Watch the Broadcast

Summary

Do your prayers “work”? Jesus advised that before you pray, you first “reconcile with your brother.” You must release the “prisoners” you drag around with you. You must release the anger you harbor toward those you have imprisoned deep within your consciousness that you feel have wronged you. Simply open those dungeon doors and tell them to go. And yes, you must release the anger so deeply held against yourself, too.

Open that door.

Release.

Let go.

Only then are you free to affirm the good you seek.

Receive that good without worry as to the why or how of it. Be open with your affirmations. Don’t try to fit the Infinite into your consciousness with detailed requirements, but rather expand your consciousness to the Infinite. And know that you are worthy to receive. You are made of the substance of your Creator.

You are a “godlet”.

We have so much to be thankful for.

Thank You, God! Thank You, God! Thank You, God!

David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on July 11, 2010.



Watch the Broadcast

Summary

We perceive our three-dimensional life through the mind. The mind sees us as separate from everything out there and it defends us. We each have known pain. At such times we see a limit to or a loss of the goodness of God. Anger and hatred naturally protect us when the mind sees us as victims. This is not wrong or bad, but it is not the only perspective.

Our higher consciousness is a higher perspective from which we see things differently. We cannot love when we are in anger and hatred. That is a state which diminishes love and our loving. As spiritual beings, we respond from our truth that is always within us, that we are one with the beautiful Divine Presence. We pray,

“Beloved Presence, reveal that which needs to be revealed. Heal that which needs to be healed.”

And it is revealed that we have a choice. Just wanting to make a choice brings healing. Healing takes away the need for anger and hate. At this point of choosing we are free– deeply, powerfully free.

There is so much love surrounding, enfolding and supporting us! When we ask it and allow it to take us, it lifts us. We see freedom, forgiveness, and wholeness. It has no other purpose. It is time to look at what you have not yet allowed to heal, what has not yet been transformed. You’re not lost. It’s not over. It’s not the way it looks. The world has simply brought you to the question, “What is now, in this moment, the choice to make?” And it is that choice that transforms what you have journeyed into. This love flows through you, and in your choosing it over and over, it is blessing and lifting us all. We are in this together.

David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on July 4, 2010.



Watch the Broadcast

Summary

As we awaken, we go from experiencing life from the outside in, to experiencing life from the inside out. However, the more we experience the connectedness, the more painful our judgments.

We are burdened with “Gehenna”… our garbage. This is the Biblical word that has come to mean “hell”. We choose to be there and can leave whenever we want.

It is easy to get out of hell (the garbage). There is a way out. Since no one can be in two places at the same time, leave the garbage behind. It’s a choice. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. It is within. We discover that which has real value– that which fills us with pure radiant love. That is God. It is that place of divine connection, infinite love and goodness. We experience goodness without limit– “heaven”.

Our perceptions change. We begin to see amazing things drawn into our lives.

“I’m getting healthy”
“I’m leaving this addiction”
“I feel uplifted and good”

We begin to see heaven in those amazing beings drawn into our lives. They take on parts of consciousness to transform it– that’s who is in heaven. It’s here and now. Look around you. It’s easy to get out of the garbage. Love one another. It’s a choice. Pick someone and love. Welcome to heaven!

David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on June 20, 2010.



Watch the Broadcast

Summary

Jesus showed us authority and creative power flowed from Father|God through Him as a spiritual being. The more He attuned to that greater creative power, the more that power moved in and thru His being. He showed us the Oneness which we can experience and touch within our own spiritual self. The authority that we have to direct and choose what comes forth in our world is a picture of that father-son flow. The creative power moves through us when we say, “yes, I choose this creation,” and then that creation comes through into our life. The feminine nature of the Divine is intuition, that capacity that we have to receive higher understanding and direct it into the purpose of our lives. Recognizing when there is something that aligns with our purpose, we are then the instruments thru which the creative power comes into existence.

1st the creative masculine in us each asks, “What is my purpose?” The first step to manifesting the divine power that is within you is the alignment to your purpose. It’s that first point when you accept the divine creative power moving through you. The purpose of your being is to receive that creative power and give it expression as far as you allow it to go.

2nd is “doing your one”. It is doing that which is yours to do. Once you say yes and accept that the purpose of your being is to receive and express the divine creative power, ask what do you need to do to own it, to align with that creative energy that is flowing through you?

3rd. The next step is one of the great steps in creation. The step that uplevels the quality of what is going to take place is letting go. Non attachment. We limit this process sometimes because we put a ceiling on what can be accomplished. That’s when we just keep pushing and hammering at it with our will because we “know what the result should be”. But we must let it go to be what it can be. It uplevels. It goes to the higher fulfillment of our purpose when we let it go, when we are unattached to the result. Spirit is moving through you for your purpose – the expression of who you are and what you are about. It’s what we’ve been talking about in terms of the higher male energy of the heart, where we go into that deep coherence with Divine Intelligence and creative flow by the nonattachment.

