Greater Philadelphia Center For Spiritual Living

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from June 4, 2017: The ability to respond to a situation from the deepest place of connection with Source, rather than experiencing any false sense of duty or obligation, immediately shifts the state of mind from compulsion to joy. It is in the "two-or-more" consciousness that all things can be accomplished with grace and ease. It is not "I" but the Powerful Presence within that achieves the highest and the best by means of each of us. God in me, expresses not only through me, but AS me, and moving to that level of awareness is my greatest responsibility.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from May 28, 2017: In accepting divinity's continual expression in, through, and as our humanity, we live in the flow of Love, Wisdom, Creativity, and Wholeness. As we no longer permit any hindrance to the movement of Spirit through our physical, mental, and emotional nature, we enjoy a full and balanced life, establishing a free-flowing, abundant way of living, and positively connecting with others in peace and harmony. Training our conscious minds to focus on Truth, we find our subjective activity becoming receptive to great and growing good, and we know ourselves to be peaceful and powerful instruments through which Divine Life freely flows. It is a delight to live in Grace and to remain steady in the delicious experience of aliveness.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from May 21, 2017: Now is the time to release forever any false belief in lack or limitation and every past hypnotic idea of scarcity or worthlessness which the human race consciousness may have suggested we accept. As Emerson wisely requested, Let us take our bloated nothingness out of the path of the divine circuits. Truly, all that stands in the way of our creative life expression are the mental blocks and emotional conflicts previously planted within our subconscious mind and currently ready to be released and transformed. It is in this powerful moment of NOW that we are wisely and effectively creating our future, so setting a conscious intention to become more interested in today's infinite possibilities opens the way to healing and releasing all sense of separation or restriction.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from May 14, 2017: Whether writing a poem, forming a new recipe, planting a garden, or birthing a child, we are all artists in our own way, expressing something beautiful and new by becoming a dynamic instrument of Universal Creativity. There is an innate, divine urge that must be lived, not simply examined and understood but brought forth into full manifestation. As the Universal, Conscious Mind forms and expresses each divine idea through the Universal Subconscious Mind, so each of us engages in that same creative expression. We take great delight in joining together in conscious communities to bring about the magnificent idea of a new heaven and a new earth and welcome in a new era of peace, productivity, and possibility.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from May 7, 2017: Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels, knew that Vision is the art of seeing the invisible. A clear, desirable, impelling vision is filled with far greater possibility than what may be found in any current circumstance. It is the intelligent use of creative imagination that opens every door to greater health, expanding wealth, richer relationships, and authentic life purpose. It is this willingness to open to the Infinite that invites the flow of intuitive knowing and increased opportunities, as the Creative Intelligence moves peacefully and powerfully through the instrumentation of each person's awareness. Then, as the two or more consciousness is activated, each spiritual community becomes empowered to co-create a world that works for all.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Apr 30, 2017: We understand that we live as a human manifestation of a divine reality and that we must learn to become comfortable doing a "graceful dance" between the Absolute truth of our spirituality and the relative facts of our humanity. There is every reason to celebrate and enjoy both aspects of our expression, as it is truly rewarding to enjoy human experiences and joyous to delight in spiritual bliss. Accepting ourselves with both our individual genius and human foibles is the right step to acknowledging and embracing our divine reality. It is absolutely appropriate to delight in our many, beautiful ways to express ourselves, and to live as a unified presence of love and joy.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Apr 23, 2017: Once awakened from the dream of separation from Source, of doing everything "by our own hand," and of struggle and strife, we must remain conscious of our aliveness and deep resources. Rather than giving up our sovereignty and giving in to the desire to relegate responsibility and affix blame to others, we must stay awake and aware of what is now possible. The world would have us believe that it dictates our reactions and represses our creativity; but, the voice of Truth within can never succumb to this pretense, so we deny its power over us and remain faithful to our new stage of being awake and alive with great insight and vast power.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Apr 16, 2017: As the personage of Jesus gave way to the radiant consciousness of the Christ, so each of us awakens to the deeper spiritual truth of our True Divinity. Embracing this divine power, we change "from glory to glory," finally remembering our true nature. Just as the cold winter gives way to green shoots and colorful blossoms, so we transform from the dream of impotence to the reality of the Power of co-creation with which we are naturally imbued, being and becoming an individualized expression of Light, Love, and Life. Crossing out all sense of struggle and pain, we experience our own resurrection from ignorance to Wisdom, from aloneness to Unity, and from fear to Love.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Apr 9, 2017: Every path we walk is supported by Infinite Mind, and we have reason to trust Its Wisdom and clear direction. The fear of surrendering to the unknown ultimately must give way to the sheer joy of aliveness, as we are lifted to a higher consciousness, a deeper awareness of The Possible, and a state of supreme faith in a Presence and a Power greater than anything we have known in the human experience. As we depend upon The Dependable, all necessary resources are provided the moment they are required, and our confidence in our ability grows in direct proportion to our conviction that The Presence cherishes and sustains us and the Power guides and maintains us.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Apr 2, 2017: Baby steps are a big deal to the baby! Even small, incremental, conscious actions toward deeper understanding through our inner work can bring important revelations to aid in our forward progress. These essential movements can build such a strong base of confidence that amazing advances may begin to occur. As David Lloyd George suggests, "Don't be afraid to take a big step. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps." Something within the human soul longs to experience larger freedom, greater satisfaction, and more creative expression. As Helen Keller stated, "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." Without judging or comparing our personal evolutionary process, we may simply enjoy the journey.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Mar 26, 2017: It is in this powerful moment of NOW that we move from the talking school to the walking school, standing in our truth, rising to a greater vision for ourselves and our Community and stepping up and into a full-body "YES." Our contributions are invaluable, the joy of commitment immeasurable, and the satisfaction of co-creating an inspired future priceless.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Mar 19, 2017: As we align our hearts and minds to our highest vision, mission, and purpose, we gladly commit to service, joining with others of like mind who align skills, enthusiasm, and intention to bring something remarkable into both the local and global environment. Working together with selfless service, we find freedom in giving our unique gifts and joy in witnessing the co-creation of an inspired and inspiring Community.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Mar 12, 2017: Continuing to learn the eternal truths and dynamic principles of Science of Mind, we rely more and more completely upon Spirit as the Source of our Radiant Health, our Loving Relationships, our Creative Expression, and our Abundant Good. One with the Whole, each gives and receives an ever-growing supply of all that is needed and desired, the greatest gift being the effervescent Life of God loving, nurturing, guiding, and inspiring us to live fully, freely, and completely.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Mar 05, 2017: In our personal lives and in the life and work of our Beloved Community, we are constantly learning, continually growing, and consciously expanding our divine idea beyond all previous experience or belief. We bring possibility into actuality by sustaining enthusiasm for the vital, dynamic, new Vision we are ready to birth into our world.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Feb 26, 2017: Entering into authentic agreement with Divine Life is one of the wisest choices we may make, as it is in such willing union with the Universe that we become open and receptive to a great and growing Good. The Perfect Plan for us emerges magnificently the moment we cease struggling and relax into the calm, clear awareness that the Universe is FOR us, the Presence adores us, and the Law responds TO us. With no more complaints, only constructive, creative ideas and actions, we move elegantly into the holy flow of Life and enjoy it fully.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Feb 19, 2017: In a sense, each of us is "president of our own lives," as we lead beautiful, conscious, successful life experiences, guided by our inner principles, and following the inspiration of Spirit every day. No external opinion or advice dissuades us from listening deeply to our hearts and following the guidance of Infinite Intelligence. Nothing can surpass the appropriate and brilliant, internal leadings that move us with grace and ease into each correct choice and fulfilling activity.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Feb 12, 2017: Here is an elegant statement, "Love is not blind - it sees more, not less. But because it is able to see more, it is willing to see less." ~ Attributed to Julius Moore As we celebrate Love, we realize that, without Wisdom, we may be misguided in our expression of It. Likewise, simply thinking things through without connecting with our hearts does not invite warm, caring experiences or relationships. Love and Wisdom are the two pillars on which conscious, creative, compassionate alliances are formed, and both are Universal Qualities of God with which we are naturally imbued. It is wonderful to celebrate the innate Love that abides within us by engaging our inherent Wisdom in the activity of seeing beyond all appearance to the Beloved Presence within each person and between all people. It is here, in the field of understanding, clarity, and gratitude that we are finally able to employ all our spiritual gifts to love both wisely and unconditionally.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Feb 5, 2017: There is only One Life: God's Life, and all creation is born of that Perfect Life. Like a beautiful garden, with many colors, shapes, and designs expressing their specialness in harmony with all other manifestations of Nature, so we, as individually-designed, yet uniquely formed divine-human beings, radiate the One Life in many distinctive, and exceptional ways. In our desire to understand, respect, and appreciate one another, we experience our sweet unity and celebrate our unrepeatable individuality.

