THE POWER OF PARADOX -

THE PARADOX OF THE POWERLESS

There are so many baffling and mind-bending ideas in religion that attempting to approach such ideas and concepts with solely the rational mind, one would be bound to fall short. Paradox is a seemingly contradictory statement that upon further investigation, and deeper exploration is surprisingly true. Teachings of the Christ present us with ideas and concepts that seem unwise, yet result in advanced spiritual unfoldment. When approaching such teachings through a viewpoint of wholeness, we can combine both our mental and emotional capacities to lift our lives to a whole new level. 

Join us this Sunday to consider the importance of paradox, and the power at our disposal upon an admission of powerlessness. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first. If you want to save your life, you will destroy it. If you give up your life for me, you will find it.

MINDFULNESS MONDAYS MEDITATION

Is meditation a mysterious practice for you? Is meditation a precious practice which you consider priceless? Someone once said that there may be as many types and forms of meditation as there are people. “Maybe there are as many definitions of spiritual awakening as there are people who have had them.We've begun a series of meditation practices on Mondays that are introduced, led, or facilitated by numerous people from a variety of fields. Come to consider what type, form, or method of meditation best suits you. 

Join us at Unity Windward on Monday evenings at 6:30 in the Sanctuary, where we’ll gather to consider practices to benefit your life through the practice of meditation. Meditation has been shown to reduce stress, reduce anxiety, reduce memory loss, increase mood, increase centering in love, and increase self-awareness. Available for a love offering.

ONLINE METAPHYSICAL BIBLE STUDY ON ZOOM

Explore and examine the Bible through approachable, inclusive, and no longer mysterious metaphysics. The Holy Bible was never meant to be a dead, lifeless rule book, so we’ll use a variety of translations to enliven the scriptures. The Ancient Christian tradition held the loftiest approach to scripture as allegorical or spiritual, so we’ll experience it as the Living Word! With an open heart and an open mind experience the lessons and stories from the Bible that apply to all of us, right here, and right now. Through the lenses of Unity Metaphysicians, and other contemporary Christian teachers discover what the Bible means for us today.

The dominant, literal, modern approach to scripture minimizes the experience of a vastly rich text. An impoverished literality of much of modern Christianity detracts from the bountiful beauty, and magnificent mystery of the depth of metaphysical exploration. Metaphysical bible study emboldens and empowers you, all the while igniting your desire to renew, rededicate, and resurrect your life through the Way exemplified by Jesus.