4th. Respond in integrity with who you are. Spirit is not there to empower another’s purpose through you; Spirit is there to empower your purpose through you. When you align with that integrity – regardless of how it might look – Spirit moves through you for that purpose which you are about. It expands and carries it forward in the way that is highest for you. It is Spirit which determines the result. Who of us knows what the result will be?

The very highest is brought forth by that power, that love, that consciousness that flows through us. It is wonderful creative energy from the very highest, opening, taking us forward. For each one of us it is now present in your life, lifting you, blessing you. When you align with it, when you go to that place of integrity in your being. There is only one possible result: that it will be good!

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

Extract from Ray’s post:

This video provides a look at who I am, the credentials I bring, and the show I want to host called SEARCHING FOR HIGHER GROUND. It’s a wildcard show that looks at ANY issue and aims to discover how we can learn and grow from it. In essence, SEARCHING AND FINDING HIGHER GROUND. I bring a unique viewpoint as a Ph.D. in psychology, a high level martial artist honoring the heart of the Samurai, and as an ordained interfaith minister (honoring world religions). I hope the idea of this resonates with you and you consider voting for me. Thanks and blessings to you!

Denese Schellink at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on June 13, 2010.



Watch the Broadcast

Summary

Is fear or faith guiding your life? Fear is a sure sign you are trusting in your own power. However, you do not have to stay in energy that does not feel good. When you have accepted circumstances that make you feel uncomfortable, you have been called to see more clearly what you are not living so you can go to what is your calling. It is what you signed up for! Say yes to your Divine appointment. If you knew who walked beside you, fear would be impossible!

Everything is planned for your good. You arrived with your spiritual DNA already coded with all you need to have. All you need is within you. There is peace already within – prosperity already, love already within you.

Peter knew his truth. And just for a moment he trusted, and he walked on water! But then he saw the wind and the storm in the world around him, and he had doubts.

When the wind in your life blows, go within to your truth. Know that there is a Presence and a Power inside of you.

Know God is your Source.

Walk by faith.

David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on June 6, 2010.



Watch the Broadcast

Summary

When you get that pull on your heart, that impossible thing that needs to be done anyhow, that’s God talk. Yes, there can be other lovely things that pull on your heart, so check in with Spirit. This is something different which is really what you are. Guidance is a picture of a state of consciousness that is already complete. Spirit is saying this is yours and now is the time. Go forward, take some steps to manifestation– buy that ticket! “The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.”

Blocks are not wrong or bad, but they are not guidance. Really listen to your heart. Seek clarity. We are guided by Infinite Intelligence because we are one with It, and It will manifest whatever is in intention because it is already in Spiritual Mind. And Infinite Love will give it. You are an instrument of Divine Love, uplifting to all in your world. That is why it was on your heart in the first place.

Affirm, “I am guided by Infinite Wisdom, and prospered by divine Love.”

Go forward, take some steps to manifestation– buy that ticket! “The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.”

Blocks are not wrong or bad, but they are not guidance. Really listen to your heart. Seek clarity. We are guided by Infinite Intelligence because we are one with It, and It will manifest whatever is in intention because it is already in Spiritual Mind. And Infinite Love will give it. You are an instrument of Divine Love, uplifting to all in your world. That is why it was on your heart in the first place.

Affirm, “I am guided by Infinite Wisdom, and prospered by divine Love.”

Summary

Coherence starts with feeling appreciation in our hearts. Turn away from the problem to this feeling through prayer – move into the heart of God. The most coherent state is love and appreciation. It brings healing, balance, and wholeness. “How efficient prayer can be!” Go into prayer for immediate guidance, without waiting for years for an answer.

Then act on it.

Do not put any more time and attention into it.

Be at ease.

Actualize potential. Shine your light. Shine it all the way out! Act on it.

In prayer, from your connection to God, ask, “What is mine to do?” Fill your heart with appreciation and get life guidance. Bring it in with clarity and great, great joy!

Shine your light. Shine it all the way out!

David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on May 23, 2010.



Watch the Broadcast

Summary

In taking on this life we took on limitations we agreed to transform. They drain us, and they keep coming up. Know there is still wholeness, it is part of a greater good. Address the limitation, bring about healing. Transform it by moving from hurt to peace.

Allow yourself to really feel the power of your connection to God flow into you and through you. It is love. It is compassion, the experience that you feel in response to feeling hurt. It flows in response to the hurt of another, as well, because we are one.

Open to feel God’s love and compassion flowing to the part which is hurting, and move to compassion and peace. Live that law; become the law. As you live the compassion the pattern forms in the world around you. Move to a place of compassion in your heart, no matter the situation. We came to heal and transform all that we touch in the Earth. Move from hurt to peace through the power of compassion.

