Denise’s Daring Daydreams for 03/21/19
What an amazing ride spirit has been taking us on. Quite a few of us spent the weekend with Grandmother SilverStar assimilating more of the Universal & Spiritual Laws of Creation. Several of us met for Lunch Bunch midday on Wednesday and discussed what Compassion looks like in a world that works for all. Then many of us met in circle on Wednesday evening as Deb Moore led us in Satsang, “gathering together with the truth.” What has occurred to me during the ride this week is that all the words and experiences lead us back to One Truth – I AM.
In the Unity way of life you may have heard me or other spiritual leaders say, “Be careful of the words you place after, I Am.” Have you ever wondered what that really means? To me it speaks of a deeper truth, because who I am at the core is the true essence of my spirit. When I remember who I am, I realize my essence is beyond body images, labels or words.
I know you will want to join this flow with us on Sunday morning as we continue our conversations around who we are and how the very idea of “who we think we are” has influenced our ideas of Justice, Mercy, and Humility. Have you ever wondered how justice, the giving and receiving of it shapes the collective consciousness – what we believe about ourselves and others?
Voices of Unity will be in the house to bless us with beautiful vibrations from our own Dr. Judy Blackwelder.

Denise’s Daring Daydreams for 03/14/19
After Sunday’s Lesson there may be some of you that are still asking, “Why is that so important?” The reason for its importance is pretty evident all around us, and March is the month we are talking about Justice maintaining the very balance of life on our planet. In those discussions we are affirming: We are stepping humbly towards justice through loving acts of mercy. Let’s step forward with a few quotes from different cultural perspectives:
- Martin Luther King, Jr. stated: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
- The Dalai Lama states: “In the end people’s love for truth, justice, freedom, and democracy will triumph. No matter what governments do, the human spirit will always prevail.”
- Oscar Romero – 4th Archbishop of San Salvador said: “You cannot reap what you have not sown. How are we going to reap love in our community if we only sow hate?”
- The Bahai Community believes: All men/women have been created to carry forward an ever advancing civilization evolving towards wholeness & unity.
- Chief Arvol: “Each of us is put here in this time and this place to personally decide the future of humankind. Did you think the Creator would create unnecessary people in a time of such terrible danger? Know that you yourself are essential to this World.”
I know that as we move closer to our Nashville Chooses Peace Festival – April 27th – that you will want to acknowledge you own “essentialness” in the conversations and movement of more and more peace on this planet. Peace can only come through Oneness and Oneness cannot happen unless we begin to have this deeper conversation about Justice.
Learning to live in relationship to spirit is a uniquely personal journey. It means awakening to the sacredness in every moment and in all forms of life. I leave you with the word Namaste’ meaning:
My soul honors your soul.
I honor the love, light, beauty, truth and
Kindness within you – because
It is also within me.
In sharing these things
There is no distance and no difference between us.
We are the same. We are one.
