“ When I was a child, I spoke as a child; I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ” From Saint Paul’s letter to the Corinthians chapter 13 in which he spoke for the first ten verses of the attributes of love. As though beginning a new thought, he wrote the above quote. The quote woke me up in the middle of the night and would not be laid down. So I thought I’d better look into this so that I can get back to sleep. I read the whole chapter again. The first ten verses spoke of childlike attributes that is worth striving to become. Children are trusting and give their love and affection without asking that the recipient of their love be worthy of it. Children are honest and trustworthy themselves. Children are naturally joyous and happy. They may pout for a moment when their wants are unmet; but given a moment, more often than not, they return to their joyful selves. Childishness, on the other hand, is often pet

Friday and Saturday I attended a Women's Retreat at Unity North Atlanta. It was one of the most beneficial gathering I had attended in a very long time. Amy Steinberg was magnificent and her voice will shake mountains is its strength. The process she led with women in a circle to claim their past condition was very powerful.

For me the most expanding sessions were the circle within the circle where we stepped in the inner circle for al

The souls which occupy bodies are small fragments of the entire soul. A soul is far too powerful to be contained entirely within an earthly body. The entirety of the soul is available to the human with which it is associated. That is to say all the wisdom, the knowledge, the power and the love into which the soul has been expanding over the eons is available to humans. This is considerable. The soul is continuously expanding on multiple planes of existence and is attentive to every fragment it sends out to gain experience. The textures of physical existence are important to the soul, because physicality provides enormous opportunities for rapid expansion. Every experience is used by the soul as a vehicle for expansion and is processed as such. Whether the experience is viewed by our physicality as negative or positive the experience is valued by the soul and added to itself. The earth is a complete soul.
