Month: July
Monthly Theme: Living Everyday Wonder – Relationships
Weekly Topic Title: (July 31st) The Only Relationship Is God
Marketing Teaser: No matter who or what the relationship is, it must be a relationship with God since God is All there Is. And ultimately it is a demonstration of God’s relationship with ItSelf. We can participate in this consciously and welcome more wonder and awe or unconsciously and keep reaping what we see in the world of collective consciousness.
A One Sentence Affirmation:
My relationships with everything demonstrates my relationship with God
Monthly Theme Summary: There is only God. The way we relate to ourselves, one another, the world, and with The Universal Power are all interconnected and inseparable. We cannot claim to love God while hating ourselves. We cannot declare that it is a Just and Equitable Universe while treating others (people, animals, the Earth) unjustly and inequitably. This month is the invitation to anchor in the Spiritual Practice of Engaged Relationships and actively reveling in the wonder of how each relationship is ultimately a relationship of Spirit with ItSelf.
Summary of Today’s Topic:
God is all there is. There is nothing that can exist outside of God since there is no outside of God! Which means everything and everyone no matter the external, dualistic appearance is intimately and wonderfully demonstrating a relationship with Spirit. This relationship is either discordant or harmonious by our choosing. Today, let us reassess how we will choose to show up in this loving and wonderful relationship.
Suggested Science of Mind Point of View:
By spirituality we mean a constructive atmosphere of goodness, truth, beauty, harmony, and reality. Such an atmosphere comes to such a degree as one comes to believe, to understand, and to make use of the invisible Presence, the invisible Intelligence, which is what we mean when we speak of the Spirit or God. To be spiritually minded is to be whole-minded. To be whole-minded is to be holy. It means that we realize the complete unity of God and His creation. If we, therefore, demand from ourselves, freely, openly, and emphatically, a spiritual reaction to success, it means that we understand the complete unity and close relationship of all life and can more fully express prosperity and success. ~ It’s Up to You! (1968):(p. 18.2)
1. “The life and teaching of Jesus was to show the intimate, immediate personal relationship that we all have with Life Itself which is within us, around us, and through us.” ~ 10 Ideas That Make a Difference (1966): (p.13.2)
2. “I believe that God is to each one what that person is to God. The Divine Nature must be Infinite, we know only as much of this Nature as we embody;...” ~Can We Talk to God? (1934):(p. 75.6)
3. A person’s relationship to God should be direct, dynamic. Every person’s mind is an inlet to the Divine. There is tolerance in this concept, and inclusion. The Infinite is all-inclusive, all-embracing, all-comprehending. ~ Science of Mind Magazine:(November, 1996, p. 28)
Month: August 7, Week 1
Monthly Theme: Living Everyday Wonder – Nature
Weekly Topic Title: Earth Force, Report for Duty!
Marketing Teaser:
Attention all planetary citizens: Earth Force needs you now! Report for duty to nurture and protect planet Earth. Join like-minded individuals in support of a worthy and noble cause. Experience the everyday wonder of Nature right where you are.
A One Sentence Affirmation:
I am One with all of Life on planet Earth.
Monthly Theme Summary:
We live on Earth, but are we living as One—in harmony with the planet, nature, and all living beings—including ourselves? If we truly believe that God is all there is, then let us live in a way that reflects this truth. Let us move from just saying words, to understanding how this truth shows up in our lives, and to finally making it a daily, sustainable practice. This month, the invitation is to explore and deepen our connection with God, as everything and everyone on this amazing, living planet.
Summary of Today’s Topic:
This month, as we explore the wonder of nature, let us look first at our home – planet Earth. It is so large and such a part of our day-to-day lives, that we can easily take it for granted. Perhaps we don’t even realize the gifts we are constantly receiving from it. Are we truly aware of how dependent we are on a healthy, vibrant planet for our own survival? What would we do without breathable air or drinkable water? The outer reflects the inner and the inner reflects the outer, including our bodies and this planet.
1. Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~ Khalil Gibran
2. Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads. ~ Henry David Thoreau
3. "Silently repeat to yourself: I forgive myself for any ways in which I knowingly or unknowingly caused hurt or harm to any living being or creature. I forgive all." ~ Michael Beckwith
Month: August 14th, Week 2
Monthly Theme: Living Everyday Wonder – Nature
Weekly Topic Title: The Water of Life
+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)
“Water, water everywhere...” About 71 percent of our planet’s surface is water-covered, yet only a very small percent is usable for drinking and agriculture. Can we repair what we are doing to our planet and the water that all life relies upon to live?
A One Sentence Affirmation:
I am grateful for the waters of Life that sustain me.
Monthly Theme Summary:
We live on Earth, but are we living as One—in harmony with the planet, nature, and all living beings—including ourselves? If we truly believe that God is all there is, then let us live in a way that reflects this truth. Let us move from just saying words, to understanding how this truth shows up in our lives, and to finally making it a daily, sustainable practice. This month, the invitation is to explore and deepen our connection with God, as everything and everyone on this amazing, living planet.
Summary of Today’s Topic:
This week, as we explore the wonder of nature, let us look at one of the most vital resources we have - water. Earth is called the blue planet because of the large surface area that is covered by water. Our oceans, seas, lakes and rivers provide food, oxygen, climate regulation, recreation, the ability to travel from one land mass to another, and even medicine. While water is plentiful, most of it is salt water and not readily drinkable or usable for agriculture.
Science helps us know the properties and function of water in the natural world. Ethics helps us decide how to preserve, protect, and distribute Earth’s water resources. Spirituality helps us identify our core convictions about the meaning and value of water.
If we genuinely hold that water has intrinsic value, it will be demonstrated in how we act and our actions will demonstrate respect for Earth’s water resources. Conversely, if we routinely act in ways that misuse water, we will display an inner spirit that lacks respect for water–regardless of what we may say about its value. Paying attention to our actions helps us identify our operating spirituality; greater awareness of our inner spirit helps us align with our true convictions.
Let us be custodians and guardians of the lakes, rivers, and oceans for all life on planet Earth. Let us immerse ourselves in the flow of the river of life, where the water flows pure and crystal clear.
1. “Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of one hidden stuff.” ~The Magic In Your Mind by Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1961 (p.16)
2. “The concentration of the Universal Spirit into a Personality on the spiritual plane correlatively to the individuality of each one who affords the necessary thought-conditions.” ~ The Edinburgh & Dore Lectures on Mental Science by Thomas Troward, 1989. (p. 171)
3. “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” Bible, King James Version, John 4:14
Month: August 21, Week 3
Monthly Theme: Living Everyday Wonder – Nature
Weekly Topic Title: The Furry, the Fuzzy, the Slimy, the Scaly and Everyone Else
Marketing Teaser:
Before 2020, you probably never heard of the Pangolin. Though the animal intermediary responsible for the pandemic remains unidentified, this rare, gentle creature continues to be hunted, after its bad COVID-related press. Our planet is filled with many plants, animals, and insects that we misuse, abuse, or fear because of the stories we’ve believed. Let us not forget that all life is sacred and a vital part of this living planet’s ecosystem.
A One Sentence Affirmation:
I embrace all of Life, including the fuzzy, furry, and tiny.
Monthly Theme Summary:

If we truly believe that God is all there is, then let us live in a way that reflects this truth.

This month, the invitation is to explore and deepen our connection with God, as everything and everyone on this amazing, living planet.
Summary of Today’s Topic:
This week, as we explore the wonder of nature, let us consider all of the amazing creatures that live on this planet. Many of which we have never seen and perhaps never heard of before. Consider all the animals that live in your area for a moment, from the large to the small. What have you noticed today? Are you awake to the amazing animal kingdom that is everywhere we look? Animals can even be seen in large cities. Let's open our eyes and notice all the furry, fuzzy, slimy, and scaly creatures that we share this planet with.
