacredness and beauty that we were previously oblivious to. Nature, and the universe itself, is the physical expression of the body of God; why would we ever de...

Tamara Rossander, RScP Spiritual Director for CSL White Rock, will explore the topic of We and Me Create Society with musical guest Linda Kidder. Our relationships with the broader gathering of people have created and continue to develop societies. The agreements we make consciously and those we agree to by default are what affect and govern how we interact.

So much of life is about trusting what is before us and trusting that Life is going to bring to us exactly what we need when we need it. But oftentimes, life throws us curve balls, opportunities for growth that we did not expect. Join us this Sunday as Rev. Savanna explores with us more deeply the process of becoming and learning to trust ourselves and that inner knowing within us.

This week we are exploring how our bodies are truly living communication devices with a line directly to Source. When we learn to listen to what our bodies are telling us, we move into flow with the One, and can experience a full, gentle, authentic life.

Our bodies, being intricately connected and responsive to our minds, remember even the stories our minds have pushed aside. This week, we will explore the mind/body connection, how trauma or pain is translated from the mind to the body, and methods for understanding and releasing these burdens.

Our bodies are perfectly and wonderfully made! By learning to love our bodies exactly as they are, instead of demanding that they become something they aren’t, we are open to the experience of the here and now and can move into reverence and awe of this absolutely divine creation.

Sometimes there is value in doing the things that no one else wants to do. It keeps us humble. And yet the choice is ours to do everything we do from a place of gratitude and joy. It means we might have to look at the "trash" in our lives. Who's going to be the one to take out the trash?

How do we move through life's constant ebb and flow, ride the waves, and stay afloat? Let's explore together the primary emotion of sadness. The blues music genre was created from the sense of sorrow in the lived experience. Sadness can cause us to feel blue, want to be alone, and find comfort in our "pity party." Sometimes it is easier to stay in this state of melancholy and use it as an underton...

Sure, we can all get angry at times. However, because anger is such a negative emotion, wouldn't it be wonderful to know how to diffuse a volatile situation for a peaceful outcome? Focusing on the "eye" of the storm, where there is peace and calm, we can find our way to calm the turbulence in a metaphorical anger storm. Consciously cooling things down in a heated situation is possible, allowing th...

Happiness stems from a state of mind and an attitude. We can choose to shift our attitude by focusing on something that brings us joy, whether from a memory or doing something that is pleasing. Let’s sing, dance, hum, laugh, smile, and shout from a happy place because we’re alive!  No matter what’s going on, let’s celebrate life and the joy of living.  We have the chance to start anew an...

Freedom without Fear No Matter What! Spirit has the answer to every human fear and challenge, yet our problems never exist in Spirit. You have a divine right to life without fear, poverty, disease and challenge. Do you ever find yourself not knowing how to get answers and find solutions? Let's talk about accessing Divine Mind to empower greater freedom and solve those situations-no matter what has...

There are so many types of emotions with varying levels and degrees of intensity. Our emotions are like a spice rack that we can spin to find the one that is the focus of the moment. All emotions are beneficial and have lessons to offer. As we strive for balance in our emotional spectrum, we achieve balance in our life. Rev Karin Wilson has been in ministry since 2008 and she’s guided spiritual se...

It’s time to get out of our comfort zone and bring our creative selves and whatever it is we are wanting to do, to the world. As stated in the monthly theme summary, when we dare to present our talents, gifts, and passions, we are both vulnerable and victorious. Here’s the issue: if we want to be victorious, we must be vulnerable. We must open our hearts, let down our ego defenses, and dare to liv...

Welcome to “Holy Week” in the Christian tradition, in which we celebrate the One Infinite Creative Presence and Power which informs and guides all spiritual paths. Ramadan began last week, and in addition to today’s honouring of Palm Sunday, we look forward to Good Friday, Passover, and Easter Sunday. The Creator Itself shines through all spiritual paths in unique ways. We can resist our journey,...

We are God’s “chips off the old block” (per Rocco Errico). Today we move beyond doubts and fears about our abilities, talent, or imagination. Choosing to know ourselves as worthy of and fully connected to the Infinite Creator, we anchor in knowing that we are limitlessly sourced by a Limitless Source--and that includes our creativity! What is true about God is absolutely true about us, so we are s...

All month, we’ve been talking about how important a life of play and rest is for our healthiness, both inside and out. There’s another dimension, though – play helps us to build relationships filled with Joy and meaning. What if our whole community embraced the idea of playing together as a key component of healthy living? This week, we’ll explore opening up to shared playfulness, including loosen...

Sometimes the brave path isn't always the easy path. It's standing in the fire of life and continuing on. People say that bravery is feeling the fear and doing it anyway. I think it is that but it is also a courageous and quiet path sometimes. Glennon Doyle, in her book "Untamed," says, “Bravery means living from the inside out. Brave means, in every uncertain moment, turning inward, feeling for t...

Have you ever thought, what happens after New Thought? Perhaps it is No Thought. When we entered into present moment awareness, without attachment to outcome, we open, lose our mind to imagination and lighten up. This state of being, disengages us from our patterns of belief, becoming our access point into the spiritual realm of Creative Intelligence. As we lighten our thought load, we light up ou...

This week we are contemplating the power of play in all aspects of our lives. Connecting deeply with the Divine, especially when life is challenging, can feel like serious work. What if we allow ourselves to have more fun with universal spiritual laws? What if we infuse our spiritual practices with creativity and play? Rev. Champion will guide us as we experiment in the Science of Mind laboratory...

What does it mean to belong to a Spiritual Community to you? Join Tamara Rossander, RScP, Spiritual Director as we explore together what we are looking for as a gift when we join a Spiritual Community. How can we participate in our community to work together to manage fear and strengthen our Faith? Let us contribute to making our world better, knowing that as we change, our world will change. If w...

The human being is in a process of transformation and undergoes experiences that help him/her to evolve. The people who are part of our life play a role in that life. They help us to become aware of our weaknesses. Others do nothing more than point out our wounds, it is not others who make us suffer, The real cause is within oneself. Join Rev. Karin Wilson as she explores forgiveness as the path t...

It is essential to observe oneself in order to desist from experiencing compulsive emotional behaviors. This is achieved by replacing automatic thoughts with reasoned thoughts. We are dressed in a body and we have a personality, but we are much more than that; we are divine beings who have come to work on our consciousness, to remember who we truly are, to remember our essential being. For this we...

Rev. Savanna Noelle said: "One of the greatest things that we're called to see and to know what our present circumstances might be. This is basic, the foundation of The Science of Mind teaching." Check out Rev. Savanna Noelle's talk last Sunday.
