As Rev Dr Marcia Sutton said often: Order is the first Principle of Heaven.
As we more and more allow Divine Order to live through us, chaos falls away. Divine Order is inherent in each of us. Our job is to allow it to live through us.
Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds us: “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” We begin to let the Order within shape our vision of our world without.
Let’s affirm: “Every phase of my world is in Divine Order. Divine Order heals, prospers, and guides me now. I AM in Divine Order.”

The Challenges of Addressing Mind, Body, Spirit, Past, Generational, Community, and the Uncertainties of Tomorrow are the focus of Sunday's talk by  Joseph Bernard, Ph.D. He is in the process of learning and integrating the wisdom of a great healer Gabor Mate and his book The Myth of Normal while undertaking the challenge of counseling and leading group therapy for alcoholics and drug addicts who are using drugs more deadly than ever--many of them with deep issues that are so much more complicated than these substances. ]]>

Sadly, No Audio Recording: the computers were down, but CLICK HERE for a video of the slides she used.

 Did you know the words healing, holy and whole all come from the same root? 
This Sunday we had an opportunity to learn and apply spiritual principles designed to help restore our cells to their natural balance. Our messenger, Eileen Lighthawk, will share spiritual insights and practical tips to help us experience Healing from the Inside Out.
Eileen has a unique background that has allowed her to witness many happy transformations in people's bodies and lives. She notes that our bodies are designed to heal. However, we also have free will and can both enhance or inhibit the flow of restoration and renewal.

<![CDATA[Holy Gazing]]>Sun, 07 Apr 2024 21:58:24 GMThttps://oceanunitychurch.org/sundayservicerecordings/holy-gazingRev. Jean Celia

Looking with eyes of Love allows a “holy gazing”. We spend much of our lives looking at the 
outer world for information to process.
​“Holy gazing” is a different kind of seeing, it is looking with the eyes of the heart.
Seeing through the eyes of Love, having the eyes to see Truth, I have referred to as “authentic observation”. Allowing the ChristLight that lives in each of us to cleanse the filters of judgment, opinion, fear, and the like from our sight. So we can gaze upon the outer world from a sense of One, Love, Light, and Joy that lives in each of us.]]>

Happy Easter! 
​As we celebrate once again the certainty of the resurrection of Love, of Christ, of Light that survives the experience of death.  And lives through each of us.
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17)
What a glorious promise!  The notion of “spring cleaning” our home, getting the dust out and changing what no longer works for us, maybe moving the furniture, perhaps making a few runs to donate “stuff” to the local thrift store, works in our heart and mind too.  We can allow the “old things” that seem stale and no longer useful to drift away.  Thoughts.  Actions.  Beliefs.  Feelings.  “All things become new”
What a glorious time to gather together in resounding Joy, singing, sharing, listening, laughing, and simply being.

​Dr. Shrock tells us that Practicing abundance actually is simple; you just need to open to it.
You already have it all right now. 
You are God/the Life Force manifesting in human form,
but always connected to your Source.
You are the all of it. Scarcity is an illusion.
See the beauty and perfection in everything.
Radiate the peace and harmony of who you truly are. 
Know you are perfectly safe and loved.
No doubts. No worries. No fears.
He will share some ideas about how we can do that.

Dr. Shrock served for many years as Director of Mind-Body Medicine for a physician management group of 40 cancer centers, where he taught and researched a wellness program that improved survival with cancer. He is the bestselling author of Doctor's Orders: Go Fishing, Why Love Heals: Mind-Body-Spirit Medicine, and Living and Thriving: A Mind-Body-Spirit Program for Wellness.

Do you like to dance? Whether you're a ballroom champion or a secret dancer who only waltzes in the living room, there's something poetic and liberating in moving our bodies with the flow of music we enjoy. When we receive a beautiful tune and are moved by it, we add to the beauty and expansiveness of Life. It is our joy and participation that matter far more than any illusions of perfection. When we accept the invitation to move with Life, when we take joy in just BE-ing, we add more joy to our world. Eileen Lighthawk, reminds us that with every new day, we are each being invited to a-bun-dance. And just like any other dance, our participation is completely optional.

Beyond the ordinary mind is the doorway to taking a leap in life. In an expanded view we are not our body or even our mind. We are contained within consciousness where everything resides. Together we will explore a deeper way of knowing who we are beyond the noise that has been running us most of our lives and instead take a leap into the endless possibilities.  
Joseph Bernard, PhD., is working with addicts and alcoholics right here in our community and county. He is assisting them to take a leap beyond their dependency on their familiar and invited them to seek the extraordinary.]]>

​Almost any way you look at it, 2024 is going to be a transformational year. Change isn't just coming. It's coming fast; and more is on the way. Like it or not, change happens. The beauty of free will is that we get to choose if we want to help co-create the kind of changes we'd like to see in our lives and in our world. 
This Sunday, our messenger, Eileen Lighthawk, will share with us proven tools to move forward, onward and upward with more flow, grace, ease and joy. With humor and practical insights, Eileen reminds us all that we were born for this.]]>

The best laid plans sometimes go awry. There is a well-used line: If you want to hear God laugh, tell Her your plans! In other words, Life Happens!
When Life Happens, it’s choice time. Go with the flow or struggle? I realize that it does not seem that simple in the moment. I am in New Jersey right now, and have been for almost two weeks, helping a family member diagnosed with Guiliand Barre Syndrome. Through ten days in ICU and now in a Rehabilitation Center to learn to recover from paralysis.
Leaping to Serve, willing to say yes when called upon, is a spiritual practice we can each excel at. Whether it’s a smile in the grocery line or flying across the country to be of service, we each bless the world when we are willing to share the Light we are. God is, I AM, Light.

Rev. Jean Celia wishing everyone a joyous, healthy 2024, filled with peace, light, and love. We begin a brand new year, filled with possibilities, dreams, prayers, joy, and maybe apprehension, concerns, and fears. Let’s join together to set our intentions for this new year, stopping, breathing, releasing what no longer serves us and accepting the qualities of God we are ready to embrace and reveal more fully. This may seem like a huge undertaking.  It can be.  If not done with an open heart, acceptance, and joy.  Together we will revel in Spirit revealing our next step, next adventure, our 2024.]]>

"Transition into a New Year". Phil DeGeorge is by day a small business operator serving his local community with technical services and support, and fun stuff as well. The rest of the time he's a writer, speaker, commentator, massage therapist, and a semi-permanent fixture to the nearest hot tub. (He's also a minister, but we don't talk about that.) This week he wants to conclude this month's theme on Peace & Love, and also help in concluding this calendar year. These are not unrelated topics. The key that binds them together is transition. ]]>

Magical, mystical, majestic Christmas Eve! For some of us, the most meaningful, wonderful day of the year! Why? “For to us a child is born...and He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Music, fellowship, inspiration on Christmas Eve morning, celebrating the birth of the Prince of Peace on earth, fully, in humanity. That Peace that surpasses human understanding, that Peace that was born in the Light of that morning more than two thousand years ago is the very Peace and Light that live in you. And is reborn, nourished, and celebrated on Christmas - and every day. We celebrate Christmas, celebrate the growing light after the Winter Solstice, and celebrate Peace - the hope of peace, the promise of peace, the presence of peace.
We celebrate each other! Merry Christmas and a peaceful, joyous new year of gracious plenty and Peace.