“The unadulterated love of one person can nullify the hate of millions.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

Affirm,

“In the presence of hurt, I choose compassion.”

“In the presence of hurt, I choose compassion.”

Summary

Emilie Cady wrote, “It is time for us to awake to right thoughts, and know that we are not servants, but children, and if children then heirs … Heirs of all wisdom … to all love … of all strength, all life, all power, all good.”

The heir is the spiritual self, the spiritual being that you are. It is not this marvelous ego that has been developed for us to dance through the world. The ego guides this temporary persona that we have jumped into. It doesn’t know how to be the heir. When you journeyed into life, it wasn’t that you weren’t to meet the experiences that were there, those of abundance and lack, of fear and joy, of peace and harmony and of conflict, because those are ideas within this realm that we journey.

The ego is to be cared for by the spiritual self, which guides it into being an instrument to touch the world and know its goodness.

When Jesus said “the kingdom is at hand”, he meant that we can touch life and experience the presence of God. We can experience the goodness of the realm, its beauty, its wholeness, its abundance. We can know the Presence in every experience, and that is the kingdom of heaven, and it is here and now. Just as people from the court go ahead of their prince announcing his coming and making easy his way, know and affirm:

“Divine Love goes before me, making easy, joyous, and successful my way.”

David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on May 9, 2010.



Watch the Broadcast

Summary

Motherhood connects us with a powerful aspect of the Divine Presence, that of the nurturing Divine Mother. We get to touch an aspect of what God is (knowing there is no place where God ends and we start). A mother awakens to a spiritual vision, seeing her child as a spiritual being, seeing the potential of that soul in the life experience. She is always calling forth that potential. The mother sees a wonderful, beautiful, radiant being.

The expression of that Divine Mother principle is in you whether you are male or female; it is a part of your connection with the Divine. This spiritual Divine Vision sees the Christ in your being, that level where you are one with the presence and power of God. It is always calling forth, saying it’s time to step up into your being– it’s time to get on with what you are about, who you are.

Accept the vision that is held of you by God. You are a radiant, powerful, intelligent, purposeful, spiritual being. You are here about what your soul has committed to do. You have the full power and intelligence and capability to accomplish everything that is on your heart, and you are a blessing to everyone in your life! That is the vision in God’s mind of who you are. Accept it with these words, “I am a child of God! A blessing to all I meet!” It is the truth. It is who you are. It is what you are here for. What you are is so magnificent, and God sees it!

Summary

“Know ye not that ye are gods?”

“Know the white (that which is illumined) but keep to the black (that which is yet to be illumined, as your issues, or the potential of all): be a pattern for the world. If you are a pattern for the world, the Tao will be strong inside you and there will be nothing you can’t do.” – Lao-tzu

In the Transfiguration, Jesus showed us the pattern of who we really are. We can see this when we raise our awareness through our faith, our openness to a higher order, and love.

Through the grace of pure love which is always present, we see both the impersonal principle of Divine Law as well as the personal guidance of the Divine expressing in our lives. Receive this into your being. We are the beloved “in whom I Am well pleased”.

Repeat, “I am God’s beloved child.”

See in yourself the pattern of divine power and radiant light.

Say yes to the power, the radiant light, the wholeness.

Be the pattern.

For the world.

“I am God’s beloved child.”

David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on April 25, 2010.



Watch the Video

Summary

We pray “Mother | Father God” and bring our attention to the female as well as the male aspect of the divine.

Know the male, yet keep to the female.

Know the white, which is that which is illumined. Yet keep to the black– which is what is not illumined, issues you hide or potential not yet brought to light. “If you receive the world, the Tao will never leave you.”

“The Tao is the great Mother… always present within you.” From the divine feminine we learn a pattern of attunement to the divine presence. Within you is the perfect idea of who you are. Receive the female world into your arms, as the mother enfolds the child. Be receptive. Practice constant humility– let go of the mind’s need and open to the divine feminine. Be a pattern for the world, and there is nothing you can’t do, and “the Tao will be strong inside you…”

Pray:

“The Tao is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

The Tao is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

The Tao is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.”

“God is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

God is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

God is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.”

“Love is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

Love is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

Love is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.”

Joyous hope is all there is because through your heart all is transformed.

David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on April 25, 2010.

Summary

We pray “Mother | Father God” and bring our attention to the female as well as the male aspect of the divine.

Know the male, yet keep to the female.

Know the white, which is that which is illumined. Yet keep to the black– which is what is not illumined, issues you hide or potential not yet brought to light. “If you receive the world, the Tao will never leave you.”

“The Tao is the great Mother… always present within you.” From the divine feminine we learn a pattern of attunement to the divine presence. Within you is the perfect idea of who you are. Receive the female world into your arms, as the mother enfolds the child. Be receptive. Practice constant humility– let go of the mind’s need and open to the divine feminine. Be a pattern for the world, and there is nothing you can’t do, and “the Tao will be strong inside you…”

Pray:

“The Tao is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

The Tao is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

The Tao is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.”

