Center for Spiritual Living Olympia

So much of our training is to “know about” things – life, ourselves, spirituality, each other. But knowing about keeps us on the surface, where it’s safe, but shallow. It’s not until we deeply know that we tap into both our own inner brilliance, as well as the gifts that Life has to offer. This month, we explore “non-ordinary intelligence.” This month we explore the artist, healer, and mystic that lives within each of us.
“When we understand that things are not only as they appear to common sensible perception. We find the need to nurture an uncommon kind of perception.” ~ Mary Watkins
We'll be using the book Deep Knowing by Kim Hermanson as our inspiration.
For our first week, we begin with Uncommon Perception. "Since the Enlightenment, our view of what is real has been organized around the hegemony of a technological and materialistic worldview…[our] mind-set has made the very idea of other worlds unthinkable." (Suzi Gablik) We’ll explore expanding our perception, beyond our way of ordinary seeing and thinking.

Our weekly Sunday Service explores ideas from many faith traditions and how to live practically as a spiritual person in today's world. We are based on the Science of Mind, (not related to Scientology) the work of Ernest Holmes, one of the best known New Thought teachers and writers of the 1900's. Music, meditation, talk, youth program. We are an open and affirming community for all. We begin with a 15 minute meditation at 10:30. The service, beginning at 11, consists of an opening prayer, meditation, music, talk, and an invitation to support this community. In addition to our in-person, we will livestream to YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgO1a71-xK5o8JL8vMaPbYA

How can you outgrow the limits that do not protect you? How can you unlearn the stories that keep you from being who you truly are?

A little White Rabbit inspiration. We have been so conditioned to think logical, orderly, structured processes are the way to live life. What if there are other ways? What if we are other than logical, orderly, structures?

We conclude this month's series by going deep. As we go deep, we awaken something from another world that is already alive within us. It alters our psychological structure and how we see the world in which we live.
