A Spiritual Journey (What Exit?)
Rev. Rhea Carol, Guest Minister
Dr. Ernest Holmes, in the Science of Mind textbook writes, “To meditate upon the Presence of God is to draw the Universe into one’s own soul. God is not a person but a principle personified in each of us. Spirituality is the atmosphere of this Principle. Religion is its outward form.” I’ll share my spiritual journey traveling on the Garden State Parkway.
Music: Elaine Held, Music Director Emerita
Rev. Rhea has studied Science of Mind for 40 years. She was the founder of Center for Spiritual Living in Asbury Park. She has given talks all over NJ and Paoli, PA. She holds guided meditations on the beach, weather permitting.
The weekly service and Thursday Tea Time links are sent out via email each week. In addition, our weekly eblast that comes out on Thursday mornings has loads of information about UUCMC happenings. If you are not already on our email list, click the button in the footer to sign up. Our Facebook page (click here) is also updated as information unfolds.
We welcome you into our meetinghouse or you can join us in community from your homes.
June Monthly Theme: The Practice of FREEDOM
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
The bird you put inside a cage, you will have to find it another name, for it is no longer a bird.
Had I not created my whole world, I would certainly have died in other people’s.
The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.
It is only through disruptions and confusion that we grow and are set free, jarred out of ourselves by the collision of someone else’s private world with our own.
As long as you make an identity for yourself out of pain, you cannot be free of it.
Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.
The more you try to control something, the more it controls you.
True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. Necessitous people are not free people.
Juneteenth exists as a counterpoint to the Fourth of July; the latter heralds the arrival of American ideals, the former stresses just how hard it has been to live up to them.