“God is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

God is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

God is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.”

“Love is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

Love is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.

Love is strong in me; there is nothing I can’t do.”

Joyous hope is all there is because through your heart all is transformed.

Summary

“There is only one presence and one power in the universe and in my life, the all loving goodness of God.” Sometimes it doesn’t look that way. It looks like our way is strewn with thorns to keep us from our good. The fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty is really the story of how we mature spiritually, how the soul unfolds to know that it is true that there really is only one power.

Often the pain and loss we experience in life shuts down our feeling nature, we fall asleep. We engage in a transient perception that our experience has polarity, that there are other powers over us.

We see fire-breathing dragons flying overhead. As the Prince, we overcome false perceptions with the Shield of Virtue (we remain true to our self) and the Sword of Truth (God is good all the time). At this higher level, then, the Prince (that part which knows the truth) kisses Sleeping Beauty (that part of our self which feels the truth).

In this “mystical union” we are awakened to know and feel at every level who we are– spiritual beings in a spiritual world governed by spiritual laws. We understand with great compassion the pain and loss in our polarized experience, yet we also understand that we are much more than we can ever perceive.

We are power and love– that bring forth life itself– a purpose so sacred on our heart that the universe is aligned to bring it forth.

We stay in the awareness of the presence of the Divine. This is the kingdom of God. This is the “happily ever after”.

Summary

The Easter story is a demonstration of the power that we are. We have the power to overcome any limitation. Jesus saw that there really is only wholeness. There really is only love. There really is only life.

He was willing to be an instrument of the love. He knew God Is Good All The Time.

Like the deepest shadows of Jesus’ tomb that couldn’t be seen, there are depths within ourselves we cannot fathom. So even if we do not feel the love for ourselves, we can still be an instrument of that love and wholeness.

Repeat:

“I am willing to be the instrument of God’s Love.”

“I am willing to be the instrument of God’s Love.”

Within this world, within our lives and the lives around us, a new world – a new life is coming into full, complete and beautiful manifestation.

“I am willing to be the instrument of God’s Love.”

Summary

Jesus taught that the greatest commandment is You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, and that the second is like it, Love your neighbor as yourself. The experience of love for self is experiencing God because God is love. Appreciating the frequencies, the energies, the textures of life is part of the experience of heaven. The sweetness of life is God; the wonderful flavor and richness of life is God.

God’s love is the only way that the richness of life is open to you. Your body is love with a physicality to it, so that you may play in the things you love. Every moment there is divine energy moving through you – you don’t even have to be right! It’s absolute love. God is everywhere and in everything. God is abundant. Let the love of God in.

The people in your life are God expressing, asking you to step up to be who you can really be. You are loved. There’s not people and God, there is only God. The child falls, and gets up, it does something wonderful, it makes a mess. Regardless, the parent delights in the child. And God delights in us, messes and all. We are so blessed.

So let in that which fills your heart. You are loving yourself; you are feeling God. You don’t have the power not to have it, only not to feel it. Let it in, fill you up, overflow in and through you, as you. You are the love.

Repeat,

“I am the beloved child of God.”

“I am the beloved child of God.”

Summary

How do we meet the challenge of people who irritate us? Jesus said that before you remove the speck from your brother’s eye, you should “take the plank from your own eye”. In other words, the problem is more so in you; work on yourself. It’s an inside job. Trying to manipulate the outer world doesn’t work.

As co-creator, you brought everything into your life, but since there is only the love of God, what is in your life is there to bring that which is higher, a way for you to be free. In dealing with those who irritate you, forgiveness frees you from your resentment.

A simple and powerful way to be free to be who you are is Love– love for those you need to forgive but also for you, too. So meet those who irritate you with

“Divine Love flows between us, blessing all.”

“Divine Love flows between us, blessing all.”

It lifts you to the heights! What freedom! What joy! You deserve it!

As co-creator, you brought everything into your life, but since there is only the love of God, what is in your life is there to bring that which is higher, a way for you to be free. In dealing with those who irritate you, forgiveness frees you from your resentment.

A simple and powerful way to be free to be who you are is Love– love for those you need to forgive but also for you, too. So meet those who irritate you with

“Divine Love flows between us, blessing all.”

“Divine Love flows between us, blessing all.”

It lifts you to the heights! What freedom! What joy! You deserve it!

Summary

When we react to events, we project our past experience into the future. But there is a different potential that can be brought forth, another dimension in which we live, in which we access an amazing goodness and love. The doorway is through the heart. Go into the Silence. It is a place with the most amazing power to it, a place where we step through dimensions of consciousness.

