November 21, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 107 MB

It is necessary to give freely if we are to receive freely. The law of receiving includes giving. The knowledge that substance is omnipresent and that people cannot, therefore, impoverish themselves by giving (but rather will increase their supply) will enable us to give freely and cheerfully. -Charles Fillmore This Sunday brought an opportunity to express our gratitude for ALL who serve this community!

October 24, 2023 00:00 - 30 minutes - 41.4 MB

We have all experienced those 'seasons of life' that feel particularly difficult and overwhelming. It seems that we are collectively being called to navigate just such a season- as a human family.

October 09, 2023 00:00 - 26 minutes - 61.3 MB

To become one with all that we are is to turn toward all that we experience in life. Some aspects of our experience are more challenging than others and our human tendency to criticize ourselves when we are struggling is not helpful.

From a spiritual perspective, we know that we are for...

Episode 111: Inner Enemy or Inner Ally | Unity Spiritual Center Denver | 10.1.23

October 04, 2023 00:00 - 30 minutes - 68.8 MB

All of the world's faith traditions offer some version of The Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be treated. Yet, few of us would actually treat our another as harshly as we do ourselves at times! This seems to be particularly true when we are challenged or struggling in some aspect of our life. While most of us are able to offer kindness and compassion to others who are experiencing difficulty, fewer have mastered that same response to oneself. Why do you suppose that i...

August 22, 2023 00:00 - 4 minutes - 10.5 MB

We concluded our Summer of Awe series Sunday with the grandeur of epiphany! Who doesn't love a good epiphany? Epiphanies are those big ‘aha’ moments whereby our current understanding of life gets rearranged in such a way that a whole new perspective suddenly becomes known. In his book Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, the author Dasher Keltner summarizes the experiences of epiphany from the participants in his study of awe as follows: “Ar...

August 07, 2023 00:00 - 29 minutes - 68.4 MB

Last weekend while camping, I experienced firsthand the reprieve that time in nature offers. This was no doubt magnified by my concurrent reading of the book, Awe by Dacher Keltner. As the Universe would have it,I was literally reading the chapter on Wild Awe which speaks to the emerging science behind what so many of us have experienced in nature!

How can we live “the good life” has long been the perennial question. “Find awe,” was the simple answer that inspired UC Berkley psychology professor and author, Dacher Keltner to study the emotional state of awe. His book entitled, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How it Can Transform Your Life, offers inspirational stories and insights on the evolution of the experience, and the spiritual component that often imbues this emotion.

June 26, 2023 00:00 - 35 minutes - 81.5 MB

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged…” Our lesson this week will consider the practical implications of that infamous saying offered in Matthew 7:1-2. Like most of us, I came to understand this to mean that as I judged others harshly, GOD would judge me harshly in return. This stems from the teaching of a literal ‘judgement day’ whereby our eternal future will be decided, for better or worse.. What many of us love about Unity i...

Prayer is one of the primary commonalities in every spiritual tradition. Although there are a variety of different prayers and ways of praying throughout the world’s religions, all of them use prayer to focus attention on the qualities of the Divine and our relationship to it. All of us at some point have been exposed to some form of prayer and along with that, we have also absorbed a number of myths and misconceptions about prayer as well. Today we explored what prayer is and is no...

Rev. Rachel Harrison was our guest speaker this week. She talked about the 29th verse of the Tao Te Ching that begins with the line " Do you think you can take over the universe and improve it?" When I began my Soul Recovery journey and began to unravel my unhealthy beliefs- this was at the heart of my suffering... my desire to control.

Author Robert Brumet ultimately equates “the evolution of consciousness with the evolution of self- identity. Each level of the ladder of evolution has a different answer to the question who am I?” (Brumet, pg. 129). He also offers us an important reminder that we cannot transcend what we have not yet reclaimed, healed and integrated within our self. Last week we explored the power of forgiveness and grief work as necessary and healthy practices for navigating the fullness of our l...

We are continuing our Sunday series based on the book, Birthing a Greater Reality: A Guide for Conscious Evolution by Robert Brumet. This week's exploration considers the process by which we lost touch with our essential (spiritual) nature, instead identifying with the persona formed around our ego-identity. I know that we are all well past our formative years- so you may be asking, why are we re-hashing our childhood at this point? The answer is that we are conscious evolution. Th...
