Portland Center For Spiritual Living Podcast

When we live in gratitude, we lift our frequency and live in a infinite state of possibility.

As many of us, I learned early in life about the “Sacred Heart of Jesus”. That it is ethereal and something to be looked up at in awe. Separate and unattainable. When I discovered the Church of Religious Science (“yellow church on Foster”) in 1980, I began to realize that the Sacred Heart of Jesus also lives and beats in me! Rather than feel like I would go to Hell for such a thought, I knew that the inclusion, the One, the Unity that represents is Truth. Even though I couldn’t at that time articulate the joy and wonder that I felt. Indeed, Albert Einstein is correct (no surprise there!) when he said, “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” Life is a sacred gift. When we live from the Sacred Life, the ideals of Christ live through us. Unhindered. Flowing smoothly through our lives. What a glorious gift it is!

In this month’s exploration of the Sacred, Profane, and Mundane, we’re offered the opportunity to practice the living Presence of Spirit, everywhere. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller invites us to turn off our left-brain evaluations long enough to experience the One Mind in all things as we go through our day.

Builders of greatness liberate themselves with the “Genius of the ‘AND’ ― paraphrased from Jim Collins. This week we explore solutions, possibilities, and potentials that exist as we release ourselves from the bondage of the known and step into the unknown, where paradoxes play.

Our world is full of paradoxes that are pushing us to the breaking point in many ways. We are at a tipping point that asks us to live in the “AND” – breaking free of the “OR”.

This journey of paradox calls us to curiosity and a willingness to stay in the question rather than know the answer. This uncertainty leads to vulnerability, which can be challenging. Luckily, there are tools we can use along the way to remember that playfulness is the key even in the midst of challenges.

Ever experienced your life really being on a roll and…BAM…you run into a rock? Inspired by music, we’ll get to the heart of how to roll once again by becoming Rock Steady.

In a rapidly changing and often very polarized world, where we put our attention is of the essence. Join us to explore the paradox of life as it calls us forward to bring forth something new this year to teach us the importance of putting our attention where we want our life to be. “There is much, much more going on than we ordinarily think.” -Rosamund and Benjamin Zander from their book ‘The Art of Possibility’ “I live in a responsive, creative system called LIFE, therefore I put my attention where I want my life to be. “

Whatever the question, Love is the answer.

Living by example and loving each other, regardless of our differences, is the perfect way to create a world that works for everyone.

Light is right where you are, and it is the complete answer to what you need, now and always.

I love myself so much, so I can love you so much, so you can love you so much, so you can start loving me!

Light is right where you are, and it is the complete answer to what you need, now and always.

Prosperity is not just having a lot of money. It is having a consciousness of the flow of substance.

Discover how to become a more deliberate creator as you activate your purpose with passion, finding a place of self-acceptance along the way, in order to step fully into living a life out loud.

Once we discover what we have faith in, we can begin to see our path of fulfillment, called in Sanskrit, our Dharma. It may not seem clear at first, but there are clues we can follow. Rev. Dr. Ruth Miller shares some of those clues and invites us to take a few steps as we seek to discover the True Path that is unique to each of us.

Walk the Labyrinth path to transform the stones in your heart. Feel them shift from obstructions to openers of new energy and illuminated pathways.

Was Shakespeare the only person allowed to ask such a question? What if you were to dare to ask such a question of yourself, within your own life? To be or not to be?

All the attributes of the Infinite are in focus as you, flowing forth through you. You are this flow at the point where you are.

The whole universe is concentrated at the point where you are. More than this, you are the universe expressing as you.