Be present in the “now moment” and add in appreciation. And for the power, add to the moment your awareness of the presence of God. Right now that amazing everywhere-present life force is flowing into you, filling you with life and illuminating your mind every single moment.

It is there loving you.

It has been in this eternal moment of now since you stepped forth into being.

It folds you in infinite love.

Even as you breathe, It breathes you.

It is so unlimited that we literally cross dimensions of consciousness and activate higher levels of our soul purpose and bring forth higher creation. It is how we create with unlimited possibilities.

In the now you higher purpose has nothing to stop its full expression as you bring it forth, and it has the power to transform whatever it is that’s before you because it is not limited in the mind because it is the unlimited presence of divine love moving in and through you. You are one with that. And when you open to that, when you say yes to this moment and this Presence in it, you are blessed … There is no limit.

“I am so blessed. I am so blessed. I am so blessed.” It’s true, because you are that Love.

Summary

Salaam Alaikum, Friends in Unity,

The way of peace through submission to the will of God has really been around since Creation. This is the 95% of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism that is identical. A Muslim (literally one who submits to the will of God) feels our purpose here in this Earthly existence is two-fold. First is to live in harmony– even to differentiate among the peoples of the Earth is to fail in that. Second is to study to know God, Who is evidenced by everything around us.

Is it a coincidence that Unity began as study groups, and that our classes are a mainstay for us still? And do we not strive for harmony with each other, our community, our world around us? We say every Sunday, “In striving to know You, God, we are one.” How affirming to know our Unity with those of “other” faiths!

So peace to you; salaam alaikum!

David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on February 28, 2010.

Summary

I see You.

The movie “Avatar” is a cinematic marvel that dazzles the eye and metaphysical sense of the viewer. It recounts how we dwell in two different worlds – our human experience of this three-D world, and another of a single life which is omnipresent. The latter is the kingdom of God that Jesus spoke of, where “kingdom” refers to the state of consciousness in which we are fully aware of the presence of God. Thus, learning that we have a spiritual nature is the first step toward spiritual maturity. Leaving behind that perception that we are separate beings that need to take from each other, we become aware of our connectedness to each other and our one-ness with God.

On the next level of spiritual growth, balancing our human and spiritual natures, then, becomes key. We come to know that only by mastering our fear(s) can we be free to fly, to progress to spiritual maturity. However, moving from the state in which the individual says “I have a spiritual nature” to that of “I am a spiritual being” sets up conflict between harmony and abundance, and our human fears. That is when our human foibles attack our spiritual core. Are you living as a spiritual being or are you serving the sleeping consciousness of a human?

Though we do not have the power to overcome our human-ness, we can master the instrument that transports us above the shadows of ignorance. That is why we say “it is not I, but the power within, a power greater than myself, God as I understand Him|Her.” The “still, small voice within”. The gentle spirit. The intuitive sense there is something greater here. After all, there is only one power.

So no matter how much we know about having a spiritual nature, it does not free us from living and dying locked within our 3-D consciousness. But the knowledge that “I am a spiritual being living in a spiritual world governed by spiritual law” frees us to soar above fear and ignorance in harmony and abundance in the light above the shadows.

Now when we greet one another, we can acknowledge what we know to be true of every one of us. We can greet each other by saying “I see You.”

Summary

“If you pour your words of faith into the omni-present substance, you will be prospered though all the banks in the world be closed.”

–Charles Fillmore.

Our journey to prosperity thus far has 6 steps. Today they are united in the 7th.

The 6 are:

  1. Be clear of your purpose, which is defined by your passion – those things that are important to you. The Universe is as committed to your success as you are, providing all that you need to manifest it.
  2. Through healing and forgiveness clear away that which blocks your success from coming to you.
  3. Jump into the flow of God’s giving nature by your giving – your tithing.
  4. Attune to God’s goodness through the power of prayer.
  5. Since that which we affirm with our focus is manifested, strive to live complaint free. Use your powers for good.
  6. Our caring actions bring into manifestation the love of God in this 3D world.

The 7th step is to express your gratitude for God’s goodness, even in the face of challenges.

Do not “Thank God” as a victim as that will attract more of the same. Know that there is no thought of lack in God’s mind. As spiritual, creative beings we know there is something good, something wonderful and whole coming. Often we can’t see it, but we know it’s got to be there.

“Thank You, God, for the goodness that is there that must come forth.”

If you are willing to let God’s goodness flow in and through your life, even when facing challenges, say, “Thank You, God!”

Summary

When we love, the One we are really loving is God. When love is present, the limits we normally see do not bind us. The state of love can change us from moment to moment. Commit to love and care.

Care is applied love. How powerfully we care expresses our love. Our first assignment is to be the love we are and care for ourselves and others.

The gift of love opens us to see others as they truly are. However, they do not need to choose to bring forth the truth we see. We often combine our vision with our expectations, but love need not return through the ones we love.

