Consciousness. Integrity. Love.
Love Deeper Than You Can Imagine
I find it amusing how confused I really was when I found the Center of Light. I thought that I had a pretty good handle on what it meant to be a spiritual seeker through my years of reading and studying. I’d been exposed to most every flavor of religion and spirituality, but it never occurred to me that I was headed the wrong direction.
Over the last six months I have discovered I was missing the most important part of being a spiritual seeker… the heart. I was so out of touch with my feelings that I was truly lost, and my heart felt like an empty wasteland.
What a blessing to have been led to a place where the teachers know Jesus and Mary from the heart. They don’t have to imagine or speculate. They know, and they eagerly wait to show others how to walk the path that leads to God. If you think you can imagine what it feels like to walk this path, I would have to say you have no idea until you do. The love is deeper than you can possibly imagine!
Every day I feel like I am able to love more and appreciate more. Every day the reality of God’s love for us becomes clearer and more real. I’m so thankful for the ways I have been loved, and how deep and personal the love is. Only our creator could love us so deeply and perfectly. And only the path of love is actually worth walking.

Journey of Love
about 9 months ago - No comments
When I first stepped into the Center of Light, I felt enveloped by sincerity, warmth, and love. I was spiritually searching for this authenticity and genuineness and knew that this is where it existed in its purest form. When first meeting with Reverend David and Reverend Monica, I became aware that my pursuit of transformative More >
Mary of Magdala

Over the past couple of weeks, at the Center of Light, Seattle we have been reading about and discussing the conversion of Mary Magdalene. Her story is a story of complete transformation. She went from being riddled with darkness to becoming one of the most faithful of the Master Jesus’ disciples. Hers is a journey More >
Overwhelmed by Love

At the time I found the Center of Light two years ago, I felt like a leaf that was hopelessly tossed about in the autumn wind. There were some temporary ups and funny turns, but the overall trajectory seemed downward and hopeless. In my heart I was despaired. For years I had tried to find More >
Dreaming of Brotherhood
about 1 year ago - No comments
When I was nine years old I remember my parents telling me, “we’re going to move just one more time.” They sincerely understood that it was getting harder to leave friends and schools as my sister and I got older. By the time we settled in Colorado one year later it was the eighth house More >
That I Am Loved

I would like to share with you a turning point in my life. A series of events that has caused more healing than I ever thought possible. I refer to the story as the time when God forced me to accept being loved. (Now, I know God doesn’t force one to do anything, but hear More >
The Start of My Life in God

I was an artist. This was just what I was and if you asked me how I was going to support myself as an artist (was I going to be a commercial graphic designer? NO!) I would get very offended because that just didn’t matter to me as much as being “free” and making art More >
Colorado Peace Ride 2010
about 1 year ago - 4 comments
The Colorado Peace Ride? It’s a 238-mile bicycle ride in the mountains to raise money for non-profit organizations. I said, “Sure. I’ll do it.” I hadn’t ridden a bike since I was twelve years old, but I was up for the challenge. I had no idea what I was getting into. After all, it’s just about riding a bike, right? More >
Not Your Parents’ Jesus and Mary

I have been living in spiritual community for six weeks now, as a novice at the Chicago Center of Light. I made this move because for the last two years I have been more and more involved with this spiritual practice, through meditation classes, spiritual seminars, and eventually through relationships with Teachers, priests, and the More >
Will My Question Finally Be Answered?
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
For the past 20 years, my subconscious mind was driven by one pre-dominantly question, “What is the purpose of my life?” I got raised by an agnostic mother and grew up in a country destroyed by a religious civil war so turning to God, Jesus and Mary to get questions answered was not an option.

The Seeds of God’s Love

Why is it that some people feel and know God’s love for them and some people feel like God is against them or not hearing them and seeing them? Through my experience in working with different people I have found that the degree to which someone can receive and feel God’s love is in direct More >
