March 28, 2010 – How to Love Yourself


Rev. David McArthur

Jesus taught that the greatest commandment is You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, and that the second is like it, Love your neighbor as yourself. The experience of love for self is experiencing God because God is love. Appreciating the frequencies, the energies, the textures of life is part of the experience of heaven. The sweetness of life is God; the wonderful flavor and richness of life is God.

God’s love is the only way that the richness of life is open to you. Your body is love with a physicality to it, so that you may play in the things you love. Every moment there is divine energy moving through you – you don’t even have to be right! It’s absolute love. God is everywhere and in everything. God is abundant. Let the love of God in.

The people in your life are God expressing, asking you to step up to be who you can really be. You are loved. There’s not people and God, there is only God. The child falls, and gets up, it does something wonderful, it makes a mess. Regardless, the parent delights in the child. And God delights in us, messes and all. We are so blessed.

So let in that which fills your heart. You are loving yourself; you are feeling God. You don’t have the power not to have it, only not to feel it. Let it in, fill you up, overflow in and through you, as you. You are the love.

Repeat,

“I am the beloved child of God.”

“I am the beloved child of God.”

“I am the beloved child of God.”

March 21, 2010 – Transforming Resistance


Rev. David McArthur

How do we meet the challenge of people who irritate us? Jesus said that before you remove the speck from your brother’s eye, you should “take the plank from your own eye”. In other words, the problem is more so in you; work on yourself. It’s an inside job. Trying to manipulate the outer world doesn’t work.

As co-creator, you brought everything into your life, but since there is only the love of God, what is in your life is there to bring that which is higher, a way for you to be free. In dealing with those who irritate you, forgiveness frees you from your resentment.

A simple and powerful way to be free to be who you are is Love– love for those you need to forgive but also for you, too. So meet those who irritate you with

“Divine Love flows between us, blessing all.”

“Divine Love flows between us, blessing all.”

It lifts you to the heights! What freedom! What joy! You deserve it!

March 14, 2010 – The Now: Unlimited Possibilities


Rev. David McArthur

When we react to events, we project our past experience into the future. But there is a different potential that can be brought forth, another dimension in which we live, in which we access an amazing goodness and love. The doorway is through the heart. Go into the Silence. It is a place with the most amazing power to it, a place where we step through dimensions of consciousness.

Be present in the “now moment” and add in appreciation. And for the power, add to the moment your awareness of the presence of God. Right now that amazing everywhere-present life force is flowing into you, filling you with life and illuminating your mind every single moment.

It is there loving you.

It has been in this eternal moment of now since you stepped forth into being.

It folds you in infinite love.

Even as you breathe, It breathes you.

It is so unlimited that we literally cross dimensions of consciousness and activate higher levels of our soul purpose and bring forth higher creation. It is how we create with unlimited possibilities.

In the now you higher purpose has nothing to stop its full expression as you bring it forth, and it has the power to transform whatever it is that’s before you because it is not limited in the mind because it is the unlimited presence of divine love moving in and through you. You are one with that. And when you open to that, when you say yes to this moment and this Presence in it, you are blessed … There is no limit.

“I am so blessed. I am so blessed. I am so blessed.” It’s true, because you are that Love.

March 7, 2010 – Appreciating Islam


Nashwan Hamza with Rev. David McArthur

The way of peace through submission to the will of God has really been around since Creation. This is the 95% of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism that is identical. A Muslim (literally one who submits to the will of God) feels our purpose here in this Earthly existence is two-fold. First is to live in harmony– even to differentiate among the peoples of the Earth is to fail in that. Second is to study to know God, Who is evidenced by everything around us.

Is it a coincidence that Unity began as study groups, and that our classes are a mainstay for us still? And do we not strive for harmony with each other, our community, our world around us? We say every Sunday, “In striving to know You, God, we are one.” How affirming to know our Unity with those of “other” faiths!

So peace to you; salaam alaikum!