The gift of love frees us. Through the feeling and practice of care, we are being the instrument of love. The gift can come any way. Sometime it gives us time to be alone. The assignment is the same, to love and care for someone, even if it is yourself.

When we love, the One we are really loving is God.

Summary

Do you want to affirm your limitations? Do you want more of what you are complaining about? Then keep complaining! When we speak our words, we put our power of creation out into the world. We put our thoughts into three dimensional being. We must become conscious of our creative power.

By putting our thoughts into the three dimensional world we draw to us that which we speak.

The nature of God is wholeness which is always present. Let us affirm the wholeness of the goodness of God. Acknowledging even the darkness as part of the whole, let us speak the world we want to exist. Break through to the next level.

Join others in creating a Complaint Free World. Join in the “ripple effect which will become a cascade of positivity around the world bringing about greater harmony, understanding, prosperity and peace.” (from the vision statement, A Complaint Free World)

“Complaint Free Living” featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on February 7, 2010.

Summary

Do you want to affirm your limitations? Do you want more of what you are complaining about? Then keep complaining! When we speak our words, we put our power of creation out into the world. We put our thoughts into three dimensional being. We must become conscious of our creative power.

By putting our thoughts into the three dimensional world we draw to us that which we speak.

The nature of God is wholeness which is always present. Let us affirm the wholeness of the goodness of God. Acknowledging even the darkness as part of the whole, let us speak the world we want to exist. Break through to the next level.

Join others in creating a Complaint Free World. Join in the “ripple effect which will become a cascade of positivity around the world bringing about greater harmony, understanding, prosperity and peace.“ (from the vision statement, A Complaint Free World)

“Praying Through a Storm” featuring Sheila Gautreaux” at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on January 31, 2010.

Summary

You have the power. Be in awe of yourself. You are a child of the Grand Operational Design – G.O.D. Thus you are royal. You do not want or need anything, as that implies lack. Whatever you require you already have. Command it to manifest.

When your prayers are unanswered it is because your affirmations are butting up against a core belief which counters your desires. Ask, “What is grabbing my emotions? What grabs my thoughts?” That is what you are praying. That is what your attention is directing the endless possibilities into manifesting. Bruce Lipton explains that even our DNA responds to our emotions. But DNA really stands for Do Not Accept anything as stopping you. You have the power.

Pray, “God, I want to know You more.” The more you know God, the more you know your truth.

Say to yourself, “I am whole now. I am healthy now. I am wealthy now.” Call forth your good with belief and feel it throughout your body in every one of your trillion cells. Feel the wave of truth move from the soles of your feet up through your body and out through the crown of your head. Let go, you couldn’t be safer letting God. “Holy Spirit does the singing. All you need to do is show up and look cute.”

"Prosperity Principles: Tithing" featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on January 24, 2010.

Summary

Here are the steps for bringing abundance into your life this year.

Step 1. Go into the Silence. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God." Affirm "God is my instant, constant, abundant supply."

Step 2. Attune to your purpose. Make your choices in your heart; follow your passion.

Step 3. Open to receive. Remove those blocks to your abundance by freeing yourself through forgiveness. Unburden yourself. "Divine Love lifts me, frees me, and prospers me."

This week's lesson:

Step 4. Expand the flow of good in your life through giving. "As you give it is given to you." Everything is God's after all. But it is not ours to give all. Our abundance is to be used with wisdom. Seek guidance to find what is yours to say "yes" to. The greatest tool for expanding your flow is tithing. It is the acknowledgment that God is your source. It is acknowledging the beautiful goodness that is flowing in you, through you, creating and expanding your physical world. It is knowing that God is your partner. Even loss is God coming through. Yet loss is minimized and gain maximized. Bring your highest perceptions through into the physical. Become an instrument for transformation in the world. And tithing is saying, "Thank You God!"

Thank You God! Thank You God! Thank You God!

"Prosperity Principles: Forgiveness (weekly series part 3 of 4)" featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on January 17, 2010.

Summary

To prosper, we have to transform that which blocks out our good. We need to remove or transform the barriers of anger, resentment, hate, and fear we have built which block our propserity from flowing. We need to unburden ourselves, to free ourselves. Forgiveness is not about the other person, it is about letting go of our pain again and again until it is gone. To do this, we need to bring the awareness of the goodness of God into the feelings of hate, etc. You must really want to be free of the burden. Ask for the pain to be healed. Bring the love and compassion, that Divine Presence into the pain to be healed. Find it in that deep peace. That Divine Love has the power to free us, to lift us.

"Divine Love lifts me, frees me, and prospers me."

"Divine Love lifts me, frees me, and prospers me."

David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on January 17, 2010.