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Jan 29, 2017: This talk is based on Ernest Holmes' The Science of Mind, Introductory Chapter IV, "How to Use It." Once we understand that there is a Presence which loves and nurtures unconditionally and a Law which responds accurately and dependably, we are able to enter authentically into real transformation of our hearts and minds and bring greater spiritual magnificence into our everyday, human existence. It is our honor and our privilege to rise up in consciousness and do the Work we are here to do, knowing it is possible because we are never doing it alone. God is a mighty, moving Power for Good, and we are individualizations of It. As Ernest Holmes began each inspiring talk, "THERE IS A POWER FOR GOOD IN THE UNIVERSE, GREATER THAN YOU ARE, AND YOU CAN USE IT." We have finally come to realize that, " THERE IS A POWER FOR GOOD IN THE UNIVERSE, GREATER THAN YOU ARE, AND IT CAN USE YOU!"

Rev. Dr. Maxine Kaye, talk from Jan 22, 2017: It is time we understood that the Universe withholds nothing from us; rather, Its gifts are given continuously and provide fulfillment, to the degree that we are able to accept them. Our beliefs become our reality, as the Law of Mind faithfully produces our deepest, truest ideas and attitudes. Once we realize that, in Ernest Holmes' words, "It is the nature of the Universe to give us what we are able to take. It cannot give us more. It has given all, we have not yet accepted the greater gift." ~ Science of Mind, P.42 As co-creators with Divine Mind, we are wise to enter into our spiritual work with gratitude, clarity of purpose, and trust in both the loving Presence and the dependable Law of Mind. As we learn to become more generous receivers, we are able to honor the Giver and expand our greater expression of life.
