Sunday's Message from Unity of Tucson

“In the beginning was the word…” What is your Word? The Word is the energetic agency by which the God/Source reveals itself in terms of creation… and you are that revelation! Enjoy the experience of the white stone ceremony and let your Word be your new name for 2023.

We are spiritual beings having a spiritual experience. If this experience is rooted in joy then this is what you can expect from life. We get to decide how we describe it. Don’t give your power away. You get to decide what to hold onto, and what to let go of.

Where do you set the limit on what you are willing to do to bring people together in love? Love is both a feeling and an intention. Don’t seek to derive love from out there. Discomfort is self-imposed limitation. Unconditional love is not always comfortable. Strive to acknowledge and connect to others.

You are in charge of everything in your life. You have the responsibility. What are you living in expectation of? We all have ignorance to contend with. We are immersed in the collective consciousness, but not subject to it if we remain conscious of it. Our unconscious beliefs must meet our conscious thoughts for experience to manifest as desired. What is your contribution to the collective good?...

The Law will always meet us where we are. We can work with the law or counter to it. There is really only one law, the law of creation. We cannot stop creating. The question is: what are we creating? The purpose of a spiritual path is to guide us to a deeper understanding. Focusing on that which is within unburdens that which is without. We cannot stop the unfoldment but we can obey its energy. Ch...

We are in a place of choice in each moment. Forgiveness clears the consciousness of anything that blocks our good. We have great power but if we don’t know it we may misuse it. Forgiveness is about discovery, use, and change. Accept and acknowledge the truth of your being. Forgiveness is an inside job. All else is performance, and misses the shift of consciousness that happens within. What is it i...

What do you contemplate yourself being? Your contemplation, thoughts, and beliefs are your spiritual investment. You are deserving of magnificent abundance, but do you believe it? Our life experience is limited only to the mental equivalent in our minds. Your contemplation informs how you see the world. There is no need to compete for your good. Let gratitude be at the core of all experience. Keep...

A typical person has 70,000 thoughts per day. 90 percent of our thinking is unconscious but 100 percent creates our reality. The work is to become aware. Change your thinking, change your life. There is magnificence at the core of life, but are we willing to receive it? We must give to get. You get what you are equal to, not what you think or what you want. Life changes with a shift in belief. Cro...

When you pray, pray already believing. If we want to know what we truly believe, look in the land of our results. We can have everything that we are in harmony with. Our power to think is inexhaustible, yet we hardly know how powerful we are. Start with the ask. It is useless to have a desire unless you expect it to be fulfilled. The universe wants us to ask. Are we giving ourselves permission?

People do everything but pray. Prayer activates our consciousness to create. You can go no further than your own doubt. Our work is to expand our conceptions. All perceived failures in life are due to taking sides with the finite. If you want more live, peace, joy, then be more those things.

Zeal is a form of enthusiasm. To sizzle or fizzle, that’s the question. We all get to choose. But sometimes our thoughts—the six inches between our ears—get in the way. Can you tap into your “zealing”, the feeling of enthusiasm you have for life? It can be as simple as asking “what am I grateful for?” Be too grateful, to be hateful, too blessed, to be stressed. What we appreciate, appreciates.

The content of our life is the curriculum of our evolution. There’s a different way of living, being, relating. Walk out of the “basement” of yourself into a technicolor world. God’s not done with any of us. When we really get who we are we are charged with the next evolutionary challenge. Think of the impossible. That is where you’ve gotta reach for God. We’re tapping into deep soul desire. We ar...

Love is an action. Community is a sacred container. The “I” becomes the “we”. We are all collectively one. Christ is radical inclusive unconditional love. In this society, we are straight until proven otherwise. When we exclude anyone, including ourselves, we are missing the mark of love. We try “fitting in” rather than “belonging”. Belonging is being seen, safe, and celebrated. Coming out is “ris...

Are you looking for short cuts to enlightenment? Where are you right now? To awaken the world we must first be awake. Awakening is the art of living. Being a maker begins with being awake. So, slow down, become awake, and remember who you are.

Order will be established in your life when you proceed from a place of love. In every interaction we need to treat each other with dignity and respect. By doing this, we disarm the enemy. We realize that we are all evolving in consciousness, and that people at lower levels of consciousness believe they are doing the right thing, when to us they appear not to be. We all get to continue the work of...

What if you could never make a wrong decision? Stop looking outside yourself for proof of your value. Start living as the example of your value. Be where you are, in your heart. Clear out the passive chaos, the accumulation in your mind, the status quo of your experience. You are always at choice. You can always make a new decision. So, LYOTH. It’s time to Let Yourself Off The Hook.

How are you using love? In constructive or destructive ways? Love and Law work in tandem. Love points the way; the Law makes the way possible. What appears to be chaos has order at its center. If you lead with love, the universe will create loving order. Order can be unexpected, it can manifest in unpredictable ways. You cannot get the “yes” unless you ask.

To what degree do you believe you are separate from God? This is where disharmony comes from. In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty. By practicing detachment we let go of the things that keep us separated from source. If there is a desire in you, it can be fulfilled by tapping into our Infinite Source Provider (ISP) which is always working on our behalf. But like an internet search engine,...

We’re not praying TO anything. The power to change your life is in here, not out there. A lot of people contemplate themselves into “less than”. Better to put energy into what you wish to become. Don’t get caught up in the relative. Instead, contemplate yourself in the absolute. There are miracles when you believe. Your word is the most powerful force in your life. Your word is your agency, your p...

Who would you be if you didn’t have anyone else to compare yourself to? Sameness is always rooted in comparison. The mind thrives on patterns, including foolish ones. What isn’t working in your life? Are you willing to accept the positive? We create our experience and we can re-create it. We are in the driver’s seat. Who you are destined to be is rooted in the choices you make every moment. Can yo...

Willpower, or willingness. What is your approach to spiritual practice? Adopt love and joy as your central focus. The feeling is the thing. Creation through coercion never lasts. Cooperate with the center of your being. Be in the flow. You get what you are equal to in mind and in heart. What will it take for you to say “yes” to life? What will you cooperate into being today?

Sometimes we forget the “jolly”. How do we find it again? There is no other purpose in life than to experience and express joy. We teach a sense of “worth-ship” not worship. We do this by remembering who we are. The kingdom of heaven is here and now, not someplace in the future. There is no time for hate, so love your perceived enemies. You and you alone can shift your beliefs. How are you utilizi...

Everything must be in balance. How is your spiritual balance sheet doing? The relationship between your spiritual assets and liabilities determines your sense of self worth. By focusing on our spiritual assets (and not focusing on our perceived liabilities) we increase our self worth. So, live the life of the possible. Invest in your spiritual assets, and let the past take care of itself.

What reality do you see? What we see is a choice. We can choose to feel part of something big, or we can choose to feel insignificant. What limits us? Our erroneous beliefs. Perception is the problem. We perceive limitation. Instead, create new habits not tied to limitation. Learn to see it all through a lens of wonder. If we look at life through a lens of wonder, what might we see?

We were taught as children not to take up space, to be seen, and not heard. We’ve carried this into adulthood. But what if we had been told that just our presence had value and is valuable? To grow up we may need to pull ourselves out of our well-worn rut, then do the work to establish a new path. It’s work until it isn’t. So, give up what was, and be here in the present moment. It’s time to live...