Summary

To prosper, we have to transform that which blocks out our good. We need to remove or transform the barriers of anger, resentment, hate, and fear we have built which block our propserity from flowing. We need to unburden ourselves, to free ourselves. Forgiveness is not about the other person, it is about letting go of our pain again and again until it is gone. To do this, we need to bring the awareness of the goodness of God into the feelings of hate, etc. You must really want to be free of the burden. Ask for the pain to be healed. Bring the love and compassion, that Divine Presence into the pain to be healed. Find it in that deep peace. That Divine Love has the power to free us, to lift us.

“Divine Love lifts me, frees me, and prospers me.”

“Divine Love lifts me, frees me, and prospers me.”

“Divine Love lifts me, frees me, and prospers me.”

"Prosperity Principles: Finding Your Purpose (weekly series part 2 of 4)" featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on January 10, 2010.

Summary

Sometimes we are sure of our purpose in this life, but the universe does not seem to be saying "yes", we are not meeting with much success at all. So we go within and check our guidance, and the purpose we were sure of is affirmed! Why, then, is the universe not responding with abundant success? This is when we need to re-align ourselves with our purpose. We need to re-align our mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. We need to ask ourselves, "What are we showing up with?" Even addiction and childhood trauma can be transformed if we walk through them aligned on purpose.

So to re-align yourself in every aspect, change your consciousness. Bring the power of your heart into it. Our individual purpose is in our hearts, not our heads. It is passion that points us in the direction of our purpose. You have the capability of creating abundance – it is the work you are about. You are to give form to the Universal Energy. Make a choice in your heart. Show up and transform. The universe will say, "Yes!" and abundant success will flow in and through your life.

Marianne Williamson said, “Your playing small serves no one.” Well, living on purpose, manifesting your purpose, is playing “big”. You are not just creating what you are about. Your abundance, your purpose flows into the world transforming it as well. You are creating a different world!

“We are one with Creative Energy. It is never depleted. It always responds to us. It must give; that is its nature.” – Charles Fillmore, Prosperity

How many forests are in a single apple?

Thoughts of lack limit your wholeness.

There is no thought of lack in Divine Mind. Abundance is in every level. It is your birthright to prosper. You are a spiritual being. Call prosperity into manifestation here and now. Prove it.

Set a time for this every day.

Go into the silence. “Seek first the kingdom of God.”

Look to God as the Source.

Everything is God.

Pour your living faith into the substance of Spirit.

Affirm “God is my instant, constant, abundant supply.”

Affirm that in gratitude.

Affirm it in your power.

Affirm it in joy.

“God is my instant, constant, abundant supply.”

“The Consciousness of Christmas” featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on December 27, 2009.

Summary

We look forward to Christmas with such childlike anticipation. The sense of community seems world-wide, universal, as we eagerly open to the rebirth of the awareness of the Christ Child among us, in us. That pure love in which we realize we are the instruments of the flow of God’s love to all, freely sending good wishes and giving gifts big and small. We are especially moved to give to those in the community with obvious need. We donate to food banks and charity drives anonymously, blindly.

All too soon, though, our ebullient spirits fade as we reach overwhelm, believing we cannot possibly have the means to serve all those in need among us. We wistfully put away our sense of universal community for another year, asking, “Why can’t the spirit of Christmas last all year long?”

However, this expanded consciousness does not need to end! You do have the means; your resources are infinite. You have the power within to maintain this expanded consciousness. You know how love transforms. Send it forth. Send forth the expanded Christmas awareness. Stay in the beauty and effectiveness; create by your intention. Send the beauty and light to those in need. You are the instrument of that transformation. You are a co-creator! Send the spirit of Christmas.

As Rev. David says, “Sing Christmas carols all year long.”

“A Special Christmas” featuring Joyful Noise Choir at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on December 20, 2009.

Summary

‘The baby Jesus shows us that love is something you do. You show love by what you do, not just by what you feel.

Over and over again, in the Bible, God commands us to love each other. And you can’t command an emotion.…If love were just an emotion, then God couldn’t command it. But love is something you do. It can produce emotion, but love is an action.

The Bible says, “Let us stop just saying we love each other; let us really show it by our actions” (1 John 3:18 NLT). We can talk a good act: “I love people.” But do we really love them? Do you really love them? Our love is revealed in how we act toward them.’

–Daily Hope, Posted by Rick Warren, December 10 2009

Let us take these wise words to heart, and take action this Christmas. Yes, we’re sending off a small mountain of shoes. We can join the carolers at Kensington Retirement Home Monday at 7. How many Red Cross kettles have you passed this year without dropping you change in? Just take a moment and think of the many opportunities you have to go only a little out of your way and thereby make this a wonderful Christmas season for you and yours and someone you don’t even know. Love is a verb of action.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Let us take these wise words to heart, and take action this Christmas. Yes, we’re sending off a small mountain of shoes. We can join the carolers at Kensington Retirement Home Monday at 7. How many Red Cross kettles have you passed this year without dropping you change in? Just take a moment and think of the many opportunities you have to go only a little out of your way and thereby make this a wonderful Christmas season for you and yours and someone you don’t even know. Love is a verb of action.

