‘The Ego’s Place In God’s Plan’

Without the impetus of the ego perception there would be no free will, no reason for choice and nothing would get done, good or bad. Thus, our quest for the enlightened awareness and life does not entail obliterating the ego, but rather utilizing it for manifesting good and worthwhile projects in the world. In essence, the quest for enlightenment and a life of personal fulfillment and peace requires the practice of ‘mindfulness’ which maintains the ego as a servant of

‘How to Find the Joy of Life’

Some people try to find it in alcohol or drugs. Some try to find it in promiscuous sex, while others try to find it in the material things money can buy. Some try gambling, traveling, shopping, TV, surfing, the web, eating or gossip. All of the above will fail to bring true and lasting joy, momentary or fleeting pleasures perhaps, but not true Joy which can only be attained through Personal Transformation into your True Self.

Is It Really Worth It?

How often do we hear that we should be more mindful, more positive, do affirmations, pray, meditate and have a more dedicated spiritual practice? If we are active in our Unity Community we probably hear it a lot, but what we might not be hearing is “Why?” Why bother with spiritual practice when there are so many other exciting things we could be doing!? This is a great question that Rev. Shad will address in this video.

The Brakes Have Come Off

Notice how birds land on a branch – with absolute trust. They trust that the branch will move with them as they land and then stabilize. You can do the same too. What if your “landing” isn’t what you expected and you wobble? Does that mean you will fall? Hardly! Even gymnasts land in a way that forces them to deal with their weight and forward movement. You are strong and can do the same. Recognizing that movement when you land is a natural and helpful

What’s On Your Mind?

People living in the ego-centric definition of life are often afraid to reveal what they are thinking, unless it’s another opportunity to talk smack or gossip about others. Such unfortunate egos don’t realize how their negative impressions are creating turmoil within themselves. A person suffering from chronic, negative awareness needs more than the anxiety within to cause a change of mind. Usually, the person needs a spiritual wake up call, or personal counseling. The object of the counselor is to help

The Secret of Personal Transformation

According to the teachings of the spiritual masters, the True Self of God exists within everyone. In Christianity this True Self is Christ. In Buddhism this True of Core Nature is called Buddha Nature. In Hindu Spirituality it is called Brahman. Every major religion has a special name for the True Self of every person.

Transcending All Authorities

No one becomes enlightened in a flash, or “overnight,” as they say. It is a process you sign up for which invites the unseen master in you to take charge of your conscious and subconscious beliefs. Eventually your conscious mind becomes one with the Divine (Master’s) mind in you — your higher or True Self. In the enlightenment process one constant Truth must be claimed and held onto in order to achieve your goal. In this video, Rev. Jack will be revealing this Truth!

The Secret to Enlightened Happiness

In this video, we will prove to all just how happiness works — taking our lead from modern day Master Eckhart Tolle’s book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose. “The world will tell you that success is achieving what you set out to do. It will tell you that success is winning, that finding recognition and/or prosperity are essential ingredients in any success.

When referring to his disciples, The Master of Life and Truth prayed, “I pray not that Thou should take them out of the world, but that Thou should keep them from the evil one.” (the ego?) ~ John 17:15 From passages such as the above, we can conclude that there is an evil one in the world that has to be reckoned with. In the book of Genesis the evil one is the serpent who beguiles mankind to eat the