Merry Christmas everyone!

“Becoming an Instrument” featuring Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on December 13, 2009.

Summary

The angels of the Christmas story show God communicates with us directly, that we are connected with God and that it is a two way street. And the message in the Christmas story calls us each to be an instrument for bringing forth that which is greater. With our willingness and commitment to do so, and our moving on it, we need not know for what end. We might be an instrument of healing of body or heart. Or maybe we’ll bring peace into a family. We likely will never know, but the world will change because of our faithful action.

So with each Christmas carol you hear this season, with every gift you choose and every cookie you bake, celebrate. Celebrate because you got the message, God is talking to you. If you listen, if you reply, “What is mine to do?”, and open up to it, then, just as on that first Christmas night, the angels will sing “Glory to God in the highest; peace to all of good will”.

Summary

“Now… scientists have realized …that the invisible, immaterial realm is far more important than the material realm… The new science …shows that your thoughts, your attitudes, your beliefs, and the invisible environment, are more primary in shaping your life than anything in the physical world is.” –Bruce Lipton, author and leading proponent of Epigenetics.

How lucky we are to live in these times in which science is actually proving our spirituality rather than treating it with disdain! And how lucky to know that we access our inner power and the “invisible environment” simply with the most basic of all life-giving steps — our breathing.

“I become centered now… With each breath I take in… I affirm … I am in the presence of God now and always. As I exhale… “Thank You, God!”… As I breathe in rhythm with God-life, I am renewed and energized.”

- Daily Word – June 1, 2009

Let us this week remain aware of our inner, direct connection to the power that created and sustains the universe. Let us “breathe in rhythm with God-life”.

“Cinderella (part 3): Steps to Happily Ever After ” by Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on November 15, 2009. http://unitycenter.net

Summary

“…The divine essence within me, is my guide to spiritual living… Whether in an established time of prayer or a moment’s sigh of release, I am lifted into the light of divine potential where I receive guidance and inspiration. I consciously connect with the Christ and prepare to meet my good, to succeed and to prosper in my endeavors… ‘God chose to make known how great… are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.’–Colossians 1:27″ Daily Word- October 15, 2009

Thank you Rev. David for the “how to”:

Begin with being grateful for the people, animal friends, or events in your life which take you right to that place within that feels closest to God. Then acknowledge the power and love that flows through your heart. Now feel your conscious union of mind and heart with God.

You empower your knowledge with your feeling. You “enliven” it. Now you can live it.  God bless.

“Cinderella (part 2): Mystical Union ” by Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on November 8, 2009. http://unitycenter.net

Summary

As we ponder the now moment, we might think of ourselves slicing time into ever thinner slices like a biologist slicing a specimen for a microscope slide. A video freeze frame is another good analogy in which a moment is frozen. That is the now. An instant in which motion and progression are not apparent– there is only the stop-action of the moment. Imagine how our solar system would look “in the now”– like a photo or drawing showing all the planets suspended in their orbits. As we ponder, we get the feeling the planets are bursting to move, they have to. The measure of potential energy ready to act is beyond our reckoning. If the planets don’t move, we feel they will explode, the potential energy is so great.

Isn’t this the potential Charles Fillmore directed us to appropriate with our intention? Remembering who we are with our minds and feeling or experiencing that knowledge with our hearts, we can, in the now moment, direct our potential to make it real. It can become reality. In the now moment when things appear to be suspended, we can nudge things into the right direction. We can “intend” them to be what fulfills our heart’s desire.  We can manifest the life we came here to live. Just as Cinderella slipped her foot into the glass slipper and claimed her right place in the kingdom, we too can slip into the now moment whenever possible in our busy day, if only for a second. In the now moment, we can direct our potential by envisioning our lives lived to their fullest, our potential becoming manifest. We can claim our rightful place in the Kingdom, and “live happily ever after”.

“Cinderella (part 1): Story of Transformation ” by Rev. David McArthur at Unity Center of Walnut Creek on November 1, 2009. http://unitycenter.net

Summary

Like the flower in the field reaching up to the sun, we strive to transform ourselves into what we came here to be. While positive thinking readies us, to rise to the next level we need to enfold ourselves in the love of God.

“My heart receives the comforting balm of God’s love. . .The love of God is a soothing balm, and it is also a great restorative power. . God’s love can never be diminished; good continuously pours into our lives in new and wonderful ways.” Daily Word - June 21, 1988

This is how we empower ourselves, and open ourselves to receive that good that is poured upon us without measure. As the vibrant colors of the flowers radiate their glory, let us radiate God’s love from our hearts. Let us transform ourselves into the beings we came here to be.
